Chapter 869: Burning Money (Updated 2
When Mr. Hua set off to return to China, classmate Le Xiao, Milo and others also took their belongings and set off to dig truffles at the castle owner’s farm and ranch. Well, Zoro and the Ferrari family's chefs were waiting at the castle instead of joining in the fun.
Roberto originally contracted the host's farm and ranch for seven days. Mr. Ferrari found a good doctor for his child because of his old friend. He grabbed the opportunity to pay the bill and reserved the venue.
The group of people all wore waterproof and moisture-proof mountaineering clothing. They first went to the farm and pasture that had been dug for two days. The Ferrari family's bodyguards had backpacks. There were people carrying hoes for digging truffles, and there were people pushing the young master's wheelchair. They were traveling as if they were attending an event.
Arriving at a farm and pasture planted with oak trees, Alessandro held the hunter's hand. Truffle dogs carry out search work.
There are rows of oak trees in the farm and pasture. The pastures have been harvested. The grass is now very short and there are fallen leaves in some places. In the morning, there are signs of rain again. It is cold in winter. The smell is particularly obvious.
In order to see how the Ferrari family looks for truffles, Le Yun carried a hoe and followed the old Mr. Ferrari to observe how the old man was sure that the dog had found the truffles.
Mr. and Mrs. Rossi’s pinehound is a golden retriever with a very gentle temperament. In order to make it easier to find truffles, the owner cut its long hair and put a leather muff around its neck. Stop holding the hand and let it walk on its own.
The dog sniffs here, sniffs there, doing its job conscientiously.
After walking for nearly half an hour, The dog circled under a pine tree, then touched its nose to the ground, sniffed like a pear, and after about half a minute, dug the soil with its paws.
The young man from the Ferrari family carrying a hoe stepped forward to dig, and the dog The dog sat aside and watched.
After observing the music for a long time, his face smiled like a sunflower. Waiting for the excavation over there, he smiled and walked to the bottom of a row of oak trees on the opposite side, swinging a hoe. Knocking a hoe into the ground: "Miro, it's time for you to get to work."
When the little girl walked to another row of trees to look for truffles, the Ferrari family and the dog stared at it and found that Next to him was the place he had walked before, with a confused look on his face.
Milo followed his children to the designated place, happily waved his hoe and worked happily. Roberto smiled happily and Alessandro stood together and watched the young men on both sides dig truffles.
After finding a job for Milo, Leyun walked back with the hoe, walked to the bottom of another tree, and swung the sharp point. The sharp hoe also dug down. Before others could dig out the harvest, she dug out a lump as big as a fist.
Roberto and others: "..." There is an oriental girl and a truffle-hunting dog. I'm going to lose my job.
The young man from the Ferrari family dug for a while, and the dog stretched out his paws to dig at the soil.A piece of truffle is revealed, also about the size of a fist, and the dog is rewarded with a piece of bread with truffle in it.
After a few minutes, Milo also dug out a truffle, which was quite big. Compared with the truffle found by the dog, it was a little bigger.
When the dog saw the truffles found by humans, it drooped its head and was very depressed.
"Ms. Doctor, you will have no friends if you do this." Amedeo looked at the sky with great resentment when he saw the truffles Milo dug. The doctor's nose was more sensitive than that of a truffle-hunting dog. , the dog is sad.
"It doesn't matter, Milo will not stop being friends with you just because I am excellent. Milo, let's go. In order not to snatch the truffles from Mr. Ferrari, let's go to the other side." Le Yun With a face that couldn't stop laughing, he left the team with a hoe on his shoulder.
Milo walked with the children and waved to everyone: "Gentlemen, you should work hard too."
"Miro, you have to be more active and help your children more Dig some truffles." Roberto waved happily as he watched his godson and his little friend off.
"Let's go, let's not damage our confidence." Amedeo waved his hands reluctantly and said firmly that he didn't care.
Waiting for the two attacking guys to go away, Alejandro stroked the dog’s head and comforted the dog: “Man, you are great, we have to work hard, we can’t lose to the children.”< br />
After being comforted by humans for a while, the truffle-hunting dogs regained their confidence and excitedly set out to find truffles again.
Milo followed the children some distance away from the group and laughed wantonly: "Xiao Lele, you are so awesome. The truffle hunting dog has been hit by you. You are better than it, it will definitely From then on, I had a psychological shadow."
