Galactic Garbage Station

Chapter 420: Diamonds on the table

Views:

Su Jing grabbed a relatively small one, estimated to be close to two kilograms. The surface was covered with dirt. It didn't look like dust covering it, but like it was dug out of the soil and not washed clean. I grabbed it with my hands and found that the surface was rough and the texture was hard.

Su Jing took out a piece of cloth and patted away the dust. The light brown color and fine texture became more obvious. When I got closer and smelled it, there was a smell that was a bit like garlic, but not exactly the same. It smelled even more fragrant and whetted my appetite.

"What on earth is this? Why does it smell so good?" Su Jing didn't know why. She had never seen anything like this before. This thing was packed in such a shabby sack and was even thrown away. It is probably not a treasure in the time and space of "Tomb of Gods".

At this moment, the parrots flew in. Su Jing stepped out of the garbage station and heard two parrots shouting: "A guest is coming, a guest is coming, Manager Li and Wei Xiaoxuan, they said they have something to report to you."

Su Jing knew the intention of Manager Li and Wei Xiaoxuan, so she prepared to receive them. She lowered her head and looked at the "mud ball" in her hand, thoughtfully. Finally, I took the "mud ball" with me and walked out of the first floor.

Opening the courtyard door, I saw a truck parked at the door. Standing were Wei Xiaoxuan in OL clothes and a middle-aged man in a suit. This middle-aged man was the restaurant "Juxiang Pavilion" given to Su Jing by the Wang family. Manager Li.

"Hello, boss." Manager Li said politely. In the past, the Wang family paid wages and the Wang family was the boss, but now the restaurant belongs to Su Jing. Su Jing pays wages, so naturally he should be called Boss Su Jing.

"Mr. Li, please come in." Su Jing also said politely, inviting Manager Li and Wei Xiaoxuan to sit upstairs.

Before walking through the yard, Manager Li began to report: "Boss, according to what you said, the plaque has been prepared and publicized. The plaque will be replaced tomorrow and the Juxiang Pavilion will be changed to 'Sky Grass Carp'. "

In fact, the Wang family gave the restaurant to Su Jing and did not ask Su Jing to change its name. However, Su Jing did not want to use that name anymore. If it became popular, it would be like giving the Wang family Juxiang Pavilion a sign. Su Jing wanted to create her own brand. She initially thought about finding a nice name, but then she decided to just use the already famous "Sky Grass Carp". She would not often cook in restaurants in the future, so Sky Grass Carp will definitely be a signature dish, and the best effect is to use it directly as a sign. It can even open a chain store in the future and build Sky Grass Carp into a big brand.

"Boss, Sky Grass Carp has successfully applied for a brand patent. Here are the promotional details for tomorrow." Wei Xiaoxuan handed a piece of information to Su Jing.

"Very good." Su Jing nodded, read the information roughly, and said, "That's right, I'll leave the promotion to you tomorrow. Just wait a moment. The three treasures I mentioned will be ready soon. Okay, you take it to the restaurant. By the way, Manager Li, do you recognize this thing?"

Su Jing said, handing out the "mud ball" in her hand. This thing smelled so fragrant that it whetted people's appetite, so Su Jing thought, could this be some kind of food? Manager Li, who is extremely experienced in running restaurants, may recognize him.

"Let me take a look." Manager Li glanced at the "mud ball". He was stunned at first, then showed a look of disbelief. He got closer and smelled it carefully, and exclaimed, "Is this a white truffle? How could it be like this?" A bigger piece?"

"White truffle, what is it?" Su Jing asked doubtfully.

"A kind of wild plant fungus, used as food seasoning, but... the ordinary white truffle fungus doesn't seem to be so fragrant, and this one is too big. Where did you get it, boss? Why don't you get this white truffle fungus?" It's more than enough to use as a store treasure when you go to a restaurant." Manager Li looked around the white truffles, his face full of shock, excitement, and some disbelief.

"Is this big? Are you using it as a store treasure?" Su Jing smiled and took the smallest one. The others in the sack were bigger than this one. The largest one was estimated to be several times as big as this one. Maybe Close to five kilograms. Wei Xiaoxuan also stared at the white truffle roll curiously, but it looked as ugly as a ball of mud. What's so surprising? However, it does smell very good.

"Boss, you don't know how rare this thing is. Generally, it's only as big as a golf ball, and an apple is pretty big, but you can only hold it with two hands." Manager Li was speechless at Su Jing's words. If these words were heard by some white truffle lovers, they would probably give them murderous looks. Manager Li couldn't help but give Su Jing and Wei Xiaoxuan some popular science advice,

"Truffles are very picky about their growth environment. They cannot grow as long as there is a slight change in sunlight, water or soil pH. People have not yet successfully figured out how to cultivate truffles artificially. They can only dig them in nature, so they are very rare. White truffle is the king of truffles, it is even rarer and is called white diamond, the diamond on the dining table. In a good year, the world's production is only three tons."

“Moreover, the bigger the pieces, the rarer they are. In 2008, at the charity auction of Italian white truffles connected by satellite in Macau, London, Rome and Abu Dhabi, Mr. Ho, CEO of Macau Gaming Co., Ltd., sold 20 The largest white truffle sold for US$10,000. The white truffle weighed 1.08 kilograms and was the truffle king that year. The largest white truffle in the world was discovered in 1954, weighing 2.5 kilograms, and the record has been maintained until Now."

Su Jing and Wei Xiaoxuan both opened their mouths in surprise. So, the nearly two kilograms of white truffles in their hands, although not as good as those king truffles, might be worth more than 100,000? Such an inconspicuous piece of "mud" is so precious. No wonder Manager Li said that this piece of white truffle fungus can be used as a treasure of the store.

"This white truffle mushroom is also very good as a seasoning, right?" Su Jing asked.

"Of course, the white truffle itself doesn't taste like much, but as a condiment, it is indeed a masterpiece. The taste and smell are described as unique in the world. It is difficult to describe in writing. You will know it after eating it. It is more like a spice, ground with a professional knife Very thin slices, shaved and eaten right now. Just sprinkle some crumbs on ordinary dishes every time, and it will have a dramatic and earth-shaking effect." Manager Li said, and quickly added, "However, But don’t use this piece. If this piece is cut with a knife, its value will be greatly devalued. Can you use it as a treasure in a restaurant?"

"Okay, I'll choose another one." Su Jing looked at the white truffles on her hand and thought for a while before saying.

"Why choose another one? If you change to a smaller one, it won't have the effect of strengthening the store." Manager Li said, thinking that Su Jing was reluctant to take out this piece. But no wonder Su Jing, he might not be willing to take it out.

"No, this piece is too small and not sensational enough." Su Jing said. Manager Li was stunned for a moment, then petrified on the spot. He couldn't believe his ears. Such a big piece of white truffle is actually too small. Does that mean Su Jing has a bigger one on her hands
