Chapter 78: A Harvest of Truffles
The atmosphere of the New Year in the countryside is much stronger than in the city, and the sound of firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve almost never stops, and in the morning you can still hear people setting off firecrackers from time to time. Xiao Ping originally planned to sleep in, but in this case, he naturally couldn't sleep, so he had to get up early.
After breakfast, Xiao Ping took the panther and ingots around the farm as usual, and when he came to the chicken farm, he found that there was someone who came earlier than him - Zhao Quan was already busy here.
Xiao Ping said in surprise: "Lao Zhao, why are you here so early? Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so you don't have to fight so hard." ”
The good treatment of the farm and the trust of the boss made Zhao Quan full of energy, and he smiled at Xiao Ping a little embarrassedly: "Anyway, I only went to visit relatives in the afternoon, and I came over to see if I had nothing to do in the morning, I was a little worried about those chickens." ”
The first chicks on the chicken farm were hatched only a few days before the Chinese New Year and are now in their most vulnerable stage. Although there is heating equipment and sufficient feed and water in the special brooding room, there is no need to worry about the chickens being hungry and freezing, but Zhao Quan, who is serious about things, will still feel at ease if he does not come to see it every day.
In fact, Xiao Ping has quietly fed the chickens the spiritual liquid twice, so he doesn't have to worry about what will happen to these chicks. But of course he wouldn't say this to Zhao Quan, but just smiled and encouraged the responsible subordinate: "I'm relieved that the chicken farm is in charge of you, let's work hard in the coming year, and the year-end bonus next time will definitely be multiplied several times!"
Zhao Quan is an honest man, and after listening to Xiao Ping's words, he didn't know what to say, he just smiled blindly, but the movements in his hands were a little faster than before. Xiao Ping also helped by the side, and soon finished the work of the chicken farm. After all, it was the New Year, and Zhao Quan didn't have the heart to stay in the farm for a long time, so he quickly quit and left, so Xiao Ping was left alone in the huge farm.
Xiao Ping estimated that no one would come to the farm today, so he returned to the villa and carefully closed the door, and brought two boiled hooves to the demon training pot.
The panther and the ingots were playing in the open space, and when they saw Xiao Ping, they immediately ran over and wagged their tails around him, not to mention how close they were to him. It has been almost two months since the panther and ingots came to the farm, and the original little one has grown a circle bigger than the German blackback. However, they haven't grown up in the last two weeks, so they should be completely finalized.
At the same time, the food consumption of the panther and ingots also became smaller, and only two meals a day, one hoof per meal was enough. Xiao Ping threw the hooves in his hand to the black panther and the ingots, respectively, and while they were feasting, Xiao Ping roamed freely in this small territory.
Everything is normal inside the Demon Refining Pot. The dendrobium is about to be harvested, and Xiao Ping is ready to wait for the New Year to let Wang Cannon help concoct a batch of iron maple buckets. The saury fry had grown to almost two inches long, and after the pond had been disinfected in the next year, they were moved outside to be raised. In short, everything in the demon refining pot made Xiao Ping very satisfied, he sat under the big oak tree and looked at everything in front of him, only feeling happy and peaceful in his heart, and all his troubles were left behind.
The panther and ingots ran up their hooves and ran to Xiao Ping's side to play with him. Xiao Ping lazily patted the dog's head, occasionally throwing the toy bones out for them to pick up, enjoying this rare leisure time.
However, when Xiao Ping threw the toy bones out of the box again, the panther was not as anxious as the ingots to pick them up. It only trotted a few steps, then looked down at the ground in front of it, seemingly confused.
The black panther's abnormality quickly attracted Xiao Ping's attention, and he hurriedly ran to the dog's side and whispered encouragement: "Black Panther, is there something down there?" Find it out, find it out!"
The panther seemed to understand Xiao Ping's words, and called him "Wang" twice, and then began to dig the soil with his front legs. The black panther who had grown up in the demon refining pot for most of the time was very strong, and it didn't take long to dig a pit more than ten centimeters deep. Seeing this, Xiao Ping didn't dare to let the panther dig again, so he hurriedly pulled it to the side and carefully dug up the soil with his own hands. …,
Xiao Ping dug through a thin layer of soil and found that there was something underneath. He hurriedly and carefully brushed away the floating soil next to him, and a fist-sized black lumpy object gradually appeared in front of him, which was a black truffle of excellent quality!
"Aha, I guessed it right!" Xiao Ping was very happy to see this, and carefully looked at the black truffle and muttered: "This piece is estimated to be three or two...... I wonder how much it will be worth?"
The black panther and the ingots were affected by the aura in the demon refining pot, and they themselves became full of spirituality. Seeing that the owner seemed to like this thing dug out of the ground, before Xiao Ping could give an order, they began to look for it around the big oak tree.
Both greyhounds had a great sense of smell, and soon more truffles were found around the oak tree. All of a sudden, the oak tree was filled with the cries of black panthers and ingots, reminding Xiao Ping that they had found something good again. The two dogs were so fast looking for truffles that Xiao Ping didn't have time to dig them. He could only mark the truffles by sticking small twigs where he found them, and then went out to find a small shovel and two baskets, and began to carefully dig up the expensive food.
Xiao Ping dug for a long time, and finally dug out two baskets full of truffles. In fact, he had deliberately left some truffles for breeding, otherwise he would have been able to dig up at least one more basket.
But even so, Xiao Ping's harvest is enough to surprise the insider. It is important to know that truffles are very rare in the wild environment. Even in France and Italy, where truffles are produced the most, an experienced truffle seeker with a trained hound can only find a few hundred grams of truffles a day, which is why truffles are so expensive. But Xiao Ping found two large baskets of truffles under an oak tree, afraid that they would not weigh more than 100 kilograms. If such a rich harvest spreads, it will definitely cause a huge sensation in the truffle world.
However, what happened in the demon refining pot would not be known to others, and Xiao Ping was naturally happy to make a fortune. He left the Demon Refining Cauldron with the truffles, and then began to carefully sort them out, placing the black truffles separately from the white truffles. White truffles cost at least four times as much as black truffles, so you can't mix these precious ingredients and sell them together.
Xiao Ping quickly sorted the truffles and weighed them separately, this time he harvested a total of 63 kilograms of black truffles and 58 kilograms of white truffles, which is almost equivalent to the harvest of a mountain in the wild for an entire year.
"Get rich!" Looking at these guys who were similar to potatoes in the basket, Xiao Ping couldn't help but be a little overjoyed. He only roughly calculated that these truffles were worth at least more than 800,000 yuan, which was a lot of income.
However, Xiao Ping has little experience in how to preserve truffles, so he wants to sell all the goods in his hand as soon as possible. Of all the people Xiao Ping knew, only Pierre had experience in this area. Although today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Ping thinks that the French should not be the Spring Festival, so he immediately called Pierre.
