Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 455 Return with a rewarding experience

  The giant fish was tumbling crazily in the water, and the big waves were tumbling, and the waves kept beating on the majestic Zhen Guogong.

  The people on board gradually began to calm down after experiencing tension.

  The sailors flew out their steel spears as soon as the ship stabilized. Someone excitedly pulled out a firecracker.

  For such a mentally handicapped person, if he didn’t have time to greet him now, Hu Kaishan would like to smash his dog’s head.

  The helmsman has become more and more calm, and he has begun to get used to it.

  Everyone, start to perform their duties.

  After the enthusiasm, it is a kind of joy after being tired.

  When the giant fish finally struggled less and less, everyone heaved a long sigh of relief.

  Someone leaned out of the side of the boat to see the floating fish corpse.

  The black and white corpse made everyone dumbfounded.

  Hu Kaishan let out a hearty laugh: "Hahahaha..."

  Tang Yin got out from the cabin: "Is it dead, is it dead?"

  The boat swayed for a while just now, which was really horrific. Several times, Tang Yin thought he was going to die.

   Now, the sea water is calm again, and the screaming sailors want to lower the cable and fish up the giant fish.

They are always enthusiastic and always full of energy. Hu Kaishan unceremoniously picked up a guy and snarled at him: "God knows if there is still death, are you in such a hurry to go down to death? Even if it is dead, we Can your boat hold this fish carcass?

   "..."

  The poor sailor was suspended in the air, with his legs kicking wildly in the air. Most importantly, he had to face Hu Kaishan’s bad breath and spittle that hadn’t been brushed for more than ten days.

   "I know... I know I'm wrong."

   "Go back to your post, **** it, return to the voyage immediately, drag this giant fish back, fill up the sails for me, and check what was destroyed everywhere on the ship!"

  Hu Kaishan is the nemesis of these poor people. He often roars and screams, and the poor people who bark their teeth and claws will be quiet. From a tiger to a sick cat, the world will be clean.

  Everyone started pulling the cables and pulling up the sails. Someone rushed into the hold to check the damage of the ship, and the people in the hold began to prepare to throw away the ballast stones.

  Facing the sea breeze, the poor were all smiling, as if their old mothers were getting married, smacking their lips happily.

  The majestic and majestic black-bottomed flag of the Duke of Zhen is fluttering in the wind under the dusk at this time, and it looks extraordinarily dazzling between the majestic sky and the blue sea.

  The sailors who climbed onto the mast impatiently drove away the seagulls that wanted to land, and waved a flag on one side.

  The sailors below received the cables.

Hu Kaishan asked someone to fetch fresh water to wash his face, just now in a panic, the hairpin fell off somewhere, and his hair was disheveled, he wiped his head up with his wet hands, immediately, the long hair was thrown back, He has a bit of a pony-like demeanor. Although... he is uglier.

   "I understand, I understand!" Qi Jingtong became excited.

  He suddenly realized that everything was clear.

   There was light in his eyes.

  Just now, after experiencing a life-and-death calamity, he suddenly realized something.

  He looked excitedly at Tang Yin, then at Hu Kaishan.

  Hu Kaishan flicked his long hair, and the wet long hair flew wildly under the blowing of the sea breeze: "Understand what?"

   "Fishing is also ordered by Uncle Xinjian, right?"

  Hu Kaishan and Tang Yin exchanged glances.

  Thinking about it, it seems that yes, at least the mentor... indeed Xiushu came, let them find ways to kill giant fish!

Qi Jingtong said excitedly: "In the art of war, the most important thing is actual combat. Drilling is certainly useful, but if there is no way to adapt to actual combat, no matter how good the soldiers are, they may not be able to fight a hundred battles when they encounter those ferocious Japanese pirates." Yum. Catching giant fish and fighting with giant fish is the actual combat. What is trained is the skill of Beiwawei in manipulating the ship under extreme urgency. People are like this. When encountering danger for the first time, they tend to get flustered. After encountering many times, they naturally don’t take it seriously. Uncle Xinjian...unpredictable, strategizing, and always full of scheming, I I understand, I understand everything. Giant fish, we can regard it as a ship of Japanese pirates, we constantly fight and fight to the death with it, only in this way can we train a strong soldier with hundreds of battles, I really admire the humble , I really admire it, I claim to be familiar with the art of war and the bow and horse, but in fact I am not as good as Xinjian Bowan."

  Hu Kaishan looked at him with a mentally retarded face.

  Seeing how happy he is, I wonder if this person has a brain problem.

  But then, seeing what he said was so vivid, I actually believed it a little bit.

  His body shook, and he couldn't help thinking, could it be...

   He gasped.

   "Old Tang, I think it's reliable. Perhaps the original intention of benefactor is not for money."

"..." Tang Yin blushed, and when he saw that the two were looking at him expectantly, he let out a long breath: "My teacher has his own intentions in doing things, he...would care about mere money, since he ordered us to catch giant fish , will naturally have its profound meaning.”

