One by one, the shells were smashed open, but no red coral was found, but a lot of beeswax, that is, sea amber, was found.

This thing is not common in fishermen's homes, but it is not very rare, Ao Muyang knows that it is not very valuable, at least not as valuable as red coral.

However, he didn't know much about the current beeswax market, and there happened to be an expert here, so he went to call Cheng Deming, who was still in Longtou Village, over.

Forty-two snail shells, a total of thirty-five beeswax pieces were harvested, and the acquisition rate was very high, which is related to the characteristics of snails.

After the old man arrived, he saw a dazzling array of beeswax on the table, he picked up a piece and nodded: "Well, golden honey, the sea amber produced in the sea area of our country, only Hongyang has golden honey, this price in the market can be, one gram is two hundred yuan." ”

Both sea and land amber are made of ancient pine and maple trees secreting lipid wax, which is very light, and it is still very light after being fossilized, and even sea amber is less dense than water, and can float on the surface of the sea, so it is brought ashore by the sea.

The golden honey in Cheng Deming's mouth is the piece that Ao Fugui got at the beginning, like an egg yolk, not small, but in fact it is not heavy, so the weight of the big head is more than ten grams.

The old man is an expert in this area, so he picked up another piece and looked at it and said: "This is not bad, Jin Bao Honey, I haven't seen it much in our Hongyang, the price is slightly worse than Jin Ji Honey, but if the quality is good, the unit price can be sold for one hundred and seventy or eighty yuan." ”

Ao Fugui said complacently: "Then we can make a fortune." ”

The beeswax they found was at least 100 grams, mostly gold honey, and according to the old man, they were worth 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

For Ao Muyang, this is a small amount of money, but for Ao Fugui, this is indeed a small fortune.

Hearing his words, the old man touched his beard with a smile: "Have you made a fortune?"

Seeing his expression, Ao Muyang knew that something was wrong.

Ao Fugui didn't see it, he hadn't dealt with the old man after all, and misunderstood what he meant: "Boss Cheng, we countrymen are not like you who are very rich, and earning tens of thousands of yuan at a time is already a fortune." ”

The old man shook his head: "Who said that these beeswax can make you tens of thousands of yuan?"

Ao Fugui was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you just say the price of them?

Ao Muyang knew that Cheng Deming had made the mistake of liking to sell Guan Zi again, so he sighed: "Old man, if you have flowers, you might as well say it directly." ”

The old man said: "Then let me tell you bluntly, you beeswax can't be sold at the price I said, because the quality is not good, they are obtained from the snail shell of the snail snail, you see, almost every piece of beeswax has polishing marks, and some of them have chitin ...... stuck in it."

As he spoke, he continued to shake his head, meaning self-evident.

Ao Muyang shrugged and said, "Then how much can these beeswaxes sell for?"

The old man pondered for a moment and said: "A few thousand yuan, if you sell it through me, maybe someone can sell my old face for face, and it can also be sold for tens of thousands of yuan, but at most this price." ”

Hearing him say this, Ao Fugui had a strange expression on his face.

Ao Muyang knows this brother next door who has been peeing and playing with mud since childhood, and this thing is suspected that the old man is playing tricks with them and playing profiteers.

is still the same sentence, Ao Fugui is not familiar with Cheng Deming, thinking that Cheng Deming said this and wanted to be an intermediary and take the opportunity to make some money when he helped sell these beeswaxes.

But Ao Muyang knew that the old man really didn't like this little thing, his words were true, and only if he used his network resources to let buyers see his face could he sell it at a slightly higher price.

Ao Muyang will definitely not do this, this is a favor, he can't do it for a few thousand yuan to take a personal favor, anyway, he doesn't expect to make money from these ambers.

patted Ao Fugui on the shoulder, and he said: "Fugui, if you like these things, take them, I believe that if Boss Cheng says, they should be able to sell for a few thousand yuan." ”

Ao Fugui didn't like to take advantage of small things, and when he heard him say this, he immediately got angry: "This is not my thing, what are you doing for me? I don't want it." ”

Ao Muyang knew him and knew that this kid was as stubborn as a cow, and since he said so, he wouldn't take away these beeswaxes.

After thinking about it, he took out the largest piece of gold honey and handed it to him: "Oh, this is for you, you are the number one hero who can open beeswax, this is a reward." ”

Ao Fugui laughed and said: "I just said that I have good luck, Yangzi, you also said that you are a virgin, you can see your luck and know that it is definitely not, anyway, I expelled you from our team of virgins in Longtou Village." ”

Ao Muyang smiled helplessly: "Then why do I feel that I still have honors after leaving this list?"

He can only put away the rest of the beeswax, but he has no habit of collecting these things, and if he keeps it in his hands, he probably won't know where it will fall sooner or later.

In this way, he thought of the old man Ao Zhiman, who likes to tinker with these things, and when he opened the reef beach some time ago, he also mentioned a mouthful of beeswax.

Ao Muyang promised him at that time that the beeswax he got from the reef beach belonged to the old man, and although the beeswax in his hand was not obtained from the reef beach, he still wanted to give it to the old man.

The old man has a nickname in the village, called Amber, as the name suggests, is very obsessed with sea amber, he likes handicraft work since he was a child, is the best craftsman in the village, not only can weave bamboo products, but also carve beeswax.

He sent the beeswax over, and the old man's eyes widened when he saw so many pieces of beeswax: "Ah, so much sea amber, it's so good, where did it come from?"

"I caught some snails, which were smashed out of the shells. Ao Muyang smiled and handed him the beeswax, "Master Man, this is all for you." ”

Ao Zhiman blocked his arm and said, "No, this thing is quite expensive......

"Can it compare to the door panel you gave me?" Ao Muyang asked rhetorically, "That is worth millions of miles, Master Man, don't be polite to me, you're like carving beeswax, I'll give it to you." ”

The old man was no longer polite, rubbing the beeswax like rubbing some treasure, and his face was full of joy.

After the beeswax was delivered, it was already evening.

It was not easy to get the beeswax from the shell, the shell was so hard and the wax was relatively soft, it took a lot of time to get it out, and they were busy all afternoon.

After returning home, Ao Muyang took the snail meat out of the refrigerator.

The tender snail meat was cold and springy, and he sliced it with a quick knife and put it in the refrigerator to chill.

In addition, he marinated some meat, plus sauced beef, braised peanuts, salted edamame, etc., he made a table of cold dishes, and set up the grill to prepare something later.

At sunset, Ao Mudong and his entourage came to his house with a smile and laughter, everyone carried beer, and some even mentioned the wild vegetables made by the daughter-in-law at home: "Village Chief, I know how you are good, how about my daughter-in-law's spicy grasshopper vegetables." ”
