Chapter 270: The Fat Man's Ambition
According to the fat man's guess, something that is lighter than water and like a stone in the sea is probably ambergris. Whether ancient or modern, ambergris is a rare gift from nature. Ancient science and technology are not yet prosperous, so when the fisherman dedicated this thing to the emperor, he didn't know what it was, and when he came to the priest to take a look, he said that it was the dragon in the sea sleeping and dripping saliva, so it was named "ambergris".
In fact, ambergris is not a dragon's saliva, but a secretion from the sperm whale's intestines, formed after being excreted from the body, and is known for its rich and long-lasting aroma. Since Brother Badou suspects that these two things are ambergris, of course he must smell them carefully.
However, when he put his nose up and inhaled vigorously, a fishy and smelly smell rushed straight to his brain, almost smoking the fat man to the back, and quickly straightened up his waist and inhaled heavily.
Where is this ambergris, it's just ambergris!
The fat man accidentally suffered a big loss, lying on the edge of the lifeboat and retching vigorously. Diao Lao Er also came back from his contemplation, slapped the fat man's back twice, and Brother Badou spit out.
"Oh mom, hurry up and throw those two stinky things!" The fat man was a little angry. And Diao Lao Er grabbed a piece and studied it, he has followed Diao Lao Man and Diao Lao San for so many years, he has been exposed to it, and his knowledge is also extraordinary, it seems that he has seen something similar in Diao Lao Man, but that piece is only an inch, which is like these two big guys?
"It's ambergris, we'll know when it's dried." Diao Lao's second child has more experience than the fat man, so he is not willing to throw it. And Brother Badou was bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and he was far away from those two stinky things. I'm afraid I'll be disgusted again.
At this time. The freighter has already begun to urge. The fat man was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he hurried back to the big ship, asked for the coordinates here, and secretly remembered it in his heart, so he could only wait for the opportunity to come again in the future.
As for the two stones, they only said that they were floating on the surface of the sea and looked strange and fished up. Although the crew members are well-informed, they have also heard of ambergris. I didn't see it in person, so it's just a gossip guess: if it's really ambergris, it's developed, and such two big pieces are only worth tens of millions.
You know, although the use of modern scientific and technological means has been analyzed the composition of ambergris, and can be synthesized artificially. However, natural ambergris is still irreplaceable, because of some of its special ingredients, so that the perfume made of ambergris forms a long-lasting film after being applied to the surface of the skin, so it will make the fragrance more durable.
And with the decrease in the number of sperm whales in the ocean. Ambergris is also becoming increasingly rare. And ambergris is not a thing that can be used when sperm whales are excreted. It must be rinsed in the sea for decades and hundreds of years to remove the impurities inside and turn it into real ambergris. Now the annual volume is less than 100 kilograms, so the price has also climbed repeatedly.
The freighter continued to sail, and the fat man lay on the deck to bask in the sun when he was fine, but in fact searched the bottom of the sea. It was also an eye-opener for him to see a wide variety of marine life. However, as for the shipwreck, I have never seen one again - compared to the vast sea, even if thousands of shipwrecks fall to the bottom of the sea, trying to find them is not much different from looking for a needle in a haystack, and the probability is absolutely very low.
It seems that in the future, if you have nothing to do, you will have to get a cruise ship to go around the world - the fat man's unplanned expenses have added the cruise ship to it. But others buy cruise ships for pleasure, and he buys them for treasure hunting.
Three days later, the ship finally docked at a port in the Bohai Sea, and the treasure arrived safely. When I arrived in China, the fat man was completely relieved: he was finally home-
In the afternoon of this day, the fat man finally stood at the gate of Lao Laile, it was the hottest time of the day, and the sun was smoking, so there was no one at the door. But all this is so familiar and intimate in the eyes of your fat man, especially in Europe, after going through so many things and dangers, returning here, can be regarded as really arriving at the harbor where he stays. So he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart anymore, and yelled: "I'm back—"
I saw a head sticking out of the gate and taking a look, it was Wu Laoer, and now Badou School has officially entered the summer vacation, so he has returned to the nursing home to watch the door.
"Where's the rhubarb?" Wu Lao Er muttered a sentence in his mouth, as if he didn't see the fat man, and retracted his head.
Then, Gao Tian also probed out to take a look: "What about the big and small ones-"
"I'm back!" The fat man roared again, and then saw Gao Tian also retract his head.
These two guys are confused, right? The fat man thought so in his heart, and then he saw the old stubborn man come out of the door with a big fan and come straight to him. The fat man happily greeted him, but saw the old stubborn man walking past him, and shouted: "Monkey handsome, you little monkey cub, you want to kill me-"
The fat man suddenly realized that these guys must have done it on purpose. So he rushed directly into the door, and a black shadow rushed into his arms, and the Labrador little black tongue greeted the fat man's face. Then a round ball rolled over, hugged the fat man's thigh and chirped vigorously, who is it not a bottle? There were also a few hoarse shouts from the trees, "Old Bean, Old Bean", and the crow was also a little wilted, and his cries were weak. Brother Badou laughed: "It's still good for you, express your feelings directly, no one has so many twists and turns-"
This sentence annoyed the old man and the old lady who were enjoying the shade under the tree in the courtyard, and they all gathered around him, accusing the fat dog of not being able to spit out ivory in his mouth. Brother Badou smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, I specially brought you a lot of gifts from the Europa continent, the old lady has a bottle of French perfume, and the old man has a British top hat!" ”
As he spoke, a small truck drove into the nursing home, and the rhubarb jumped out of the car with a whizz, and then ran under the jujube tree, raising his legs and preparing to pee. As a result, he was shouted at by the old revolutionary, so he rushed out of the gate and ran straight in the direction of the forest park. You can see that when they return home, they are also very excited.
