I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 94 Let the world fall in love with fungi ( rewards will be added)
  Liujiazhai, Liu Fei is teaching the villagers in Liujiazhai to grow truffles.

Truffles are the rewards Liu Fei received after completing his first system main task and leading the Liujiazhai villagers to achieve an annual per capita income of over 5 yuan.

Truffles, like matsutake mushrooms, are rare and valuable ingredients.

It is more expensive than matsutake, and together with foie gras and caviar, it is known as the world's three major delicacies!
  There are two main types of truffles, white truffles and black truffles.

Among them, the white truffles from the Apennine Peninsula and the black truffles from Provence and Sarlat are the most famous, and the prices are also very expensive.

The price of white truffles can be as high as tens of thousands of dollars per catty, and the price of black truffles can be as high as thousands of dollars per catty, and these are still average-sized. Truffles, like matsutake, are graded.

Generally speaking, the larger the truffles are, the more valuable they are and the more expensive they are. Truffles weighing more than 300 grams are often priced but not marketable. They are usually put up for sale at auctions, and the price can reach hundreds of thousands, or even In millions.

With such an expensive price and similar cultivation to matsutake, Liu Fei had no reason to let the money go.

"This truffle, like matsutake, has a symbiotic relationship with pine, oak and other trees, and relies on sucking pine sugar from the roots of pine trees to grow!"

"We have mastered the technology of growing matsutake, and it will be relatively easy to grow truffles again. Even the nutrient solution can be the pine sugar nutrient solution of matsutake."

"But one thing that is different from matsutake is that it grows in the soil, usually 3-30 centimeters underground."

"So the soil's pH, dry humidity, and air permeability have a great impact on its growth. The soil's pH and a certain dry humidity must be maintained."

"If the humidity is too high, the truffles will rot. If it's too dry, the truffles will grow very slowly, which is not conducive to the absorption of nutrients."

"Truffles must grow in an environment with alkaline lime soil, loose soil, and drainage and ventilation. Drainage and ventilation must be highly valued."

Liu Fei was surrounded by many young people from Liujiazhai.

They are now the backbone and main force of Liujiazhai. Every two young people are responsible for the planting and maintenance of a greenhouse. At the same time, they also need to learn the seed technology of other fungi. Now they are also learning to grow truffles from Liu Fei.

Everyone listened attentively and took notes with paper and pen in detail.

That is to say, Liu Jiazhai is one of his own, so Liu Fei will teach everyone in such detail and earnestly.

Liu Fei would not teach people in other towns and villages so seriously. He would teach them all in a large classroom. You can learn as much as you can. He would not teach you how to grow fungi step by step. He would not just teach you by himself. Go read a book and explore for yourself.

"Okay, let's all get busy."

After Liu Fei finished speaking, he also motioned for everyone to go about their business.

Everyone in Liujiazhai is very busy now.

Sales of matsutake mushrooms are even greater this year.

Not only has the market size in Japan grown larger, various overseas markets are growing rapidly, and the domestic market is also growing very rapidly.

Japan has to ship at least 20 billion yuan every month. Other overseas markets add up to almost 20 billion yuan a month. The domestic market also has a monthly scale of more than 60 billion. Calculating, it needs to produce nearly billion matsutake every month to satisfy the market. needs.

Therefore, Liujiazhai started building large-scale greenhouses early, and built another 300 matsutake greenhouses at one time.

Everyone in Liujiazhai is busy. Everyone has become an employee of the village company, building greenhouses, growing matsutake, picking matsutake, packaging, etc., and they are busy all around.

Now we have to grow truffles again, and everyone is even busier.

Liu Fei carefully dug out a few truffles from the soil and looked at them carefully.

The growth cycle of truffles is longer than that of matsutake. Matsutake can be shipped once in about seven days, while truffles take half a month to be shipped.

The truffles grown in the truffle greenhouse in front of us have only been grown for about seven days. The truffles are not very big, only about the size of walnuts and weighing only a few dozen grams.

If these are wild truffles, they can actually be sold.

Even though it is small, only a few dozen grams, it is worth thousands of dollars.

Because the truffles in the greenhouse in front of you are white truffles, and the seeds are all white truffle seeds from Piedmont on the Apennine Peninsula.

These are the white truffles that Liu Fei bought at a high price. Then, like matsutake, he used the splitting cultivation technique to split these white truffles into very small pieces, and then used pine sugar nutrient solution for breeding, and finally cultivated a large number of them. seed.

Plant these seeds into the soil of the truffle greenhouse and regularly spray the pine sugar nutrient solution needed for truffle growth to grow truffles.

This technology can grow all varieties of truffles in the world, whether they are white truffles from Alba, black truffles from Provence, or various truffles from other places around the world, there is essentially no difference.

