Chapter 33 Selling Matsutake

Second Aunt Bai walked into the kitchen as soon as she came in, with a kind smile on her round face, "Sister-in-law, Xiao Bai, what else do you want to help with?"

Liu Xiao was putting the cold beef on a plate, and shook his head at her with a smile.

"No, brother and sister, you sit down.

Eat right away. "

If it wasn't for her gluttonous girl who suddenly wanted to eat cold beef, she would have already prepared the dish.

Second Aunt Bai smiled gently, the tip of her nose was filled with the rich aroma of chicken soup.

"Sister-in-law, your craftsmanship is getting better and better. I can smell the fragrance before I even enter the house."

Embarrassed, Liu Xiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, quickly took out the cold dish, and took two bottles of beer from the refrigerator for the two old men.

"Eat more later, there are good things in the soup."

Most of the time in the countryside in summer, people eat in the courtyard. At seven or eight o’clock, the sky is not completely dark yet, and the small electric fan blows on it again, which makes it more comfortable and pleasant.

Before it was served, Bai Dongshan put the watermelon in cold water, and then helped serve the dishes and stools.

After the family sat down, there was no order, those who wanted to drink drink, those who wanted to eat vegetables, Liu Xiao and Second Aunt Bai didn't care about the two of them.

Liu Xiao scooped up a bowl of soup for Bai Xu to cool down first, then looked at Second Aunt Bai, "Sister and sister, you can have a bowl too."

"I'll do it myself, sister-in-law, eat yours quickly." Second Aunt Bai had already seen the matsutake in the soup, she smiled and nodded to Liu Xiao.

"Xiao Bai, you also dug this on the mountain?" Second Aunt Bai asked while eating matsutake with a chopstick.

"Well, matsutake tastes good this year, so delicious."

Second Aunt Bai froze as soon as she fed the matsutake into her mouth, it was too delicious.

"Yes, Second Aunt, eat more." Bai Xu picked up a piece of beef and smiled at her.

Of course it was delicious. She replaced all the matsutake in the refrigerator with the matsutake grown in the Space Lingtian. How could it not be delicious.

Moreover, Lingquan water is also put in this soup, taking a sip, you will feel energetic all over.

"Okay, okay." Second Aunt Bai nodded quickly.

Not to mention, the taste of this year is really different from previous years, it is so fragrant.

Bai Dongshan took a sip of beer, and picked up a chicken leg and a few pieces of matsutake for his honest brother, "Aren't you free these two days? Your niece said that there are a lot of matsutake on the mountain, and asked you to go up the mountain to find matsutake."

Bai Xu quickly explained.

"Second Uncle, don't listen to my dad's nonsense, he obviously doesn't want you to be idle."

She didn't say that, don't give her a hat.

Liu Xiao and Second Aunt Bai had fun.

Bai Changlong smiled honestly, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it at all, "Really? Then I can go to the mountain to have a look. Anyway, I'm idle if I'm idle."

Bai Changlong sometimes digs a few collodium mushrooms in his orchard, but he doesn't have so much luck when it comes to matsutake.

If you can find a few good matsutake, it is also a big income.

Uncle Bai's family is not as good as Bai Xu's family. Although they have a small deposit, their son is going to get married soon and a new house will be built, so money is a little tight.

Moreover, the income of the fruits of the fruit forest this year is still unknown. If we can find matsutake, it may be very good.

"Second Uncle, you can go up the mountain, but pay attention to the bugs. It has been raining these days, and there are a lot of bugs on the mountain." Bai Xu was right, there were indeed a lot of fungi on the mountain this year, and after the fungi she dug up today were sold for money, they should be She will be able to complete her task.

In this way, she was relieved.

Bai Changlong nodded cheerfully, "Don't worry."

Don't worry about it, when he finds some herbs under the mountain face and rubs it on his body, the bugs won't find him.

After dinner, Bai Xu rested on the rocking chair in the yard, and Bai Dongshan was still drinking and bragging with Uncle Bai. The two brothers rarely had such a leisurely time, and the two women in the family did not restrain them.

Looking at the sky full of stars twinkling above her head, Bai Xu raised her hand, trying to pick one off.

It's been a long time since I saw such an open starry sky. When I was in the city, I could only see tall buildings when I looked up.

The evening wind blows through Bai Xu's hair, she sits on the swaying old man's chair, her eyes are comfortable and wanton, such days are full of hope.

When Bai Xu was woken up by Liu Xiao and asked her to go upstairs to sleep, she realized that she had already fallen asleep.

