Chapter 187: Phaeton Auction House
William M. Thackeray, a 19th-century English novelist, said, "At this moment we feel a smell coming over us, a musky, fiery, spicy, and dazed smell that soothes the senses, but is also agitated!"
Known as the "King of the World's Treasures", truffles are as expensive as gold and are the finest ingredient that chefs in high-end hotels and restaurants around the world look forward to every year.
Among them, the "black diamond" black truffle from France and the "white gold" white truffle from Italy are the most high-quality and the most expensive.
Truffles can be as small as a peanut or as large as a handball. The truffle growth cycle is only one year. Its size and age are completely irrelevant. It grows only with the changes of the seasons, death and birth. In general, black truffles ripen in about December and continue to reach maturity in March of the following year. Overripe truffles will rot and disintegrate.
Truffles cannot be farmed in captivity, and it is quite difficult to find them, only pigs and dogs with highly trained females can smell them.
Truffles belong to fungi, and Su Zhe originally thought that fungi would not appear in the plant store, after all, fungi and plants are not the same.
However, after Su Zhe found truffles in the plant dui huàn mall, he searched for mushrooms and found many kinds of mushrooms.
It seems that the plant exchange huàn mall can not only exchange huàn plants, but also fungi, which is a surprise.
The more complete the things that can be exchanged for the plant in the huàn mall, the better it is for Su Zhe, so that Su Zhe doesn't have to worry about not finding what he needs.
Su Zhe knew that the price of truffles was high. In particular, the most famous and expensive of the Italian truffles are the white truffles from the Alba region. The price is the highest.
White truffle mushrooms are wild plant fungi. Similar to mushrooms, porcini mushrooms and the like, they are produced in Italy and are promoted by the world, only appearing in auctions and media headlines. Because of its preciousness, it is known as a white diamond.
Su Zhe didn't know why the price of white truffles was so high, so he was very curious about white truffles, and now that Su Zhe had the opportunity to plant them, he naturally wouldn't give up.
White truffles and black truffles have the same huàn points. So Su Zhe naturally chose to mix huàn white truffles without hesitation.
Su Zhe exchanged 5 white truffles at one time, of course, Su Zhe naturally did not exchange huàn ripe white truffles, which would cost too many points.
He exchanged huàn for each white truffle weighing 2 grams, each of which cost 2 points, and Su Zhe spent a total of 10 points.
Su Zhe put these five white truffles. Bury it in the soil and pour a relatively high concentration of acceleration potion on it.
As for how big these 5 white truffles can grow in the future, Su Zhe can only pray silently, and for the rest, Su Zhe can only resign himself to fate, after all, there is no precedent for successful artificial cultivation of truffles.
After that, Su Zhe went out with the ginseng in the gift box. As for the jade in the room, Su Zhe still decided to sell it to Tianya Jewelry Store.
Because of that piece of jade. Basically, the gambling stone circle in Yanyun City is relatively well-informed, so whoever sells it to is the same.
And when he was in Shenzhou City, after Su Zhe and Xia Hannuo talked about the acquisition of Kangmei Pet Hospital, Xia Hannuo also asked Su Zhe what he planned to do with this piece of jade.
Anyway, as long as the price can be afforded, the jadeite is sold to whom, not for sale. So Su Zhe decided to simply sell it to Tianya Jewelry Store, after all, Su Zhe and Xia Hannuo have cooperated several times, and the process is very smooth, and Xia Hannuo's price is more appropriate, and it will not mess around.
However, because Xia Hannuo needs to deal with some business in Shenzhou City, he can't come to Yanyun City today. So today, Su Zhe doesn't have to take the jade to Tianya jewelry store, at least after Xia Hannuo returns to Yanyun City tomorrow, Su Zhe will take the jade to Tianya jewelry store to find her.
In fact, this is mainly Su Zhe, who did not inform Xia Hannuo in Shenzhou City, that he had already decided to sell the jade to Tianya Jewelry Store.
If Xia Hannuo knew Su Zhe's thoughts, he would definitely go back to Yanyun City with Su Zhe today, and Xia Hannuo didn't know how much he wanted the jade in Su Zhe's hand.
If there was a chance to get it, Xia Hannuo would not have wasted a trace of time.
She will definitely reach a deal with Su Zhe as soon as possible, and try to get Su Zhe's jade as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night and lose the jade.
This high-quality jadeite is rare on the market, and many people are eyeing the jadeite in Su Zhe's hand.
Su Zhe took the ginseng and drove to the destination. His current target is the Phaeton auction house that he had been to once with Liu Xiong before.
Phaeton Auction House is a very powerful auction house with a high reputation and strong appraisal capabilities.
Moreover, Su Zhe once participated in an auction of the Phaeton Auction House, and saw the Phaeton Auction House auction wild ginseng, a wild ginseng that was identified as 420 years old.
Finally, after fierce competition, this 420-year-old wild ginseng was auctioned for a sky-high price of 18 million.
The price of 18 million shows people's demand for high-vintage wild ginseng, and it also undoubtedly proves that the Phaeton auction house has a strong operational strength, otherwise it would not have the ability to raise the price of wild ginseng so much.
This is the reason why Su Zhe chose Phaeton Auction House in the first place, and he naturally hoped that Phaeton Auction House could also auction his ginseng for a sky-high price.
Su Zhe drove directly to the Phaeton auction house.
If you want to auction an item at Phaeton Auction House, you must first be appraised by an appraiser at Phaeton Auction House to determine its authenticity and value before you can arrange an auction.
The Phaeton auction act is to prevent people from taking some worthless fakes to fish in troubled waters and increase the workload of the staff. Therefore, there is a need to pay some appraisal fees at the Phaeton auction house.
In this way, it also avoids some people who come to try their luck.
After Su Zhe knew the regulations of the Phaeton Auction House, he paid the appraisal fee and received the number, and he waited on the side.
Because the Phaeton Auction House often auctions sky-high prices, these are deeply in need of people, so there are many people who want to auction at the Phaeton Auction House, so the flow of people in the Phaeton Auction House is not a lot every day.
Every day, many people come to the Phaeton auction house with "antiques" that they think are of high value, hoping to auction them at the Phaeton auction house. But most of the items that are auctioned are worthless, and even the appraisal of the first level of the phaeton auction house cannot pass.
In this way, some daydreamers, when the things they brought were judged by the Phaeton auction house to be worthless, thought that they had spent the appraisal fee in vain, and were not convinced, so they figured out guò to make trouble and get the appraisal fee back. (To be continued......)
