Xia Ruofei scanned the area with his spiritual force and found that there were nine large plastic boxes scattered in the oak forest. Among them, there were five boxes of white truffles and four boxes of black truffles. Only one box of black truffles was not completely full, while the other eight boxes were all full.
Xia Ruofei had brought all the extra-large boxes. If one box was filled to the brim with truffles, it would be at least eighty to ninety pounds.
This time, it was really a bumper harvest. It was several times more than the one at the beginning of the year!
Xia Ruofei was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. In his eyes, the big lumps of dirt in the boxes were not truffles, but stacks of money. Moreover, they were green US dollars …
He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already six o 'clock in the evening.
He entered the space around noon. In other words, he had been digging truffles in the space for the whole afternoon.
Xia Ruofei was ready to go back to the outside world for dinner, and then deal with the truffles.
Xia Ruofei was very satisfied with Lightning and Little Black's performance today. He patted their heads approvingly, and then took them to the all-terrain vehicle to wash the dirt off their bodies.
Then Xia Ruofei took some flower petal solution and gave them a good reward.
Out of their biological instincts, Little Black and the others couldn't resist the temptation of the flower petal solution. They all happily gathered around and drank big mouthfuls. In the end, even the little drops of water at the bottom of the basin were licked clean by them. They also came over and gently pulled Xia Ruofei's trouser legs.
Xia Ruofei laughed and scolded, "It's still not enough! No, no, no, you'll be poor if you eat more! Next time, whoever performs well will be rewarded! You guys have been lazy during this time. You see the sun at home and don't go out to patrol … "
Lightning and the others whimpered, looking a little wronged.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh. His heart softened, and he took out a small bottle of flower petal solution and mixed it with the Space Spirit Pool water for them to drink.
In the end, Xia Ruofei brought them all back to the outside world.
Because the sea water in the space carried a lot of salt, Xia Ruofei let the dogs go to his bathroom and gave them a good rinse with the shower head. After drying the water, he let them go downstairs by themselves.
The cafeteria must have been closed by now. Xia Ruofei went downstairs to the kitchen and found some noodles in the fridge. He cracked two eggs and then took two cabbages from the space and cooked a big bowl of noodles with eggs.
After a busy afternoon, Xia Ruofei's stomach was already rumbling with hunger. The green Taoyuan vegetables and the fragrant vermicelli noodles stimulated his appetite, and he finished the big bowl of noodles in no time.
After a simple tidying up, Xia Ruofei couldn't wait to go upstairs and return to his room.
Now that Huzi's mother and Lin Qiao weren't living on the farm, Xia Ruofei was a little lonely, but it was much more convenient for him to do things.
After he returned to his room, he locked the doors and windows and immediately summoned the Spirit Map Scroll. Then, with a thought, he entered the space.
Next, he had to clean up the truffles and then weigh them accurately.
In order to save time, Xia Ruofei directly used his mental strength to wrap the nine plastic boxes in the oak forest and went to the Archean Realm.
Cleaning up the truffles was also a meticulous job.
Xia Ruofei first removed the slightly larger pieces of soil that came with the truffles. Then, he used a small brush to brush off the soil on the surface of the truffles, especially in the gaps, which had to be cleaned repeatedly.
The small brush's hair was very soft, and it didn't hurt the surface of the truffles when cleaning up the soil.
This job was very patient.
Fortunately, Xia Ruofei had enough time and patience.
He moved a small folding stool to sit down and carefully began to clean up the truffles. The cleaned truffles were placed on a large unfolded plastic sheet according to their type and size.
Xia Ruofei worked for more than ten hours before he finished cleaning all the truffles.
Then, he took out a small scale and began to weigh the truffles. He even took out a notebook to record. This time, he found Xia Qing to help. One person was in charge of handing the truffles and recording, while the other was in charge of weighing them.
Soon, all the truffles harvested this season were tabulated. The number made Xia Ruofei rather excited.
They had harvested more than 800 kilograms of truffles!
This number was several times the harvest at the beginning of the year. Of course, this wasn't what made Xia Ruofei most excited.
What he was truly overjoyed about was that the truffles harvested this year were generally quite large.
