Chapter 663 An unexpected surprise-Matsutake

Near the pass of Cailiang Mountain are tall evergreen coniferous forests, including evergreen cypress and oak trees. The fallen leaves under the trees are almost several meters thick. The light rain for several days has made the fallen leaves mixed with soil extremely smooth.

If this were an ordinary person, even muddy water and pine needles on the ground would be dangerous. Zhao Xinyu is a practitioner and has also practiced the Five God Art. He regarded this accident as a slide.

After gliding for hundreds of meters, Zhao Xinyu stopped. Looking at the cautious black wind on the mountain, Zhao Xinyu laughed.

Suddenly Zhao Xinyu was shaken, and the corner of his eye fell on an area where pine and oak trees were mixed. Under an oak tree, there were bumps in the leaves and soil.

Zhao Xinyu, who often goes into the mountains, didn't know what those bumps were. He didn't bother to laugh at Hei Feng. He got up and stumbled to that area.

Carefully pushing aside the rotten leaves under the tree, there was a trace of excitement that could not be concealed in his eyes. Under the rotten leaves were umbrella-shaped brown fungi with snow-white stipes and layers of fibers on the stipes and caps. Hair-like scales. Although it is a rainy day, there is still a strong fragrance permeating the air.

"Damn, why are there matsutake mushrooms in this place?"

Matsutake is a pure natural rare and valuable edible fungus, known as the "King of Fungi". The growth environment of matsutake is extremely harsh. It can only grow in virgin forests without any pollution or human intervention, and the symbiotic tree species must be fifty years old.

The price of a pound of matsutake is even more prohibitive for most people. A pound of fresh wild matsutake costs more than 10,000 yuan, and if it is in good quality, it can cost tens of thousands.

He has often followed his grandfather in and out of the mountains since he was a child. How come he didn't know about matsutake mushrooms? However, matsutake mushrooms are so rare and precious that even though the mountains in his hometown stretch far and wide, he only eats matsutake mushrooms very often.

In the past few years, he has been going into the mountains frequently, and he also wanted to find some wild matsutake mushrooms, but he had searched countless times in the primitive jungle. He had never seen even ordinary matsutake mushrooms, not to mention those in good condition.

After many times, Zhao Xinyu no longer had high expectations for matsutake, but he didn't expect that this time the jungle at the mountain pass would give him an unexpected surprise.

Knowing that it only took forty-eight hours for the matsutake to fall off from the ground, Zhao Xinyu carefully picked the matsutake, but did not dig out the roots. He needed the matsutake, but what he needed even more was the soil with the matsutake mycelium.

Knowing the growth environment that matsutake requires, Zhao Xinyu looked up at the area, took out tools, and transplanted the pine, oak, and cypress trees in the area into the space.

When the last oak tree was transplanted into the space, Zhao Xinyu clapped his hands, and then heard Hei Feng laughing.

Zhao Xinyu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Heifeng who had already turned his head, "What's wrong?"

When he finished speaking, Zhao Xinyu felt a burning sensation on his buttocks. Then when he touched it, Zhao Xinyu's old face turned red. He would be fine sliding down the mountain, but his clothes couldn't bear it, and his pants were torn. Turned into a bare butt.

Zhao Xinyu glared at Heifeng. He didn't change his pants. Heifeng, Jinhen and Jinyu were the only friends here, so he didn't care.

On this day, Zhao Xinyu braved the rain in this area to look for matsutake mushrooms. Perhaps after staying in the tent for a few days, he accumulated good luck and went around a mountain to pick nearly two kilograms of wild matsutake mushrooms. Most of the soil and trees that breed matsutake have been transplanted into space by Zhao Xinyu.

Watching the sky gradually darken, Zhao Xinyu called to Heifeng, Jinhen, and Jinyu. Heifeng looked at Zhao Xinyu with strange eyes.

"Boss, why don't you change your clothes?"

Zhao Xinyu laughed and looked at himself. By picking matsutake mushrooms and transplanting trees that can grow matsutake mushroom companions, he was already like a clay figure. Now that he is back in the village, no one will recognize him even if he is not disguised.

"Let's go, go back and change." While speaking, Zhao Xinyu found another raincoat and put it on to cover his exposed buttocks.

The light rain was falling, and the Langwo Mountain and wild boar forest shrouded in rain were particularly fresh. The vegetables and fruits grown at the foot of the mountain were green. Although it only lasted a few days, every vegetable had grown a lot taller.

The Xihan Ridge shrouded in mist and rain was extremely quiet. There was not a single pedestrian on the road, but the green wolves still guarded this pure land diligently.

People may not recognize Zhao Xinyu, but the moment Zhao Xinyu entered the village, he was recognized by the green wolves. The green wolves ran to Zhao Xinyu one by one to welcome the boss who had rapidly expanded their population.

Looking at the green wolves with preliminary spiritual intelligence, Zhao Xinyu felt very emotional. He had an idea in his heart, that is, let the green wolves return to the space in turn, so that they can break through to the level of strange beasts one day earlier.

In the future, if all the strange beasts on the Xihan Ridge break through to the strange beasts, the security will inevitably be doubled. Like those desperadoes, they will have no place to hide.

