433. Sea Amber (5)

In Ao Muyang's plan, the reefs used to build tides are mainly mined from the seaside outside the village.

Longtou Village is distributed along the coastline and stretches for a long time. The coast of the village is not only a beach, but a considerable part of it is reefs. Every day, the waves slam the table and the sounds burst into thunder.

The tide fall dike has no choice for materials. In Ao Muyang's memory, some of the tide fall dikes in the village were piled up with stones, some were a broken ship across the sea, and some were a fallen tree.

This time, he chose to use reefs to build tide-falling embankments, and at the same time he developed the reef beach, and then filled it with sand to make an artificial beach.

As a result, he invited a construction team to mine the reefs. Someone stopped them in the middle, and the village craftsman Ao Zhiman and grandson Ao Jinfu were blocked.

Upon receiving the news, Ao Muyang hurried over and saw the grandfather and grandson sitting on the reef in a daze, with some excavators and stone crushers behind him.

This made him wonder: "Master Man, Xiaofu, what are you doing?"

He can be said to have a life-saving kindness to Ao Zhiman and his family. He can remember his first merit when he saved Man from the house crushed by snow and Ao Jinfu from the mouth of the poisonous snake.

It can be said that without Ao Muyang, both of these grandparents and grandsons were dead.

Ao Zhiman is a very stubborn old man, but he is not ungrateful.

After seeing Ao Muyang, his wrinkles spread a little, and he said, "Village Chief, can you stop opening this reef and beach?"

Ao Muyang said, "Master Man, why did you say this?"

Ao Zhiman looked around, then pulled him to the reef and whispered: "Let me tell you the truth, village chief, you have as much kindness as a mountain to my family, I have nothing to hide from you..."

"This reef beach is a treasure house, and sea amber is often washed up!"

Many people don’t know the name Hai Amber, but when it comes to beeswax, many people know it.

People who have studied jewelry are familiar with beeswax. In terms of material, it is not a gem, but its beauty is no less than many gems with brilliant light.

Although sea amber is just a common name for beeswax and is a name given by locals, this name itself is more in line with the identity of beeswax. In fact, beeswax is a type of amber, and it is no different from amber in terms of physical and chemical composition. It is just that because it is "color is like honey and light is like wax", it was named beeswax in ancient times.

The locals call it sea amber because people by the sea know that beeswax was born in the ocean, which started from the Eocene and Cretaceous years ago, 30 to 40 million to 100 million years ago.

During the Eocene and Cretaceous times, many coniferous plants grew on the earth: pine, cypress and maple trees. These trees were highly irritated by external geological periods and secreted a large amount of lipid liquid fell on the ground. They were buried deep into the ground as the geological layer changed. After more than 30 to 40 million years of stratigraphic pressure and heat, these lipid liquids turned into amber.

After the formation of amber, over the years, it has experienced various tempers such as the rise and fall of the earth's crust, the sun and rain, and the impact of glaciers and rivers. Some are exposed to the surface, and some are buried underground.

Due to heavy rainfall, many amber exposed on the surface were washed into the sea and become sea amber, some were washed into the lake and become lake amber, and those buried underground became mineral amber.

These ambers can be called beeswax, but sea pellets are often the purest texture. Because of the material, sea water cannot harm them, but can be purified and cleaned.

The most famous Haepo is the Baltic Sea coast, where the output reaches 80% of the total global output. In addition, some Haepo is also produced on the coast of China, India and the Nordic Sea, but in terms of quantity and quality, it is far inferior to the Baltic Sea.

Haipo is also produced along the Red Ocean coast. This is a local tourist project where tourists look for such beautiful marine treasures by the sea.

Occasionally, beeswax floats in Longtou Village, but although beeswax is beautiful, it is far less valuable than gems. Fishermen can at most exchange for some money to supplement their household use and cannot make a fortune.

Ao Muyang also picked up Haipo when he was a child, but the number was too small, and he could not pick up one or two pieces a year.

When I heard Ao Zhiman say that the waves would be pushed to the reef by Haipo, it was true. This thing was brought out from the sea by the constantly surging waves.

Ao Muyang shook his head and said, "Master Man, Hai Amber is not a valuable thing, and the output is very low. How many yuan can it be produced in the whole year?"

"Who told you that only a few pieces of production in the whole year?" Ao Zhiman interrupted him, and a meaningful smile appeared on his old face.

Ao Muyang said: "Okay, even if it produces a relatively high output, what's the use of the village? The projects I'm doing now are all for the whole village people, and to bring wealth to the old and young men in the village!"

The wrinkles on Ao Zhi's face suddenly became deeper. He rubbed the rough reef with his rough palms and murmured: "Oh, I know what you mean, village chief, you have trouble with the village, alas."

Ao Muyang said: "You said that sea amber is pushed up from time to time, right? Then, if you like this thing, I will give you all the sea amber they found during the construction team during the construction period. You can also search here by yourself, but be sure to pay attention to safety."

Ao Zhiman nodded silently. Ao Jinfu had something to say, but he opened his mouth and saw that his grandfather didn't say anything, he also fell silent.

This matter was solved. The engineering team continued to build, and Ao Muyang began to prepare for Ao Wenchang's marriage.

As the best man, he has to wear a suit.

Because the notice was urgent, it was too late to customize a suit. He went to ask and it would take at least half a month to customize a suit.

In this way, Lu Zhizi accompanied him to the city to buy a suit and new leather shoes, and finally paired it with a narrow-edged tie, which made him look very handsome.

Lu Zhizi also chose a cheongsam herself. She also received a wedding invitation from Ao Wenchang. All teachers had this invitation and received an invitation to attend the wedding.

Longtou Village is a closed fishing village, so many fishermen's customs have been preserved. This time, Ao Wenchang got married in accordance with the customs, which is completely different from Ao Qianlai's time.

Three days in advance of the wedding day, Ao Qianyao and his wife began to prepare.

The first day is called the night dinner for slaughtering, so the name means that on this day, the pigs that have been raised for banquets must be killed.

However, this was the past. Every household used to raise pigs to subsidize their household income. When they encountered a big happy event like their son got married, they killed them to entertain guests.

Now pigs don’t have to kill themselves. The meat used for wine is bought in the vegetable market. Ao Qianyao invited half of the village to eat this meal. Although the momentum is not as good as the pig-killing rice that Ao Muyang invited for the New Year after beating wild boars, it is also very lively.
