My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 536 Beeswax

"So that's how it is." Fang Youqun hurriedly placed the salmon in his arms carefully into the live water tank.

Looking at Fang Youqun's cautious look, Xiang Yang wanted to laugh. In fact, the vitality of the salmon was stronger than that of Xiaoqiang.

Not to mention just throwing it into the living water tank, even if you stand on the fourth floor and drop it, it will not die.

But Xiang Yang didn't make a sound to remind him. After all, many rare fish are very precious, so it's always good to be careful.

"Captain, there is a deserted island not far ahead. According to the navigation records, there are a lot of crabs on this deserted island. Shall we go to the island to see?" Xu Fang came over and asked at this time.

"In front?" Xiang Yang raised his eyes and glanced ahead, "Since it's on the way, let's go up and have a look."

As for the so-called nautical 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 been to the island must choose to make a fortune in silence, and they will never tell others.

The crew worked together and quickly cleaned up the catches on the deck by category.

There are about 20,000 catties in total, which is not a small income.

After the catch was cleared, the fishing boat arrived at the so-called deserted island at this time.

It is a very small island, not as big as a football field, and the tip of the island is not far from the sea level. Maybe the island will be submerged when the sea tide rises slightly.

"No wonder it's a deserted island." Xiang Yang muttered, jumped on the rubber boat first, and rowed towards the island.

Although the island is small, it is not a bare area, there are many weeds and dead branches of trees.

There are some dead branches half lying under the mud on the island and half exposed in the air. It can be seen that the island once had vegetation.

A group of people went up to the island, Xiang Yang turned over a few big rocks, and actually caught some swimming crabs, and they were not small in size, the smallest one was three or four or two big.

"It turned out to be a treasure land." Xiang Yang became interested, and ordered: "Everyone spread out, and turn over all the rocks on the island that can be turned over once. I will reward ten crabs for every catty caught on this island." I will reward as much as I catch.”

Although ten yuan is not much, 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, which together weighed almost two catties.

If I were to work in an electronics factory, it would only cost more than ten yuan an hour.

After hearing what Xiang Yang said, everyone immediately became enthusiastic, and they either acted alone or formed a team, and spread out towards the entire deserted island.

Xiang Yang himself did not move. He walked to a dead tree that was mostly buried under the mud, and said with a smile, "Guess what kind of tree this is?"

Everyone shook their heads, unable to guess.

In fact, Xiang Yang himself didn't know what kind of tree it was, because it was really too rotten, and it would shatter into pieces with a slight touch.

A tree that has rotted like this has obviously been down for a very long time.

It may be mahogany, or it may be a tree floating from other places in the sea, or it may be coconut trees, Xiang Yang thought to himself.

Xiang Yang stretched out his hand and gently pushed the dead tree.

The entire trunk snapped off 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?" Xiang Yang turned his head and looked in the direction of Fang Youqun's fingers.

Immediately, Xiang Yang saw a crystal clear, dark yellow thing.

"Huh?" Xiang Yang's eyelids twitched, "Is this old beeswax?"

Old beeswax is a fossil resin, named after "the color is like honey, and the light is like wax".

It belongs to a kind of amber beeswax. It refers to the unfinished products that have been mined in the early stage and have not been cut and polished, or have been naturally oxidized for a long time, or have been oxidized by the player's human body for a long time and become dark yellow or orange after being oxidized with air. beeswax.

Beeswax has been favored by the upper classes of various countries for thousands of years, and has been portrayed as very mysterious by the cultures of various countries, but researching it is almost like falling into the clouds.

According to Tibetan Buddhism, beeswax is a very spiritual treasure and one of the seven treasures of Buddhism. With the help of it for spiritual practice, its efficacy will be multiplied. Tibetan Buddhism likes to use it as beads, and believes that beeswax has a strong psychic effect.

According to the point of view of traditional medicine, old beeswax is a kind of good medicine, which can calm the nerves, diuresis and treat rheumatism.

The ancient book "Shan Hai Jing" in our country says that "wearing it will prevent you from getting sick", which means that it is not easy to get sick when you wear it frequently.

However, there are not many real old beeswax in the world, and there is no recognized standard by the international community, so it is not convenient to trade and communicate. Many people also regard beeswax as a kind of amber, so it is not easy to find it.

The old beeswax was formed in the vicissitudes of the years, silently condensing the essence of thousands of years.

Some beeswax is transparent, while others are misty.

Beeswax has a delicate texture, and a string is easy to hold in the hand. The feeling is very hard to explain, as if touching a layer of grease.

Fang Youqun looked at Xiang Yang in confusion, "Old Miwa? What is that?"

"A very valuable thing, the price is about three times the equivalent amount of gold." Xiang Yang walked over and took the small piece of beeswax into his hand. The price of ordinary beeswax is slightly cheaper than gold, about three times. 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 was about the size of a thermos bottle cap, and its shape was like an irregular sphere. I felt it in my hand, and it weighed about half a catty.

The reason why beeswax is so valuable is that it is a non-renewable substance, and the more it is mined, the less it will be.

Second, it is not easy to collect old wax.

Besides, there were not many beeswax in the first place. In the old days, beeswax was an exclusive accessory for nobles.

The color of old honey wax is like honey, honey wax is amber, but its color is different from that of translucent amber, it is opaque or semi-opaque, and it is opaque because of its high content 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 relationship of human body temperature, the succinic acid will gradually become transparent amber due to the reduction of succinic acid.

Several kinds of old beeswax handed down in the world are mainly divided into old beeswax handed down from Tibet, old beeswax from Kesmir, Afghanistan and other places, old beeswax from India and other places, and old amber beeswax from Europe and other places , as well as the old beeswax Jizi and ornaments in the Ming and Qing Dynasties of our country.

There is an episode in "Ultimate Notes", when Zhang Rishan took the heroine to buy goods, the heroine saw a piece of blood-stained jade, because the jade was underground and turned red, Zhang Rishan considered it unlucky , In fact, that piece of jade is a piece of old beeswax.

Xiang Yang turned to look at Chen Qingsheng.

Chen Qingsheng understood immediately, "Captain, I'll call someone over right away, and dig out all the dead wood here from the soil."