Returning to Wenying Pavilion and entering the courtyard where they live, everyone in the living room was stunned. They stood up at the same time and looked at the terracotta warriors and horses outside that were almost exhaled by the mud and water. Although they couldn't help but laugh, but after laughing, Everyone feels a little sad in their heart.

Zhao Xinyu is a billionaire at the moment. Most people will sit back and enjoy their gains at this time, and some even become evil because of their wealth.

But Zhao Xinyu was running around as always. They all knew why Zhao Xinyu was doing this. Zhao Xinyu wanted to let the villagers live the life they wanted, and the most important thing was to give warmth to their big family.

I went back to my bedroom, took a good bath, then changed my clothes and returned to the living room.

"Xinyu, I asked you to go back to the mountain in a few days. Within a few days of your visit this time, it rained every day." Meng Feiyan looked at Zhao Xinyu with distressed eyes.

Zhao Xinyu smiled and said, "Auntie, no one can predict the weather. Although it rains every day, it is not without gain. Look at what this is."

When taking out the matsutake mushrooms picked at the mountain pass, Liu Fengying chuckled, "It's just a few mushrooms. It's been raining these days, so there are a lot of mushrooms in the purple bamboo forest."

Du Mengnan looked at the matsutake on the coffee table and shook his head, "Fengying, this is indeed a mushroom, but it is not an ordinary mushroom. This is the king of mushrooms, matsutake. The price of a kilogram of matsutake is at least five yuan. Ten thousand."

When Du Mengnan said this, everyone in the living room stared at the matsutake mushrooms on the coffee table with wide eyes. Their eyes were full of disbelief. They really didn't expect that the price of this matsutake mushroom would be so high.

Liu Fengying looked at Du Mengnan, "I've heard of matsutake too. Fifty thousand a pound is too expensive. Who can afford it?"

Du Mengnan smiled faintly, "The value of matsutake is very high. When I opened a hotel, I could only buy less than a kilogram in a few years. Although matsutake is expensive, there is no market for it, and wild matsutake is even more expensive. It’s a rare thing that can only be found.”

"Zhao Xinyu, how many matsutake mushrooms did you get?"

"More than two kilograms."

When he said this, Du Mengnan's eyes widened, and then he shook his head, "You are really unlucky. Others went into the mountains for months and couldn't find half a catty, but you only got two catties in the past few days. If word of this spreads, I don’t know how many mountaineers will come to the mountains.”

"If so many matsutake mushrooms are sold at Wuyou Restaurant, they will definitely fetch a good price."

"If these two kilograms of matsutake were cooked and sold, they could fetch at least one million yuan."

"Zhao Xinyu, where are the matsutakes picked? Let's all go tomorrow. There are so many of us. We don't need to pick more in a day. Just ten kilograms is enough. One kilogram is half a million. Ten kilograms is five million. We will make a fortune." When Guan Bingtong spoke, Her eyes are full of little stars.

Du Mengnan shook his head, "Tongtong, matsutake mushrooms have very strict requirements for the growth environment. Generally, there will be no matsutake mushrooms at all in places. And if the area where matsutake mushrooms grow is destroyed, there will be no matsutake mushrooms in the future. But you are right, This matsutake is too expensive, it’s really better to sell it at Wuyou Restaurant, where a soup can sell for tens of thousands.”

Zhao Xinyu laughed and said, "We have money. This matsutake is a good thing and has rich nutritional value. Let's keep it to make soup and let everyone try it."

Meng Feiyan was stunned, "Xinyu, this soup is too expensive."

Zhao Xinyu laughed, "It is a kind of wild mushroom. The price is speculated by people. Let's just treat it as an ordinary mushroom."

After hearing what Zhao Xinyu said, everyone in the family looked at each other in shock. This is a treasure that costs tens of thousands of yuan per catty. No one can regard it as an ordinary mushroom.

Seeing the faces of his family members, Zhao Xinyu chuckled and looked at the four little guys Liu Wanting, Zhao Huaian, Meng Mingzhi, and Meng Mingcheng to see if they wanted to drink.

How could the four little guys understand this? Without any hesitation, they all nodded, "I want to drink."

"Look, if the kids want to drink it, let's make it. Besides, grandpa, aunt, and mom also need to make up for it. I'll make soup right now."

"Save some for Wuyou Restaurant, just think of it as Wuyou Restaurant's signature at the bottom of the box."

"I'll go back to the mountains to have a look in a few days, and maybe I can get some back." The soil and companion plants have entered the space. Zhao Xinyu is not worried about the source of the matsutake at all now. In his heart, the expensive matsutake is really Same as regular mushrooms.

"Fengying, go call Brother Tian and the others and ask them to come over early. This matsutake soup tastes best while it's hot."

Liu Fengying agreed to leave, and Du Mengnan looked at Zhao Xinyu, "Can you make matsutake?"

Zhao Xinyu laughed and said, "It's just a mushroom. Just do what the mushroom does."

Du Mengnan's head darkened, and he looked at Zhao Xinyu speechlessly, "Don't waste matsutake mushrooms. Matsutake mushrooms must maintain their original flavor. I won't do any online research."

"Mengmeng, you are doubting me as a chef. Don't forget that I make all the dishes at Wuyou Restaurant."
