Chapter 1492 This Scene Seems Like the Past
Perhaps because she felt that the things given by the Tang people were too much and too expensive, the female leader was embarrassed to take them, so she shouted to the tribesmen.
The tribesmen took food, dried fish, and dried coconut meat and stood there.
Ruan Jin showed an embarrassed look. He could see that the people on the island were reluctant to leave. Now those foods were very important to them.
"Keep putting the boats, hanging nets, and fishing. We save a lot of time. If we catch more fish, it will be convenient to eat when we come back."
Ruan Jin couldn't bear it. He was from the Tang Dynasty, a country of etiquette.
Not only was his life saved, but he also brought the army back to fight the animals of his savior.
"How much can the boat catch? Ten large sailboats, turn around. Brothers, get ready and show our specialty."
Liu Tingguang, the admiral of the navy, found the same situation, and he called for help.
Their specialty is fishing, all kinds of fishing in the Bohai Bay.
They made a lot of money from this skill and gave it to their families. It didn't matter whether there was military funds from the court.
The navy raised their hands almost at the same time, and they all wanted to go.
Liu Tingguang randomly selected ten boats. The crews of these boats quickly drank two sips of fresh water and rowed and swam to the big boat.
Anchor, hoist sails, adjust, and prepare to cast nets.
The small boats also rowed out with "small" nets, cooperating with each other to surround fish in the near sea.
The small boats used spinning nets and hanging nets. The nearby marine fish belonged to the original ecology and had not experienced modern fishing, so there were many fish.
Throwing out the hand-cast net and then taking it back, there were dozens of fish, which could not be caught by one person.
After a few nets, a small boat was full, and it came to the shore and threw the fish up.
The indigenous people saw a familiar scene, they ran to the nearby area and continued to recommend fish throwing.
Others took stone pieces to scrape the fish scales, remove the gills and internal organs.
Those who did not go into the water took axes and saws, went into the forest and selected and cut down a few trees.
This scene was still so familiar to the indigenous people.
The craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty team looked at the straw mat catamaran on the island, took tools, found dry wood on the island, and started processing.
They are all versatile. They are brought with them for maintenance, steam engines, wooden boats, sails, masts...
They want to build bigger boats for the people on the island. Small boats are easy to capsize, and the same is true for catamarans, but they can carry more cargo.
Take down the tung oil barrels on the boat. After building the boat, you need to brush it with tung oil several times, which takes a long time.
Now you can only brush it twice, once after building it today, and once before leaving.
The tools of the Tang army are not as good as Li Yi's, but there are more people.
The female leader looked back and forth, her eyes fell on the other side of the folded flag placed in the wooden box next to her several times, her fists clenched and unclenched, and she didn't take it out after all.
She couldn't make up her mind yet, she had to consider the whole tribe.
She gritted her teeth, turned around suddenly, and shouted to command.
A group of tribesmen ran to the waist-high sea water to greet the small boat, preventing the small boat from continuing to move, and throwing fish to the shore from here to save the small boat time.
Other tribesmen helped to pull the big tree, dragged it to a flat place, and worked hard to deal with the branches.
Some people built a fire to cook, and the children dug wild vegetables nearby.
"Go to work, why are you standing there? Do you really think you are a civil servant?" Ruan Jin turned his head and saw 20 officials in a daze, and he scolded them.
"You..."
"What? Do you believe that I will chop you up and feed you to the fish? If the Yu Lin Fei Qi kills someone, just report it back."
"We will be responsible for the secretary."
"Use you? Do you think I Yu Lin Fei Qi can't write? Hurry up, draw your sword."
"That's not what you said when you came out." The officials grumbled and took off their outer clothes to help.
"Everyone is naked on the boat, only you wear official uniforms. When they get rotten, what can you use to wash them?" Ruan Jin said contemptuously.
In fact, the official uniforms have already gone bad, and the officials were in a daze just now because they wanted to wash them.
Before getting off the boat, other people didn't wear clothes. They had experience and got used to it after being sunburned on the deck outside.
Wearing clothes is sun protection, and you can't wash them with fresh water, right?
Sweat a lot, there is a lot of salt on the clothes, and there are other dirt, fermentation, which is worse for the body.
It was like this the first time we went out. Once the route was explored, we could wear clothes on the way back and know where to get supplies.
"Li Dongzhu is a true patriot." Liu Tingguang didn't go to work, and he didn't need a laborer, so he praised Li Yi.
When going out to sea, to a strange island, the most feared thing is the communication problem. People are on guard against each other, and it's hard to exchange things.
As a result, his team arrived and had direct contact without any obstacles, all because Li Dongzhu was the first to go.
Ruan Jin touched his hair: "Go back and tell His Majesty that sailors who go out to sea shave their heads, because hair is a hindrance. If they don't go out to sea, it will slowly grow back. There are razors on the boat, so shave it."
"It's not good to be in contact with others with a bald head." Liu Tingguang didn't care about himself.
"Wear a hat. There is a lot of grass here, and there is straw. After getting on the boat, weave it to block the sun. It's uncomfortable to get exposed to the sun." Ruan Jin thought of a way.
"Try to pick as many wild vegetables as possible. There is a shortage of them at sea. I can't bear to eat canned food, and I'm afraid that the beans will be eaten up if I eat raw bean sprouts.
The things that Li Dongzhu gave me to get fresh water by sunlight are useful, and there is also saltpeter.
The rice wine stored in the barrel has not been drunk yet, but I insist on keeping it. Fortunately, the brothers make a lot of money."
Liu Tingguang talked about the key point, making money.
How can seafarers ensure morale and discipline? Money!
With money to bring a good life to their families, seafarers can overcome any difficulties.
Thinking about your parents, wife and children, eating delicious meat every day, what does it matter if life on the ship is a little bit hard?
"Aren't there dried vegetables and fruits? After this trip, you will know how to arrange your diet properly next time. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net"
Ruan Jin said that he was greedy and wanted to eat the wild vegetables that were dug out and piled there. He washed them and dipped them in sauce.
When it was getting dark, the big ship came back, and there was a mountain of fish on the deck.
The small boat ran over to meet them, one boat at a time.
The coconut juice was placed in a large barrel, and the coconut meat was soaked together. A shed was built on top to block the sun.
The sailors scooped it to drink. They didn't feel the vitamins, but the refreshing sweetness was there. Eating the coconut meat had a little milky taste.
Ruan Jin went to negotiate with the female leader and asked for coconuts, now green coconuts, to be loaded on the ship.
Then in the sunset, the Yulin Flying Cavalry and the people on the island competed in climbing coconut trees and hitting coconuts down.
Various cheers and cheers rang out, and the people of the Tang Dynasty ate wild vegetables vigorously.
The locals stared at the grilled fish. It was not easy for them to eat meat, especially when everyone ate meat.
Twenty officials changed their clothes. Their clothes were soaked in the wooden trough beside them. They were eating now. After eating, they washed themselves.
"Isn't it just sunburn? What's the big deal? From now on, I won't wear clothes."
The official who didn't want to wash clothes grumbled while eating. In his opinion, washing clothes shouldn't be done by oneself.
"What do you mean by washing clothes? It's just that people dislike it." The official on the left pursed his lips.
Just now, they were in contact with the locals. The clothes they wore smelled bad, and the children tried to stay away from them.
It was a great shame, and it was a loss of dignity for officials of the Tang Dynasty.
