This time it was Xiao Ping's turn to be surprised, glared at the Frenchman and asked loudly, "What is this for?"

"My friend, these white truffles are of such good quality!" said to Xiao Ping sincerely: "Such good truffles should be auctioned, only in this way can they reflect their true value." I could, of course, buy it from you for two or three thousand dollars per kilogram, but it would be dishonest to do so. We're friends, I can't lie to you, you know what I mean?"

Unexpectedly, the French were still honest people, and Xiao Ping couldn't help but be a little moved while being surprised. For the first time, he took the initiative to pat Pierre on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "Old Pi, you are a good person!"

"I don't have a surname like Pi. The Frenchman weakly explained: "My surname is Pierre!"

Xiao Ping waved his hand indifferently and said, "Don't dwell on such a trivial matter, let's talk about the truffle auction!"

Pierre complained: "My surname is not a trivial matter......"

Xiao Ping completely ignored the protests of the French, and continued to himself: "I'm really not familiar with this business, can you be in charge of the auction house?" The black truffles will leave 20 kilograms, and the white truffles will leave 10 kilograms, which will be given to you for free, and the rest will be auctioned off, what do you think?"

Pierre was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt that he was overwhelmed by a huge sense of happiness, and involuntarily looked at Xiao Ping and asked, "Are you serious?

"Do you think I'm joking?" Xiao Ping frowned and said: "It's really right to say that you haven't seen the world, you are excited about such a trivial matter, just tell me if you want to!"

"Of course I do!" Pierre nodded without hesitation, and then muttered, "But you will lose a lot of ...... by giving me truffles for free."

Xiao Ping interrupted the Frenchman and said: "Old Pi, I, Xiao Ping, will not treat my true friends badly, compared to our friendship, my loss is nothing at all!"

Xiao Ping is indeed such a person, when others respect him, he respects others. Xiao Ping used to be harassed and despised everywhere when he lived alone, so he especially cherished his true friends. Although the French love to hug people at every turn, the strong perfume on his body is enough to smoke mosquitoes within a radius of 20 meters. But when Pierre suggested that Chaupin should auction off the truffles, he regarded the Frenchman as a true friend. Since Pierre's suggestion can make Xiao Ping earn a lot more, he should naturally repay the favor.

"Friend!" Pierre was also moved by Xiao Ping's words, and nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, we are real friends!"

The French are also straightforward, since he regards Xiao Ping as a good friend, he didn't say much politely, and directly calculated the truffle auction. Pierre is also a well-known chef in France, and his knowledge of these things is indeed much deeper than Xiao Ping's. He thought for a while, and then immediately said to Xiao Ping: "Although the quality of these truffles is very high, you don't have a reputation in this industry, and it is unrealistic to want to hold a large-scale auction immediately. I can invite the chef of a western restaurant in a nearby city to hold a small-scale auction, and let everyone know how good our truffles are, and then things will be easier when the influence expands, what do you think?"

Pierre's plan was exactly what Xiao Ping wanted, and he immediately nodded: "This is the best, use the quality of our truffles to conquer customers, and we should be honest in doing business." ”

Seeing that Xiao Ping agreed to his suggestion, the Frenchman said happily: "But you have to give me some time to prepare for the auction, anyway, the truffles can be stored for a long time, and there is no need to rush to sell them." ”

"Okay. Xiao Ping didn't have any opinion on this, and said to Pierre with a smile: "When the time comes, our truffles will surprise everyone." ”

The French agreed with Xiao Ping's statement, and he himself was surprised when he saw so many truffles. The two talked about some details of the auction, and Pierre was anxious to contact the auction, so Xiao Ping took the opportunity to leave. …,

Xiao Ping wanted to leave the truffles in the Frenchman's restaurant, but Pierre resolutely refused. He said that although the two were friends, it was better for Xiao Ping to keep such a valuable thing by himself. In order to convince Xiao Ping, the French also said the old saying "Brothers, settle accounts".

Now that Pierre has said this, Xiao Ping can't insist on his own opinion. Only the truffles that had been promised to be given to Pierre were kept, and the rest was brought back in buckets.

"Xiao, do you know how to preserve truffles?" Seeing Xiao Ping casually walking out with two buckets, Pierre couldn't help but ask more.

Pierre's worries proved to be justified, Xiao Ping scratched his head and said, "How to store it? Put it in the refrigerator, put it in the freezer, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the freezer?"

"God, I'm glad I asked. Pierre touched his head and said, "The truffles should be wrapped in tin foil and put in the refrigerator." However, the best way to preserve them is to bury the truffles in the soil in which they grow, and control the temperature and humidity at the level when they grow, which is the longest to preserve, but it is a bit troublesome. ”

For Xiao Ping, this method is not troublesome at all, as long as he puts the truffle back into the demon refining pot, so he immediately responded: "Oh, I know the way." Don't worry, I'll keep the truffles safe. ”

After saying this, Xiao Ping left the restaurant with two large buckets. Looking at his casual appearance, Pierre suddenly regretted his decision just now, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "I should have promised to leave the truffles just now, in case the quality of these truffles deteriorates due to storage, it would be a pity." ”

In fact, Xiao Ping's casual attitude comes from strong self-confidence, which does not mean that he does not value these truffles. After leaving Raffles Western Restaurant, Xiao Ping found a hotel to stay in and buried the remaining truffles under the oak tree along with the bucket. According to Pierre, this method keeps the truffles fresh for months, especially for half a month.

Now that he has come to the provincial capital, Xiao Ping didn't want to rush back, but planned to stay here for two days. It's the Spring Festival, and there's nothing big going on in the farm, so it's time to relax.

The next day, Xiao Ping went to the most lively business district in the provincial capital, planning to buy himself a few sets. Xiao Ping didn't pay attention to these things when he was poor before, but now that he has made some money, he naturally doesn't want to treat himself too badly. Xiao Ping walked around Armani's specialty store, picked out two suits for himself from the inside out, and even bought new shoes and socks and watch belts.

After taking the spiritual liquid for a period of time, Xiao Ping's whole person had obvious changes. His figure has become long and straight, and his muscles are well-proportioned, which is simply a standard clothes rack. When Xiao Ping came out of the fitting room in a brand-name suit, the shopping guide lady's eyes couldn't help but light up, and her attitude towards him became more attentive.

And when Xiao Ping asked the shopping guide to wrap up all the clothes he chose, and he casually pulled a card to pay for hundreds of thousands of things, the shopping guide's watery eyes immediately became hot. Young and golden, handsome and chic, and most importantly, he doesn't seem to have a girlfriend yet, such Xiao Ping is simply the perfect boyfriend candidate, no wonder the well-informed tour guide is a little unbearable.

Xiao Ping was a little uncomfortable by the eyes of several shopping guides who wanted to eat people, and after paying the money, he fled and left the store. He had just returned to the hotel when he received a call from Wen Ziping very unexpectedly.
