Chapter 110: Special Report on Village 17 (Updated) (Ch 17)

In the next few days.
The trade fair at Tsz Wan Shan Park remains as popular as ever. Although the number of local people is gradually decreasing, the number of foreign visitors is increasing, especially those from other places who are looking for cooperation, who are arriving one after another.
Even the high-end restaurants in Shanghai sent people over.
The average daily transaction volume reached as much as five to six million yuan.
Even though the purchasing volume of each high-end restaurant is only a dozen or twenty kilograms, there are still enough high-end restaurants in China.
Not only Western restaurants, but also some high-end Chinese restaurants or fusion and innovative restaurants are flocking to products such as white truffles and vanilla strawberries.
The Pearl River Delta region alone is home to hundreds of mid- to high-end restaurants, plus dozens of high-end restaurants in Hong Kong and Macao.
Dozens of kilograms of white truffles can be consumed in a day.
Currently, the 36 acres of smart greenhouses used for white truffle cultivation in Nanhu Farm are not put on the market all at once, but planted in batches, with about 3 acres available for harvest every month.
According to the first batch of white truffles harvested, the current three-layer planting density has a yield of about 2,793 kilograms per mu, which is in line with the expected yield estimate per mu.
Harvesting 3 acres a month means a yield of about 8,300 kilograms.
Therefore, as orders and contracts accumulated, the amount of white truffles left in the sales department became less and less.
Especially after high-end restaurants in the Yangtze River Delta region and Hong Kong and Macao joined the buying spree, the monthly orders have accumulated to nearly 5,000 kilograms.
In other words, the remaining quota is only more than 3,300 kilograms.
It was the sixth day of the trade fair.
High-end restaurants from Beijing and other major cities, as well as Japan, South Korea, and even some Southeast Asian countries also rushed over.
The remaining monthly quota of approximately 3,300 kilograms was divided up by these high-end restaurants.
Faced with the market’s enthusiasm, Jiang Miao and others were a little surprised, mainly because they did not expect the market to be so hungry.
As the head of the agricultural planting division, Lv Weibin was also shocked when he saw this sales briefing: “It seems that the sales of wild truffles in previous years have given us a false impression that the truffle market is only two or three tons per year. It is obvious that the output of wild truffles limits this market.”
“Yes!” Li Zhou also sighed.
Qin Hanming, the head of the Price Research Office of the Sales Department, also took out a market research analysis report:
“As of October 2025, there will be 4,122 Michelin-starred restaurants and 369 Black Pearl-rated restaurants worldwide. Considering that some of them overlap and that many high-end restaurants in China are not included, it is estimated that there will be more than 10,000 high-end restaurants in the world. Even if only half of them will purchase our white truffles, this market is still very large.”
“Han Ming, do you think half of the restaurants will purchase white truffles?” Lu Weibin asked curiously.
Qin Hanming nodded. “Yes, because truffles are basically standard condiments in high-end western restaurants. Among those Michelin restaurants, western restaurants account for the vast majority. In addition to those western restaurants in China that have strength but have not become Michelin, there are at least 5,000 high-end restaurants in the world that need to purchase white truffles.”
Based on this data, Lv Weibin did a quick calculation and made an estimate: “If each company consumes 1 kilogram of white truffles per day, that would be 5,000 kilograms per day. It seems that the production capacity we set before was too conservative.”
“Is it too late to expand production now?” Li Zhou asked. He didn’t want to miss this good opportunity.
Lv Weibin thought for a while, took out a piece of draft paper and did some calculations, then he looked up and said, “Sure, we can use the remaining 118 acres of smart greenhouses, and adjust the layout of the three-dimensional height to fit in four layers of three-dimensional planting layers, and we can produce 4.6 tons of white truffles every day.”
Qin Hanming nodded. “4.6 tons? That’s fine. Considering that we need to leave a way out for wild truffles, I think we can reduce production capacity appropriately during the four months when wild truffles are on the market, so as to maintain the market price.”
“Okay.” Lu Weibin had no objection to this.
“I agree too, Hanming. Please write a report and give it to me as soon as possible. I want to inform the boss about this matter.” As Qin Hanming’s immediate superior, Li Zhou instructed him some things.
