Chapter 190 Ambergris?

Li Laoer, who was still angry at first, also cursed angrily, "I'm trying to catch you, what's your business? Does the sea belong to you?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his long-handled hand to fish out the net as if he was about to fish it out. However, after a while, the floating object moved a little further away from his boat. He stretched out his long-handled hand to fish out the net, but he could barely catch it. .

But how could Father Ye let him succeed? They were the ones who discovered it first, so why should they fish it out for him? They were obviously making trouble, and everyone was fighting for it, even if it was garbage, they couldn't let it go.

Although the handle of his fishing net is too short and cannot be extended to knock the guy's net, he can paddle the water to speed up the flow of water and make the floating object float faster to prevent Li Laoer from succeeding.

Li Laoer tried to fish it out. He almost caught it, but it hit the edge of the net he was holding. He was just a little bit close, but was blown away by the waves.

He was so angry that he cursed and moved forward a little more, letting his body stick out of the boat a little more, and continued fishing.

But Father Ye kept paddling faster and faster, making it impossible for him to reach it.

Ye Yaodong was relieved for a moment. If they couldn't catch it, he couldn't catch it either.

"No wonder your yellowfin tuna fell into the sea. You are not born with such luck. Even if the money is sent to you, you can't grasp it. Maybe it's because you are too wicked or you forgot to accumulate virtue in your previous life. God can't see it. Eyes, I won’t let you get sick.”

He made a few bad words. Who told him to look for trouble? Mad, they found this rag first, but he actually wanted to cut off the beard.

"Cao Mu Ma, you guys are so immoral, I won't let you succeed."

When they couldn't catch it, Li Laoer became angry and slapped the water surface against the direction of the current to prevent the floating object from drifting towards their boat.

But his idea was doomed to fail. If one was going with the current and the other was going against the current, then the downstream must have the upper hand. After all, there were waves in the sea adding fuel to the fire.

The floating object directly skipped the fishing net in his hand and continued to float forward...

Ye Yaodong continued to sarcastically, "The best yellowfin tuna fell into the sea and became angry. Beating your wife is not enough, but you also want to vent your anger on others. Do you think you are a man? It's a pity that you caught that fish. What a waste. Then But it can be sold for a few hundred yuan. If I am so angry, I will definitely vomit blood. I can’t be so calm and still grab a piece of broken wood with others..."

Li Laoer was deprived of hundreds of dollars by his sentence about yellowfin tuna on the left and regrettable by his sentence on the right. Each sentence exposed his scars and poked his heart. The more he listened, the more uncomfortable he felt. It was already enough to regret.

"Shut up and shut up."

After paddling there for a long time, I managed to let the floating object float down the river and slowly float towards them.

Father Ye didn't care where Li Laoer was cursing, he saw the opportunity and just barely reached it, he tried his best to reach out and fish it up.

"Got it!"

He beamed with joy and picked up the net.

This is no longer a matter of curiosity, but a matter of breath.

After catching the floating objects, both father and son were overjoyed, and Ye Yaodong stopped scolding.

Li Lao Er angrily slapped the water surface hard, feeling that everything he did today was not going well. He scolded his wife again: "It's all because of you, a prodigal woman. It's bad luck that makes everything go wrong for me..."

….

The woman glared at him unconvinced, but did not dare to reply. She was really frightened by the beating just now.

Ye Yaodong was too lazy to listen to their scoldings, and all his attention was focused on the floating object that Ye's father had just fished out.

This is a gray-white waxy drift with a strong fishy odor.

Father Ye frowned, "What is this? It feels a bit fishy."

Ye Yaodong put on his gloves and reached out to take it out of the net, but his hand suddenly sank and he almost fell off the boat.

He thought it would be very light. After all, it was floating on the water and he didn't use much strength to pick it up. Unexpectedly, it sank a little.

"Even though it's floating on the sea, it's a bit heavy to buy, and it doesn't look like wood, it looks like stone but not stone."

"Well, I was unprepared and thought it wouldn't be very heavy."

Ye Yaodong got closer and smelled the strong fishy smell. He flipped the things in his hands back and forth, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Is it that thing?

Father Ye saw his eyes shining and thought he recognized him, "Do you recognize it? What is this?"

