Chapter 637: Ambergris

"Big head, small head, don't be idle, you two, go catch two big fish! Let your father Peng make us a delicious! Xiao Peng, we count on you for lunch. We are moving forward at full speed!" Yang After he finished speaking, he immediately lowered the mainsail, adjusted the course, and drove along the course.
And Xiao Peng went back to the cabin to cook and eat, subject to the conditions on board, to make simple meals. After a while, wait for the two tiger-head sea eagles to catch the fish and make a sashimi.
It is said that the sailing of two people is indeed much more comfortable than that of one person. At least Yang Meng went to steer Xiao Peng and had more free time, all kinds of tweet scenery.
In fact, Yang Meng is also doing this at ordinary times, but he uses Weibo-his Weibo is followed by many domestic girls. He counts on this pick-up girl!
But when Xiao Peng's meal was ready, he didn't wait for the tiger-headed sea eagle to catch the fish.
When Xiao Peng walked out of the cabin, he saw Yang Meng pinching his waist and training two big sea eagles: "You two idiots, let you go catch the fish. You are fine. If the fish is not caught, let’s not say, but also caught a big plastic foam. ! Your work attitude is extremely problematic! Believe it or not, I won't give you fruit? Huh?"
Xiao Peng saw that there was a huge white object on the partition in the middle of the hull. It could be two meters long, one meter wide, and more than half a meter thick. It looked really like plastic foam, with two bald eagles low. Turning his head, listening to Yang Meng's reprimand.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Peng walked out with the dinner plate, and handed Yang Meng a plate for him to eat first.
Yang Meng pointed to the white object and said, "I asked these two guys to catch fish, but they were good, and they brought back such a large piece of plastic foam, which disappointed me! I knew I was fishing by myself. But this The foam is also a bit strange, at least a few kilograms of weight, can this Nima float on the water?"
After speaking, he took the dinner plate and started to eat. Xiao Peng made fried pork steak with rice. The combination of things and the taste was still very good.
After listening to Yang Meng’s words, Xiao Peng did not directly answer his question. Instead, he went to the piece of
plastic foam
and picked it up and observed it carefully. After he put the
foam
in front of his nose and smelled it, he used a strange He looked at Yang Meng with his eyes: "You kid are embarrassed to scold'big head' and'two heads'? Man, if I were you, I would definitely give these two little guys the best fruit to eat now. They have done a great job!"
"Eh? Why? It would be considered a great contribution to get back a plastic foam? Now that there are so many marine garbage, picking up this stuff is not picking up our boat in minutes?" Yang Meng asked in a puzzled way.
"Pick up our boat in minutes?" Xiao Peng laughed: "Man, if that's the case, believe me, I will not do anything. Picking up this stuff at sea every day!"
Yang Meng also knew that something was wrong, and curiously asked, "What do you mean? This thing is not plastic foam?"
Xiao Peng pointed to the huge white foam and said, "You don't think this is really plastic foam? "Big head" they found good things for you, don't you know? Plastic foam? What a special thing is more expensive than gold!"
"Good thing? You said this thing could be more expensive than gold? Are you kidding me?" Yang Meng looked at Xiao Peng blankly.
Xiao Peng pointed to the white object on the protective net and said, "Don't you know that there is something called gray amber in the sea?"
Yang Meng shook his head: "Gray amber? What is it? I know both transparent amber and yellow amber and red amber. What is this gray amber?"
Xiao Peng sighed: "You idiot, don't you know Gray Amber? Then it has another name called Ambergris. You should have heard of it?"
"Ahhhhhhhhh? You said this ugly thing is Ambergris?" Yang Meng was startled. How could the Chinese people not know about Ambergris? This has been a very precious treasure since ancient times, but in China,'Ambergris' exists as a kind of medicinal material, and Western countries use'Ambergris' as a fixative for making perfume.
The best natural fixative in the world, one is ambergris and the other is musk.
"Yes, brother, what do you think this is? This is'Golden Ambergris in Water', one of the best natural fixatives in the world!" Xiao Peng gave Yang Meng the answer.
Yang Meng didn't eat anymore. He picked up the piece of ambergris and observed it carefully: "No wonder I said this plastic foam is a bit heavy. By the way, didn't you mean that this thing has a name called Ash Amber? The thing is white? Where does the'gray amber' come from? Is it not worthy of the name!"
Xiao Peng explained: "Then you first need to know what'Ambergris' is in order to say that."
Yang Meng hurriedly asked, "What the is this? Where did it come from?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "Well, this'Ambergris' is actually the baba of the sperm whale..."
"Huh?" Yang Meng was dumbfounded.
Xiao Peng asked, "Do you know that sperm whales like to eat mollusks like octopus and squid?"