   Tang Yin got an accurate answer.

  Qi Jingtong knelt down.

   He really knelt.

  In this life, I have never admired a person so much.

  My lifelong perception is not as good as the careful planning of others.

  At this moment, there is a fire in his chest, burning, the flames are rising and moving, and the flames are endless.

   "Back home..."

   "Go home!"

  The sailors used excited voices and kept relaying: "Go back!"

   "Homecoming!"

  Bringing a somewhat dilapidated majestic Zhen Guogong to the west, all the way to the west.

  At dawn the next day, the big ship returns to port.

   What I brought back this time was not a full warehouse of large yellow croakers.

   Instead…

  Countless people appeared at the port, looking forward to it.

  The voyage time this time is relatively long, and many people who take advantage of this to make a profit can't wait.

   At this time, people noticed something.

   Behind the big boat, there seems to be a small mountain floating in the water.

  The crowd seemed to explode.

   is a giant fish.

  Giant fish!

  Countless people rushed to tell each other, and countless Ningbo people came here one after another, wanting to have a glimpse of it.

  The giant fish untied the rope, and without carrying it, it followed the tide and was washed onto the beach.

  Countless people looked at this huge fish in horror. Even if this fish was placed in a whale, it could be called huge. After it washed up on the beach, when people saw its whole picture clearly, even the sailors were scared to pee.

  It turned out that what they hunted and killed was actually such a huge monster.

  This whale is fourteen feet long, which is already equivalent to the height of twenty people. It is roughly estimated that its weight may be around 300,000 catties.

  Three hundred thousand catties...

  The sailors formed a human wall along the whale, which belonged to them, and no one could take advantage of the opportunity to steal the whale meat away.

  A moment later, the officials of Ningbo Prefecture separated from the chattering crowd, and then, the prefect Wen Yansheng, wearing a winged cap and a brand-new imperial-issued flying fish suit, arrived with a group of officials.

  Wen Yansheng was very interested when he heard that he had caught a big fish, but he was a little upset, but when he arrived excitedly, he knew it was not a big yellow croaker.

  He coughed, put on the majesty of the magistrate, walked around the fish corpse, felt that it was very smelly, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: "This...is it edible?"

  Ignoring the stench, seeing Tang Yin coming, the two greeted each other, looking at the noisy crowd around, Wen Yansheng couldn't help feeling: "This fish is really scary, but I don't know how to deal with it."

   "First refine the fish oil, as instructed by the mentor, and divide the rest of the meat. After all, it is meat, so it is a pity not to eat it. As for the bones, the mentor has ordered that the boat meet the capital."

Wen Yan was very happy: "It's so good, old man...you can taste it first, yes, it is meat after all, otherwise it would be a pity, but this meat smells very fishy from a distance, and it needs to be covered with ingredients Okay, no hurry, no hurry, we need to refine the oil quickly, this fish carcass is huge, we might as well refine the oil on the spot."

  Oil refining is very simple, just cut the whale oil directly, set it on an iron pan, heat it up and boil the oil, and wait until it is almost boiled, let it cool down, and the whale oil is considered finished.

  This is taught by Fang Jifan.

  Master really knows everything.

  But... Tang Yin is already used to it.

  More than 300 screaming sailors each took their knives, and regardless of the fatigue after returning from the sea, they carried bamboo baskets to cut fat and whale meat, and sold the meat directly on the spot.

   This meat also has more than 100,000 catties, five cents a catty, whether you like it or not.

  Five Wenqian is much higher than the price of yellow croaker.

But now, the most difficult time in Ningbo Mansion has passed, and people have begun to restore their stability. What's more, with such a giant fish, people really want to taste this meat. There are many people who buy it, and many people are willing to buy more , This is their experience, the fish bought here are always profitable when they are sold elsewhere.

  Suddenly, besides the onlookers at the port, there were quite a few people carrying poles and baskets back and forth, picking loads of meat away.

Even the whale blood that has not yet been shed, there are screaming sailors holding basins to fill them up. After all... the giant fish is full of treasures, and the whole body will always be useful. Put it up first, maybe, Can it be eaten or used as medicine?

  People always love to eat rare things, and this giant fish couldn't be more rare. Many people whispered in low voices that this giant fish must be a great nourishment. Therefore, many people were tempted to buy it back and try it.

Tang Yin had his hands behind his back, chatting and laughing happily with the prefect Wen Yansheng, Wen Yansheng looked at the giant whale that was slowly being skinned and boned from time to time, with a smile on his face: "This fish is very big, I want to taste it, so it might as well, Later, I will give you a piece of silver, Tang Xiu will write it, and send a load of meat to the house, how about it?"

   Tang Yin said: "How easy is it to receive Wen Gong's silver taels? The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. After a while, Bohu will order someone to send it."

  Wen Yansheng only smiled slightly, but he didn't refuse. He wasn't greedy for the few catties of meat, but there was no need to continue entangled in the matter of money or not for the sake of a few catties of meat. After all...everyone is a gentleman.
