Liu Jin looked at the behemoth in front of him, thinking about how to maximize its value. As for the melon-eaters in the port, they were also looking forward to it, waiting to dismember the big whale and see if they could. Buy some whale meat and take it home to try it.
"Everyone, make way, everyone, make way, we are going to dismember the whale soon. If you want to buy whale meat, whale skin, whale oil, etc., don't be in a hurry."
Soon, the steward of Tianjin Port came to the port terminal with a group of butchers. Some of these butchers killed pigs, cows, and sheep. Each of them brought his own meal, and there were also people carrying them. Huge chopping boards.
"Haha, I, Liu Yidao, am also lucky. I actually have the opportunity to kill such a big fish. I will miss it in the future."
A tall butcher took over a bone-cutting knife from his apprentice's hand. This bone-cutting knife was curved, one meter long, and extremely sharp. It was used by Butcher Liu to cut cattle.
Although the killing of cows was prohibited in the Ming Dynasty. In the early Ming Dynasty, these cows were more valuable than people. But now in the middle Ming Dynasty, these cows have been reproduced from generation to generation and their numbers are already large. Although they are still not allowed to be slaughtered at will, as long as they find a If you report the reason to the government, you can still slaughter a small amount.
Butcher Liu is the most famous cattle butcher in Tianjin. The bone-cutting knife in his hand is even more famous. It is said that it can cut a cow in half with one knife. Of course, Butcher Liu's meat-cutting skills are also very accurate. You can cut as much as you want, and it will be accurate with just one cut, hence Liu Yidao's nickname.
"Liu Yidao, can your bone-cutting knife cut open this big whale with one blow?"
An acquaintance said to Liu Yidao with a smile.
"Let alone one sword, even a hundred or a thousand swords can't cut it open."
Liu Yidao smiled and replied.
"Haha, you also have times to be humble~"
"How can this be immodest~"
With the arrival of more than a dozen butchers, preparations for the dismemberment of the whale began. The entire Tianjin port became more lively. More and more people received the news. Everyone came to watch the excitement and wanted to see what was needed. How big was the whale that was dismembered by more than a dozen butchers at the same time?
"Everyone give way, everyone give way~"
Liu Yidao said to the people watching the excitement around him. When everyone made way for a small space, Liu Yidao took off his shirt and went bare-chested, revealing his strong muscles.
Then he held the bone-cutting knife in his hand and began to move his body continuously. This was a tough battle, and he had to be prepared for a protracted battle.
"Wine~"
Liu Yidao shouted, and his apprentice immediately brought a porcelain bowl of wine. Liu Yidao drank the wine from the large porcelain bowl into his mouth, then raised his bone-cutting knife and sprayed the wine on it.
This is called a sacrificial knife, and it is the same as when an executioner performs an execution. It has the meaning of exorcism, because it is said that this drink can exorcise evil spirits and avoid taboos. If you spray it on the knife, you will not have any unclean things to bother you.
Liu Yidao used to kill cattle. These cattle were very spiritual and they were all farm cattle. They worked hard for the people, so they had a very high status. But slaughtering cattle was not something that could be done casually. There was also a lot of preparation before slaughtering. Ritual.
Everyone on the sidelines watched with gusto, and even Liu Jin was full of interest. The ancients had various taboos in many aspects. They asked gods to ask Buddha about anything they did, or performed some strange activities. Ceremony or something.
"Okay~"
Soon, Liu Yidao¡¯s ceremony was completed. He was considered a representative of Tianjin¡¯s butchers, so naturally he was the first to make the first cut.
¡°I saw him circle around the huge whale twice, and kept tapping on the whale with his hands, as if he was looking for a place to strike.
¡°It¡¯s right here~¡±
Liu Yidao pointed to a location in the belly of the whale, then motioned for the people behind him to step back, and soon a large open space was left beside him.
Everyone¡¯s attention was now focused on Liu Yidao, and everyone was waiting for his next move.
"Open~"
Liu Yidao took a few steps back, his eyes widened, and he rushed towards the whale. The bone-cutting knife in his hand instantly flashed with a cold light, and at the same time, he shouted loudly.
