Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 91 Looking for Shit (please subscribe)

Zhang Yaohua stared at a white waxy thing on the sea.

That's right!The indicator arrow is facing it.

Hearing what his second brother said, he said angrily: "Think twice, I'm not interested in giant octopuses."

Zhang Yaowei and Ah Jiu were both stunned.

not interested?

So why stop? It can't be just to poop, right?

Zhang Yaohua pointed at the white object on the sea and said, "Did you see that thing? Fish it out for me."

Only then did Zhang Yaowei and Ah Jiu notice a white object not far away.

"What's that? Bubbles?"

"Not sure, let's fish it out and take a look." Zhang Yaohua shook his head.

Zhang Yaowei slowly moved the fishing boat over. Ah Jiu stood beside the boat and used a long net to fish out the thing and put it on the deck.

The thing was about the size of a football, flat and oval-shaped, and not heavy.

Ah Jiu leaned over: "It's not foam, vomit... Damn it! This thing smells a bit stinky, what the hell!"

He quickly took a few steps back.

Zhang Yaohua did not dislike it, he held it in his hands and looked at it carefully for a while.

"It won't smell bad after it dries, and it will even have a fragrance." Zhang Yaohua told him.

Zhang Yaowei: "It feels like a piece of shit."

"Your feeling is correct. It was originally a piece of shit, but now it is ambergris, a precious spice. You can only count the money by the gram." Zhang Yaohua said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yaowei and Ah Jiu looked at each other.

"Is this ambergris?"

Apparently, Zhang Yaowei had heard about ambergris.The previous ship owner told them, and I have to say that the previous ship owner was a man of rich experience.

"Ok!"

After getting his eldest brother's approval, Zhang Yaowei didn't mind it anymore and immediately took it over to take a look.The smell is a bit strong and not very pleasant.To be honest, if you find this thing in the vast sea, many people will throw it away and not think of ambergris.

"I once heard from my shipowner that ambergris is gray."

Zhang Yaohua: "Then he only knows one thing but not the other. Ambergris is light black at first, and under the influence of sea water, it gradually turns into gray, light gray, and finally white.

To turn white, it needs to be soaked in seawater for more than a hundred years, so white has the highest quality and the most expensive price. "

It has to be soaked in seawater for more than a hundred years to float out all impurities before it can become the top grade of ambergris.

Ah Jiu asked: "Then why do you say it was originally a piece of shit?"

“It’s sperm whale excrement, what is it if it’s not feces?
Sperm whales are known to eat giant squid and octopus.

Giant squids and octopuses have tough horny jaws and radulas in their mouths, which are difficult to digest. When a sperm whale swallows a large mollusk, the jaws and radulas accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract, stimulating the intestines, and the intestines secrete a A special waxy substance wraps up the remains of the food, slowly forming ambergris, which is finally discharged. "

"Then sperm whales are not often hunted?"

After all, there is precious ambergris in the sperm whale's body. You should understand why it is a crime to possess a treasure, right?

Even sharks are often slaughtered because their fins are valuable.Isn't ambergris more valuable than shark's fin?

"No, it is said that the ambergris taken from the intestines of the killed sperm whales has no value." Zhang Yaohua said.

Ambergris must float and soak in seawater for decades, even hundreds of years, before it can gain high value.

"How much is this piece worth?"

Hearing Ah Jiu's question, Zhang Yaowei also pricked up his ears.

"This white one is of high quality, and the price per gram is estimated to be thousands of yuan."

Thousands of dollars?
Ah Jiu was stunned.

How much does gold cost per gram?Three to four hundred yuan.

In other words, the price of this thing is more than three times that of gold?
I'm confused!
The piece in front of me weighs a pound or two, right?

Ah Jiu and Zhang Yaowei were calculating rapidly.

"Is this piece worth more than one million?" Ah Jiu's scalp went numb.

His parents always told him that pie will never fall from the sky!But what is it?What's not a pie?It's a golden pie.

He was really convinced by his uncle's luck.This kind of thing picked up from the sea is not a catch, so there is no need to share it with everyone.

Get rich overnight!

"Logically speaking, that's the case." Zhang Yaohua nodded.

Zhang Yaowei ran to the cabin and shook Shui Wang and Ah Hui awake from their sleep.

Shui Wang half-squinted his eyes: "No, are you sick?"

"Get up, it's a big deal."

Ah Fai slept for a while and felt much better.

"What's the big deal?"

With that said, he also pulled his brother off the bed.

"My brother found another treasure."

"Oh? What treasure did Brother Hua pick up?" Shui Wang suddenly became energetic.Last time I picked up a clam and sold it for 20 yuan. They were all greedy!I fantasize about picking up a piece or two in the future.

Unexpectedly, this time out to sea, it was Brother Hua who picked up the treasure first.

"You must have never seen a big snake poop, right?"

Shui Wang: "Huh? Have you seen it before?"

"I haven't seen it either, but I just saw whale poop."

Ah Hui didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't tell me that what your elder brother picked up was the poop of a whale."

"That's right! My brother said it's ambergris, it's very valuable..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shui Wang and Ah Hui had already rushed out.

"Brother Hua, is this ambergris?" Shui Wang asked enthusiastically.

"Yeah! It should be right."

Shui Wang held it in front of him with both hands, and the smell hit his nostrils.

"Really or not? This smell doesn't feel right!"

"It doesn't smell like this when it's dry."

Ah Jiu was telling the whole process of discovering this treasure.

After hearing this, the Shui Wang brothers also stared at each other with big eyes.

Does this work?
They looked toward the sea and saw the remains of the giant octopus.At this time, the shark has been attracted and is about to fall into pieces and have a full meal.

"Brother Hua, have you tried to buy lottery tickets?" Shui Wang couldn't help but ask.

Ah Hui sneered: "I went shopping with him at the children's amusement park in the county town that day, but we didn't win anything."

It seems that my old friend's luck lies in the sea, and things on land have no chance with him.

"Do you know how much this piece is worth?" Zhang Yaowei wanted to show off to Shui Wang.

Shui Wang was cooperative and indeed very curious.He had heard of ambergris, but he didn't know how much it was worth.

"How many?"

"It's more expensive than gold, at least 100 million."

Shui Wang and Ah Hui were speechless again.

What else can I say?
Only two words: awesome!
"Brother Hua, go and rest, I'm almost asleep." Shui Wang said positively.

Who can't see what he's thinking?

Zhang Yaohua smiled but didn't point it out.

"Then I'll go lie down for a while. Call me if you need anything." He had gotten what he wanted, and he could go to sleep peacefully.

He checked with his golden finger and found that the next piece of ambergris was far away from them!
With this kind of stimulation, Ah Hui no longer felt sleepy.Including Ah Jiu, several people stared at the sea, for fear of missing any piece of ambergris that might appear.

Ah Jiu came up with an idea: "Since ambergris is the excrement of sperm whales, wouldn't it be enough to just follow the sperm whales?"

Following the sperm whale’s butt to look for poop is a bit imaginative!

"It's not like the shit that sperm whales poop is all ambergris. Besides, didn't Brother Hua say that? That thing is worthless right after it's pooped out."
