Chapter 1470 Shark Talk Comes True
"Whale!" Princess Yongmu, who was eating, saw through the window that there were more than one water jet spraying out of the sea.
Li Yi turned his head: "A group of gray whales spray small water jets, and if you look carefully at the forks, there are two air outlets. They are between three and five feet long. Compared to the blue whales, there is a huge gap."
"How much meat is there?" Princess Yongmu couldn't estimate the weight of the whale from three to five feet.
"The three-foot-long one weighs more than 20,000 kilograms. The meat yield is unclear unless we kill a few more and collect data."
Li Yi has not considered protecting whales at this time. If conditions permit, he will let people capture whales, dolphins and other marine creatures in large numbers.
Killing whales and dolphins for their oil is obviously not worth it.
Eating meat is fine, but the premise is not to waste more time, otherwise wouldn't it be better to lower the bottom net and net more herring and cod?
"Killing one head is enough to feed 10,000 people for a day, but it is difficult to transport it back. The fishing boats on the beach where we are are still too small."
Princess Yongmu also considered eating. Datang sometimes encountered whales and stranded them.
If a whale stranded somewhere, the local people reported it to the government, and the government sent people to deal with it. The skin was peeled off as completely as possible and the meat was cut.
Whale oil is a good thing. The local government intercepted it layer by layer and gave the last part to the emperor.
“When the number of large ships increases, go fishing in the open sea and hunt whales when you encounter them.
There are also sharks. I take time to fish for sharks. The skin and meat of sharks are good. There are also fins, called shark fins. You don’t have to eat just the skin and lips. "
Li Yi licked his lips as he spoke, feeling a little nostalgic.
Princess Yongmu's eyes showed longing: "I have never eaten any of them. Is the meat of whales and sharks delicious?"
"It doesn't taste good, it's fishy, but it depends on how it's made and I handle it. The taste will be good and the nutritional value will be high."
Li Yi is not very picky about the raw materials of food. Fish has thick fiber and is difficult to eat.
Wouldn't it be smashed loose before making? Of course it is difficult to eat it while frying.
In addition, it is said that shark meat has a nasty smell, the smell of urea, which can be soaked out.
Dried pollack is more chewy. Isn't it made into a vegetable?
Princess Yongmu nodded: "On the way back, let's do business first. It doesn't matter if I eat a few less bites. What's important is that the people can eat more food."
“After landing, I went to collect things and fish at the same time. I have an automatic shark fishing thing.
The boat is too fast now and the sharks won't chase it. Otherwise, if it slows down, there is a chance to see dolphins following behind.
In the next two or three years, we will build an aquarium in Zhuangzi and raise slightly smaller fish, including dolphins and penguins. It will only cost money. "
Li Yi thought long term, and now there are red pandas, giant pandas, parrots and other animals for people to watch.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was not only animals that were viewed as objects of appreciation, but also people, including those of short stature, who were viewed as objects of appreciation.
"Don't take too much, just take it back and give it to others to try, otherwise it will take up space."
Princess Yongmu wanted to give her family a bite, but she didn't care.
…
When Li Yi talked about fishing for sharks, there was a group of Yulin Feiqi in Haizhou who didn't know the situation and were waiting for him to come back.
Yulin Feiqi was not idle, fishing in the sea, giving some to the people, selling some, and sending some to Chang'an.
The leader is Fan Fan. He has been running around all day. He was in Tubo and led the team back by land.
Now he is commanding the team to go to sea, and the money earned from selling things is divided among the Yulin Feiqi brothers and sent directly to their respective homes.
The common people would come to collect fish every day, and they didn't ask for much. If they wanted a big fish, they would share it with several households, and if they wanted a small one, it would be enough.
A few days ago, they wanted a lot. They were poor and wanted to eat meat.
If you eat continuously, you may find that you can eat less.
In addition, we have to work and don’t have time to wait. It’s not certain when the boat will come back.
At first, Yulin Feiqi went to the sea to swim and catch fish, which was very difficult.
Isn't this a net weaving? By the way, three navy ships were hired, and people who didn't go to sea threw spinning nets on the beach.
Either helping people build houses, building walls with stones, or even helping the widows carry water.
"Commander Fan, when will Dongzhu Li come back?" Fan Fan had just swam ashore from the sea, which was part of his daily exercise.
During the break, a local clan elder came over and sat next to him.
"Confidential." Fan Fan refused to disclose the time of Li Yi's return. In fact, he didn't know.
"Yes, that's right. I'm afraid that someone might know about it and try to harm Dongzhu Li." The old man is sensible.
After apologizing, he asked again: "When will you leave?"
"Didn't you ask the same question?" Fan Fan looked at him as if he thought I was a fool.
"Captain Fan doesn't know that sixteen people were eaten by sharks last year. It was also around this time. It's about the same time.
I'm afraid that swarms of sharks will come again this year. How can we, the common people, dare to fight sharks in the sea?
A single one is fine, but if a young and brave member of the clan goes into the water to kill them, if they come in groups, they will die if they fall in. "
The old man finally told his purpose. He didn't care when Li Yi would come back. He wanted Yulin Feiqi to help clean up the sharks.
If the shark doesn't come, if Li Yi comes back and the Yulin Flying Cavalry returns to the capital, the shark will still be a threat.
"Oh!" Fan Fan suddenly said: "This matter is easy to talk about. Even if the proprietor comes back and explains the situation to him, we will keep him."
"Isn't Dongzhu Li's safety..." The old man was worried about the lack of manpower to protect Li Yi.
"Safety? We are responsible for carrying things and performing guard of honor. The proprietor doesn't care if others assassinate him." Fan Fan smiled.
The ambulance was parked on the shore. There were about a hundred people around. Who could do anything to Li Yi?
Dig a pit more than ten feet deep? Others and cars can't fall in, but the ambulance can?
Run to the mountain beside the road to prepare big rocks and aim at the ambulance to smash? Yu Lin Feiqi didn't investigate on the way?
Find someone to pretend to be sick and lie on the road, waiting for Li Yi to go down in person? This trick is impossible to work, even for real patients.
"So that's it, I'm relieved." The old man was afraid of becoming a sinner for all ages, now he is relieved.
He then proposed: "I heard that sharks like to eat living things, I will order each family in the clan to prepare a chicken and throw it into the sea to attract sharks to show up."
"No need, the fishermen come back and clean up the fish at the seaside, and when the blood is drained, the blood will enter the sea water, and sharks will naturally come."
Fan Fan learned this from Li Yi. He asked, and Li Yi said it casually.
"Is it like this?" The old man obviously didn't understand.
"Sharks, sharks, there are sharks, groups of sharks, and there are small flags on the sea..."
As the two were talking, someone ran over shouting.
"Here we go." Fan Fan was excited when he heard it.
He had been thinking about catching sharks for a long time. Li Yi said that it was possible to encounter sharks here. When you see a shark, you should kill it under the premise of ensuring safety.
He left the old man and ran over, calling others as he ran.
The Yulin Flying Cavalry swimming in the sea had already come ashore one after another. They only had a saber in their hands, which was quite dangerous.
There were spears on the shore, which were used to deal with sharks, as well as small boats and fishing nets.
The Yulin Flying Cavalry who was closest to the shore was picking the fish from the spinning net and throwing it into the water after cutting a hole.
Some brothers had not come up yet, so they had to be covered.
