433.Sea Amber (5)

In Ao Muyang's plan, the reef used to build the tidal embankment was mainly mined from the sea outside the village.

Longtou Village is distributed along the coastline, stretching for a long time, and the coast of the village is not only sandy beaches, but also a considerable part of the reef, and the sound of waves crackling and bursting like thunder every day.

In Ao Muyang's memory, some of the village's previous tidal embankments were piled up with stones, some were broken boats across the sea, and some were a fallen tree.

This time, he chose to use the reef to build the tidal embankment, and by the way, the reef beach was developed, and then filled with sand to make an artificial beach.

As a result, he hired a construction team to mine the reef, but someone stopped him on the way, and it was the village craftsman Ao Zhiman and his grandson Ao Jinfu who stopped him.

After getting the news, Ao Muyang hurried over and saw his grandfather and grandson sitting on the reef in a daze, with some excavators and stone crushers behind him.

This made him very inexplicable: "Master Man, Xiaofu, what are you doing here?"

He can be said to have the grace of life for Ao Zhiman's family, and he can take credit for saving Man Ye from under the snow-crushed house and Ao Jinfu from the mouth of a poisonous snake.

It can be said that without Ao Muyang, the grandfather and grandson are already dead.

Ao Zhiman is a very stubborn old man, but he is not ignorant.

After seeing Ao Muyang, the wrinkles on his face opened a little, and he said, "Village Chief, can you stop opening this reef beach?"

Ao Muyang said: "Master Man, why did you say this?"

Ao Zhiman looked around, then pulled him to the reef, and said in a low voice: "I'll be honest with you, village chief, you are as kind to my family as a mountain, and I have nothing to hide from you......"

"This reef beach is a treasure trove, and sea amber is often washed up!"

Many people don't know the name sea amber, but when it comes to beeswax, many people know it.

Anyone who has studied jewelry is familiar with beeswax, which is not a gemstone in terms of material, but it is no less beautiful than many gemstones with brilliant brilliance.

Although sea amber is only a common name for beeswax, it is a name given by the locals casually, but the name itself is more in line with the identity of beeswax, in fact, beeswax is a kind of amber, and there is no difference between amber in physical composition and chemical composition, but because of its "color like honey, light like wax", so it was named beeswax in ancient times.

Locals call it sea amber because seaside people know that beeswax was born in the ocean, which has to start from the Eocene and Cretaceous epochs 340 million to 100 million years ago.

In the Eocene and Cretaceous eras, many conifers grew on the earth: pines and maples, these trees were lipid, and in a certain geological period, they were strongly stimulated by the outside world, secreted a large amount of lipid and fell to the ground, and with the change of the geological layer, it was buried deep underground, and then after more than 30 or 40 million years of stratum pressure and heat, these lipids were petrified into amber.

After the formation of amber, in the long years, it has experienced various trials such as the rise and fall of the earth's crust, the sun and rain, and the impact of glaciers and rivers, some of which are exposed to the surface of the earth, and some of which are buried in the ground.

Due to heavy rainfall, many of the amber that has been exposed to the surface has been washed into the sea to become sea amber, and some have been washed into the lake to become lake amber, and then buried in the ground to become mineral amber.

These ambers can be called beeswax, but sea amber tends to be the purest in texture, because of the material, seawater does not harm them, but can purify and clean them.

The most famous of these is the Baltic Sea coast, where 80% of the world's total production is produced, and some seaber is produced along the coasts of China, India and Northern Europe, but it is far inferior in quantity and quality to the Baltic Sea.

Sea pobers are also produced along the shores of the Red Ocean, a local tourist attraction where visitors come in search of this beautiful marine treasure.

There are occasional beeswax drifting in Longtou Village, but although the beeswax is beautiful, its value is far worse than that of gemstones.

Ao Muyang also picked up sea poke when he was a child, but the quantity was too small, and he couldn't pick up one or two pieces a year.

I heard Ao Zhiman say that the waves will be pushed onto the reef by Haipo, which is true, this thing is brought out of the sea by the constantly surging waves.

Ao Muyang shook his head and said, "Master Man, sea amber is not a valuable thing, and the yield is very low, how many pieces can come out all year round?"

"Who told you that you only produce a few pieces of money throughout the year?" Ao Zhiman interrupted him, and a meaningful smile appeared on his old face.

Ao Muyang said: "Okay, even if it has a relatively high yield, then what? What is the use of the development of the village? These projects I am working on now are all for the whole of our village, and for the sake of bringing the old and young masters of the whole village to make a fortune!"

The wrinkles on Ao Zhiman's face suddenly deepened, and he rubbed the rough reef with his rough palm, muttering, "Alas, I know what you mean, village chief, you bothered the village, alas. ”

Ao Muyang said: "You said that there are sea amber pushed up here from time to time, right? In this way, if you like this thing, then I will give you all the sea amber they found during the construction team, and you can also come here to search by yourself, but you must pay attention to safety." ”

Ao Zhiman nodded silently, Ao Jinfu had something to say, but he opened his mouth and saw that his grandfather didn't speak, so he also fell silent.

This matter was settled, the engineering team continued construction, and Ao Muyang began to prepare for Ao Wenchang's marriage.

As the best man, he had to wear a suit.

Because the notice was in a hurry, it was too late to customize a suit, so he went to ask, and it would take at least half a month to customize a suit.

In this way, Lu Zhizi accompanied him to the city to buy a suit and new leather shoes, and finally paired it with a narrow tie, which also made him look handsome and extraordinary.

Lu Zhizi also chose a cheongsam herself, and she also received a wedding invitation from Ao Wenchang, all the teachers had this invitation and received an invitation to attend the wedding.

Longtou Village is a closed fishing village, so many fishermen's customs have been preserved, and this time Ao Wenchang's marriage is handled in accordance with customs, which is completely different from Ao Qianlai's time.

Three days before the wedding day, Ao Qianyao and his wife began to prepare.

The first day is called the pig killing dinner, so the name suggests, that is, on this day, the pig that was raised for the banquet should be killed.

However, this is the past, in the past, every family raised pigs to subsidize the family, and when they encountered such a happy event as their son's marriage, they killed them to entertain guests.

Now the pigs don't have to kill themselves, the meat used for wine is bought in the vegetable field, Ao Qianyao invited half of the village to eat this meal, although the momentum is not as good as the pig killing rice that Ao Muyang invited for the New Year after beating the wild boar, but it is also very lively.

Because the wedding is to be held in the hometown, it is inevitable to build a tent and build a platform, so that the neighbors are willing to help, and this meal is also a bit of a thank you to the neighbors for helping.
