After eating the peanuts for a while, Ding Ling's parents were busy setting up the barbecue grill. Li Chengqian's parents went to the lake to try fishing, while Ding Ling stayed behind to help Li Chengqian.

She went over the things Li Chengqian found on the mountain.

"Li Chengqian, what's this? Apricot mushrooms? How do you eat them?" Ding Ling opened the bag containing the matsutakes and asked curiously as she looked at the 15 cm long matsutakes.

"These are matsutakes, put them on a skewer and roast." Li Chengqian didn't know how to eat them either, but when they were by the barbecue grill, he supposed anything could be skewered and roasted. Surely it won't go wrong.

"Oh!"

After a while, Ding Ling finished skewering all the matsutakes and opened the bag containing the white truffles. Smelling the stench from the bag, she frowned. "Eh, Li Chengqian, what are these? Why is it so smelly!"

"These are white truffles. It's good stuff. They smell bad but taste good!" Li Chengqian explained.

"Is that so? I've never eaten it before. I want to have a good taste after I'm done roasting it." Ding Ling frowned and tried to get used to the special taste of white truffles.

"En, this is relatively rare. I found them all on the mountain. In a while, I'll call Uncle and Auntie over to taste it." Li Chengqian said as he placed the charcoal in the middle of the grill. After trying very hard, he finally started the fire.

"Li Chengqian, should I slice the radish?" At this time, Ding Ling took out a piece of ginseng from the bag.

"Leave it for the time being." Li Chengqian's lips twitched. This was clearly ginseng, ok? It was just a little bigger!

...

There were a lot of people in Peach Blossom Valley today. One of them was especially fat. His stomach was three times the size of an ordinary person's.

He was Huang Daliang, the owner and head chef of Tianyi Daliang Restaurant. His Western food was superb. He was undoubtedly number one in Tianyi City.

In addition to serving Western cuisine, his restaurant also dealt with some precious ingredients.

"Why does it smell like white truffles?" Huang Daliang sniffed hard. The unique smell of truffles was especially strong, even more, fragrant than the white truffles he had just spent a lot of money to import.

"It smells so good. Who's so rich to bring white truffles to Peach Blossom Mountain for barbecue?" Huang Daliang exclaimed. He sniffed hard again, trying to trace the source of the smell.

"This is definitely the smell of top-notch white truffles. It's even better than the batch I just bought. I have to ask this person where he bought it." Huang Daliang followed the smell and walked over. After taking a few steps, he saw Li Chengqian and Ding Ling preparing the food.

When he saw the fist-sized white truffle with uneven surfaces, Huang Daliang's breathing quickened. "This is the highest-grade white truffle!"

Then, he saw Ding Ling wrap the white truffle in tin foil and place it beside the grill.

The plan was for whoever wanted to eat it later to just place it directly over the fire to roast.

"Decadence! What decadence! To barbecue a top-grade white truffle. If it were left to me I would have made a luxurious feast out of it." Huang Daliang was heartbroken. It would have been fine if there was only one white truffle, but there were still nine more beside it. It looked like they would also be handled in the same manner!
