This time, the search for truffles in the mountains is more targeted. Some places with large oak trees, places close to the roots, places facing the sun, and places with more sand. Such places are more suitable for truffle growth.

Yushan has targeted the place where this kind of suitable truffle growth is suitable, and has investigated the past step by step.

Yu Shan was looking for it and paying attention to the traces on the ground. Since some pigs noticed the black truffle underground, they would definitely be patronized by them in other places as long as there were truffles. Animals were looking for things more than humans at any time. Yu Shan only found truffles now, and those pigs didn’t know how long they had eaten!

Therefore, as long as there are truffles, there will definitely be traces of being arched by pigs, and at least there will be traces of being passed by pigs.

"Is this the white truffle?" According to various signs, after turning over a small hole with a half open, Yushan easily discovered a white fungus.

"This thing looks like a gray bag. Just cut it open and look at it."

Yushan dug out something the size of a potato. Although it looks like white truffles, there is a local fungus, which is also spherical and white. However, after being cut, it is gray inside. If it is mature, the things inside will be like gray at the bottom of the pot, so it is called a gray bag.

Holding it in your hand, Yushan felt that it was white truffle, not gray bag, because this thing was very strong and compact, and it felt very heavy in the hand, not as soft as mushrooms.

If you carefully identify its smell, Yushan immediately smiles. This very unique and indescribable taste is the primary criterion for distinguishing the quality of truffles.

If he had discovered the black truffle, Yu Shan would definitely not know what this unique taste was, but now he is very familiar with the complex taste of the truffle.

Those who like it describe it as the smell of musk and garlic, those who reject it describe it as the smell of old flyers and gasoline, and even more so, they describe it as the smell of semen, which is probably the reason why it fascinates Europeans.

Holding it in your hand, the white truffle looks like a dull, dusty potato, but once cut it, it reveals its marble-like patterns, ivory patterns and its intoxicating fragrance.

"It smells so good!" Yu Shan immediately smelled the fragrance. It must be white truffle.

Now Yu Shan also knows that the reason why white truffles are precious mainly comes from their aroma, so they are generally not heated.

The most common way to eat it is to cut it into very thin slices, serve it with fresh egg noodles and then serve it with the prepared Italian juice. This deliciousness is still conceivable.

White truffle is often called white diamonds. One of the reasons is that it looks ordinary and even ugly before carving and processing. After cutting, the beautiful patterns and strange fragrance are very attractive.

After discovering white truffles, Yushan felt relaxed, which shows that not only black truffles are produced in the valley, but also white truffles, and the price of white truffles is much higher than that of black truffles.

Truffles are rare and expensive, so the black truffle produced in France is called "black diamonds", and the white truffle produced in Italy is called "white gold".

A kilogram of white truffle produced in Alba, Italy was once priced at $35,000, and the other was a black truffle produced in Perigo, France, which costs at least $500.

The price of white truffles fluctuates every year, but usually ranges between 2,000 and 3,000 euros per kilogram.

In a good year, the world's production of white truffles is only 3 tons. Compared with the annual output of black truffles, you can imagine how precious it is.

Using spiritual sense to scan the underground, just find the right place, Yushan found a lot of black truffles and white truffles in just a while.

At this time, Yushan discovered that the color of black truffle is between dark brown and black, with a rugged appearance. The white truffle is slightly golden in color, and has tan or milky white patches or fine textures.

The black truffle was not cut in the mountain, but he had eaten it, so he knew the taste, and the white truffle in his hand always exuded a magical smell.

This smell is between garlic, milk and fruit flavors, and Yushan knows even more that the best white truffle tastes between garlic and the best Parmesan cheese.

Parmesan cheese is an Italian famous product. It is an Italian hard cheese. It has been cooked and dried for many years. It is light yellow in color and has a strong fruit flavor. Generally, there are powdered Parmesan cheese in boxed or tin cans for sale in supermarkets.

Looking at the black and white truffles with a few kilograms in his hand, Yu Shan was a little confused. Is there too many truffles here?

Especially the white truffle. In just a while, Yu Shan found more than five or six pounds, which was more than black truffle. The amount was so large, not as rare as the ones rumored outside!

Yu Shan knew that truffles were very picky about the growth environment. Truffles first grew in woodland in Italy, grew under the soil near the roots of oak trees, and were an annual natural fungal plant.

