Goldfinger is a bit strange

The sea water not far away has begun to rise slowly. Everyone picked up the fruits of victory, each carrying a big bucket, and excitedly set off on the way home.

"Ouch."

Captain Yu was tripped by a stone, stumbled, and fell on the beach. The seafood in the bucket was also scattered all over the ground. Several big crabs crawled sideways in a panic.

"Old Yu, did you do something bad last night? Your feet are floating." Someone teased.

After picking up the seafood on the ground, Captain Yu also kicked the stone angrily.

The beach here is all soft sand, where did the stone come from.

The stone was gray and bigger than a basketball, but it was kicked and rolled on the sand a few times, which was obviously a bit inconsistent with its weight.

Hey, Liu Qingshan hurriedly went up, stretched out his hand to pick up the stone, weighed it, and felt it was light.

In fact, it seemed to be more than ten pounds, but compared with the size of the stone, it didn’t feel heavy at all.

At the same time, an unpleasant fishy smell rushed into Liu Qingshan's nose, making him frown.

Thinking of a certain possibility, Liu Qingshan did not dislike it at all, but showed excitement on his face: "Haha, maybe we really picked up a treasure this time!"

When everyone heard it, they all gathered around. Xiaowu was closest to the stone, and he was vomited a few times: "What treasure? I think it's just a stone from the toilet. It's too smelly!"

The people around also dispersed in disgust.

Liu Qingshan didn't care at all: "If I'm not wrong, this thing is the legendary ambergris, which is more precious than musk."

Basically, everyone had never heard of it. Information was not developed in this era.

Only Captain Yu's family was by the sea. He had heard some rumors about ambergris and came up excitedly:

"I heard that this thing won't sink if thrown into the water. Let's throw it into the sea and try it?"

Forget it, Liu Qingshan waved his hand. He also saw ambergris once from his mute grandfather.

That is a very small piece, only the size of a baby's fist, and the smell is not as strong as this one.

In addition to being used as a fixative for perfume, ambergris is also a precious medicinal material, and its efficacy is basically similar to that of musk.

It is just because it is relatively rare, so it is more precious than musk.

As for the name, the ancients, because of their limited knowledge, mistakenly thought that this thing was formed by ambergris.

Modern science has proved that ambergris is actually a substance produced in the digestive tract of sperm whales in the ocean, excreted from the body, and slowly formed after being washed by sea water.

However, it is not an exaggeration to call a giant like a sperm whale a dragon.

It is just not ambergris, it should be called dragon shit incense.

And Evera and the others also came up, sniffed the stone in Liu Qingshan's arms, and jumped away, still talking about something in their mouths.

He spoke in the local dialect, and only Xiaowu could understand a little: "He said that Chief Adu's house has this kind of stinky fragrance. When guests come, he lights some powder and the whole house is filled with fragrance."

The climate here is hot and relatively dry, so it is not convenient to take a bath. If many people gather together, the smell is really not very pleasant.

However, the local area is rich in two famous medicinal materials: frankincense and myrrh.

So when distinguished guests come to the house, they will light some frankincense as an air freshener.

It is already luxurious enough to light frankincense. I didn't expect the chief to light ambergris. I don't know if he is a local tyrant or a spendthrift?

You know, the price of ambergris is extremely expensive, far exceeding that of gold.

It is estimated that the chief doesn't know this thing and doesn't know its true value.

Just like the piece in Liu Qingshan's arms, it should be more than ten kilograms. It is no problem to sell it for one or two million US dollars.

I didn't expect that there are treasures everywhere here. Just this piece of stone is enough to build a power plant here.

After hearing what Evera said, Liu Qingshan estimated that he should be able to pick up ambergris here frequently.

So he asked Xiaowu to tell him: If you find this kind of stinky stone again in the future, come here to exchange for things, and you will definitely be able to exchange a lot.

This place has a long and narrow coastline, so the possibility of ambergris being washed ashore is of course very high.

Evera was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ran away. Not long after, he ran back with a fist-sized stone in his hand.

The color is grayer than Liu Qingshan's, but a discerning person can see that it is indeed the same kind of thing.

Is it true?

Liu Qingshan was also a little surprised. The ambergris that Evera found was obviously of better quality than his. Although it was much smaller, the price should be about the same.

This actually stumped him. If it was exchanged for supplies, the amount would be a bit terrifying.

After thinking it over, Liu Qingshan asked, "Effa, what do you want to exchange? I will try my best to satisfy you."

