Chapter 114: Have you found a treasure?

Since he had obtained the task, Takasenda naturally had to go to Kyocho for a walk. Before leaving, he planned to go to Suemon's restaurant to eat some delicious fish.

The fish dishes were still as delicious as ever, and the wine was delicious. Gao Shinda and Susunari were having a happy chat, and a friend rushed over to report to Susunari.

Susuke Zaemon said I am drinking here. Is there anything you can't tell me about in the future?

The guy saw that Susuke Zaemon didn't care and said, "Sir, you're catching the fish!"

Susuke Zaemon was a little angry, and hit the guy on the head with chopsticks and said, "I think it's a big deal! Every day, fishing boats come back from fishing, but the boat has capsized, what do you tell me?"

The guy was so anxious that he was sweating, and he hurriedly said, "No, no, boss, the fish caught this time are different!"

Seeing that he was very anxious, Gao Xianda said to Susuke Zaemon: "Forget it, he must have something urgent, let's go and have a look."

Since Gao Xianda spoke, it was difficult for him to object, so he asked the gang to lead the way and followed him with Gao Xianda.

When he arrived at the dock, Gao Xianda finally understood why that guy was so anxious.

The fish caught this time are not ordinary fish, and they are a bit too big.

It can be fifteen or sixteen meters long and weigh dozens of tons. At this time, it was dragged to the shore and seemed to be dead.

"You little fishing boats actually caught whales?" Not only Gao Xianda, but even Susun Zaemon was quite surprised. No wonder the guy was very anxious and called Susun Zaemon over.

"Of course not." A bow came over to report, "It's enough for us to catch a tuna boat. How could we catch a whale? This whale was stranded by itself."

Whales are sometimes sent to the shore by sea water, but because they are too big and lose the buoyancy of sea water, their bodies have no way to support their weight.

So stranded whales, if no one pushes them back into the sea, will soon die.

From the perspective of animal protection, of course, the stranded whales should be pushed back into the sea. However, in Japan during the Warring States Period, human lives could not be saved, so why should we talk about protecting animals?

These fishermen have no sense of protecting animals, and they regard the whale as a gift from the sea.

Because these fishermen were all employed by Susaka Zaemon, after occupying the whale, they hurriedly called Susaka Zaemon to come.

Of course, there were also some people around who were ill-thinking, watching with the attitude of seeing the person. However, when they saw Gao Xianda's tall figure, they knew that these fishermen had the support of the warriors, so they obediently retreated, not daring to have delusions about the whale anymore.

Although these fishermen may not have caught whales, they are all veterans of navigation and have seen whales. They did not regard the whales as a magical object, but just treated them as ordinary big fish and divided them.

This whale is full of meat. After selling it to the house, it can get a lot of money.

But what Susuke Zaemon is interested in is not the fish meat on the whale. Because he recently found a large fishing and hunting spot, the meat of tuna has been somewhat saturated and is in a situation of oversupply. You can't make much money by relying on whale meat alone.

Susuke Zaemon was a person who knew the goods. He quickly shouted to the fishermen who were busy with whales: "Be careful, this is a sperm whale. There are treasures in its belly. Don't break it!"

Hearing that there was a treasure inside, the brave fisherman cut the whale's belly and crawled in with his hands and feet, trying to touch the treasure out. But he crawled out not long after, and his body was dirty. While spitting, he cursed: "I didn't touch the baby, but I touched a piece of shit!"

Susuke Zaemon laughed: "Yes, the baby in the sperm whale's belly is that piece of shit!"

The fisherman thought Susuke Zaemon was teasing him, so he angrily threw the fish-cutting knife in his hand to the ground.

Unexpectedly, Susuke Zaemon was not angry. He took off his clothes, went barefoot, picked up the fish-cutting knife, and then got into the sperm whale's stomach himself.

Not long after, he held a lump of sticky dark substance and drilled out of the whale's belly. He was covered in blood and smelly, as if he was really holding a lump of shit.

When the people around saw Suzusaemon's appearance, they couldn't help laughing even though Suzusaemon was the boss who hired them.

But Suzusaemon smiled happier than them and said, "What do you know? I have found a treasure this time!"

He ordered people to find something, wrapped the whale "shit", then jumped into the sea and simply washed the blood on his body, and came back and said to the fishermen: "Whale skin, whale meat, whale bones are all useful. You sort them out and then send them to Nawu, and Nawu is purchased at the market price."

The fishermen were naturally very happy when they heard this.

Susus Zaemon took Takasenda first to leave.

Gao Xianda couldn't help but feel that Aosa Saemon's body was a little stinky, but Aosa Saemon was very excited.

When I returned to Naya's shop and found a place where no one was, Susaka Zaemon laughed loudly.

In Takashita's opinion, Susuke Zaemon was dirty and wet, and laughing with a piece of shit, which was crazy.

Gao Xianda said, "Aren't you going to explain? Or are you going to ask me to find a doctor for you?"

"No, no, I'm just so happy." Suzusaemon reported: "Sir, do you know? This is a sperm whale!"

"Well, I understand." Gao Xianda nodded, "but I can't see why you laughed like crazy."

Susuke Zaemon says: "Whale is full of treasures. The meat can be eaten, the skin can be used as leather goods. The whale oil made from fat is the best for lights. But the most expensive thing about sperm whales is the ball of ambergris in its belly, which can be used as spices. Several large rouge shops in Kyoto have purchased ambergris at high prices all year round. I think there must be high-end products made of ambergris in the powder that Imakawa Yoshimoto uses on weekdays."

After he said this, Gao Xianda felt that it seemed that someone had heard that something was going on. Imakawa Yoshimoto liked to imitate the Kyoto government, so he always applied makeup on weekdays, and naturally there were also high-end products among them.

Susus Saei's hand gestured a big lump of "shit" in his hand and said, "The price of ambergris is one or two taels and one or two, ten times more expensive than gold of the same weight!"
