Chapter 382: The life of salted fish and the life of

When the hunting boat was dragging an iceberg with giant beasts, and heading towards the place where the fleet was, the deck of the Odin was very busy.

Under the command of the sailors, the slaves worked together to deal with the catch of the small white trout.

The first step is to hammer fish.

It is not a fish that looks like a hammer, but a big iron hammer to "hammer" the fish.

Several slaves untied the metal fishing nets and pulled out small white trouts. Then several other slaves smashed large hammers and slammed them violently on the fish's head. There was a continuous "popping" muffled sound on the deck.

Most of the time, as soon as the slaves were hammered down, a pit appeared on the fish's head. The original lively and lovely little white trout immediately calmed down, either being hammered to death or being hammered into a coma.

A few times, slaves would miss their hands, such as hitting a fish with a hammer, or landing on the deck. The former is nothing but a big deal. If it is the latter, although the deck is not damaged, it will definitely attract the reprimand from the sailor. .

The reason for this weird and ridiculous behavior was not because the slaves were so idle, nor because they had a serious tendency to violence, but because of safety.

Do you know how powerful this kind of "small" marine fish that is "only" one metre long has to struggle?

They are like knocking medicine, jumping a few times from time to time, relying on the strength of the tail muscles, they can jump up to nearly 2 meters high. Two people must hold the fish head and tail respectively to hold them.

If a hapless guy is accidentally caught by the tail of the fish, he is likely to be injured. If he is caught in the head, it is not impossible to be stunned directly.

Therefore, for safety reasons, hammering fish is an essential step.

The second step is to kill the fish.

In this step, the slaves adopted an assembly line working mode. Each small white trout would go through five processes: "head cutting", "tail cutting", "scraping", "opening", and "removing internal organs".

The fish-killing process consumes the most manpower. Most of the slaves are arranged at the fish-killing scene, forming 8 assembly lines. Everyone squats on the deck and uses a knife to cut off the white trout. The scene is very lively. Up.

The third step is cleaning.

This step involves the participation of sailors, because the magic pump is needed for cleaning.

These slaves have just been bought by Hai Chao, and there is no problem with doing physical work, but it is simply a fantasy to expect them to learn the operation of magic equipment immediately.

After the water pump is activated, the Nima hose draws up seawater, and after it flows through the water pump, it sprays out from the hose at the other end to wash away the blood and various dirt on the fish.

What's interesting is that the slaves responsible for cleaning, without exception, have a high degree of enthusiasm for work. Compared with the slaves responsible for other processes, they can be regarded as conscientious.

Without the supervision of anyone, they will complete their work with high quality and clean the fish.

What really inspires their enthusiasm is the Nima hose that "automatically sprays water".

In the eyes of the slaves, this endlessly sprayed pipe was so amazing. When they saw this scene for the first time, their eyes were straight.

When the sailor briefly demonstrated the cleaning method and handed the hose to a slave, this guy was holding the hose cautiously, with tension on his thin face like he was holding a rare treasure.

When this guy saw the strong water jet from the hose in his hand, washing away the large blood stains on the fish, he instantly laughed from ear to ear, and the other slaves looked at the hose in his hand with envy.

For the slaves, where is work, it is simply a kind of rare entertainment.

This hose that can spray water is really fun!

The performance of the slaves' muddy turtles, the sailor who looked to the side was speechless, and also filled his heart with a sense of superiority. As a "senior" turtle who has been playing with rubber hoses, he naturally has enough confidence to despise this group." Junior" soil turtle.

Human nature is so wonderful, this sailor has long forgotten, just a few months ago, he himself had worshipped this black hose, and regarded "playing the pipe" as the greatest pleasure in life.

After the fish was repeatedly washed three times, the slaves carried the fish to a dozen large wooden barrels, immersed it in a wooden barrel filled with saturated salt water, soaked it for 20 minutes, then picked it up, put it in a wooden basket, and sent it to the first A cabin under the second deck.

The last step is the fourth step-drying.

This cabin has been temporarily converted into a drying room, which is filled with wooden racks. The slaves placed pieces of fish on the wooden racks according to the requirements of the sailors.

When all the wooden racks were filled, the sailors started the dryer, which was a magic machine composed of a thermal heater and an exhaust fan. Hot warm air was sprayed from the air outlet to heat the temperature of the drying room to Above 80 degrees.

Here is the "energy-saving drying" mode.