Effa's face lit up. He obviously understood what Liu Qingshan meant. This stinky stone could bring many things to his people.

After thinking for a long time, Effa said in unskilled English, "Liu, I want something that can glow at night."

"You mean the light bulb?" Liu Qingshan didn't quite understand and asked again.

"Yes, it's the kind of light that can glow by itself." Effa smiled, showing a neat white teeth.

It is estimated that with his knowledge, he didn't know what electricity was. He just simply thought that with a light bulb, it can glow.

Liu Qingshan's heart was deeply touched. He remembered that when he was still in elementary school, there was no electricity in Jiapigou at that time. How could the villagers' desire for electric lights be the same?

"Okay, Everya, I promise you!"

Liu Qingshan nodded in response. The value of these two pieces of ambergris is more than enough to build a power station, and it will also benefit the local indigenous people.

But he is not short of money now, so he might as well take these two pieces of ambergris back to honor his master. They should be of greater use in the hands of the mute grandpa.

The frankincense and myrrh produced here are of the best quality and were brought back to the master.

When we returned to the temporary station, it was already noon. The seafood we brought back was directly steamed or boiled in large pots, occupying more than ten large pots.

Then put it into large basins and serve it on the table.

Liu Qingshan started directly and opened a large lobster. There was snow-white shrimp meat inside. The heat and aroma came out, making people smell the strong umami flavor at once.

There is no need to dip it in any seasonings, just take a bite. The delicious feeling makes Liu Qingshan reluctant to swallow it.

Now everyone is satisfied. It is the first time for many people to eat sea crabs. How could they eat this in inland areas before?

The seafood feast in front of me was unimaginable.

Everya and his group were also left behind, but they obviously didn't have much interest in crabs, lobsters, etc.

Instead, he feasted on the pot of camel meat stewed with potatoes.

Camel meat is often eaten by Efuya and the others. It is the main meat here, but they don’t think it’s so fragrant?

Little do they know that Chinese cuisine has a long history, and the taste of the same food is definitely far superior to that of others.

After eating, Everya gestured to get the light bulb. Xiao Wu explained to him for a long time before he made them understand: just having the light bulb is in vain.

This made Efua very depressed, but after hearing that the power station was going to be built, he immediately became happy again and hurriedly led the people away, saying that he wanted to report to the chief.

Liu Qingshan was sitting on the floor with the technicians and captain, discussing the results of their two days of inspection.

The top priority now is to dig wells and build power stations.

With water, we can irrigate and cultivate. As for growing grain and vegetables, they brought everything with them when they came.

With electricity, other industrial projects can be launched one after another.

As for the exploration of oil on the coastline, Liu Qingshan feels that there is no rush. It is better to wait until the area stabilizes and has a certain ability to withstand risks before inviting exploration ships to explore.

After all, oil is too coveted, so don't make it a wedding dress for others.

The cargo ship sails at a slightly slower speed, and it is estimated that it will take a few days to reach here. In the long run, a pier will definitely need to be built.

In short, there is everything that needs to be done, enough to keep them busy.

In the afternoon, Efuya came over happily again and told Liu Qingshan that it was Chief Adu who would invite them as guests tomorrow.

Liu Qingshan had also wanted to visit for a long time, but he had been busy setting up the camp these two days, and now he was basically on track, so he agreed.

After breakfast the next day, Liu Qingshan led the group to set off, accompanied by Xiaowu and Ma Laosan, as well as Li Tie, Li Tieniu, the quartet of the band, Wang Gong and several other technicians, and a Class veterans.

Motor vehicles and everything else are on the cargo ship at the back, so you can only take the most primitive form of transportation: the ox cart.

But there were two people pushing bicycles, and the wheels were digging into the sand, making it difficult to push, let alone ride.

"Who asked me to bring the bicycle? You don't have any brains. The bicycle here is just a decoration." Xiao Wu complained while pushing the bicycle.

It's all sandy here, so it's really not suitable for bicycles.

However, these two bicycles are not for riding, they have their own uses.

The bullock cart wandered for more than three hours, and then we saw a village in front of us. It was said to be a village, but it was actually a settlement.

There are basically no facilities that a village should have, only simple thatched huts.

It is indeed a thatched hut, just supported by a few logs, covered with thatch, and surrounded by thatch.

There are occasionally a few huts with thin mud walls. Anyway, it's not cold here all year round, so there's no need to worry about keeping warm.

Sheep and camels can be seen everywhere in the settlement, and the ground is also covered with dung, which is dried and used to make fires.

Dirty, messy, and poor are the perfect words to describe this place.

