In this era, catching whales is a rare event, so Jin Feng will naturally not forget Guan Xiaorou and others.
After returning from the No. 1 dock, Jin Feng made a special trip home and called Guan Xiaorou. He also sent someone to call Tang Xiaobei, Zuo Feifei, Qianxun Qing, Mulan Mancang and others who were busy outside.
When everyone learned that the fishing team had caught a super big fish that was bigger than the boat, they all put down their work and returned to the dock to gather with Jin Feng to watch the fun together.
By the time Jin Feng led everyone to the beach, it was already evening.
"Sir, you're back!"
Zheng Chiyuan pointed to the sea in the distance and said.
Jin Feng squinted his eyes and saw several smoke pillars on the sea.
Picking up the binoculars and looking down the smoke column, he saw the speedboats escorting the fleet and the first fishing brigade.
Nearly a hundred fishing boats operating together is quite spectacular.
The white sails are like trees, pushing the fishing boats back with full loads.
Several speedboats have long ropes at the tail, dragging two black figures in the sea.
The black smoke and white steam emitted by all the speedboats were much thicker than usual, indicating that the steam engines were operating at full capacity.
"Oh my god, is that the sea? It's really bigger than a boat!"
Guan Xiaorou put down the telescope, her eyes filled with shock.
The bodies of the two whales were indeed longer than the navy's warships. If they had not been shot and killed, let alone several speedboats, even if the Jinchuan was brought over, it would be impossible to drag them.
Qing Mulan clicked her tongue a few times and asked, "Sir, are all the fish in the sea this big?"
Even the well-informed Tang Xiaobei and Bei Qianxun, who never cared about other things, turned to look at Jin Feng.
"How is that possible?" Jin Feng said: "Whales are the largest of all animals known in the world, and even whales are divided into many types, and not all of them are so big!"
"Then what kind is this one?" Qing Mulan asked again.
"I don't know either," Jin Feng shook his head honestly.
Almost all his knowledge of whales came from "Animal World", and it was so fragmentary that he couldn't even identify which species the two whales the fishing team were hunting were.
Qing Mulan saw that Jin Feng didn't know either, so she stopped asking questions and raised her telescope again, aiming it at the sea.
At this time, the fleet was still several miles away, and it was so shocking to see it. As the fleet got closer and closer, more and more refugees were noticed.
Even fishermen on the beach rarely see whales once a day, let alone refugees who have fled from other places.
As the news spread, more and more refugees became aware of it.
It was just in time for dinner. Many refugees went to the canteen to get a steamed bun and hurried to the beach.
When the fleet docked, dense crowds of people had gathered on the beach.
"My God, this fish is too big!"
"Is this still a fish? This is a small island!"
"The fishing team is so awesome, they can catch such a big fish!"

"Such a big fish can feed our entire factory for several days, right?"
"Are you a fool? If we move this fish to the shore, we probably won't be able to fit it in our workshop! It's all meat! Think about it, if we all eat the meat in a workshop, how many days can we finish it?"
“I can’t finish it, I can’t finish it at all!”
"Hahaha, it seems that we will not be short of meat in the future!"
"It's as if the Imperial Master won't let you eat meat now. Since you went to work in the dock, you haven't had a meat dish at noon that day?"
"Old Tiantou, I just said it casually, why are you still talking about the Imperial Master?"
The commoner who had just spoken suddenly became unwilling: "Go to the factory and ask if I asked the cook to give me less meat during the meal?"
Although the people of this era were illiterate, they were extremely simple and grateful.
Jin Feng and Tang Xiaobei not only took them in, but also gave them a job that was enough to support their family. So now Jin Feng's prestige among the refugees is very high. Who dares to say anything about Jin Feng or Tang Xiaobei, Zuo Feifei and others?
If you say bad things, I guarantee that refugees will jump out and scold him immediately!
The refugees are now doing very heavy physical work. In order to ensure that they get enough nutrition, Jin Feng requires all factory canteens to serve a meat dish every day.
Under the propaganda of the song and dance troupe and the factory clerk, all the refugees knew that the current situation in Dakang was not good. Jin Feng made a lot of efforts to build a dock in the East China Sea and gave them a job.
Many refugees are worried that they will eat too much, impoverishing Jin Feng and Tang Xiaobei, and causing the factory to close down.
At that time, no one will care about them, they will have no place to go, and no one to rely on.
So when eating, he would stop eating when he was half full. When preparing dishes, in order to relieve Jin Feng some of the burden, he would also remind the cook to prepare less meat.
When Jin Feng heard the news, he was moved but also dumbfounded.
Well now, the fishing team drove the fishing boat they built and caught a super big fish as big as a hill. They can finally eat meat with confidence.
The whale was so big that it was still dozens of meters away from the coast. The underwater part hit the bottom and ran aground. No matter how hard the workers on the speedboat added coal and blew air to drive the steam engine, they could no longer move it.
Jin Feng heard the whistle from the boiler pressure relief valve on the dock, and quickly asked someone to wave a flag to signal the speedboat to untie the rope.
Just kidding, if the boiler explodes if it continues to burn, the matter will be serious.
Jin Feng felt relieved when he saw that the black smoke and white steam emitted by the speedboat had become smaller.
Turning to look at Zheng Chiyuan, he explained: "Let the fishing boat dock first and unload the other fish. As for the whales, get two cranes over and take advantage of the high tide to use the cranes to drag them as far as possible to the shore. Wait until night
When the tide goes out, let the carpenter come over with a saw and cut it into pieces before transporting them up."
"Yes!" Zheng Chiyuan took the lead in agreeing, and then flattered him: "I was worried about how to get these two big guys up, but sir, I hope you can do something about it!"
The tide in the East China Sea is about noon and ebbs at midnight.
At this time, when the tide was high, the fishing boats lined up and successfully entered the No. 3 dock.
Qing Mulan, who was in charge of the dock, immediately returned to the dock and asked people to beat gongs and wave flags on the observation deck.
This was a signal to summon refugee workers. The refugees who were watching the excitement on the beach turned around and ran towards the dock.
The fishing team returned home with a full load this time, and almost all the fish loaded on the fishing boats reached their load limit.
Not only the workers on the night shift were called in to unload the fish, but also the workers on the day shift came to help.
Even so, they were busy until late at night before all the catches from the 90 boats were transported to the shore.
In the open space on the shore, all kinds of catches are piled up like mountains, glowing with white light in the night. The fishermen and refugees are sitting next to the catches, wiping their sweat while looking at Yushan and giggling. They can't get enough of it.
