Matsutake mushrooms are not so easy to dig. If you are not careful, you may destroy its entire structure, and then the price will not be high enough. So Zheng Gan and Lin Hao are complete outsiders and don't know how to do it at all. Although Jiang Feng has experience in climbing mountains, he has never dealt with matsutake mushrooms, so he is naturally sidelined.
Only Uncle Six was experienced. He found a branch nearby, sharpened the front end of it, gently inserted it into the soil under the matsutake, and then gently pried it with a wooden stick to separate the matsutake from the soil. He carefully took out the intact matsutake to avoid damage.
Finally, flatten the loosened soil and matsutake mushroom population and cover them with humus to protect the mycelium from damage, so that matsutake mushrooms may continue to grow in this area in the future.
This approach is actually the same as Zheng Gan and his team's previous inability to use the family-killing net at sea. If they continue to kill them all, let alone sustainable development, at least they will be left with nothing in the future.
After Uncle Six got a few matsutake mushrooms, Zheng Gan and the other three had almost learned how to do it, so they started looking for branches and did it themselves. There was no other way, as the map showed quite a few matsutake mushrooms, and if Uncle Six worked alone, he would not be able to finish until dark.
"Oh my god, Lao Liu, you're so lucky that you can actually dig up some matsutake mushrooms just as you're entering the mountain pass?" A villager came and saw Uncle Liu and was very shocked.
This was not the first person to have this reaction. There was no other way. The main reason was that their current position was too awkward. The contestants who were competing on the mountain had to pass by here when going down the mountain. The four of them squatting here and working so hard would naturally arouse others' curiosity. But fortunately, everyone was still relatively moral and did not follow them up to grab the things.
They had a considerable amount of matsutake mushrooms here, so the four of them squatted here and worked for more than half an hour but still couldn't finish it. Finally, Jiang Fusheng and Sun Chao both came back, and they were still working on it, and more and more people were watching.
"What's going on?" Jiang Fusheng asked with a frown.
"There are quite a lot of matsutake mushrooms here, but there are not enough of us, so we may not be able to get them all." Jiang Feng said very honestly.
"Matsutake? Can't finish them all?" Jiang Fusheng was stunned at first, then immediately put down his basket and joined in, and so did Sun Chao.
Now there are six people working here, and the speed has increased a lot. They rushed to get all the matsutake mushrooms in this area out before the end of the competition.
As soon as Zheng Gan and his team returned to the scene, Boss Hu came running over and said very flatteringly,
"Boss Zheng is amazing. With so many matsutake mushrooms, it looks like you're the best."
There was no way. So many people saw them digging matsutake mushrooms, so they couldn't hide it. Boss Hu was also glad that he had established good relationships before, otherwise such good things might not have fallen into his hands.
The current environment is not good, and precious mountain delicacies are becoming less and less, making it increasingly difficult for these mountain product merchants to do business.
"It's just luck, Boss Hu. Let's go weigh first. We can talk after we're done." Zheng Gan said. He would focus on the competition first. It doesn't matter if these mountain products cannot be sold. He can just keep them for himself. He doesn't really care about this little money.
"Okay, okay, the competition is important, you guys go first, we'll see you later."
The six people first sorted out their mountain products. Lin Hao, Jiang Feng and Uncle Six gave all the ones they had picked up to Zheng Gan. After all, he was the one who found them.
Therefore, only he, Jiang Fusheng and Sun came to participate in the final evaluation of the competition.
Most of the contestants are just there to play or join in the fun. Less than half of them are really thinking about the competition. Among them, there are many with poor skills, which eliminates another half.
There were only a few dozen people with some skill, so when Zheng Gan poured out all the mountain products he had obtained, everyone present gasped.
"Oh my god, what did I see? Alpinia chicken mushroom? There's also red mushroom! It's actually Matsutake?" Some people came back early and didn't see them digging Matsutake at the mountain pass, so they were all confused at this time.
As for those who had seen it before, they were even more confused when they didn't expect that they actually had these two precious mountain products, red mushroom and chicken mushroom, and in such large quantities.
Now, after such a shout, people from the surrounding area came over, especially the mountain product merchants, who were almost going crazy when they heard about so many good things.
"You guys step back. If you want to collect the mountain products, wait until we finish counting them." The staff on the scene were frightened by this scene and quickly began to maintain order.
Of course, the organizers were extremely happy. They originally came here to develop the area, and now they had such precious mountain products as free publicity. They couldn't wait to hug Zheng Gan and give him a kiss.
Upon hearing this, the merchant who was collecting mountain products could only step back to leave room for the other party to count the goods, but the scorching light in his eyes made Zheng Gan unable to open his eyes.
"Eleven pounds of chicken mushrooms, forty-seven pounds of red mushrooms, and sixty-two pounds of matsutake mushrooms!" As the staff reported the numbers, the atmosphere on the scene reached a climax again.
"My God, I've been working in the mountains for so many years, and I've never heard of anyone picking up so many good things."
"Yes, this is over 100 kilograms of top-grade mountain delicacies. How much does it cost?"
While the contestants were discussing, the mountain product merchants began to calculate how much money they would have to pay to buy these mountain delicacies.
The market purchase price of Alpinia arboriolus is 300 yuan, so 11 kilograms is 3,100 yuan. The purchase price of red mushroom is also 300 yuan, so 14,000 yuan. Matsutake is more expensive, 600 yuan per kilogram, which is 37,000 yuan.
This is more than 50,000 yuan. It is really amazing that someone can pick up something worth so much in the mountains in one day. They also noticed that the person's expression was very calm, as if this was something worth five yuan.
Indeed, Zheng Gan also did a simple calculation in his mind, it was about 50,000. Such a small amount of money was indeed not enough to make him happy enough to show too much emotion. Not to mention 50,000 a day, even 500,000 was commonplace for him. If he could earn 5 million a day, he would be very happy.
Yes, that's how pretentious it is.
After Zheng Gan's result came out, there was no need to verify it. The championship was already in his pocket, and the 30,000 yuan prize was also in his hands.
After the evaluation, it was time for the leader to give a speech. After a speech lasting more than half an hour, the competition finally ended successfully.
The mountain product merchants swarmed over immediately.