"I didn't mean it." You can't blame her. She is a human and has a sensitive nose. She can analyze hundreds of smells one by one. .
"Xiao Lele, why didn't the truffle-hunting dog find the truffles? You would have found them?"
"It found them, but you didn't see where they were actually Do you want to smell it? Because the smell of truffles is everywhere on the ground surface. The truffles in the soil are buried deeper and have a lighter smell. It cannot be completely sure, so it did not notify humans."
"It seems like that. Yes, it’s just that Little Lele is the best.” Milo recalled that the truffle-hunting dog had actually been to the place where he dug truffles.
"That's, if I wasn't good at it, I wouldn't dare to dig truffles by myself. If I can't dig truffles, I will be laughed at."
"Haha, I like to watch it the most. Little Lele looks confident, let's go and dig truffles to make Amedeo jealous of us."
"Let's go, hey, here is your job." Le Yun picked up the hoe. Go toHe dug a hoe into the lawn not far from the tree and made a mark. He turned around and went to look for the next target.
Milo went to work happily, squatting on the ground and digging the soil.
Le Yun is responsible for finding truffles in an area, and then she digs them further away. She hides some of the truffles she finds in the space and leaves some outside.
Two people were working hard to find truffles on farms and pastures. There were no other truffle hunters digging for truffles. They had no pressure and were not afraid of being dug up for truffles if they were slow.
Alessandro and Roberto walked around with the dogs, returned to the castle for lunch at one o'clock in the afternoon, and set out for the farm at three o'clock, while Milo and The two children were reluctant to waste time eating at noon and ate bread at the farm and pasture.
Finishing work in the evening, Milo and his classmates once again won with a crushing advantage, which made Amedeo very sad. He also wanted to use truffles to talk to the doctor more in exchange for her to do more A little bread, hoping to soak up the soup.
In the evening of the same day, Mr. Xuan arrived at the white truffle-producing area of Italy close to Turin and wandered around.
Classmate Le Le continued to give Amedeo acupuncture in the evening. He also did not let go of old Ferrari and Roberto, and caught the two old gentlemen to do acupuncture at the same time.
Milo drank wine happily, admiring the Godfather and Ferrari and his son lining up to receive acupuncture, and occasionally teased Amedeo unkindly.
On the night when Hua was visiting Europe, Hua returned to the capital at around 5 o'clock in the morning. The group returned to the Hua Family Courtyard in a low-key manner and had a good sleep.
Le Xiao’s classmate didn’t know that Mr. Hua had returned to China. After she finished acupuncture for the patient, she went back to her room to rest. She took advantage of the quiet night to go back to space and plant truffles in the medicinal field. Every time she saw Xiao The Fox Gang harvested huge clumps of big lumps, and they were all floating.
One day and one night in the truffle planting field, the truffles weigh five or six kilograms, like golden clouds. Just looking at them makes people happy.
Experiments show that the largest one only weighs five or six kilograms. If you must keep it to grow, it will end at seven kilograms at most. Moreover, it was relatively old at that time and would be oversaturated with water. The phenomenon.
The best time to harvest truffles is when they grow to about five pounds, are large enough, contain stable nutrients and have the best vitality.
Digging truffles from outside and planting them in medicinal fields will provide enough raw materials to make delicacies and pills to improve human immunity.
Le Yun was in a great mood, and her sleep was particularly sweet. When she woke up, she was full of energy to dig truffles.
However, the weather was not good. By Saturday, the first weekend in November, God probably thought that Mr. Le was too greedy and it turned rainy.La.
The rain started falling before dawn, and the sky and the earth were covered with mist.
Since it was raining and unable to dig truffles, Le Yun fulfilled her promise and went to the kitchen to make truffle bread.
In order not to interfere with the little girl’s work, the chef and others all ran out of the door. They saw the little girl took out some grass roots and some plants, crushed them for juice, and smashed a few truffles. Mix, then knead the dough. After the bread is kneaded, let it cool for half an hour. Then crush a few truffles and grind them into a paste and add it to the dough. After that, it is the normal steps of making bread.
When the oriental girl baked the bread, and the aroma filled the castle, it was baked three times in a row. Roberto and others invited the homeowner and his wife to have morning tea in the living room.
