Daming One Piece

Chapter 69 Whale Oil (Second update, please recommend, please collect)
Nobody cuts up whales, at least not yet.

However, under the command of Shi Yiwen, dozens of natives and minions from the stockade took turns to dismantle this huge whale more than ten meters long into pieces of meat the size of a square table, the whale meat was as red as beef, The pink and tender fat was packed into hundreds of baskets.

As for the internal organs such as whale hearts, lungs, and stomachs, they were all put into baskets, and they even dragged hundreds of meters of intestines to the seashore with the help of seawater to clean them, braving a terrible stench.These viscera are also good things!

As for the bones, whalebone and the like, of course they are all packed.Baleen, this thing is only found in baleen whales, it is in the jaw of the whale, like a tooth, but the material is a huge horny sheet, flexible and not easy to break, hanging in the mouth, in the shape of a comb, used to filter out small particles in the water Shrimp, small fish, etc. are used as bait.

The toughness and elasticity of whalebone are very good, and it is famous for its hardness. In the 19th century, women's corsets were the kind of corsets that could make women breathless. Its brackets were processed from whalebone. .In addition, products such as umbrellas and mast stays that require extremely strong supports use baleen.Even if you don't need them now, you can always use them if you keep them.

Just as Shi Yiwen separated the parts of the whale according to their uses, someone suddenly shouted.

"Look, this, what is this?"

"It's the waist!"

"My God, this waist is getting bigger..."

"That's right, at least this kidney must weigh hundreds of catties!"

Most of the people in the village were men, especially in the salt field. When everyone heard that it was a kidney, and it weighed more than a hundred catties, they all gathered around in surprise, staring at the huge kidney.

"The kidney of a whale..."

Shi Yiwen also looked at it in surprise, that thing is said to be a great tonic!

"It's so big...it must be very sweet!"

Everyone had the same thought in their minds, and even some minions found a whip there...

Great supplements are very attractive to these people, but they are just looking at them eagerly. After all, everyone knows that such good things must not be their turn.

"This thing... put it away first!"

Shi Yiwen said loudly.

"When I look back, I might be able to sell it for a good price in the future. Whale kidneys and whale whips... are definitely more attractive than tiger kidneys and tiger whips. Those rich people definitely don't mind paying a lot of money for them. This thing... is a great supplement !"

Well, Shi Yiwen doesn't know whether it's mending or not, but since they believe that tiger penis is a great tonic, whale penis must be too...

It wasn't until near noon that the hilly whale was divided.In the end, there was only a bloodstain left on the beach. The main reason why we tossed for so long was because none of us had slaughtered this thing before, and we were all groping for it.In addition, the knives they use are not suitable for dividing whales. In the future, there will be special knives.

"Second Uncle, look at this, let's save a few thousand catties of meat and offal for everyone to eat, and then ship the rest back to the village. The meat can't be kept for a long time, let Ruyu share it with everyone. Once the stuff stinks, it's useless, I'll take a look at the leftover fat and cook it in a frying pan."

Distributing whale meat to other people can win people's hearts. Right now, for Shi Yiwen, the most useful thing is whale fat. Whale oil is refined from there. There are several tons of fat here. A fortune.

"Master Shi!"

Yang Tiansheng looked at the man in front of him and said with emotion.

"Ruyu is really lucky to marry you."

What is this whale meat?
It's the human heart!

Shi Yiwen distributes the whale meat to the people in the village, isn't it just for Ruyu to win people's hearts?
When those people took the whale meat, Ruyu gained more than just hearts.

what else?
prestige!

What prestige can a whale bring?
How can it not be convincing if one person can kill such a huge whale from the sea?There is not so much emphasis on the sea, morality, family background, these have nothing to do with them, the most convincing thing on the sea is the personal charm and courage of the captain. He can row a sampan to hunt whales. Who can compare with such courage? superior?After all, Chuan Hai itself relies on his ability to eat, without that kind of breath, I am afraid that he will not even be able to get out of the sea.

With such a person taking everyone to sea, how could everyone be worried?

Everyone is so practical.

Of course, it would be great if we could lead everyone to earn more money.

"What kind of luck or not, let's not talk about it for now."

Shi Yiwen laughed loudly.

"Old Yang, let me tell you, this whale meat is the least valuable thing. Even if all the whale meat is sold, it is not worth much? The real value is the whale oil! Let me tell you this You don’t understand either, how about this, greet some brothers, use the stove that Zheng Laosan left behind, and let’s directly refine oil on that stove. Don’t underestimate this whale oil, if it’s finished, it will be very valuable!”

Shi Yiwen doesn't want to talk so much with Yang Tiansheng anymore, so it's better to do it.

The matter of cooking whale oil is not complicated. Of course, if you follow the industrialized method of cooking whale oil, it must be a bit complicated, but at this time, it is just a simple method-just boil it in an iron pot, just like boiling a pig. Same as oil.

This job is simple, and there are not many people who can't live at home.

The large pieces of blubber were cut into fist-sized cubes with knives, washed with fresh water, and thrown directly into the iron pot. The earthen stove that used to boil salt became an oil stove.

In fact, the processing and utilization of whale oil in the 19th century already involved chemical processing. Such simple cooking only separated the whale oil, and what it provided was the simplest primary product—whale oil.It does not require any additives or treatments to make the best lamp oil.

For a long time, it has been the best lamp oil, and it has been deeply welcomed by people. In ancient China... this thing is a tribute.

During the process of boiling oil, the air is filled with a faint fragrance, which is the smell of meat and oil.Under the action of high temperature, the whale blubber has already begun to melt, which is no different from using fat pork to refine oil at home.

"My lord, is this oil really as good as you say?"

Looking at the head in the pot, Yang Tiansheng couldn't see any difference.

Facing Yang Tiansheng's doubts, Shi Yiwen just smiled and said confidently.

"Trust me, that's right!"

Looking at the fat that was constantly separating from the iron pan, he suddenly laughed.

"Bring a spoon and bowl over here!"

Shi Yiwen gave instructions without looking back, and soon, a spoon and a porcelain bowl were handed over.
