Gan Ning took a look and said, "I don't think it looks like it."
Zhang Fei on the side picked it with his eight-foot-long snake spear, and then expressed his opinion: "I think it might be hairtail."
Gan Ning shook his head: "Maybe it's the saw."
Pang Tong took a look at Li Mingda's soul painting album and made some text comparisons: "Maybe it's a swordfish. Look at what the lord wrote, it has long fins on its back, a slender body, and a sharp sword-like tip in the front of its mouth. The taste is It's excellent. It can be stir-fried, fried, wrapped in egg, flour, and bread crumbs, and fried until it's golden. Children will cry and make noises when they see it..." Pang Tong doesn't want to read the rest. They are all cooking methods, not so much the ocean. Fish identification is better said to be a recipe”
Actually, it’s not to blame Li Mingda. He and Murong Xue discussed the writing together, and in the end it turned into a recipe.
After confirming that the swordfish was called swordfish, Gan Ning waved his hand and said, "Young men, kill this swordfish and keep the skin and bones as a souvenir. The rest will be roasted and eaten."
"Oh oh oh"
A group of soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet cheered, and several soldiers took the swordfish away and slaughtered it, and the internal organs continued to be used for fishing.
I don’t know how rich the products have been for thousands of years. It won’t take long for new sea fish to bite the hook.
All kinds of fish that they had never seen before appeared one after another, and the most difficult thing for Pang Tong, Gan Ning, and Zhang Fei to do was to identify their species names based on the recipes that Li Mingda suspected of being in the marine life illustrated book.
By the end, it was getting harder and harder.
Pang Tong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Why don't you give up? I'll draw a portrait later and send it to Chang'an City for my lord to identify."
Gan Ning and Zhang Fei nodded in agreement with this idea.
"This is a good idea"
"I, Zhang, think so too."
The three looked at each other and smiled and reached a consensus.
Next is the time to slaughter and cook these fish. Due to the large amount of internal organs, a lot of sharks are also attracted.
Regarding the description of the shark, Li Mingda's description was still very accurate, and with the shark skin scabbard that was also used now, Gan Ning and others quickly recognized it.
Gan Ning glanced at the scabbard of his Golden Bell Water Dividing Knife. The handle of the knife was staring at the group of sharks circling the ship with eyes full of affection: "Sharks, what a good thing. The skin can be used as a scabbard. It's absolutely top quality." "
Zhang Fei also wiped his saliva: "Lao Gan, give him a hardcore."
Gan Ning shook his head: "No, the small steel cannon will break if hit. Just use the crossbow on our ship and tie it with a rope."
Pang Tong: "With a few more crossbows, one rope may not be able to hold up."
Gan Ning: "Okay, you guys will copy the guy, catch it and share it with us."

Shark skin, as anyone who has been soaking in the water for many years knows, is not cheap. Even if it can only be used as a scabbard, it will cost more than ten dollars.
I have made a lot of money before the war started. If I am lucky enough to survive, I will be a rich man when I go home. I can buy a few acres of good land, marry a little wife, have two children, or provide income for my family. Order extra money.
Gan Ning asked the soldiers to tie the rope to the ship's crossbow. He was shirtless and had bulging muscles. With the dark and loud trumpet, he twisted the winch round and round. As the winch rotated, Several steel springs inside compress back.
The steel compression tank has several scales, which represent the scales from 800 meters to 100 meters. Since the sharks are right next to the ship, we did not choose to use the super-range and powerful card slot, and directly used the smaller force of 100 meters.
The card slot was jammed. Gan Ning came to the shooting position and aimed at the largest shark in the group of sharks that was not moving away from the boat.
Finger enough to pull the trigger.
Whoosh
With a sound, the crossbow arrow flew out with the rope, and the huge barbed arrow shot into the sea, directly piercing a huge shark.
The shark felt the pain and began to twist its body. As its body twisted, more and more blood flowed out.
The blood flowing out made the surrounding bloodthirsty sharks even more regal and crazy.
He circled crazily around the shot shark, biting the flesh of his own kind.
Whoosh
There was another sound, and the second crossbow shot into the shark's body. It was Zhang Fei's hand. Seeing that he had hit the prey, he laughed happily: "Hahaha, look at my old man's skills. "
Pang Tong clapped his hands and praised: "Both generals hit the target accurately, I admire you, but if you two wait any longer, the shark will be eaten up.
Soon enough, Zhang Fei and Gan Ning looked at the bloodthirsty sharks below and shouted to the soldiers.
"Young boys, pull up our trophies!"
"Hurry up, if you don't pull me up, you'll be carrying a bunch of beasts and eat them up."
Hearing the shouts of his two generals, the soldiers on the ship began to drag the winch of the rope, and soon the shark was pulled up.
The moment the shark came out of the water, it was obvious that the shark's belly had been torn open, and blood from its internal organs was scattered in the air. The sharks opened their mouths crazily to welcome the spilled flesh and blood of the same kind.
That scene was like adding a drop of water to a boiling pot of oil.
After pulling up the unlucky shark, which was already half-dead, and simply cleaning it up, Gan Ning and Zhang Fei planned to continue.
Seeing that the momentum was good, Pang Tong immediately ordered the communications troops to signal to other warships to let them participate in the shark hunting operation.
The top predator in the ocean world, the dominant shark, lost its proud dominant position when the Tang Dynasty East China Sea Fleet officially set foot on this vast sea for the first time, and was reduced to being called a lamb to be slaughtered.
Of course, some of them try to resist. The external steel guard plate with protrusions designed by Li Mingda lets them know what it means to be well-behaved.
The strong steel collided with the shark's flesh. The shark left a scar that was as deep as the bone. It left blood and tried to escape. In their simple brains, their fourth dimension told them that they could not beat and run away.
However, they were not all lucky. Ruthless crossbow arrows penetrated their bodies, and death befell them. A group of sharks paid the price with their lives on the spot for their greed and recklessness.
Even for sharks that are lucky enough to escape, the huge and deep wounds on their bodies are not easy to heal, and they will soon die from bleeding, disease, and devouring of their own kind.
Compared to the group of sharks, all members of the East China Sea Fleet said they were very happy. No less than 100 sharks were killed this time. The divided shark skin can be sold for hundreds of thousands, not to mention shark teeth and other accessories. It is a pity. There were too many shark fins. Pang Tong and the others ate too much and were tired of it. Why didn't they leave it for Li Mingda? Li Mingda had handed it over before they left. They shouldn't leave it on the way there. They could get some seafood on the way back. The premise is that It's not allowed to have too much. It's enough to have a representative to facilitate transportation. Li Mingda is not an old Buddha who wants to build a garden.
After sailing for several days, the fleet finally saw traces of the coast with the help of telescopes.
