Qiu Bai checked the truffle in his hand, Xu Bo came over, picked up the truffle and looked at it, and exclaimed: "Such a big truffle is too rare, at least more than half a catty, and the quality looks good, if it is sold at an international auction house, it is estimated that it will sell for tens of thousands of dollars." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Tens of thousands of dollars?" Qiu Bai muttered again.

"Well, it must be tens of thousands of dollars, and it is very sought-after, now the world produces no more than 20 tons of truffles every year, and the annual demand of diners is at least hundreds of tons, the supply exceeds demand, tens of thousands of dollars is still the price a few years ago, and now it must be higher."

"Can't be artificially cultivated?"

"Definitely, if this thing can be artificially cultivated, it can't be so expensive, it can only grow naturally, pine, oak, birch trees can be found underneath, but the reason why the yield is scarce is because truffles have strict requirements for the environment, temperature, climate and other conditions, it is said that truffles can't grow as long as they are half a degree, you can imagine this harshness."

"Half a degree? That's definitely. ”

"Whether it's or not, but this kind of food is really few, and the truffles are in front of the world's three major delicacies, which proves its status."

"Lin Qiubai, do you like to eat this?" Old Pine asked suddenly.

"Huh? No, I don't like to eat much, my pet loves to eat, it's this sheep. ”

"Oh, there's a lot of them over there, so dig them all out." The old pine tree said very enthusiastically.

The old pine tree can't eat truffles, on the contrary, he hates this kind of thing, and wishes someone would dig it all up, but except for Qiubai, the old pine tree can't communicate with others, and can't communicate with those wild boars, so he can only watch the wild boars arch the pine forest to pieces.

"The pine tree, even if I dig it, it will still grow, and it will not stop digging, this kind of thing is called truffle, it grows under the roots of your tree, and as long as you are alive, it can grow all the time."

Qiubai explained to the old pine tree.

"Oh, I see, I see." The old pine tree was suddenly a little worried.

The old pine tree lived for more than 2,000 years, and began to use pine oil to change the soil underground after opening the mind, it is a tree with a lot of ideas, and I want the pine tree to carry forward here, it has been doing this for almost 1,500 years, such a long time If there is no wild boar to disturb, the pine forest is definitely dozens or hundreds of times larger than now, but now, only more than 100 pine trees have survived, and other pine trees have been arched to death by wild boars, and these pine trees that have been arched to death are all the children and grandchildren of the old pine trees.

As soon as Qiubai wanted to speak, he heard a squeaky cry, followed the sound and looked over, only to see several squirrels jumping from among the pine trees with their big tails, chasing each other, and then suddenly stood still, looking straight at Qiubai and them, and the squirrels found Qiubai.

These squirrels are similar to the one hundred and fifty squirrels raised by Qiubai's family, but these are only adult squirrels, and after seeing Qiubai, they don't scream loudly, but carefully climb to the top of the pine tree, pick ripe fruits on it, hold and gnaw on them with two forelimbs, and look at Qiubai carefully while gnawing, some guys who are very cautious.

Qiu Bai and Xu Bo didn't move, Yang Yong was very happy, he was only a teenager, it was when he was curious about everything, Qiu Bai and Xu Bo couldn't understand what they were talking about, he had already felt bored, seeing these squirrels, Yang Yong was like a chicken blood, and rushed over, picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at the squirrels, scared the squirrels and climbed higher, and then saw that Yang Yong couldn't beat them, so they squeaked at Yang Yong proudly, as if they were laughing at Yang Yong.

Yang Yong's body is quite neat, and he climbed up the tree with a bang, wanting to catch a squirrel, but the squirrel is not a vegetarian, Yang Yong just climbed up, the squirrel went to another tree, and a squirrel also threw a pine cone at Yang Yong, and he was quite bold.

"Yongwazi, come down, you are stupid, how can you catch a squirrel." Xu Bo shouted with tears and laughter.

"Let him play." Qiubai said, children are skinny, they don't care if they can catch it, as long as they have fun.

As soon as Qiu Bai finished speaking, the squeaky sound came again, and when he looked at it again, he was immediately startled, and at least hundreds of squirrels jumped over from there.

"This... So many squirrels? Xu Bo said in surprise.

With the development of the forest now, the number of animals in many forests has decreased dramatically, more than ten years ago, people could see one of the so-called four pests, that is, sparrows flying overwhelmed, but now it is almost impossible to see, squirrels are the same, they have beautiful fur, so they are poached by people, squirrels are even extinct in many places, I can't imagine that I can see so many here at one time.

Nearly a hundred squirrels rushed towards this side, and after a large number, they were obviously not very afraid of people, and where they passed, all the pine cones were picked by them, and they put them to their mouths to gnaw, and the sound of clicking sounded in the pine forest.

