Ye Yuan never expected that Nibel would give him such a big surprise.

The hardness and density of mammoth ivory itself is superior to that of Asian and African ivory.

Compared with the latter two, it is more suitable for making various handicrafts.

Because of these two reasons and characteristics, the price of fine mammoth ivory is already higher than that of modern ivory.

Even if you have money, it is difficult to buy.

Because the ivory carvings are exquisite, gorgeous, durable and precious, it has the reputation of "organic gemstone"!

And mammoth ivory is the best raw material for tooth carving.

So for Ye Yuan, who is already a master sculptor.

I have always wanted to have a tooth carving of my own.

But the raw materials for tooth carving are too difficult to obtain.

So this wish has never been fulfilled.

Now, with such a large pair of mammoth tusks sent by Nibel, Ye Yuan's wish will soon come true.

The reason why mammoth ivory is so valued by Ye Yuan is also related to its rarity.

As we all know, mammoth tusks are the remains of prehistoric animals.

Most of the ivory found was either calcified or decayed, and did not meet the standards for carving.

The yield that can actually be used for engraving is only a pitiful 20%, and ivory in good condition is even rarer, making it especially precious!

This is also the reason why Ye Yuan came over to check out this ivory immediately.

Ye Yuan looked at the complete mammoth tusk. Its appearance showed a "C" shape, with only one bend in the whole tusk.

The ivory is gray-brown in color, and Ye Yuan knows that this is caused by being buried underground for a long time and being corroded by the mineral components in the soil.

But once this outer layer is broken open, the "tooth material" part of the ivory should be mainly milky white and milky yellow, without any gray tint.

After playing with the intact mammoth tusk for a while.

Ye Yuan temporarily gave up checking the ivory and turned to open a larger wooden box.

This wooden box contains mink coats of various styles.

In the country of fur bears, mink coats are very popular.

Someone once said, "In Mao Xiong, you can live without food, but you can't live without minks!"

Ye Yuan couldn't decide whether this sentence was true or not, but people in Mao Xiong were very enthusiastic about mink clothing.

Therefore, the price of mink fur in the fur bear country is also very expensive.

Not only in Mao Xiong, but also in Northeast China, mink clothing is also a symbol of wealthy people.

Ye Yuan looked at the four coats made of sable fur in the box. Even Ye Yuan couldn't put it down.

Many people think that sable fur is purple, but this is completely wrong.

Sables are actually brown. They are called sables because the tips of their fur reflect the light in the sun, giving people the illusion of a "purple" color.

Because sable is very expensive and rare, 90% of the mink furs sold in shopping malls that claim their fur is sable are fake.

The kind of mink skins sold all over the street now are made from North American mink, which is also commonly known as mink skin.

Because there are naturally white varieties of mink, you can dye them any color you want.

There are also many unscrupulous merchants who pass off various furs as sable and sell them.

The fur of real sable is thick but light in weight.

Although the hair is long, it does not like to fall out. Although there are guard hairs, it is extremely soft. The skin is soft and thin but strong.

Those that are heavy, lint-prone, rough to the touch, and have hard and brittle leather are all fakes.

Ye Yuan knew that even in the Bear Country, a place like this produced sables.

The price of a piece of sable skin is also very expensive.

Let's put it this way, in the country of the furry bear, the price of a sable skin can reach up to more than 10,000 euros, and if you want to make a coat, it will consume dozens of mink skins.

One can imagine how precious the coats placed in front of Ye Yuan were all made of sable fur.

The most important thing is that this is not something you can buy if you have money.

It is extremely difficult to buy the real thing.

It is very possible that by accident, what you buy is a sable that is fake mink skin.

Seeing these clothes, the first thing Ye Yuan thought of was his parents and elder sister. Fortunately, the styles of clothes Nibel sent happened to be for two men and two women.

In this way, the coat problem for Ye Yuan's family of four has been solved.

After putting down his clothes, Ye Yuan opened several wooden boxes one after another. The things inside were quite complicated.

Most of them are furs and they are fully processed furs, including wolf skins and arctic fox skins.

Regarding these, Ye Yuan was really speechless.

If you give me a few mink coats, Ye Yuan can accept it, but what the hell are you giving me so many furs for?

Suddenly Ye Yuan remembered that he had promised Ma Hua yesterday that he would bring some small gifts to the crew, and it happened that these wolf skins were given to the crew as gifts.

This solves the embarrassing situation where so many wolf skins have nowhere to deal with.

Ye Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was actually thinking about how to deal with something that others couldn't get.

Now that he has thought of a way to deal with it, Ye Yuan no longer has to worry about so many furs.

And he himself continued to look at the next 'little gift'.

What Ye Yuan doesn't know is that in Kamchatka, people breed sables and arctic foxes, which can be seen everywhere.

Therefore, many local people use furs to make gifts and give them to their better friends.

Next, Ye Yuan had another headache.

Look at the more than ten wall hangings made of large and small reindeer heads.

Ye Yuan was also speechless for a while.

It's quite novel to give one of these things to Nima. The Nibel people gave so many of them, what should Ye Yuan do with them?

But Ye Yuan is not worried either.

There were so many villas on his island, and he really didn't believe that there was even one hanging in each villa. There were still things he couldn't handle.

Finally, Ye Yuan found the thing he wanted to see most besides the mammoth tusks in the innermost wooden box.

A beautifully crafted white tiger skin.

There are many stories about the white tiger in Chinese legends.

But as modern people, we all know the reason why there are white tigers.

That's because tigers suffer from albinism.

So this also shows that the number of white tigers is very rare.

Ye Yuan still liked this tiger skin very much.

He also had in his hand a piece of tiger skin that he had obtained from a Bali tiger before.

But because the size of the Bali tiger is too small, and the tiger skin is really not flattering.

After finding this tiger skin, Ye Yuan's goal this time was considered to be achieved. In the end, only two boxes were left unopened.

Ye Yuan simply opened both boxes at once.

One of them was filled with tiger bones, which was what Ye Yuan specifically ordered after knowing that Nibel could obtain such things.

After all, your own tiger bone wine still needs a lot of tiger bones as raw materials.

He collected these tiger bones into the space and arranged for the robot inside to continue brewing another batch of tiger bone wine according to the wine recipe obtained previously.
