Chapter 491: Agarwood continued
readx;??? ps: Thank you for the big reward. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info or slow to update, no time to change, always feel that the writing is not good, the heart is not steady.
There was nothing wrong with the GPS, they got in the car and drove in the direction of the mountain beam that Wu Di saw sticking into the sea for about ten minutes, and then they saw a small fishing village with a few lights on.
Sparrow found a house that was more dilapidated and knocked on the door, thinking that this kind of person should be more likely to be impressed by money. It was an old man who opened the door, and at first looked at them warily, and then leaned against the door and asked them what they meant.
The old man's accent was very strong, and the two sides talked and compared for a long time before Wu Di and the others understood what he meant. They are all real fishermen here, and they don't do this kind of business of going out to sea. And even if someone wanted to, they couldn't do it, because the fishing boats had been out to sea collectively for a few days, and the village now not only has no boats, but also lacks young adults.
Wu Di said thank you in disappointment, and was about to try his luck with another one, when suddenly, a half-sized man squeezed out from under the old man and said:
"Grandpa, didn't Uncle Hai's boat come back in the morning?"
This kid's Mandarin is not bad, at least they can understand it. The old man smiled and slapped the little fellow and said:
"Your Uncle Hai has been out to sea for a week this time, so I'm afraid that I'm sleeping in the house, right? It's useless for you to go, he won't go out with you. ”
"It's okay, it's really not good, let's give more money, the main thing is that we have never been to sea, and tomorrow will be busy, I'm afraid there will be no chance."
The half-grown man rolled his eyes slyly and asked:
"How much can you pay?"
Wu Di touched his head with a smile and asked rhetorically:
"Little one, how much do you want?"
"How much do I want? I want a lot of money, so that I can take my grandfather to the city to buy a house to live in, and I can buy a lot of fun toys. It's a pity that Abba is not at home, and we don't have a boat. ”
"Little guy, why don't you take us to Uncle Hai. If you can move Uncle Hai, how about I give you money to buy fun toys? ”
"Ah Qiang, you can't ask for your uncle's money, be careful that your Abba comes back and spanks you!"
The old man snorted, and then said:
"Forget it, let Ah Qiang accompany you on a trip, and ask Ah Hai if he is willing to go to sea with you, if you really can't help it, you can only wait until the next time you come over, as long as it's daytime. The marina in town should have fishing boats and yachts. ”
Uncle Hai is a sturdy and thin middle-aged man, and unlike the old man guessed, he hasn't slept yet, and he is packing up his fishing boat. The weather is good during this period of time, we must take care of it quickly, see if we can go to the sea again in the short term, and there is time to rest, but if you miss the fish flood for half a month, the harvest of each time you go to sea will be much less.
Guided by the light. Ah Qiang took Wu Di directly to Uncle Hai's boat, and after some exchange, Wu Di took out 20,000 yuan, and Uncle Hai took them out to sea for three hours. Ten times under the net, all the things that were caught belonged to Wu Di.
"Let's go, I'll take you to another boat, this one is a deep-sea fishing boat. You can't go around the sea. ”
Ah Hai called out to a young man from the big boat, and took Wu Di around to the other side of the improvised dock, where a black-lit ship was parked. The fishing boat was several sizes smaller than the boat they had just seen.
"Now it's getting harder and harder to catch fish, there's no catch in the offshore waters, and there are fewer and fewer fishing boats with a small operating radius, so if you come a month or two late, maybe I'll have sold it."
Uncle Hai looked at this fishing boat and sighed very emotionally, this boat used to be the treasure of his family, and now, he can only take it for a ride, and casually cast two nets to entertain these young masters and young ladies from the city.
Meng Yao secretly gave Ah Qiang 500 yuan, sent the little guy home, and then waited on the dock for ten minutes, Uncle Hai beckoned them to get on the boat, and they could go.
From this side to the sea area that Wu Di saw just now, to bypass the mountain beam that stretched into the sea, Uncle Hai controlled the direction while communicating with Wu Di, and half an hour later, Wu Di saw the water agarwood sinking on the bottom of the sea again.
"Okay, let's go down this strip and hope to catch more fish. I haven't tried to go out to sea yet. ”
Uncle Hai shook his head, people who have never lived at sea will not know the hardship,
"It's hard work to go to sea, but we grew up by the sea, and if you don't want to fish, you have to be seafarers, and you people from big cities are not as good as you."
The fishing nets on this boat were mechanically controlled, and when they were cast, they covered a large area of the sea, and Wu Di watched as the fishing nets with lead sinkers quickly sank to the bottom of the sea, and then began to slowly tighten as the fishing boat slid down. Suddenly, the bottom of the sea was like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed, and countless small fish came out from all corners, and the fishing nets that were still dragging the bottom made the bottom of the sea turbid.
"There are no fish in the offshore waters now, so our fishing grounds are far from shore, and if you rush from here, you have to drive all day just to drive the boat."
