The deck of the Odin is busy as the hunting boat drags an iceberg of ice covered giant animals to the position where the fleet was.
Under the command of the sailors, the slaves worked together to deal with the small white trout caught.
The first step is hammerfish.
It''s not a fish that looks like a hammer, it''s a fish that is hammered with a big hammer.
Several slaves untied the metal fishing net and took out small white trout from it. Then several other slaves swung big hammers and smashed them on the head. There was a dull sound of "bang bang" on the deck.
Most of the time, once the slaves hammered down, there would be a pit on the head of the fish. The lively and lovely little white trout immediately calmed down, either killed or knocked unconscious.
A few times, the slaves would miss, such as hitting the fish with a hammer, or landing on the deck. The former is nothing, but it''s a big deal to do it again. If it is the latter, although it can''t damage the deck, it will certainly attract the sailor''s rebuke.
The reason for this kind of strange and ridiculous behavior is not because the slaves are idle, nor because they have a serious tendency to violence, but because - security.
Do you know how strong the struggling power of this kind of "small" sea fish, which is only one meter long?
They are just like taking drugs. They can hop a few times from time to time. Relying on the strength of their tail muscles, they can jump up to nearly 2 meters. They have to press the head and tail of the fish to hold them down.
If any unfortunate person is accidentally slapped by a fishtail, he is likely to be injured. In case of being slapped in the head, it is not impossible to be directly knocked out.
Therefore, for safety reasons, hammerfish is an essential step.
The second step is to kill the fish.
In this step, the slaves used the assembly line working mode, and each small white trout would go through five processes, including "cutting head", "cutting tail", "Scaling", "opening" and "removing internal organs".
The process of killing fish consumed the most manpower. Most of the slaves were arranged at the scene of killing fish, forming eight assembly lines. Everyone squatted on the deck and cut the little white trout with a knife. The scene was very lively.
The third step is cleaning.
This step involves sailors, because magic pumps are used for cleaning.
These slaves have just been bought by the sea tide leader, so it''s no problem to do physical work, but it''s impossible to expect them to learn how to operate magic devices immediately.
After the pump is activated, the NIMA hose will draw the sea water up. After flowing through the pump, it will spray out from the hose at the other end to clean the blood and all kinds of dirt on the fish.
Interestingly, the slaves in charge of cleaning all had a high enthusiasm for work. Compared with the slaves in charge of other processes, they were conscientious.
Without anyone''s supervision, they will finish their work with high quality and make the fish clean.
What really motivates them is the NIMA hose that can spray water automatically.
In the eyes of the slaves, this pipe was so magical that they could see it straight when they first saw it.
When the sailor gave a simple demonstration of the cleaning method and handed the hose to a slave, the guy held the hose carefully like a rare treasure, and his thin face was full of tension.
When the guy saw the strong current from the hose in his hand, which washed away the large blood stains on the fish, he couldn''t close his mouth with a smile. The other slaves looked at the hose in his hand with envy.
For slaves, this is not work, it is a rare entertainment.
This hose that can spray water is so funny!
the speechless woodlouse of the slaves, the seaman who saw the face was speechless, and filled with the sense of superiority. As a "senior" woodlouse who had already played with the hose, he naturally had enough courage to despise this group of "junior" woodlouse.
Human nature is so wonderful that the sailor has long forgotten that just a few months ago, he himself worshipped the black hose and regarded playing with it as the greatest pleasure in his life.
After the fish was repeatedly washed for three times, the slaves carried the fish to more than a dozen large wooden barrels, immersed them in wooden barrels filled with saturated salt water, soaked them for 20 minutes, then picked them up, put them into wooden baskets, and sent them to a cabin under the second deck.
Finally, the fourth step is drying.
The cabin had been temporarily converted into a drying room, which was filled with wooden frames, on which the slaves placed pieces of fish as required by the sailors.
When all the wooden frames were full, the sailors started the dryer, which was a magic machine composed of a thermal magic heater and an exhaust fan. The hot warm air came out from the air outlet and heated the temperature of the drying room to more than 80 degrees.
Here is the "energy saving drying" mode.
