"Found it."

Gu Xuan called out.

Wanwan and Nangong Jin rushed over upon hearing the noise.

"where."

Gu Xuan pointed to the open space in front of him.

A mushroom nest has appeared.

Many grayish-white fungi, about 20 centimeters tall, with caps on top, have grown.

Nangong Jin was surprised when she saw it.

Termitomyces albuminosus.

Nangong Jin recognized him at a glance.

She has seen many kinds of fungi.

"That's right."

"This termite mushroom is a rare delicacy among wild mushrooms. It tastes delicious no matter how it is cooked, and is extremely flavorful, especially when used in soup."

Gu Xuan nodded.

"Um."

"Dig it up first."

Nangong Jin was a little impatient.

He casually dug it up.

Gu Xuan didn't even need to lift a finger.

In total, we dug up more than thirty flowers.

"Great, I've already made some progress as soon as I came in."

There should be more around here.

I turned my head and looked in other directions.

Indeed, some more have been discovered.

"there."

Nangong Jin couldn't wait any longer and ran straight over to start digging.

We picked a lot more.

This made Nangong Jin very happy.

"Let's go, continue."

They then continued deeper into the forest.

After walking for more than ten meters, Gu Xuan discovered a new mushroom right at his feet. It was umbrella-shaped, brightly colored, with a brown cap and a white stem.

Gu Xuan recognized it at a glance.

"Nangong Jin, look at this."

Nangong Jin came to Gu Xuan's side and glanced at him.

Matsutake mushrooms.

Gu Xuan nodded.

"You're so lucky, you have so many matsutake mushrooms."

They simply dug it out themselves.

More than thirty were dug up.

Fans in the live stream felt a pang of sadness when they saw Gu Xuan find matsutake mushrooms.

'Brother Xuan is so lucky.'

"Yes, it's amazing to find such rare wild mushrooms."

"Sigh, there used to be some on the mountain near my house, but now they're all gone."

"I'm in the mushroom business, and these days mushrooms are getting harder and harder to find."

'It's all because of environmental pollution.'

The environment is slowly recovering; things will get better.

That's right.

Gu Xuan also explained.

"Everyone should have confidence. The authorities are already paying attention, and things will get better in the future."

Finding matsutake mushrooms also piqued Nangong Jin's interest.

Continue the search.

Things went much more smoothly after that.

You can find mushrooms just a few steps away.

Besides some high-end termite mushrooms and matsutake mushrooms, I also found some more common mushrooms.

But all of these were very delicious.

It's delicious whether used in soup or as a side dish.

The two spent the whole morning picking.

Even Wanwan's little basket was filled with mushrooms.

The most common of these is Termitomyces albuminosus.

Matsutake mushrooms were not readily available.

Nangong Jin was a little disappointed.

"There aren't many matsutake mushrooms."

Gu Xuan said.

"We're just looking at the outermost edge right now. If we want to find something better, we need to go deeper."

Nangong Jin checked the time.

"Time is running out, let's go back first, it's almost noon."

"good."

"Wanwan, let's go back and have something delicious to eat."

"good."

The three turned around and prepared to descend the mountain.

I've only taken a few steps.

Gu Xuan noticed something unusual.

Within a certain area, it's about four or five meters.

The weeds here are withered, and the soil is exposed, as if it were scorched.

This strange place attracted Gu Xuan.

"wrong."

He suddenly thought of a type of fungus.

He grabbed Nangong Jin.

"Look over there."

Nangong Jin looked in the direction the finger was pointing.

"What's wrong? It's just an empty lot."

Gu Xuan said.

"Didn't you see that the weeds around here have withered, and the land looks like it's been scorched?"

"Something burned here."

Nangong Jin didn't think of anything else at all.

At this moment, Gu Xuan reminded him.

"Have you ever considered that the growth of a type of fungus could cause such a reaction?"

Nangong Jin couldn't recall it for a moment.

What kind of fungus?

She didn't know, but some fans did.

'No way, could it be that?'

'If you know the answer, just say so.'

Don't keep me in suspense.

'Speak quickly.'

Black truffle.

Many fans were stunned by these words.

'No way.'

'Only black truffles require such environmental changes to grow.'

'Wasn't it burned?'

The discussion started in the live stream.

Gu Xuan said directly.

"Don't worry, we'll find out soon enough."

Gu Xuan also wanted to know if his judgment was accurate.

They quickly arrived at the center of the area.

They carefully began digging.

With just a few simple shovelfuls.

Gu Xuan carefully pulled out his shovel as if he had bumped into something.

Then gently dig away the soil on top with your hands.

A round, black lump-like thing appeared.

Black truffle.

Gu Xuan knew he had guessed right the moment he saw it.

The truffles I dug up were indeed black truffles.

Nangong Jin was also excited.

"It really is."

She quickly picked up a piece and examined it carefully.

I held it to my nose and took a gentle sniff.

"The aroma is rich and the quality is top-notch. I never expected to find such good black truffles."

"Dig quickly."

The two continued digging.

Chunks of black truffles were scooped out.

The fans were quite agitated when they saw this.

'No way, so many?'

"They've dug up about fifty pieces by now."

'We've found a nest.'

The black truffles the two dug up varied in size.

The larger ones weigh about one kilogram, while the smaller ones weigh several hundred grams.

Each piece looks incredibly tempting.

"Great, that's a lot."

Nangong Jin kept digging.

When the basket was full, he would put the contents into his own pockets. When there was no more room, he would take off his coat and stuff the contents inside.

Gu Xuan was speechless for a moment.

"No need for that, you can go back and come back later."

"No, take them all. Take as much as you can so we can sell more this afternoon. You know, this is tied to my salary."

Gu Xuan was also helpless.

The reason Nangong Jin works so hard is because Gu Xuan promised to give him a commission. Of the 10% of the hotel's profits, 5% went to Nangong Jin and the remaining 5% went to the employees.

This action motivated these employees to work incredibly hard.

Nangong Jin was even more eager to find ways to make money.

They dug up all the black truffles in the area before getting up.

They saw that Nangong Jin and Wanwan were covered in mud from head to toe.

Both of them were also holding a lot of black truffles.

Both baskets were completely full.

It can be said that they returned with a full harvest.

"Let's go, it's time to go back."

Seeing that the two were exhausted, Gu Xuan took the black truffles from Wanwan's arms and also took some from Nangong Jin's arms.

Carry him down the mountain.

Arrive at the car.

Put all the baskets and black truffles into the car.

Looking at the bountiful harvest, Nangong Jin smiled happily.

"These are ready to use."

Gu Xuan said with a smile.

"I estimate it will be used up in one night."

How did you know?

Gu Xuan pointed to the live stream room.

At this moment, many fans in the live stream, who were in a paradise on earth, couldn't wait any longer, and some even went to the Sandalwood Hotel to wait.

"No way, so many people."

Do you still think it's too much?

"That estimate is insufficient."

"We'll talk about it when we get back."

The three drove back to the Sandalwood Hotel.
