Chapter 1053: Can't Sell
(Thanks to my friends for their encouragement and watermelon)
This year is the first year to breed white truffles, and the entire production area is not very large, so many dogs and flowery pigs, before it is time to have lunch, the whole area will be collected.
However, looking at the white truffles in the box, Liu Yunxuan was so happy that he never closed his mouth.
"Fatty, I'll leave this statistical work to you, let's go wash up first, and listen to your good news when we come back." On the way back, Liu Yunxuan said to the fat man.
"Well, please, I'll make sure it will be beautiful for you." The fat man patted his chest and said.
He really likes to do this kind of work, as long as he has time, he will come over and be responsible for sorting and recording the weight of black truffles when they are picked.
Like Liu Yunxuan, these two are all financial fans, this truffle is about the same as US dollars, and the big one is even more of a big stack of US dollars.
Except for Xiao Afu, everyone basically digs the truffles by themselves, and they are also covered with soil. If this is not washed well, the smell of dirt on the body will not be removed.
"Hehe, Xuanzi, guess how much white truffles we dug up this time." When Liu Yunxuan finished washing, the fat man was also waiting for them in the dining room.
"So soon to finish the count?" Liu Yunxuan asked curiously.
"Of course, it's easy." The fat man waved his hand and said lightly.
"Then I won't ask, you can directly tell me about the output this time." After Liu Yunxuan invited everyone to sit down together, he glanced at the fat man and said.
He knows that this is a fat man who wants to show off, hey, let's not ask, anyway, you can tell it yourself later.
"Well, this time, we've dug up a total of 413 pieces. 5 pieces of more than 1.5 kg, 73 pieces of more than 1 kg, and more than 500 grams to one kg, 247 pieces. The rest are under 500 grams, and the smallest one also has 212 grams. The largest is the one that Xiao Afu dug up, the only one that weighs 2 kilograms. The fat man gave me the general situation.
"Oh, by the way, there's a piece that your son has gnawed on, so the total weight doesn't count it. There are a total of 300 kilograms. The fat man added.
Hearing these numbers reported by the fat man, everyone was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Although everyone thought that the size of this side was not small at the time of picking, everyone was scattered and did not know what the whole situation was.
Is the total production of 300 kg less? That's a lot, but it's a lot.
How much white truffle is produced in the world in a good year? That's about three tons. Now Liu Yunxuan's palm-sized place has dug up 300 kilograms, which is one-tenth of the output.
"Andy, I don't care, I'm going to give me some this time." When everyone was stunned. Jack came directly to Liu Yunxuan's side, grabbed his arm and said.
Because others are still sighing because of this yield and quality, he remembered a problem. Because the white truffles are so good this time, the weight of the individual is very high, and there are some problems in this sales.
How can truffles of such quality be sold as usual? These are all available for auction, even those small ones, and they also have their own restaurants. Those little ones are just right.
Thinking of this, Walker was anxious. If you don't know, it's going to be in vain today. This is not a success, even if it is rolled and spilled, you have to grab a few of these white truffles.
As soon as Jack reminded him, the chefs from other restaurants who came to purchase also reacted, and they couldn't sit still, so Liu Yunxuan was surrounded in the center.
"Everyone. I'm afraid I'm sorry this time, but everyone came for nothing, and I really can't sell it this time. Liu Yunxuan looked at everyone and said embarrassedly, and gave Walker an apologetic look.
He also reacted now, these white truffles can't be wholesaled to these restaurants. Not to mention wholesale. Retail is not a success.
In restaurants, the white truffles used are all paid for by the gram, and they are chopped in the same way. For them, there is not much difference between a hundred and ten grams and a kilogram.
The truffles on my side are too big and sold expensive, and I am afraid that the restaurant will lose money if I buy it, and if it is sold cheaply, I will lose money on my side.
Last year, two white truffles weighed 950 grams and sold for 90,000 euros, or about $120,000. In other words, more than 500 grams of white truffles on my side can be easily sold for tens of thousands of dollars.
How do these restaurants sourc? How much do you have to sell for the finished food after purchasing? Therefore, the best place for these white truffles is the homes of gourmets or rich people who are not short of money.
Those who are smaller, eat some at home, and use some in the restaurant, and that's pretty much it.
