449. Give it away (1/3)
The snail shells were smashed open, but no red coral was found, but a lot of beeswax, that is, sea amber, were found.
This thing is not common in fishermen, but it is not very rare. Ao Muyang knows that it is not very valuable, at least not as valuable as Red Coral.
However, he was not very clear about the current market of beeswax, and there was an expert here, so he called Cheng Deming, who was still in Longtou Village.
Forty-two snail shells, a total of 35 pieces of beeswax were harvested, and the acquisition rate was very high, which was related to the characteristics of the scavenger snail.
After the old man arrived, he saw a large table of beeswax. He picked up a piece and nodded and said, "Well, golden honey, the sea amber produced in our country's sea areas, only the red ocean has golden honey. This price is good in the market, and it costs 200 yuan per gram."
Whether it is sea amber or land amber, they are made by secreting pine and maple trees from ancient times. The fat wax is very light, but it is still very light after turning into fossils. The density of sea amber is smaller than that of water and can float on the sea surface and be carried ashore by the sea water.
The golden honey that Cheng Deming mentioned was the piece Ao Fugui got at the beginning. It looked like an egg yolk, which was not small in size, but in fact it was not heavy. Such a large head weighed about ten grams at most.
The old man was an expert in this field. He picked up another piece and looked at it and said, "This is not bad. Golden Bag of Milk. It's not very popular in our Hongyang. The price is slightly worse than Golden Bag of Milk. However, if you have a good taste, you can sell for 170 to 80 yuan."
Ao Fugui said complacently: "Then we will get rich."
The beeswax they found was at least 100 grams, mostly gold-wrapped honey. According to what the old man said, their value could be 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.
For Ao Muyang, this is a small amount of money, but for Ao Fugui, this is indeed a small amount of money.
After hearing his words, the old man touched his beard with a smile: "Have you made a fortune?"
Seeing him showing this expression, Ao Muyang knew something was different.
Ao Fugui didn't realize that he had never dealt with the old man after all, and misunderstood what he said: "Boss Cheng, we countrymen are not rich like you. We earn tens of thousands of yuan at a time and are already making a fortune."
The old man shook his head: "Who said that these beeswax can make you tens of thousands of yuan?"
Ao Fugui was stunned: "Didn't you just mentioned their price? Didn't you just do it?"
Ao Muyang knew that Cheng Deming had made a fuss about being insincere again, so he sighed: "Old man, if you have flowers, you might as well just say it."
The old man said, "Then I'll just say that you beeswax can't sell the price I mentioned. Because of the bad quality, they are obtained from the screw shell of the scavenger snail? You see, almost every piece of beeswax has scratches, and some are even stuck in chitin..."
While speaking, he continued to shake his head, his meaning was self-evident.
Ao Muyang shrugged and said, "How much can these beeswax cost in total?"
The old man thought about it for a while and said, "It's a few thousand yuan. If you sell it through me, someone might be able to sell me this old face and give me a face, or even tens of thousands of yuan, but at most it's the price."
Hearing him say this, Ao Fugui showed a strange expression on his face.
Ao Muyang knew this brother next door who had been peeing and mud since childhood. This guy suspected that the old man was playing tricks with them.
The same thing, Ao Fugui was not familiar with Cheng Deming, and thought Cheng Deming said this to be an agent and took the opportunity to make some money when selling these beeswaxes.
But Ao Muyang knew that the old man really looked down on this little thing, and his words were true. Only when he used his personal resources to let the buyer sell at a slightly higher price for his sake.
Ao Muyang would definitely not do this. This is a favor. It is not necessary to take personal favors for a few thousand yuan. Anyway, he does not expect to make money from these ambers.
He patted Ao Fugui on the shoulder and said, "Fugui, if you like these things, take them away. I believe that Boss Cheng said that they should be able to sell for several thousand yuan."
Ao Fugui didn't like to take advantage of him. He got angry when he heard him say this: "This is not my thing, why are you doing for me? I don't want it."
Ao Muyang knew him and knew that this boy had a stubborn temper like a cow. Since he said so, he would not take away the beeswax.
After thinking about it, he took out the largest piece of golden honey from it and handed it to him: "Here, this is for you. If you can prescribe beeswax, you are the number one hero. This is a reward."
Ao Fugui smiled and said, "I said I'm lucky, Yangzi, you said you are a virgin. You can tell that it's definitely not. Anyway, I'll fire you from the virgin team in our Longtou Village."
Ao Muyang smiled helplessly and said, "Then why do I feel that there is still a lot of honor after leaving this list?"
He could only put away the remaining beeswax, but he had no habit of storing these things. He probably wouldn't know where they would fall sooner or later.
In this way, he thought of the old man Ao Zhiman. The old man likes to tinker with these things. He even mentioned a mouthful of beeswax when he opened the rocky beach some time ago.
Ao Muyang promised him that the beeswax he got from the reef beach belonged to the old man. Although the beeswax he had in his hand was not obtained from the reef beach, he still wanted to give them to the old man.
The old man has a nickname in the village, called Hu Chi. As the name suggests, he is very obsessed with Hai Amber. He has loved craftsmanship since he was a child and is the best craftsman in the village. He not only knows how to weave bamboo products, but also carve beeswax.
He sent the beeswax over. When the old man saw so many pieces of beeswax, his eyes widened: "Ah, so good, where did he come from?"
"I caught some scavenging snails, which were smashed out of the snail shell." Ao Muyang smiled and handed him the beeswax, "Master Man, this is all for you."
Ao Zhiman blocked his arm and said, "If you can't do it, this thing is quite expensive..."
"Can you compare to the door panel you gave me?" Ao Muyang asked back, "That's worth millions. Master Man, don't be polite to me. Look, you like carving beeswax, I'll give it to you."
The old man no longer politely, rubbing beeswax is like rubbing some baby, with a happy face.
After delivering beeswax, it was already evening.
It is not easy to get beeswax from a screw shell. The screw shell is so hard and the beeswax is relatively soft. It takes a lot of time to take it out. They worked hard for an afternoon.
After returning home, Ao Muyang took out the snail meat from the refrigerator.
The tender snail meat was cold and elastic. He cut it into slices with a quick knife and then put it in the refrigerator to chill.
In addition, he braised some meat, added beef sauce, braised peanuts, salted edamame, etc. He made a table of cold dishes, and set up a grill to prepare some things to bake later.
At sunset, Ao Mudong and his group came to his house with laughter and laughter. Everyone was carrying beer, and some even brought wild vegetables made by their daughter-in-law: "My village chief, I know you're good to eat, try how my wife's spicy grasshopper dish is made."
