Wei Hang was walking on the beach, and the fishing boat had been docked at the pier for a while. As the number of large ships in Tangjia Village increased, the dock gradually became crowded and expanded again and again, but when his three large ships returned, it would definitely seem troublesome.

With this in mind, he already had a decision. This time, the pier will not be expanded, mainly to repair the beauty and cater to the needs of tourism. The fishing boat wharf is ready to move out and see what is going on in the surrounding villages. The wharf in Tangjia Village will only stay in small boats and even yachts in the future.

To be honest, the noise of the fishing boats is very high, which will definitely have an impact on the future development of Tangjia Village.

He was thinking about it, figuring out the whole adjustment plan, so that he could discuss it with the old village chief. He believes that other villages will definitely have no opinion, and for their village, this is also a great opportunity, a pie.

At this time, some doubts were heard not far away.

"What do you think this thing is? It looks like wax. ”

"Throw it away!" said the other, looking very disgusted.

Wei Hang looked over, it was two villagers, a little old. He also recognized these two people, two brothers, one named Tang Dachuan and the other named Tang Dashan, a relatively poor part of the village. The strength of the family is not much, so they still fish mainly in the offshore sea, and the harvest is not guaranteed.

Actually, it's much better now. Then Tangjia Village developed this spring breeze, and they also saved some money, and their hearts were much more steady.

The two brothers, Tang Dachuan and Tang Dashan, have just come back from fishing, and they are more unlucky today, with only three or two small fish and shrimp. They also went down to the bottom of the sea. But it's not ideal, crabs and the like are seen, but they don't meet the standard of catching. I endured it and didn't catch it.

Now, an unwritten rule is beginning to form in the village about how big a crab must be caught. At the beginning, it was just Wei Hang who mentioned it, and then the old village chief said it a few times, and everyone slowly got used to doing it.

This move was deeply appreciated by those biologists. A poster was also put up praising the practice in Tangjia Village.

Wei Hang's gaze fell on the block that was larger than a football, gray-white. Waxy. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he walked over.

"Yo, Xiaohang, are you in a good mood today? When you get married, let's go have two drinks. Tang Dashan said with a smile.

"It's too early to get married! The whole village please. Uncle Oyama. Where did you pick this up?" Wei Hang pointed to the piece of wax in his hand.

"Oh, you said this thing? I just fished it out from the sea. I thought it was rubbish, and I got it. Our Tangjia Village is a tourist area, and the old village chief also said that it is not good to see garbage floating on the sea. Tang Dashan said.

He brought it back from the sea outside, in fact, it was ordered by the old village chief, and when he found garbage on the sea in the future, he had to pick it up and pull it out for disposal.

"I'll see. Wei Hang took it and said.

"It stinks. ”

"It's okay!" Wei Hang looked at it carefully. Basically, it's the rumored Long Yanxiang.

Don't look at this thing, it stinks right now. But after drying, it is fragrant, and the aroma of burning is stronger.

Also known as gray amber in the West, it is a solid wax-like flammable substance with a gray or black appearance, which is a morbid secretion similar to a stone at the end of the large intestine or the beginning of the rectum of sperm whales, and has a long-lasting aroma. Ambergris has its unique sweet and earthy fragrance, which was historically mainly used as a fixative for perfumes, that is, for perfumes.

The world's ambergris trade peaked at more than 1,000 catties per year, with the human slaughter of sperm whales, ambergris resources are decreasing year by year, and now the annual trade volume has been reduced to more than 200 catties, which is not good news for women and men who love perfume.

Although, now, the various ingredients in ambergris can be synthesized, but it can not completely replace the ambergris given to human beings by the sea, because the current human technology has not yet reached the wonder and harmony of nature, especially the ambergris in the natural ambergris, after being added to the perfume, it will generate a thin film on the skin, which can make the fragrance last for a long time.

"What is this?" asked Tang Dachuan.

"Sperm whale excrement. Wei Hang laughed.

"Whale poop?" both of them changed their faces, and secretly said in their hearts: No wonder it stinks. However, it was the first time I had seen whale poop, so it turned out to be like this.

"Uh! that's fine. Wei Hangleng paused, this was too vulgar.

In fact, some sperm whales will vomit out the condensation, some will be excreted from the intestines, and only a small number of sperm whales will keep ambergris in the body. Ambergris discharged into the sea is light black at first, but gradually turns gray, light gray, and finally white under the action of the seawater.

"Uncle Okawa, you have made a fortune. This is called Long Yanxiang, which is very precious, more expensive than gold, I heard that one gram is hundreds of yuan. I think this piece, it will be a million or hundreds of thousands!" Wei Hang reminded them, lest they really be thrown away as garbage.

He is not short of that money, and he will not secretly covet this treasure of the villagers.