Truffles are the most delicious when they are eaten when they are fresh, that is, they are stored by certain technical means, and after they are opened, they have to be eaten as much as possible, and those large white truffles are not easy to get.
"Haha, I won't let everyone come for nothing. It just so happens that my son gnawed the white truffle, if you don't dislike it, you can show your skills. Liu Yunxuan looked at the chefs again and said.
Everyone is a chef, and it's so easy to come over once. It is estimated that it is because the yield and color of the black truffles are good these times, so I rushed over.
When I came, I was a guest, and I helped myself do my work for half a day. You can't let people come happily, and then go back disappointed.
The chefs also expressed their understanding of the current situation. Even if Liu Yunxuan sold it to them, they couldn't give a suitable price.
However, three chefs said that they came here anyway, and could they just buy a piece of truffle, which doesn't need to be too big, more than a pound.
They are also gourmets, and they can also be said to be foodies, and when they see these white truffles, they really can't take a step. But too big is also a burden for them, not that they can't afford it, but it's too luxurious.
Liu Yunxuan was also very happy, everyone picked a 600-gram one, and he didn't charge more, 50,000 US dollars per person. These are all stable customers of their own black truffles, and they can't be treated badly.
Anyway, you can't buy white truffles today, so let's taste them. As for minding Little Ah Fu to gnaw? Where would anyone?
Such a large truffle is extravagant to be used up at one time, and it doesn't take much to make a dish for one person, and there are still a lot of truffles left.
Let go of the burden in your heart, and everyone will start to enjoy it. It's not common to see truffles like this, and it's still grown in the United States, not in the white truffle region of Italy.
Don't look at Xiao Afu, he doesn't like the taste of white truffles when he directly holds and gnaws on them, but when these chefs finish the dishes, this little guy keeps sniffing around the table with his little nose.
"You, you won't be honest for a while, and we'll start eating when it's all done in a while." Liu Yunxuan looked at Xiao Afu's face full of greed and said funny.
This is the first time I have seen Xiao Afu's face so obsessed with food, although he used to like to eat, but basically sat at the table and waited honestly.
"Edward, it seems that your cooking skills have improved a lot in the past two years, and we have to work harder." People who were familiar with Edward looked at Edward's cooking and said complimentally.
They all do this, and they keep an eye on each other when cooking.
And Edward's current restaurant can be said to be the fastest rising high-end restaurant in the catering industry, and because of the introduction of wild vegetables, the call for him to go to three stars this year is very high, so I paid more attention to it.
In the same way of cooking, Edward gives the impression that he is at ease, and there is no trace of urgency and caution at all. The people here are all masters, so it is natural to see that Edward's cooking skills have reached a certain height, and they send and receive from the heart.
It's easier said than done. Otherwise, there would be no chefs running all over the world, and three-star Michelin restaurants can be found everywhere.
"I owe it to my boss, if he didn't provide me with protection, I probably wouldn't have had that much time to fully immerse myself in culinary research." Edward shook his head and said with a smile.
Although he is in charge of the entire restaurant, he does not have to worry at all about the procurement of ingredients that the restaurant needs to worry about the most.
The ingredients used in the restaurant are selected from the ranch, except for some very special products that are not provided by the ranch. If there is an ingredient that sells well one day, and the ranch is out of stock, it is a chartered plane, and it will be delivered.
As we all know, the owner of his own restaurant is secondary to making money, and the only purpose is to work hard for three Michelin stars, and all aspects are naturally fully supported.
"Haha, let's taste your craftsmanship quickly. Actually, I'm still very honored, it's not that you have how much money you can invite everyone to cook with. Liu Yunxuan joked, which can be regarded as a praise for these chefs.
There is also competition among peers, and not all people are open-minded. And what he said is not lying, everyone is quite busy, if it weren't for the fact that white truffles are produced for the first time, it would be enough to gather so many chefs.
In fact, the children had already started eating it, and Edward's assistant and suitor, Stewart, had already made the dishes cooked by these chefs on small plates according to the types for them to eat.
Everyone is making specialty dishes, and Liu Yunxuan can't stop nodding after tasting them one by one.
The ingredients are good, the craftsmanship is also good, anyway, if he is allowed to taste, it is from the same level of chefs. Although he is also a foodie, he really can't eat the slightest nuance.
Not to mention the little ones, they eat a mouthful of oil, and the little ones are not idle. (To be continued......)
