Yang Qian's eyes widened, "Are you sure? Isn't that a tonic? I've never heard of it in my last life."
Zhang Yumeng laughed and said, "Exactly, in my previous life, it was not because of environmental issues that seals could rarely be hunted. Even if they were hunted legally, the annual output of seal oil was very low, and ordinary people would definitely not be able to eat it."
"And in addition to what I said above, it also has four major effects, namely."
"1. Nourish yin and yang, nourish the liver and kidneys, and regulate endocrine."
"2. Replenish blood and replenish qi."
"3. Nourishing and beautifying the skin."
"Four. Strengthen the muscles and bones."
"And seal oil contains almost no cholesterol or heavy metals, so you can take it with confidence."
Suddenly, Yang Gan's eyes flashed with light.
"Nourishes the liver and kidneys, regulates endocrine, and strengthens muscles and bones!!!"
He didn't care much about other things, but he was extremely concerned about these three functions.
Nourishing the liver and kidneys means warming and nourishing the internal organs. Although there are only two of them, they are very good. Not to mention strengthening the muscles and bones, it is my favorite.
And now that I am still young, I can take any supplement. After I turn fourteen, my absorption capacity will begin to decline.
After the age of eighteen or twenty, they are no different from ordinary adults.
Many people say that eating fish is smart, but they should start eating fish from a young age. What if you start eating fish when you are thirty years old? It's useful.
At the same time, Cao Wushuang, Belika and Krisna's eyes lit up and they strengthened their muscles? Anyone who practices martial arts will be very interested in this effect.
Cao Wushuang asked with urgency in his tone, "Zhang Xiaoniang, is this seal oil good at strengthening muscles and bones?"
"It's very strong. You only need to take one spoonful a day and it will be a course of treatment for a month."
Yang Qian licked his lips and felt that the hot spring was almost full, so he put on an apron and walked to the side.
Half of the soldiers and Fei Lian were seen soaking in the hot spring, chatting with each other.
Half of the soldiers were standing ready to guard the surrounding area. There was no human habitation here, and the grassland stretched as far as the eye could see.
Anyone who is not blind can almost blink and see.
"Here comes a team."
Immediately, fifty soldiers came over, and the captain at the head said solemnly, "Your Majesty, what do you want me to say?"
Yang Gan pointed to the seals not far away, crowded together and basking in the sun.
"That thing is called a seal. It runs very slowly on the shore, but in the water it is faster than a fish. I want you to catch a hundred of them, and then start burying the pot and extract the seal oil for me."
The captain was stunned. Although he didn't know what these animals were, he still performed the task very faithfully.
According to your description, the captain did not attack rashly because almost all seals were near the water and would run away if they were even slightly disturbed.
Ran Jing also came over. When he learned that seal oil had such effects, his eyes immediately turned green.
The pressure of living among a group of people with natural supernatural powers every day can be imagined. As long as there is something that can enhance the strength, Ran Jing does not want to let it go.
Now that they had taken this matter seriously, a group of people quickly formulated a strategy, probably because they had never seen such a creature before.
Ran Jing chose the simplest and most direct method, which is to use hard steel directly.
At this time, it happens to be when the sun is at its strongest, and many seals are lying lazily by the river basking in the sun.
Some are still playing and playing with each other. In the entire Lake Baikal, they are the kings, and any fish is their meal.
Of course, there are also deadly natural enemies, but there are not many of them, and they cannot come ashore, so the seals are not particularly alert.
Ran Jing led everyone and slowly approached them. Looking at them, they saw dense crowds everywhere.
"Everyone, get ready~~~!"
Two hundred and fifty people drew their bows quickly.
Ran Jing's voice was not low, and the seals turned their heads to look over, looking at these two-legged beasts with stupid faces.
, although I have seen it occasionally, I don't think it is threatening.
"Elevation angle~~~scattering!"
"Buzz~~~!"
250 steel arrowheads were shot diagonally into the sky. After staying in the air for a few seconds, they fell like raindrops.
When the first seal splattered with blood and let out a shrill scream, the entire riverside was like cold water poured into boiling oil.
It’s fried! ! !
Countless seals began to flee crazily, and the scene instantly got out of control. This may be the first time they have dealt with these animals.
Ran Jing was afraid that he would not be able to complete the task, so he ordered the arrows to be fired again.
Blood dyed a section of the lake red, and the shore gradually became bloody. Many seals tried their best to escape, and there was another stampede.
When the entire lake was cleared, Ran Jing and his soldiers rushed over. It would be an exaggeration to say that corpses were everywhere.
"Take all the seals to the camp and shoot those who are still alive."
"promise."
After everyone collected the carcasses of the seals, there were more than a hundred of them. Because they were made of steel arrows, many seals were shot into sieves.
If Yang Gan hadn't asked for a hundred, when this wave of arrows rained down, more than a hundred would have died.
At this time, a soldier pointed toward the lake and reported, "General, look."
