33. Ambergris (3)
Bungalows have become a forbidden word...... Qingfeng can't read...... Not much to say, collection, recommended!
***************
During the day, the adults in the village either went out to sea to fish, or in the fields, and there were not many people on the beach, except for a few children in the village who were playing on the beach, basically no one else appeared.
Li Yifan quietly dug out all these pieces of ambergris, all of them were not small, and he dug out one more piece than in his previous life, a total of four.
The children playing on the beach did not notice the scene on Li Yifan's side, they were either playing with sand or catching small crabs and shrimp on the beach.
Li Yifan quietly hid these pieces of ambergris in a rocky beach not far from the shore, buried them with stones, and marked them, the tide rises here at night, and the scene on the bottom of the sea is the same every day, if you don't dig it out today, no one can guarantee whether you can find the correct location of these pieces of ambergris tomorrow.
He wrapped the smallest piece of ambergris in clothes and took it home, the smallest piece was almost more than 20 kilograms, for fear of attracting the attention of others, he did not take this piece of ambergris back to his brother-in-law's house, but directly took it back to the ancestral houses of these families. After waiting anxiously in the ancestral house for an afternoon, after eating at his brother-in-law's house in the evening, Li Yifan said that he would go home tomorrow, and he planned to stay in the ancestral house for one night, but his brother-in-law and eldest sister didn't pay much attention to it, after all, Li Yifan was already a seventeen-year-old boy, not a child, and some of his age in the countryside had already married daughters-in-law.
After returning to the ancestral house, he patiently waited until more than eleven o'clock, when the village was already silent, Li Yifan quietly came out of the ancestral house, pushed the two-wheeled cart used for sports at home to the beach, loaded the three pieces of ambergris here, and transported them back to the ancestral house.
Along the way, he was a little frightened, if someone found out, the villagers would definitely recognize what it was, although it was found by himself, but it would inevitably cause other people's bad intentions.
Fortunately, along the way, I didn't meet anyone at all, and the people who were tired of a day had already rested, so it only attracted a few vigilant dog barks, but fortunately, he was familiar with the dogs in the village these days, and when those dogs barked, he greeted them, and those dogs stopped barking when they heard his voice.
Under the dim light of the ancestral house, Li Yifan witnessed these treasures that were held up to the sky in later generations, yellow, very ugly in appearance, and emitting bursts of unpleasant stench.
There are four pieces in total, all of them are in good condition, the largest one is about fifty kilograms, the other two are forty kilograms, and the smallest one is about twenty kilograms.
He quietly picked off a little bit from the smallest piece, and then lit it with a lighter, and sure enough, after a while, his nose asked a fragrance that he had never smelled before, and it was difficult to describe in words, yes, ambergris.
Li Yifan was so excited that he almost didn't jump, now at this time, ambergris can't be bought at a price in China, after all, the wind of collecting has just risen in recent years, and people who like to collect at this time are mainly focused on those ancient porcelain or ancient paintings, and the attention to things like ambergris is not high.
However, the purchase price of ambergris in the world is relatively stable, basically monopolized by those large perfume companies in France, because the international trading volume has shrunk year after year, so the international price of this ambergris has risen year after year, although it has not reached the level of 20,000 euros per kilogram in later generations, but it is estimated that the price of 10,000 pounds per kilogram should be there.
Come to think of it, he remembered that the standard price was in 2006, when the Australian man picked up about 14 kilograms of ambergris at the beach and bought 300,000 pounds, or about 20,000 pounds per kilogram.
It's 1999, and it's probably not that high, but it should be about the same.
I dug up about 150 kilograms of ambergris by this vote, so many guys, even if the price is calculated at 10,000 pounds per kilogram, according to the current price of about 13 yuan from one pound to about 13 yuan, it will be about 20 million.
In 99, this money, as long as it is taken care of, is enough for his family to live a peaceful and stable life, and after more than an hour, Li Yifan's mood has stabilized from the state of nouveau riche.
