Chapter 323 The Wonder of Ambergris

Not every time you go to sea, you can encounter new things, even if you come to a new sea area, you can encounter some new things.But in the following two days, Zhuang Haiyang and his comrades felt that there was no difference between here and other places.

Seeing the last net of fish being pulled onto the boat, Zhuang Haiyang immediately ordered Wang Yanming to sail home.As before, as long as the water tank is full of fish and crabs, there is no need to stay at sea.If the catch is salvaged, there is no place to put it or raise it!
While the other comrades began to wash up briefly, waiting to eat and go home to take a quick shower, Zhuang Haiyang stayed in his lounge, looking at the few mounds of ore blocks in front of him, and was going to try it out So fragrant.

"Looking at it like this, the moisture should be about the same. Take some off and burn it to see what's going on!"

Compared with when they were first salvaged on the boat, these ambergris were sticky to the touch and full of foul smell.Now that it has turned into a lump, although the stench can no longer be smelled, there is no fragrance.

Also seeing this kind of thing for the first time, Zhuang Haiyang also felt a little guilty.It would be embarrassing if you made a mistake in your judgment.In view of this situation, he must first verify it himself.

Although there was no professional aromatherapy tool on board, Kezhuang Haiyang scraped a little powder from the hard block.Find a small iron sheet, place some powder on the iron sheet, and then burn the powder on the iron sheet with an alcohol lamp.

As the iron sheet began to heat up, the powder gradually released smoke visible to the naked eye.To Zhuang Haiyang's delight, when he smelled the smoke that rushed into his nasal cavity, he quickly felt that the smoke was very fragrant, an indescribable fragrance.

"Haha, it seems that I read it correctly, this thing is really ambergris. This fragrance is indeed very different!"

As seen on the Internet, Zhuang Haiyang, who is a practitioner, can also feel this fragrance, which makes his mind more stable.And the aura cultivated in the body seems to have become much more stable under this strange fragrance.

"It seems that this thing really has the effect of calming the nerves and calming the mind. It's a good thing!"

The other comrades who were resting on the boat soon stretched their noses and sniffed, "What is so fragrant?"

"Let's cook in the kitchen! But this smell doesn't feel like the smell of food!"

"Fart! It's so early in the morning, how could Lao Wu make dinner so early? Why is this fragrance the same as perfume?"

Even Zhuang Haiyang didn't expect it, even though he didn't ignite much powder.But the smoky aroma produced by these powders spread to the entire ship.Even Wang Yanming, who was staying in the cockpit, was attracted by the sudden strange fragrance.

It stands to reason that a salvage ship that has been soaking in the sea all year round often catches fish and shrimps, and the smell of fish can only be smelled when boarding the ship.But now, to smell such a strange fragrance, it's no wonder that it caught his attention.

Many comrades who were idle and had nothing to do immediately searched for the source of the fragrance.When everyone came to Zhuang Haiyang's lounge, some comrades soon said: "This place has the strongest fragrance! Could it be that those mounds are really ambergris?"

"Ask me and you'll know?"

Just when his comrades were about to knock on the door, the door was opened immediately. Zhuang Haiyang pretended to be surprised and said, "Why are you here? What happened?"

"It's all right! Don't you smell a fragrance?"

"I smell it, what's the matter?"

"You made it? That stuff, is it really ambergris?"

"Then it can still be fake! Can't it? I'll just scrape some powder, and the aroma will still spread to the whole boat?"

"Hey! If you didn't smell it, do you think we would come over? I never thought that such a stinky thing would become so fragrant. Is this stuff like stinky tofu, which smells stinky and tastes good?"

When one comrade said this, the other comrades immediately pretended to vomit: "Can you stop talking? If you keep talking, who will dare to eat stinky tofu in the future! This is the excrement of sperm whales, not stinky tofu, no food!"

The comrade who was bullied immediately said: "Oh! It should be said that it smells bad and burns incense, right?"

Hearing the ridicule of these comrades in arms, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "It seems that this thing is indeed a good thing for making spices. In the future, let's stay on the boat and rest. As long as we burn a little, we should be able to sleep more comfortably. ?”

"Ocean, even if you have money, you can't spoil it like this! This is ambergris, and it's worth more than gold!"

What made his comrades angry was that Zhuang Haiyang smiled and said: "It's okay! I heard that the fragrance of ambergris can last for a long time. Let's go to sea in the future and light some every time to get rid of the fishy smell. Anyway, there are several mounds. Don't be afraid!"

"Okay! Anyway, it's your baby, you can figure it out yourself. Compared with falling into a dream smelling fishy smell, this fragrance is really comfortable to smell. How much did you order before? I think this fragrance seems to be It won't be gone for half a day!"

"It should be better in a closed space! When I go back, I will ask someone to see if anyone can make incense. If it is made of incense sticks, the effect will be better. You don't have to complain, someone's feet are smelly !"

"That's the truth! But you really don't plan to sell such a treasure?"

