Before the soldiers and horses arrived, food and fodder had to go first. Alessandro arranged for three chefs and three people responsible for daily necessities and liaisons to arrive at the accommodation to ensure smooth logistics, so they rushed to the castle without any worries.
When the car of Roberto and his entourage drove outside the castle, the Ferrari family were already waiting in front of the castle, and the owner of the castle was also outside to greet them.
The owners of the castle are an old couple in their sixties, whose surname is Rossi. They are very cheerful and optimistic. They have several children in their family. Only one couple likes to run their own farm and ranch, while the other children pursue their favorite careers.
Because the farm and pasture are very wide, they rent out part of it to others and manage part of it themselves.
The son and his wife of the host couple went to take care of the grape picking work. The old couple welcomed the guests and shook hands with them. When they welcomed the little oriental girl, the hostess was so excited that the girl called her "Grandma Rosie". She has a fat body.
It’s almost time to fly, so be sure to take the kids and guests to have afternoon tea.
The hospitality was so great that everyone went to the castle hall where the owner lived to have afternoon tea and taste wine. After that, the owner personally accompanied the guests to see the guest rooms. The castle was very wide. The guest rooms were on the second floor. There were living rooms, restaurants, cafes and large and small kitchens on the first floor.
All are loaned to guests for free use.
Roberto, Milo, and Le each occupy a guest room, Ferrari and his son share a room, and the other three share a room. The head chef and Enzo the old butler share a guest room; Roberto and Ferrari’s father’s room is the same.
Next door, little Le's classmate's room is next to Roberto's, Milo's room is next to Le's classmate, and the rooms of the Ferrari family's bodyguards are naturally next to the master and the young master.
The guest room is about ten square meters, clean and tidy, with all supplies neatly placed. The bed is very wide and can sleep three people.
It was still early, so Le Yun packed her luggage and went downstairs, dragging handsome Milo to look at the scenery outside the castle. In fact, she was scouting which direction had the strongest fragrance and where there were more truffles.
The child was very active, so Milo was very willing to risk his life to accompany the gentleman. He walked with the little guy along the road outside the castle, wandering here and there until it was dark for more than seven days before returning.
At dinner time, Mr. Ferrari invited Mr. and Mrs. Rossi to have dinner with him. Mr. and Mrs. Rossi dined with the workers in the winery and did not return to the castle.
Mr. and Mrs. Rossi happily accepted the invitation and had a very lively conversation with the guests. Milo and his classmates asked for advice on the ownership of various farms and pastures that they had written down when they went to see the scenery. Two farming and pastoral areas were owned by Rossi.
They are run by themselves, two are rented out, and a few are owned by other people.
Milo expressed that he wanted to dig truffles in a certain farming and pastoral area, and asked the old couple to help contact the owner. The old couple happily agreed to help. After dinner, they called the farmer and rancher. They had a great conversation and made an appointment to send the two guests off tomorrow morning.
Go to a certain farm to dig truffles.
When Le students excitedly went to dig for truffles, on the same day, Bastian, John, Michael, Philip, Thranduil and Earl Ryan set off from country F and arrived in Florence in the afternoon.
, went to stay in different places, and in the evening, the Count of Ares, who had returned to his family to search for treasures, also arrived.
Several counts waited until midnight and turned into bats to go out for a walk and met at the predetermined place. No one found the girl, which meant that she should have gone to the place where truffles were dug.
The counts went back to their respective hotels and waited for dawn. People in Florence immediately rented cars after going to work and drove to Tuscany.
The country has a Mediterranean climate, with rainy, wet and cold winters. That day is the last day of October, and it is also the eve of Halloween every year in Europe.
While many people were preparing for Halloween, Leyun and Milo had breakfast, each with a special truffle-digging hoe and a bag, and they went to find the owner of another farm with Grandma Rosi.
Grandma Rosi drove the two lovely children to the gate of a certain farm they mentioned. The owner of the farm was already waiting at the door and communicated with the grandma for a while. Because Mrs. Rosi was the guarantee, they did not ask for their IDs.
First, we collected US$10,000 in advance, gave the permit, and let the two of them enter the farm and ranch.
During the truffle digging season, farmers and ranchers will hire guards to prevent others from sneaking into the ranch to dig for truffles. The guards will patrol and sometimes check the passes issued by the farm. Those who do not have a pass will break into the ranch to dig truffles.
, fined if caught.
Grandma Rosie sent the two children back to the castle, and then she and her husband took out a pine-hunting dog, and sent a group of men to her farm and pasture. She personally taught the dog how to command the dog to look for truffles, and then handed the dog over.
Give it to Mr. Ferrari and let them take the dog to look for truffles.
While Roberto and Alessandro took their dogs and accompanied Amedeo in a wheelchair to look for truffles, Le Yun and Milo, handsome guys, ran to a place far away from the farm gate to start looking for truffles.
Some trees in farms and pastures are planted to provide a place for truffles to grow. They are arranged in regular rows, with wide gaps between the rows, and the surface is grass.
