In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 126 Big Fish Stranded, Black Ambergris

Li Duoyu's big meal made everyone feel comfortable.

Lao Li went to take a nap after eating,

Auntie is in charge of cleaning up.

Zhou Xiaoying hurried to coax the child, but the child didn't see his mother after getting up, and cried for more than ten minutes.

Li Duoyu wanted to help coax her, but the more she coaxed her, the more she cried, so she had to rest on the rocking chair in the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, just after taking a nap, I heard a strange voice, which was melodious and ethereal, with a bit of whining.

This voice was very familiar to him.

In his previous life, when he was watching the short videos of chasing the sea, he would occasionally see some videos about whales, and the sound of the whale was exactly the same as what he heard now.

Li Duoyu patted his forehead. He thought it was a dream and had auditory hallucinations, but he didn't expect the voice to get louder and louder, as if more than one whale was calling.

Li Duoyu stood on the stone strip in the courtyard and watched. There were already many people on the tidal flat at some point, and everyone was surrounded by a big black spot.

The seventh uncle waved his hand and said: "Use his clothes to wipe it. His mother will scold you later. Just wash it out in the sea and it will be ruined."

Smaller fish like sperm whales have poorer meat quality and worse taste. If they are exhausted, they will be canned whales.

Seeing fewer and fewer people, the sperm whale became frightened and would twist its huge body and slap its tail on the muddy beach.

More than a dozen sperm whales circled here and made whining sounds.

"It's really exciting."

Are you talking about cutting meat?

However, the fishermen at that time would not have known that the ambergris used as tribute was not produced by sperm whales. They even knew what ambergris was.

Looking at the stone behind his eyes, which was smaller than the washbasin, Yan Xiongyu accidentally came closer and took a smell, almost fainting himself.

A little while ago.

What impressed me most was that no reporter went to interview beforehand, and none of the villagers said disdainfully: "These things I have are worth nothing to you."

Uncle Zhuang, cousin Yan Xiongyu, uncle, and Zhao brothers from the dock were also there, and the remaining young men were also villagers from the dock.

Li Shuguang sighed. They all believed you when you told lies, but some people believed you when you told the truth.

So, Li Duoyu took his father's mud horse with him, and Li Haoran, who was playing with Erbaiwu at the side, straightened his ears when he heard the big fish.

Li Shuguang looked at the bucket outside Li Duoyu's hand, and he didn't laugh or cry. It would take dozens of buckets to fill that bucket with whale poop. Do you still want to hold fish?

"Shaoyu, he's here too."

"woo woo woo woo."

At that time, the little cousin Li Haoran suddenly asked: "Shaoyu, he has few wild ways, is there no way to sell that fish?"

Before the information was developed, I knew that this stuff was ambergris, and that it was more expensive than gold per gram. I was so angry that I slapped my calf. I regret it every time I think about it.

But to be honest, the stones that have just come out can still be called ambergris, because they are still very smelly and have no value at all.

The two brothers laughed and apologized enough.

"Brother Yu, there is a big fish over there in your tidal flat, go and see it quickly."

Li Haoran greeted.

But I can't guarantee it.

I thought it was some kind of garbage, so I just threw it away.

The pungent smell of ammonia filled the little house for more than ten meters. Those who had been close just now shed tears.

It must have come with the fishing season. For some reason, it was stranded on the tidal flat.

"You go and notify the Fisheries Bureau. We are about to take the seafood we received to Qingkou Pier." Before Lao Zhuang finished speaking, he set off in my son's sampan boat.

Unfortunately, the sperm whale stranded under Li Shuguang's beach, and the people in that circle have nothing to do with the Li family.

Li Shuguang was also stunned.

Li Shuguang looked at the huge little thing behind his eyes. It was about 18 meters long and was covered with barnacles.

Li Shuguang knew that in his past life, there were no technological means to accelerate the chemical reaction of ambergris.

After hearing this, Li Duoyu was even more convinced that the big black spot on the beach should be the stranded whale.

The same goes for the villagers holding fertilizer bags in front of Li Shuguang. We may be eating whale meat, but there is no way to own it.

As for why so few sperm whales appear there, Li Shuguang thinks it has nothing to do with the upcoming cuttlefish fishing season.

Seeing his uncle pick up the mud horse, he quickly picked up a bucket and followed Li Shuguang.

Moreover, the head is very small, as long as one-eighth of the body. It looks like a small-headed whale, which is very unrecognizable.

There are fewer and fewer people watching the sperm whales under the tidal flats. No one has even brought a long knife for killing fish or a small basin to hold the fish.

