Truffle lover sees huge potential in Yunnan

Hua Lifu was not sure if the first truffle auction dinner in China would be held as scheduled until one week before it was due to take place.

In early August, his team dug up two tuber melanosporum in Australia that both weighed more than 300 grams. That made the dinner happen.

On the night of Aug 12, Hua brought the two truffles to the auction dinner at Feast restaurant in Beijing.