“good!”
At noon that day, during the break for lunch.
Lu Weibin and Li Zhou reported to Jiang Miao on the sales performance of the trade fair and the plan to continue expanding the production of white truffles.
Jiang Miao read the report from the Price Research Office and nodded: “Okay, it seems that we must set up a market research department.”
He turned his head and looked at Jiang Haibo at the next table: “Haibo, separate the price research office from the sales department and set up a market research department, with Qin Hanming as the manager.”
Quickly swallowing the food in his mouth, Jiang Haibo replied, “Got it.”
After finishing the report, Li Zhou and Lu Weibin left without daring to disturb the boss and his wife.
Jiang Miao said helplessly: “It seems that plans cannot keep up with changes. How is your research on morels going?”
Lin Shuya, who was already speechless, took a sip of chicken soup and said, “It’s done. The yield per mu can reach about 8 tons, and the production cycle is 73 days. What should I do now?”
“Let me think about it…” Jiang Miao was also overwhelmed.
If mass production is to be carried out, a new smart greenhouse will have to be built.
If it is not mass-produced, this technology will be wasted.
After all, the yield per mu is 8 tons, the production cycle is only 73 days, and five crops can be produced a year, which means the yield per mu is about 40 tons.
Jiang Miao also thought of another situation. The company will definitely build more smart greenhouses in the future. The reason is very simple, because Shuya is still conducting research on other precious edible fungi.
Including Alstroemeria, Matsutake and Russula, these three edible fungi that cannot currently be cultivated artificially are all on Shuya’s research schedule.
Therefore, smart greenhouses have to be built sooner or later. The earlier they are built, the morels can be produced while waiting for the research progress of other precious edible fungi.
With this judgment, Jiang Miao made a decision: “I decided to mass-produce morels. Anyway, these smart greenhouses will not produce morels in the future, but can be used to cultivate other precious edible fungi.”
“Then you arrange it! I have already completed the technology, you can apply for a patent!” Shuya lowered her head and took a few mouthfuls of rice.
“Hmm.” Jiang Miao thought about it and felt that the new smart greenhouse could no longer be arranged in Nanhu Village, because the usable land in Nanhu Village had basically been contracted or leased by Hailufeng Company.
There is not much land available in the other villages of Magong Town.
For example, in Shiomachi Village, 70% of the flat land and gentle slopes in the entire village are fish ponds, the remaining 10% are residential areas and roads, 10% are farmland, and 10% are orchards.
Originally, there was a large piece of land in Jiang Miao’s hometown, Xinxiang. Unfortunately, more than 2,000 acres of fish ponds and farmland were expropriated a few years ago to build a branch of South China Normal University. Some time ago, a piece of land was taken away by Hailufeng Company as an employee community and office building. Now the remaining land is not only small, but also scattered.
The same is true for Jincheng Village, where a large area is occupied by real estate projects, hospitals, and residential areas. In addition, the land price in Jincheng Village is relatively high. This is another reason why Hailufeng Company did not contract or rent land around Jincheng Village.
After thinking it over, Jiang Miao turned his gaze towards the neighboring Hongcao Town.
This time he planned to invest in the construction of an intelligent greenhouse covering an area of ​​1,000 acres in the neighboring Hongcao Town. Anyway, the company has borrowed a large sum of money now, so it might as well be used.
After lunch.
Jiang Miao handed over the plan to invest in the construction of 1,000 acres of smart greenhouses in Hongcao Town to Jiang Haibo and Lu Weibin for implementation.
After all, nowadays, this kind of thing no longer needs to be done personally by him as the boss.
He has a social event and reception today and must go with Shuya.
When the exhibition just started a few days ago, Yang Yang, a fruit hunter who had worked with Li Zixuan once before, contacted Li Zixuan through his assistant and said that a host of an agricultural channel wanted to interview Hailufeng Company. Because Yang Yang had worked with that agricultural channel several times before, the other party contacted Li Zixuan through his connections.
Jiang Miao naturally would not object to this kind of promotion of his own company.
Both parties agreed to conduct the interview on October 7.
Today is the agreed time.
At around 2:00 p.m., the interview team chartered a car and arrived at Magong Town.