She hurried upstairs to wash and lie down, she will go to the city tomorrow.

After breakfast, Bai Xu packed up her things, put on her small satchel and headed out of the village.

The morning sun was warm and bright, and there was no heat yet, so Bai Xu walked more vigorously.

After boarding the bus to the county seat, Bai Xu leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

The rickety passenger car was driving unhurriedly on the road with nine turns and eighteen turns. The wind blowing in through the gaps in the windows had a strange smell, and Bai Xu sighed.

When her back hands are better, let's drive her dad's car, the gasoline on the bus smells really bad, plus her nose is sensitive to breath now, she always feels like she's going to throw up.

When Bai Xu changed to a car and came to the city, she couldn't help but vomited when she got off the car, so she took a sip of water to suppress the pain in her heart.

Finding an empty public toilet, Bai Xu took out the back basket that had been placed in the space in advance, which contained the matsutake she had prepared. She will soon find a restaurant that eats mountain delicacies and sell the matsutake.

She had already searched for two restaurants on her mobile phone that would accept Shanzhen, and took a taxi there.

City Z is neither big nor small, although it is not as good as the neighboring city M, but because it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the tourism industry is relatively developed, and the food is much better.

These days, whatever the rich like, they like to eat some wild game and some exotic food.

Bai Xu paid the fare, looked at the uniquely decorated restaurant in front of her, and walked in.

When the waiter at the door saw Bai Xu, surprise flashed across his eyes, and he smiled and said to her, "Ma'am, do you want to dine or make a reservation?"

"No, I want to ask if you accept wild matsutake here?" Bai Xu went straight to the point, not talking to her, she sold the matsutake, and she still has to buy seeds.

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses and nodded, "It's accepted, it's accepted, can you show me first?"

As a wild game restaurant, their boss has explained that no matter if it is running in the mountains or swimming in the water, as long as it is wild game and does not break the law, it will be accepted.

Bai Xu put down the pan, and lifted the top layer of leaves to show her a look.

The waiter looked a little strange when he saw the matsutake, such a big wild matsutake?Then they can't be fired into sky-high prices by their bosses.

Fortunately, she greeted guests at the door today, it seems that there are many bonuses this month.

She then put on a warm smile on Bai Xu, and said something to the walkie-talkie around her neck.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll have someone take you to the back kitchen."

Soon another waiter came out, she greeted Bai Xu, and led her to the back kitchen.

I haven't arrived at the restaurant yet, there are no guests in the restaurant, only the waiters are busy, Bai Xu looked around the restaurant, and silently followed the waiters in front.

When I came to the pavilion outside the back kitchen, several chefs were chatting outside the kitchen, and the waiter went to call the head chef over.

"Sell matsutake?" The middle-aged chef in white chef's attire saw Bai Xu, his eyes flashed, he lifted his pants, and walked over leisurely.

Bai Xu didn't like the look in his eyes very much. She put the basket on the table with a neutral expression, "Yes. Let's see what price you can give me?"

The corners of the middle-aged chef's mouth drooped a little. He walked over, took a look at the matsutake in the back basket, and his eyes lit up immediately.

This quality, as well as the aroma, are wild at first glance.

But, the head chef closed his eyes, pretended to be careless, put the matsutake back, and pulled it in the back basket, "Little girl, the price of matsutake this year is not high. Seeing that the quality of your matsutake is not bad, I will give you 1000 yuan." How about one kilogram?"

Bai Xu frowned, she thought she had heard wrong.

Last night, her uncle told her that the price of matsutake is high this year, and the matsutake she gave to their family was seen by his friend, and he wanted to spend 2000 yuan to buy it back and eat it for himself.

The matsutake was estimated to be only seven or eight taels, and it was worth 2000 yuan, so the chef dared to charge her 1000 yuan for this basket of better-quality matsutake, which was still a kilogram.

Bai Xu became a little impatient.

"How much is the highest?"

If the price is not what she expected, then she would rather go to a few more places to have a look.

"The highest? Miss, this is the highest price." The head chef said teasingly, with a feeling in his eyes that giving you such a high price is already considered to be worthy of you.

The two were talking, but they didn't notice that the waiter next to him took a photo of matsutake and posted it in the work group.

Seeing that he refused to let go, Bai Xu didn't want to talk nonsense with him, "Then interrupt."

500 yuan a catty, I'm crazy to want to take advantage of it.

She put on her backpack and was ready to return the same way.

