    Shu Ze read the information found on his mobile phone: "Coconut de mer is one of the three rarest plants in the world. It only survives in the Seychelles Islands in the world. Legend has it that when Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden for eating forbidden fruit, they ate this  Coconut de mer.¡±

    Hearing this, Sima Yuelan curled his lips: "I always like to make far-fetched assumptions. If this is really the case, why haven't we heard of it before?"

    "You have to understand that if you want to increase your fame, but you have nothing to do with celebrities, you can only bring up such legendary figures."

    Shu Ze laughed and then read: "The coconut palm fruit is the largest and heaviest seed in the plant kingdom, usually weighing 10kg-30kg. When it is 7-9 months old, while the pulp is still gelatinous,  It is edible only when it is young. Once it exceeds 9 months, the pulp will gradually harden. The pulp of mature coconut palm is white and hard. Some people once used it to pass it off as ivory, and its hardness can be imagined.¡±

    Meng Zitao asked curiously: "Can I pretend to be ivory?"

    "Yes, look at my carving, it is actually made of sea coconut meat." Lin Suo pointed to an ivory-like object next to him.

    Meng Zitao went up and took a closer look and found that it was really good. For a novice, it would be easy to miss it. He nodded and said, "It does look a bit similar."

    He Wanyi asked: "If this is the case, why is it so rare to use it to pass off as ivory?"

    "Because this kind of sea coconut is rare."

    Linsuo explained: "Seychelles stipulates that no individual is allowed to plant sea coconuts privately, and any plantable sea coconut seeds cannot be taken out of Seychelles. If you want to own a unique sea coconut, you must spend hundreds of dollars.  Buy coconut 'shells' that are hollowed out and have local government authorization."

    "I also heard something about protection. It is said that the German Emperor Rudolf II proposed to use 250 kilograms of gold to purchase coconut palm fruits, but was rejected by the Seychelles. The purpose of this was to ensure  The scarcity of coconuts in the sea is like Turkey¡¯s protection of coffee beans.¡±

    Sima Yuelan said: "It would be too much to control things so strictly."

    Linsuo shrugged his shoulders: "This is actually normal. The economy of Seychelles is underdeveloped, and the industrial and agricultural foundation is very weak. The average people rely on agriculture and fishery as their industry, and raise many poultry and livestock. The country's income in other aspects is huge.  Part of it depends on the consumption of inbound tourists. Just like ordinary people who have no money at home, they finally find something that can bring them relatively large profits. Do you think they will be crazy about it? "

    ? Everyone expressed their understanding.

    "But the most amazing thing is that the shape of this strange fruit is not only divided into male and female, but also looks like the characteristics of human male and female"

    "No way, are they divided into male and female?" Sima Yuelan heard this, went up to take a look, and spat: "Why is there such a thing? I'm really not ashamed."

    "Brother and sister, you are wrong. This is the wonder of nature."

    Linsuo smiled and said: "And this kind of tree is also very loyal. The male and female trees always embrace each other or grow side by side. If one of the male and female trees is cut down, the other will 'die of love', so there is another  The nicknames of 'Tree of Love' and 'Fruit of Love'."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:????? Everyone expressed emotion that the world is really full of wonders.

    After looking at the sea coconut products on the table, everyone looked at the utensils next to them.

    Shu Ze said: "Fat man, when did you invite another Guanyin statue and still put it here?"

    Lin Suo said: "Last time Xiaofang and I"

    "Which Xiaofang?" Shu Ze asked teasingly.

    "You don't know me, just listen to what I have to say."

    Linsuo quickly skipped the topic and said: "Last month, Xiaofang and I went to Jiuhua Mountain for a trip. When we came back, we passed by an antique store and happened to see this Guanyin statue. She said she wanted to help her grandma take it back.  I just paid the money.¡±

    "In this case, why is the Guanyin statue placed here again?" Shu Ze asked with a smile.

    Lin Suo spread his hands and said, "On the way home, she was playing tricks on me, so I sent her away."

    "What to give her?" Shu Ze asked.

    ¡°Send her back to her hometown.¡± Lin Suo chuckled.

    Everyone was amused by what he said.

    Shu Ze smiled and said, "You change your girlfriend as diligently as you change your clothes. When will you be able to settle down?"

    Li Suo patted his belly: "You said with my physique, if it wasn't for my money, which beauty would like me?"

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??Everyone came to a room and saw that it was filled with all kinds of exquisite handicrafts, but most of them were modern, and only a few looked antique.

    ¡°Here, it¡¯s this carpet.¡±

    As you can see, it is a carpet whose main color is exquisite craftsmanship. The wool is soft and the material is thick. It uses yellow as the ground and is painted with sea water, river lines and cloud patterns. The main decoration is a dragon pattern. It has a fierce look and is well preserved. Look.  Looks like it hasn't been used.

    "Zitao, what do you think?" Shu Ze asked.

    Meng Zitao did not directly give the results, saying: "Some carpets have not been paved. They have been cared for and protected and stored in boxes. After decades, their hair has not been worn and has no luster. But all the carpets on the old carpets have not been worn.  The colors used are all mineral and vegetable dyes. The pigments are light and dark, and they look like new carpets even though they have not been used. But connoisseurs can tell at a glance that they are old carpets. The secret lies in identifying the old and new carpets based on their colors."

    "For carpets that have been paved for nearly a hundred years or more, the hairs are scattered and the roots are also scattered. The weft threads of the hair roots turn gray-black, and the authenticity can be identified from the old color: the weft threads of antique carpets are specially made of bowl wood water.  The dyed ones look very unnatural, and you can see it when you compare them with the natural old colors. When you look at the natural old colors, you feel that they are formed naturally, and the old weft color looks hard and unnatural"

    Hearing this, Lang Suo waved his hand and said: "Don't go into so much detail, just tell me whether it's true or false." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
