Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Only then did Feng Ji see that Fu Ming still had a cloth bag in his hand. When Fu Wan opened the bag and revealed the contents, his eyes suddenly widened.

"This, this, this...is this ambergris?!"

Fu Wan nodded, "Or maybe you are so knowledgeable that you recognized it at a glance."

Feng Ji looked pleased and reached out to pick up the small piece of ambergris, but then he remembered that he had just repaired the old clock and his hands were still dirty.

"This is good stuff. I need to go wash my hands. You guys sit wherever you want and wait for me!"

After saying that, he didn't even look back and rushed to the backyard.

Fu Wan and Fu Ming didn't mind, but Fu Ming didn't know the value of ambergris before. Now seeing Feng Ji, who usually had eyes on his forehead, change his attitude so much, he couldn't help but become curious about the small stone-like thing in his hand.

"Awan, how much do you think this thing can be sold for?"

Fu Wan shook her head, "I don't know either. Let's wait for Uncle Feng to come out and ask."

As he spoke, Feng Ji walked quickly towards them while wiping his hands with a piece of rag. He adjusted his reading glasses and carefully examined the ambergris through the cloth bag.

This piece of ambergris is the whitest one that Fu Wan picked out of all the ambergris. Although its surface is bumpy and has many potholes, its color is pure white and very beautiful.

"Yes, this is ambergris, a good piece of it."

Feng Ji brought the piece of ambergris close to his nose and sniffed it hard.

"Yes, yes, yes, that's the taste!"

Fu Wan: ...

If she hadn't been curious and smelled it before, she would have been fooled by Feng Ji's exaggerated action.

This is the excrement of a sperm whale. Apart from a slight stench, Fu Wan couldn't smell any other odor.

It can't possibly become fragrant once it reaches Feng Ji's hands, right?!

Or did she not smell it? After all, professionals do professional things.

Even so, she still couldn't look directly at Feng Ji's intoxicated expression, especially when she thought about what that thing was.

Perhaps seeing the disgust on Fu Wan's face, Feng Ji glared at her through his reading glasses.

"I don't know what kind of luck you have, girl.

It's okay to have abalone and oyster beads before, but this is rare ambergris, and you were so lucky to pick it up, and you still despise it?!

How could that be? Fu Wan smiled innocently, "I'm just a little surprised. It has no fragrance, so how can it be called ambergris?"

Feng Ji raised his eyebrows, looked at the brother and sister with puzzled expressions, and generously instructed them to sit down.

"I'm going to open your eyes, you two ignorant people!"

Then he sat down at the table with the piece of ambergris in his hand.

Fu Wan and Fu Ming sat down, then watched him take out a small knife from the drawer and carefully cut off a small piece the size of a fingernail.

Then Feng Ji took a small wooden bowl from the cabinet next to him. It didn't look like a cheap thing.

He put the small piece of ambergris in and ground it into powder with a tool. Then he took two bottles from the shelf next to him. As soon as he opened one of the bottles, Fu Wan smelled the scent of alcohol.

"This is alcohol. This bottle of ambergris solution is from my collection. It was made for me by an old friend."

Feng Ji patiently explained to Fu Wan and Fu Ming. Just when he was mixing the ambergris powder with the liquid in the two bottles, Fu Wan and Fu Ming suddenly smelled a fragrance.

How can I describe that fragrance? When you first smell it, you will feel like you are in an ancient forest, surrounded by the woody fragrance of the forest. But if you smell it for a long time, you can feel the freshness of the ocean. In short, it is very intoxicating.

Looking at Fu Wan and Fu Ming enjoying themselves, Feng Ji couldn't help feeling a little smug.

"Ambergris is a top-grade spice. I've only processed this ambergris briefly, so it's still raw. If I mix it with alcohol every day and soak it for a few months, it will eventually become mature ambergris, which will smell even better."

Fu Wan was now truly full of admiration for Feng Ji. This good thing could only be useful if it met someone who knew how to use it. Unlike her, she only wanted to exchange it for money when she saw it.

After all, she doesn't have the interest to deal with ambergris every day.

However, she was most concerned about one issue, which was the sales of ambergris.

"Uncle Feng, how much does this thing cost per pound?"

Feng Ji touched his chin and thought for a moment.

"I don't know how much it costs per pound. After all, I'm in this small place now, and it's hard for me to come across such a rare thing."

"Then we won't be able to sell this thing?!"

Fu Ming was quick-witted. Feng Ji couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard what he said. "You've all come to me. How can I prevent you from selling anything?"

After saying that, he rummaged through the books piled on the shelf next to him, and finally took out a newspaper and placed it in front of Fu Wan.

Fu Wan took the newspaper and read it. It said that a piece of ambergris was auctioned in Hong Kong last month and sold at a high price of 30,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Fu Wan was so itchy when she saw this that she wished she could sell the ambergris in her home for cash quickly.

But she can't go to faraway Hong Kong!

"Uncle Feng, I can't go to Hong Kong either!"

It was not as convenient as it is now. For example, Hong Kong had not yet returned to China, and mainlanders would face various forms of discrimination when they went to Hong Kong.

"Did I ask you to go to Hong Kong? I'm just showing you how expensive this thing is!"

Feng Ji said unhappily, "There's no need to take this stuff to Hong Kong. The ambergris sold at auction in Hong Kong isn't as pure as yours. Look at the colors, they're very mixed!"

Everything is valuable when it is pure, and ambergris is no exception. The whiter the ambergris, the longer it has been aged, the better it has been naturally fermented, and the more expensive it is.

Feng Ji also said he was tired, so he picked up a cup of tea on the table, took a big gulp, and then smacked the tea leaves in his mouth.

"I'll find a market for your ambergris. Go to the capital!"

"Go to the capital?!"

Fu Ming exclaimed, the capital, that was the place he had always longed for!

"Yes, let's go to the capital. There's a place called Panjiayuan in the capital. I have an old friend who lives there. Go find him. He can probably eat this ambergris!"

Fu Wan was delighted to hear that Feng Ji had even chosen the buyer, but she was also a little uncertain.

"Uncle Feng, we still have some ambergris at home. Can your friend buy it?"

The capital is so big and the waters are deep. If Feng Ji’s friend can’t buy all the goods, she will have to find someone else.

"There's still a little left. How much is it?"

"Not much, probably more than ten pounds!"

Feng Ji's eyes almost popped out when he heard this. "More than ten kilograms! Are you kidding me, an old man? This is rare ambergris, and you think it's just a lump of dirt!"

After saying this, Feng Ji saw that the expressions on Fu Wan and Fu Ming's faces had not changed at all, and their faces were full of sincerity.

But at this time, this sincerity may cause some hatred.

Well, Feng Ji, who is over sixty years old, knows for the first time what envy is. How can this person be so lucky? It’s really frustrating to compare yourself with others!