"Eh? No, don't you agree? It's the same price this year." Seeing her walking out swiftly, the head chef was a little surprised at first, and then chased after her to explain.

But Bai Xu didn't even look back, the head chef was in a hurry, trotted two steps to catch up, and opened his mouth with a smile on his face.

"How about I add some, one thousand two, one thousand two?"

The quality of the matsutake in her hand was the best batch he had seen this year, and the portion was not small, and the price was reduced, so they would definitely accept it in the store.

Bai Xu didn't even want to talk to him, since she was not sincere, don't waste her saliva.

"One thousand and five, little girl, that's really the only limit." The head chef was a little annoyed, seeing that Bai Xu had walked to the gate, he added one last time.

After all, she should be satisfied with one thousand and five.

Bai Xu pursed her lips, and directly hailed a taxi, preparing to go to another restaurant.

The chef behind him panicked, no, isn't one thousand and five not satisfied?
He frowned, took a sip, and let it go if he didn't sell it. Fifteen thousand was not enough, and his heart was very black.

At this time, the owner of the shop hurried down from the second floor with a happy expression on his face. He didn't look at the chef's face at all. He turned on his mobile phone and said, "Old Wang, have you taken the matsutake? It's almost as tall as matsutake Hurry up, let me take a photo and send it to old customers, I'm sure many old customers will like it."

At that time, the business in his shop will be booming again.

The head chef smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect the boss to know so soon, and he explained dryly, "Mr. Chen, no, I didn't receive it. She won't sell it."

The boss was dumbfounded, how could this happen.

"Not for sale? Why not for sale? What price did you give?"

No, how could they not sell it, and came here to ask the price with great effort, is it just a joke?

"One thousand and five!" The head chef replied guiltily, but he didn't dare to say that it was one thousand and fifty-one kilograms.

If the boss knew [-] kilograms, he might be able to skin him.

The boss put the phone away, sighed, and gave him a dissatisfied look.

"One thousand and five? It's so low. You don't know the price of wild matsutake this year. Why don't you give me more, or call me. It's a pity that the quality of matsutake is so good."

For such a good matsutake, it is not impossible to give three thousand, and in case there are still matsutake to sell later.

"What fifteen thousand? Uncle, it's one thousand fifty-one kilograms."

The waiter at the door couldn't stand it any longer. He picked his fingernails and opened his mouth to find out the flaws in his words.

The shitty Wang Youcai caused her to lose her bonus at the end of the month, and she had the nerve to frame her beautiful sister, bah.

The boss frowned, and his fists woke up, "What? What [-] kilograms?"

He immediately turned his head to look at Wang Youcai, his sharp eyes almost pierced him.

Wang Youcai's face was blushing, and he didn't dare to scold the waiter, "No, boss, I, I was still raising the price, so she left."

He just saw that Bai Xu didn't look like someone who knew the price, so he planned to fool her, but he didn't mean not to accept it.

The boss slapped him on the head, became furious, and yelled at him.

"You pig, who sells matsutake for only a few hundred yuan a catty, who is deaf or blind, didn't they ask for a good price?"

He was so pissed off, he was so pissed off, if such a good wild matsutake was placed in their shop, it would definitely make more than half of the profit.

Mad, all good opportunities to make money were ruined by this idiot.

Dingzhen Pavilion

Bai Xu looked at the game restaurant in front of him, said it was a game restaurant, but it felt more like a private restaurant, quiet and unique.

After hesitating for a while, she walked in anyway, the procedure was the same, but she was taken to a box, and the waiter poured tea for her before inviting people.

After Bai Xu sat for 2 minutes, there was the sound of high-heeled shoes kicking outside the door. A plump and beautiful middle-aged woman opened the door and walked in with a smile.

"Sister, you want to sell matsutake, right?"

Reaching out without hitting the smiling person, Baixu nodded, smiled at her, and took out a matsutake from the back basket and handed it to her.

The woman's eyes lit up, before she had time to appreciate Bai Xu's appearance, she was attracted by the quality of the matsutake, and turned to the waiter at the door, "Go and call Lao Xiang over."

This head, this quality, must be accepted.

She looked at the pile of green leaves in the basket, and there seemed to be a lot of matsutake, so she hurriedly asked.

"Sister, my surname is Zeng. You can just call me Sister Zeng. I see that you still have matsutake in your back basket. They are all for sale, right?"

Why not take a foam box and pack it well, it would be a pity if it is crushed.
