Daming One Piece

Chapter 68 Full of Treasures (First update, please recommend, please collect)
What a big fish!

When the big fish like a hill was dragged onto the beach by everyone, everyone was dumbfounded.

Not to mention those minions, even Shi Yiwen himself was taken aback by such a huge whale!
This whale is really big!
It is more than ten meters long, so it must be dozens of tons.

"Master Shi, this whale is really big!"

Yang Tiansheng exclaimed.

"Catch such a big whale, are you okay!"

"It's okay, I'm fine, this fish...it's really not small..."

Although he felt a little tired, his heart was filled with a certain kind of special emotion. He felt extremely excited and very comfortable. Perhaps it was the most primitive violent gene of human beings!Such emotions are natural after capturing such a large prey.

"Master Shi, it's really not easy to catch such a big whale. You must be tired. Take a rest quickly. Don't worry, no one will touch your fish. I'll keep an eye on it for you!"

Yang Tiansheng took the initiative to say.

"It's okay, it's okay, I have a lot of use for this whale, it's very valuable after cleaning up, and I can't kill it casually... I can't explain it for a while!"

For Chinese people in this era, whales are nothing more than food. This whale weighs at least a dozen or twenty tons. It is enough meat to feed thousands of people for a few days, but what is the use of just eating?

Whale meat has always been the least valuable thing on a whale. In the era of whaling, whale meat would even be thrown into the sea.But except for the whale meat, the whale is full of treasures. Even in this era, it is still a treasure.

"What? Is there a big use for it?"

Yang Tiansheng looked at the big whale suspiciously.

What else do whales do other than eat meat?

The usefulness of that has naturally increased.

Otherwise, European and American whaling ships, especially the United States, hunt whaling all over the world, and even Americans regard whaling as a "national pillar industry". The whaling industry used to be the fifth largest industry in the United States!
For many people, they only know that era, when whalers hunted whales for whale oil, which is the oil extracted from whale fat.At that time, oil lamps were used for lighting, but turpentine had a lot of black smoke and was too dirty; cod oil was too smelly to burn;So whale oil is the most popular lighting oil.Among the whale oils, the most high-grade is the sperm whale oil.At that time, there was an advertisement for sperm whale oil in the newspaper: it gave off a soft light when it was lit, and it gave off a sweet smell when it was extinguished.

But it is industry that needs whale oil more—whale oil is a viscous liquid similar to honey. It is not only the best lamp oil, but also a very high-grade industrial lubricant, which will not change under high temperatures of several hundred degrees. It will not solidify even if it is diluted. In the era of the industrial revolution, the spindles on the textile machines, as large as the iron and steel machinery, cannot do without the moisturization of lubricants, and whale oil is the best choice.

Until the 20s, whale oil was the best lubricant and was widely used in various industries.Even until the 70st century, humans still have not found a substitute for lubricants that can match or surpass whale oil, and many precision instruments are still inseparable from whale oil lubricants.

In contrast, whale meat is just an ordinary meat, but it is also unusual. Unlike fish, whale meat does not have any fishy smell, and looks very similar to the usual beef. In this era of famine everywhere, it can be eaten When it comes to whale meat, I don’t know how many people can be saved!As for whale offal such as whale intestines and whale hearts, they are also good meat.Just like after World War II, Japan was short of supplies, and beef and mutton became the high-quality goods that can only be eaten in dreams, and whale meat and dolphin meat became the main products of meat.At the peak, 47% of the meat eaten by the Japanese was dolphin meat.It can be said that it was the marine ranch that fed tens of millions of Japanese and allowed them to survive the post-war famine.

Whale meat may seem worthless, but in this era, where hungry people are everywhere... well, it is very important.

"Look, this whale can produce at least tens of thousands of catties of meat, enough for us to eat for a month or two..."

As Shi Yiwen said, he walked up to the whale, looked at the giant whale, and said.

"Okay, now let's fuck and peel this whale first, and cut off the outer layer of fat..."

Shi Yiwen will divide the whale?

Will be a fart!
But he has seen some scenes in the documentary.

Let's paint a tiger like a cat!
If you can't kill well, you can't kill badly.

Besides, what did these pirates do in the past?Killing chickens, sheep, and pigs has always been done. Although it is not professional, it is still possible to divide and dismember a whale.

Following his instructions, everyone climbed onto the whale and cut it with knives.

"Be careful, don't damage the leather, it's a good leather!"

Shi Yiwen shouted loudly.

"This leather is too thick! It's a full inch and a half thick..."

"It's okay if it's thick. If it's thick, it can be cut into several layers, and it can be cut into dozens of layers!"

Not to mention such a thick whale, even cowhide, isn't it also cut into some kind of top layer and second layer of skin.

When ordering everyone to cut the whale, Shi Yiwen walked up to the root of the whale and touched it carefully. Only then did he discover that there was a layer of short fluff on the surface of the whale skin.

"Uncle Yang, look at this kind of leather. As long as it is processed a little, it will definitely be very warm to wear. It can be used for making clothes and shoes, and it is better than cowhide and sheepskin. In short, cowhide and sheepskin can make things Whale skin can do it, and the performance is even better.”

This is not an exaggeration. Whale fur coats were always the best fur coats in the 19th and 20th centuries. They were water-resistant and cold-proof, and were always popular in the market. The best diving suits in that era were made of whale skin.Of course, what is more important is that the whale skin is big enough. A large adult whale is more than ten meters long and weighs more than ten tons. The peeled skin is enough to produce the hide of hundreds of cows. It is four to five centimeters thick, and it is quite normal to cut a dozen or twenty layers.

"This, this can also be made into leather goods..."

Yang Tiansheng was surprised.

"Yes, but we won't!"

"Let's dry the nitrate first, we won't, we can find someone to do it, and recruit a group of people who can make leather from the north. If it is done well in this sea, in the future, whaling alone will make us eat and drink. ..."

As soon as the words fell, Shi Yiwen shouted at those people again.

"Be gentle and separate the meat from the fat. I will use that fat!"