Ran Jing looked in the direction pointed by the soldier, and saw carcasses of seals floating on the blood-red lake.
The wounds on the carcasses of these seals are unevenly distributed. Some have two or three arrowheads stuck in them, while others have no visible wounds. They may have been seriously injured when they were trampled while escaping.
Ran Jing thought for a while and said, "Find out all the seal bodies in a way, don't waste it!"
"promise!"
Ran Jing led a large group of troops and returned to the camp carrying the seal's body.
Regarding boiling oil, not to mention the people in Yuntong County, there are also people in the army who have learned the technology without knowing it.
Many family members of Xuanjia Cavalry will receive big fat pigs from the border during the holidays.
After killing, all the pork is removed and then boiled in oil. The lard of a big fat pig can be used sparingly. If not for a year, it can be used for at least eight or nine months. It only takes a small spoonful each time. You can cook.
Perhaps because they inherited Yang Gan's mild mysophobia, the soldiers slaughtered the seal carcasses and sorted them into categories.
Bones, offal, fat, lean meat and sealskin.
What your Majesty wants is seal oil. This matter cannot be delayed. After setting up a dozen large pots, put in water, cut the seal oil into small pieces and threw it in.
This is the first time everyone has seen this kind of oily meat. Compared with lard meat, it is softer, like a ball of cotton.
Considering the principle of not wasting, Ran Jing called the cook and began to process the bones, internal organs, and refined meat.
Several other craftsmen began to study seal skins.
Ran Jing began to supervise the work and wandered around, half an hour later.
He came to a large pot and saw that it was filled with bones, and a large number of seal skeletons were being cooked inside.
Ge Xiuming used a set of strange tools to scratch back and forth on the seal's skeleton.
"Doctor Ge, how is it? Is this seal bone useful?"
After a long silence, Ge Xiuming stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, "It's hard to say. I still need to study it for a few days. If it is ground into bone powder, the effect may be very different."
Ran Jing nodded, "Okay, we probably have to spend the winter here, so you can experiment as you please."
"good!"
Ge Xiuming was technically a northerner. He had never seen seals before, and his hometown was not close to the sea.
For a newly discovered thing, Ge Xiuming immediately became energetic and was not in the mood to talk to Ran Jing at all.
On the ground next to it, a dozen pots were lined up, and browned things were constantly rolling in the seal oil.
Ran Jing walked by
Go, observe for a while, and ask, "How is the oil yield?"
A shirtless soldier was stirring the inside with a long-handled ladle.
The soldier laughed and said, "General, this thing called a seal has much more oil than a big fat pig. Half of the whole seal is actually fat."
Looking at the tumbling seal oil, Ran Jing said cautiously, "This is something designated by your Majesty. There must be no mistakes."
"I brought a lot of plastic buckets this time. After cooling, put them in. You must not waste any of them. Do you understand?"
The soldier said solemnly, "No, General."
After a while, bursts of fragrance began to spread, and delicious dishes made of seal meat were brought out one after another. .
A chef came to Ran Jing with a plate of fragrant seal meat and said with a smile.
"General, we cooked a dozen seals this time, do you think?"
"Wait~~~!"
Ran Jing came to the back and shouted, "Xiangru, Yingniang, come out and serve the dishes."
After a while, there was a faint sound.
The two women, whose faces were rosy with steam, got out from behind the stone bars and brought in the meat and wine.
It seems that Junshang plans to stay in the hot spring for a while.
Looking at the seal meat brought over by Qin Xiangru, Yang Qian licked his lips. Although the fragrance was very strong, it was only the result of proper seasoning.
Whether it tastes good or not, you still need to try it yourself.
Yang Gan picked up a piece of braised pork, stuffed it into the end, and chewed it carefully.
The girls also began to taste it, and after a while, strange expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
Zhang Yumeng smacked his mouth, with a look of disgust on his face.
"The smell of iodine is too strong."
Yang Qian curled his lips, tried his best to swallow the meat, and sighed, "It's almost like venison, not delicious at all."
After washing his hands, Yang Gan stood up. Qin Xiangru quickly took a towel and wiped him, then put on a woolen sweater and modified silk clothes.
After coming outside, he called Ran Jing over and asked.
"How many seals were killed in total?"
"No more, no less, exactly one hundred and fifty." Ran Jing reported truthfully.
Yang Gan pinched his chin and said dissatisfiedly, "I wanted 100, and you gave me 150?"
Ran Jing hurriedly said, "I have never seen this kind of animal before, and I don't know how it will react after being attacked, so there are more."
Yang Qian nodded and said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and it won't happen next time. From today on, this lake is our Daxia territory, and no one is allowed to wantonly destroy the environment here."
"People are allowed to come here to fish, but seals are not allowed to be slaughtered. From now on, seals will be the only animals in Yuntong County. There is a limit of 100 killed every year to refine seal oil for my use."
Ran Jing said in a deep voice, "No."