Everyone rushed up and began to unload the goods from the small card, what hats, canes and the like. Wu Lao Er put on a top hat, held a civilized stick in his hand, and walked around with his figure-eight feet: "Why do I feel like Chaplin-"
When everyone was laughing, I saw that the old squad leader also came out of the house from a nap and saw the fat man. I couldn't help but snort: "Monopoly is back-"
"Pull it down. If I want to be a monopoly. As for the bare-chested. The weather was too hot, and the fat man's vest was gone, so he walked to the old squad leader naked, and the fat meat trembled and trembled, buttoned a top hat on his head, and stuffed a civilized stick in his hand: "Old squad leader, this time I can show my face when I go out, and dig up the treasure of the Nazi fascists." You want to recover the national treasure from the hands of the Eight-Nation Alliance, are you sending me some rewards on behalf of the country? Let's say okay first, don't get a certificate! ”
"I'll give you a reward right now!" The old squad leader held a civilized stick to make a gesture, and the fat man ran with his head in his hands: "Look at your old legs and feet, can you catch up with me?" ”
Even if the old squad leader recovers as before, he still can't catch up with the fat man, after all, the age is there. But when it comes to this, the old men are very happy, but the fat man shows his face this time, and every day there are many young and old reporters who come to the nursing home to inquire about the news. The newspaper is even hotter on the Internet. They all regard the fat man as their own relatives, and of course they are happy.
The group sat under the tree. While drinking tea and chatting, the old man Bai asked the fat man with a smile: "I made a fortune this time, do you want to give us a better salary, press an air conditioner in the house or something?" ”
The fat man grabbed a flutter fan and fanned him: "It's better to blow less air conditioner, and the heart is calm and naturally cool." If it really doesn't work, I'll hire two maids for you, one on the left and one on the right? ”
"This kind of hedonistic thinking is unacceptable, fat man, you have just returned from capitalist society, and I find that you have signs of corruption." The old revolution was more serious, took a few sips of the pot with his hand, and then prepared to carry out ideological and political education for the fat man.
"You pull it down, just like a fat man, it will never go bad!" The old stubborn man is very confident in Brother Badou, in fact, everyone has paid attention to the observation since the fat man entered the door, the fat man is still the original fat man, and the eight buckets are still the original eight buckets.
So after listening to the old stubborn man's words, they all nodded frequently. The old revolutionary put down the teapot slowly: "I'm just worried that the fat man will learn badly if he has two dollars-"
As soon as he heard this, the fat man felt bitter: "What kind of money do you have, cultural relics can't be realized, and it's good to have a billion and eight billion left with those things left." ”
"I'll beat you up this guy who picked up cheap and sold well!" Everyone shouted and beat one after another, and the fat man could only hold his head with both hands, like an angry little daughter-in-law: "How can this money be spent, I am still ready to open Lao Lai Le to all parts of the country, even if there is one city, you can calculate how many cities there are in our country, right?" ”
There was a brief silence in the courtyard, except for the screams of death from the trees. Suddenly, the old thunder head yelled "yes", and was shocked to learn that they had all disappeared.
After learning that the fat man had obtained the treasure, everyone was really worried that the fat man would be safe when he was rich, and now he realized that the ambition of daring to love this guy was simply terrifying. You know, in addition to those municipalities directly under the central government, there are more than 200 prefecture-level cities, nearly 400 prefecture-level cities, if you add Hong Kong and Macao and other regions, then nearly 700, if you want to open a Lao Lai Le in each city, the funds needed are only astronomical!
"If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are rich, you will help the world, and you will be good!" I saw the tattered king muttering there, not knowing whether he was talking to himself or praising the fat man, and walked into his room as he spoke.
It's not easy to get the praise of the second uncle, everyone looks at the fat man and laughs. Soon, the Tattered King came out of the house with a handkerchief and happily stuffed it into the fat man's hand. Everyone followed suit: "This must be the sponsorship fee that your second uncle heard that you are going to open a branch of Lao Lai Le." ”
The fat man opened the handkerchief bag and muttered in his mouth: "None of you can run away, and you will have to donate money to me to sponsor me when the time comes-second uncle, what is this?" ”
Everyone came over to take a look, but they hadn't seen it either, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, saying that it was picked up by the King of Rags when he was picking up the rags.
At this moment, I saw a person running in at the gate, it was Shang Ziqi, the girl, who shouted when she entered the door and asked everyone to watch a movie at night, where is the little tiger going to be grandly released in the summer vacation.
When she finished shouting, she saw the fat man, and immediately snorted: "Pay back the money, pay back the money, pay back the money quickly - fat brother, you are really rich, you actually used a promissory note from a Swiss bank, 100 million US dollars, just to repay my debts, even the principal with interest is so-so-"
What, this thing is a cashier's check, and it's 100 million dollars - the others were collectively dumbfounded, and they all looked at the tattered king in a daze. As for the Tattered King, it is still the same smile that will never change, and I can't tell whether it is innocent or profound, or the kind of return to the basics after reading all the prosperity.