At the beginning of the year, there was a giant white truffle weighing 2.05 kilograms, which directly broke the world record of 1.89 kilograms. Later, this truffle was sold at a sky-high price of 1.25 million US dollars at an auction. The person who bought it was the Italian truffle family's heir, the sexy Monica, who later had a one-night stand with Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei had just weighed the results. The largest white truffle in this year's harvest was 2.98 kilograms, almost reaching 6 kilograms. It had improved the record at the beginning of the year by a large margin.
Xia Ruofei could imagine how crazy it would be if such a huge piece of top-grade white truffle appeared at the auction.
As for what kind of price it could be sold for, Xia Ruofei couldn't judge.
What made Xia Ruofei even happier was that in addition to the 2.98 kilograms of super white truffle, there were two white truffles and two black truffles that also exceeded 2.5 kilograms. If this was placed at the beginning of the year's auction, it would definitely be the king of the bids.
In addition, there were 13 white truffles between 2 kilograms and 2.5 kilograms, and 8 black truffles.
In other words, among the truffles harvested this time, 26 of them basically reached or exceeded the king of the bids at the beginning of the year's auction.
Even if the price of black truffles was not as good as white truffles, there were still 16 white truffles that reached the level of the king of the bids at the beginning of the year, and most of them were much heavier than that truffle.
The truffles under 2 kilograms were innumerable. Basically, the lightest was about 800 grams. It could be said that all of them were qualified to be auctioned.
The final number was 171 white truffles harvested, a total of 243 kilograms; 119 black truffles, a total of 164 kilograms.
The two truffles added up to more than 800 kilograms!
After the great joy, Xia Ruofei quickly calmed down.
He realized that if so many truffles were put on the market, even if this year's truffle harvest was poor, it would definitely have a big impact on the market price.
This was what Xia Ruofei didn't want to see.
He naturally hoped to maximize the profits.
From the information revealed by Ma Xiong, this year's harvest in the major traditional truffle production areas was generally not very good. The price of the first batch of truffles on the market may climb to a new high. Such a good situation must be taken advantage of. He couldn't break a good hand.
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment and immediately made a decision. In this auction with Hengfeng Group, only a part of the truffles could be released, at most one-third.
Anyway, the truffle production season was from November to March or April next year. Xia Ruofei could sell small batches and hold three, four, or even five auctions.
In this way, the impact on the price would be much smaller.
There was another important reason for Xia Ruofei to make this decision. There were a lot of the best truffles harvested this time. If all of them were put on the auction, it would be difficult to sell them at a high price.
The rarer something was, the more valuable it was. These best truffles could be the main character of the auction. If all of them were put on the market, it wouldn't highlight their preciousness.
Xia Ruofei quickly divided the truffles. In the end, he picked out about 90 kilograms as the first auction item. The rest of the truffles were divided into three parts. He initially decided to auction all of these truffles in four batches. The time would be as long as possible, spanning the entire truffle production season.
In each batch of truffles, there were at least two giant truffles over 2.5 kilograms. There was at least one black truffle and one white truffle.
As for the 2.98 kilograms of super white truffle, Xia Ruofei didn't put it in the first batch. Instead, he put it in the last batch. Good things must be put in the last batch.
In this batch, there was a 2.75 kilogram white truffle and a 2.66 kilogram black truffle. Then there were other truffles of various grades. In the end, there were about 55 kilograms of white truffles and 35 kilograms of black truffles.
Xia Ruofei found a clean plastic container. First, he poured some rice into the container. Then, he carefully put the sorted truffles in one by one. He tried to leave some space and deliberately didn't fill it. Finally, he poured in rice and filled all the spaces. He buried the truffles in the rice.
Although the Ring-Tu space had an absolute freshness preservation effect, these truffles were going to be auctioned. Therefore, he simply used the traditional freshness preservation method. When the time came, he would just take them out of the space.
The categorized truffles were packed into 12 plastic boxes. Xia Ruofei marked them separately to distinguish the different auctions to be sent to.
The first batch of 90 kilograms of truffles was packed into two and a half boxes. One box was filled with black truffles, while the other box was filled with white truffles.
After arranging all the plastic containers neatly, Xia Ruofei let out a long sigh of relief. Although he was happy to see the boxes of truffles, it had to be said that carefully cleaning the truffles, classifying, weighing, counting, and then mixing them properly was a very tedious job.
Even with Xia Ruofei's extraordinary energy, he still felt relieved after doing all this.