As soon as these words came out, the two middle-aged fishermen were stunned, and then eagerly asked: "Is it really worth a million or hundreds of thousands?"

"Of course, but I don't know the exact price, you have to ask the second guy. Wei Hang said to them.

The two fishermen also knew that the second child in his mouth was a well-known jeweler in the village, and he was the most powerful at appraising jewelry.

"Xiaohang, come to my house for a meal tonight, let's not talk about it now. The two rushed away, and all the fishing belongings were thrown on the beach, holding that piece of Long Yanxiang to find Chen Jianliang, and now I don't think that piece of thing stinks.

The two brothers of Tang Dashan searched for Chen Jianliang all over the village, and it was this kind of fanfare to find someone that made many people in the village know that these two guys picked up a piece of treasure and said ambergris. I didn't believe it, but I heard that Wei Hang said it, and they all followed behind to watch the excitement.

Finally, I found it at Wei Hang's house, and the guy was taking a nap.

"Boss Chen, please help us see, is this the ambergris that Xiao Hang said?" Tang Dachuan hurriedly said.

"Oh, ambergris?" Chen Jianliang immediately sobered up a lot when he heard the treasure.

He immediately started to inspect it, and after a while, it was initially confirmed that it was ambergris.

"It should be right, and it's a good quality. ”

Ambergris discharged into the sea is light black at first, but gradually turns gray, light gray, and finally white under the action of the seawater. The white ambergris is of the best quality, and it has to be soaked in seawater for more than 100 years to float out all the impurities before it can become the top grade of ambergris.

Ambergris taken from the intestines of a killed sperm whale is of no value, and it must be floated and soaked in seawater for decades to gain a high status, and some ambergris blocks are soaked in seawater for more than a hundred years. The highest value is white ambergris, and the lowest value is brown, which has only been soaked in seawater for about a decade.

"How much is that worth?" that's what everyone cares about.

"Five or six hundred grams per gram, that is, twenty or thirty thousand taels. If it is the completely white kind, it can reach nearly 1,000 yuan a gram. "Countrymen, they are not very interested in grams, and they prefer to listen to how many catties and how many taels.

Hiss!

There was a gasp all around, looking at the piece that smelled a little fishy, it was said to be whale poop, and it was worth it to this trip?

"So it's worth it?" their eyes widened.

"Isn't it strange? Since it is called ambergris, in ancient times, everyone mistakenly thought that it was made by the condensation of the dragon's saliva. Chen Jianliang smiled and thought to himself: Don't always think that this is a piece of stool!

China is the first country in the world to discover ambergris, and our ancestors have discovered it in the Han Dynasty.

At that time, fishermen caught some gray-white and fragrant waxy drift in the sea, which is the finished ambergris that has been naturally denatured over many years.

Some local officials, after the purchase, donated treasures to the emperor, and used them as spices in the court, or as medicines. At that time, no one knew what kind of treasure it was, so he consulted the "chemist" alchemist in the palace.

The alchemist almost belongs to the category of divine sticks, obviously he doesn't understand, but for the sake of face, he begins to talk nonsense about the saliva that the "dragon" in the sea flows out when he sleeps, drips into the sea water and solidifies, and after a long time, it becomes "ambergris".

The emperor liked the dragon the most, or China liked the dragon the most.

Everyone was happy, and this kind of thing was famous, and it was very valuable in ancient times.

In fact, large squid and octopus have tough jaws and tongue teeth in their mouths, which are not easy to digest, and when sperm whales swallow large mollusks, the jaws and tongue teeth accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract, stimulating the intestines, and the intestines secrete a special wax-like substance, wrapping the food residues, and slowly forming ambergris.

The sperm whale is a feud with the big squid and the big octopus, and they must fight when they meet. Many people know about this.

"Do you want to sell it?" asked Chen Jianliang.

To be honest, this is also a rare treasure, although it is not his favorite gem or the like, but it may as well be collected, and it will definitely become more and more valuable in the future.

Why don't you sell it? What are you doing with it? The two Tang brothers were overjoyed.

Others are envious! These two guys can be regarded as getting rich overnight. Originally, he was not very rich, but when luck came, he really couldn't stop it, and the "garbage" that people picked up casually was millions.

One or two is twenty or thirty thousand, one pound is two or three hundred thousand, and there are more than five catties here, right?

Damn! All of a sudden, they jumped to the top ten positions on the Tangjia Village rich list, and everyone was a little unable to turn around.

The Tangjia Village Rich List was made by a tourist, and although there is no clear number, the ranking is still very accurate. Everyone knows it, and that's pretty much it.

"Aren't you going to have a treat tonight?"

"Please, come to my house tonight. Tang Dashan laughed. (To be continued......)
