() Du Fei felt angry and funny. He didn't expect that these seemingly strong sailors who were not afraid of hardship or tiredness and dared to fight rough waves and giant beasts of the deep were actually so fragile inside.
"Distribute all the whale meat to the cabin!" the old turtle shouted to the sailors.
Then he turned around and asked Du Fei in a low voice: "Save a small part for eating, pickle 30%, and refine the rest into whale oil. What do you think?"
"Very good, it's up to you! Oh, by the way, don't forget to bring me some whale soup and fried whale fin tips for dinner today!" Du Fei said as he yawned and walked into the captain's cabin.
Life at sea is more boring and boring than he imagined. He has to face the sea all day long, and there is always an inexplicable fear. The deep ocean seems to contain countless secrets and dangers, and the ship he is on may be destroyed at any time.
engulf.
At sea, the only fun for sailors is liquor, seafood and observing various fish. During his time at sea, Du Fei unknowingly got to know many fish that he had never heard of before. Sometimes he thought about the spiritual energy on land.
Spiritual beasts often appear in the place where life is gathered. The vitality in the vast sea is more powerful than any place on land. There must be countless spiritual beasts in it that are like ten thousand-year-old sea monsters?
However, since ancient times, rumors of encountering strange beasts at sea have always been very rare and can even be ignored. Even the few legends are incomplete.
Maybe the environment at sea is more dangerous, and it is more difficult for those who encounter spiritual beasts to escape... Du Fei thought while eating the fried whale fin tips on the plate. This dish was told to him by a southern official when he was the commander of the Jin Yiwei.
Yes, the ingredients are very particular. You must use the fin tips of the big whale to fry. After frying until golden brown, shrimps and sea vegetables are added for seasoning.
When Du Fei ate this dish for the first time, he was extremely surprised. He didn't expect this part of the whale to be so delicious! Unfortunately, a whale only has one pair of fins, and it is extremely difficult to preserve them, so even though he was expensive
The commander of the Jin Yiwei had only eaten a few times.
The fried fish fins this time were made by Feng Kui. Obviously he knew the preciousness of this material, so he paid special attention to it. Not only was the fried fish fins crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, but the amount of seasoning used was just right. Not only
Seasoned properly, it has not destroyed the original umami and chewiness of the whale fin.
Du Fei was so happy that he shook his head and immediately rewarded him with fifty taels of silver. Feng Kui took the silver with trembling hands and said, "I have saved my life from you, sir. I can't ask for these things!"
Suddenly, someone on the deck yelled: "Someone is coming! There is a ghost!"
Du Fei and others immediately dropped the chopsticks in their hands and ran quickly onto the deck. They saw a sailor covered in blood and said with difficulty: "Sir, there are ghosts and water ghosts!"
"What kind of water ghost?! Did someone steal whale oil?" The old turtle looked at the cabin that had been pried open and was furious: "Can the water ghost pry open the door? What did you see just now? Be honest!"
"I, I..." The sailor suddenly became short of breath! After hesitating for a few words, he fell down with his head tilted.
Du Fei leaned over to take a look, then stood up and said: "He's dead, poisoned!" After that, he turned the body over and saw that the sailor's belly had been slashed, and almost his internal organs were exposed.
Come on. At the edge of the wound on his stomach, people can clearly see something white.
"It seems to have been scratched by something sharp and poisonous." Zhang Zhi, who has a lot of research on various weapons, observed carefully and said: "But I have never seen such a big wound. If it was a weapon, then
This weapon must be huge. If the murderer is an outsider..."
He then looked at the calm sea: "There are no islands or boats around. He must have swum a long distance here. It is almost impossible to carry such a huge weapon!"
"That is to say, it is unlikely that the murderer is an outsider?" Old Turtle said vigilantly: "That means that someone among us is motivated by wealth and wants to steal whale oil?"
Du Fei shook his head and said: "I don't think it's like that. If he were one of our own people, he would be investigated if something happened. No one would be so stupid. Besides, even if he was one of our own people, he could have stolen the whale oil and put it away."
Where? Doesn’t it still have to be put on the boat? There are no islands or ships around now, so what’s the use of stealing it now?”
"Since they are not one of our own, it is impossible for outsiders to steal things and escape under such circumstances. Could it be that -? There are really water ghosts?" Zhang Xiong's face turned pale.
"The water ghost is a bit evil, but it's entirely possible that something strange is causing trouble!" Du Fei's eyes suddenly became serious. He looked at the sparkling sea, his eyes looking deep and fierce: "No matter what
Who is he? If he dares to make any plans over my head, he will be dead!"
