Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 705

This primitive jungle in South America is indeed very dangerous, and there are too many deadly things in it.

However, fatality is only relative to ordinary people. If you use a large army and think of a way, these dangers can still be resolved.

Since Taichang intends to build this area into a super big city, of course all these dangerous factors must be eliminated, especially those things in the water.

If it is not resolved, there will be problems with the water source in the city, and the super big city will become a super big joke.

The problem is that electric eels, piranhas, and parasitic fish are all quite troublesome. It seems that there is no solution in the future.

At least not in Taichang's impression.

How to do it?

Are these things really unsolvable?
All the tribal chiefs had dispersed, but Taichang was still sitting there meditating.

He thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be nets specially used to catch eels on the large fishing boats.

As long as the electric eel is pulled out and out of the water, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with.

There are also piranhas and parasitic fish, which are all things in the water. The old fishermen along the coast of Daming may also have a solution.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said with interest: "Baiyun, do you want to eat delicious fish?"

what?
Zhao Baiyun was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then nodded again and again: "Think, think."

She knew that the emperor didn't want to take her to eat fish, but wanted to take her to eat fish with Concubine Su.

Taichang really thought so, because the little girl was about the same age as Concubine Su, and they were very close, so he often took the little girl back to accompany Concubine Su.

Near noon, more than forty large fishing boats returned to the port one after another.

Seeing this, the soldiers who had been busy all morning on the pier stopped their work one after another, then lined up in a row, boarded the fishing boat in an orderly manner, and returned to the camp to cook after collecting enough catches.

At this time, the old fishermen on the big fishing boats raised the fish baskets that had already been piled up, and sent their catches to the pier where the Emperor was docked.

These are all the good things they carefully selected, specially given to the emperor.

Of course, Taichang must not be able to eat so much. Even if a fishing boat sends a basket, it is more than forty baskets. Even if each basket is only a hundred catties, it is nearly five thousand catties. Not just one basket.

At this time, the imperial cooks would usually come down to carefully select according to the instructions of Taichang or the empresses, pick out a few fish or some shrimps and cook them for the emperor's family, and leave the rest for the accompanying Jin Yiwei. , eunuchs and maids eat.

However, this time, several royal chefs were waiting on the pier early. Not only did they bring a few empty baskets to pick out the catch, but they also communicated with the fishermen of each fishing boat and asked them to send a fisherman with the most experience. The old man went to the place where Jin Yiwei lived on the first floor and waited, because the emperor still had something to ask them.

Not long after, more than forty veteran fishermen boarded the boat one after another, and the imperial chef who had finished picking the catch also got on the boat and went to work.

Taichang also ordered people to recruit Zhang Yuanfang, Ma Xianglin and other leading generals, as well as Li Shuchu, Li Shuben brothers and several staff generals.

Obviously, he wanted to feast his officials again.

This kind of thing is common to everyone, because Taichang often invites everyone to get together, taste delicious food, and chat about the progress of various aspects at the same time.

It's just that this time he summoned a bit too many people, just the old fishermen on the fishing boat, he summoned more than forty people, plus the accompanying civil servants and generals, concubines, princes and princesses, almost a hundred people up.

All the old fishermen were a little confused.

It's not that they didn't have dinner with the emperor, but they were all on the fishing boat, and each time there were only one or two people eating with the emperor's family, but this time there were several big tables bustling with each other.

To be honest, they were a little confused.

They used to sit at a table with the emperor's family for dinner in private, and they didn't feel anything wrong, because they were used to it.

When there are too many people, they will feel a little uncomfortable.

After Taichang kindly greeted everyone to sit down, a team of maids began to serve the dishes.

At the moment they are in the Amazon River Basin, so what they eat is naturally the river fresh here.

There are actually quite a lot of delicacies in the Amazon River, probably because it is too far away from China, and few Chinese people come here, so the food here is not very famous.

At least no one has made the river seafood here into a particularly famous delicacy.

Now that the Daming Royal Chef is here, it is naturally different.

Their cooking skills are not so high, and the ingredients here are not so good. I believe that it will not take long for many famous dishes to spread here.

To say that the most cherished delicacy in the Amazon River is peacock bass.

Peacock perch, also known as Emperor Sanjian, is the king of perch, the most delicious one.

The fresh peacock bass is cut into slices, then placed in the shape of a peacock with its tail open, and then steamed with a secret sauce. It is really delicious in color, fragrance and taste.

There is also the unique giant bone fish here, which is quite large in size and tastes quite good.

Generally, the giant bone fish will be more than three feet long when it grows up, and it will weigh at least a hundred catties. Take the fattest part of it, cut it into pieces, and braise it in brown sauce. It is also a rare delicacy.

