At that time, Huanhuan's legs should have just been rubbed by this stone.

Otherwise, even if there is a seawater buffer, the weight of more than ten is estimated to be smashed.

Speaking of this stone, it is also strange, not only does the weight not match the volume, but the feeling of getting started is not ordinary.

The surface of the stone is not smooth, but the feel of the hand is very delicate, not like touching a rough stone, but like touching a candle.

Huan Huan was about to leave the stone on the side and continue to clean the assault boat, but he smelled a faint aroma.

Although the aroma is subtle and complex, the sense of smell is sensitive, and he can still distinguish different fragrances.

The most obvious notes of amber and musk, sandalwood and pine go hand in hand with sweet and sour fruity notes, and the compound floral notes are the least subtle but not weak.

A variety of different aromas are mixed together, but they are not chaotic, each with its own level.

Many well-crafted big-name perfumes can't match this taste.

Such a wonderful fragrance actually emanates from the stone in the hand of the dean, which is seriously unreasonable!

The stone with its own aroma is not nothing, and the golden fragrant jade produced in the rice cang mountain at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi will exude a special chocolate fragrance.

Jin Xiangyu has also seen it, and the appearance is far from the piece on his hand.

Moreover, the chocolate fragrance of Jin Xiangyu is unisexual, which is completely incompatible with this compound fragrance.

Huan Huan leaned his nose close to the stone and sniffed, the fragrance was clearer and stronger than before.

The rich fragrance suddenly rushed into the nasal cavity, it was not choking at all, and it was not stuffy after smelling it for a long time, and the slightly cool fragrance was refreshing!

Huanhuan suddenly remembered the sperm whale group he encountered at sea, could this be the legendary ambergris?

Ambergris, which is produced on the sea, was mistaken for saliva from a dragon while sleeping in ancient times, when science and technology were not developed.

In fact, ambergris has nothing to do with dragons, except that sperm whales may be as large as dragons.

Ambergris is actually a combination of sperm whale secretions and food debris.

Sperm whales feed on squid and octopus, and fail to digest the beak bones of squid and octopus, and will spit out or excrete them after forming solids with secretions in the intestines.

The ambergris that had just been spit out was black and soft, and the smell was very unpleasant, as evidenced by the remaining fishy smell in the assault boat.

Ambergris is less dense than sleeping, so after being expelled by sperm whales, it floats on the sea, and after being washed by sunlight, air and sea water for many years, it will harden and fade before it evolves into a real ambergris.

The longer you spend at sea, the lighter the color of the ambergris will be, and the higher the quality grade.

Light black and yellow-brown ambergris is the lower grade, medium ambergris is gray or light gray, and white ambergris is the highest grade, which is the upper grade.

The ambergris in his hand, which is nearly white in color, has been drifting on the sea for at least more than a hundred years.

Only the top-quality ambergris can be dried without any treatment, and the fragrance will come out.

The reason for judging the grade of ambergris from the color and epidermal odor is obviously insufficient, and there are more reliable ways to identify it.

The first is to look at the density of ambergris, which has the highest grade floating on the water, and the average quality suspended in the water, and most of the products that sink to the bottom are fake and shoddy.

This piece of ambergris certainly belongs to the former, and if it weren't floating on the sea, it wouldn't have been swept into the assault boat by the waves.

The second can be tested with an embroidery needle, which is used to prick the needle into the ambergris after it has been burned red on the fire with the tip of the needle, and then the needle is immediately pulled out.

When the needle is withdrawn, a drop of ambergris juice in the shape of a drop will be attached to the tip of the needle.

If the needle cannot be easily and smoothly inserted into the incense, or the needle will stick after insertion, or the needle tip will not be carried with the fragrance after the needle is withdrawn, as long as any of the above conditions occur, it is either counterfeit or adulterated or low-quality ambergris.

When the needle was pulled out of the ambergris, there was a big ambergris oil bead hanging on the tip of the needle, and it was fragrant.

When the third ambergris is burned, it emits a blue flame when burning, and there is a yellow-green fluorescence phenomenon, and the aroma is overflowing and long-lasting fragrance when burning.

I broke off a small piece and lit it, and sure enough, it was a blue-green flame, and the fragrance was very good, and it lasted for a long time.

No wonder it is said that ambergris is precious and abnormal, just by virtue of its diffusion and durability, it is impossible to say that it is not expensive.

Ambergris has been used as a high-grade spice since ancient times, and its price is expensive, almost equivalent to gold.

