Seeing the amber that Yang Fan got, Qi Nianci and Zhou Wentao were very surprised, it was indeed very beautiful, even Zhou Wentao was a little hot, not to mention the female Qi Nianci.
"What kind of bee is such a big bee?" Zhou Wentao also wanted to collect one.
Yang Fan shook his head, who knows this? It is estimated that you have to find a paleontology expert to figure it out. This piece of amber was formed tens of millions of years ago, and it is not surprising that the organisms at that time were larger.
"It's so good-looking, more than 400,000 is not expensive. Qi Nianci also spoke.
Some slightly better jadeite is not worth the price, therefore, in her eyes, it is indeed not expensive. If Yang Fan makes a move, she is willing to take it at twice the price.
"Go back, I'll get a few pieces to play with. ”
Of course, Zhou Wentao is talking about this kind of insects, which is interesting.
"Then you have to be careful, there are a lot of fakes on the market. Yang Fan said with a smile.
He is well aware that compared with jadeite, Hetian jade, red sapphire, etc., amber has always been mediocre, and there are not many collectors. It was not until the mid-80s that amber began to become popular in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and other countries in China, and the number of collectors increased day by day, and the price rose all the way, especially in the past two years.
The market is booming, and the mud and sand are falling. Whether it's amber or beeswax, all sorts of conceptual hype comes up in a variety of ways. Amber and beeswax have been called the most counterfeit organic gemstones by insiders.
"It's okay, it is said that there are instruments that can detect authenticity and fakeness. Zhou Wentao was not worried.
Yang Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Then you are wrong." At present, it is difficult to distinguish the real and fake amber beeswax in the market, not to mention that experts will 'punch the eyes', and even professional instruments may not be able to identify, and the most common counterfeiting method is to use Cobal resin to pass off amber. ”
Coba resin and amber, beeswax, white wax and so on are all natural resin fossils, in terms of composition and formation reasons, there is no obvious difference in essence, the only difference is that the formation age is very different.
After the fresh resin dries up, it forms a hard resin, and after the hard resin is buried underground, after tens of thousands to millions of years of geological action, it forms a semi-petrified resin, which is copal resin. Amber, on the other hand, is a resin fossil that has been buried in the ground for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years.
"I'll just take you along and watch it when the time comes. Zhou Wentao laughed.
Yang Fan suddenly had nothing to say.
After this incident, the villagers all regarded Yang Fan and the three gods of wealth as the same. In addition, everyone knew that the gem was picked up by the river, and a large crowd of people flocked to the small river not far away, and the rocky beach was full of human figures.
But, unfortunately, there is no longer a shadow of amber. Because of the light weight of amber, it is likely to be washed down by the upper class. Therefore, it is not necessarily a product of the vicinity.
In the evening, the village chief also asked people to hunt some game and come back to entertain them, and he knew that the people in the city liked this.
The little girl's family also specially sent some local flavors, and they were very grateful to Yang Fan. People don't have to spend so much money at all, but they still confess that they are gems and take them away at a high price, which shows that their character is extremely noble.
The old man was very happy, he got so much money unexpectedly, and his life was much better in the future. He also specially informed his son to bring his daughter-in-law back to renovate the house.
The hospitality of the villagers allowed Yang Fan and the three of them to enjoy it to the fullest. Stayed in this village for one night and it was quite cool.
Early the next morning, Yang Fan and the others did not leave immediately. Last night, I discussed and went into the mountains to hunt with a few villagers and relax and relax.
There were three villagers who led the way, all of whom were acquaintances who often went into the mountains, and the kind that could climb out blindfolded.
They also carried bows and arrows, broadswords and other tools in their hands, and one of them even carried a one-meter-long rifle, which was so old that he lost his teeth. It is said that it was a rifle from the anti-Japanese period, and it was repaired several times later. At the beginning, the government confiscated the guns, and when they saw that they were all scrapped, they stayed.
"Bullets?" Yang Fan skeptical.
"Hehe! The old firewood in the village can get it, as long as there are gunpowder shells. "Shells can be reused.
Yang Fan wiped his sweat, wouldn't such a roughly-made bullet go off? He was very skeptical.
Such an ancient primeval forest, the trees are straight and thick, due to the low temperature and humidity on the valley, the old forest is full of old white silk, moss, mushrooms, quietly spreading colors.
Along the path in the slightly decorated primeval forest, walking into the depths of the dense forest, stepping on the thick moss, turning over the fallen trees in front of them, the scenery is infinitely good, Yang Fan and the three of them are looking around.
"Hey, it's a bunch of little wild boars. ”
Hearing Yang Fan's voice, everyone looked over, and sure enough, they found several small wild boars, digging the soil to feed.
Qi Nianci immediately focused the camera on his neck, click, This is professional tourism.
Yang Fan also wanted to take a few photos, but he found that the pixel of the mobile phone was not high, and the ghost shadow was the same, so forget it.
After walking for a while, Yang Fan found out first that it was a sable, like a squirrel, dragging a big tail, always running and stopping, sniffing and looking around.
"It's rare to see this animal now. The villagers with large knives on their backs also sighed.
In the past, there were still quite a lot of sables, running around in the woods, not very afraid of people, but very vigilant, and they would run when they got close.
Yang Fan smiled, mink fur is a precious fur, and it is one of the traditional export fur species. Among international fur goods, mink is the most expensive. Foreign merchants kept mink as if it were gold, so it was also known as "soft gold".
Under this premise, it is already very lucky that the sable will not be killed and extinct.
"It's a pity that I ran away. Qi Nianci was a little regretful, and before he could take a picture, the sable was scared away.
Subsequently, I saw a bush of mushrooms, which are precious lion's mane mushrooms, which look like golden monkey heads from afar, so they are called "lion's mane mushrooms", and like hedgehogs, so they are also called "hedgehog mushrooms".
The three villagers hurriedly collected it, this fungus is very precious, they know it.
"I'll take four hundred and one pounds when I go back. Zhou Wentao said.
There are very few wild lion's mane mushrooms, which are traditional Chinese precious dishes, with tender, fragrant, delicious and delicious meat.
Folk proverb: "Eat more monkey mushrooms to rejuvenate yourself." ”
It can be seen that the preciousness of this mushroom, generally more than 400 pieces of wild ones, and those are dozens of pieces on the market, all of which are artificially cultivated, which is far from the same.
The three villagers were overjoyed, and someone used to buy only a hundred or dozens of yuan. This can be as much as three or five catties from the least. This trip into the mountain is definitely profitable, I didn't expect such good luck.
They all thought, should they go a little farther today and collect more lion's mane mushrooms, such a good price, there are not many opportunities!
At this time, an object fell into Yang Fan's eyes.
