Chapter 344 Black Truffle

Coyotes' counterattack is getting weaker and weaker

In the end, his neck was bitten off by Xiao Hei's iron teeth, and he fell to the ground and his limbs twitched. He died soon, and his soul returned to the underworld.

"Wow woof... woof woof..." After defeating the wild wolf, Dahei and Xiaohei rushed towards Zhang Feng excitedly, as if they wanted to claim credit for their master. Seeing that the two little things were about to jump on him, Zhang Feng quickly dodged sideways, otherwise he would His body must be covered with plum blossoms again.

"Stop stop stop!!"

"Okay, okay!! I know you are very good, so go back and reward you well!" The two dogs were like happy children, wanting to hang on him. Zhang Feng quickly grabbed their paws and stroked them. Looking at their heads, he smiled and comforted the two excited little ones.

"Woooo..."

"Wow woof... woof woof..." The two dogs were praised by their owners, and they happily ran and jumped on the ground, shaking their heads and tails, just like children celebrating the New Year.

Zhang Feng shook his head amusedly, and walked slowly towards the wild wolf. In everyone's imagination, the wild wolf should be like the one in the TV commercial, majestic, with shiny hair, with its bloody mouth open, and howling up to the sky.

It's a pity that Zhang Feng was very disappointed by the wolf in front of him. It looked inconspicuous at all, with messy and withered hair. Although it wasn't skinny, it couldn't be compared to being strong. It looked like it was malnourished.

Originally, Zhang Feng wanted to peel off the wolf's skin, but when he saw the bald spots on the wolf's back, Zhang Feng gave up instantly, and finally just dug a hole on the spot and buried the wolf in the forest.

"Dahei and Xiaohei are gone, let's go home!!" After burying the wild wolf, Zhang Feng waved to Dahei and Xiaohei.

"Wow woof... woof woof..." Hearing what his master said, Dahei Xiaohei hurriedly followed behind Zhang Feng and continued to run out of the mountain.

The rolling Qinglong Mountains, like a green dragon on the earth, straddles the land in the southwest of Guizhou Province. The virgin forest with a radius of hundreds of miles is full of mystery and awe.

Over the hills, through the sea of ​​green pine forests, you will arrive at the outskirts of the mountains, a piece of golden green hill forest. Suddenly, a gust of autumn wind blows, and the withered yellow flutters with the wind, just like beautiful yellow butterflies dancing in the air.
The good wind sends me into Qingyun by force.

The autumn wind suddenly blows, shuttling through the mountains and forests, like a burst of tornadoes, rolling the fallen leaves into the air, and they are extremely beautiful.

"Xiaofeng entered the mountain??" Seeing Zhang Feng coming out of the mountain, Uncle Er Niu who was on the mountain pass asked with a smile.

"Yes, what is Uncle Er Niu doing in the field?" Seeing Uncle Er Niu holding a sickle, Zhang Feng said with a smile.

"Hey, I'm born to be a hard worker. Why don't I get some pigweed?" Uncle Er Niu sighed. Since the family started to make wine on a large scale, there have been more distiller's grains in the house, and it is not easy to sell, so he had to buy it. Several piglets, internally digested.

Hearing Uncle Er Niu's explanation, Zhang Feng suddenly realized that it is a pity to throw away the distiller's grains from wine making. It's also good to raise a few pigs by himself. no.

"Crazy, what are you carrying?" After a while, Uncle Er Niu finally saw what Zhang Feng was holding.

"Hey, guess what this is?" Zhang Feng lifted the bag and asked back with a smile.

"You kid is still playing tricks on me! Show me quickly." Uncle Er Niu gave Zhang Feng a blank look, and grabbed the plastic bag.

"This?? What exactly is this? Why does it look like a taro?" Uncle Er Niu took out the truffle, squeezed it and smelled it, but he still didn't recognize it. He didn't know the black potato What is the thing.

"Hey, I don't know, this is the legendary truffle!" Seeing that Uncle Er Niu didn't recognize it, Zhang Feng was not at all surprised, and said with a smile.

"Truffles..."

"What? This is the truffle? The legendary black diamond??" Uncle Er Niu yelled out in surprise. He didn't expect that the inconspicuous, potato-like thing in his hand was actually the famous black truffle.You must know that black truffle is a world-renowned high-end ingredient, but I didn't expect the legendary truffle to be in my hands.

"No, I want to check it online!" Er Niu shook his head, still a little unbelievable, and quickly took out his mobile phone to check the information on black truffles online.

According to online information

The earliest records of black truffles date from 350 BC.

At that time, ancient Greek philosophers claimed that it was created by the god Jupiter on Mount Olympia who struck the soil with lightning.

Ancient Roman scholars believed that it can grow and develop without roots, stems, or leaves, which is a mystery in nature.It wasn't until the nineteenth century AD that scientists identified the black truffle as a rare underground fungus.

The black truffle grows in the native soil under the pine, oak and other trees in the old forests of deep mountains, and forms mycorrhiza in symbiosis with the roots of the trees. The maturity period is from November to February of the following year in winter every year.Truffles are very expensive and are compared to edible black diamonds in Europe.

Black truffles have been endowed with many mysteries since their discovery.Truffles grow underground, leaving no trace on the surface.Truffles ripen to release an odor that animals with a keen sense of smell can smell, and scientists today believe it is a natural sex hormone.

"I'll go, truffles actually have the effect of aphrodisiac!" Seeing this, Uncle Er Niu shook his head in surprise.

"Hey, isn't this all hype?" Zhang Feng shook his head. There are many such hypes in life, such as Maca from South America and Cistanche in the desert.

"That's true, but we don't have sows and trained dogs. How will we pick truffles then?" Uncle Er Niu frowned.

"It's okay, just train for two more days." Every household in the village has dogs, and they can be used barely after a few days of simple training, and they can be exercised after a long time.

In fact, humans have a long history of using black truffles.

As early as 2000 years ago, Europeans in the Mediterranean region had records of eating black truffles. People at that time believed that eating black truffles could increase vitality.By the [-]th century AD, black truffles began to appear in the lives of European high society.

The Pope of Rome first led the trend of eating black truffles, and then the royal families and nobles of France, Spain and other countries followed suit.For hundreds of years, eating black truffles has been extremely popular in Europe, especially among the nobles of France, Italy and Spain, and once became a status symbol.

To this day, black truffle, as the top three famous foods in Europe, still often appears in the list of luxury auctions before banquets in rich clubs.

With the rapid development of China's economy, the domestic demand for black truffles has also grown rapidly. Especially, high-end restaurants in big cities have launched truffle delicacies, which has gradually increased the domestic consumption of truffles.