Soon Jiang Miao and Lin Shuya met the host and part-time reporter at the door. He got out of the car, followed by a cameraman, a drone operator, and an editor.
“Stationmaster Guo, welcome to Hailufeng Company.” Jiang Miao walked forward with a smile.
Stationmaster Guo, the host and reporter, also smiled and extended his hand: “Mr. Jiang is really young and promising.”
Shaking hands, Jiang Miao introduced the other party: “This is my wife, Lin Shuya, and she is also the developer of the new white truffle artificial cultivation technology.”
“Hello, Stationmaster Guo.” Lin Shuya also smiled and shook hands gently with the other party.
“Hello, Ms. Lin.” Stationmaster Guo’s hand touched hers and he smiled and praised her: “The technology developed by Ms. Lin is now well-known throughout the country. Soon the whole world will know that our country has realized the artificial cultivation technology of white truffles.”
“I still need to continue learning and working hard,” Lin Shuya replied modestly.
Jiang Miao interrupted, “Stationmaster Guo, let’s talk about the interview process first!”
“Haha, OK!”
In the reception room, Station Master Guo, Jiang Miao and Lin Shuya sat down and began to discuss the interview schedule.
The first thing we did was naturally indoor interviews, then we shot the experimental area and the old simple laboratory, then we shot the production process in the smart greenhouse, and finally we went to the exhibition in Tsz Wan Shan Park to shoot.
“We plan to do a special report on Hailufeng Company. The first report is about Ms. Lin’s white truffle artificial cultivation technology; the second report is about Mr. Jiang’s eel artificial breeding technology; the third report is about Hailufeng Company leading the villagers of Magong Town to the road of prosperity; the fourth report is about the new strawberry variety developed by Mr. Jiang.”
It is obvious that Stationmaster Guo came prepared this time. In fact, at the beginning, Stationmaster Guo only paid attention to the artificial cultivation technology of white truffles.
However, after he got to know Jiang Miao and Hailufeng Company in depth, he found that this company was very interesting and one report was not enough to summarize it. After internal discussions within their channel, they decided to make a series of special reports.
After all, I can complete several reports in one business trip, which makes me feel happy just thinking about it.
Jiang Miao smiled and nodded: “Sure, my wife and I can cooperate with the filming.”
“Then let’s discuss the interview questions and answers first.” Stationmaster Guo is also decisive in his work.
After discussing for more than an hour, they finally completed the questions and answers for four interview reports. After writing the dialogue lines, they began the first rehearsal.
Shuya was a little nervous in front of the camera at first, but after rehearsing twice, she became more natural and answered questions fluently.
As for Webmaster Guo, he is a professional.
Jiang Miao was full of confidence. After all, with the identification panel in hand, he didn’t need to worry about anything.
In just one afternoon, the indoor interview sessions for the four reports were all recorded.
Before the sun sets, everyone rushes to the Tsz Wan Shan Park Exhibition in the city.
As soon as we arrived here, we saw that the visitor flow was a little more than in the previous days, probably because today was the last day of the exhibition.
Stationmaster Guo quickly started chatting with a few young sales girls, and the filming crew also started working.
First is the opening remarks facing the inflatable arch bridge gate.
“Good evening, everyone. I am Stationmaster Guo from Village 17. Today we are going to talk about some luxury topics. How luxurious? Please follow Stationmaster Guo’s gaze…”
The scene changed.
We came to the truffle counter in the agricultural product exhibition area.
“Guys, do you know what this is? Maybe some of you have already guessed it. That’s right, this is the truffle known as the diamond in the kitchen. To be more precise, it’s the white truffle.”
“What is a white truffle? In simple terms, it’s a fungus that grows underground, usually near the roots of certain trees, like pine, oak and hazel.”
“Truffles require very harsh growing conditions and could not be cultivated artificially before, so their production is scarce, which makes them expensive. In Europe, truffles are considered one of the world’s three great delicacies, along with caviar and foie gras.”
“Truffles have a very high edible value and are rich in nutrients such as protein and amino acids. Due to their unique aroma and nutritional value, truffles are very popular in cooking and are often used to enhance the flavor of dishes. In other words, truffles are actually a condiment.”
