Chapter 869: Burning Money (update 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. Enzo and the Ferrari family’s chefs were waiting there. Don’t go join in the fun at the castle.
Roberto originally contracted the owner’s farm and ranch for seven days. Because his old friend found a good doctor for his child, Mr. Ferrari snatched the opportunity to foot the bill and let him book the place. Everyone in the group wore waterproof clothes
. Wearing waterproof mountaineering clothes, we first went to the farm and ranch where we had been digging for two days. The bodyguards of the Ferrari family had backpacks, some carried hoes for digging truffles, and some were responsible for pushing the young master's wheelchair. They traveled as if they were attending an event.
Arriving at the farm and pasture planted with oak trees, Alessandro led the truffle hunting dog to start the search. The oak trees
in the farm and pasture were lined up, and the pastures had been harvested. The grass was now very short, and there were fallen leaves in some places. The sky was bright in the morning. There were signs of rain again, and the cold winter atmosphere was particularly obvious.
In order to see how the Ferrari family looked for truffles, Le Yun carried a hoe and followed old Mr. Ferrari to observe how the old man was sure that the dog had found the truffles.
Luo The pine hunting dog owned by Mr. and Mrs. Xi is a golden retriever with a very gentle temperament. In order to make it easier to find truffles, the owner has cut its long hair and put a leather muzzle around its neck. It walked on its own.
The dog sniffed here, sniffed there, and worked diligently.
After walking for nearly half an hour, the dog circled under a pine tree, then touched its nose to the ground, sniffing like a pear, almost Half a minute later, he dug the soil with his paws.
The young man carrying the hoe from the Ferrari family came forward to dig, and the dog sat aside and watched.
After observing the music for a long time, his face smiled like a sunflower. Waiting for digging over there, he walked away with a smile. He went to the bottom of a row of oak trees on the opposite side and struck the ground with a hoe: "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 her. Look, I found that it was the place I had walked before, and I was confused.
Milo followed his children to the designated place, happily waved his hoe, and worked happily. Roberto smiled brightly and stood together with Alessandro, watching the young men on both sides dig truffles.
After finding a job for Milo, Leyun carried the hoe and walked back to the bottom of another tree. She swung the pointed hoe and dug down too. Before others could dig out the harvest, she dug out a lump as big as her fist. pimple.
Roberto and others: "..." There is an Oriental girl, and the truffle-hunting dog will lose its job.
The young man from the Ferrari family dug for a while, and the dog stretched out its paws to dig into the soil, and soon dug out a truffle, which was also the size of a fist. The dog was rewarded with a piece of bread with truffles.
A few minutes later, 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, which made the dog sad.
"It doesn't matter. Milo won't stop being friends with you just because I'm good. Milo, let's go. In order not to snatch the truffles from Mr. Ferrari, let's go to the other side." Le Yun couldn't stop laughing. With a smile on his face, he left the team with a hoe on his back.
Milo followed the children and waved to everyone: "Gentlemen, you have to work hard too." "
Miro, you have to be more active and help your children dig more truffles." Roberto waved happily and watched his godson and his son go. kid.
"Let's go, let's not damage our confidence." Amedeo waved his hand reluctantly, saying firmly that he didn't care.
After the two attacking guys walked 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."
After being comforted by the human for a while, the truffle-hunting dog Only then did I regain my confidence and excitedly set out to look for 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 was hit by you. You are better than it. It must have a psychological shadow from then on."
"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 look for truffles? You would find it?" "
It found it. Didn't you see that it actually sniffed in those places? Because the smell of truffles is everywhere on the surface of the ground, and in the soil The truffles were buried deeper and had a lighter flavor. He couldn’t be completely sure, so he didn’t notify humans.” “It
seems like that, but little Lele is the best.” Milo recalled that the truffle-hunting dog had actually gone to dig him. Truffle place.
"That's right, if I wasn't great, I wouldn't dare to dig truffles by myself. If I can't dig truffles, I'll be laughed at by others." "
Haha, I like to see little Lele's confident look. Come on, let's dig truffles. Let Ah Medio is jealous of us."
"Let's go, hey, there is a job for you here." Le Yun took the hoe and walked to the lawn not far from the tree to dig a mark and make a mark. She then went to look for it as a shopkeeper. Next target.
Milo went to work happily, squatting on the ground and digging the soil.
Le Yun was responsible for finding the truffles in one area, and then she went to dig further away. She hid some of the truffles she found in the space and left some outside.
Two people were working hard to find truffles in the farm and ranch. There were no other truffle hunters digging for truffles. They had no pressure and were not afraid of others poaching the truffles if they were slow.
Alessandro and Roberto walked around with the dogs and returned to the castle for lunch at one o'clock in the afternoon, and then set off for the farm and ranch at three o'clock. Milo and the children were reluctant to eat at noon. Lose time and eat bread at the farm and pasture.
At the end of the day, 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 making more bread, hoping to get rid of the problem.
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 continued to give Amedeo acupuncture in the evening, and also did not let go of old Ferrari and Roberto, catching the two old gentlemen doing 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 less than 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.
Little classmate Le Xiao 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 stillness of the night to go back to space and plant truffles in the medicinal field. Every time she saw the little fox gang harvesting big truffles. The big bumps on my body made my whole body float.
One day and one night in the truffle planting field, the truffles weigh five or six kilograms and look like golden clouds. Just looking at them makes people happy.
Tests show that the largest one only weighs five or six kilograms. If it must be kept 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 best time to harvest truffles is when they grow to about five pounds, are large enough, contain stable nutrients and have the best vitality.
Dig truffles from the outside and plant them in medicinal fields to cultivate them. This way, you can have enough raw materials to make delicious food and make pills to improve human immunity.