It is very picky about the growth environment and cannot grow as long as the sunlight, water volume or the pH value of the soil changes slightly, and its rarity can be seen.

From November to February of the following year, this truffle with a strong and unique fragrance will be produced and launched on a small amount of land in France and Italy, and the price is as expensive as gold, making chefs from high-end hotels around the world look forward to it...

White truffles are even harder to find and only grow from mid-October to the end of December every year.

Truffle is the only delicious delicacy in the world that cannot be completely artificially cultivated. Moreover, truffles grow under one tree, while another tree that looks exactly the same can't be. People still don't know the reason.

Not replicating may be another reason why truffles are expensive!

Of course, it is not easy to collect truffles and is exaggerated. Some legend says that every truffle hunter has a treasure map passed down from the family, recording the place, time and size of the truffle that the parents found.

The process of finding truffles is very interesting, and hunters from different countries use different methods. In France, people are used to using sows as their right-hand assistants for harvesting black truffles.

In Italy, people prefer to use trained female hunting dogs to find white truffles, which undoubtedly adds to the value of the truffles.

Yu Shan's spiritual consciousness is equivalent to perspective. When he finds truffles, it is equivalent to installing a pair of perspective eyes. As long as he walks to the right position, scan it casually, dig it out if there is, and continue searching if there is no.

Such efficiency cannot be compared with hunting dogs and pigs, so soon Yu Shan found a lot of them. In the end, he was not even interested in some small truffles, so the truffles he collected in the end were all the size of fists.

After finding a lot of truffles, Yu Shan was no longer lonely. He took a few photos of the big white truffles and posted them on his Moments again.

However, no one paid attention to him this time, which hurt Yu Shan. He usually had night owls, so why is there no one online now that it is only eight o'clock?

I was originally trying to show off, but now my enthusiasm is being hit.

"This is the white truffle known as white gold? It is priceless in Italy. I wonder what the price will be for me."

This time Yu Shan made a ruthless move and searched for a famous food forum online and posted the pictures directly into the forum.

It was so lively here. After he posted the post, someone immediately recovered.

"Is this white truffle?" A food expert immediately recovered.

"It's definitely white truffles, it looks fresh, produced in China?"

"It is also possible that this brother is abroad. If it is Italy, this white truffle will be valuable."

"It's just a white truffle, how valuable can it be?"

"You don't understand this. This thing is like bluefin tuna. It depends on the quality and size. It depends on the quality and size. It is big and can be sold. There was once a piece of white truffle sold for HK$420,000. It was sent to a restaurant in London for a week after the auction. The restaurant chef carefully locked the truffle that was expensive than gold. When he came back three days after the holiday, he found that the white truffle had become moldy."

"I know this, and in the end, the chef had to transport it back to Italy to bury it for respect, which shows the status of truffles in the minds of Europeans."

"Also, in 2006, at an international charity auction held in Italy, after a fierce round of bidding, a mysterious woman from Hong Kong finally won an extremely rare and heavy-grabbing white truffle, the world's largest white truffle, after a sky-high price of more than 950,000 yuan, and became the most expensive white truffle in history."

"You said that it was a charity auction and could not be used as a certificate. If the big truffle, the largest white truffle in history, was found in 1951, weighing about 4 pounds, and was sold at about $5,000 at the time. In the era when the Second World War ended, the preciousness of $5,000 can be imagined."

"Four pounds are only three pounds, six or seven pounds, right?"

"Yes! How big is this white truffle? Where is the origin?"

"I don't know what the interior looks like, I really want to see it."

"It's mainly taste, right?"

Yu Shan saw it for a short time and his post became popular. Some people kept replying, some asked questions, and some answered.

This food forum is really well-known. There are quite a lot of foodies hidden in it, and they all know the goods.

As a result, Yu Shan took a few more photos and posted them in the post.

"This is what it looks like after cutting it? Golden yellow? Not a picture of p? Light golden color is considered a top-notch white truffle."

"P, the identification has been completed."

"It's unlikely, there are no traces of fraud, the picture should be true."

"If it is true, then it must be produced in Italy, and the rich man is looking for support."

"Ah! How much is this pile of white truffles worth?"

"Why are these ones worth about ten kilograms? At the lowest price, it costs one thousand US dollars per kilogram. This is more than ten thousand US dollars and more than sixty thousand RMB. It turns out that he is a real rich man, holding his thighs."
Chapter completed!
