Chapter 847
To reach Meereen through Summer Sea, you need to pass through three oceans, namely Summer Sea near the equator, Gulf of Grief between Lands of Long Summer and Ghis continent, and Slaver's Bay connected to Gulf of Grief through Maiden of Freedom Strait.
From the day when Sun was broken, Dragon Queen's "agricultural production ***" was suspended, and the unfilled wheat, corn, and rice in the fields were all harvested and dried in the wind. tied into animal feed.
The Great Leap comes to a close, and more than a million people in Slaver's Bay all but stop working.
Clearly, any efficient and sensible government will not allow oneself's people to do nothing.
It is not only a waste of labor, but also not conducive to maintaining public security and management.
Dany understood this, so he arranged a new job for them right away: fishing for all!
As soon as he took over Astapor that year, Dany built several salt fields by the sea, and in recent years Slaver's Bay's snowflake salt is also a fist export.
Therefore, Slaver's Bay has no shortage of salt.
This provides a good foundation for the salted fish industry.
When Dragon Queen went to Westeros to fight Others, Little Gold, who stayed in Slaver's Bay, went into the sea every day and led a few Wyverns to drive the fish from Slaver's Bay to the shore.
This is only coastal fishing, and there is a larger ocean fishing. After all, it is only a dragon for Little Gold, and it is impossible for more than one million people to surround him.
As the starting point of slave trade, Slaver's Bay originally had more than 1,000 large and small sea ships. In these years, the New Ghis alliance and allied forces sent more than 1,000 ships one after another. Merchant Ships and warships add up to more than 2,000.
Originally, most of those boats would be sold at low prices at the dock, or the decks would be dismantled for firewood.
Now that Long Night is coming, Dany uses them to form an unprecedented super fishing team.
Slaver's Bay has hundreds of thousands of people involved in this massive production, fishing, killing, and salting.
Ninety percent of them are in Slaver's Bay, where there are few sea storms. Some small sampans with less than ten crew members even leave early and return late, treating ocean fishing as river fishing.
Well, there are also fishing boat activities in the upper and lower reaches of Black Dragon River and White Dragon River. Dragon Queen also arranges a group of elderly people and children to dig eels and loaches in paddy fields, channel ditches, and riversides, and pick up shells and screws.
A day's work may not necessarily yield much, but people can't be idle.
Of course, the real big catch for Slaver's Bay is the Gulf of Grief and even the ocean fishing in the Summer Sea.
......
Gulf of Grief, 80 km from Smoking Sea.
A little Sun hangs over the sea, and the Princess Elia looks like a veil of gold red.
On the bridge, "Goat" Grisella opened her eyes, sat up from the deck chair, pointed to the sea in one direction, and said to Blackbeard Groleo, who was looking over: "Mackerel, medium size, about two kilometers. ."
Blackbeard Groleo ordered immediately to the sailors under the bridge: "Cool, turn left rudder 27 degrees. Suyalis, cast net. Jimmy kid, signal - mackerel, medium size, Two kilometers ahead, prepare to encircle."
"Yes, Captain!"
Half an hour later, Suyalis, who was in control of the trawl, exclaimed excitedly, "The Seven bless, this is A mature mackerel population, the average age is at least four years old."
Blackbeard Groleo hearing this Yi Xi, deng deng deng ran down the wooden ladder and came to the side of the boat.
Sure enough, as the fishing net was pulled, a mackerel jumped out from the dark sea, like a silver shuttle, almost half a meter long.
Pick up the telescope on the chest and observe more than 20 boats in the arc-shaped sea nearby, all of which seem to be plentiful harvests.
"In this wave, we have harvested at least 200 tons of fish!" Groleo sighed contentedly.
"You can't say there are whales behind the mackerel, then the harvest is even bigger." Suyalis smiled, showing two huge front teeth.
Little Sun in midair seemed to hear their words, loudly said: "I'm tired, I need to rest!"
"Lord Pear, please hold on for a while, fish school It was attracted by the sun, maybe there are whales coming, and a whale is worth our hard work for several days." Groleo quickly comforted.
Little Sun lowered his height, splashed light and heat on the ocean, and exclaimed, "It's so cold, I want to go to the west, it's very warm."
"I can't. Further west, to the west is the Smoking Sea, with reefs and devils," Groleo said.
"When I get off work, I'll go by myself." Little Sun said, and fell silent.
"Lord Captain, have you noticed that compared to half a month ago, Lord Pear's color is much lighter." Suyalis whispered to Blackbeard's ear.
Groleo stared at Pear for a while, nodded and said: "It's not as red as before."
"These days, Lord Pear guides us fish during the day and twinkles at night. , will act as a beacon indicating the direction of the fleet, will it be too hard and sick?" Suyalis worriedly said.
"I don't know about that either." Groleo thought for a moment, then called out to little Sun, "Mr. Pear, are you sick?"
Pear ignored him .
"Eighty percent of the time." Suyalis lamented.
Groleo looked back in the direction of the captain's room and said, "I'll ask Queen Your Majesty later."
It took another half an hour before the heavy fishing net was pulled up. deck.
Immediately a group of sailors gathered around with baskets.
They were in a circle, sitting on ponytails with a huge wooden chopping board in front of them.
Put the back of the knife on the head of the fish, knock it out, pick it up and place it on the cutting board, "bang bang" with two knives, chop off the head and tail of the fish.
