1038.All-purpose honey (4/5)
When he returned to the castle, Wang Bo opened the sand table and looked at it for a while, and then found that the heart of the territory was not as strong as he thought, and could not help him obtain truffles. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The heart of the woodland covers the entire mountain forest, and its existence allows Lao Wang to control what is above the surface of the mountain, but what is below the surface cannot be seen, but truffles live underground.
But if he wants to dig truffles, then he should be able to gain something by training the strong men and queens, after all, these little guys have a very sensitive sense of smell.
Putting away the sand table, he used his mobile phone to check the truffle trading on the Internet, and if necessary, he wanted to try artificially cultivated truffles.
In 2010, Chinese gambling king Stanley Ho bid for $330,000 for $330,000 to buy two Italian Toslana white truffles and Morisse white truffles weighing a total of 1.3 kilograms.
In the same year, Michelin teamed up with the world's largest circulation gastronomic magazine "Restaurant" to hold an international charity auction dinner for Italian white truffles at the Hilton Hotel for the sixth consecutive year, during which British star David Beckham auctioned a 1.25-kilogram white truffle for $500,000.
In recent years, due to climatic and ecological reasons, the production of large truffles has become less and less, but the food industry in many countries has paid more and more attention to truffles.
For example, the dish of black truffle and wild mushroom soup made it into the menu of state dinners in the United States, and the truffle sauce dish made it to the state dinner in the United Kingdom, and countries such as France, Italy, Norway and Switzerland have made truffles the star dish of state dinners even earlier.
Judging from the news, Wang Bo found that most of the high-value truffles are found in the northern hemisphere, which is mainly related to the variety of truffles, and the southern hemisphere such as Australia and New Zealand rarely appear white truffles, and generally produce black truffles.
Black truffles are much less valuable than white truffles, and last year Australia discovered the world's largest truffle, a black truffle weighing 1.5 kilograms and worth only about $30,000.
In this way, even black truffles are very expensive, a kilogram is 20,000 US dollars, and no matter how good the meat is, it is impossible to sell the beef and mutton in Wang Bo's ranch at such a price.
When Lancaster returned to the castle with the black truffles, he hand-made a grinder to grind the black truffles into truffle powder and truffle crumbs to better preserve the truffles.
These truffles are not big, but unlike all mushrooms, they are not soft plants, but have a stiff texture, like stones.
Therefore, there are not many truffles dug from under a tree, only two bags, but when weighed, there are two kilograms.
Lancaster divided the truffle into two parts, one for himself and one for Wang Bo.
Wang Bo gladly accepted that the truffles were all found in his territory, and according to the law, he could even ask Lancaster to keep them all.
But he wouldn't be so stupid as to do this, not to say that this truffle was found by someone, just to say that the princess and his wife put in the preparation work for the construction of Sunset Town Middle School, even if he gave someone a hundred kilograms of truffles, it was nothing.
Lancaster and Eugenie were going to continue playing in Sunset Town, and Wang Bo asked Kobe Bryant to cook with black truffles, which he didn't understand at all.
The black truffle has a little dried fruit aroma, and the taste is more complicated, Wang Bo can't eat it very well, but everyone else eats it deliciously.
In the eyes of white people, truffles are not only delicious, but also particularly nutritious.
Scientific research data show that black truffle is rich in protein, 18 kinds of amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, zinc, manganese, iron, calcium, phosphorus, selenium and other essential trace elements, as well as sphingolipids, cerebroside, ceramide, triterpenes, male ketones, adenosine, truffle acid, sterols, truffle polysaccharides, truffle polypeptides and other large amounts of metabolites, with high nutritional and health value.
Among them, 18 kinds of amino acids include 8 kinds of essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body. Sphingolipids have significant activity in preventing Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, and anti-tumor cytotoxicity; Polysaccharides, polypeptides, and triterpenoids have the effects of enhancing immunity, anti-aging, and anti-fatigue, and can be used for health care.
Especially in terms of boosting immunity, truffles do have a good effect, and the favorite afternoon tea of the old aristocrats and new rich people in Britain and France is truffle honey with coarse grain biscuits.
Sunset produces some of the best honey in New Zealand, and Lancaster and Eugenie have been so sure to buy some to take home after tasting the delicious taste of rainbow honey.
Wang Bo was very generous in this regard, and said: "There are quite a few in my storage room, how much do you need?" Is fifty pounds enough for you? ”
Rainbow honey has entered the Middle East tyrant market, but Wang Bo's supply is relatively low, and he still understands the truth that scarcity is expensive.
In fact, there is a lot of honey produced by the hive now, and the road to the birth of flowers is fifty miles away, and the existence of the hive heart has allowed the bee colony to continue to expand, and the queen bee Tatak White Nimarama is not even busy alone, so he has found a few nephews and nephews from his hometown in Fiji to help.
Now in summer and autumn, more than 20 kilograms of honey can be produced a day, and the large hive built by the bee colony has become the new tourist attraction of Sunset Town, like a small castle, and the hive is so large that Bowen said he wants to apply for a Guinness World Record.
Listening to Wang Bo's words, Princess Eugenie and Lancaster both smiled, and the latter said: "That's great, we're going to pack it up and send it back, of course, this needs to be checked, as long as they pass the quarantine inspection, I can send them to Buckingham Palace." ”
Honey can be given back, there are not many truffles, so there is no need to do so, and New Zealand's black truffles are not very precious.
However, they should still be very good when combined with honey to make truffle honey.
Beeswax is needed to make truffle honey, and this Wang Bo can't be generous, this thing is something for bees to build a nest spleen, a ovary cap and a feed room cap.
It is important to know that the spleen of the nest is a place for bees to store food, nurture bees and roost in clumps, so beeswax is not only a product of the colony, but also a material necessary for its survival and reproduction, and this thing cannot be taken out in large quantities.
Making truffle honey is a technical job, and it is made by blending honey and truffle oil, but if you use too much truffle oil, then truffle honey will be more greasy, and if you use less, it will be too sweet.
So, add a fine salt and some spice sauce to balance the taste. (To be continued.) )