And those two marine creatures don't have tough horny jaws and lingual teeth in their mouths, making it difficult to digest.

A truck driver overturned under the national highway and his goods were scattered all over the ground. As a result, he was robbed by villagers in the distance.

I thought, but it just broke.

"Bad, you go back and ask Grandpa."

I tried to swim back overseas, but because the tonnage was too small, it sank deeper and deeper into the tidal flat every time I moved.

"How could the fish explode? You believe it."

Li Duoyu and Qi Baiqi both stood down, kicked hard along Xiong Yu, and then slid towards the little whale.

Anyway, if you save it first, you will always make a mistake.

But Xiaojia gathered around the huge little thing behind his eyes, and for a moment he knew what to do.

A small amount of muddy water splashed up, hitting Uncle Seventh who was standing at the tail of the fish, covering his body with mud, and even extinguishing my dry smoke.

For the sake of danger, Lao Zhuang deliberately bypassed this group of sperm whales when sailing.

When Uncle Zhuang said that, Li Shuguang really didn't have such an impression. It seems that he never told me about Lao Li's scandal when he was growing up.

The most expensive ambergris is milky white. It is said that this color must have been floating overseas for hundreds of years before it could appear.

"No, that's a bad idea."

But Yan Xiongyu's intuition told him that if the thing Li Shuguang was holding was like this, if it was really shit, Shaoyu would have hugged it.

The only one who could save it now was Uncle Ba, the tugboat with the smallest horsepower on Dandan Island, but Uncle Ba had gone to sea.

Probably no washbasin is this small, and there are some whale poop and undigested cuttlefish residue attached to it.

Of course, there is no chance that they will worry about it when they go to sea. There is something wrong with the small boat. If it were a large sampan, it would probably be overturned in an instant.

Li Duoyu said curiously:

Put them in front of the mud horse along the Xiong Yu.

before hearing the dog bark.

That stuff isn't ambergris.

But at this moment, a small lump of something rushed out from its butthole, including digested cuttlefish and various miscellaneous fish.

Qi Baiqi felt aggrieved and fully understood why he was beaten.

"Just after the tide came in, you just closed the net in the distance, but when the tide came in, you found that the little whale was left there."

Before he could react, the seventh uncle scolded him: "Damn it, you stupid bitch, if you don't have any guts, he can go overseas and bark at these dozen whales."

Before washing it, Li Shuguang put the stone outside the bucket carried by Li Duoyu.

Not a sperm whale.

"You really lied to them. It's really top-notch spices."

Even if you really want to kill that whale.

The girl holding the sack next to her said with a look of disgust: "He's so nice. How could such a smelly thing be spice?"

Some time ago.

Moreover, sperm whales are very heavy. Without the buoyancy of water, their internal organs will also suffer reversible damage due to their own weight. To put it simply, they did not crush themselves to death.

"Everyone is grabbing it."

From then on, Li Shuguang never heard a fisherman on the island say that I once picked up a milky white ambergris the size of a watermelon under the beach.

It slid for about 170 meters.

"He's a big foodie, how come he knows how to eat it? That fish is terrible to eat, it's covered in oil, and the meat is so unpalatable."

Lao Zhuang next to him smiled and said:

Even if I eat less, I'm still there.

Seeing that Uncle Seventh's body was so dirty, Li Shuguang took off his vest and handed it to Uncle Seventh: "Uncle Seventh, come here, wipe it on quickly."

The Zhao brothers on the side turned pale when they heard that they were going to notify the fishery administration, but there were all our people under the tidal flat.

I didn’t even order it to see if it was cooked or dried. Sperm whale meat is very unpalatable and has a strong ammonia smell.

Li Shuguang, who worked part-time in an island country, is even more vague. Even island people who love to eat whales eat all kinds of whale meat. The ones we eat the least are giant minnows and Bryde's whales.

The stones must be soaked in seawater for decades, and after a series of chemical reactions, they will become real ambergris.

And Li Shuguang discovered this stranded sperm whale. Far away from the excretion port, there was something very small, white and slippery. It was like foam, floating in the shallow water.

They were considered the relatively shameless people on the island, and it was only the villagers who wanted to fuck the sperm whale that they didn't make a fuss.

Seeing that both of them were running away, Qi Baiqi was stunned for a moment and then chased after them.

And Li Shuguang was also lying that time. In later generations, there were no stranded sperm whales on our island, and they were indeed taken to the museum and made into specimens.

Now is also the worst time.

"It's so big, bigger than a boat."

The tail is also moving, it just depends on the situation and it is very slow.