"Pine, can you stand it?" Qiu Bai asked involuntarily.

In the past, the tea tree told Qiubai that the fruit trees in the forest are actually the most difficult to survive, because the fruit of the fruit trees is generally the main target of herbivores, and Qiubai has a deep understanding this time, nearly 100 squirrels sweep in the pine forest, not only eating pine cones, but also eating pine bark and pine leaves, just like locusts.

"Get used to it." The old pine tree said helplessly.

Because of their special abilities, the pine trees in the pine forest grow well, and now the leaves are not yellow, as long as they are found by herbivores, it is a burst of plunder, several times a year, wild boars will arch their roots, squirrels and monkeys will eat their fruits, and the pine trees are also very sad.

Qiubai then asked, "Songshu, do you want to move somewhere?" ”

"Where to move? It's the same everywhere you go. ”

"Go to me, I have a yard over there, and there is a lot of land, and there are many trees over there, and there are several kinds of trees that open the mind, and I can guarantee that you will not be disturbed by wild boars or anything there, you just need to grow well."

"Where are you?"

"Well, yes, I'm there, I'm called Repulse Bay, there are large areas above and below the ground, and I've transplanted several smart trees, and they're all living well there, how about it, do you want to go?"

"But we've been living here for a long time." The pine tree has some difficult ways, the so-called homeland is difficult to leave, not only refers to people, but also refers to trees, the same is true of the previous peach trees, they also have their own reluctance.

"With all due respect, Pinetree, don't blame me for being alarmist, I'll analyze your current situation with you." Qiubai said.

"Say it."

"First of all, there are wild boars, and now the number of wild boars is much more than half a year ago, and it is winter, and there is too little food in the wild, and your pine forest is a piece of cake if it doesn't sound good, you know the cake, right? It is to let the wild boar gnaw, now there must be at least thousands of wild boars in Wushan, if every wild boar comes to arch again, the small pine tree has to arch to death, and the big pine tree is estimated to be about the same, you should have experienced this? ”

"Are there so many wild boars? Isn't it just over a thousand? ”

"That's what you see, and what you don't see." Qiu Bai's face did not change and said: "And you also know the reproduction degree of wild boars, by the beginning of spring next year, I am afraid there will be tens of thousands, and you have truffles in the ground, when these wild boars all come to arch, pine trees, it is estimated that you may not be able to survive." ”

"So what to do?" Matsuki's words were a little anxious.

"In addition, these squirrels, they are not like people, and they don't know how to protect you, they know how to eat and eat, eat all day long, eat your pine cone pine leaf bark, they are animals, they can migrate at any time, you can't, you need pine cones to reproduce the next generation, but if the pine cones are gone, the little pine trees are gone, there is a saying in us humans, there is no successor, and they can only die out slowly, really old pine trees, you have to think about your children and grandchildren."

"And with me, I can assure you that I will divide a large piece of land for you that you need, and no one will bother you, you just need to grow up happily."

"Is that so?"

"Of course, I also have a request, but this request will definitely not be excessive, that is, truffles, this is growing on your roots, if there is, I will let people dig it out at that time, but you can rest assured, it will definitely not destroy your root system, that's it, what do you think?"

"Grandpa, come with him."

"Yes, grandpa, go with Lin Qiubai, otherwise we will be killed by wild boars."

"Well, grandpa, the wild boar hurts me so much."

"Grandpa, promise him."

The voices of dozens of pine trees sounded in unison, which made Qiubai's brain hurt for a while, but Qiubai was very happy, what does this mean, this means that it is expected to succeed, it turns out that not only human society has a family concept, but also trees, the old pine tree has lived for so long, maybe it doesn't mind wild boars and squirrels, but it has to think about its offspring, and it can't let its offspring go extinct.

In the past, the tea tree also told Qiubai about its children, its children didn't let a person dig it up and then die, the tea tree remembered that person for thousands of years, and that kind of hatred is estimated to be washed away with the Yangtze River water, which also shows from the side that the tree also attaches more importance to the inheritance of future generations, they may not mind being cut down or burned, but the descendants must stay.

"But, Lin Qiubai, why did you move us to your side, you seem to be far away from here, right?" The old pine tree finally loosened, just like Qiubai thought, it had no way to refuse the request of the descendants, and it was too important for them to find a good environment.

"As long as you agree, I will take care of the transplanting matter, and I will ensure that it will be done beautifully, and I will remove all the pine trees here for you, and I will ensure that there will be no one missing." Qiubai hurriedly said.

"Okay, I agreed, then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble." Qiubai's heart is full of flowers, this kind of thing is not troublesome at all, Qiubai still hopes that the more the better. (To be continued.) )