It’s just that the origin and output of white truffles are very rare. It is currently only found and produced in a few areas of the Apennine Peninsula and the Balkan Peninsula. Black truffles have many more origins and the output is much larger.

Therefore, the price of white truffles is much more expensive than that of black truffles, and they are known as "white diamonds".

Liu Fei observed carefully. The white truffle in his hand looked light brown in appearance, with a slight golden tint. He cut it open with a knife, revealing a milky white striped structure. When he smelled it carefully, it smelled almost like garlic.

"Ok!"

"It's perfect. It's exactly the same as the white truffles from Piedmont. There is no difference."

"The global production of white truffles is less than 3 tons a year, which is really too little."

"With artificial cultivation technology, the output of both white and black truffles can be greatly increased, and the price will definitely fall by then."

“It is still necessary to control the output within a suitable range and find the maximum cost-effectiveness.”

Liu Fei thought quickly.

Things like truffles are expensive mainly because the output is too small, and things are rare and expensive. Once they can be cultivated artificially and the output increases, the price will plummet. For Liu Jiazhai, it is definitely necessary to find a point with the best marginal effect.

If the output is too small, there will definitely not be much money to be made. No matter how expensive the quantity is, the total quantity will not be much.

But once, like matsutake, too many are planted, prices will fall too sharply, and production will increase without increasing income.

Only by finding the best marginal point that can both sell at a good price and have a good volume will it be most beneficial.

"Tens of thousands or thousands of dollars per pound is too expensive."

"It's similar to matsutake. If it sells for hundreds of pounds per pound, it should be the best."

"By then, Western restaurants all over the world can use the truffles produced in our Liujiazhai. The quantity will be huge, and it may sell better than matsutake."

Liu Fei thought quickly.

Western restaurants have always cut truffles into very small, thin slices and added them to pizza, desserts, barbecues, etc. The amount added is very small, just a little bit.

But as long as truffles are added, the price of this dish will double. There are even no truffles in ordinary restaurants. You have to go to high-end Western restaurants to find truffles.

In short, this thing is of high quality and very expensive.

The key is that everyone still does this.

Because this thing has always been marketed as a top-notch dish, it becomes a top-notch state banquet dish when cooked with wild mushrooms or something like that.

"Well, then the sales side can take action from this aspect."

"No Western restaurant can refuse truffles. If there is, it must be a fake Western restaurant!"

Thinking of this, Liu Fei smiled.

"At that time, you can also promote our mushrooms, truffles with top-grade rare mushrooms, black truffle wild mushroom soup or white truffle mushroom sauce. Who can resist the temptation of such top-notch delicacies?"

“The key is that the price is relatively affordable!”

"Hey, let the world fall in love with fungi!"

Liu Fei smiled proudly and even thought of a good slogan for Feiyun Company, which was to make the world fall in love with fungi.

"Liu Fei! Liu Fei!"

At this time, Fu Chunxiong and Zhou Xiaoyi came over with smiles on their faces.

"Good news, our customers in Korea have signed a mushroom sales agreement with us worth 20 billion per month and 240 billion per year!"

"Haha, we have to speed up and grow the fungi quickly, otherwise we won't be able to deliver to customers by then."

Fu Chunxiong smiled and reported the report.

"You came just in time."

"Look at what I have in my hands."

Liu Fei smiled and threw the white truffle in his hand to Fu Chunxiong and Zhou Xiaoyi.

"Truffles?"

“Or white truffle?”

"It's a good thing. It's very expensive. There are only a few Western restaurants here in the capital that serve white truffles."

"Is this the white truffle we grew ourselves?"

Fu Chunxiong took a closer look and immediately exclaimed.

"Cows, you can even grow truffles!"

"It's a joke, it's a joke. This thing is similar to matsutake. It's not difficult. I've researched it a long time ago. I was busy last year, so I didn't plant it."

"We came just in time to find a way to sell these truffles and our mushrooms to Western restaurants around the world."

"As far as I know, the West likes to stew truffles with wild mushrooms in soup and serve them at state banquets. I am very confident that our truffles and mushrooms can easily conquer their taste buds."

"By then, we won't be selling billions a month. Western restaurants all over the world will use our mushrooms, so the sales will be very large."

Thinking of this, Liu Fei became slightly excited.

“I came up with a new slogan, which is ‘Let the world fall in love with fungi’!”

"Make the world fall in love with fungi?"

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyi and Fu Chunxiong thought about it carefully and felt that this slogan was really good.

“That’s a good slogan!”

"I'm going to gather the sales team now to sell our fungi to the whole world and make the world fall in love with our fungi!"