In addition, there are one-foot-long meaty shrimp, crystal clear purple shrimp and so on.

In short, there are many kinds of fish and shrimp here, and there are many delicious ones.

The reason why these things are not well-known in later generations should be that they did not choose the best method according to the quality of the meat.

Maybe, the people here are either roasting or cooking.

It would be a bit wasteful to do so. Many fish and shrimp are actually not very tasty when boiled. Grilled fish and shrimp also score varieties, and some fish and shrimp are not delicious when grilled.

Of course, these ingredients are different in the hands of Daming's imperial chef, because they can choose the best method according to the quality of the meat.

In short, the things made by the imperial chef are not ordinary delicious, and the aroma alone can make people salivate.

Taichang seemed to be in high spirits, and he specially ordered someone to take out the tribute wine he brought over to drink with everyone.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Taichang greeted him again, and then he took the wine glass to the two tables where the old fishermen gathered, raised his glass and said: "Everyone has worked hard, come, I will toast everyone again."

Oh, the emperor is too polite.

A group of old fishermen quickly got up to thank them, and then raised their glasses and took a deep breath.

Taichang raised his hand again and ordered everyone to sit down, and then sat at the table where no one dared to sit, and then he said kindly as if chatting: "You are all veterans, you should be good at catching eels."

If you didn't drink, naturally no one would dare to brag in front of the emperor.

However, drinking alcohol is different.

As soon as he finished speaking, an old fisherman who was drinking a little bit red-faced said without hesitation: "The eel looks fierce, as long as you pinch its neck, it will be honest and easy to catch."

Taichang nodded slightly, and asked again: "If you can't catch it with your hands, it is rumored that there is a kind of eel here, whoever dares to catch it will feel like being struck by lightning, and instantly fall to the ground stiff."

This kind of thing is really scary, but the old fisherman didn't care about it and said: "If you can't handle it, use the clip. Once you get down with the clip, even the fierce eel will be honest."

The other old fishermen nodded repeatedly when they heard the words, to show their approval.

Hey, these people seem to know how to use clips.

What kind of clip is it? It's so powerful.

Taichang couldn't help asking curiously: "What kind of clip are you talking about?"

All the old fishermen looked at me, I looked at you, they didn't know how to describe it.

They were stunned for a while, and the old fisherman, who was drinking red-faced, suddenly had an idea, dipped some wine, and introduced while drawing on the table: "Your Majesty, this kind of eel clip is actually very simple, it is about two yuan and three feet long." Add a large rivet with riveting scissors in the middle of the bamboo slices.

The back two feet of this bamboo piece are bare, equivalent to the two handles of scissors, while the front foot has two rows of sharp teeth.

Just open the mouth of the scissors in front and clip it down, no matter what kind of eel it is, it won't be able to move. "

It turned out to be such a thing.

This is indeed no problem at all for clamping electric eels.

Taichang nodded in satisfaction, and then asked: "They said that there is a kind of fish in this river. It has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and it only eats meat. If you accidentally get surrounded by fish, you will be eaten soon." There are only bones left, is there a way to clean this fish?"

This is also simple!

An old fisherman said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, this kind of fish usually doesn't see blood, and it will frantically rush over when it smells blood. We can use the liver and lungs of big guys such as cattle and sheep as bait to lure the fish to relatively narrow rivers." Duan, and then go to Juehu.com, and put a bag around it on both sides, and neither of them can escape.”

This trick is really powerful!
I believe that as long as the cleaning is repeated several times, the piranhas in the water will definitely be cleaned up.

Taichang couldn't help nodding, praised him, and then asked: "There is another kind of fish, which is said to be less than an inch long. The body of the fish is so small that it can penetrate into the flesh and blood vessels. It is painful. Is there a way to get rid of this kind of fish?"

What is this.

An old fisherman hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the so-called big fish eat small fish. Since this fish is less than an inch long, we will catch more fish of one to two inches and throw them into the river where they often appear. I believe it will not take long. All the fish were eaten."

Uh, how long is this?

If you let the fish eat, those parasitic fish will run away!

Taichang asked again: "Some of this may run away. Is there any faster and better way?"

Another old fisherman hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, if you want to clean up this kind of fish, you can use quicklime. Once you find this kind of small fish in a section of the river, you can use cotton cloth vertical stones to block the two ends, and then plunge down to the bottom. Quicklime, boil the river water, cook all the big and small fish in it, they will never escape.”

Well, sure enough, the masters are among the folks, and these troublesome problems are not a problem at all in front of experienced veterans!
