Chapter 1053 1038. Universal Honey (45)

When returning to the castle, Wang Bo opened the sand table and looked at it for a while, and then found that the heart of the territory was not as powerful as he imagined, and could not help him obtain truffles.

The Heart of the Woodland covers the entire mountain forest. Its existence allows Pharaoh to control things above the surface of the mountain, but he can't see anything below the surface, and truffles live underground.

But if he wants to dig truffles, he should be able to gain something by training the young man and the queen, after all, these little guys have a very sensitive sense of smell.

Putting away the sand table, he used his mobile phone to check the trading situation of truffles online. If necessary, he would like to try artificial cultivation of truffles.

As a result of this investigation, it was found that truffles are worthy of being called gold nuggets in the soil. In 2010, Chinese gambling king Stanley Ho bid 330,000 US dollars at the auction for two Italian Tuslana whites weighing 1.3 kilograms. Truffle and Molise white truffle.

In the same year, in Paris, France, Michelin teamed up with the world's largest circulation gourmet magazine "Restaurant" to hold an international charity auction dinner for Italian white truffles at the Hilton Hotel for the sixth consecutive year. The price of a 1.25 kg white truffle was taken.

In recent years, due to climate and ecological reasons, the production of large truffles has become less and less, but the catering industry in many countries has paid more and more attention to truffles.

For example, the dish of black truffle and wild mushroom soup entered the American state banquet menu, and another example, the dish of truffle sauce was on the British state banquet. In addition, countries such as France, Italy, Norway and Switzerland used truffles as a dish earlier. The star dish of the state banquet.

From the news, Wang Bo found that most of the high-value truffles are found in the northern hemisphere, which is mainly related to the species of truffles. White truffles are rarely found in the southern hemisphere such as Australia and New Zealand, and black truffles are generally produced.

The value of black truffles is much lower than that of white truffles. Last year, the world's largest truffle was discovered in Australia. The truffle was a black truffle, weighing 1.5 kilograms, but worth only about 30,000 US dollars.

From this point of view, even black truffles are very expensive, 20,000 US dollars per kilogram. No matter how good the quality of the beef and mutton in Wang Bo's ranch, it is impossible to sell such a price.

After Lancaster returned to the castle with these black truffles, he DIYed a grater by hand to grind the black truffles into truffle powder and truffle pieces, which can better preserve the truffles.

Although these truffles are not big, they are different from all fungi. They are not soft plants, but stiff in texture, like stones.

So there are not many truffles dug out from a tree, but there are only two bags, but after weighing it, it is also two kilograms.

Lancaster divided the truffle into two, kept one for himself, and gave the other to Wang Bo.

Wang Bo readily accepted. Speaking of which, these truffles were all found in his territory. According to the law, he can even ask Lancaster to keep them all.

But he wouldn't be so stupid to do this. Not to mention that someone discovered the truffle, but the efforts of the princess and his wife in the preparation of the Sunset Town Middle School. Even if he gave someone a hundred kilograms of truffle, it was nothing.

Lancaster and Eugenie wanted to continue playing in Sunset Town, and Wang Bo asked Kobe to cook with black truffles, which he didn't understand at all.

The black truffle has a bit of dried fruit aroma, and the taste is more complex. Wang Bo can't eat it very well, but others have a good taste.

In the eyes of white people, truffles are not only delicious, but also have special nutritional value.

Scientific research data show that black truffles are rich in protein, 18 kinds of amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, multivitamins, zinc, manganese, iron, calcium, phosphorus, selenium and other essential trace elements, as well as sphingolipids, cerebrosides, and ceramides , triterpenoids, androsterone, adenosine, truffle acid, sterols, truffle polysaccharides, truffle polypeptides and other metabolites have extremely high nutritional and health value.

Among them, 18 kinds of amino acids include 8 kinds of essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body. Androsterone has a remarkable effect of helping yang and regulating endocrine; sphingolipid compounds have obvious activities in preventing senile dementia, atherosclerosis and anti-tumor cytotoxicity ; Polysaccharides, polypeptides, and triterpenes have the functions of enhancing immunity, anti-aging, and anti-fatigue, and can be used for health care.

Especially in terms of enhancing immunity, truffles do have a very good effect. The favorite afternoon tea of ​​old British and French nobles and new rich people is truffle honey with coarse grain biscuits.

Sunset produces some of the best honey in New Zealand. Lancaster and Eugenie are addicted to the delicious rainbow honey, and they must buy some to take home.

Wang Bo was very generous in this regard, and said, "I still have quite a few in my storage room. How much do you need? Is fifty pounds enough for you?"

Rainbow honey has already entered the rich market in the Middle East, but Wang Bo's supply is relatively low, and he still understands the reason why rare things are more expensive.

In fact, there is a lot of honey produced by beehives now. The road to the birth of flowers is fifty miles away. The existence of the heart of the hive makes the bee colony continue to expand. I found a few nephews and nephews to help.

Now in summer and autumn, more than 20 kilograms of honey can be produced a day. The large beehive built by the bee colony is like a small castle, and it has become a new tourist attraction in Sunset Town. The scale of this beehive is too large. Bowen said he still wants to apply a Guinness World Record.

After listening to Wang Bo's words, both Princess Eugenie and Lancaster smiled, and the latter said: "That's great, we are going to pack it and send it back to someone. Of course, this needs to be inspected. As long as I pass the quarantine inspection, I can Send them to Buckingham Palace."

Honey can be sent back to others. There is not much truffles, so there is no need to do so, and New Zealand's black truffles are not very precious.

However, they should still be very good when combined with honey to make truffle honey.

Beeswax is needed to make truffle honey. Wang Bo cannot pretend to be generous. This thing is used to build honeycombs, ovaries and feed houses for bees.

You should know that the comb is a place for bees to store food, cultivate bees and inhabit clusters. Therefore, beeswax is not only a product of the bee colony, but also a necessary material for its survival and reproduction, and this thing cannot be taken out in large quantities.

Making truffle honey is technical work. At first glance, it is blended with honey and truffle oil. However, if you use too much truffle oil, the truffle honey will be greasy, and if you use less, it will be too sweet.

Therefore, fine salt and some spice juices are added to balance the taste.
