    Seeing that everyone was convinced by Meng Zitao's comments, Zhu Tianhua felt very unhappy and really wanted to beat Meng Zitao into the dust.  But he also has a brain, and it is impossible for him to jump out and play against Meng Zitao everywhere when he knows that with his own strength, he can't even break a hair on Meng Zitao's head. That would be no different from a fool.

    Therefore, Zhu Tianhua would rather stay away than meet Meng Zitao, so as not to affect his mood.  But reality often doesn't depend on people's thoughts. He didn't want to meet Meng Zitao, but he met him anyway.

    "Every time I meet this guy, nothing good happens. I hope nothing bad happens because of him today!" Zhu Tianhua thought.

    Gao Yunshi smiled and said to everyone: "I taste agarwood here first, and thank you for sharing your experience. Next, I will bring you a spice that I personally co-produced. It has a special taste. If anyone can guess it,  Which spices are used to make the mixture, I will give you a reward."

    Shao Daxi said: "Brother Yunshi, the questions you asked are too difficult."

    Gao Yunshi smiled and said: "If the question is not difficult, wouldn't it be too easy to get the reward? Let me remind you again, I am talking about the most critical spice, which can play the role of blending all the fragrances."

    "Just remind me again," Shao Daxi said.

    Gao Yunshi smiled and shook his head: "It would be boring if it was too simple."

    Shao Daxi made another request: "Then you have to let us see what the reward is."

    "You guys have so many demands." Gao Yunshi took out a small box. After opening it, everyone noticed that inside the box was a small piece, one side was black and gray, and the texture looked a bit like rice bran.  .

    "Is this ambergris?" Ye Tong said in surprise.

    Shao Daxi was also a little frightened: "Damn, you even gave out ambergris as a reward, that's really cool. Isn't this natural?"

    Everyone should be familiar with ambergris. It is said that during the Han Dynasty, coastal fishermen caught some off-white fragrant drifts, which were more fragrant than musk when lit.  At that time, no one knew what kind of treasure it was. After consulting the chemists and alchemists in the palace, they believed that when the dragon rested on the stone, its saliva would float to the water, and then gather together to dry and solidify, so they gave it to  It was given the extremely noble name Ambergris.

    In fact, ambergris is actually the excrement of sperm whales. Sperm whales love to eat squid, especially giant squid.  The sperm whale swallowed the giant squid in one gulp, but could not digest the squid's parrot.  They gradually form a viscous dark substance in the small intestine that weighs 100 to 1,000 grams, and once weighed 420 kilograms.  Its maximum diameter is 165 centimeters, and this substance is called "ambergris".

    It is stored in the colon and rectum. The stuff that is excreted at first is black and sticky, and has a foul smell. If it smells worse at first, it will become more fragrant in the future.

    After expelling these things, it must continue to float on the sea. After being exposed to the sun and catalyzed by air, it will slowly denature. The texture will become harder and harder, and the color will gradually become lighter. At the same time, the odor will subside until it disappears, and then  A light fragrance will appear and gradually become stronger!  The faster this process occurs, the better the quality of the resulting waxy ambergris.

    This is the process of the formation of ambergris. I guess some people may find it intolerable. This thing smells fragrant, but it is actually whale excrement, and they may feel a little uncomfortable.

    Of course, for those who love fragrance, they will not deliberately think about what kind of excrement this is. Moreover, natural ambergris needs to be soaked in seawater for tens to hundreds of years before it can be formed, so it is precious and rare.  Of course, you have to say that it is not too difficult to collect directly from whales in modern times, but is the ambergris collected in that way considered real ambergris?

    Back to the subject, after listening to Shao Daxi¡¯s words, Gao Yunshi said angrily: ¡°I¡¯m not going to fool everyone with fake goods.¡±

    Others also echoed, accusing Shao Daxi of speaking without thinking, and Shao Daxi also quickly apologized to Gao Yunshi.

    "You just have a bad mouth. If you don't change it, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later."

    Gao Yunshi pointed at Shao Daxi and continued: "However, don't expect it to be the best ambergris, and it only has 3.75 grams. It's just to add to the fun. I hope you don't think I'm stingy."

    Everyone said no. Judging from the appearance of the small pieces of ambergris, its quality should be average, and its value should be at least several thousand yuan. The key is that natural and authentic ambergris is not so easy to buy in the market.

    With this reward, everyone is very excited and ready to start tasting.

    Not yetHe waved his hand: "Okay, it's getting late. Let's eat first and continue discussing fragrance in the afternoon."

    At this time, Zhu Tianhua said: "I have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't eat here. Can you show me the two pieces of ambergris from Old Dong first?"

    The old man named Lao Dong shook his head: "Lao Zhu, it's not that I don't want you to look at it, but you want to buy it after looking at it, so how can we communicate?"

    Zhu Tianhua clapped his hands: "Hey, this matter is not easy to handle. Can't we just leave the things with you for communication first and give them to me later? Come on, old director, I really don't have much time."

    "You guy, why do you like to disturb the scenery so much!" Old Dong muttered, and then took out a red box from his side. After opening it, he saw two pieces of ambergris-like stuff inside, one big and one big.  They are small, the big one weighs hundreds of grams, and the small one only weighs about 30 grams.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
