Chapter 864 Cooperation in digging truffles (1 more)

Before the soldiers and horses arrived, food and grass went first. Alejandro first arranged for three cooks, and three people responsible for purchasing and liaison to arrive at the accommodation to ensure smooth logistics, so they rushed to the castle without any worries.

When the car of Roberto and his party drove outside the castle, members of the Ferrari family were already waiting in front of the castle, and at the same time the owner of the castle was also waiting outside.

The owner of the castle is an old couple in their 60s. Their surname is Rossi. They are very cheerful and optimistic. There are several children in their family. Only one couple likes to run their own farm and ranch. The other children pursue their favorite careers, because The farms and pastures are very wide. They rent out part to others and operate the part themselves.

The son and husband of the host and his wife are in charge of the work of picking grapes. The old couple welcomes the guests and shakes hands with the guests. When the little oriental girl is greeted, the hostess is elated by the girl's "Grandma Rossi", with a fat body You are about to fly, and you must take the children and guests to have afternoon tea.

The hospitality is hard to come by, and everyone went to the castle hall where the host lived to have afternoon tea and taste wine. After that, the host personally accompanied the guests to see the guest room. The castle is very wide, and the guest room is on the second floor. All are lent to guests for free.

Roberto, Miro, and Le students each occupy a guest room, Ferrari and his son share one room, and the other three share one room. The chef and old housekeeper Enzo live in one room; Roberto and Ferrari's father share the same room. Next door, Le Xiao's room is next to Roberto, Miro's room is next to Le's, and the rooms of Ferrari's bodyguards are naturally next to the master and the young master.

The guest room is about ten square meters, clean and tidy, everything is neatly placed, the bed is wide enough to sleep three people.

It was still early, and Le Yun packed her luggage and went downstairs and dragged handsome Mi Luo to see the scenery outside the castle. In fact, she was scouting which direction had the strongest fragrance and where there were more truffles.

The little boy was very active, and Milo was very willing to risk his life to accompany the gentleman, walking along the road outside the castle with the little guy, walking here and there until it was dark for more than seven days before returning.

At dinner time, Mr. Ferrari invited the old Rossi and his wife to dine together. The younger Rossi and his wife dined with the workers in the winery and did not return to the castle.

The old couple of Rossi happily accepted the invitation, and they had a very congenial talk with the guests. Miro and Le asked about the ownership of the various farms and pastures that they wrote down when they went to see the scenery. There are two farming and pastoral areas that belong to Rossi. The house is run by itself, two of them are rented out, and a few belong to other people's houses.

Miro expressed that he wanted to dig truffles in a certain farming and pastoral area, and asked the old couple to contact the owner for help. The old couple happily agreed to help. After dinner, they called the farmer and rancher. They had a good conversation and made an appointment to send two guests tomorrow morning Go digging for truffles in someone's farm area.

On the same day as when classmate Le went to dig truffles excitedly, Bastian, John, Michael, Philip, Thranduil, and Earl Ryan set off from Country F and arrived in Florence in the afternoon. , went to different places to stay, and in the evening, the Earl of Ares, who returned to his family to look for treasures, also arrived.

Several earls waited until midnight and turned into bats to go out and meet at the predetermined place, but no one found the girl, which meant that she should have gone to the place where the truffles were dug.

The earls went back to their respective hotels, and when it was dawn, the people in Florence went to rent a car immediately after going to work, and drove to Tuscany.

The country has a Mediterranean climate, with rainy, cold and humid winters. It is the last day of October, which is also the eve of Halloween every year in Europe.

When many people were preparing for Halloween, Le Yun and Milo had breakfast, each brought a special hoe for digging truffles, and carried a bag, and went with Grandma Rossi to find the owner of another farm.

Grandma Rossi drove the two lovely children to the gate of a certain farm and ranch they said. The owner of the farm was already waiting at the gate to communicate with the grandma for a while, because Mrs. Rossi was the guarantee, and they did not require two people to deposit their documents. First collect [-] US dollars in advance, give the permit, and let the two of them enter the farm and ranch.

Every truffle digging season, farmers and ranchers will hire guards to prevent others from stealing into the farms and pastures to dig truffles. The watchmen will patrol and sometimes check the pass issued by the farm. Those who do not have a pass will break into the farm and ranch to steal truffles. , caught and fined.

Grandma Rossi sent the two children back to the castle, and then took out a pine dog with her wife and sent a group of men to their farm and ranch. She taught the dogs how to look for truffles before handing over the dogs To Mr. Ferrari, let them bring the dog to find truffles.

When Roberto and Alessandro led the dog and accompanied the wheelchair-bound Amedeo to search for truffles, Le Yun and handsome Miro ran to a place far away from the gate of the ranch to start their truffle search.

Some trees in farms and pastures are planted to provide a place for truffles to grow. They are arranged in rows and regularly, with wide gaps between the rows of trees, and the surface is grass.

