"So that's how it is." Fang Youqun quickly and carefully placed the salmon in his arms into the live water tank.
Xiang Yang wanted to laugh when he saw Fang Youqun's cautious look. In fact, the vitality of salmon is even stronger than that of cockroaches.
Not to mention just throwing it into the live water tank, even if you stand on the fourth floor and throw it down, it won't die.
However, Xiang Yang did not remind him. After all, many rare fish are very precious, so it is always better to be careful.
"Captain, there is a deserted island not far ahead. The navigation records show that there are many crabs on this deserted island. Should we go to the island to take a look?" At this time Xu Fang came over and asked.
"In front?" Xiang Yang raised his eyes and looked ahead. "Since it's on the way, let's go up and take a look."
As for the so-called navigation records showing that there are a lot of crabs on the island
Xiang Yang expressed his disbelief.
Because if there are really a lot of crabs on the island, those ships that have visited the island would definitely choose to make a fortune quietly and would never tell anyone.
The crew members worked together and quickly cleaned up the catch on the deck into different categories.
The total amount is about 20,000 kilograms, which is a considerable income.
After the catch was cleaned up, the fishing boat arrived at the so-called deserted island.
It is a very small island, not even as big as a football field, and the tip of the island is not far from the sea level. The island may be submerged if the tide rises slightly.
"No wonder it's a deserted island." Xiang Yang muttered, jumped onto the rubber boat first, and rowed towards the island.
Although the island is small, it is not completely bare. There are a lot of weeds and dead branches from trees.
There were some dead branches half lying under the mud on the island and half exposed in the air. It could be seen that there was vegetation on the island in the past.
A group of people went up to the island. Xiang Yang turned over a few large stones and actually caught a few swimming crabs. They were all quite large, and the smallest one weighed about three or four taels.
"It's actually a treasure land." Xiang Yang became interested and ordered: "Everyone spread out and turn over every stone on the island that can be turned over. If you catch a pound of swimming crabs on this island, I will reward you ten yuan. I will reward you as much as you catch."
Although ten dollars is not a lot, there are indeed a lot of swimming crabs on this island.
Xiang Yang just turned over a few rocks, and in less than ten minutes, he caught several crabs, weighing almost two kilograms in total.
If I work in an electronics factory, I would only earn more than ten yuan an hour.
After listening to Xiang Yang's words, everyone immediately became enthusiastic and some of them acted alone or in teams, spreading out around the deserted island.
Xiang Yang himself did not move. He walked to a dead tree that was mostly buried in the mud and said with a smile, "Guess what kind of tree this is?"
Everyone shook their heads and couldn't guess.
In fact, Xiang Yang himself didn't know what kind of tree this was, because it was so rotten that it broke into pieces with the slightest touch.
A tree that has become so rotten must have obviously fallen down a long time ago.
It could be a mahogany, or it could be a tree that floated over from other places on the sea, or it could be a coconut tree, Xiang Yang thought to himself.
Xiang Yang stretched out his hand and gently pushed the dead tree.
The entire trunk broke instantly.
Xiang Yang smiled indifferently and was about to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, Fang Youqun shouted, "Hey, what is that? It's so beautiful."
"What the hell?" Xiang Yang turned his head and looked in the direction of Fang Youqun's finger.
Immediately, Xiang Yang saw a crystal clear, dark yellow object.
"Huh?" Xiang Yang's eyelids twitched. "Is this old beeswax?"
Old beeswax is a fossil of resin, named for its "honey color and wax-like sheen".
It is a type of amber beeswax, referring to the unfinished products that were mined in the early days but have not yet been cut, polished, or the beeswax that has been naturally oxidized for a long time or has been worn and played with by players for a long time and oxidized by the air to become dark yellow or orange.
Beeswax has been favored by the upper classes of various countries for thousands of years and has been portrayed as very mysterious in the cultures of various countries, but studying it is almost like falling into the clouds.
According to Tibetan Buddhism, beeswax is an extremely spiritual treasure and one of the seven treasures of Buddhism. With the help of it, the effectiveness of spiritual practice is doubled. Tibetan Buddhism likes to use it to make Buddhist beads, and believes that beeswax has a strong spiritual effect.
According to traditional medicine, old beeswax is a good medicine that can calm the nerves, act as a diuretic, and treat rheumatism.
my country's ancient book "Classic of Mountains and Seas" says "wear it and you will not get sick", which means you will not get sick easily if you wear it regularly.
However, there are not many real old beeswax in the world, and there is no internationally recognized standard, so it is not very convenient to trade and communicate. Many people also regard beeswax as a type of amber, so it is not easy to find it.
Old beeswax is formed through the vicissitudes of time, silently condensing the essence of thousands of years.
Some beeswax is completely transparent, while others are slightly ethereal.
Beeswax has a delicate texture. Holding a string of it in your hand, the feeling is hard to describe, just like touching a layer of grease.
Fang Youqun looked at Xiang Yang in confusion, "Old beeswax? What is that?"
"A very valuable thing, the price is about three times that of the same amount of gold." Xiang Yang walked over and took the small piece of beeswax in his hand. Ordinary beeswax is slightly cheaper than gold, about three or four hundred yuan per gram, but the price of old beeswax is at least one thousand yuan per gram.
The piece in Xiang Yang's hand is as big as the bottle cap of a thermos cup and shaped like an irregular sphere. He held it in his hand and felt it slightly. It weighs about half a pound.
The reason why beeswax is so valuable is that it is a non-renewable material, and the more it is mined, the less it will be.
Secondly, collecting old wax is not an easy task.
Besides, there was not much beeswax originally, and in the old days beeswax was an ornament exclusively for the nobility.
The color of old honey wax is like honey. Honey wax is amber, but its color is different from the translucent amber. It is opaque or semi-opaque, and it is opaque because it contains a high level of succinic acid, so merchants call it honey wax.
Therefore, the function of real honey wax is the same as that of amber. After wearing honey wax for a long time, due to the influence of human body temperature, the succinic acid will be reduced and it will slowly turn into transparent amber.
There are several types of old beeswax circulating in the world, mainly divided into old beeswax handed down from Tibet, old beeswax from Kesmir, Afghanistan and other places, old beeswax from India and other places, old amber beeswax from Europe and other places, as well as old beeswax auspicious objects and ornaments from the Ming and Qing Dynasties in my country.
There is an episode in "Ultimate Notes" where Zhang Rishan takes the heroine to buy something. The heroine falls in love with a piece of blood-stained jade. Because the jade came from underground and turned red, Zhang Rishan considered it unlucky. In fact, the jade was just a piece of old beeswax.
Xiang Yang turned his head and looked at Chen Qingsheng.
Chen Qingsheng immediately understood, "Captain, I'll call someone over right now to dig out all the dead trees here."
