When Fang Xiuzhu and He Xuebin, along with several purchasing agents from restaurants and hotels, arrived at the pine forest, Xu Qi was already digging to the point of doubting his life.
He looked at the place not far from where he had dug, and saw Song Tiantian accurately finding large, black truffles one by one. However, he had been digging for half a day, but found nothing but a pile of mud, without even a trace of a black truffle.
"We both have noses, so why is Tiantian's so much better?"
"Well...it depends on your innate conditions."
"Then I'll call my daughter over and let her smell it. Do you think it's possible to find black truffles?" Xu Qi looked at Lu Chuanbei with hope.
Lu Chuanbei: ...
[Pfft, Director Xu is already digging so hard that he's questioning his life...]
I have to wonder, too. We're all human, so why do some people have such good noses, while we can only breathe?
Director Xu and I have the same idea. Do you think it's too late for me to raise a daughter who can smell black truffles?
[It’s too late, this is talent! ]
[Talent plus one, the talent of smell is not something that can be acquired through simple training! ]
[Yes, black truffles have a unique flavor, and not everyone can cultivate them.]
[My sense of smell is hopeless in this life, I just want to taste the black truffles from Beiyang Village QAQ]
[I'm afraid the wish above won't come true... because another large wave of restaurant purchases has arrived in Beiyang Village...]
[That's right, Fang Xiuzhu and his men have already brought people here. It is estimated that these big guys will
[Come on, let's count down ten seconds. The enemy is about to arrive at the battlefield!]
Following the countdown by fans, Fang Xiuzhu brought a group of hotel purchasing managers to the pine forest.
As soon as this group of people came over, they immediately rushed towards Lu Chuanbei and Song Tiantian.
He looked completely different from the one who had just been praising Fang Xiuzhu and He Xuebin, acting like he was a loyal fan of theirs.
He Xuebin looked at the group of people whose expressions changed so quickly and couldn't help but mutter to Fang Xiuzhu, "I knew these people were all fake fans!"
Fang Xiuzhu nodded in agreement: "Look at the speed of his expression change, it's even faster than me entering and exiting the role."
Before Lu Chuanbei could react, he was surrounded by four or five middle-aged men, and several business cards were quickly stuffed into his hands.
"Hello, Mr. Lu, I'm your fan. This is my business card. Please come and visit our restaurant when you have time."
"Mr. Lu, I've been a fan of yours since your idol audition. I didn't expect to finally get to meet you after all these years. I'm so excited. Please be sure to come to our hotel and let me entertain you!"
"Mr. Lu, I've been watching your talent shows since I was a kid!"
All of a sudden, a lot of middle-aged fans of Lu Chuanbei appeared.
Lu Chuanbei looked at these people who were much older than him and couldn't convince himself that these people had become his fans during the audition.
After all, it was only three years ago. How could it be possible that, as these people said, they had been watching their auditions since they were young?
This... is a bit too exaggerated...
[Uh... these uncles really don't want to be outdone! ]
[Good boy, I finally figured out why I wasn't successful. It's because I'm not thick-skinned enough. To be able to offer such exaggerated compliments, you're no wonder you work at a big hotel!]
[I was shocked by how quickly these uncles became fans...]
[As expected of someone who can become a hotel manager or restaurant buyer, the speed with which they can tell one thing to one person and another to another is simply astonishing!]
[I’m convinced, I’m completely convinced! ]
【Seeing these managers, I suddenly learned something! 】
Soon, Lu Chuanbei heard the key point from their compliments.
"So, you all came here for the black truffles?"
"That's right, they want to buy the first batch of Beiyang black truffles." He Xuebin directly pointed out the purpose of this group of people.
"The first batch?" Lu Chuanbei was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood.
The purpose of this group of purchasing managers.
After all, it is an indisputable fact that there are black truffles in the pine forest of Beiyang Village.
And, as long as this pine forest does not disappear, black truffles will continue to be produced in the future.
There will be more black truffles in the future, but the first batch of Beiyang Village June black truffles are indeed the most precious.
No matter who purchases this first batch of black truffles, they will have a gimmick for external publicity. With a little publicity and hype, they will gain fame and fortune and make a fortune.
Not only Lu Chuanbei reacted, Director Liu also realized that with this group of people coming, his plan to buy black truffles from Song Tiantian would probably be in vain.
Not only that, the debts owed by Lu Chuanbei and others are probably paid off, and there is probably still a lot left.
Director Liu couldn't help but take a breath when he thought of this fact.
Xu Qi quickly shouted to Lu Chuanbei, "Xiao Lu, don't sell all these black truffles. Leave some for me!"
