Chapter 93 The Treasure in the Mountains! We've struck gold!
Because they needed to harvest wheat, Xu Ran was worried about scaring the giant pandas, so she led them into the mountains.
He was thinking of taking a stroll and picking up some rare mountain produce along the way.
After all, it's been a long time since I've been to the mountains.
Since the weather is nice today, it would be good to take a stroll in the mountains.
Inside the farm, combine harvesters are harvesting wheat in the fields, while several trucks are parked nearby waiting for transport.
These high-quality wheat grains will be transported to flour mills.
The flour mill is a very professional large-scale factory that mainly processes high-quality wheat from Xinjian.
Xu Ran's deal was quite large, and coincidentally, other people's wheat hadn't ripened yet, so Xu Ran successfully secured the deal.
There are also flour workshops in the town.
It's a very small machine. When it's wheat harvest season, farmers carry sacks and line up to wait for it to be ground into flour.
Many villages have poor economies, and the villagers are self-sufficient, saving wherever they can. They grow their own wheat, grind it into flour, and make steamed buns, which doesn't cost much.
Farm staff are helping out next to the wheat field.
The dogs were playing and frolicking in the open space nearby.
Little Grey is now a fully grown adult, agile and strong, and runs extremely fast.
According to Xu Ran's estimation, even if it participated in a dog obstacle course competition, it could easily win a prize.
The little yellow dog isn't as tall as it, and it can't beat it at all now.
But the two of them were just playing around, tackling each other, and running together, full of innocent and carefree joy.
At this moment, Xu Ran and the giant panda arrived at the bamboo forest.
Xu Ran carried a bamboo basket on his back and held a shovel in his hand. He opened a map of rare plant distribution to find the location of bamboo shoots.
At this time of year, bamboo shoots are still underground and haven't sprouted yet, so they're hard to find.
But it made no difference to him.
An extraordinary life needs no explanation; just dig it out.
Xu Ran stopped, put the bamboo basket aside, and started digging directly into the ground with a shovel.
The giant panda watched from the side, unaware of what Xu Ran was doing.
With a hint of curiosity in his eyes, he leaned closer to take a look.
After Xu Ran dug away some soil to expose the bamboo shoot tip, he reached down along the bamboo shoot, pried it up with a shovel, took it out by hand, quickly peeled it open, and handed it to the giant panda.
The giant panda instantly stretched its neck forward, and its eyes widened.
It seems to be saying, "How was this found?"
Without much thought, it sat down on the ground after getting the bamboo shoot, leaned against a few thick bamboo poles, and began to enjoy it.
Xu Ran, on the other hand, moved to another location and continued digging for bamboo shoots.
Occasionally, I come to the mountains to wander around and dig for some things; it's quite a stress reliever.
The air in winter is crisp and fresh; taking a few breaths makes you feel refreshed.
Generally speaking, the further south you go, the earlier the winter wheat matures.
For example, the fruit ripens in Taiwan the following March.
It matures in mainland China from May to July.
Xu Ran's winter wheat matured very early, before February, it was already fully ripe.
A few days ago, a professor from an agricultural university came to the farm for inspection. He was so shocked by Xu Ran's winter wheat that he was speechless. He even took some samples back for research.
In fact, this is all because Xu Ran has the skill and fertilizer to accelerate growth, which is why the wheat grows so fast.
Xu Ran was busy and dug up several bamboo shoots.
In the evening, the farm offers bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat, and some can be saved for the giant pandas.
Improve the giant pandas' diet.
Xu Ran continued browsing the [Rare Plant Distribution Map], and in the map's markers, he saw a plant name that was specially marked.
Black Truffle (brown, regular color)
Black truffles (black, high grade)
Black Truffle (Black, Premium Grade)
Upon seeing these signs, Xu Ran's expression shifted.
He knew that black truffles were very expensive.
It's more expensive abroad, costing several thousand yuan per kilogram, while it's slightly cheaper in China, costing only a few hundred yuan per kilogram.
The main source of production is Yunnan nanmu.
Even so, because black truffles cannot be cultivated and can only be dug up in the mountains, high-quality black truffles command very high prices.
"They even have top-quality black truffles!"
"This is the season when black truffles grow in the mountains, so there will be a lot of black truffles growing here."