You can see many little black children running around barefoot.

I also saw some indigenous women wearing brightly colored robes and headscarves. They hid in panic when they saw outsiders.

"Aju, don't take pictures, maybe people will beat you up." Ma Laosan patted lead singer Huang on the shoulder.

Xiao Wu also added: "Also, don't take pictures of those camels without the owner's permission."

Lead singer Huang could only put away the camera silently, and then stared at the extremely simple thatched hut in trance.

"You are here." Efuya emerged from nowhere, said hello, and led the way.

In fact, everyone can find the chief's residence without him leading the way, because there is only one decent house in the entire settlement.

The houses are white because of their faith.

Liu Qingshan remembered a joke: If you go to a strange village and want to find the village chief's house, just find the biggest and best house in the village, and it will basically be good.

It seems that this rule also works here.

Efuya ran into the house to report the news, and soon, a group of people came out to greet them. The one in the front was wearing a decent suit, about 40 years old, with a super big belly and a big beard.

He was also wearing a turban on his head, which didn't match the suit on his body, and it looked awkward no matter how he looked at it.

Xiaowu hurriedly introduced: "This is Chief Adu, Your Excellency, this is our company's general manager, Liu."

Liu Qingshan blinked and glanced at the chief's big belly: I guess it would be more appropriate to call him Chief Adu?

So he stepped forward to shake hands, and Chief Adu was very enthusiastic. He held Liu Qingshan's hand tightly with both hands, and greeted him in a long-winded way in his broken English.

He never stops talking. He has been talking for several minutes, but he still refuses to let go. He has the potential to be a chatterbox. 7K妏婩

Liu Qingshan also knows that the locals have this habit. The longer they talk to you, the closer they are to you, so he can only chat with them awkwardly:

What about your wives, children, camels, etc.

Just when he was about to say hello, Xiao Wu behind him helped him out: "Your Excellency Chief, this is a gift we brought to you."

When he heard about the gift, the chief let go of his hand, and then saw the two bicycles, and was a little dazed.

He has been to big cities, and his experience is certainly far beyond those ordinary indigenous residents. He knows that this thing is called a bicycle, but here, it is not rideable at all.

Liu Qingshan also saw the chief's thoughts, so he turned the bicycle upside down on the ground, took out a set of equipment, assembled it on the car, and finally extended a light bulb.

Ask someone to shake the pedals of the bicycle, and the wheels will rotate in the air. Then, the filament inside the light bulb in his hand will begin to glow red. If it is night, it will definitely be very bright.

Chief Adu has been to big cities and seen electric lights. He was so happy that the fat on his face trembled and he kept cheering.

That's right, what Liu Qingshan brought over was a set of bicycle electric lights. This thing generates electricity by friction. It doesn't cost electricity, but someone must always shake the pedals.

Chief Adu's shouting attracted several women in headscarves in the house to come over and watch the strange things.

These are the wives of the chief, ranging in age from over 40 to teens. There are also a group of little guys around them, who should all be the children of the chief's family.

Liu Qingshan just said hello verbally. He heard from Xiaowu that he couldn't shake hands with women here.

This gift was obviously welcomed by the chief's family. Liu Qingshan and Xiaowu were allowed into the house.

As for the soldiers of that squad, they were all outside the house, continuing to fiddle with another gift for the chief.

The furnishings in the house were quite luxurious, with camel wool carpets on the floor and coffee utensils, all of which were very exquisite silverware.

Coupled with the big diamond ring on Chief Adu's hand, Liu Qingshan and the others felt a strong sense of local tyrants.

The local coffee was very fragrant and tasted very good.

While drinking and chatting, Chief Adu was about to get to the point when he suddenly heard a muffled bang outside the house, which scared him so much that he lay directly on the ground:

"No, someone is firing a cannon, it must be another tribe coming!"

The earth was hazy, and there was a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim bloody rain.

The city was in ruins, everything was withered, collapsed houses could be seen everywhere, and blue-black corpses and pieces of meat were seen everywhere, like broken autumn leaves, silently withering.

The streets that used to be bustling are now bleak.

The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.

Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper remained, and it was indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.

Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.

The white fur had long been soaked into wet red, full of eerie and weirdness.

The turbid eyes seemed to have some resentment, looking alone at the mottled stones in front.

There, a figure was lying.

This was a 13 or 14-year-old boy, with tattered clothes and full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.

The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his tattered coat from all directions, swept through his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture was gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog, and occasionally observing the surroundings alertly.
