"Why does this whale taste so ape-like?"

Tables and bowls had already been placed on the deck. Seeing a whale being killed for the first time, Li Jia couldn't wait to taste the legendary whale meat.

The whale that was finally killed took a day's work to disentangle its limbs one by one. The planned trip to Danzhou in the afternoon was delayed.

Li Jia refused to be dissuaded and quickly started to taste the whale meat. However, after taking one bite, he was shocked by the huge fishy smell. A lot of spices had been added to it, but he still couldn't stop the fishy smell that penetrated people's hearts.

taste.

Not only that, the whale meat was just like old beef, very hard and old, and a little greasy, which was completely beyond his expectation.

"I have read so many novels, and news about Japanese eating whales often appears on TV. It turns out that they are all lies!" Li Jia was very angry at this time. This is a kind of deception that transcends time and space.

Whales often eat small fish, so the meat of the whale itself is very fishy, ​​and the larger the whale, the thicker the fiber, so although there is a lot of meat, it is more unpalatable.

"Although it's a little hard, it's still delicious!" The sailor on the side said with his cheeks bulging and chewing, looking very happy.

"That's right. How can a carnivore like me, who eats fine grains and tender meat, understand the hardships of ordinary people!" Li Jia thought for a while and couldn't help but laugh. He became the despicable person of carnivores.

Ordinary people can't even have three meals a day, let alone meat. Some meat is already considered very good, so how can we care about its tenderness or age?

Whales are full of treasures, not to mention the huge fish meat. I don’t know how many people can be fed. The extracted fat can not only be used as a seasoning and nutritional supplement, but also has excellent flammability and is a weapon in sea battles.

.

It can also be sold as candles, which are very expensive.

Whale baleen is slender and tough. Whether used as a rope or a bow string, it is an excellent material and very rare.

Fish skin is strong, durable and soft in texture, and can be used as leather armor.

Bones can be used as arrows or crushed as fertilizer.

Not to mention, the coveted Long Yanxiang is even more expensive, but Li Jia’s whale does not have it.

From this whale of about 80 tons, 40 tons of meat, more than ten tons of fat, and countless other materials, including bones and skeletons, were used completely.

"Nowadays, the reason why soldiers have a huge appetite and consume several kilograms of rice every day is because they lack oil and water in their stomachs. If more whale oil can be used, I think in a few weeks, nearly half of the food and grass can be saved!" Li Jia thought.

Thinking silently.

In ancient times, when marching and fighting, before the soldiers and horses moved, food and grass went first. The amount of food and grass often determined the outcome of the war, such as the Battle of Guandu.

And if we use the same food and grass to support the army for more time, wouldn't we have a huge advantage?

What's more, in ancient battles, the personal strength of soldiers was very important. If most of the soldiers were physically stronger than the enemy, even a mediocre general would be able to win.

At this moment, Li Jia made up his mind that no matter how many pigs he raised, they would not be as profitable as whaling. Even if future generations of animal associations pointed their fingers at him and scolded him, he would continue.

The next day, after eating whale meat, drinking fish soup, and laden with whale meat, the sailors started to move in high spirits. They were full of energy and needed no urging.

Danzhou City.

After yesterday's consumption, hundreds of corpses have piled up under the city wall, and the moat has already been filled. Blood has soaked the land, showing black and red. The stubborn flowers and plants are absorbing nutrients wantonly. This land will definitely be more fertile next year.

exuberant.

Even though yesterday's morale was unexpectedly dampened, early this morning, the officials had already buried pots for cooking. With the tribe as the center, smoke rose in groups of three to five, making final preparations for the upcoming general attack.

The originally damaged and short city wall was already crumbling, and several large gaps had been exposed. If it had not been filled in time, it would have been captured yesterday.

"Your Majesty, it's hard to hold on today, brothers, I can't hold on any longer!" Li Wei looked tired, his eyes were red, his arm had been stabbed and dyed red, and his voice seemed to be trembling a little.

"Hold on. As a magistrate, you have the responsibility to defend your territory!" Li Gao looked at the wisps of smoke, licked his chapped lips, and said firmly:

"While holding on for a while, let the households in the city evacuate first, otherwise Danzhou will be a sea of ​​​​blood when the Liao soldiers break through the city!"

"On behalf of the elders of Danzhou, I would like to thank you for your kindness!" Zhou Biejia bowed tremblingly and said with great emotion.

"Why, Li Gao is in a bad position to defend his land. He should be sorry for his fellow villagers!" Li Gao forced a smile and said in apology.

For a time, in order to protect their wives and children from evacuating, although the city walls were covered with broken limbs and arms, everyone was in high spirits.

After saying a few encouraging words, Li Gao excused himself to urinate and left the city wall:

"Quickly, change clothes with me, just sit there and don't say anything!" Li Gao found a guy who was about 60 or 70% similar to himself and wiped dust on his face. Then Li Gao breathed a sigh of relief.

"The next step is up to you!" Li Gao felt quite emotional for a moment.

"Don't worry, we have found a trail and we will definitely protect you and your family and evacuate Danzhou City safely!" Li Wei patted his chest and said seriously.

This is Lang Jun's elder brother. If there is any loss, Lang Jun will not spare himself.

"How's it going? Did they agree?" Huang Shan, the state Sima in Huang Mansion, was eating deer breast leisurely and asked relaxedly.

"Now, this envoy has detained someone with a strong sense of rejection. I heard that he is planning to evacuate the entire city!"

"What? If we evacuate those Han people, how will we feed those Liao people!" Hearing this, Huang Sima was startled, with a look of horror on his face.

Although he was well received by his colleagues, the capture of Danzhou this time was too important. If he did not feed them with the best things, he would definitely be held accountable, and the gift he prepared was the entire people of Danzhou.

"Quick, send someone to stop the Han people from leaving, and pass the news to the officials outside the city!"

"You go and gather the servants, and when the city is under attack, open the city gate. You can't sit back and watch anymore!"

Yesterday, it was the time of fierce battle between the two armies, and his relationship with the Danzhou Army was eliminated again, making it difficult to find an opportunity.

But today, after going through a lot of setbacks, you can only reap the best fruits when you open the city gate. If you get it too easily, how can you show your value?