Old Mr. and Mrs. Rossi had tasted the delicious truffle bread made by the oriental girl, and each bite was a "little sweetheart". They shouted that they should also dig truffles and asked the little sweetheart to help make bread.
It rained intermittently until noon. It stopped in the afternoon and the ground was wet. It was not suitable for digging truffles. It was destined to be a day of rest.
While Roberto and others rested, Le classmate went to the kitchen to make truffle bread. He baked a lot of fragrant bread, packed it in bags and stored it as dry food, and gave more than a dozen truffle bread to Mr. and Mrs. Rossi. , and also gave them to two of their pet dogs. Facts have proved that the delicious food not only won the hearts of the old Rossi couple, but also the dogs, who followed the little Oriental guests to act coquettishly and cutely, and they were intimate.
The youth of the Ferrari family was hit hard, but what was even more shocking came later. When they set out to dig truffles the next day, the dog followed the little girl and did not want to go looking for truffles with Mr. Ferrari. The old Luo Xi couple was laughing so hard that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear for a long time.
In order to let the dog find truffles with the Ferrari family, classmate Le had to give two loaves of bread to the youths of the Ferrari family and let them bring the bread. The dog would reward the dog with the bread when it found the truffles.
It is said that "birds perish for food." There is a deep truth in that saying. It is probably because the truffle bread is delicious. In order to exchange for the bread, the dogs worked extra hard, and the harvest was obviously better than the previous day. The number of people in the Ferrari family was astonished, and even Mr. and Mrs. Rossi were also surprised.
At noon that day, Alessandro and Roberto did not go back to the castle for lunch. They ate some dry food and went to work again. They looked for truffles and ended their work at 6:30 and returned to the castle.
Milo Leyun also finished work early and went back to the landlord where she was staying with the old gentlemen. After everyone cleaned up, they drove to the most famous hotel in the town for dinner.
Old Mr. Ferrari made a reservation in advance, so they didn’t have to worry about running out of seats. When they arrived at the hotel, they were led to the reserved seats by the waiter. The dinner was a variety of food with fresh truffles.
The hotel was fully booked and there was a truffle auction held every weekend in November that night.The first truffle auction started in November this year, and the auction was connected to the Alba International White Truffle Festival held in Piedmont, Italy. Many reporters held cameras to grab news materials. Tourists who come here to visit and businessmen who come every year to buy truffles are full of expectations.
At the hotel where the auction was held at the Alba International White Truffle Festival, Mr. Xuan and his family guards were sitting in their seats, waiting leisurely for the auction to begin.
After 8 pm, a few minutes before the auction started, the home stadium and branch venues were connected to the Internet, and one of the branch venues was on the Chinese island of Ao.
The truffles for auction were sent to the exhibition stand in advance and were initially covered with a soft cloth. When the auction officially started, the red cloth was taken away and the true colors of the truffles were revealed. The largest white truffle weighed more than 810 grams. , there are also several pieces weighing more than 500 or 700 grams. Except for the big ones, the rest are small pieces of truffles, packaged and sold in portions, ranging from 2 to 3 hundred grams or 5 to 6 hundred grams.
When the auction started, the scene was very lively, with quotes rising and falling.
Mr. Xuan didn’t bid, he just joined in the fun and experienced the atmosphere. The auction price was far higher than the local price. If he wanted to buy truffles, it would be more appropriate to go to a local truffle hunter. He was not prepared to ask anyone else. Buy it, that cute little beauty dug a lot of truffles. If necessary, find a little loli to spread it out, so that the rich water does not go to others.
While watching the Internet-connected venue, the Xuanjia youth saw Miss Le and quickly told the young master. The young master Xuan quickly diverted his attention and really found the little Lolita in the first branch venue of Yiguo. , the little beauty sat with a group of foreigners, her smile brighter than the gerbera.
Seeing the cute little beauty, the Xuanjia youths instantly became energetic and waited for her reaction. When the auction was going on, the little beauty had no reaction. They were so leisurely that they ate whatever they should. Just drink and drink, looking calm and aloof.
Le Xiaoxiao really stayed out of the matter. Bidding was a matter of burning money, so she would not waste money by pretending to be wealthy.