“In our country, truffles are also called “pig arch fungus” or “motherless fruit”. Due to excessive mining in the past few years, the truffle production in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau has been declining year by year, but now it has come…”
Stationmaster Guo drew out his words, and the crew quickly turned the camera to the boxes of white truffles.
“It is the fully artificially cultivated white truffle produced by Hailufeng Company. You are in for a treat. Currently, Hailufeng Company’s white truffles are in mass production, and can produce about 8,300 kilograms per month.”
With the webmaster Guo’s rhythmic introduction, an opening report was completed.
The last set of shots.
“Next, Stationmaster Guo will lead everyone to learn about the past and present of white truffle artificial cultivation technology. See you next time.”
That evening, the opening video of the 17 Village Channel was simultaneously released on various platforms.
On the A B platform.
After watching Director Guo’s cursory report on the exhibition area in Tsz Wan Shan Park and the various products that flashed by, although the focus was on white truffles, other fruits and eels also had a few seconds of footage.
The comment section exploded instantly.
Fruit Hunter Yang Yang: [It seems that there is more material, and I can’t finish shooting it. ]
Boston Garden Pickup: [Awesome! White truffle freedom is just around the corner. 】
North American lecturer: [Only 8,300 kilograms of output per month, this amount is nothing. ]
Shushu, I’m back again: [Didn’t the above person check the data? 8,300 kg is more than twice the annual output of wild truffles, and they can produce it all year round, while wild truffles are only produced in winter. ]
Tian Dong loves to curse: [Great! But in addition to white truffles, the tomatoes, ginseng fruit and strawberries on site are also good. 】
Please call me handsome: [I just went to the site the day before yesterday and purchased a batch of white truffles. The price is still very high, 3,000 yuan per kilogram. You can also taste them for free on the spot. I ate several plates of truffle pasta and truffle omelette. The truffle tastes very good, no worse than Italian white truffles. ]
Eagle sauce who can play Go: [I just happened to pass by yesterday, but I didn’t enter. I feel like I missed out on 100 million! Woo woo woo…]
Husheng’s second account: [3,000 yuan per kilogram? My salary is enough to buy two kilograms, it’s really too cheap, hehe. ]
Science fiction fan Bulma: [Stationmaster Guo, you have learned bad things and even broke the chapter!!!]
Big-headed Eagle: [@户圣小号, you are taking my words out of context again. They also have small white truffles for 1,000 yuan per kilogram. And this thing is not a big carrot, it is just a high-end seasoning. If ordinary people really want to try it, they can buy 50 grams for 100 yuan.]
Hou Sai Lei: [The above Hu Sheng must have seen the price of Italian truffles, right? One kilogram costs 3,500 to 9,000 dollars. The white truffles of Hailufeng Company have already lowered the price by more than ten times. ]
As the reports went online on various platforms, the white truffles produced by Hailufeng Company became even more popular, and at one point soared to the third place in popularity on the Alibaba platform.
Following closely, Hailufeng Company’s online store also saw a surge in traffic.
The 1,000 samples of white truffles, priced at 80 yuan each, were sold out in less than an hour.
Soon, many local internet celebrities also took advantage of the popularity of Hailufeng Company’s other businesses and its expansion in Shanmei and southern Jiangxi.
This is the speed of information dissemination in the Internet age.
Some more professional bloggers even dug out three papers that Lin Shuya recently published in an agricultural journal.
“Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture” journal, that is, “Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture”.
The journal publishes peer-reviewed original research, reviews, mini-reviews, perspectives and spotlights, with a particular emphasis on interdisciplinary research in agriculture and food.
Those three papers are part of the research results on the artificial cultivation technology of white truffles, but the core technology has not been published.
As Lin Shuya’s identity was exposed, the announcement of her expulsion from Handong University and some things about her mentor Du Bolun were also exposed.
Especially some time ago, the incident of a doctoral student under Du Bolun jumping off a building instantly became a hot topic.
A top scientific researcher who could independently develop the artificial cultivation technology of white truffles was unexpectedly fired by Handong University. This huge contrast made many media outlets that like to make groundless accusations ecstatic, and they immediately concocted short articles overnight and prepared to start a group report.
