My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 160 Holding the golden rice bowl and begging for rice

Fang Xing walked over and took out a fungus the size of a fist from the bamboo basket behind her.

"Is there a lot of these things in the mountains?" He couldn't help asking.

The girl Sangsang was stunned: "What do you mean by this mushroom? I can't say a lot, but there are a lot. If you want to find it, I can find dozens of catties a day! If you like to eat it, I will give it to you."

She seemed very generous. After all, there are not many of this kind of mushrooms in the mountains, and not many people pick them. It has a smell, and not everyone likes it.

The village chief and the others also thought that Fang Xing liked to eat this kind of mushroom, so he immediately smiled and said, "Boss Fang, if you like it, I'll send someone into the mountains to pick some later."

Fang Xing held the mushroom and asked with a smile: "Sister! If I say that this mushroom is worth more than a hundred yuan outside, will you give it back to me?"

what?
Everyone present was surprised, this mushroom is worth more than [-] yuan?Even Mayor Tang was a little confused.

"What kind of mushroom is this?"

The village chief said: "Root mushrooms like to grow around the roots of trees."

"This is a truffle. The mayor must have heard of it. The price of truffles in our country is between 200 and 1500 yuan per catty. In foreign countries, it is even more expensive.

It seems that repairing this section of road is necessary.Otherwise, good things will not be sold.

You in Zhangmutou Village are begging for food with golden rice bowls.The mountain is a treasure house, and there are many mountain goods that are valuable, but you don't know it. "Fang Xing sighed.

Holding a golden rice bowl and begging for food?
Hearing this sentence, the village head and others were speechless.

But if it is true that this kind of mushroom is so valuable as Boss Fang said, then these years, they have been poor for no reason, and they have no eyes to see the treasure.

"This is the truffle?" Mayor Tang's expression became serious.

Truffles were expensive, of course he knew that.However, he had never seen what a truffle looked like, so he didn't know that there were a lot of wild truffles in Baima Town.

If you had known earlier, the town government would have developed and utilized it!

Truffles grow in the soil and are tuber fungi attached to the roots of pine trees. They contain a lot of water and trace mineral elements such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and fluorine.It is not soft and juicy like ordinary mushrooms, but has a firmer texture.

This stuff especially likes to grow under pine, oak, aspen, willow, hazel, and linden, and varies in color and smell depending on the species.

Its nutrients come from the attached tree roots and soil. If truffles grow in a place, the nutrients of the land and plants will be absorbed by the truffles, and nothing else can grow for a period of time.Truffles can't stand any slight environmental changes during the growth process. It's picky about the environment is really staggering.

In addition, it is one of the few delicacies in the world that cannot be artificially planted in an orderly manner. It must rely on the symbiotic relationship with the roots to obtain nutrients.As long as there is a slight change in the surrounding living environment, truffle spores will not be able to grow.

It is these factors that lead to the extremely high price of truffles.In the markets of big cities, it is normal for high-quality truffles to sell for thousands of yuan per catty.

The best quality truffles in the world are the white truffles from Alba, Italy, which once cost US$3.5 per kilogram; while the black truffles are from Pelligo, France, which cost at least US$50 per kilogram.

"Brother, is this mushroom really that valuable?" The girl Sangsang's eyes began to glow.

Fang Xing first answered the mayor's question: "Yes! Yes! This is a truffle, to be precise, a black truffle."

Then he said to Sangsang: "You can go to the mountains to pick more, and then send it to Yunwu Village to sell on the same day. I promise to sell it for more than two hundred yuan."

Now tourists in Yunwu Village like to eat some mountain products, as well as authentic rural products, which are not polluted and taste good.

These things, they are willing to spend more money to eat.

If you look at Xujia Restaurant, you will know that a pot of stewed chicken with mushrooms costs more than 100, and no tourists call it expensive.In their opinion, it is worth the price.

"Really? Then I'll go pick more." The little girl was excited.

Her family is also very poor, belonging to a family with no savings.Now there is no fee for studying in the nine-year compulsory education, but the family still can't afford food expenses for her to go to junior high school, so she has no choice but to drop out of school.

In fact, Sangsang really likes reading, and her grades are not bad.

"Well! Let's go! However, you must be careful when harvesting, don't waste everything, pay attention to sustainable development, and remember to save the seeds. Otherwise, it will be difficult to earn this money in the future." Fang Xing reminded them.

The mayor and village chief reacted immediately.

They feel that this matter should be organized by the village committee and mining should be done in a planned way, instead of rushing into the mountains to strip them off.As Fang Xing said, this is the wealth that Dashan bestowed on them, and it cannot be exhausted.

"Have a meeting with your village committee to discuss how to develop truffles reasonably," Mayor Tang said to the village chief.

The village head nodded, and said to Sangsang who wanted to go to the mountains to pick truffles again: "Sangsang, don't go for now, wait for the village committee to discuss a solution, everyone will participate."

"Oh!"

Sangsang seemed a little unhappy, thinking that before the other villagers could react, she wanted to make a fortune for her family first!

"Okay, the village committee rewarded you afterwards, don't be unhappy, go home first!" the village chief comforted.

After all, it was Sangsang's credit for discovering this treasure, and it was unreasonable not to give her any benefit.

Hearing that there was a reward, Sangsang was happy again, humming an unknown song, and trot home.

"Actually, there are many good things in the mountains that are valuable outside. Improving road traffic and transporting these good things out is the code for us to make a fortune in the mountains.

For those things in the mountains, the village can develop a collective management model, such as setting up a collection team and letting experienced women do it.

At the same time, some rules should also be formulated, such as what can be collected, etc., not blindly.

Men are responsible for transporting and selling, and then distribute the profits. "Fang Xing gave them advice.

"If you do this, someone will be lazy, right?" A village cadre couldn't help but say.

"It's not difficult to solve! Every time you distribute money, you select the most diligent people and reward them. Who would be lazy?" Fang Xing was not worried about this problem.

"Hmm! I think it works. Your village can consider this method." Mayor Tang also agreed.

In this way, blind exploitation by villagers can be avoided, and every household can be taken care of.

To be honest, if it weren't for the difficulty of artificial cultivation of truffles, he would have suggested that the villagers grow truffles.This is a very good economic crop!High profits.

As far as he knows, unlike common fungi such as mushrooms, truffle spores are not spread by wind, but by animals that eat truffles.

Therefore, its reproduction itself is not easy, and it is justifiable that it is expensive.

"Okay! Tonight our village cadres called everyone to have a meeting."
