Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Origin of Thanksgiving
When the two boats returned full of sambar deer, they could go ashore directly from the wooden pier. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After smashing the wooden stakes in the past two days, Wan Shida led the miscellaneous soldiers to build a wooden trestle bridge, and the head of the bridge stretched into the river ten meters away.
At this moment, the smaller sea vessels can immediately lift and unload the materials directly, and no longer use small boats to carry the goods.
Wanshida had to go on to other work at this time.
He ordered those who were originally there to continue to strengthen and widen to achieve a situation of application and construction at the same time.
The result of their work was that the largest sea vessels could drop their cargo directly here.
Wang Defa's two small boats were still smaller, and the people on the pier could only lift the sambar deer on the wooden trestle with boom pulleys, and they were responsible for tying them up below.
At this time, Wan Shida squatted on the trestle, smoking a cigarette, like the Great Song people who were temporarily fine on the dock, looking at the sambar deer lifted up and being happy, these deer were so fat.
He shouted, "Fa Tsai, do you observe how many resources that sambar deer have?!" ”
Wang Defa happily replied: "Don't worry, it's more than we imagined in advance!" While the sambar is not familiar with humans, I will fight more tomorrow! ”
Obviously, meat was preferred to fish, and everyone was happy, and they knew that there must be their share of them.
Wang Defa smelled a strong fishy smell at this time, and said, "It seems that they have a lot of fish......
"Come up and take a look, damn it, I didn't expect there to be so many fish in the river, probably no one has ever fished them......"
The freshwater fish at the mouth of the Badao River are very abundant.
Captain Cai Erlang and his sailors casually hit a few nets, all of which were full of harvest, and they finally simply adopted the purse seine method, and the efficiency was immediately improved, far exceeding the requirements of Wu Dapeng City.
But in fact, the people of the Great Song Dynasty prefer to eat sea fish, and after they completed this task, they went to sea together.
The area where the freshwater river meets the seawater has many species of plankton, so there are many kinds of fish, so it is a good place for fishing.
After they lifted the last sambar deer, Wang Defa went ashore.
At this time, he saw a large number of river fish, all of which were spread on the ground with reeds.
More than a hundred people were there to deal with it quickly, and the fire had been burning for so long that there were still flies, constantly flying around the fish pile, and the gang kept bombarding, constantly speeding up the processing of fish.
The internal organs of the fish should not be lost in vain, and after digging a pit and pouring it out, the land can be fertilized at that time, of course, it must be far away from here, and the smell is very bad.
Wang Dewan waved his hand and said, "Gu Jianshan and Zhang Depei stay, and the others will go up to help......"
A large group of half-sized children went to help, and they would be able to deal with the catch, and it would not work to clean up the sambar deer.
Wang Defa called out to a few Great Song people, built a wooden shelf, and hung the sambar bar directly.
It turned out that the chef of the Great Song Dynasty could handle sambar deer better than him!
This can't be blamed on Wang Defa, in that world, sambar deer is a national second-class protected animal, and it will be illegal to eat it, in this world, sambar deer is an ordinary meat food.
Well, Wang Defa was so happy, he wanted to educate those two boys, good friends, and he wanted to do it when he was arguing!
The criticism and education of them did not end until they were about to have dinner, and the two were sincerely convinced, and under the command of Wang Defa, they shook hands with each other and hugged each other, and they couldn't stand the great truth of Wang Defa's family.
Dinner is made with the traditional cooking method of the Great Song Dynasty, and the sauce is stewed with mixed river fish!
But one more thing, stewed venison pieces and unloaded!
For a long time, these two foods were eaten on the last day of February.
Later, they designated March 1 as Thanksgiving Day to thank the development of the estuary area.
Later, this festival became popular all over the world, and on this day, it is necessary to eat braised river fish and stewed venison pieces.
Of course, some countries and regions may have different practices, but the ingredients are the same.
Culture has always flowed from strong to weak.
More on that later.
They also brought some components of the board house, so they first built ten large wooden houses, because they were afraid of getting damp in the rainy season, so they used the stilted design before.
Those components are all processed by the carpenters in the armory, and their craftsmanship is okay, and the size can be guaranteed.
The bottom of the prefabricated house is about half a meter high from the ground, which can be ventilated and protected from moisture.
These ten large wooden houses were all handed over to the kitchen head Qiao Shiro to manage.
In this way, the so-called canteen has its own building.
Of course, it can't accommodate everyone to eat at the same time for a while, and it's still the old way, come here to eat, and go wherever you like to eat.
If we talk about artificial buildings, they are not the first ones.
The first ones were latrines and barns.
More than 3,000 people going to the toilet is a big problem.
If this is not managed well, the place that has just been disinfected by fire may be polluted by itself.
Zhang Guoan led people to build ten aqua toilets according to the scope of the area, all of which were ten squatting positions.
There are also some palace maids and maids, and Zhang Guoan specially asked people to repair a small one for them.
Of course, all aqua toilets will smell, but Zhang Guoan explained: "It doesn't matter, after surviving for a while, we have the ability to repair the water flushing type, and at that time, these aqua toilets happened to be directly filled with manure, which can be used for farming." ”
Well, everyone endures and opens up a new world, maybe it is never easy and freehand.
