Wang Bo said as he took out a fist-sized round tuber from the bottom of the crisper and said, "My main purpose today is to introduce this ingredient to the two of you, I hope you like it!" ”

When the pale white tubers were placed on the table, Roewe and Li Maoshan were a little shocked, they didn't expect Wang Bo to come up with this top-notch ingredient comparable to gold.

After being silent for a while, Li Maoshan spoke: "Mr. Wang, as far as I know, the Jiangdu Ancient City area, where the main ingredients of your Longhu agricultural products are supplied, does it?" ”

The ingredient that appeared in front of Roewe and Li Maoshan was nothing else, but the top ingredient known as the 'black diamond' - truffle.

The truffle is a mushroom, often an annual fungus, which is classified into about 10 different varieties of the genus Truffle in the family Asaccharidae.

Truffles mostly grow in the roots of pine, oak and oak trees, scattered at the bottom of the tree with a radius of 120~150 cm, and the block-like body is hidden in the ground 5~40 cm.

Truffles have a special smell, rich in protein, amino acids and other nutrients, and the yield is scarce, so together with foie gras and caviar, it is known as the king of the world's three treasures.

Truffles are mainly distributed in France, Italy, New Zealand and other countries, and among the many species, the black truffle from France and the white truffle from Italy are the most rated.

Because the truffle is extremely demanding on the growing environment, it is rare and expensive.

China also produces truffles, which are very similar in appearance to French black truffles. The scales of the outer skin are relatively small, and the white stripes on the inside are relatively fine. It mainly grows on the fibrous roots of pine trees, which is also the origin of the Chinese name "truffle". The main production area is in the Sichuan-Yunnan border area, but there is no record of loose production in the southeast area of Jiangdu, where the production base of Longhu agricultural products is located.

As a top chef, Li Maoshan naturally knows the origin of truffles, so he has such a saying.

………………

"I won't explain the specific reasons, as long as you believe that our Longhu agricultural products can provide a large number of such high-quality ingredients!" Wang Bo said confidently.

In fact, Wang Bo himself is also confused about the origin of these truffles.

He originally thought that these truffles were mailed back by Zeng Zhi from abroad, because Zeng Zhi was in the UK recently, preparing to open the British market. Britain is not far from France and Italy, and it is not difficult to buy some truffles from there and send them back.

However, after examining the appearance and smell of these truffles, Wang Bo confirmed that these truffles are not produced in France and Italy, but in China.

Ripe Chinese black truffles have a complex mushroom flavor and are an incomprehensible olfactory taste.

Since deciding to accept the position of general manager of Longfor Agricultural Magic Capital flagship store, he has always been very strong, in order not to let people say that he is looking at his girlfriend's relationship, Wang Boke has spent a lot of effort to study and study the information of various top ingredients in the world, and he is no stranger to truffles.

And for the special taste of Chinese truffles, he also has personal experience.

Originally, due to the soil, climate and other conditions, the truffles produced in China are not highly evaluated internationally, and the price cannot be compared with the top truffles from France, Italy and other countries.

However, this time, the truffles sent from the ancient city to the magic capital are of extremely high quality, not only have a strong fragrance, but also the tubers are quite large, which can be regarded as the top product in the truffle field.

The most unbelievable thing is that these truffles are so neatly sized that they are all the size of an adult's fist, and they all weigh about 800 grams. The lightest is about 700 grams, and the heaviest is about 1000 grams.

It's pretty scary. You must know that the general truffle, a single plant is one or two taels, like this truffle weighing one or two pounds per plant, it is definitely the best of the best. If you really want to go to auction at those auctions, you can definitely fetch a sky-high price.

In November 2010, the "gambling king" Stanley Ho ordered two Italian Toslana white truffles and Morisse white truffles weighing a total of 1.3 kilograms for a record-breaking US$330,000, or about HK$2.5 million. This is the fourth consecutive year that SJM has hosted the Italian White Truffle International Charity Auction Dinner at the Grand Lisboa Hotel in Macau.

Wang Bo spoke again: "Mr. Rong, I am not convenient to inform you of the specific origin of the truffles, but there is one thing we can guarantee, that is, to provide enough high-quality truffles to the revolving restaurant!" ”

Seeing the excitement flickering in Rongwei's eyes, Wang Bo added a fire and said, "We not only have black truffles, but the quality of white truffles is not bad. ”

In the market, there is a big difference in price between black truffle and white truffle due to the difference in the intensity of the aroma, and there is also a huge difference in the effect when used in dishes.

Although Wang Bo didn't know where Zeng Zhi got these high-quality truffles, he could make use of these high-quality ingredients to make the cooperation between Longhu Agricultural Products and Revolving Restaurant relatively equal.

………………

"Okay, no problem!" After thinking about it for a while, Rong Wei and Li Maoshan nodded in agreement with Wang Bo's opinion.

Soon, the two sides began to have a heated discussion on the supply price of various ingredients, from meat products and eggs to various vegetables and fruits.

After all, this is a matter of direct economic interest for both parties.

In particular, the two top ingredients, black truffle and white truffle, are a huge loss every time they give up.

After all, even if this superb white truffle and black truffle cannot be sold at auction because of mass production, it must still be sold at a very high price.

Such a price, even if it is increased or decreased by one percentage point, it is hundreds or thousands of yuan. Considering the quantity, it may be a business of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

Overall, Wang Bo had a slight advantage in the negotiations, after all, he had the top ingredients in his hands and did not worry about the buyer at all.

And the revolving restaurant seems to be strong, but in fact, it also has a huge weakness.

In the end, after nearly a day of difficult tug-of-war, the revolving restaurant finally reached an agreement with Longfor Agricultural Products on the supply of raw materials, becoming the first customer of Longfor Agricultural Products in the magic capital.

According to the purchase contract signed by the two parties, the revolving restaurant basically buys various ingredients with a total price of more than 50,000 yuan from Longhu Agricultural Products every day.

Of course, top-notch ingredients such as black truffles and white truffles, as well as Nanwushan specialties such as wild gastrodia, are counted separately.

The customer base of these sky-high ingredients is indeed smaller, and the daily sales volume is uncertain, so it is impossible to be included in the list of quantitative purchases, and can only order from Longhu agricultural products when needed.

Moreover, according to the agreement between the two parties, Longfor Agricultural Products can mark the words "special supplier of revolving restaurant" in its own promotional materials and stores; The revolving restaurant must also indicate on the menu that the ingredients are from Longfor agricultural products.
