Chapter 253 Boiling Fish Oil
Everyone nodded, and Liu Daxi called a few men to work together to carry the headless, bald mutant fish to an old iron pot that had been prepared nearby.
Several women first separated the fish meat from the fish bones. Only after this separation did they realize that the fish bones were even harder and the fish bones were extremely sharp.
After checking, Su Yue asked the women to clean the fish bones and keep them, as they could be used as weapons.
When everyone heard Su Yue's words, they all thought it made sense, so they carefully collected the fish bones and put them aside for later use.
Several women here continued to be busy processing the fish meat, cutting it into even-sized pieces for the subsequent refining of fish oil.
The men added firewood to the fire, trying to heat up the old iron pot as quickly as possible.
Soon, the iron pot began to emit a wisp of hot steam. Song Mingtao directed everyone to slowly put the cut fish pieces into the pot.
With a "sizzling" sound, a pungent fishy smell mixed with oil smoke spread out, and you could still smell it even with a mask on.
The people around couldn't help but wrinkle their noses, but they didn't stop what they were doing.
They used long wooden sticks to constantly turn the fish in the pot. Gradually, the fish began to ooze out oil, which gathered into a pool in the iron pot.
Song Da looked at the increasing amount of fish oil and said happily: "Hey, this mutant fish looks scary, but I didn't expect it to have so much fish oil. I guess it can fill a large tank."
Liu Shan, who was standing by, also nodded and agreed, "Yes, this fish oil is also a good thing. It can be used to light lamps and can also be applied to some tools to prevent rust. You must cherish it."
Liu Qiang, who was just scooping fish oil into the tank, said, "There's no need to save it. We can go to the river to fish one or two more after we use them up. There are plenty of these big mutant fish in the river."
As soon as Liu Qiang said this, before anyone could respond, they heard a buzzing sound coming from far away.
The men were very familiar with the sound. They looked up and saw a large group of mutant flies flying towards them.
The women had never seen mutant flies before, so when they saw a large group of buzzing creatures flying towards them from a distance, they were horrified.
Others screamed in fear, dropped the wooden sticks they were holding for boiling fish oil, and hid behind the men.
"Oh my, what is this? I've never seen such a scary thing before. It's a big black area, and it keeps buzzing. It's so scary!" Li Hui said with horror, covering his chest.
"Could these be locusts? Don't be afraid. We don't have anything here that can feed the locusts. The glass greenhouse has been closed, so they can't fly in. Just be careful and don't get bitten."
After Ye Mei finished speaking, she felt a little strange. Locusts usually occur before and after droughts. How could there be locusts in the middle of winter?
But Liu Shan's next words immediately resolved Ye Mei's confusion.
"These are not locusts at all. They are what we call mutant flies. They are probably attracted by the fishy smell of these mutant fish."
"It's a mutant fly. There's no need to be afraid. Didn't you say that mutant flies don't bite people? We won't eat the fish anyway, so just give it to them." Li Hui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.
Su Yue took a look at the dense swarm of mutant flies in the sky and ordered, "Throw all the fried fish meat outside the wall, and light the torches you made with the insect repellent powder in the yard."
As she spoke, Su Yue also took some insect repellent powder from Song Mingtao, who was closer, and threw it directly into the burning stove.
Su Yue thought that as long as there was the smell of the powder, those mutated flies would not come around their building.
After hearing Su Yue's instructions, everyone took action without thinking too much.
Several men worked together to use long wooden sticks to pick up the fried fish pieces in the pot and threw them outside the wall.
The pieces of fish meat, covered with hot oil, drew arcs in the air and fell "cracklingly" onto the open space outside the wall.
At the same time, the other women frantically dug out the torches that had been specially made with insect repellent powder and lit them with tinder.
For a moment, there were flickering lights in the yard and the pungent smell of medicinal powder began to spread in the air, mixed with the fishy smell that had not yet dissipated, the smell seemed quite strange.
But as the smell of insect repellent powder in the yard became stronger and stronger, many flies began to become restless in the air, and the "buzzing" sound became more and more chaotic, as if they were hesitating whether to continue to approach this side.
In the end, the large group of mutant flies flew out of the wall, hovered and gathered where the fish meat fell, and soon they were fighting for the fish meat pieces that were not very warm in the snow.
Liu Daxi opened the gate and looked at the swarm of flies fighting for the fish outside the wall. He said to Su Yue, "Girl, your method is really effective. Look, they have all been lured away now. I just don't know how long the smell of the powder will last."
Su Yue frowned, still staring at the flies, and replied, "I can't say for sure. Anyway, the powder needs to be kept burning. If it's not enough, ask Doctor Wu to make more. Don't stop boiling the fish oil either."
After hearing what Su Yue said, everyone nodded in agreement. Several nimble women ran towards the room where Doctor Wu was and told him that they needed to prepare more anthelmintic powder.
Doctor Wu knew the situation was urgent, so he didn't say much and immediately started to prepare. Fortunately, there were still enough raw materials for making the medicine powder.
He ground and mixed the ingredients quickly in the house. After a while, he made some anthelmintic powder and gave it to the woman to take back.
The men who were boiling fish oil here continued to add firewood and add more fire. The fish oil in the pot continued to seep out and gather in puddles.
While Liu Qiang scooped the freshly boiled fish oil into the tank, he asked Liu Daxi to carry the tank full of fish oil back to the warehouse.
Liu Daxi responded and called a few men to carefully lift the tank full of fish oil and walked towards the warehouse.
After Liu Daxi and his team stably carried the tanks filled with fish oil into the warehouse and put them away, they hurried back to the yard to continue helping.
At this time, as the insect repellent powder continued to burn, the pungent smoke became thicker and thicker, and the entire courtyard was shrouded in this strange smell.
However, because of this, the mutated flies kept hovering outside the wall and none of them could fly in, which made everyone feel a lot more at ease.
The women were very skillful and in no time they had extracted the fish oil from the three mutant fish.
Pools of fish oil gathered in the pot, glowing faintly under the light of the fire, making people feel that they had gained a lot just by looking at it.
After Liu Qiang scooped the last spoonful of fish oil, Liu Daxi threw all the fried fish meat in the pot outside the wall.