She was very leisurely, but Ferrari and his son were not idle. They bid decisively. The old Ferrari spent thousands of dollars boldly and bought all the heaviest truffles. The scene in Tuscany town. The heaviest truffle weighs more than 800 grams, and two pieces weighing more than 500-700 grams are at the Alba venue and will soon be packed and sent to a place in Florence designated by him.
There was a local trencher who was in charge of the scene, and there was no chance for other big guys from abroad to take action. So, after the old Ferrari trencher took away the heaviest shares, the rest of the people had a share. After bidding, the remaining copies fell into the hands of other gourmets.
With the support of gourmets, the auction in the first week of November went very smoothly.
At the hotel scene in Tuokasna Town, after the auction, the auctioneer packaged the truffles and handed them over to the buyer.When the young people from Lali's family went to pay, they paid in cash, with lots of euros, which definitely had an impact.
The group of people collected the truffles and returned to the castle. When they arrived at the living room where they were staying, Alessandro gave the truffles as a small gift to the little oriental girl.
"Sir, I dug a lot of truffles myself. You will take the truffles back to your family and give them to your chef to make delicious food." The money you get out is used to buy truffles from truffle hunters, and you can buy at least twice the amount. Bidding is a waste of money.
The world of rich people is too complicated.
As a poor person who was once poor and now can barely be considered a petty bourgeoisie, Le Yun said that she really doesn’t understand the brain thinking of rich people. She must have too much money and no place to burn it, so she likes to participate in auctions just for the sake of it. Enjoy the feeling of spending money.
"The truffles dug by the lovely lady are your own, and this is a small gift from me." Alessandro happily took the truffle box from the bodyguard and handed it to Oriental little girl.
"Thank you." Someone forced a gift, and Leyun didn't even have the room to refuse. She could only take the box and send it to the room. She also didn't forget to ask the two old gentlemen and little Amedeo to prepare it. Get acupuncture.
Alessandro took the child upstairs to change clothes, and Roberto also happily returned to the guest room, changed clothes and put on a blanket and went to the old man's guest room, and then three young people, two old men and one young man, lay down in a row. Waiting to get the shot.
Milo was still admiring acupuncture by The Godfather and Ferrari and his sons, while drinking red wine.
The Farleys glared at Milo's enthusiasm as a melon-eater, and complained to Roberto that his child was unloving. In fact, they had always had a favorable impression of Milo. If not Milo knew the little girl from the East, and it was impossible for them to know the little girl. She would suffer from health problems for a long time, and she would not be in the good mood now.
After just one acupuncture, Alessandro and Roberto felt lighter and more energetic after a night's sleep. Both the sleep quality and the body's coordination ability were better than in previous years. The two old friends are also very happy about the signs of slowly returning to their heyday, and they often share their experiences while digging for truffles.
What excites Alejandro the most is that his child was originally suffering from premature aging. After the last medicinal treatment and a few days of acupuncture, there are signs of rejuvenation and the skin is changing. Well, my appetite is good every day. I have never had nausea or vomiting, and I have no abdominal distension or pain. I no longer have the same chills as before. I no longer have headaches when my hair gets wet when digging for truffles. My body’s resistance is quite strong.
Witnessing the miraculous changes taking place in his child, Alejandro relaxed for the first time, gave himself a holiday, enjoyed this rare moment of leisure, and enhanced the emotional communication between father and son and the deep friendship between them. friendship.
A new week has come. Milo maintained a strong spirit and accompanied the children to sweep the farm and pasture. They had already swept one of the host’s ranches and moved it to the second farm and ranch. If the farms and ranches are open to others to dig truffles, the harvest will basically not be too big. What can be dug are small truffles that have not grown up before but have grown up later.
Mr. Xuan had a round at the Alba Truffle Festival, wandered towards Tuscany, and walked to the town while enjoying the mountains and rivers, not in any hurry.
The Xuanjia youths were playing and walking. They were still on the road. In the blink of an eye, two days passed. On the 9th, Mr. Ferrari and his old friend Roberto were digging with the little doctor from the East. After a few days of truffles, he left first, planning to visit some old friends in Florence and Rome, and use his connections to open up certain joints for the young doctor to apply for a visa in a certain country.
Old Mr. Ferrari only brought two personal bodyguards, and the others stayed to take care of Amedeo. When the little oriental girl finished her trip to dig truffles, Amedeo and others would go home.