Miro was a hard laborer, he followed the kid, the little guy sniffed for a while, ran to a place and picked up a pointed hoe to dig two hoes, and made a mark: "Milo, dig down, this is for you, Dig a lot of truffles, and I'll make your favorite dumplings and biscuits."

"Mine, can you make it at my house?" Milo's eyes sparkled.

"No problem, it's agreed. If you dig five, you can only get one for yourself. If there are more, you won't give it."

"Okay, I know, just go ahead and look for it, I'm starting work." Milo put on gauze gloves, swung a hoe and began to work as a digger.

There were coolies to help with the work, and Le Yun let go of her short legs and ran again. After running more than ten meters, she dug two hoes to mark the scented place, told Miro the direction, and ran again by herself. The lower body digs underground by herself. She was born in farm work and has a sensitive nose. When breaking through the soil, she can judge whether she has dug truffles by the smell, so don't worry about it and dig hard.

Digging down about [-] centimeters, I found a corner of the truffle that looked like a potato. The white truffle is undoubtedly a very strange fungus. It does not need photosynthesis when buried in the soil. Its color and skin are like potatoes, with many protrusions. Head, like a lump.

Seeing a pimple head, I pried the soil around it, and quickly pried out a big pimple, which was bigger than a rice bowl for eating. It was very light, and it felt a little heavy because it was still wrapped in soil.

Le Yun didn't even look carefully. Taking advantage of no one throwing space around, he backfilled the soil, picked up the hoe, and ran to another place a few meters away to dig a hole with the hoe. When he dug to a depth of more than ten centimeters, he found an adult man with a big fist The pimples were thrown back into the space, and the place was changed after backfilling.

Milo was afraid of digging up the truffle that the children found with great difficulty, so he dug more than a dozen centimeters deep and changed to digging slowly, digging for a while, until about [-] centimeters to find it, carefully prying the soil, and made a For the big pit, dig out the truffle, a piece as big as a duck egg, remove some soil, put it in a self-sealing bag and put it back in the backpack, without carefully backfilling it all, roughly return the soil to the big pit.

Backfill the soil a little bit, then ran to find the place where Xiao Lele made a mark, and dug a hole hard, digging to a depth of more than [-] centimeters to dig out a small bump the size of an egg.

Xiao Lele's nose is too sharp, and the two places failed. Milo happily ran to find the child with the results of the battle, and found her. She was digging hard and pried out the small lump on her index finger. She didn't say anything. Say, bury it in the bottom of the soil, backfill the soil, bury the hole well, and restore the dug turf by the way.

"Little Lele, you finally dug it out, why did you put it back?" Milo was very surprised, the truffle was a bit small, but it was still a truffle anyway, why did the kid plant it back again.

"It hasn't grown up yet. It's a pity that such a small one was dug up. It's replanted to let it continue to grow."

"Others will dig it up if they find it."

"I'm reluctant to take away such a small inoculum. I haven't seen anyone find it and dig it up. I don't feel bad." Le Yun patted the soil in her hands and asked how big the truffle dug by Handsome Mi Luo was.

Milo took out the two truffles he had dug, and the kid grinned happily, and took out a pimple the size of an egg from his backpack, his eyes curved in a happy smile: "Milo, we have harvested, very lucky , work hard for our bread!"

"Come on for the bread!" Milo clenched his fists cheerfully.

Putting away the truffles, the two went to work excitedly. Le classmate was responsible for the search. When he found it, he asked Miro to dig it first, then made a mark when he found it, and then went to find it by himself. hands on.

There was dew in the farm and pasture in the morning, and the humidity was very high. The two of them were wearing moisture-proof and moisture-proof mountaineering clothes. They were not afraid of getting wet. Until around nine o'clock in the morning, the gray sky was cloudy and foggy, and there were signs of clearing.

Around nine o'clock, the ground is drier, and truffle diggers also flock to the forest and reserved farms and pastures to look for truffles.

The ranch where Miro and his children were digging truffles also poured in with seven or eight pine-hunting experiencers, leading a pine-hunting dog, and one leading a pig, looking for truffles all over the farm, occasionally with Miro or an oriental girl I was very surprised to see that they did not have a pine hunting dog or a truffle hunting pig. Fortunately, they were relieved when they saw that the bags they were carrying only contained three or two truffles.

Miro was even more surprised. He found that sometimes the children were not digging truffles, but she was digging grass roots. She didn't know what kind of grass roots they were, and she collected them as precious as truffles.

The little guy knows plants and has different hobbies. Milo struggled for a long time, so he simply pretended that he didn't see what she was doing. He worked hard, trying to finish the work in a short time, and then asked the kid to find truffles, lest she go digging grass roots .

The two friends, one big and one small, try to avoid other people and drill into places where there are few people. One is responsible for finding truffles by taste, and the other is digging happily, carrying out sweeping work happily. They eat their own bread, ham, and drink milk at noon. Or mineral water, rest for an hour, and look for truffles very excitedly.