From the beginning of cleaning the truffles to the end of classifying and mixing them, it took nearly 20 hours. Fortunately, all of this was done in the Archean Realm. When Xia Ruofei left the space and returned to the outside world, it was only 8 o 'clock in the evening. Less than an hour had passed in the outside world.
Xia Ruofei wasn't in a hurry to contact Ma Xiong.
After all, he had only contacted Xia Ruofei today. These top-grade truffles weren't cabbages. If he settled everything with this, it would instead cause unnecessary speculation.
Therefore, he decided to wait two or three days.
However, Xia Ruofei didn't stay idle. He first found Feng Jing to inform her.
When Xia Ruofei came to Feng Jing's office, she was holding a stack of design drawings in her hand. She was using a red and blue pencil to mark and modify them. She was very focused.
"Are you busy?" Xia Ruofei stood at the door and knocked on it, laughing as she said.
When Feng Jing heard Xia Ruofei's voice, she quickly raised her head and said, "Chairman, you're here! Come in and have a seat … "
After pouring a glass of water for Xia Ruofei, Feng Jing asked, "Chairman, what new instructions do you have?"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "This is the interior design of the headquarters building? It's out so soon? "
"Yes! However, there are some places that are not quite consistent with my imagination. I'm going to let them modify the draft and then report to you! " Feng Jing said with a smile, "The needs of each department are different. It's quite troublesome to coordinate."
"You can distribute the design drawings of the corresponding floors to specific departments and let them check it out themselves!" Xia Ruofei said. "If you do everything by yourself, how can you handle it?"
"I'm not very satisfied with this first draft. I'll modify it first and then ask for everyone's opinions," Feng Jing said. Then, she asked, "Chairman, is there something you need from me?"
"Oh, there's something." Xia Ruofei said casually, "In a few days, our company will cooperate with Hengfeng Group to hold another auction!"
Feng Jing's eyes lit up when she heard this. She put down the design drawings in her hand and couldn't wait to ask, "Auction? What will be auctioned this time? Is it still the best quality abalone? "
Since entering the company, Feng Jing found that Xia Ruofei had taken out a lot of good things. Many of them were not produced by Taoyuan Agricultural Products. However, everyone had their own secrets, so Feng Jing didn't delve into it.
Xia Ruofei shook his head and said, "It's not abalone, but it's also very valuable. It's truffles, the best truffles!"
Feng Jing said happily, "Good stuff! This is the most popular top-grade ingredient among the upper class! And I heard that this year's truffles harvest isn't very good. If we can take out high-quality truffles for auction, we can definitely get a high price! "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't expect you to pay attention to the truffles!"
Feng Jing smiled embarrassedly and said, "On one hand, it's because I'm now in this industry, so I'm used to learning about top-grade ingredients. On the other hand … When I was studying abroad, I was lucky enough to taste truffles a few times. The taste of truffles is still fresh in my memory! It's just that it's too expensive … "
Xia Ruofei said, "You like to eat truffles! This is simple. I'll give you a piece later. You can cook it yourself, or you can take it to a western restaurant and ask a chef to cook it! "
Feng Jing waved her hand and said, "No, no, no … it's more expensive than gold …"
"I have channels to get truffles for auction. Is it a problem to let you taste one or two pieces?" Xia Ruofei said indifferently. "It's settled then!"
Then, Xia Ruofei didn't wait for Feng Jing to refuse and said, "Manager Feng, I'm looking for you today to let you know. Secondly, I hope that you can still contact Hengfeng Group for this auction. After all, you've dealt with them before and are more familiar with them."
"No problem!" Feng Jing agreed without thinking.
"Where do you think is the best place for the auction?" Xia Ruofei asked again, "I think there are three options. One is in a first-tier city in the mainland, one is in Hong Kong, and the last is to find a place in France or Italy. Those are the traditional truffles production areas!"
Feng Jing pondered for a while and said, "If you're asking for my opinion, I think Hong Kong is the most suitable place! First, our abalone auction in Hong Kong was very successful. It can be said that we have a certain level of popularity. Second, Hong Kong itself can be called the capital of oriental cuisine. The people in Hong Kong know a lot about food. Third, Hengfeng Group's network is very strong. Even if we hold a press conference in Hong Kong, we can still invite people from the western upper class to participate. Of course, the premise is that the truffles must be of high quality! "