"Director Xu, how can you still compete with us?"
"Director Xu, if I remember correctly, aren't you a member of our restaurant? If you want to eat black truffles, just come to our restaurant. I will serve you personally. Please give us the black truffles this time."
"Yes, we can also give you a membership. When you come to our hotel, I will let our five-star chef prepare a meal for you personally. This time, we have the first batch of black truffles, so please don't show them to us."
"Yes, Director Xu, it's not easy for us to come all this way here, and you're in Beiyang Village. You can eat black truffles whenever you want. Please give us the chance this time."
Xu Qi had just said one sentence when he was interrupted by the group of people talking at once.
Not only that, this group of people directly blocked Xu Qi's sight.
Xu Qi looked at these restaurants, some of which he frequented. Just for a few black truffles, they ignored the friendship of long-time members and blocked him out. He couldn't help but feel speechless: "So, have all my years of patronage been in vain?"
Without caring about Xu Qi's slightly hurt heart, He Xuebin stood up and started hosting.
He picked up two wooden sticks from somewhere and started banging on them. "Alright, alright, managers, please be quiet. The bidding ceremony for Beiyang Village's first batch of black truffles is about to begin. Let's look forward to your bids!"
"What bid?"
"Of course, these are Beiyang Village's first crop of black truffles. How can we realize their value without bidding?" He Xuebin said as he glanced at them and asked, "Or are you not really interested in buying Beiyang's first crop of black truffles?"
"Of course not!"
"Of course we are sincere!"
"I'd like to bid. When does it start?"
“Yes, yes, yes…”
The managers fell into the trap, and all that was left was a price competition, but before that, Lu Chuanbei still had to get Song Tiantian's permission.
Song Tiantian, who had already dug a small basket and could still smell a lot of black truffles, would certainly not refuse after knowing that these uncles were there to give her money.
In this way, the bidding ceremony for the first batch of Beiyang Village black truffles officially opened, as the adults kept bidding on the black truffles in the bamboo baskets.
Song Tiantian had already taken Xiangfangnan with her and continued digging in the pine forest.
After all, she still had to prepare black truffle fried rice for them in the evening!
[Are you calling it two thousand yuan per pound so soon? ]
[Oh my god, has the price of first-crop black truffles gone this high?]
[It's still rising. If this continues, its price will be close to Green Manor's black truffles, right?]
[I originally wanted to go to Beiyang Village to buy some black truffles to try, but now it seems that I am not worthy of them...]
[I'm tired of expressing envy. Are you guys in Beiyang Village still short of people?]
The price of the first batch of black truffles from Beiyang Village has reached nearly 5,000 yuan per kilogram due to the bidding of these purchasing managers.
Not only that, the group of people looked at each other and shouted out prices even more fluently.
The look of not caring about money at all made He Xuebin laugh so hard that his teeth were showing.
Finally, the first batch of black truffles was bought by Manager Qian of Dingsheng Huatai at the auspicious price of 6,600 yuan.
Of course, a sentence that Manager Qian shouted during the auction also played a very important role.
That is, he can settle with cash.
This made Lu Chuanbei and others excited on the spot.
Purchasing managers from other companies who were only concerned about rushing over without preparing any cash, after seeing the expressions of Lu Chuanbei and others, immediately regretted not having prepared more cash in the car.
Now, because of this, I missed the qualification to bid for the first batch of black truffles.
Director Liu also looked regretful when he heard this.
You know, he was just thinking about these managers. They probably usually use their mobile phones to settle payments, so he could use the reason that they had to pay off their debts in cash to refuse Lu Chuanbei from paying them back.
Now, with the more than 30,000 yuan from Manager Qian, this idea has failed before it even started.
Manager Qian happily handed the money to Lu Chuanbei and gave him a business card: "Mr. Lu, this is my business card. If you have any ingredients you need to sell in the future, you can contact me."
"Yes, we didn't sell the first batch of black truffles, but our restaurant is also very interested in the black truffles produced later." Manager Sun of Xianghui Restaurant also squeezed forward and prepared to place an order for the next batch of black truffles from Lu Chuanbei.
After all, the first batch of black truffles is good, but if they are not available, the next batch of black truffles will also be good.
Moreover, this is the first batch of June black truffles in China, so you won’t lose money at all.
Lu Chuanbei looked at the business cards that were instantly stuffed into his hands and couldn't help but shout to them, "Manager Qian, Manager Sun, I know you all still want to buy black truffles."
"But this pine forest belongs to Beiyang Village. If you want to buy it, I can introduce you to the village chief and secretary of Beiyang Village."