Uncle Hai smiled and threw a few fish into the fish basket on the side, then pulled the net hard and stood aside.
Because Wu Di asked for continuous netting, the second net was worse than the first net, and not a single fish was caught. Looking at the empty fishing nets, Meng Yao muttered with some dissatisfaction:
"Adi, don't be blind, listen to Uncle Hai, maybe we can catch some fish."
"Hehe, even if you fish it up, you don't have a place to do it, it's enough to have a few of them, why do you want so much?"
"I have a place to do it, and Lady Aqi can do it there."
Ah Qi is the proprietress of the private restaurant where Wu Di and they just ate, I really don't know how this girl could become friends with her, hasn't she always looked down on those dusty women?
"Ah Qi has long since changed his ways, and the friend that the fat man said also likes her very much, but unfortunately he is already married, so the two of them are so unclear...... Adi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. ”
Wu Di smiled bitterly and hugged the little girl, it was very cool for the two pairs to fly, but as soon as these specific problems were involved, it would be troublesome, and they had to find a way to solve this problem, did they really want to apply for an Arab nationality?
The third net netted the huge piece of agarwood, and Uncle Hai, who had a relaxed expression, glanced at the tight wire rope, screamed excitedly, and ran towards the bow of the boat.
The steel cable slowly pulled the fishing net out of the water, and with the spotlight on the boat, Uncle Hai saw that a big black stone had been fished up, and he couldn't help but laugh a little, and shouted at the wheelhouse:
"...... the net"
Wu Di grabbed him, joking, I spent 20,000 yuan for this thing, otherwise you really think I have nothing to do with going to sea in the middle of the night to play?
The stone was thrown on the deck, and Uncle Hai saw clearly that it was a piece of wood, and couldn't help but wonder a little, how could the wood sink into the water? Then he was relieved again, maybe he was floating on the water, and he didn't see it when it was dark?
He pushed hard, but the wood didn't move. Wu Di knew that the agarwood was sinking like water, and this piece was so big, it should be a little heavy, so he hurriedly beckoned the robot cat and the sparrow to come forward to help. As a result, the four of them used all their strength to reluctantly free the fishing net, and Uncle Hai commanded the fishing net to be thrown into the sea again, and then knocked on the wood with one hand, while sighing in amazement.
"I'm afraid this thing isn't much lighter than a stone, right? Strange, what kind of wood is this?
Wu Di had already seen clearly when he helped just now, this was indeed a piece of water agarwood. This will come up and look at the texture of the wood, and can't help but nod, this piece of wood should have at least a hundred years of life, this is really a treasure.
Agarwood is a wood, spice, and traditional Chinese medicine. When the heart of the agarwood plant is stimulated by trauma or fungal infection, it will secrete a large amount of resin with a strong fragrance. Because of their high density, these parts are also known as "water agarwood".
After the agarwood tree begins to produce incense due to disease, it will go through a long growth period, which will take at least a few years to more than ten years, but a high-quality agarwood will take decades or even hundreds of years to form, so the output is very small, and the market is in short supply, which is very precious.
And this piece of wood has grown for at least hundreds of years after it has been fragrant, how precious should it be? Wu Di felt the texture of the surface with his hands and observed with her perspective eye. After a moment, he took a light breath, and the whole piece of wood was basically soaked in resin, which meant that almost every part of this piece of wood was superb!
The best agarwood is sold by the gram, especially more than five hundred years, the value of one gram far exceeds gold, this piece is so big, how much should it be worth!
"This wood is so weird, Adi, is it really heavy?"
Meng Yao came up and pushed gently, but of course the wood did not move.
"It's very heavy, estimated to weigh almost a ton, I think this texture should be relatively dense, wait for us to pull it back, find someone to make a piece of furniture or something."
Meng Yao opened her mouth and saw that Uncle Hai had been watching from the side, so she didn't say anything. Wu Di, this guy, must know what this is, it must not be as simple as he said, maybe this is what he went to sea for! As for the black light, how did he know that there was such a thing on the bottom of the sea a few kilometers offshore, it was not something she could care about, anyway, this guy was weird and weird, there must be a problem!
The fishing boats laid three nets in a row in this sea area, and only a few dozen fish were caught, not to mention the oil money, and even one person's labor could not afford to pay for it. Seeing that there were still a few taels of nets left, Meng Yao, who had long lost interest in that strange piece of wood, shouted that she wanted to change places, and she wanted to try it in a slightly deeper place.
Uncle Hai looked at the time, there is still more than an hour before the time to return, it doesn't matter, he received 20,000 yuan, he didn't catch any fish, what is it to run more?
"Uncle Hai, how far do you estimate our place from the shore over there?"
Seeing that the fishing boat was diagonally circling a semi-circular arc, ready to sail to the deep sea, Wu Di suddenly remembered the problem of the previous distance, and hurriedly pulled Uncle Hai.
"It's not easy to say, because the sea is ebb and flow at any time, but if it's here, it should be about four or five kilometers away." (To be continued.) )