The so-called "energy saving" means that the hot air discharged from the drying room will be cooled to room temperature through a heat recovery device, and then discharged outside the ship.The recovered heat energy is transformed into thermal magic energy, which is transmitted to thermal magic heater through magic silver wire to achieve the purpose of reuse.
According to chief mate Ludford''s plan, all the small white trout will be dried into hard "salted dried fish".
This is also necessary. There is no icehouse on the sailboat. How can we keep it if we don''t make it into dried salted fish?
Do you expect the Lord to make ice? If so, who serves whom? What do you think of your Lord?
In the next round trip, the fleet will return to the tidal islands as soon as possible, and will not stop fishing. Therefore, this is the first and only fishing trip of the fleet.
During the 10 day long voyage, slaves will also be shrouded in the shadow of salted fish, live a life full of salted fish, and deeply realize what is "a life full of salted fish flavor".
*
not all fish catches will be made into dried salted fish like stone. The red Marlin weighing more than 8 tons will go directly into the kitchen and become the lunch of the whole ship.
As the number one fish in this fishing, the decomposition process of the red pike was handled by the sailors. This scene naturally attracted everyone''s attention. Even captain Elon came to watch with interest, and the slaves working on one side looked at it frequently.
Of course, the first mate, who had been tortured by slaves once, would never be allowed to come near this time.
The decomposition work was personally presided over by Lu Defu. This guy went to the front of the fish head and waved the magic saw while giving orders.
"Edmondo, there''s a big bucket of saltpeter in the warehouse. You should take people to make ice quickly. All the ingredients I specially told you must be preserved with ice at the first time to ensure their freshness as far as possible..."
"Other ingredients don''t need ice. After cleaning, just send them to the kitchen..."
After hearing the chief officer''s explanation, a bald sailor nodded repeatedly.
"Gregory, you use the magic saw best. You''ll cut off the fish head with me later. Be careful when cutting. Don''t damage the integrity of the fish head..."
At this point, Ludford looked to edmondo.
"Edmondo, please remember that fish head is a special food. Your Lord may need it. It must be chilled..."
Edmondo began to peck rice again.
"Freck, you are the best skier. You can peel off the skin on the back of the red pike. Be careful and don''t damage it. It''s also the food that the Lord may need..."
"You don''t care about other positions. I''ll let others peel them..."
"Edmondo, it''s also a special food. It''s also iced..."
A very stout sailor laughed and said in a loud voice:
"boss, believe my craft. If the skin of the fish is slightly damaged, I will run naked twice on the deck..."
Freck''s words caused a burst of laughter, and the atmosphere on the deck became cheerful.
Ludford laughed and scolded, and continued to explain:
"Robinson, you come to cut the ribs of the fish, and remember to choose the tenderest part of the belly of the red pike. The Lord likes this very much..."
"Devolet, you can prepare the back meat. The meat in the middle and back part of the back is the best. Cut the fish there. The Lord likes to use the back meat when he rinses fish fillets..."
……
"Morrison, you cut a piece of fishtail. I don''t know which part of the fishtail is the best. You can choose for yourself. Although we don''t know if the Lord needs it, we''d better prepare one first..."
Ludford said seven or eight instructions at a time, almost all the best parts of the red marlin.
Then he roared:
"let''s go!"
A group of sailors responded with a bang and surrounded them with various tools.
Ludford''s orders are full of the word "possible".
What does "possibly" mean?
It means that the LORD did not give orders directly. It was Ludford''s guess.
What''s more, they are all well-documented guesses.
Ludford remembers all the parts of the fish that the LORD had commented on or cooked in the past, so when he gave the order, he did it all at once without any stumbling.
He didn''t know whether the Lord could really cook these ingredients, so he didn''t care about the three, seven and twenty-one, so he left them first.
It''s his business, Lord. It''s always right to keep it in advance.
Several slaves who were close to him clearly heard a series of orders from Ludford. Although the terms "ridge" and "rib row" were incomprehensible, they fully understood the meaning behind these words and deeply sighed for them.
It turns out that this is the noble''s life, nothing to do, everything is prepared for them, and is also the best.
It''s really enviable
Until a huge white spot appeared on the sea in the distance, the attention of the slaves left the scene of the red pike decomposition.
