Chapter 190: Stay with the sun and the moon forever
Wang Xiaoshan originally wanted to take a closer look at the things he just picked up in the car, but there were a lot of people outside now, and people would walk by his car from time to time.
Moreover, Wang Xiaoshan bought a pickup truck. Some people passing by would look at it curiously. There are always only a few people buying pickup trucks, and not many people drive them on the street.
The most important thing is that you can see the beautiful woman sitting in the passenger seat of Wang Xiaoshan at a glance from the windshield. Beautiful women are often seen in luxury cars, but there are still few beautiful women in pickup trucks.
It was difficult for Wang Xiaoshan not to attract attention, so he was not going to open anything and read it now. He might as well go back to the hotel first, then he started the car and went back directly.
When he went back, Wang Xiaoshan drove faster. He drove to the hotel in just an hour. After returning to the room, the two of them went to take a shower together.
Wang Xiaoshan and Li Miaomiao first rinsed the dirt off their bodies thoroughly, and then they sat on the sofa wrapped in bathrobes. Only then did he take out the things he had just picked up.
Wang Xiaoshan smelled the thing he picked up. It had a faint fragrance, but it was not very strong.
Li Miaomiao also smelled it curiously. She found that it was not a stone. The stone could not have a fragrance. It might be something else that looked like a stone.
Li Miaomiao: "What on earth is this?"
Li Miaomiao knew about some scented wood, but she thought the thing in front of her was not wood because the scent of this thing was somewhat unique.
Since Wang Xiaoshan picked it up, Li Miaomiao felt that he must know what it was.
Wang Xiaoshan: "This is a piece of ambergris, the intestinal secretion of a sperm whale!"
This piece of ambergris may have been soaked in seawater for hundreds of years. The ambergris that sperm whales just discharge into the sea is light black. Under the action of seawater, the impurities in it slowly float out.
After being soaked in sea water for a long time, the light black ambergris will gradually turn into gray, light gray, and finally white. Of course, the quality of white ambergris is the best and the highest grade.
Ambergris is lighter than water, so it will not sink. Sometimes it is washed ashore by waves. If you go to the sea to look for it, it is very difficult to find.
Although sperm whales usually eat a lot and must poop out a lot, not all of their feces are ambergris. If all they poop out are ambergris, then the ambergris is worthless.
Out of a hundred sperm whales, only about 4 have ambergris, so the sperm whales that can produce ambergris are only one in a hundred or even one in a thousand.
However, with the large-scale hunting of sperm whales by humans, the number of ambergris has become less and less, so the price of ambergris has become more and more expensive.
Everything is rare and expensive, so the price of ambergris is not cheap at all. Wang Xiaoshan once read a report that the price of one gram of ambergris is almost equal to the price of one gram of gold.
This is still of average quality. If higher quality ambergris is more expensive than gold, so if you are lucky enough to pick up ambergris, you may become a millionaire or even a multi-millionaire overnight.
So there was a saying: If you see something that looks like ambergris while walking on the beach, take it home and study it slowly, maybe it is ambergris.
Li Miaomiao took the ambergris from Wang Xiaoshan's hand and looked at it carefully, but she still didn't see any clue. She had heard of ambergris, but had never seen it before. p>
Li Miaomiao had an eye-opening experience today. She went out to catch crabs and didn't encounter any big crabs. She didn't expect to encounter a rare ambergris.
After Wang Xiaoshan handed the ambergris to Li Miaomiao, he went to eat. After playing for an afternoon, he was a little hungry. He sat and ate while watching Li Miaomiao studying the ambergris.<
/p>
Wang Xiaoshan fed Li Miaomiao a mouthful of food, and then said: "It's true, it is 100% the intestinal secretions of sperm whales, but it may be vomitus or excrement!"
Li Miaomiao: "Ambergris is a precious animal spice. It is called the heavenly fragrance and the king of spices. There is also a legend that ambergris stays with the sun and the moon for a long time!"
Wang Xiaoshan: "It's the same. I'm going to clean up and go eat. I'm hungry!"
As soon as Wang Xiaoshan finished speaking, Zhang Hanyang called.
Zhang Hanyang: "Old Wang, where are you two playing now? Let's go have dinner when you come back later!"
Wang Xiaoshan: "I'm back. I just picked up a high-end spice and I'm studying it!"
Zhang Hanyang was a little confused, where did Wang Xiaoshan and the two go to play today, and why did they pick up some spices?
Zhang Hanyang discovered that these two people were in love and went to the beach today, but neither of them was lucky enough to pick up such a rare thing.
Zhang Hanyang: "Send me a photo to see, I haven't seen this thing before!"
He had heard of the name, but Zhang Hanyang had never seen the real thing. He was also a little curious about what the ambergris that Wang Xiaoshan picked up looked like.

But Zhang Hanyang found it inconvenient to go directly to where Wang Xiaoshan lived, so he could only look at the pictures first.
Wang Xiaoshan: "If you're not far away, just come over and have a look. We'll go out for dinner together in a while."
There is a difference between looking at the real thing and looking at the photos, not to mention that Wang Xiaoshan is planning to hand over the piece of ambergris to Zhang Hanyang’s auction company for sale.
If Wang Xiaoshan wants to sell ambergris, he needs it to be appraised, and he just checked that the nearest institution qualified to do ambergris appraisal is in the Imperial Capital.
It takes a day for Wang Xiaoshan to go to the imperial capital and back. This does not include the time for appraisal. It may take two days to go for appraisal.
Wang Xiaoshan doesn't know how many days it will take to sell this rare item, and the preservation of ambergris is still a problem. If it doesn't sell for a long time and goes bad, it will be a loss.
Selling an ambergris may take several days. Instead of doing this, it is better to hand it over directly to Zhang Hanyang's auction company to auction it, saving time and worry.
Wang Xiaoshan didn't find it inconvenient to let Zhang Hanyang come over. With so many rooms, just close the bedroom door, and there is a living room in this suite.
Zhang Hanyang: "Okay, I'll be here soon!"
It happened that Zhang Hanyang was not very far from where Wang Xiaoshan lived, it could be reached by car in more than 10 minutes, and he also happened to want to see this ambergris with his own eyes.
Moreover, Zhang Hanyang has finished his work and has nothing to do anyway. We just happened to go to dinner together after reading.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiaoshan patted Li Miaomiao's butt and said, "Go and change clothes quickly, Zhang Hanyang will be here soon!"
Li Miaomiao: "Okay!"
Wang Xiaoshan quickly stuffed the bread in his hand into his mouth, took another sip of water, and then followed Li Miaomiao to the bedroom to change clothes.
