The Book of Appreciation

Ps:

Thank you Fuyun, Wanbai, and Huangshang for your rewards.Let's update slowly, I don't have time to change, I always feel that the writing is not good, and I feel uneasy.

There was nothing wrong with the GPS. They got in the car and drove for about ten minutes in the direction of the mountain ridge that Wu Di saw protruding into the sea. They saw a small fishing village with a few lights on.

Sparrow found an old house and knocked on the door. He thought that this kind of house should be more easily moved by money.It was an old man who opened the door. He first glanced at them warily, and then leaned against the door and asked why they came.

The old man's accent was very strong, and it took a long time for the two sides to talk and make gestures before Wu Di and the others understood what he meant.Here are real fishermen, and they don't do this kind of business of going out to sea for a ride.And even if someone wants to do it, there is no way, because the fishing boats have been out to sea for a few days, and the village not only has no boats, but also lacks young adults.

Wu Di expressed his thanks in disappointment, and was about to find another family to try his luck. Suddenly, a half-sized man squeezed out from under the old man and said:

"Grandpa, didn't Uncle Hai's boat come back in the morning?"

The child's Mandarin is not bad, at least they can understand it.The old man slapped the little guy with a smile and said:

"Your Uncle Hai has been out at sea for a week this time. I'm afraid he is sleeping in the house, right? It's useless if you go, he won't go out with you." [

"It's okay. If we can't, let's give more money. The main reason is that we have never been to sea, and tomorrow will be busy again. I'm afraid we won't have a chance."

The half-sized boy rolled his eyes cunningly and asked:

"How much can you pay?"

Wu Di smiled and patted his head.Asked rhetorically:

"Little guy, how much do you want?"

"How much do I want? I want a lot of money, so that I can take my grandfather to the city to buy a house to live in, and buy a lot of fun toys. It's a pity that Dad is not at home. We don't have a boat."

"Little guy, why don't you take us to find Uncle Hai, if you can persuade Uncle Hai, how about I give you money to buy fun toys?"

"Aqiang, don't take uncle's money randomly, be careful when your dad comes back and spanks your ass!"

The old man gave a low drink, and then said:

"Forget it, let Ah Qiang run with you and ask Ah Hai if he would like to go out to sea with you. There should be fishing boats and yachts at the pier.”

Uncle Hai is a thick, black and thin middle-aged man, unlike what the old man guessed, he has not slept yet.He is packing his fishing boat.The weather is good during this period, so we should take care of it and see if we can go to sea again in the short term. There is plenty of time to rest, but we missed the fish season for half a month, and the harvest will be much less every time we go to sea. .

Guided by the light, Ah Qiang took Wu Di directly to Uncle Hai's boat. After some communication, Wu Di took out 2 yuan, and Uncle Hai took them out to sea for three hours.In the next ten nets, all the things caught will belong to Wu Di.

"Let's go, I'll take you to another boat. This one is a deep-sea fishing boat, and you can't wander around the sea."

Ah Hai called another young man from the big boat, and led Wu Di to the other side of the simple pier, where there was a dark fishing boat that was several sizes smaller than the boat Wu Di and the others had just seen.

"It's getting harder and harder to catch fish now, and there's no harvest at all in the offshore, and there are fewer and fewer fishing boats with such a small operating radius. If you come a month or two later, I might have sold it. "[

Uncle Hai looked at this fishing boat and was very moved. This boat used to be a treasure of his family, but now, it can only be used for a ride, throwing two nets to entertain these young masters and ladies from the city.

Meng Yao secretly gave Ah Qiang 500 yuan, sent the little guy home, and waited on the pier for 10 minutes. Uncle Hai greeted them to board the boat and set off.

From here to the sea area that Wu Di saw just now, to bypass the mountain ridge that protrudes into the sea, Uncle Hai communicated with Wu Di while controlling the direction. Half an hour later, Wu Di saw the sinking area again. Agarwood in the water at the bottom of the sea.

"Okay, let's go to the Internet cafe along this stretch, hoping to catch more fish. I haven't tried fishing in the sea yet."

Uncle Hai shook his head. People who have never lived at sea will not know the hard work.

"Going to sea is a very hard job, but we have grown up by the sea since we were young. If we don't want to fish, we can only become sailors. It is not as good as you cultural people from big cities."

The fishing net on this boat is mechanically controlled, and when it is cast down, it covers a large sea area. Wu Di watched the fishing net with the lead sinker sink to the bottom of the sea quickly, and then slowly tightened as the fishing boat slid.Immediately, the bottom of the sea was like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed. Countless small fish rushed out from every corner, and the fishing nets were still dragging the bottom, making the bottom of the sea turbid.

"Now there are no fish in the coastal waters, so our fishing grounds are far away from the shore. If we drive from here, it will take a whole day just to drive the boat."

Uncle Hai smiled and threw a few fish into the fish basket on one side, then pulled the net vigorously, and stood aside.

