Chapter 304 Dragon's Spit
305
She put the porcelain bottle on the table, took out the veil wrapping the baby, opened the veil gently, put five pieces of white things into the small bottle, and put the small porcelain bottle back I plan to go to the beach tomorrow to pick some up and take them out of the cave to dry.

At dawn the next day, before Qiao Qiongyan and Xiaozhu woke up, Beibei went to the beach.

But today's luck was obviously not as good as yesterday's. She searched for half an hour but couldn't find half a piece of white thing.

Feeling a little numbness in the legs from squatting, I sat on the beach and rested.

"Bei Bei, why are you here again so early in the morning?" Qiao Qiongyan and Xiao Zhu came to look for her after waking up.

"Girl Beibei, are you still looking for those white things from yesterday?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"Yes, but I didn't find any today." Beibei stood up in disappointment. Just as she was about to pat off the sand printed on her hands, she found that there was a lump of off-white matter printed on her palms, and it also exuded the same smell as yesterday. Baby-like fishy smell.

Beibei's phoenix eyes lit up, she smelled the off-white thing again, and then curled up the corners of her lips, it really pays off, today is finally worth it!
Seeing her wrapping up another piece of off-white stinky thing, Qiao Qiongyan and Xiaozhu were in a mess in the wind.

Beibei couldn't be obsessed, right?
Yesterday she picked up a white smelly thing, Beibei said it was a treasure, and the two of them reluctantly believed it, but what happened to this gray and white foul-smelling dirty thing?

Seeing the two people looking at him with strange expressions, Beibei glanced at them: "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Qiao Qiongyan thought about it, and then asked tentatively in what she thought was the least hurtful tone: "Bebe, do you like something with a peculiar smell?"

Hearing this, Beibei gave a "puchi" smile, blinked her phoenix eyes and smiled slyly: "Why do I like something with a peculiar smell? This is the spittle of a dragon!"

"Dragon's spittle?!" Qiao Qiongyan and Xiao Zhu exclaimed, looking at her with more complicated eyes.

Seeing their tangled and depressed faces, Beibei was angry and funny, so she had to tell the truth.

"Actually, this thing is called ambergris, which is a kind of incense. This kind of ambergris is formed by the hard resistance of the intestines of the whale's digestive system. It takes decades or even hundreds of years of waves to form. It's a hard-to-find thing, the smell of this ambergris is too strong, it will make people feel sick at first smell, but after drying and diluting, it smells better than any other kind of incense."

"Does it smell better than the herbs and flowers you gave me last time?" Qiao Qiongyan was confused, only hearing that the ambergris was incense, and asked curiously.

"These two things are simply incomparable." Seeing that Qiao Qiongyan couldn't forget the scent of those herbs, Beibei was speechless. The herbs in her yard had been confiscated, and she didn't want to cause another disturbance.

"Girl Beibei, you know a lot!" Xiaozhu looked at Beibei with starry eyes.

Qiao Qiongyan curled her lips in disappointment, looked at the off-white piece of ambergris in Beibei's handkerchief and asked, "Didn't the one we picked up yesterday be white? Why is this one off-white?"

Beibei hooked her lips, and solved the doubts for the two of them: "I just said that this ambergris is formed by the intestinal obstruction of the whale's digestive system. It is the secretion of the whale's intestines. It was a black lump at first After years of seawater washing, it gradually turns into off-white or white finished dragon incense, and white dragon incense has a longer washing time and a purer taste than off-white dragon incense.”

Qiao Qiongyan and Xiao Zhu still had a half-knowledge, but this did not prevent them from being curious about the ambergris.

"Beibei, let's find some more and dry them quickly." Seeing that Beibei looked confident, Qiao Qiongyan no longer doubted it, and squatted down to continue searching seriously.

"It's getting late, let's go back to have breakfast before coming back, it's not too late."

Because of the ambergris, Qiao Qiongyan was not in a hurry to go back to the county. She and Beibei went to the beach every day to look for ambergris, but this ambergris was so rare that the three of them searched for it for two days. After digging around, I found several pieces of finished Longxiang.

Based on memory, Beibei thought about what she had read in books before, that this kind of dragon incense could be found not only on the beach, but also on the sea, so she took Qiao Qiongyan and Xiaozhu to row out to sea.

Sometimes this person's luck comes, and he can't stop it. As soon as they rowed the boat not far away, they found gray-white waxy floating objects floating on the sea.

Bei Bei was overjoyed, and shouted: "Qiong Yan, Xiao Zhu, these are also Chengkou Longxiang!"

Hearing this, Qiao Qiongyan and Xiaozhu were also full of surprises, but after the surprise, they became worried again: "How do I get this?"

These things are floating on the sea surface, and they are so small, there is no way for fishing nets to pick them up.

"There is a bamboo basket on the boat, I'll go down and fish it." Beibei jumped into the sea with the bamboo basket without waiting for Qiao Qiongyan and Xiaozhu to respond.

"Babe!"

"Baby girl!"

Qiao Qiongyan and Xiaozhu screamed, and then they remembered that Beibei could swim, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Beibei went into the sea, and slowly picked up the finished dragon incense floating on the sea with a bamboo basket, because the wind at sea was strong, and the floating objects drifted with the wind, so it was not easy to catch them.

Fortunately, there are a lot of finished dragon incense in this sea, Beibei's hands and feet are numb from soaking in the water, and finally he caught a large bowl of finished dragon incense.

Looking at the Longxiang in the bamboo basket, Beibei raised her eyebrows and eyes.

"Qiongyan, Xiaozhu, give me a hand, my whole body is a little numb." Beibei handed the bamboo basket to the boat first, lying on the side of the boat with a pale face, unable to climb up.

Qiao Qiongyan pulled her up, and while wringing the water from her hair, she scolded: "These things can't run away, so why work so hard?"

Even if this ambergris is really as good as she said, there's no need to make a joke of it like this.

"I can run!" Beibei said solemnly, "The sea is so stormy, maybe these dragon fragrances will go somewhere tomorrow."

Qiao Qiongyan rolled her eyes and scolded, "Is this thing more important than my life?"

"Miss, don't talk about it, let Miss Beibei go home and change the wet clothes on her body." Xiao Zhu said, although the weather is hot now, but Miss Beibei has been soaking in the sea for so long, and she wears wet clothes again. If the clothes are blown in the air, it will be bad if they catch cold.

"Can you row a boat?" Qiao Qiongyan looked at Bei Bei with pale lips and asked worriedly, worrying that she was exhausted.

"I'm going slowly." Beibei sat slumped on the boat and panted.

"Girl Beibei, why don't you eat a piece of pastry to replenish your energy." Xiaozhu was very glad that his lady was hungry just now, so she took out two pieces of the mung bean cake that Feng made for Feng Yucai and Yan.