Leyun was in a great mood, and she slept very soundly. After a good sleep, she was full of energy to dig truffles.
However, the weather was not good, and by Saturday, the first weekend in November, God probably thought that Mr. Le was too greedy, and it started to rain.
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 to squeeze the juice, crushed a few truffles and mixed them, then kneaded the dough and bread. After it is ready, let it cool for half an hour, then crush a few truffles and grind them into a paste, add it to the dough and knead it, and then follow the normal steps of making bread.
When the oriental girl baked the bread, which was baked three times in a row, and the aroma filled the castle, Roberto and others invited the homeowner and his wife to have morning tea in the living room.
Mr. and Mrs. Rossi had tasted the delicious truffle bread made by the oriental girl, and each mouthful was a "little sweetheart". They shouted that they also went to dig truffles and asked the little sweetheart to help make bread.
It rained intermittently until noon, and stopped in the afternoon. The ground was wet and it was not suitable to dig truffles. It was destined to be a day of rest.
Roberto and others rested while Le classmate went to the kitchen to make truffle bread. He baked a lot of fragrant bread and packed it in bags to store as dry food. He gave a dozen truffle bread to Mr. and Mrs. Rossi, and also gave two to them. Facts have proved that the delicacies not only win over the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Rossi, but also the dogs, who act coquettishly and cutely behind the little Oriental guests, and are intimate with each other.
The young man of the Ferrari family was hit hard, but what was even more shocking was what happened 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. For this, the old Rossi couple staggered with laughter. , I couldn’t close my mouth 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. The dogs also worked extra hard in exchange for the bread. The harvest was obviously more than the previous day, and the young and old of the Ferrari family were surprised. Even Mr. and Mrs. Luo Xi were 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, looking for truffles, and then returned to the castle at 6:30.
Milo Leyun also finished work early and went back to the landlord with the old gentlemen. After everyone cleaned up, they drove to the most famous hotel in the town for dinner.
Mr. Ferrari had 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 full of guests. That night there was a truffle auction held every weekend in November. The first truffle auction in November this year began. Moreover, the auction was in conjunction with the Albanian truffle auction held in the Piedmont region of Italy. The Pakistan International White Truffle Festival is online, and many reporters are holding cameras to grab news materials. Tourists who come here 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 o'clock in the evening, a few minutes before the auction started, the home court and branch venues were connected to the Internet, and one of the branch venues was on the Australian island of China.
The auctioned truffles 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, and several others weighed more than 500 grams. The truffles weigh more than 700 grams. Except for the big ones, the rest are small pieces. They are packaged and sold in portions, ranging from 2 to 3 hundred grams or 5 to 6 hundred grams.
The auction started, and the scene was very lively, with bids coming and going.
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 going to buy from anyone else. The cute little beauty dug the truffles. I got a lot of truffles. If necessary, find a little loli to spread them out, so that the rich water does not go to outsiders.
While watching the networking venue, the Xuan family young man saw Miss Le and quickly told the young master. Xuan Master quickly changed his eyes and really found the little Lolita in the first branch venue of Yiguo. The little beauty was sitting with a group of foreigners. , that smile is 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. She was leisurely eating and drinking when she needed to, as if she was staying out of it. A calm and gentle look.
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. Old Ferrari spent a lot of money boldly and bought all the heaviest truffles. The heaviest truffle on site in Tuscany Town weighed more than 800 Two pieces worth more than 500-700 grams are at the Alba venue and will soon be packed and sent to a place in Florence he designated.
There was a local mogul 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 mogul had snatched away the heaviest shares, the rest of the people had a chance to bid, and the remaining shares were also auctioned separately. into the hands of other gourmets.
With gourmets in attendance, the auction went very smoothly in the first week of November.
At the hotel in the town of Tucasna, after the auction, the auctioneer packed the truffles and handed them over to the buyer. The young men from the Ferrari family went to pay. They paid in cash, with lots of euros, which was definitely impactful.
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. The ones you bid for will be brought back to the family and handed over to your chef to make delicious food." Le Yun had a black line on her head. Oh my god, she spent the money spent at the auction and asked the truffle hunters. If you buy truffles in hand, 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 to 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 the little Oriental girl.
"Thank you." Someone forced a gift, and Le Yun didn't even have 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 for 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. Then three young people, two elderly and one young, lay down in a row waiting to get the injection.
Milo was still admiring acupuncture by the Godfather and Ferrari and 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 Milo hadn't known the little Oriental girl, they would have It is also impossible to know the little girl. She will suffer from health problems for a long time, and she will not be in a good mood now.
After just one acupuncture, Alessandro and Roberto felt lighter and full of energy after a night's sleep. Both the quality of sleep and the coordination ability of the body were better than in previous years, and they were slowly returning to their peak period. The two old friends were also very happy, and they often exchanged 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. His skin is getting better and his appetite is good every day. I have never had nausea or vomiting, nor bloating or abdominal 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 friends.
The new week is here, and Milo maintains a strong spirit and accompanies the children to sweep the farm and ranch. They have already swept one of the host's ranches and moved it to the second ranch. The ranch they have swept is again. Opening up truffle digging to others, the harvest will basically not be too big. What you can dig are small truffles that have not grown up before but will grow later.
Mr. Xuan had fun 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, after Mr. Ferrari and his old friend Roberto accompanied the Oriental doctor to dig truffles for a few days, he left first. , I plan to go to Florence and Rome to visit some old friends, make use of my personal connections, and open up some joints for the young doctor to apply for a visa in a certain country.
Mr. Ferrari only brought two personal bodyguards with him, and the others stayed to take care of Amedeo. After the little oriental girl finished digging for truffles, Amedeo and others would go home.