Because Wu Di asked to cast the net continuously, the second net was even worse than the first, and he didn't even catch a single fish.Seeing the empty fishing net, Meng Yao muttered with dissatisfaction:

"Adi, don't command me blindly, listen to Uncle Hai, maybe we can still catch some fish."

"Hehe, even if you catch it, you have no place to do it. Those few are enough. Why do you need so many?"

"I have a place to do it, Aqi's wife can do it."

Aqi is the proprietress of the private restaurant where Wu Di and the others had dinner just now. I really don't know how this girl became friends with her. Didn't she always look down on those prostitutes?

"Aqi has changed her mind a long time ago, and the friend that the fat man said also likes her very much. Unfortunately, he is already married, so the two of them are so ambiguous... Adi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Wu Di smiled wryly and hugged the little girl tightly. The two of them are very happy to fly together, but when these specific problems are involved, it will be troublesome. We must find a way to solve this problem. Is it really necessary to apply for an Arab nationality?

The third net caught the huge piece of agarwood. Uncle Hai, who had a relaxed expression, glanced at the tight wire rope, shouted excitedly, and ran towards the bow of the ship.

The steel cable slowly pulled the fishing net out of the water. With the help of the spotlights on the boat, Uncle Hai saw that a big black stone had been fished up. He couldn't help laughing, and shouted at the cab:

"Bring the net..."

Wu Di grabbed him, just kidding, I spent [-] yuan for this thing, otherwise you really think I'm free to go out to sea in the middle of the night?

The stone was thrown on the deck, and Uncle Hai saw that it was a piece of wood. He couldn't help being a little strange, how could the wood sink in the water?Immediately he was relieved again, maybe it was floating on the water, didn't he see it when it was dark?

He pulled hard, but the wood didn't budge.Wu Di knew that the agarwood would sink like water, and this piece was so big, it should be a bit heavy, so he quickly called the robot cat and the sparrow to come forward to help.As a result, the four of them tried their best to release the fishing net. Uncle Hai directed the fishing net to be thrown into the sea again, and then knocked on the wood with one hand, amazed.

"This thing, I'm afraid it's not much lighter than a stone, right? Strange, what kind of wood is this?

When Wu Di was helping just now, he had seen clearly that it was indeed a piece of water agarwood.At this moment, someone went up to look at the grain of the wood, and couldn't help but nodded. This piece of wood should have a lifespan of at least hundreds of years, and this is really a treasure.

Agarwood is a wood, spice and traditional Chinese medicine.When the heart of the agarwood plant is stimulated by trauma or fungal infection, it will secrete a large amount of resin with a strong fragrance.These parts are also called "water agarwood" because of their high density.

After the agarwood tree begins to produce fragrance due to disease, it will go through a long growth period, which takes at least several years to more than ten years, but a piece of high-quality agarwood will take decades or even hundreds of years to form, so the output is very small, and the market is in short supply. , very precious.

And this piece of wood has grown for at least hundreds of years after it became fragrant, so how precious is it?Wu Di felt the texture of the surface with his hands while observing with his clairvoyant eyes.After a while, he took a deep breath, and the whole piece of wood was basically soaked in resin, that is to say, almost every part of this piece of wood was top quality!

The top-quality agarwood is sold by the gram, especially if it is over 500 years old, the value of one gram far exceeds that of gold. This piece is so big, how much is it worth?

"This wood is so weird, Addy, is it really heavy?"

Meng Yao came up lightly, and of course the wood didn't move at all.

"It's very heavy. It probably weighs almost a ton. I think the texture should be relatively dense. When we pull it back, it would be nice to find someone to make furniture or something."

Meng Yao opened her mouth and saw that Uncle Hai was watching, so she didn't say anything.This guy Wu Di must know what it is, and it must not be as simple as he said, maybe this time he went to sea for this thing!As for the black light, how did he know that there was such a thing on the bottom of the sea a few kilometers away from the shore? She can't care about it. Anyway, this guy is weird, there must be something wrong!

The fishing boat cast three nets in a row in this sea area, and only a few dozen fish were caught in total. Not to mention oil money, even one person's labor could not be paid.Seeing that there were only a few nets left, Meng Yao, who had long since lost interest in that strange piece of wood, clamored to change the place, she wanted to go to a slightly deeper place to try.

Uncle Hai looked at the time, and there was still more than an hour before the return flight time, so it was the so-called, I received [-] yuan, but I didn't catch any fish, so what's the point of traveling more?

"Uncle Hai, how far do you think our place is from the shore over there?"

Seeing that the fishing boat circled a semicircular arc obliquely and was about to sail towards the deep sea, Wu Di suddenly remembered the problem of the distance before, and quickly pulled Uncle Hai back.

"This distance is hard to say, because the sea tide rises and falls at any time, but if it is at this moment, it should be about four or five kilometers away."