"Some black truffles are brownish-brown when cut open; they're quite ordinary and not worth much."
"Some black truffles are large and black, and when cut open, the inside is pure black; these are the most expensive."
"We can find a buyer and sell it for a good amount of money."
"This could be a profitable business."
Xu Ran immediately began to make plans.
Upon noticing the presence of black truffles, the bamboo shoots in my hand suddenly lost their aroma.
Bamboo shoots are everywhere and not worth much money.
Black truffles are different.
Black truffles are buried underground. When they are first dug out, they look like donkey droppings because they are covered in dirt.
But once it's cleaned and the rough black surface is exposed, it feels different.
Without hesitation, Xu Ran immediately followed the map and headed towards a black truffle farm.
It's time to make money!
"Tangyuan, let's go for a walk in the mountains."
Xu Ran called out to the giant panda.
Upon hearing Xu Ran's words, the giant panda immediately lay down on the ground and trotted after him.
This scene is quite amazing.
A person and a panda strolled through the forest, and the panda was a wild one.
Luckily, there was no one in the mountains. If someone had seen it, it probably would have become a trending topic.
Soon, Xu Ran arrived at the destination.
The map information shows that this is a black matsutake mushroom farm, and many of them are top-quality black matsutake mushrooms.
Xu Ran looked down and saw a large tree next to this area, with black pine mushrooms growing above the tree roots.
Xu Ran easily found one by simply digging away some soil.
This black matsutake mushroom was enormous; it was almost too big to hold in one hand, and it was quite heavy.
This one piece alone costs at least several thousand yuan.
If you dig up a few more mounds, earning 3 to 5 yuan shouldn't be a problem.
Thirty to fifty thousand is a lot for him, and he's naturally happy to make money.
So, under the warm winter sun, Xu Ran happily dug for black pine mushrooms in the forest.
It's like panning for gold.
There was also a giant panda sitting on the ground eating bamboo shoots.
This rural life is quite pleasant.
Because there were so many black matsutake mushrooms in the forest, Xu Ran specifically looked for the best ones, refusing any that weren't top-quality.
"I didn't know there were matsutake mushrooms in Nanshan before, and nobody here knew about them, so nobody came to dig them up."
"However, matsutake mushrooms are quite scattered and not easy to find."
"Moreover, they look ordinary, and with so many kinds of mountain products, the villagers don't even know what they're digging up."
Xu Ran thought to herself.
To run mountain roads, you first need to know what you're looking for; otherwise, you'll be completely lost once you get into the mountains.
This can be considered professional knowledge.
Xu Ran happily dug, and because she was so efficient, the bamboo basket was soon full.
Seeing that it was almost time, he called the giant panda to head back.
The farm's wheat fields were still bustling with activity as everyone worked together to harvest the wheat.
Before anyone knew it, Han Tai from the neighboring farm had already squeezed through the fence. When he saw Li Wu, he immediately came over to greet him: "Dude, the wheat on your farm ripens really early. When did you plant it? It's not even the New Year yet and we can already harvest it."
"What breed is it? It looks so good!"
Li Wu glanced at him, but didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Who are you?"
"We're neighbors, right next door. This land was just rented; they're building a greenhouse right now!"
"You all seem so busy here. Is there anything I can do to help? Let me lend a hand."
Han Tae said with a smile.
Li Wu immediately became alert. "There's nothing I can help with. Outsiders aren't allowed on our farm. How did you get in?"
"We should get out!"
Upon hearing this, Han Tai immediately said, "We're all from the same village, can't I help you harvest the wheat?"
"Young man, why are you being so rude!"
Li Wu's expression changed, and he said, "Who's being polite with you? Who do you think you are? Get out of here! Who let you in!"
"Walk!"
Li Wu began to drive him away.
Han Tai wanted to say something more, but seeing Li Wu's unfriendly look, he could only slink away over the fence.
Just as he was about to walk out of the fence, he took advantage of the fact that no one was looking, plucked two ears of rice, and stuffed them into his clothes.
What are you doing!
Li Wu saw this and cursed angrily.
"I'm leaving right now, I'm leaving right now!"
Han Tae quickened his pace, squeezed through the fence post, and immediately jogged towards his farm.
Seeing his back, Li Wu cursed under his breath, "What a shameless person."
Then he continued to busy himself with the grain harvest.
