"Son, what are you doing? You're putting something so dirty right under your nose and sniffing it?!"

Chen Xiuzhi said unhappily, and almost went up to knock the thing out of Jiang Che's hand.

Jiang Che sniffed the scent of the black bumps on his hands with enjoyment. So this is what these things smell like.

I couldn’t afford it before, I had only seen photos of it, but I didn’t expect to see the real thing today, it was such a surprise.

I saw some people online saying that this thing smells weird, a bit like garlic, wet mud, and stink bugs.

But when Jiang Che smelled it, there was nothing there. Instead, it had a hint of mushroom smell mixed with some rotten wood smell.

That’s right, this black lump is not some dirty thing, but the black truffle, one of the three great delicacies in the world.

Its dark appearance was covered with tiny black scales, and Jiang Che recognized it the first time he saw it.

I really didn’t expect that there would be such a thing on Nanshan Mountain!

"Mom, this isn't some dirty thing. Let me tell you, these black bumps on my hands are worth at least tens of thousands of dollars."

The price of black truffles has remained high, and China has only heard that they are produced in Yunnan and Sichuan provinces.

Scarcity makes things valuable, and black truffles also have extremely high nutritional value, and have a good effect on the human cardiovascular system and Alzheimer's disease.

"Son, do you have a fever? How many tens of thousands of dollars can these donkey dung eggs be worth?"

Chen Xiuzhi totally couldn't believe it. At first glance, this thing looked just like a donkey dung egg. How could it be worth so much money?

"Ms. Chen, Xiao Che is right. These little things are really worth that much money."

"This is not animal feces, but very precious black truffle."

The three Tang brothers also came over and looked at the black truffle in Jiang Che's hand in surprise.

I never expected that there would be black truffles here, and they were so big.

The smallest of these black truffles has a diameter of at least three centimeters.

"No way, this thing is food?"

After hearing what Mr. Tang said, Chen Xiuzhi finally believed it.

It’s no wonder my mother didn’t recognize it, because black truffles usually grow underground and are difficult to find.

Moreover, no one has heard that black truffles are produced here. Even Jiang Che knew for the first time that this thing existed in his hometown.

"Yes, Ms. Chen, this is similar to the mushrooms we picked. They are both fungi, but this one is rare and more valuable."

Mr. Tang nodded and said seriously.

After hearing this, Chen Xiuzhi was stunned. How could such a thing happen? City people are really weird.

I can't understand why people eat this weird thing and it's so expensive.

"I'm sorry, Yuanbao. I misunderstood you just now. I thought you had eaten something dirty."

Then Chen Xiuzhi realized that she had wronged Yuanbao and quickly touched Yuanbao's head.

Yuanbao is so smart now, but we dare not treat him as an ordinary dog. We still have to take the little guy's feelings into consideration when doing anything.

Yuanbao didn't think anything of it and licked the back of Chen Xiuzhi's hand obediently.

Huh, I thought the old master was angry and scared Yuanbao to death.

“Since Yuanbao was able to find so many black truffles, there must be more on the mountain.

"Yuanbao, where did you find these black bumps? Can I go take a look?"

Jiang Che asked Yuanbao hurriedly.

Yuanbao nodded, then quickly got up and crawled into the grass.

"Everyone, please be careful. This is already deep in the mountains."

The old village chief was a little nervous. So many people would make too much noise, and it would be troublesome if they alarmed some large wild beast.

"Got it, Grandpa Village Chief. We won't do anything rash."

Lingzhi held Tang Tian's arm and followed carefully behind.

The three old men were also very careful, as there were so many treasures hidden in the mountains of Huaxi Village.

Yuanbao was also very considerate and found a more convenient path to take everyone through the mountains and forests.

The surrounding tree species gradually changed, and the pine needles on the ground gradually became thicker.

It's not surprising that there is a pine forest on Nanshan Mountain. Jiang Che knows that there are places where pine trees grow.

It is basically difficult for other tree species to survive, and even weeds have no chance of growing.

Because the pine needles are so dense, they block a lot of sunlight, which causes many trees to not grow at all.

In addition, the pine fruits have the help of squirrels, the little experts, to spread, so they spread even faster in the woods.

What Jiang Che didn't expect was that black truffles actually grew in this pine forest.

There are a lot of pine needle mushrooms growing in clumps on the pine needles on the ground. Pine needle mushrooms are also edible fungi.

However, the taste is still much worse than that of mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms and green mushrooms.

And now the backpacks were full, so no one stopped to pick them. The most important thing was to see the black truffles.

After walking with Yuanbao in the pine forest for a while, Yuanbao suddenly stopped.

Then Yuanbao looked back at Jiang Che and put one foot on his mouth.

Jiang Che understood that this was a warning for everyone to keep quiet.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Let's approach quietly."

Jiang Che whispered to everyone, and everyone nodded seriously.

Then everyone carefully followed Yuanbao up the hill. After climbing up the hill, Yuanbao began to crawl forward on the ground.

Everyone else started to follow suit, squatting on the ground and moving forward little by little.

After reaching the top of the hill, everyone could vaguely hear the noisy squealing of pigs.

When they reached the top of the hill, everyone carefully stuck their heads out and were shocked to see a large number of wild boars gathered in the woods below.

They plowed the fields with a grunt, and as soon as black truffles were dug out, the wild boars nearby would rush over and eat them quickly.

It is said on the Internet that the smell of black truffles is fatally attractive to sows, and many black truffle hunters abroad use sows to find black truffles. It seems to be true.

Seeing the black truffles being eaten by wild boars, Mr. Tang and the others were heartbroken. These are good things!

I watched as a black truffle the size of a ping-pong ball was turned out and then eaten by the wild boar in one bite.

What a waste of resources!

They wouldn't eat this stuff even if they had money.

These wild boars are all being eaten as snacks. There are so many black truffles in this field, right?!

But no one dared to get close, as dozens of wild boars were no joke.

Even an adult tiger, the king of the forest, would be scared when encountering so many wild boars.

And among this group of wild boars there is a huge wild boar walking around on the periphery.

Judging from its size, it weighs at least 500 kilograms. Needless to say, this must be the wild boar leader.

But if you look closely, you can see that the wild boar's butt is bloody, as if it is injured.

"What a pity! All these black truffles were eaten by wild boars!"

Lingzhi lay beside Yuanbao and muttered something.

Yuanbao heard it and turned to look at Lingzhi, then suddenly stood up and ran out.

"Hey, Yuanbao, you..."

Lingzhi hurriedly reached out and whispered to stop Yuanbao, but Yuanbao could not hear her.
