Chapter 175: Digging truffles
In the next few days, Li Yuan was also so busy that his feet did not touch the ground. He began to negotiate with customers about the price and availability of Xiantao brand black chai chicken and chai eggs.
In fact, there is nothing to talk about in terms of price, it is completely Li Yuan who has the final say. The price he gave to the black chai chicken was 500 yuan per chicken, which was the same price regardless of size. This is because Li Yuan found that after drinking the water that dissolves the gold beads, the growth rate of the chicks is very close, and the weight difference of each chicken is more than half a tael.
As for the price of chai eggs, they are set at $6 each. Now the eggs outside are sold by the only one, and customers will naturally have no objections.
Although the price of both black chai chicken and chai eggs is more than double that of free-range chickens and native eggs on the market. But because Li Yuan has already spoken with facts, let the chefs understand the quality of this ingredient. So although the price he offered was high, all the customers agreed to it.
The focus of Li Yuan's negotiations with customers is actually focused on supply. Like Xiantao brand vegetables, every customer wants to fight for a little more purchase quantity. Because they all know in their hearts, such high-quality ingredients will definitely be in short supply. No matter how much Li Yuan provides, it will be easily sold, and it can also drive the number of customers in the store, so this must be fought for.
However, Li Yuan still follows the principle of selling vegetables and strictly implements the strategy of hunger marketing. It is better to supply less to each customer and develop as many customers as possible.
Although many customers are well aware of this, they are helpless. Because Xiantao brand ingredients are now an absolute seller's market, there is no other semicolon for this one, and Li Yuan can only be allowed to "cover the sky with one hand".
After several days of arduous negotiations, Li Yuan finally finalized the supply of black chai chicken and chai eggs with most of the customers. While all the customers feel that this amount of supply is a drop in the bucket, they are somewhat comforting - not every restaurant can buy these two ingredients!
Li Yuan deliberately placed Pierre at the end of the negotiation list, and before going to meet with the French, he deliberately brought four dogs to enter the peach pit space.
Nowadays, red beans and mung beans have also grown to the size of adult dogs. Like the soybean and black bean, the two new dogs are also full of spirituality, and they are all very strong.
Just as Li Yuan hoped. The four dogs are almost entirely responsible for the security of the farm, which has not had a vegetable theft or a missing chicken for a long time. However, Li Yuan also plans to find a new job for his dogs, which is to ask them to help find truffles.
After sniffing a small piece of truffle deliberately left by Li Yuan, he heard the master's command to "go and find it". The four greyhounds immediately got to work. They quickly disperse, sniffing around the ground under the oak trees in search of truffles growing in the ground.
Compared with ordinary working dogs, soybeans have a better sense of smell, more stamina, and are much more intelligent. So the job of finding truffles for them. Not terribly difficult.
It was only half a minute, and the soybeans made the first discovery. It screamed excitedly and began to gouge the ground with its front paws. In just a few moments, the soybean dug out a pit a few centimeters deep, and then shouted at the owner. 、
When the soybeans began to dig the pit, Li Yuan rushed to the side of the dog. At this point he began to take over the matter, carefully digging through a thin layer of soil, and immediately saw a truffle, about the size of a potato, lying quietly in the dirt.
"Aha, it worked!" See this truffle. Li Yuan couldn't help but let out a cheer.
Speaking from his heart, before he found this truffle, he was really not sure if his plan to cultivate truffles would succeed. After all, there has never been a precedent for the success of artificially cultivated truffles, which is why the price of truffles remains high. Although the peach pit space is very magical, Li Yuan is not very sure. And after seeing this truffle, Li Yuan also knew that he had succeeded, and he had another way to make money.
Li Yuan carefully dug out the truffle and found that it was about the size of half a fist of his own. By truffle standards, that's pretty big. Although Li Yuan can't tell the quality of truffles. But presumably the quality will not be bad.
"Good dog, awesome!" Li Yuan carefully put the truffles into the specially prepared bucket, and then patted the soybean on the head and praised it loudly.
For a loyal dog, the best reward is the owner's praise. So the soybeans also wag their tails happily. In this way, I express the joy of this time.
Li Yuan was very satisfied with the dog's appearance, took out a piece of beef jerky to reward soybeans, and then patted the dog's head and said, "Go, look for it again!" ”
For Soybean, the master's command is an order, so he wags his tail and goes back to work. It is precisely because of the soybeans that they have made a good start. Soon the black beans were also harvested.
Because the peach pit space is full of aura, truffles grow quickly. The speed at which the four greyhounds searched for truffles far exceeded the speed at which Li Yuan dug truffles. It didn't take long for the ground of the oak forest to be full of small soil pits dug out by soybeans, and each pit represented another truffle that Li Yuan had harvested.
Li Yuan is very happy with the enthusiasm of the dogs, after all, these inconspicuous truffles represent a lot of income.
Of course, for soybeans, truffle hunting is more of a game than work. After all, for canines, finding something hidden is no different from playing. What's more, there is also the owner with him, and he can be rewarded and praised after finding the truffle, and the enthusiasm of the soybeans to find the truffle is also very high.
In the end, Li Yuan had to stop the dogs and stop them from continuing this "game". There are already a lot of truffles harvested at the moment, and any more will destroy Li Yuan's hunger marketing strategy. What's more, he doesn't plan to fish all the time, and he also plans to leave some truffles for seeding, so that he can continue to cultivate this truffle fungus in the peach pit space.
Even if Li Yuan stopped looking for truffles halfway, he had already gained a lot today. He sorted and weighed the truffles he found, and the final result was more than six kilograms of black truffles and nearly four kilograms of white truffles.
It is a miracle that so many truffles can be harvested in just over half an hour, and it will definitely cause a sensation when you say it. However, this happened in the peach pit space, and Li Yuan would not feel strange at all.
Early the next morning, Li Yuan took these freshly harvested truffles to the Red House Western Restaurant in the city and met with Pierre. (To be continued.) )