Put your hand into the belly of the fish and pull out the internal organs, throw the fish in the middle into the bamboo basket, and knock out the next fish.
Waiting for the half-meter-high bamboo basket to be levelled, a sailor immediately came to change a basket.
They carried the fish baskets into the pond surrounded by a piece of wood at the bow of the boat, dumped the fish, and randomly sprinkled a handful of white salt on it.
In the evening, someone would come with a huge clay pot as tall as one person, pick up the fish again and divide it into two pieces, smear it with coarse salt, and put it into the pot.
The clay pot is filled, sealed, and carried into the cabin.
In fact, the fish head, fish tail, and even the internal organs of the fish were not thrown away. They were all placed in jars.
The head and tail of the fish are sprinkled with a thin layer of salt, and after returning, they are dried to make livestock feed, and the internal organs are used for composting.
While the sailors were slaughtering and kippering, Groleo went to the kitchen to bring a tray to the captain's room.
"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner."
Jhiqui stepped forward to take the tray and lifted the lid. It was a steaming pot of red oil hot pot with a child's fist inside. Big shrimp balls, a pile of golden fish roe, azure kelp slices, a milk-white cuttlefish festival...
Full to the brim with a strong aroma.
The staple is a few burnt yellow baguettes.
"Let's eat together." Dany first scooped a bowl of stewed seafood with a spoon, tore the bread into pieces, and put it in the bowl to soak it soft.
Groleo thanked him and scooped oneself a bowl.
Jhiqui took out three glasses, poured a glass of wine for Queen and Grand Admiral, and then sat down under Queen to scoop soup for oneself.
"Thorn--" A line of fire flew into the room from the gap between the windows and turned into a big crow.
"Mother Goddess, I want to go to the west side of the Smoking Sea to recharge." Pear said.
"You're not a battery, so what can you do? Turn into a big crow and sleep, and the second day will be full of energy." Dany said with a smile.
"Hey, I like places with fires."
"Then go to sleep in the fire," Dany said. The big crow> nodded and sighed, "I slept in a charcoal stove before, but that charcoal fire doesn't smell as good as the fire in the west."This time Dan is upside down. Interest, "Smoking Sea is dozens of kilometers away, can you feel it?"
"It seems that the fire in the west will make me very comfortable."
The fire in the Smoking Sea comes from the ground , Earth Fire, which belongs to the fourth energy level, is of course more "tasteful" than the common fire of Level 1.
If possible, the best place for Fire Spirit to rest is Fire Mountain Cliff pulp. Absorbing Earth Fire for a long time might allow them to evolve into...R'hllor?
"You go, remember not to go deep inside the Smoking Sea," Dany said.
Waiting for Pear to cheer and leave, Groleo said, "I see that Pear's fire is not as red as a few days ago, is he sick?"
"Then do you feel that the Dim the light?" Dany asked with a smile.
Groleo thought about it for a while, and was surprised: "Not only did it not get darker, it seemed to be brighter than before."
"Pear is changing from Fireball to Lightball." Dany said .
"Isn't Fireball just a ball of light?" Groleo looked blank.
“Is it bright under the sun or by the fireplace?” Dany asked.
"It's brighter in the sun, of course."
"So, is it hotter in the sun, or hotter by the fireplace," Dany asked again.
"Fireplace..." Groleo frowned.
He was touched, but still couldn't understand.
"Just think Pear is growing from fireplace to Sun." Dany shrugged and didn't explain further.
If Blackbeard is a transcendent, she can explain it clearly in one sentence: in the recent closed-door cultivation these days, she has realized the Song of Light that belongs to her oneself.
Because there is no meditation method for light attributes, Dany had never thought that "Maiden-Made-of-Light's Destiny" would bring her immediate benefits beyond the growth of dive soul.
Actually, she didn't comprehend Song of Light deliberately.
The appearance of Song of Light was purely a surprise, or rather, fright.
Dany was taken aback.
Since Little Gold entered the space in the Wall that she named "World's Source", she has been with Little Gold Dreki in the state of Song of Wind for every cultivation.
Like the beginning of the birth of the world, in World's Source, various Principle Songs are opened to Dany, and the cultivation doubles the results for half the effort.
At that time, she was listening to the Song of Fire sung by the world, and she was feeling something. The nine-color meditation vortex in the Consciousness Sea suddenly "swelled" in a circle.
The foundation of the meditation is not really expanded, just starting from the root, the whole body emits brilliant white golden light awns, and those white lights form a larger vortex phantom on the periphery of the nine-color vortex.
Like two vortex stacked on top of each other.
The inner vortex is a nine-color counterclockwise solid, and the outer is a golden clockwise virtual body.
Dany sinks his consciousness into the newly created golden vortex in disbelief.
Then, at a loss, she found that oneself had more Song of Light with a completion rate of 36%.
That is to say, R'hllor, like Sheep Balls, started to lose Principle Song, and also lost nearly 40% of Song of Light at one time.
Perhaps, that hapless man who "sits at home and disaster falls from heaven" has lost his True God personality.
She was ecstatic, but she didn't know why.
Until she noticed, because hundreds of Fire Crows were burned, oneself's Song of Fire also increased to 36%!
She seems to understand.
After a few more days of research, she understood how R'hllor kept the Song of Light from disappearing when the Sun went out.
When the world was born from the First Fire, it was dark, there was no Sun, and naturally there was no Song of Light.
The first Sun appears, followed by the Song of Light.
What is the essence of Sun?
Fire.