After Ye Yaodong guessed what this thing was, he turned his back to the boat next door to prevent them from seeing it, and motioned to Ye's father to go to the cabin to talk.

Li Laoer had been leaning against the side of the boat and paying attention to the father and son. He always felt that they looked strange, as if that thing was some kind of treasure?

You actually want to go to the cabin?

He quickly called to them, "Wait a minute, what did you just pick up?"

Neither father nor son looked at him.

Li Laoer endured his depression and said, "Did you hear what I said?"

Ignored again.

Li Laoer feels even more uncomfortable now. Is that some kind of treasure?

If it was garbage, they should have thrown it away long ago, right?

He craned his neck uncomfortably to look, but he couldn't see or hear anything.

As soon as he arrived in the cabin, Father Ye couldn't wait to ask, what kind of treasure is it that deserves the third child to hide in the cabin and talk about it?

[An old book friend who I have known for ten years recommended this book to me, x-on:! It’s so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time while driving or before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download it here.]

Ye Yaodong happily held the smelly waxy substance in his hand, looking back and forth, and sniffing it from time to time. After guessing that it must be that thing, he no longer felt that the smell was fishy.

This is a super big baby!

And it’s still light gray! The value is second only to white.

He grinned widely and whispered: "Dad, don't be surprised when I told you, this should be ambergris!"

Father Ye opened his mouth wide in shock, his penis tightened, ambergris? !

His hands were trembling slightly as he held out the piece of ambergris. He looked left and right. He couldn't believe it. They actually picked up a piece of ambergris?

And it’s still such a big piece!

I almost got robbed just now!

so close……

Ambergris is actually the excrement of sperm whales. Sperm whales belong to the suborder Spermacetiidae of the toothed whale suborder. They are the largest species in the toothed whale suborder. The maximum length of the male is 23 meters and the female is 17 meters long. The body is conical in shape.

In ancient times, ambergris was used as a spice in the palace or as a medicine. It was also enjoyed by the royal family. The ancient people believed that it was the saliva flowed by the "dragon" in the sea while sleeping. It dripped into the sea water and solidified. Over time, it became "ambergris".

….

After further research, it was discovered that it was sperm whale excrement.

The ambergris discharged into the sea is light black at first, and gradually turns gray, light gray, and finally white under the influence of sea water.

The ambergris taken from the intestines of a newly deceased sperm whale is light black and has no value. It must float and soak in the sea for decades before it can acquire its high status.

It is a waxy substance with a density lighter than water and will not sink.

Some pieces of ambergris soaked in seawater for more than a hundred years will turn into the most valuable white ambergris.

The lowest value is the brown one because it has only been soaked in sea water for about ten years.

The one he has is light gray to white, and the quality is already considered top quality.

White ambergris is priceless.

This trip had ups and downs, but I really made a lot of money!

The new ship is off to sea with a good start and is booming.

Father Ye held the ambergris back and forth in surprise. No wonder the third child stopped talking outside just now and wanted to come into the cabin.

"Dad, this piece is quite big. I estimate it weighs more than 20 kilograms. How much do you think this thing is worth?"

"ah?"

This is hard for Ye’s father!

He knew about ambergris and knew that it was valuable, but he really didn't know the specific price. He had never encountered it in half his life, he had only heard about it.

How could he know how much he could sell such a rare thing, and it was such a big piece? He has never sold it or seen it before, otherwise he wouldn't be able to recognize it.

"I do not know."

Ye Yaodong only knew that this thing was calculated in grams, and the price was different depending on the quality. The lowest quality price was more expensive than gold, but the current price is difficult to estimate...

"Put it away first, and we'll talk about it later. Dad, please be tight-lipped. Don't say anything to anyone when you get back, including mom. Mom always loves to save face and loves to yell. This thing is too valuable. If it gets exposed, the whole family will not be able to live in peace."

It is impossible to sell it, so I will keep it for collection.

Father Ye's joyful expression suddenly turned away. He understood the power of this thing and said in a deep voice: "I know, you can hide it when you take it back. Tell your wife to be tight-lipped. It's best not to say what it is." Just ask her not to go out and say it."

It was impossible to hide such a big thing from the person next to me, so I had to not tell what it was.

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Send the two outsiders away first, so as not to stare at us."

"Well, there are still some remaining hooks that haven't been confiscated yet."