In his previous life, after he joined a special organization to work for the country, to be honest, a lot of money has not been seen, but unfortunately those are not his money, every day when he goes abroad to perform tasks, about a hundred dollars in subsidies, plus a salary of 10,000 yuan a month, in fact, the price of his life is really not high.
Although he has a happy life, it seems that he is more worry-free than ordinary white-collar workers, but if he really wants to talk about the life of a rich man, he really hasn't lived it, and it seems that in this life, this dream is coming true again.
Early the next morning, the eldest brother-in-law specially found a car for him to send him back to the city, he said to his brother-in-law that this time he wanted to bring something back from the ancestral house, there was more luggage, and it was inconvenient to take the shuttle, and the brother-in-law called a friend of his own without saying a word, and sent him back.
After helping Li Yifan load the ambergris that had been made into a few large canvas bags into the car, his brother-in-law didn't ask much, and Li Yifan stayed like this and went home with the loot from Longtou Village.
The car belonged to his brother-in-law's friend Lao Du, and Li Yifan did not let Lao Du send him back to the hotel, but asked him to send him back to the new house that his family had just bought in Dujiazhuang in the city.
"Yo drink, Yifan, why did your family buy a house here, why don't you buy a building?"
Lao Du is also a native of Longtou Village, and his brother-in-law is a child, and he is also very familiar with Li Yifan's family.
"Hey! Didn't my brother come back from demobilization at the end of the year, our family just had a little money, and it was not enough to buy a house to live in, so we could only buy a flat * house to deal with it. ”
"Well, yes, by the way, when your brother comes back at the end of the year, let him call me, and I'll have a drink with him."
"Don't worry, Brother Du, hehe, my brother will definitely go back to the village to have a look at it first."
Lao Du and Li Yifan's eldest brother are also good friends, and when talking to Li Yifan, Lao Du helped move all the ambergris in the bag into the yard, and then said goodbye and left.
As soon as Brother Du left, Li Yifan immediately locked the courtyard door from the inside, and then moved all the ambergris into the house little by little.
Li Liqiang and Zhang Shu, who were busy in the hotel for a day, came back from the hotel in advance, and the construction team had already checked into their hotel tonight, and the hotel would be on holiday from this evening.
And because the construction team rebuilt the house is more noisy, so they did not live in the tiled house behind the hotel, but went back to the new yard they bought, although the traffic here is inconvenient, and the surrounding area is also a flat * house * area, but the air here is better than the urban area, the scenery is good, and the living is also comfortable.
"My son is back, haha, your dad specially prepared your favorite spicy crab today, and specially fried it in the restaurant and brought it back."
Zhang Shu opened the door and saw her son in the main house, she was very happy, her son was ten days old, and I heard that he was tossing in the sea every day, but no, he was tanned.
"Well, Mom and Dad, have you eaten? Let's eat together. ”
Li Yifan, who had been tossing for a day, was a little hungry, so he beckoned his parents to come over for dinner.
"Well, I talked to the landlord all afternoon, and I didn't have a meal yet, so let's eat together."
Li Liqiang discussed the renovation of the house with the landlord in the afternoon, and discussed it all afternoon, Zhang Shu didn't eat, just the family had dinner together, Zhang Shu went to the kitchen of the Westinghouse to prepare a hot meal, but Li Liqiang, who walked into the main house, found a few green canvas bags under his feet, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.
These canvas bags were still a pity when he saw some broken and tattered sails that were ready to be thrown away on the boat when he was doing farm work in the village, so he asked for them to come back and let Zhang Shu sew them with a needle and a thread.
But I haven't seen it since I came to the city, so how can I be here at this time, and it seems that there are a lot of things inside.
"Son, what's in it?"
"Hey, Dad, it's a good thing in here, don't believe it, you see ......"
"Ah...... It's ......"
"That's right, this is ambergris!"
"Smack."
Zhang Shu, who had just walked into the house with a bowl, had an empty bowl in her hand and fell to the ground, as children who grew up in a fishing village, how could they not know what this ambergris was?
