Xia Ruofei carefully used a shovel to dig up the soil next to the truffle, and finally dug out the white truffle with his bare hands.
After roughly cleaning up the soil on the surface of the truffle, Xia Ruofei weighed the truffle in his hand. It was about four to five hundred grams, and was about the size of a grapefruit.
A good start!
Xia Ruofei was very happy.
He knew that the heavier the truffle, the more precious it was. He had checked the information before. In 2015, a 900-gram white truffle was sold at an auction for 100,000 euros, which was equivalent to about 680,000 yuan.
This white truffle weighed about 500 grams, and according to the price of a similar white truffle sold at the auction, it was worth about 200,000 Huaxia dollars.
Moreover, this was under the condition that the quality was the same.
Xia Ruofei would never believe that the white truffles produced in her space would lose to the white truffles naturally grown in the outside world. It was already very good that they were not a few streets ahead of them.
This white truffle greatly boosted Xia Ruofei's confidence.
He thought for a moment, and then left the space with Lightning. He told Lightning to wait in the room, and then he went downstairs to the small storage room. After locking the door, he directly sent a few bags of rice into the space.
After returning to the bedroom upstairs, Xia Ruofei once again entered the space with Lightning.
He tore open the bags of rice, and separately poured a layer of rice into the two large boxes. Then he carefully brushed the soil off the two truffles, and put them into the two boxes, and buried them inside the rice.
The reason why Xia Ruofei did this was because the truffle had been exuding a strong fragrance. Although he knew that things in the space wouldn't go bad, but he didn't know if the fragrance would dissipate. Therefore, it was safer to store it inside the rice and seal it in the boxes.
After doing this, Xia Ruofei began to look for the next truffle with Lightning.
Although Lightning hadn't been trained, its sense of smell was far more sensitive than those truffle dogs. Moreover, it understood human nature, and could understand Xia Ruofei's instructions, so in fact, it was very efficient in finding truffles.
It was Xia Ruofei's efficiency that slowed down the progress.
Every time he dug, he had to be very careful. After digging out the truffles, he had to carefully clean the surface of the soil and put it in the container.
Therefore, every time Lightning found a place, she would lie down and rest. Xia Ruofei was always busy.
Xia Ruofei dug out truffles from the ground. There were black truffles and the more precious white truffles.
After they were cleaned, they were continuously put into the finishing box.
Soon, the two large boxes were filled. Xia Ruofei found another two boxes and poured in the rice.
After working for more than ten hours, Xia Ruofei finally dug out the last black truffle. He asked Lightning, and after confirming that there was no truffle left in the oak forest, he breathed a sigh of relief. This work not only tested one's physical strength, but also one's patience.
However, even though Xia Ruofei was exhausted and covered in mud, his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment as he looked at the four boxes of truffles.
The amount of black truffles and white truffles were basically the same.
The two large boxes were full, and the other two were more than half full. As for the specific harvest, he had to weigh it with a scale to know.
However, Xia Ruofei was able to roughly estimate it.
Among these truffles, there were seven or eight that were as big as the first white truffle that Lightning found. According to last year's auction price, these truffles were worth at least two million.
In addition, there were three large truffles, the largest of which was slightly bigger than a basketball. Weighing it, it weighed about four pounds. The other two also weighed about two pounds and three pounds.
If Xia Ruofei remembered correctly, the largest truffle was more than the world's largest white truffle from 2014. At that time, the white truffle was 16 pounds, or about 89 kilograms.
The truffle that Xia Ruofei dug out was absolutely a giant.
The value of such a truffle could no longer be measured by the market price. Especially if it participated in an auction, it was likely to be sold at a sky-high price.
The situation of the black truffle was similar, but the black truffle was generally smaller than the white truffle. The black truffle that Xia Ruofei found was nearly three pounds, which was also very rare.
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment in the space. He felt that this time there were a lot of truffles, so it was not appropriate to sell them all at once. Otherwise, the auction price would certainly not go up.
He even considered transplanting these oak trees into the new space.
This kind of truffle was only produced in a certain season of the year, and there was no way to preserve it for a long time. So, there was no point in producing more of it in the space.
Although the original space could ensure absolute freshness, but the truffle itself was a rare thing. If a large amount of it was released, it was bound to cause turbulence in the market, and the final price would plummet. That was absolutely not worth the loss.
And in the season when there was no truffle production, suddenly selling truffles that could not be preserved for a long time was an extremely suspicious thing. It was easy to expose his secret.
Of course, Xia Ruofei was not in a hurry to decide whether to transplant. This time the harvest was just in time for the end of the truffle production season, so this batch of truffles could still be sold normally.
Therefore, it was imperative to plan the sale of this batch of truffles first.
In two days, he would go to Shen Cheng City, and the largest truffles would definitely be auctioned. For truffles of this grade, the most suitable place for them would be an auction.
The remaining medium-sized truffles could also be appropriately brought along as a foil.
Then he would keep the rest first, and after returning to the three mountains, he would sell them through other channels. With such good quality truffles, and now it was the end of the truffle sales season, there would certainly be no need to worry about sales.
After making up his mind, Xia Ruofei took a new organizing box, and then picked out a few pieces of the largest black truffles, white truffles, and a dozen pieces of medium-sized truffles, put them together in the organizing box, and poured in rice.
Then Xia Ruofei used tape to seal the edges of the organizing box tightly.
In this batch of truffles, there were 5 pieces of big truffles, 3 pieces of white truffles and 2 pieces of black truffles. The white truffles were more than 3 pounds, and the black truffles were more than 2 pounds. In addition, there were 13 pieces of ordinary truffles, the average weight was 300-500 grams.
Xia Ruofei also sealed the rest of the truffles, and then left the original space with Lightning.
Although he had been busy in the space for more than 10 hours, in fact, only a short time had passed in the outside world. Xia Ruofei first went to the bathroom to wash off the dirt on his body, and after changing into clean clothes, he opened the door and went downstairs with Lightning.
Xia Ruofei did not see Lin Qiao, and asked Huzi's mother, only then did he know that the girl was still sleeping.
Ye Linyun went to the farm to patrol – this was what he had to do every day. As the head of security, he was very conscientious.
Xia Ruofei had nothing to do, so he took Lightning to the farm for a stroll.
Before he reached the vegetable greenhouse, he saw Cao Tieshu's footsteps coming out of the greenhouse in a hurry … …
