Yang Huairen had already thought of truffle hunters looking for new truffle buyers, and I have to say that in these years, the merchants are still a bit too much for the ordinary people engaged in raw material production or gathering.

Not only ores, truffles, but also the most basic grains, silk, twine, etc., etc., the first link of the working masses of the people who are engaged in labor is to sell the materials they grow or gather for money, and their income is actually the least.

In addition to the reason why it is difficult to spontaneously find a market outlet due to information blockage, their conservative thinking is also an important reason, for example, if the peasants have a surplus of grain, they will only sell it to some grain merchants who collect grain, and they have no room to control and choose the purchase price.

Merchants who have received the raw materials and repackaged or processed them will sell them again for at least double the original purchase price.

This old hunter actually has such an awareness, perhaps it is the merchants who originally purchased truffles from him who have been buying truffles at a low price for many years, so that he gradually has the idea of looking for truffle buyers again.

So when he met Yang Huairen and saw that he was a businessman who came to Dali to buy local products and sell them back to the Great Song Dynasty, it was not difficult to understand that he wanted Yang Huairen to be interested in truffles.

He was also lucky to meet Yang Huairen, a person who recognized truffles.

"Uncle, I can pay a higher price than others for these black truffles you collect, but I also have a special request."

The old man was very happy, "Thank you for this official, we will try our best to meet any requirements you have to make." ”

"Hehe," Yang Huairen smiled kindly, "The request is not a difficult request, it is very simple." I will not give a uniform price for the black truffles you collect, but will first let you classify the black truffles according to my requirements, according to their condition, size and quality.

I will write down the specific requirements in detail to let you know, the best quality, I will buy at twice the price you just said, and the average quality will be purchased at the price of plus 30%, and the quality is slightly worse, then it can only be purchased at the original price. ”

The old man nodded and agreed without thinking about it. He felt that although the Han merchant in front of him looked young on his face, his way of doing business was still very commendable, and he gave different purchase prices according to the quality of the truffles, which was completely reasonable.

Despite this, the black truffles collected by the hunters were still sold for a lot of money, and he knew that most of the black truffles they collected from the deep mountains and old forests were of good quality, and he was completely worried that they would not make more money.

Thinking of this, the old man said happily, "Since this is the case, then let's make up our minds, in order to express the old man's gratitude, this piece of black truffle might as well be given to the official as a meeting gift." ”

Saying that, the old man pushed over with a small burden in his hand, Yang Huairen did not refuse, but he said, "I accepted this black truffle, but it will also be counted as my purchase, according to the best quality of the money, and give it together at the checkout." ”

"Official, you're too polite."

……

The hunter old man also had to lead his hunters to find more black truffles, and it was inconvenient to let Yang Huairen and the others go deeper into the dense forest, so he asked a young hunter to lead them out of the mountain and go to their village for a short rest.

Yang Huairen also knew that they would definitely stay until dark when they came out early in the morning, so he did not refuse, and followed the young man back to the camp by the main road, and led the caravan to the village where the old man was before noon.

The style of the villages in the mountains is roughly similar, and the flat mountains in the valley open up a world, and people gather here to live and reproduce, and when there are more people, it gradually becomes a small mountain village.

However, this village is much larger, judging from the dense bamboo buildings or wooden buildings, there are probably nearly 100 households.

Perhaps because the village sells black truffles for a lot of money every year, the whole village is much more prosperous than the mountain village where Asa is located, the houses are relatively new, and the infrastructure such as roads is also relatively similar.

As for which one Zimo belongs to this village, or whether this village is originally a tribal settlement, Yang Huairen didn't know too much, the villagers didn't speak Chinese very well, everyone could only smile and smile at each other, even if they said hello, but there was no in-depth communication.

The boy led Yang Huairen's caravan to the largest house in the middle of the village, where the villagers warmly welcomed them.

When the villagers heard that these Han merchants were the new truffle buyers hired by the village chief, and that the prices offered were very high, they felt even more kind to them.

The stove in the house was full of firewood, and the rice and cured meat that he was usually reluctant to eat every day were also brought out to entertain them, and he also killed a few local chickens to make a pot of chicken soup.

Yang Huairen touched the egg-sized black truffle in his arms, and said with a smile, "I'll let you taste the delicious black truffle at noon today." ”

Brother Tianba was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, and even the villagers were interested, and many old people and children were curious to lie on the windows of the house to see how this young man of the Han family was going to cook their treasures that made a fortune.

Yang Huairen didn't have a shelf at all, and distributed some biscuits and other food he brought with him to the children and the elderly who were watching outside the window and outside the door, and the children were a little cramped and shy at first, but then saw that Yang Huairen was very amiable with a smile, so they accepted his kindness.

And Yang Huairen can see from the number of old people and children in this village, as well as their clothes and faces, that the living conditions of the people in the village are still okay, which is all due to the fact that those hunters risked their lives to collect truffles in the deep mountains and old forests.

In fact, Yang Huairen has never cooked black truffles himself, but when he was in a five-star hotel, he had seen the chef of winter melon head cooking, although his character is not very good, but there are still some cooking skills.

According to his own skills, Yang Huairen thought about cooking black truffles, in fact, the difficulty is not too great, but there is one thing he should pay special attention to, black truffles are very rich in nutrients, but the complex and diverse nutrients in them also determine that there are some nutrients that cannot be cooked at high temperatures.

Like some organic nutrients, if they encounter a high temperature of more than 100 degrees during the cooking process, they will decompose, thus losing their original nutritional value.