Livestock is now a strategic resource, whether it's horses or donkeys, mules and cattle, it's all cared for, and even veterinarians are staffed.
Therefore, their settlements were built before human settlements.
A large amount of river sand helped them to resurface the ground, and the freshly cut timber was used here in addition to the trestle.
More than 30 large animals soon moved into oversized houses, still with roofs.
Everything is going according to plan, and for the time being, things are going well.
However, something sad happened.
When a Song Dynasty miscellaneous soldier was cutting down trees, he was stoned to death by a tree that was only the thickness of the mouth of a bowl, and was directly hit in the head.
Two Japanese peasants and three black East Africans were killed by wildfires.
On the shore, it is good to say that the air flow from the ocean to the mainland is relatively stable.
When you get to the inland places, you start to be in danger.
These five people went a little deeper, and they were all surrounded by the fire of the dragon, and none of them escaped.
In less than three days, six of them died, and the space-time smugglers were not happy.
The supreme leader of this large group of people, Lord Yin Di Anguo City Bo Wu Dapeng sighed and said: "There are always accidents, as long as they don't happen on a regular basis...... They can die unexpectedly even elsewhere. ”
What else can his friends say, it's a big truth.
But don't let that happen.
Wu Dapeng summoned twenty heads, the captain of the Japanese reclamation team, Mihara Shiro, and the interpreter of the black East African, who could only listen to the words of the Great Song Dynasty, but could not speak.
Wu Dapeng Shibo has now changed into an official uniform, which looks more formal.
He emphasized the importance of safe production and put forward several requirements for paying attention to safety.
I don't know if there is any effect, but the next day, two Song people who couldn't stop diarrhea appeared.
When I asked, I found out that I had eaten wild fruits!
Damn, I've said it many times, you can't easily eat wild fruits, and mushrooms or something! Gluttonous and sinful!!
As for the disease, of course, they have arrangements, and when they first arrived here, they specially set aside a boat to be used as a medical security ship, equipped with a doctor of Da Song, and the main herbs were also available.
Grass ash is a good fertilizer and the first raw material for them to extract nitrate.
However, for this piece of raw land, the fertility is still not enough.
According to the prior plan, Wanshida had to go to sea for another trip, and twenty sailors would be enough.
They had to dig struvite on the surrounding islands.
Historically, Liuqiu Island has been an abundance of struvite islands, including Cotton Island, Maoyu Island, Caoyu Island, Taiping Island and Dongsha Island, as it is an excellent stopover for migratory birds, especially white-bellied boobies
On the uninhabited islands around this area, there were originally struvite stones, but when the Japanese invaded the area, it took a few years for them to be lightened.
Struvite is the best natural slow-release fertilizer in the farmland, and it is also one of the best materials for extracting elemental phosphorus or processing phosphate.
However, Wanshida's trip to sea this time was an element of luck, because in the information of that world, only a few islands were mentioned to have this kind of material.
But he believed that even the nearest islands must have them.
He chose the first stop on the island of Xiaoliuqiu.
Of course, in the plan, they not only want struvite stones, but also stop by to see how difficult it is to develop Xiaoliuqiu, if it is larger than the estuary area, it will be put on hold for the time being, and if the conditions are good, they can use it as the main production area of potatoes, sweet potatoes and peanuts.
The requirements of the industry are the most important, and this will be their lime production base.
Koryukyu Island is actually the Ryukyu Island of the world, and from the perspective of latitude and longitude, the straight-line distance is only more than 20 nautical miles, and it is only a matter of half a day to set off from the sea.
Therefore, when Wanshida himself led a medium-sized sea ship to set off, everyone did not take it seriously.
In fact, it's really simple.
They went out of the estuary in the early hours of the morning, taking advantage of the northeast monsoon, and arrived before one o'clock in the afternoon.
Their landing site was chosen in the northeastern part of the island of Oryukou.
Originally, this was the world's main safe haven, and it was built on the basis of good natural conditions.
Among the surrounding areas of Ruguki Island, Oruqiu Island is the only coral island surrounded by a large number of reefs that outreach the sea.
As they sailed, Wanstar asked them to lower their sails and to be extra careful.
But fortunately, the water here is so clear that it is outrageously clear, and standing on the bow of the boat, you can see the depth of more than ten meters at a glance.
In that sea water, you can see that it is densely packed with marine fish!
The captain of the ship shouted happily: "O gods, most of the mullets are here...... I've only heard of this thing in a place where I am squirming, but I don't know it's here......"
Wan Shida smiled silently, and said in his heart, there are many places you don't know, come with me.
The mullet elder is more than a ruler, his son is full of belly, fat yellow and delicious, Wu Yue people think it is a good product, as early as the Tang Dynasty is a tribute.
Of course, you can buy it at a good price in the private sector, and of course other fishermen will not easily tell others about the fishing grounds here.
This place will also serve as a processing base for their fishery products.
The captain was interested in mullet, and Wanshida was excited about a large lobster that was slowly swimming between the crevices of the reef.
It's like watching lobsters in a display pool in a high-end seafood restaurant.
He judged that this one was at least half a meter long from end to end, and there were not many reefs around it, and it could be at most three meters deep.
He was confident that if he stabbed it down, he could capture it!
