Xiao Ping was irritated by Lorenzo's aggressive attitude. He walked up to Lorenzo with a blank face, first hooked Jessica's slender waist very naturally, and then said coldly to Lorenzo: "Since you claim to be an expert, you won't see it yourself after the auction starts!"

Angered by Xiao Ping's attitude, and even more angry that he was holding Jessica's waist, Lorenzo shouted out in a gaffe: "I must demolish you!"

"Idiot!" Xiao Ping coldly dropped these two words, and then said to Jessica with a smile: "Honey, let's go have a drink before the auction starts!"

Of course, Jessica knew that Xiao Ping was deliberately angry with Lorenzo by doing this, and the female reporter even felt that Xiao Ping's big hand on her waist was still moving restlessly, but she didn't show the slightest anger, but smiled cooperatively: "Okay, I'm just thirsty." ”

Under Lorenzo's angry gaze, Xiao Ping took Jessica's slender waist to the bar and poured her a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Jessica took the cup and took a sip, then asked Xiao Ping with a smile, "Can you take your hand away now?"

"Hey...... I didn't pay attention, I forgot!" Xiao Ping also smiled at the female reporter: "Seriously, it feels great!"

Jessica glanced at Xiao Ping charmingly and said, "There are places that feel better, do you want to try it too?"

The American chick is really open enough to dare to say such a thing. However, when she said this, Xiao Ping was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "In the future, I will have the opportunity to try again in the future!"

Lorenzo over there watched the two laugh and talk intimately, and he was also angry. Secretly determined that the truffles provided by Xiao Ping would be denied worthless. So that he can no longer stay in this circle.

The auction began quickly. When Pierre and a few men pushed out the food truck with buckets of truffles, it immediately caused a small commotion. Everyone knows that Xiao Ping's truffles are of high quality, but they didn't expect the quantity to be so amazing.

Ma Jie and Ramsey also came to participate in the auction, and the two stood beside Xiao Ping, and Ramsey also said to him in surprise when he saw this: "Xiao, there are a lot of truffles this time, it seems that you are fully prepared." ”

"What a good quantity!" Ma Jie said, "Just take this opportunity to buy more goods." ”

Xiao Ping smiled quietly: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't participate in the auction. I've left you some truffles in the back kitchen and I'll take them to you when the auction is over. ”

"It's still Boss Xiao who is a friend enough. Ma Jie smiled happily: "But the auction still has to participate, high-quality truffles are too rare." I can't let go of such a good opportunity. ”

While the three of them whispered here, Lorenzo looked at the truffle bucket with jealousy. If these barrels were full of truffles, there would be a lot of them. Even by the standards of the De Niro family. So many truffles are also close to their monthly yield. If only the quality of these truffles was as good as the legend suggests...... Lorenzo didn't dare to think about it anymore, he was almost sure that this Chinese named Xiao Ping would pose a major threat to the family's truffle trade.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this truffle auction has officially begun. Pierre announced loudly: "The truffle varieties in this auction are divided into white truffles and black truffles, and according to the size of the individual truffles, they are divided into three levels. Below 200 grams is a grade, 200 to 350 grams is a grade, and more than 350 grams is another grade. ”

Pierre's words surprised everyone even more, weight is indeed an important factor in measuring the quality of truffles, and this division is also an international standard. However, truffles of more than 350 grams are rare. You can't often see it even at big auctions. And judging from the meaning of Pierre's words, it seems that there are many truffles weighing more than 350 grams. This made everyone who participated in the auction feel that it was not in vain, and they were ready to make a move.

The excited expressions of the people around him made Lorenzo even more unable to sit still, and he rushed to speak without waiting for Pierre to continue: "Before the auction, at least let us see the truffles, right?"

"I was about to say that!" said Pierre, smiling, "it seems that Mr. De Niro is a little impatient." All right. Please check the quality of the truffles, and then we will officially start the auction!"

Although Lorenzo was laughed at by Pierre, he didn't care too much at this time, and the first one ran forward, and couldn't wait to open one of the large barrels and take out a white truffle from it.

Just got the truffle in your hand. Lorenzo's heart couldn't help but "chuckle". As an expert in truffles, his hands are very sensitive to weight, and he doesn't need to weigh them at all, and this white truffle does weigh more than 350 grams. And the truffle is tight and presses the hand, but judging from the feel, the quality will not be too bad.

Lorenzo, of course, was not willing to admit defeat, and took the truffle in front of him to examine it carefully, while inhaling deeply and sniffing the characteristic smell of truffles. Lorenzo's intention, of course, was to find fault with the truffle, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. The quality of this truffle is simply excellent, especially the heavy feel and particularly strong aroma, which shows that this is definitely a top-notch truffle. Even in Lorenzo's memory, he had never seen such a good truffle himself.

What shocked Lorenzo even more was that the truffle was just something he took from the bucket, and if all the truffles were of such good quality, it would be a miracle in the truffle trade.

"It must have been bought from somewhere else. Lorenzo still did not believe that China could produce such a high-grade white truffle, so he hurriedly carefully observed the small characteristics of the truffle, and at the same time carefully sniffed the truffle.

Because of the difference in soil quality and environment, the truffles produced in different places will also be very small. Professionals can use these differences to determine the specific origin of the truffle, and some particularly capable people can even know how long the truffle has been harvested. Lorenzo wanted to judge where the truffles came from from these two points, so as to debunk Xiao Ping's eye-catching performances.

However, the more Lorenzo looked closely at the truffle, the more surprised and confused his expression became, and finally he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is not true!"

Pierre looked at the Italian with a little displeasure and asked, "What do you mean, Mr. De Niro?"

"These truffles don't take more than 24 hours to leave the soil!" Lorenzo said, holding the truffle in his hand, dancing like crazy: "No one can transport it from the forests of Italy to this place in such a short time, not even the De Niro family!"

Lorenzo was right. It will take a long time for the truffles to be found in the forest and delivered to the big dealers, let alone here. In fact, even Lorenzo himself rarely sees such fresh truffles, so it's no wonder he speaks so confidently.

Lorenzo's words, however, did not resonate with the others, and everyone looked at him like idiots, and the restaurant fell into an awkward silence. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
