Truffles were mushrooms that grew in the ground. Because of their delicious taste, they became a luxury delicacy respected by European nobles. According to research, the smell emitted by truffles was similar to the smell of male hormones emitted by boars, so sows had a special liking for truffles. Sows have a very sensitive sense of smell and can smell truffles buried 25-30 cm deep in the ground from 6 meters away. However, sows had the problem of eating truffles. If the hunters did not stop them in time, the sows would crazily dig out the truffles and eat them. Therefore, most truffle hunters now use specially trained dogs to find truffles. As for boars, because of their similar smell to truffles, the French would use boars to find truffles. However, boars were easily attracted by the smell of sows, so most French people had now switched to well-trained dogs instead of boars.
The truffle pig was a special type of pig that was used to find truffles. Every autumn, women in the French countryside would drive pigs into the pine forest to help find truffles buried in the soil. The truffle grew underground without any trace of being exposed. Mature truffles release a scent that only animals with a sensitive sense of smell can smell. The scientists believed that it was a natural sex hormone. Truffle pigs were usually sows because the smell of truffles was similar to that of boars. However, pigs had a problem. They loved to eat truffles. Once the pigs smelled the scent of truffles, they would quickly eat the truffles. Therefore, training truffle pigs required patience and cost. Pigs could only produce truffles after they became adults, and there was only one time each year when they were in the best period of searching for truffles. Therefore, it was not easy to raise a truffle pig. In general, truffle pigs were close comrades and natural enemies of truffle hunters. How to improve their tacit understanding was a challenging task.
Raising pigs could get truffles from pigs. Pigs had to be released from the barn and meet certain conditions, such as being fed and not being in winter or rainy weather. Pigs had a certain probability of digging out truffles on the ground every day. In order to increase the probability of pigs finding truffles, they could often stroke the pigs to make them happy. In addition, fences or other obstacles could be used to limit the range of movement of pigs, so that truffles were concentrated in a certain area for easy search. Remember to collect truffles every day and sell them before you go to bed. Truffles were an animal product that could be obtained from pigs. The price was 625 gold.
There was a special relationship between sows and truffles. Sows were very sensitive to the smell of truffles and could smell truffles buried underground from a distance. This was because the smell of truffles was similar to the male hormones on boars, which aroused the interest of sows. However, sows also had the problem of eating truffles. If they were not stopped in time, they would eat the truffles they found. Therefore, people began to train hounds to replace sows to help find truffles. The hounds were trained to find truffles accurately and became the important partners of modern truffle hunters. Truffles were cherished by people because of their high nutritional value and unique taste. They were called "kitchen diamonds".
Well, there are a few. One is the theme of miscommunication. In a kitchen environment, it's crucial that everyone is on the same page. But often, there are misunderstandings between students or between students and instructors. For instance, a student might think they need to use a certain ingredient in a recipe, but the instructor meant something else. Another theme is the lack of resources.

Truffles were indeed used to feed pigs in the past. The truffles in Yunnan didn't taste good and had a faint taste. Only pigs could smell the scent of truffles buried underground. Therefore, almost no one in Yunnan liked to eat truffles. In the wild mushroom market in Yunnan, people preferred to buy other mushrooms such as Boletus, Termitycetes, Ganba, and Matsutake.