Ambergris in the feudal period of all dynasties, is the emperor's exclusive royal spice.

Only the princes and ministers who are particularly courteous have the opportunity to be rewarded with ambergris by the emperor.

Song Huizong also had a lack of virtue and slamming the door incident when he rewarded ambergris to the minister, and later regretted it and wanted to come back.

Ambergris is not only highly sought after in the East, but is also a precious anomaly in the West.

In the early perfumes of the West, ambergris was added directly as a raw material.

However, ambergris resources are scarce and can not be found, and only high-priced big-name perfumes will use ambergris as a raw material.

With the development of technology and economy, as well as the interference of animal protection organizations, many high-end perfume companies can no longer consume ambergris in large quantities.

Perfume companies make a solution of precious ambergris and add it to perfume as a fixative to keep the perfume taste stable and long-lasting.

In addition to being used as a raw material for spices and perfumes, ambergris is also a very valuable traditional Chinese medicine.

In traditional Chinese medicine, ambergris has many benefits.

One can invigorate qi and blood, disperse knots and relieve pain, and dilute water; Second, it can invigorate blood and qi, benefit essence and aphrodisiac; Third, it can wake up and calm down.

Many of the prescriptions that I want to prepare need ambergris, and I have not been able to find a good quality ambergris, so I can only use musk instead.

This piece of ambergris has nearly ten catties, and the dispensing must not be exhausted, and Duan Huan plans to use it to make incense.

Sandalwood, agarwood, musk, ambergris these four precious spices are all together, of course, you have to practice the incense recipes in ancient books.

Duan Huan put the ambergris in the wooden building, planning to seal it after the moisture in the ambergris dried.

It's not that I'm afraid that the aroma will evaporate and disappear, and the ambergris fragrance won't fade over time.

Strong malleability, will dye everything around the fragrance, now put it on the bookcase, the whole study is full of fragrance.

After cleaning the assault boat, I went to the hot spring pool for half an hour.

After soaking in hot water for half an hour, I took ambergris after going ashore, and the aroma has not completely disappeared.

With the faint residual fragrance, I enjoyed this sleep, slept very comfortably, not to mention making up for the lack of sleep after staying up late, and had a sweet dream.

I woke up at half past seven the next morning, and I didn't get out of the space until I practiced my fists and kicks.

With the Great Wagni Substitute, it has become much easier to get around, except for some particularly narrow roads, and there is basically no need to ride a horse.

The speed of driving is not fast, and when I arrived in Yangcheng, I just caught up with the lunch meal.

Hungry and happy, I went directly to the Yangcheng Restaurant, which has the reputation of "the first food in Yangcheng".

There is no need to think about the Manchu and Han banquets in Yangcheng Restaurant, not to mention the lack of raw materials in this era, and the ingredients for the Manchu and Han banquets cannot be gathered.

Even if the materials are ready, I don't dare to order a full Han banquet, and it is a waste that one person can't eat.

Finally, I ordered a few signature dishes, Wenchang chicken, crab soup dumplings, Shawan raw milk tart, and coconut emperor crispy corners.

Originally, I looked at the simple version of the winter melon cup on the next table, but the amount of winter melon cup was too big to eat, so I had to regret replacing it with coconut chicken soup.

After eating and drinking, I went to the train station first and bought a train ticket to Fujian Province.

For long-distance travel across provinces, it is safer to take the train.

Now the highway is not a national highway or a provincial highway, the road condition is not very good, there is no GPS system, the map road signs can not keep up with the actual situation, driving a long-distance car is extraordinary.

The most important thing is that there is a limited amount of gasoline in the space, so use a little less, and try to save as much as possible.

The tickets I bought departed at 6 p.m., and I still had an afternoon to enjoy myself in Yangcheng.

After driving around the city for a long time, I didn't find a way to entertain myself, so I simply changed into men's clothes and went to the cultural relics store I went to last time.

There are so many dollars and Hong Kong dollars in the space, and it is a depreciation to put them in vain, so it is better to buy more antiques that are destined to appreciate.

There is no shortage of foreign currency in my pocket, and I have the confidence to go into the cultural relics store to sweep the goods now.

After entering the store, I found that the last salesperson was still on duty, and I slapped three stacks of American knives and two stacks of Hong Kong dollars on the table.

The sales clerk's marketing style is to resolutely not let her go out without spending all the money she has shown.

I swept all the counters in the store, including the warehouse.

At the price of 30,000 US dollars and 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, he swept a cart of antiques and antiques, and drove away satisfied.
