Becoming a Rich Man from Siberia

Since the black truffles are ripe, it is natural to get them to taste.

The taste of black truffles is very special, and the smell varies according to each person's sense of smell.

Some people say that it smells similar to ordinary mushrooms, while others say it smells like garlic, soil, and rotten leaves. What's more, some people think it smells like heather. It's really varied.

In fact, authentic fresh black truffles have a very unique fragrance, which comes from the molecular structure of androstenone, but not everyone can smell it.

This fragrance is closer to sandalwood and vanilla.

Truffles use this fragrance to reproduce themselves. When animals find and eat it, they will send truffle spores from their feces, which will spread everywhere.

Eating truffles is very popular in the West, and it is also one of the three sacred objects of Western cuisine.

Ye Feng has also eaten truffles several times. The entrance is very light, and the fragrance of the food itself is not too exaggerated, but the smell is very unique. This light fragrance is enough to fascinate people.

There is also a legend that says that European truffle hunters can follow this smell to find truffles under the soil of the forest more than ten meters away.

Ye Feng picked some truffles and prepared to take them back to make some for everyone to taste.

Maybe it would be a good choice to have a truffle banquet at noon.

At eleven o'clock, Ye Feng began to cook truffles for everyone.

The first is an Italian dish. Ye Feng first cut the fresh black truffles into very thin slices with a slicer, and then swept them on the noodles with butter and Italian cheese.

This is eaten as a staple food at noon.

This way of eating is the traditional way to eat fresh black truffles, which directly retains the most original taste of black truffles.

However, some people are not used to it, and Ye Feng doesn't know if he is used to it. Now he is just trying it.

At the same time, he fried a few steaks, found a grinder, put the fresh black truffles in and crushed them into a paste. This black truffle is passed through olive oil, and then it can be directly used as a steak ingredient.

Ye Feng made steak purely because he was afraid that he would not be full later. After all, Western food is too small, and pasta is not filling.

Then, he used black truffles to stir-fry a traditional Chinese dish. Ye Feng showed off his knife skills by quickly cutting the black truffles, which were not big to begin with, into small dices and then putting them into the egg beater. He added a few eggs, turned on the egg beater, and stirred them well, allowing the egg liquid and black truffles to fully blend, and then frying them in a pan.

Sure enough, when frying, Ye Feng smelled a fragrance that ordinary scrambled eggs did not have.

The staple food and side dishes were all there, except for the soup.

This was the time to take out the most famous cream truffle soup.

Ye Feng took out some flour, and then fried it with butter until it was fragrant. When the butter aroma burst out, he added the black truffle paste prepared earlier. He made more black truffle paste, so he separated some of it for the soup.

After adding the black truffle paste, mix it well, stir it several times, and then add the soup originally prepared in the kitchen. The chicken soup was delicious, and then an appropriate amount of salt was added.

The soup in the pot was simmered over low heat for an hour before it could be served.

Fortunately, the kitchen is big, otherwise Ye Feng couldn't finish all the processes by himself. Although Aunt Irina was helping him, he still felt flustered.

The steak was sizzling in the pan and gradually turned brown.

At almost twelve o'clock, Ye Feng sprinkled some rosemary on the steak, and then smeared black truffle paste on the steak after frying for a few minutes, and mixed a little salt and pepper.

Fry both sides, and then it can be served.

Ye Feng looked at the truffle feast he had made, and a sense of accomplishment appeared on his face. It's quite complicated to do it this way. Cooking Western food is different from cooking Chinese food.

Western food focuses on the original taste and flavor of food, but our Chinese food pays attention to the taste after it is cooked, and the color, aroma and taste must be complete.

It's hard to say who is better or worse. Ye Feng is doing a good job in both styles of dishes now, and the people working on the farm are all blessed, so that Aunt Irina's Chinese food level is also soaring! However, after all, there are relatively few black truffles in Chinese food, so today I will just cook Western food.

After Ye Feng finished, he found Vera also outside the kitchen watching him cook.

He chuckled:

"What, do you want to learn a few tricks from watching me cook?"

Vera said:

"I am busy making money for you, so how can I have time to learn how to cook?"

"In the morning my father told me that truffles were ready to be picked, so I went to Irkutsk city and contacted a large supermarket and signed a supply agreement with them."

"Mark it as produced by our farm, and advertise our farm by the way!"

Ye Feng's face flashed with surprise. He didn't expect Vera to act so quickly. He was going to tell Vera.

Now that the direction of life of the Siberian people has been opened up, the output of the farm must also enter people's daily life.

So this black truffle is an opportunity.

The Russians also like to eat this kind of black truffle. After all, whoever has a high level of prestige can dominate the world.

In the early stage, one or two hundred kilograms a day is definitely enough to sell. After the production increases in the later stage, the price can be reduced.

Provide more supply.

There are also greenhouse vegetables that mature later. Ye Feng thinks there is still a lot of room for development. Vegetables grown in greenhouses cannot be exported. China's vegetable supply is very abundant.

Therefore, the main sales direction of greenhouse vegetables is local people. After occupying the local market, you can consider exporting, such as Irkutsk's neighboring state Buryatia and the Evenk Autonomous Region.

Ye Feng looked at Vera with appreciation and said:

"Good, now you have learned how to expand your territory! Keep it up!"

Aunt Irina watched the interaction between the two, feeling happy and worried.

She was happy that the relationship between her daughter and the boss seemed to have further developed, but she was worried that there was a perfect woman like Miss Anna between her daughter and the boss.

She didn't know how it would turn out in the end.

May God bless them!

Dinner was served at twelve o'clock. There were not many people on the farm today. The fishermen, pilots and Alexander all went to Irkutsk to transport the catch, so only a few women and Uncle Petrov were left.

Alexander's wife Aurora looked at the sumptuous lunch and smiled:

"It’s a pity that Alexander is so unlucky in eating, as the boss prepared such a large table of high-end dishes!"

"Black truffle! Tsk tsk, I have only eaten it a few times in my life, let alone a full black truffle banquet!"Chris said exaggeratedly.

After that, she mixed the black truffle pasta in front of her and took a bite.