When those things accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract, their intestines will be stimulated, and the intestines will secrete a common waxy substance that wraps up the remains of the food, quickly forming ambergris.

Qi Baiqi, who was following along, bared his teeth and started barking at the little whale when he saw it.

When we came to the tidal flat along Xiongyu, we found that the whale stranded in the sea was far away from our oyster field.

Li Shuguang slapped Qi Baiqi on the head and said, "He's causing trouble. If he screams again, throw him overseas to feed the whales."

Forget it, mention it all.

Ambergris really only disappears outside the bellies of sperm whales, because we often eat small squid and octopus.

Before seeing the thing, Li Shuguang endured the stench and took it out of the pit with both hands.

Selling whales?

"When you ate that whale, Uncle Yu was still born. On our island, in the most exaggerated time in the future, there were more than ten whales of this kind stranded at one time, and the front was all exploded. Two stinky little guys I am willing to go to the beach every month."

Sperm whales live in groups.

Once one is found, there will be no companions in the distance. Sure enough, they are very close, just like Li Shuguang's fishing raft.

Li Shuguang looked around for seven weeks and saw a torn and messy net in the distance, as well as the brown rope wrapped around the sperm whale's tail, and he already had no answer in his heart.

"Grandpa Zhuang, has he eaten that whale?"

"Uncle, wait for you."

Every summer, cuttlefish come to lay eggs in the sea, and sperm whales hate eating marine life such as cuttlefish and squid.

There are many villagers gathered on the shore. Since few people are assigned to the tidal flat, naturally there are no mud horses. It is also difficult to go outside the tidal flat to watch.

How dare you choke?

To put it bluntly, it’s not that the sperm whale eats less, it’s that it digests something, and the intestinal stones it produces are the same as ambergris.

As several children rushed to tell each other, the fishermen far away from the pier rushed towards the tidal flat. Many of them were like Li Duoyu, holding buckets in their hands.

The stranded sperm whale became more and more relaxed, and kept struggling, flapping its tail and giving a small slap.

Li Shuguang grinned and said, "That stuff is valuable. It's very unknown medicinal materials and spices. If you want, get some for them."

Facing the sperm whale trapped in that position, Li Shuguang sentenced it to death even if the experts did not appear.

"Really?"

So unless we get a small iron boat with enough horsepower, the sperm whale has no chance of survival.

Everyone was dumbfounded and could not understand why Li Shuguang wanted to hold such a smelly whale poop.

Along Xiongyu, we came to the place where the whale stranded. There were many people surrounding it, but they were all acquaintances of Xiao Shao.

At this time, several older children were excitedly rushing to tell each other.

Because someone watered the sperm whale, its skin became more and more moist, and its body became healthier and healthier. It breathed easily, and water began to leak out of its two small round eyes after seven weeks, making it look like tears.

My younger cousin Yan Xiongyu also felt that it was not outrageous. How could spices come out of the urine?

"Why did they come so slowly?"

Before hearing those words, Xiaojia dared to laugh too quietly when he saw the embarrassment of his seventh uncle.

As for the sperm whale behind our eyes, to the fishermen, we really found nothing of value except whale oil and whale skin.

Lao Zhuang nodded: "If you want to lie to him, just treat him to candy."

"Shaoyu, what is that?"

Before seeing that scene,

Old fishermen like my uncle and my seventh uncle all know that when there are no whales in the distance, we can kill whales in front of them.

Reporter Younai asked: "It's valuable, why are they still robbing it?"

Moreover, Li Shuguang could guarantee that Uncle Eight's tugboat could pull such a huge thing.

Yan Xiongyu looked at the surface of the sea, and then looked at his watch. At 01:30 in the morning, the tide had just come in. The tide would not rise back until around ten o'clock in the evening at most.

"Damn it, you're so slow and you still have to poop."

It seems that the stranded sperm whale really has nothing to do with me.

"No way, there are really whales."

Li Duoyu, on the other hand, stared at the small fish behind him and swallowed: "Uncle, if you kill such a small fish, it will be enough for your village to eat for several months."

Li Shuguang carried the heavy piece of "pee" out of the sea far away, and before cleaning the greasy substance attached to it, a white "stone" appeared in front of me.

I really thought about it, and after thinking about it for a while, I replied: "If so, let's notify the Fisheries Bureau and let us handle the matter, saying that the museum will use it to make specimens or something like that." .”

Before seeing that scene, Li Shuguang remembered a report from later generations.

"If you believe it, go back and ask his grandpa. His grandpa was exploded all over his body back then. He washed himself for a whole week, but the stench was still washed away."
