[Braised Pipi Eel: A delicious delicacy carefully made using the Pipi eel produced in Xanadu. It is delicious, nourishing and strengthening, delicious +11, strong body +5, aphrodisiac +11, eel has abalone +5].
Seeing these two delicious flavors on the table, Wang Yi couldn't bear it anymore. He picked up his chopsticks and started to eat. After not eating the Xanadu for a while, he ate again, almost not swallowing his tongue.
Soon the leek, shrimp and braised skin eel were eaten by Wang Yi completely. He lay on his back on the recliner, and a warm feeling appeared from his body. Wang Yi's hollowed-out body seemed to usher in it. Field of rain, greedily absorbing nutrition.
After lying comfortably on the bed and taking a nap, Wang Yi walked out of the room in the afternoon with great energy.After a short rest, his body is now at its best.
Open the system mall, he is relaxed and happy looking at the 150,000 manor coins in the lower right corner.Find the ancient treasure map, click bulk purchase, select the quantity 20, and confirm the payment.
In an instant, 150,000 manor coins became 130,000, and there were also 20 treasure maps made of parchment in the storage column.
"Xiao Bai, go, dig for treasure!" Picking up a shovel, he started digging treasure with Wang Yi, the little milk dog.
Because he had already had treasure digging experience once, Wang Yi spent more than half an hour to dig out all twenty treasure chests.
Back in the room, first went to wash and collect, and Wang Yi began an exciting lottery draw.After taking out a wooden treasure chest, Wang Yi burned the incense and cleans his hands with a solemn expression. After his soul became calm, he took out a sheepskin scroll and opened the sheepskin scroll cautiously, only to see the sheepskin scroll turned into a little bit of fluorescence and enveloped. On the treasure chest.
The gray wooden box quickly disappeared after being exposed to these fluorescent lights. In a blink of an eye, all the boxes disappeared, leaving only a light gray object in place.
Reaching out and picking up this light gray object, the whole object is an irregular lump, and it feels like wax to the touch. The whole object has a faint scent. Wang Yi couldn't recognize it after watching it for a long time. what.
"Appraisal!"
"After the identification, congratulations to the host for getting a piece of Ambergris (quality: high-quality), weighing 5.43 kg."
"Ambergris!" Seeing the system's identification results, Wang Yi jumped up instantly. He is no stranger to Ambergris Wang Yi, because some time ago, the news reported that a man saw a piece of gray at the beach. The waxy substance was later identified as ambergris, and finally auctioned by the auction house. It sold for a total of tens of millions. At that time, Wang Yi, a street writer, was full of envy and hatred for that man.
Going for a walk to the beach, I picked up tens of millions, and this luck is too bad.
Ambergris is the top spice. It is called gray amber in the West. The country where ambergris was first discovered was ancient China.
As early as in the Han Dynasty, it was recorded that fishermen on the beach caught some gray-white, fragrant waxy objects in the sea. This is the ambergris that has evolved naturally over many years, weighing from a few catties to dozens of catties. Not waiting.
When the ambergris is lit again, the fragrance is overflowing, even better than musk.Some local officials said that these ambergris were offered to the emperor as treasures, and used as spices or medicine in the palace.
No one knew exactly what ambergris was at the time, because no one had seen it. Then the emperor asked some alchemists with ambergris to ask some alchemists. Naturally, these alchemists didn’t know what it was. , But I can’t say that I don’t even know it. This will affect their status.
Ever since, this group of alchemy alchemists had a discussion together, since they don't know what this is?Then we will make up a history of identity for him. This thing comes from the sea, and the fragrance is better than the best musk, and the emperor likes it too. Then let it have something to do with the dragon. After some discussion, these alchemy The warlock concocted a perfect origin for Ambergris.
This is the saliva of a dragon in the sea when it sleeps. It drips into the sea and solidifies, and then it takes a long time to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon to form ambergris.
When the emperor heard that this was condensed from the dragon's saliva, he was naturally very happy, so he named this thing ambergris.
In fact, this thing has nothing to do with dragons. It is the fishermen of Camel Kingdom who really discovered the mystery of ambergris. These fishermen mainly live by catching sperm whales. When the sperm whale was divided again, an old fisherman was in the stomach of the sperm whale. A piece of ambergris was found.
At that time, these fishermen thought it was swallowed by sperm whales from the sea, and did not take this as a thing. At that time, after the news reached the ears of some marine biologists, it attracted their attention. These marine biology The family immediately conducted in-depth research and finally found the secret of Ambergris.
Sperm whales like to eat squid and octopus, but squid and octopus have tough horny jaws and red tongue in their mouths. These things are difficult to digest. When sperm whales swallow large mollusks, their jaws and tongue teeth are not digested in the stomach.
These lumps stimulate the intestines and stomach, and the intestines begin to secrete a special waxy substance, which is wrapped in bone scum. As time goes by, these waxy substances slowly form the original ambergris.
Scientists once found a clot of intestinal juice and clothing in the intestine of an 18-meter-long sperm whale. This is also considered the beginning of ambergris. Some ambergris will spit out the condensate, and some will spit out the intestine. Excreted from the body, only a few sperm whales keep ambergris in the body.
In other words, the ambergris, which was widely loved by royals and civilians in ancient and modern times, is actually the feces or vomit of sperm whales.
The ambergris discharged into the sea is initially black. Under the action of seawater, the ambergris gradually turns into gray, light gray, and finally white. The white ambergris has the best quality. It needs hundreds of Years of immersion in sea water can float all the impurities out, and become the best in ambergris.
The ambergris taken from the intestines of sperm whales by killing sperm whales is of no value. It must be soaked in sea water for decades and hundreds of years before it can be used.
In modern times, ambergris has always been an important raw material in the top perfumes of Gaul, and it is more expensive than gold. With the mass killing of sperm whales, the number of ambergris traded has been declining every year, and the quality has also been declining year by year. The price of Ambergris has skyrocketed to thousands of RMB per gram, which is much more valuable than gold.