"Do you think I'm short of this money now?"

As soon as these words came out, all the comrades in arms were speechless and said to themselves: "You really deserve the face of an upstart!"

Scraping some powder from another piece of dried ambergris, Zhuang Haiyang came to the cockpit with an alcohol lamp and iron sheet.After re-igniting it in front of all comrades-in-arms, the cockpit instantly became fragrant.

Wang Yanming, who smelled the fragrance, also smiled wryly, "This cockpit suddenly smells so fragrant, I'm really not used to it!"

In any case, after this verification, everyone realized why ambergris was so expensive.Compared with ordinary perfume, this kind of fragrance makes people feel more comfortable.Being in it, it really makes people feel that the air is much fresher.

You know, staying on board every day, even if the sanitation is cleaned and maintained very well.Even after returning home from sea every time, the bedding on the boat will be cleaned again.But after living on the boat for a few days, the smell is still very bad.

But now, just igniting some powder will fill the whole boat with a soothing aroma.Some people have bought air fresheners before, but the problem is that as long as they go out to sea, those things won't last long.

Unless you spray it all day long, air fresheners are very effective.In contrast, these powders of ambergris can spread throughout the entire boat, and even smell the fragrance in the air for a while.

Through this kind of verification, no matter how stupid people are, they will know that the few mounds that have been dried by Zhuang Haiyang for a few days are really rare ambergris.Apart from envy, many comrades-in-arms also feel that with this on board in the future, boarding and living on board will become more comfortable.

When the salvage ship arrived at Nanshan Island, Zhuang Haiyang also put the dried ambergris back into the safe on the second floor of his home.As for looking for someone to inspect or something, I can go to Zhao Penglin's manor tomorrow when I have time.

The few pieces of ambergris that I picked up were of different sizes and colors seemed to be a little different.When he came back this time, Zhuang Haiyang also planned to ask someone to see what grade the ambergris he picked up was.

If Zhao Penglin and others are interested, he can sell some appropriately.Or, simply ask them to find a master to make corresponding incense sticks.If you really want to scrape off the hard block every time you burn it, it probably won't take long to scrape off one piece.

The most important thing is that he has learned that ambergris is helpful for spiritual practice, and Zhuang Haiyang does not intend to sell too much of it.Even if Zhao Penglin and others needed it, he would only sell a small piece for them to share, so as to win the relationship between them.

"Such good things can't be too much!"

Looking at the collections piled up in the safe, Zhuang Haiyang also felt that the big safe he bought might not be enough soon.There are also giant clams that were wrapped in tarpaulins and thrown in a corner of the room, all of which are rare treasures.

To maximize the benefits of these things, Zhuang Haiyang really needs to make a good plan.Fortunately, at this stage, he doesn't need to be too impatient.At least at this stage, he still needs to continue to work hard at sea before he retires.

After putting away his things, Zhuang Haiyang returned to the salvage ship, and with several comrades in rotation, he continued to go to the small town to sell fish products.As a result, after the fisherman boarded the boat, someone asked, "Brother Zhuang, did you still spray perfume on this boat?"

"Boss Zhu, you have a good nose! When I was packing up my things just now, a comrade in arms smashed a bottle of deodorizing perfume. It hasn't evaporated yet, and it may take a while. The smell is still good. Bar?"

"Not to mention! Staying on your boat, I really can't smell that kind of fishy smell. But I always feel that I'm not used to it!"

"I deal with fish, shrimp and crab every day, without the fishy smell, how can I get used to it?"

Listening to the gossip of these fishermen, Zhuang Haiyang also knew that the fragrance of ambergris could indeed last for a long time.This also means that if you really want to go to sea in the future, you can order some in the cabin the first day, and it may last for several days!

After a long time, maybe this salvage ship of my own will also make the people on board feel comfortable physically and mentally.However, he didn't intend to spread the word about ambergris either.Isn't it good to keep such a good thing for yourself?

After selling the fish, Zhuang Haiyang looked at all the income that had arrived in the account, and said in a timely manner: "Squad leader, let's go back!"

As for Wu Xingcheng who came with the boat, he returned to the community where his girlfriend lived in Chen Zhong's car as usual.As far as he is concerned, in the days when he is not out at sea, he will spend more time in the town.

The reason for this is also very simple, that is, he doesn't want his girlfriend who came with him to feel too lonely staying alone in a relatively strange place.Although there is a job, it will take time for the girlfriend to adapt to the environment here.

Regarding this point, Zhuang Haiyang can naturally understand, and even often creates conditions for him.In the past, Wu Xingcheng was still in charge of food on the island.These days, he rarely returns to the island unless tourists are coming.

Zhou Hongjie, the cook, is usually in charge of the cafeteria, so it doesn't matter if he is there or not.And Wu Xingcheng also felt that if he really wanted to stay on the island every day, he was afraid that Zhou Hongjie would also worry that this job would be lost sooner or later!