Yang Meng nodded hurriedly after hearing this. He had a good time with sperm whales when he was in the North Pole. Of course he knew these things.
Xiao Peng said: "Big squid and octopus have tough jaws and tongue teeth in their mouths, which are not easy to digest. When sperm whales swallow large mollusks, these jaws and tongue teeth will be in the sperm whale’s intestines. Accumulate and stimulate the intestines, the intestines will secrete a special waxy substance that surrounds the remains of food to protect the intestines. Slowly, these waxy substances form ambergris, and the sperm whale's belly It must be uncomfortable to have such a thing, right? So, some sperm whales will spit out the ambergris, some will directly pull it out, and a small number of sperm whales will keep the ambergris in their bodies."
Yang Meng heard this and asked curiously: "You haven't said why this thing is white or not gray."
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "What are you anxious about, do you know what color this ambergris just discharged into the sea? Light black! It floats on the surface of the sea, and it gradually turns into gray, light gray, and finally changes under the action of the sea water. White, white ambergris has the best quality. It needs to be soaked in sea water for more than a hundred years and all the impurities inside can become the top grade of ambergris! The highest value is white ambergris, and the lowest is brown dragon. It’s not easy for these two little guys to find such a big piece of white ambergris--this thing is so common and not so expensive, isn’t it?"
Yang Meng listened to Xiao Peng's words, and carefully observed this large piece of ambergris in the past, and asked the question he cared most: "This thing is very valuable?"
Xiao Peng laughed loudly after hearing this: "You money fan, if you say it is valuable, this thing is really valuable. Now almost all natural ambergris are monopolized by those French luxury brands, almost one kilogram three or four. Ten thousand euros. It is about two hundred and fifty thousand yuan."
Yang Meng frowned and said disgustedly: "Isn't that valuable..."
Xiao Peng shook his finger: "What I just said was the price of ordinary brown ambergris. If you really want to talk about the price of the top-grade ambergris, the price is going up and down. It's white in China.' "Ambergris" is used as medicine, and that one gram costs more than 1,000, which is very priceless. Your piece is at least thirty or forty kilograms, tens of millions of dollars are not running."
Yang Meng blew his whistle, hurried back to the cabin, took out a large pile of fruit and placed it in front of the two tiger-headed sea eagles, but the two tiger-headed sea eagles twisted their heads, not looking at him.
Yang Meng smiled and said: "The two little guys still know how to be angry. It's OK, don't be angry, delicious fruits are here, can I apologize to you?"
Even though the two little guys still ignored him, Yang Meng also had a way to eat directly with the washed passion fruit, which was called a splash of juice.
'Ertou' couldn't stand the temptation first. Pi Dian Pi Dian jumped over, took the passion fruit in Yang Meng's hand and ate it. The big head looked at'Ertou' with disgust, and Ertou turned his head to ignore it. Look, just eat for yourself.
Not long after the big head persisted, he came over to eat.
Xiao Peng laughed: "You can do it, can this coax them well?"
Yang Meng was proud of his expression: "The best weapon for foodies is always food. Whether it is human or animal, it has been tried and tested repeatedly!"
Looking at the stiff-headed sea eagle eating the fruit, Xiao Peng's expression was full of disgust: "Tell me about you two, you are the stiff-headed sea eagle! Don't you feel ashamed?"
Yang Meng asked puzzledly, "Why is it embarrassing to love to eat fruits? Isn't this normal?"
"Normal?" Xiao Peng glared at Yang Meng: "Normal ass. Steller's sea eagles are the largest sea eagles, but when have you ever heard of them eating food other than fish? And steller's sea eagles? It's not a golden eagle. It stands to reason that I can't grab a heavy prey, but look at our two live treasures, dozens of kilograms of ambergris were brought back. Is this still a stiff sea eagle?"
Yang Meng laughed loudly, Xiao Peng puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"
"I really don't know if it's a tiger-headed sea eagle. I only know that you got these two little guys back." Yang Meng said with a smile.
Xiao Peng was shocked, really, the fact that this tiger-headed sea eagle became like this was definitely related to Spiritual Enlightenment.
Yang Meng directly moved the ambergris back into the cabin: "Xiao Peng, how do I think we can become a perfume company? Ambergris and musk are the best fixatives. We really don’t It's missing."
Xiao Peng asked curiously: "Why do you want to start a perfume company?"
Yang Meng sighed: "Don't mention it, some time ago, just buying perfume cost me money for picking up girls. I don't understand why women can be crazy about famous brand perfumes? I really can't tell the difference between this famous brand perfume and ordinary perfume. where."
Xiao Peng smiled: "Brother, you are still tender, do you think women use perfume for themselves?"
"Not for yourself? Why is that?" Yang Meng was puzzled.
"you guess!"
"I do not guess you guess guess?"
"Do you like to guess or not!"
