Section 0839 Refusal to give credit
On these two monsters, Zhang Zhongjian said:
"Four days ago, at sea about eight hundred miles from here, my men encountered these two monsters. None of them are dead, they will still move, and no one intends to let go of each other depending on the posture, this is a decision to die together. It dragged back for two days before it died completely, and I heard the old fisherman over there tell me that this long-legged monster has been passed down from generation to generation to move under the surface of the water, and it is a hundred years before you can see it on the sea. ”
Zhang Zhongjian talked about the information he had gathered, and Qin Qiong and Li Daozong were listening very carefully.
But Liu Mu told someone to fetch his iron plate.
Qin Qiong and Li Daozong were still sighing for this giant beast, Liu Mu's iron plate was already hot, and they saw Liu Mu personally carrying a knife and came to the king squid, and slashed it down with all his strength.
This knife was only less than five inches deep.
Liu Mu said to himself: "That's enough, I'm definitely the first person among the code farmers in the new era to eat the king squid." ”
This thing Liu Mu believes that he is definitely the first person among the code farmers to eat it.
Throw the horizontal knife aside and change to the knife. Yanagi cut several paper-thin slices back to his iron plate, and the sound of sizzling came from the iron plate.
"It's so hard, it's so hard to bite." Yanagi complained about his teeth, and went to get a knife and cut it again.
"Pass the word, those who see it have a share, do it." Qin Qiong shouted, and the guards behind him took out the Mo knife and rushed forward.
The Tang Dynasty has seen this thing, and there is a hemostatic medicine called sea squid bone in the medical hall.
It's just so huge, it's really who sees it once.
Nearly 100 relatives and guards quickly divided the king squid into countless small pieces, leaving the finest meat, and the rest was sent to the mining area to improve the food of the miners.
The person who dealt with the whale Zhang Zhongjian had experience, and as early as the end of the Jin Dynasty, the Black Water Deer used whale oil to pay tribute to the Central Plains.
To Zhang Zhongjian's surprise, Liu Mu, a person who likes cleanliness so much, is interested in the smelly whale intestines.
"You guys, hurry up and carry these intestines to the rocks over there."
A huge whale several meters long, its intestines are very large, and after cutting it open, it can be left there, and the smell can float ten miles away, Qin Qiong ordered people to carry it farther away.
"Fifty big bucks per person, hahaha." Liu Mu laughed happily.
Liu Mu not only arranged for people to dry, but also sent people to guard it, and no one was allowed to steal even a small piece.
Sitting back at the wine table, Qin Qiong asked Liu Mu: "What's special about that fish intestine?" ”
"This is my gift to the Queen."
"Stinky poop?" Li Daozong was very suspicious that Liu Mu was not stupid.
Liu Mu lowered his voice and said: "Since ancient times, the whale that eats the king squid will turn the indigestible part of the king squid into a black or dark gray lump, which has been in the whale's intestines for a long time. There are two ways to get it. ”
"Let's start with what this thing is." Li Daozong knew that Liu Mu's knowledge was extremely extensive, so this must be a treasure.
Liu Mu stretched out three fingers: "Three words." ”
"What?" Qin Qiong, Zhang Zhongjian, and Li Daozong all came over.
"Dragon, saliva, incense."
"Ah......" Zhang Zhongjian stood up and shouted at his subordinates: "You guys, hurry up and bring those intestines back to the leader, you can't leave any scum." ”
"What, it's a gift from you." Liu Mu was in a hurry.
"Nonsense, what I sent is a monster, not counting the things in the monster's body, such a fist-sized piece is worth ten catties of gold, this is an extremely precious spice." Zhang Zhongjian said that he didn't want to give this thing to Liu Mu.
Liu Mu sighed slightly: "Say you don't understand, you really don't understand." ”
"Nonsense, you don't fool this leader. The third sister said that you can say that the sun rises in the west with one mouth, but I don't listen to you. ”
Li Daozong said slowly: "According to legend since ancient times, there were fishermen in the Han Dynasty who caught some gray-white fragrant wax blocks in the sea, and entered the palace, no one knew what this thing was, and a real person from Daomen explained that this was the saliva of the dragon stream. It seems that the truth is the same, isn't the giant whale the dragon in the sea? ”
"Well, I'll tell you the truth, it's useless to take it out of the intestines, this thing needs to be soaked in seawater for at least thirty years, turning into dark gray, gray, light gray, until it turns white is the real top grade, and it takes more than a hundred years to turn white. If you just take it out and soak it in the sea for three years, it will turn brown and barely workable. ”
"Really?" Zhang Zhong was half convinced.
"Seriously, most of the ambergris is spit out by sperm whales, and a small part is pulled out. There is also the sperm whale that disperses into the sea after it dies. ”
"Well, those who see it have a share." Zhang Zhongjian changed his words, he knew that if he pulled it all away like this, it would probably really stink at home, so he had to ask Liu Mu how to make this thing.
"In fact, it is very simple, build a small pond with flowing seawater, throw it into it, as long as it is living water every day, at most half a year, it must be ambergris, and after a year, it will begin to have a faint fragrance, three years from the beginning of the spice, thirty years from the beginning of the treasure, the longer the year, the higher the value."
Zhang Zhongjian shook his head: "It's not about asking this, you can pick it up there." ”
"Yes!" Liu Mu shook his head: "I won't tell you." ”
"I don't hear from you in vain." Zhang Zhongjian is ready to make an offer.
Liu Mu turned to Liu Renliang: "Third brother-in-law, there is a living ......"
This time, as soon as Liu Mu spoke, Liu Renliang's face changed, and he became ugly, and he got up and hugged his fists: "I still have some official business, and the silver ship will set sail early tomorrow morning, and I will go to the dock to check one or two." ”
"What are you running?" Zhang Zhongjian didn't understand it at all, this talk was about making a fortune, but Liu Renliang wanted to run.
Qin Qiong pulled Liu Renliang and motioned for Liu Renliang to sit down: "There are people on the dock side, your Beihai division is only responsible for leading the way, and they will do the escort themselves." If it's not your first time here, don't bother your fleet, it's okay today, sit down and drink. ”
Qin Qiong stopped, Liu Renliang was indeed not easy to leave.
After Liu Renliang sat down, he said: "I have hands and feet, and I also have official business. ”
The more Zhang Zhongjian listened, the more confused he became, he didn't understand what Liu Renliang meant by saying this suddenly, and looked at Qin Qiong, who also shook his head and said he didn't understand.
Only Li Daozong understood it.
"I see, this kid is disgusted. Disgusted wood was ready to give him some credit, he didn't plan to ask for it, he thought it was humiliating him. ”
Zhang Zhongjian laughed: "Take it, give it all the credit to Lao Tzu, I don't dislike it." Lao Tzu will definitely not be as stupid as this melon baby. ”
Liu Renliang lowered his head and darkened his face, looking unhappy.