Milo was a hard laborer. He followed the children. The little boy sniffed for a while, ran to a place, picked up a sharp hoe, dug two hoe, and made a mark: "Miro, dig down, this is yours."
I dug a lot of truffles and I will make your favorite dumplings and biscuits."
"For my share, can you come to my house and make it?" Milo's eyes sparkled.
"No problem, it's agreed that if you dig out five, you can only get one for yourself, and we won't give you any more."
"Okay, I know, just look for it and I'll start working." Milo put on gauze gloves, waved the hoe and started to work as a digger.
There were coolies to help with the work. Le Yun spread her short legs and ran again. After running for more than ten meters, she dug two hoes to mark the scented area and told Milo the direction. She ran again and squatted a few meters away.
She dug her lower body into the ground by herself. She was born into farm work, and her nose was very sensitive. She could tell whether she had found truffles by smell when she broke through the soil, so she didn't have to worry about it and dug hard.
I dug down about twenty centimeters deep, peeled away the soil, and found a corner of a truffle that was colored like a potato. White truffles are undoubtedly a very strange fungus. They don't need photosynthesis when buried in the soil. Their color and skin are like potatoes, with many ridges.
The head is like a lump.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When you see a lump, you pry the soil around it, and soon you pry out a big lump that is bigger than a rice bowl for eating. It is very light.
, because it is still covered in soil, it has a sense of weight.
Le Yun didn't even take a closer look. She took advantage of the empty space where no one was around to backfill the soil. She picked up the hoe and ran to another place a few meters away to dig a hole with the hoe. When it was more than ten centimeters deep, she found a hole as big as an adult man's fist.
The lumps were thrown back into the space, filled with soil, and then moved to another place.
Milo was afraid of destroying the truffles that the children had finally found, so he dug more than ten centimeters deep instead of digging slowly. He dug for a while and dug up the soil until it was about thirty centimeters deep and found it. He carefully dug out the soil and dug out a truffle.
To make a big hole, dig out the truffles into a piece as big as a duck egg, remove some soil, put it in a self-sealing bag and put it back in your backpack. If you don't backfill it all carefully, roughly put the soil back into the big hole.
After backfilling the soil for a while, I ran to find the place marked by Xiao Lele and dug hard until it was more than 20 centimeters deep and dug out a small lump as big as an egg.
Little Lele's nose was so good that she didn't miss two places. Milo happily ran to find the child with the results of his victory. When he found her, she was digging hard, and in a moment she pried out a small lump on her index finger. She didn't say anything.
He said, bury it in the bottom of the soil, backfill the soil, bury the hole well, and also restore the turf that was dug up.
"Xiao Lele, you finally dug it out, why did you put it back again?" Milo was very surprised. The truffle was a bit small, but it was still a truffle anyway. Why did the child plant it back again?
"It hasn't grown up yet. It would be a pity to dig up such a small one. Plant it again and let it continue to grow."
"Others will poach it if they find it."
"I couldn't bear to take away such a small inoculum. I didn't see anyone else finding it and digging it up, so I don't feel bad." Le Yun patted the soil in her hands and asked how big the truffles dug by the handsome guy Milo were.
Milo took out the two truffles he dug. The child grinned happily and took out a lump as big as an egg from his backpack. He smiled happily and said, "Miro, we have gained something. We are very lucky."
, work hard for our bread!”
"For the bread, come on!" Milo clenched his fists happily.
Putting away the truffles, the two of them got to work excitedly. Classmate Le was responsible for the search. He asked Milo to dig for it first, then found it and marked it, and then he went to look for it himself. Sometimes the distance was too far and was not reserved for the handsome Milo.
Take action.
There was dew in the farm and pasture in the morning, and the humidity was very high. The two of them wore moisture-proof mountaineering clothes, so they were not afraid of getting wet. It was not until about nine o'clock in the morning that the gray sky clouds dispersed and the fog began to clear, showing signs of clearing up.
By around nine o'clock, the ground is drier, and truffle diggers are flocking to the forest and reserved farms and pastures in large numbers to look for truffles.
The farm where Miro and his children were digging for truffles also had an influx of seven or eight people experiencing pine hunting, leading pine hunting dogs, and one person was holding a pig. The farmers and ranches were full of people looking for truffles. Occasionally, they met with Miro or an oriental girl.
When we met, we were surprised to see that they didn't have a pine-hunting dog or a truffle-hunting pig. Fortunately, we were relieved to see that the bags they were carrying only contained three or two truffles.
Milo was even more surprised. He found that sometimes the children were not digging for truffles. She was digging for grass roots. She didn't know what kind of grass roots they were. She collected them as precious as truffles.
The little kid knew plants and had different hobbies. Milo struggled for a long time. He simply pretended not to see what she was doing, worked hard, tried to complete the work in a short time, and then asked the children to find truffles to prevent her from digging for grass roots.
.
The two friends, one big and one small, tried to avoid other people and went to places where there were few people. One was responsible for looking for truffles based on smell, and the other was digging happily. They happily carried out the cleaning work. They ate the bread and ham they brought for lunch and drank milk.
Or mineral water, rest for an hour, and look for truffles with great excitement.
