Chapter 163 Ambergris
Liu Hong looked at Lu Feng with anticipation. He knew that Lu Feng must have many goods in his hands that could make him earn a lot of gold and silver. He had never been to Longcheng and did not know the situation in Bingzhou. When Liu Hong came to Longcheng, he realized that the place where Lu Feng lived was more comfortable than the Luoyang City Imperial Palace where he lived, and it was simply a fairyland on earth.
During these days in Longcheng, Liu Hong felt that his life was more comfortable than being an emperor. Since he had died once, Liu Hong looked down on power and women, but only money was the one that Liu Hong could not let go of. I don’t know if it was due to nature. Money was inexplicably attractive to Liu Hong, which made him fall in love with gold, silver and other things. Therefore, Liu Hong wanted to open his own chamber of commerce in Bingzhou to make money for him. But when he first came to Bingzhou, he had nothing to let him do business, so he hit Su Shuang.
Liu Hong knew that the supervisor of Bingzhou Trading Company was Su Shuang, so he wanted to get some goods from Su Shuang to sell for his chamber of commerce. However, when he went to Su Shuang to ask for it, Su Shuang refused without hesitation. Since then, Liu Hong and Su Shuang have gone to Su Shuang, basically looking for Su Shuang every day, asking Su Shuang to let go, and even lifted Lu Feng out without hesitation, but Su Shuang didn't accept it without hesitation.
So when Liu Hong heard that his son-in-law Lu Feng had returned, he rushed to the conference hall to stage this drama.
Lu Feng thought for a long time, but he didn't know what to sell for Liu Hong. Lu Feng did have many things. Whether it was technical or other rare treasures, Lu Feng could take them out, but this was to let Liu Hong take them out specifically for sale, which made Lu Feng very distressed.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Feng suddenly thought that there was something that Liu Hong could take out and sell, and this thing would definitely be very popular.
Lu Feng asked everyone to go and then took Su Shuang and his father-in-law Liu Hong to the big lake in the backyard of his home.
The lake in the backyard of Lu Feng’s house is very large, so large that it can accommodate more than a dozen blue whales side by side. This lake is also the source of fishing for people in the inner city.
This big lake is a systematic fish pond. Like the ranch in the inner city of Longcheng, it is responsible for freeing animals. There are many fish in fresh water or sea water in the large pond. Lu Feng brought the two of them here to make these fish.
"Son-in-law, what are you bringing us here for? Are you here to fish?" Liu Hong asked in confusion. Although Su Shuang was also full of questions, he knew that the lord brought them here must have something to do with him, or if he had something to tell him to do, so although he was curious, he did not ask.
"Haha, my father-in-law, don't you want a product that is not available in the world and sell it in your business? I'm going to take you to see this thing." Lu Feng replied with a smile.
"Commodities? There is only one big lake here. Where are the products you are talking about?" Liu Hong looked around the lake, but he did not see a decent product.
"The things are naturally underwater," Lu Feng said with a smile.
Lu Feng didn't explain to the two of them, and whistled at the water, "Wow!!".
After a while, a huge monster slowly emerged under the water of the lake in front of Liu Hong and Su Shuang. Liu Hong looked at the giant creature more than ten meters long in front of him with shock. This can be said to be the biggest thing Liu Hong has ever seen in the world.
The giant beast in front of Liu Hong and Su Shuang is not unusual for later generations. Many people can recognize it at a glance that the giant beast dozens of meters long in front of them is the largest creature in the sea.
That's right, the product Lu Feng wants to give to Liu Hong is whales. To be precise, what Lu Feng wants to give to Liu Hong is ambergris exclusively. The so-called Longyanxiang is actually the product in the large intestines of whales such as sperm whales, which is commonly known as whale feces.
In the Han Dynasty, fishermen caught some wax-like drifts in the sea with a grayish white fragrance. This is the finished ambergris that has naturally degenerated for many years. From a few kilograms to dozens of kilograms, there is a strong fishy smell, but it can emit a lasting aroma after drying. When it is lit, it is even more fragrant than musk. Some local officials contributed it to the emperor in the palace as a treasure after purchasing it, and used it as a spice or as a medicine in the palace. At that time, no one knew what treasure it was. They asked the "chemists" alchemists in the palace. They believed that this was the saliva flowing out of the "dragon" in the sea when they were sleeping, dripping into the sea water and solidifying. After a long time, it became "ambergris". Some people also said that in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, people had mixed ambergris, musk and plant spices and made into sachets and hung them on the head of the bed or on the bed.
Lu Feng thought for a long time and finally planned to give ambergris to Liu Hong as the main product of his chamber of commerce. Although Liu Hong has become an "ordinary" businessman, if he sells ambergris, he will be somewhat suspected. However, with Lu Feng, this matter will never happen. Therefore, Lu Feng thought of using ambergris to give ambergris to Liu Hong as a product.
And only Lu Feng can produce ambergris regularly. Most people now think ambergris is really the saliva flowing out of a dragon when he sleeps, but they absolutely cannot believe that their so-called dragon saliva is actually the feces of a sperm whale.
"Xiao...Yao...Xiaoyao, you mean, the ambergris I used in the palace before were actually from this huge guy..." Liu Hong asked with a slutty face, but the last two words could not be said.
Su Shuang also looked shocked. Although he had heard of ambergris, he knew that ambergris was not something he could use. Not to mention that he had never even read it after using it.
Liu Hong really couldn't accept it. In the past, he often wore sachets, accessories and other items with the aroma of ambergris in the palace. It was actually the feces of the huge underwater creature in front of him. It was like you were eating ice cream. Suddenly someone told you that you were eating dog feces. It was disgusting to think about it, but now you are going to see the real product, which is simply a bolt from the blue.
"Haha, my father-in-law, why don't we try it and you will know." Lu Feng said with a disgusting smile.
In fact, the main reason why Lu Feng chose ambergris is to disgust Liu Hong. You said that you are an ordinary person now, just be an ordinary person peacefully, but you just need to find trouble and open a business. Can't I, Lu Feng, still support you as a "Last Emperor"?
However, based on his respect for Liu Hong, his father-in-law, Lu Feng still didn't want to care about Liu Hong's future life. After all, everyone has the right to choose how to live. But Lu Feng just saw Su Shuang's bitter smile, which was so bitter that Liu Hong had not harassed Su Shuang a little, which made Lu Feng a little unhappy.
The Bingzhou Chamber of Commerce, under the supervision of Su Shuang, mainly manages Bingzhou's commercial income, and each item is registered clearly, but Liu Hong wants to get a piece of the pie. If you want to share it, tell me first. Go directly to Su Shuang. Isn't that slap me in the face? Therefore, Lu Feng wanted to disgust Liu Hong. (To be continued.
