Chapter 565: The World Ceremony (戌)
Why?
The reason is that the most taboo in the ceremony is the convenience of people's size, so everyone who participates in the ceremony basically started fasting yesterday afternoon.
Lu Di, who was riding in the Qi No. 1 enlarged luxury version of the military vehicle, secretly took a few pieces of goat's milk from his sleeve and divided two pieces to Lu Qu, and then he couldn't help but say that he devoured it, and Lu Di was hungry that day.
You must know that Lu Di couldn't help but feces and pee at the ceremony in order to prevent the embarrassing scene of feces and urine, but he hasn't eaten since yesterday morning.
But how can a man do without eating?
As long as he felt a little low blood sugar, Lu Di immediately took goat milk cubes, so that he could hold on until now.
Zishui Port at sunset is overcrowded.
Those scholars who were not qualified to witness Lu Di's accession to the throne were all gathered near this small water port.
They helped the old and the young, and they all stared at the huge thing on the big raft that was about three zhang long and about one zhang high and two small.
The giant thing had already emitted a foul smell by this time, but no one stayed away, and people still crowded to stand in the nearest place to see it.
The giant thing is not something else, it is the whale that was caught by Lu Qu.
The plan offered by the prince of Ren Guo that day was that since the dragon fish could not be transported by land, then he would take the water route, so there was this scene in front of him.
There are also many small rafts next to the whales, and on those rafts are the soldiers of the East China Sea Battalion, whose role is to pull the big raft forward.
It took nearly 3,000 sergeants to rush to the waterway overnight, and finally arrived on the day of the enthronement ceremony, and the gang was exhausted, and now they were all sitting on rafts and resting.
Ren Guogongzi, oh no, it should be called a beaver now, he has been accompanying the big whale, touching its shark fin with his hand, like holding a lover's hand for a long time and refusing to let go.
Falcons and waterfowl hovered in the sky, and from time to time they wanted to fly down to peck at the flesh of the whales, and the soldiers who had taken over the task of guarding the whales drove them away.
People on both sides of the strait whispered everything about Arowana.
At that moment, a rumbling chariot came from behind them, and they looked back to see that it was their own king.
They all got out of the way, and Lu Di, who was riding in the military cart, smelled the stench of whales from a mile away, which made him feel very bad.
"Qu'er, you wait a while, follow me, don't get close to that whale again" Lu Di suddenly faced Lu Channel beside him.
Lu Qu was puzzled and scratched his head, and Lu Di explained in a language that was close to what this era could understand: "It's the end of summer, and the whale has been dead for so long, it already stinks, and if people get close, it is easy to be infected with evil qi and dead qi."
Lu Qu heard the "oh" and didn't say anything more.
Lu Di saw that Lu Qu was no longer speech, but his brows were furrowed, in his concept, if the eldest son heard his words, he should be worried about the life and death of those soldiers who had been watching and guarding the whales, but unexpectedly, he didn't have his son!
This made Lu Di faintly feel in his heart that this beloved son was a little lacking in kindness.
Lu Di hurriedly beckoned Bian Que to come over and gave him some instructions, Bian Que thought for a while, and then left.
"Qu'er, this whale is a good object, but it's a pity that you didn't dissect it on the spot when you hunted it," Lu Di said with some regret as she looked at the big black-skinned whale with fine fluff.
Lu Qu didn't understand what his father meant.
Lu Di didn't explain, he asked the kneeling soldiers on both sides of the river to get up, and then ordered all the sergeants who came into contact with the whales to assemble, go to the river to wash their bodies, and then put on new clothes, and the old clothes were burned on the spot.
Everyone thought that this was the meaning of "saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new", but they did not stop it.
At this time, only the beaver was left, still holding his big shark fin reluctantly.
Lu Di was very dissatisfied, and forced the sergeant to pull the beaver away, but the beaver did not go, Lu Di was furious, if it was winter, he would naturally not stop it, but now it is the end of summer, mosquitoes and flies are rampant, and whales are dead for so many days, if there is a plague, then I can't cry if I want to.
He immediately ordered the sergeant to cut off the whale's fins directly, and then he got the beaver away.
Lu Di ordered people to dig a pit in a wilderness not far away.
Lu Di didn't say how busy he was, but also said that the expressions of the envoys of the old and famous envoys who came to watch the ceremony after seeing the dragon fish.
Kong Qiu, Ji Zha, Lao Laizi, Toad, Yi Qiu, Shan Qi, Yan Qi, Lu Boyu, Wai Xiao He, Shen Tujia and others looked at each other, they were the first time they saw this legendary troll, with such a big mouth, so big eyes, so big nostrils, so big tail, and hair!
In coastal countries, such as the Three Kingdoms of Wu Yueyan, although the envoys and envoys had heard from some old fishermen that there were dragon fish monsters on the sea, they had never seen them with their own eyes, and now they were shocked when they saw the huge body of the dragon fish.
The crown prince of Chen Cai Erguo, when he saw the whale's huge mouth, was so frightened that he was about to pee, and the two hugged each other and cried.
After seeing the whale, the folding fan in his hand also forgot to hit, and the hunchbacked boy beside him, after seeing the whale, smelled the foul smell in the air, twisted his nose, and sighed: "Tiny human being!" ”
As for the envoys and envoys from the landlocked countries, such as the Song State, the Chu State, the Jin State, the Qin State, the Wei State, etc., they are all staring at the boss, this time they really have a long insight!
Zhao Yi even sighed: "If the Qin State is near the sea, where will people starve to death in a hungry year?" ”
Others, such as Yan Hui, Lie Yukou, Mo Zhai, Huqiu Zilin, Geng Sangchu and others also sighed with different expressions.
When Bian Que arrived with a large team of lime, the pit was almost dug, and Lu Di let the lime sprinkle on the bottom layer of the pit, and then ordered the butchers, who had already sharpened their knives, to go on the raft and start killing the whales.
Seeing that it was about to get dark, Lu Di ordered someone to light a fire and asked the butchers to work harder to peel the whale as soon as possible.
Due to the bloody scene of the slaughter of whales in the past, Lu Di asked Linzi to order the Huang to organize people to pull up the cloth curtains, so that people would not feel disgusted and frightened when watching it as much as possible.
Whales are full of treasures, not to mention fish skin, not to mention fish meat, not to mention fish bones, not to mention fish oil!
It's just that the whale has been dead for too long, and now the only thing that can be used for Lu Di is fish skin, fish oil and fish bones, fish skin can be used as inner armor, fish oil can be used as a simple version of soap, and fish bones can be made into specimens and pulled to the Daqi Museum for people to visit.
Everyone was busy until the second half of the night, when the whale was dissected, and Lu Di was afraid that the whale meat would be picked up and eaten by the scholars, so he poured all the dissected meat into the dug pit, and then sprinkled lime, covered it, and buried a monument to record the incident.
As for fish oil, Lu Di started an experiment on the spot, converted fish oil into a simple version of soap, and pulled it away.
Sen Sen's huge whale white bones, under the light of the moon, look particularly terrifying.
Lu Di asked the fish bones to be cleaned, pulled ashore, sprinkled some powder unique to this era to get rid of mosquitoes and flies, prepared to dry it, and then transported it to the Lixia School Palace after a while.