"Wow~"
It was like the sound of a piece of back cloth being cut. This knife directly cut open the whale's belly, but it did not damage the fish's internal organs, so that no dirt would come out and make the surrounding area smell bad.
"Okay~"
 Watch each other.
"This meat is indeed very good, just like beef, and the key is that it doesn't have any fishy smell, which is very rare."
"This beef is a rare item. It seems that I can eat more whale meat in the future."
"How do you sell this whale meat? I'm going to buy some and go back and taste it."
In the port, everyone took turns passing around a piece of whale meat, taking a closer look and smelling it. Some people even cut off a small piece and ate it raw, which naturally led to some comments.
¡°Come, come, here¡¯s the fresh whale meat, it¡¯s only five cents a pound, cut it into as many pieces as you want~¡±
Soon, the port steward started shouting.
"Give me ten pounds and try something new~"
"I want five pounds~to taste the taste of this whale meat~"
As soon as the words fell, a large number of people started shouting, and there was a rush of activity. Soon, the large piece of whale meat that had just been cut off was sold out.
But soon, another large piece of whale meat was cut off and sold on a quick chopping board.
"A pair of whale baleen~"
Whale meat and whale oil are sold in full swing here. On the other side, Liu Yidao and other butchers continue to dismember whales, cutting off long baleen pieces.
Naturally, whale baleen caused a fierce competition. Everyone seems to love baleen and other things, and it seems to have collectible value. This whale baleen actually sold for more than ten taels of silver. .
The Tianjin port is very lively, with people lining up to buy whale meat.
This whale is really huge and has a lot of meat. Whale meat, which costs five cents per pound, is very popular, and many people buy it.
Not only ordinary people want to buy some and have a taste, but also the merchants of this fish shop have spotted the business opportunities here, making large purchases, buying hundreds or thousands of kilograms. He was also immediately sent to the capital. There must be countless dignitaries here in the capital who are willing to pay a high price to taste this giant beast in the sea.
Similarly, many seafood restaurants in Beijing and Tianjin naturally have to buy some. Whale meat appeared for the first time, so it was necessary to develop several signature dishes related to whales.
More than a dozen butchers were sweating profusely from their work, and the people at the port were also very interested in watching.
It took more than an hour for the meat, whale meat, fish skin, etc. of this huge whale to be preliminarily cut, and a huge fish skeleton was initially exposed, which made everyone present couldn't help but repeat it again. He widened his eyes, they were so big that the butcher standing next to the whale looked very small.
"A whale tongue~Old rule, the one with the highest price gets it~"
When the whale's huge tongue is cut off, each tongue is very heavy and requires several strong men to lift it to the chopping board.
Tongue, whether it is pig tongue, beef tongue, duck tongue, etc., has always been synonymous with fine cuisine. This whale's tongue naturally caused a fierce battle, and was finally used by a restaurant owner for 200 taels of silver. Bought it back at a high price.
"Haha, this whale is actually a male whale. Look, this whale is so scary~"
When the whale¡¯s tail was dismembered, Liu Yidao seemed to have discovered something, and soon he was busy cutting off the whale¡¯s offspring.
¡°Bang~¡±
Several strong men struggled to lift it onto the chopping board, which immediately stunned the crowd watching. Such a huge treasure had never been seen before. Some women in the port blushed and couldn't bear it. He couldn't help covering his eyes with his hands, but he looked curiously between his fingers.
"I will pay five hundred taels of silver~"
Before the port manager opened his mouth, someone immediately made a bid~
"I will pay you six hundred taels of silver~"
"I will pay eight hundred taels of silver~"
Hearing that the number was rising, Liu Jin couldn't recognize it and was stunned. What's so strange about this thing?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
Of course Liu Jin didn't understand this. Even though he was born in two generations, he really couldn't understand what the use of this thing was, and why it was so popular. However, Liu Jin was still very happy listening to their constant quotations. The higher the price, the greater the value of the whale. In the future, more people will hunt whales, and the whale industry will prosper. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
