Take Along A Spring

0At the 16th Auction of the Alba White Truffle, 11 precious ingredients were auctioned for a total of 287.5 thousand euros (at that time, it was equivalent to 1.96 million Chinese dollars), of which the biggest two were sold to buyers from Hong Kong and Yanjing respectively.    1

    

The international auction linked three auction sites via satellite signals in Greenzane, the world heritage site of Italy's Piedmont region. The Castle of Kavol, Hong Kong's 8- and -one-half Bumbana Restaurant in China and the Royal Caribbean Passenger Ship Restaurant sailing in New York Bay.    

    

The largest piece of White Truffle that day weighed 900 grams and was eventually sold to an unnamed buyer in Hong Kong for 100 thousand euros (yuan) at the Hong Kong branch.    

    

At the main hall of a restaurant in Italy, an old Dong from Yanjing bought the second largest White Truffle product with a weight of 520 grams for 33 thousand euros (equivalent to 225 thousand yuan of Chinese currency at the time).    

    

The owner of the famous Italian pasta brand "Lana", Giovanni? Rana, the third most expensive White Truffle in the main hall of Italy.    

    

The White Truffle is the most famous producer in the Alba region of northern Italy, with the main harvest period from October to November each year. Because of its low yield and unique flavor, it is regarded as a precious ingredient for western cuisine.    

    

It was only June and there was still half a year before the harvest of the Italian White Truffle. Furthermore, Italy had suffered a natural disaster, so this year's production of the White Truffle was expected to be reduced by a large amount.    

    

"Dear Yang, at what price are you going to sell these treasures?" After Ben Shaming was excited for a while, he finally came to his senses. He led Yang Fann into his office. Of course, the price was not to be overheard by others, even the manager of foreign woman, Anna, was rejected by Ben Shaming.    

    

Before Yang Fann came, he had already checked the price of the White Truffle on the internet. However, he should still listen to the professional's quotes since he did not take the astronomical prices that he obtained from previous auctions.    

    

"Lao Ben, you know that I'm an amateur in this area, so you should pay the price. If I feel that the price is right, I'll sell it to you directly. I won't hold that auction anymore."    

    

Hearing that, Ben Shaming was speechless. Damn, you are still an amateur, you know that White Truffle usually go to auctions, especially Top-grade White Truffle. They are rarely bought, almost always bought from auctions.    

    

"My dear Yang, how about I buy all of your White Truffle at the price of 1500 euros per kilogram?"    

    

Ben Shaming had a pained expression, making Yang Fann laugh uncontrollably: "Lao Ben, you are really interesting. 1500 euros per kilogram of White Truffle, the price is indeed not low, but look at my White Truffle, are they normal White Truffle? I will not talk about the specific attributes. You are more knowledgeable than me in this aspect. Let's think about it later. This price is simply not good enough. "    

    

Actually, Yang Fann didn't know if the White Truffle he grew was of the highest quality, but according to his past experience, the things that grew out of the Space of Jade Pendant shouldn't be wrong. Even the tomatoes would taste ten times better, so the White Truffle should not be too bad.    

    

Dear Yang, it should be known that the top-grade Black Pine Dew is only around 500 euros, and the top-grade White Truffle is only 2000 euros more expensive. I am willing to pay 1500 euros for your White Truffle, and it is already close to the price of a top-grade White Truffle.    

    

Ben Shaming spoke like he was in the limelight, as if he was already very generous. Don't be unsatisfied, but if you negotiate with a sensitive guy like Yang Fann, unless you put on your sunglasses, block your eyes, and then put on a mask to cover your expression, you will definitely be eaten alive by him.    

    

"No, no, dear Lao Ben, your eyes betrayed you and your expression. It was very interesting, it was telling me that this is not your true thoughts, I have always regarded you as a friend. However, your performance today has greatly disappointed me." Yang Fann really did not give Ben Shaming any face and actually told him about the real situation he observed.    

    

Ben Shaming was dumbfounded. He looked at Yang Fann as if he was looking at a monster. "Kind …" My dear Yang, I don't understand what you are saying, I have always been your good friend, and since you think so highly of me, then I will take all of these White Truffle, 2,000 euros per kilogram! "    

    

"Lao Ben, the truth is better than eloquence. How about this, you cut a piece now and try it. After you taste it, we can discuss the price, okay?"    

    

Yang Fann believed his Space of Jade Pendant, as long as it was something planted inside, there was nothing that was not tasty. It was better to let the facts speak, and let Ben Shaming know what a high quality White Truffle was, a true spatial White Truffle!    

    

"Don't worry, Lao Ben, the White Truffle you are tasting is mine. If you are not satisfied with it, you can leave it to me. I won't go all out on you." Seeing Ben Shaming's hesitation, Yang Fann thought that he was afraid that he was going to swindle him, so he generously waved his hand to let him taste it.    

    

Ben Shaming was an expert in western cuisine. Just by smelling the flavor, he was able to determine that the quality of Yang Fann's White Truffle was not ordinary.    

    

"Anna, bring me a knife!" Ben Shaming shouted.    

    

After a while, Foreigner Anna who was waiting outside the office brought out a kitchen knife. Ben Shaming cut off a piece of the White Truffle and slowly savored it.    

    

The moment the White Truffle entered his mouth, Yang Fann could see the shock, confusion, bewilderment and disbelief in Ben Shaming's eyes. He smiled faintly in his heart. "It's done."    

    

Following that, Ben Shaming closed his eyes like a widow who had been absent for many years, finally receiving the comfort of a man. The expression of extreme pleasure on his face made Yang Fann feel a chill down his spine.    

    

After a long while, Ben Shaming finally let out a long breath, he drummed his knuckles on the table and said to Yang Fann: "Dear Yang, you are right, this kind of White Truffle is the best one I have ever seen, I don't know what price to offer to buy it for, if not, we can hold an auction, and let others evaluate its value, it's unfair that I am the only one who bids."    

    

Yang Fann was stunned for a moment when he heard Ben Shaming's words, and then he started to have a whole new level of respect for him. This fellow did not seem bad, he did not take the opportunity to push down the price and instead suggested that he organize an auction.