The so-called "energy saving" means that the hot air discharged from the drying chamber will be cooled to room temperature through a heat recovery device, and then discharged outside the ship.

The recovered heat energy is converted into thermal magic energy, which is transmitted to the thermal magic heater through the magic silver wire to achieve the purpose of reuse.

According to First Mate Lutherford's plan, all small white trout will be dried into hard "dried salted fish".

This is also necessary. There is no ice storage on the sailing boat. How to preserve it without making salted fish?

Do you expect Lord Lord to make ice? If you do, who will serve whom? What do you think of Lord Lord?

On the next return journey, the fleet will travel day and night, returning to the tide islands as soon as possible, and will not stop to fish again, so this is the first and only fishing in the fleet's journey.

During the 10-day voyage, the slaves will also be shrouded in the shadow of dried salted fish, living a life full of dried salted fish, and deeply appreciate what is "a life full of salted fish."

Not all the fish caught will be made into stone-like dried salted fish. The red marlin weighing more than 8 tons will go directly into the kitchen and become the lunch for the whole ship.

As the number one fish caught this time, the decomposition process of the red marlin was handled by the sailors. This scene naturally attracted everyone's attention. Even the captain Elon also came to watch with gusto, and the slaves working on the side even more Is frequently looking here.

Of course, the first mate who had been scammed by slaves once would never allow them to approach this time.

The decomposition work was presided over by Rutherford himself. The servant walked to the front of the fish's head, waving the magic saw and giving orders.

"Edmundo, there is a big bucket of saltpeter in the warehouse. You quickly take someone to make ice. All the ingredients that I have specifically explained must be preserved with ice cubes as soon as possible to ensure that they are as fresh as possible..."

"Other ingredients don't need ice cubes to store. After washing, they can be sent to the kitchen..."

After hearing the explanation from the first officer, a bald sailor nodded repeatedly.

"Gregory, you use the magic saw best. You will cut the fish head with me later. Be careful when cutting, and be careful not to destroy the integrity of the fish head..."

Having said that, Lutherford looked at Edmundo on the side.

"Edmundo, please remember that fish head is a special ingredient. Lord Lord may need it. It must be iced..."

Edmundo started pecking rice again.

"Flake, your skinning technique is the best. Come and peel off the skin on the back of the red marlin spine. Be careful not to show any damage. This is also the ingredient that Lord Lord may need..."

"You don't need to take care of other positions, I will let others to strip..."

"Edmundo, the spine skin is also a special ingredient, so it must be chilled..."

An unusually sturdy sailor laughed "hehe" and said loudly:

"Boss, trust my craftsmanship. If the skin of the fish shows a little damage, I will run naked on the deck twice..."

Flake's words caused a burst of laughter, and the atmosphere on the deck became cheerful.

Lu Defu let out a smile and continued to explain:

"Robinson, you come to cut the fish ribs. Remember to choose the tenderest part of the red marlin belly. Lord Lord likes this very much..."

"Devolette, you prepare the spine. The middle and back sections of the spine have the best meat quality. Cut the fish there. Lord Lord loves to use the spine when he cooks the fish fillets..."

...

"Morrison, you cut a piece of fish tail meat. I don't know which part of the fish tail has the best meat quality. You can pick it yourself. Although you don't know if Lord Lord needs it, let's prepare a piece first..."

Lutherford said 7 or 8 instructions in one breath, and almost swept the best parts of the red marlin.

Then he yelled:

"start!"

A group of sailors responded with a bang, and surrounded them with various tools.

The word "possible" is filled throughout Ruderford's orders.

What does "may" mean?

Its meaning is that Lord Lord has not directly given orders, and all this is Rutherford's guess.

Moreover, all are well-documented guesses.

The body parts of the fish that the Lord Lord had commented on or cooked in the past, Lutherford, the servant, remembered clearly, so when he gave the order, he did it in one go without any stumbling.

He didn't know whether Lord Lord would really cook these ingredients, so he didn't care about the three or seventy-one, and left them for the first time.

It's his business whether the Lord Lord is or not, it's always right to keep it in advance.

Several slaves who were closer, heard a series of orders from Ruderford clearly. Although terms such as "loin" and "rib" are understandable, they fully understand the meaning behind these words. , I also deeply sigh for it.

It turns out that this is the life of a nobleman, there is nothing to do, everything is prepared for them, and it is the best.

It's really enviable...

It continued until a huge white spot appeared on the sea in the distance, and the attention of these slaves left the scene of the decomposition of the red marlin.
