Chapter 297: It's Time to Sell Truffles
(Thanks to the story of the book friend's cooking class, and the encouragement of the black sister-in-law)
Because she took a nap in the car for a while, Fangfang was in good spirits after returning to the hotel. () Telling his parents interesting stories on the court, the fat man saw that his eyes were hot, and he joined in.
But at the end, I slapped my thigh, and I patronized the game today, and I forgot to ask for autographs from the stars. He thought about leaving a day late, and then discussing with Kroenke and getting the signatures of the whole team.
However, he was ruthlessly rejected by Liu Yunxuan, Liu Yunxuan didn't have much spare time to continue waiting for him here, and there were still a lot of things waiting for him to go back and deal with.
I have to move and take wedding photos when I go back, which has been delayed for a few days because of the fat man watching the ball.
The fat man has a grudge, but he also wants to open it, anyway, he can come over often in the future, as long as he doesn't forget it next time.
It's the end of February, and it's time to pick the truffles, and Walker has already scheduled the auction. By the time Liu Yunxuan and the others took the plane back to Michelle Ranch, Walker was already waiting here.
"Hey, Andy, aren't you worried about those truffles at all? Aren't you afraid of missing out on the best harvest season? After seeing Liu Yunxuan, Walker asked anxiously.
He also worked hard, invited a lot of gourmets and chefs, as long as the quality of the truffles is good, even if the output is small, he is not afraid, and he can also raise the name of Weimei International a little more.
After all, truffles are no better than ordinary ingredients, and they are one of the three top ingredients.
"Walker, you're bothered. Before leaving, I dug up two of them, and they grew very well and were quite big. Liu Yunxuan reassured Walker.
These truffles are very good and well-proportioned. With the effect of these spatial waters, even if you miss the picking period three or five days late, it's fine.
In fact, Liu Yunxuan is also looking forward to this picking, he owes people money, all counting on these truffles to make a lot of money, he can't remember how many truffles he has planted now, but it won't be less.
In recent years, people have paid attention to delicious food at the same time. More attention to health, the price of truffles is also rising. The main thing is that its growing conditions are too harsh,
The growth of this thing is completely dependent on God, and there is no way to artificially control it.
With the drastic change of climatic conditions, the yield of truffles is decreasing every year, and it is Walker who pays so much attention to the truffle production of Michelle Ranch, and the quality of the truffles produced here is still very good.
After listening to Liu Yunxuan's story, Walker's heart also had a little bottom. Although Liu Yunxuan always said that he was not very clear about the specific situation of truffles, he would not believe it now.
Walker also pondered the whole process of contact with Liu Yunxuan during this time. It seems that he has always been led by Liu Yunxuan's nose. From beef cattle to truffles to mutton, it seems that he has been guided since the beginning of beef cattle, but he doesn't mind.
These things are very high-end ingredients, not to mention that they are hard to find, he really hopes that this kind of thing can be born more, so that he can count the money until his hands cramp, and he doesn't have to run around the world so hard. We have to compete with other companies.
For any high-end food distributor, they are only afraid that the supply is too small. Not too much. As long as there are top-quality ingredients, they are desperately purchased, because this thing will never be enough to sell.
When the group came to the house, Xiao Fangfang happily shared the chocolates brought back from England to everyone.
"Walker, how's the truffle market this year?" Liu Yunxuan asked with concern, this was the question he was most concerned about. A good product has to have a good price.
"The truffle market is a bit chaotic right now. However, due to the decrease in production, the overall momentum is still rising, so please don't mind what I said below. Walker looked at Liu Yunxuan for a moment before continuing.
"The current wholesale price of winter truffles is 1,200 dollars per kilogram, if the quality of truffles is better. The bigger it is, the price will be much higher, and the white truffle can sell for as little as $4,000. ”
"In your home country, there are also truffles in China, which taste very good, but the price is very cheap. This has made many people see business opportunities. ”
"But when everyone realizes the huge profits involved, it causes a lot of unreasonable picking. Some truffles are supposed to be harvested in the winter, but they are dug up in the summer, and not only are they less fragrant, but they are also very cheap. ”
"There are also some unscrupulous businessmen who, in order to obtain huge profits, mix such truffles with bad truffles of poor quality, so that many restaurants are fooled."
Liu Yunxuan also knows some of what Walker said, and he searched for truffles on the Internet when he first appeared, but he didn't expect that this thing is really not a rare thing in our Huaxia.
In the past, the production areas in China were twenty or thirty yuan a kilogram, but in recent years, the price of truffles has skyrocketed, and mature truffles can be sold for more than 600 yuan a kilogram, even those truffles that are on the market in advance can be sold for prices ranging from 200 yuan to 400 yuan.
The interests are moving, and the local people have dug them out regardless of whether they are mature or not, which has caused the current embarrassing situation.
Obviously, the taste is similar to that of black truffles produced in France, but the price is very different, just because there are some "premature" truffles in it, so that foreign truffles produced in China are not very high.
In some places, they are on the verge of extinction because of the over-harvesting of truffles, and I really don't know if they will regret it in the future.
This is related to the whole environment, Liu Yunxuan doesn't have time to worry about this matter, even if he wants to, he can't manage it, at present, he can sell his truffles well, sell more money, and pay back the loan as soon as possible.
"By the way, Andy, I don't know if you paid attention to the newspaper, but in January, a black truffle weighing 1.3 kilograms was dug up in the Périgord truffle production area in France, which is the largest truffle dug up in the area."
Walker remembered this and mentioned it to Liu Yunxuan.
The last time he came, he saw that the truffle that Liu Yunxuan was holding was not light, but he was too excited at the time and didn't weigh it, and now he regrets it a little when he thinks about it.
Maybe the truffle weighs about the same as this one, but if it does, it would be a pity that everyone will eat it casually.
Hearing Walker say this, Liu Yunxuan was stunned, such a big is the largest in the local area? You must know that your truffles have the bonus of space water, but they are about the same amount as this.
Maybe if you put it in the space for a few more days, you can finally run away and become the first in the world.
Originally, Liu Yunxuan planned to cultivate it slowly in the future, but at that time, he wanted to make a king of black truffles and increase the reputation of black truffles in his ranch, who let his ranch have no white truffles.
I heard from Walker just now that the initial price of that thing is a lot higher than that of black truffles, and if you have the opportunity in the future, you will have to find a way to make a piece of it and try it.
"In this way, tomorrow we will also contact a few media to come to the scene to pick, and also build momentum for our future auctions." Liu Yunxuan thought for a while and said.
If you also make a big black pine exposed, and it is so hyped by the news, you won't have to worry about selling it at the auction when the time comes.
But he really doesn't want to deal with these media, if he is entangled by them, he will have to answer their questions endlessly, and it seems that he can't show up when he picks.
Walker also nodded excitedly after hearing this, in fact, he had long wanted to build it like this. It's just because Liu Yunxuan is usually relatively low-key and doesn't like to be exposed on the news very much, so he didn't bring it up.
Last time, if it wasn't for the purpose of prosecuting those news media, Liu Yunxuan would not have held a press conference. Now Liu Yunxuan's relationship with these media is very delicate.
This time, Liu Yunxuan's mention is right in his mind, and with the participation of these news media, they can follow up and report the whole process.
This will definitely be the latest hot topic, the new truffle origin will be officially announced, and with the high-quality truffles, Walker can't help but look forward to the auction. (To be continued......)
