Chapter 20: The Peach Club
In the mountains, the cold autumn and cool nights are moist and comfortable.
Zhou Yi sat on his newly tied bamboo and drained the water.
The autumn breeze blows in the distance, and the bamboo leaves by the lake fall one after another, falling clear and yellow, and the fine lines ripple.
The bamboo raft glides slowly in such a wind, in such a bamboo leaf, and on such a blue lake, and finally stops in the lake, letting the wind blow around, swaying and quiet.
Zhou Yi lay on such a bamboo raft, listening to the sound of the wind, the sound of the water, the birds flying, the clouds moving, a fishing line hanging like water, and the fish passing by leisurely, without looking at it.
Autumn in the mountains is extraordinarily quiet; The night in the mountains is exceptionally cool; The moonlight in the mountains, clear and cold, came too early......
Different from the purity in the mountains, in Baisha City, hundreds of kilometers away, high-rise buildings reach into the sky, which is a miracle created by the accumulation of 10,000 years of civilization!
The traffic is busy, never stopping! Here, there is no distinction between spring, summer, autumn and winter.
The Haotian Hotel occupies one of the tallest buildings in the city.
Before the sunset, the moon bends upstairs, illuminating the building with bose, illuminating a world of bright lights.
A luxury car that is rare on weekdays, at this time, drives into the underground parking lot of Haotian Hotel; The entire parking lot, at this moment, deduces a grand car show.
The real feast will never be in such a dark and empty bottom.
At the highest point of Haotian Hotel, the place where you can see all living beings at a glance, the lights are brilliant, and countless wealthy businessmen and elegant guests are staggered and have intimate conversations.
Soon, there will be a big banquet here.
But in fact, for most guests, this is the time when the focus of the banquet is, and the things that may bring surprises afterwards are secondary.
On the stage, singers and stars, who are rare to see on weekdays and are in high demand, have become the best background and foil here.
The sky is getting darker and darker, but the lights on the top floor are brighter and brighter.
Even if you don't do anything, standing by the transparent glass window, looking up at the Qingyue that is close at hand, and looking down at the busy ant creatures, it is worth the trip.
The big guys like to stand in such a place, drinking and drinking, although they still know very well that they can't stay in the tall building forever, they are just one of the ants, after all, they still have to run for life, busy for life, and still have to be down-to-earth after all......
After the excitement, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and the banquet finally enters the main topic.
As the host's words fell, a huge crystal glass cover, shining on a peach the size of a human head, slowly entered the place of the light gathering with the movement of the cart.
The lights of the whole audience dimmed, and under a red lampshade, the peaches in the entire crystal cover showed a magnificent color as red as blood; A blue light shot out, and the peach suddenly shone brighter than crystal, and the thin hairs shone in detail, shining with ten colors and five lights; A strong white light appeared, in an instant, thousands of blue waves shrouded everyone, infinite green, such as the light of life, gushing out from the "peach lamp", I don't know if it is a psychological effect, many people feel that this green light, illuminating people are extremely comfortable, the whole person is quiet and quiet, there is a faint peach fragrance, as if coming and going from the light, slowly seeping into the nose of people......
Everyone thought there was a delusion - no one believed that the peach on stage was a real peach.
There are no peaches that big.
There is no such gorgeous, dazzling, and brilliant peach that can change in brilliance under the light.
This is an inadvertent discovery of Daddy Zhang, but it has become the best opening ceremony of the "Peach Event".
"Many friends don't know what our 'Pan Tao Club' does. But what I want to say is that this event, as its name suggests, is a "peach meeting" and "peach tasting event". ”
"It's a real 'peach'!"
"If there is really a peach in this world in myths and legends, it can only be this one in front of me! If there is no peach in this world, then, now, it is in front of you! Father Zhang greedily sniffed the peach from the mysterious space that Zhang Chutian brought back, and said very excitedly.
It was precisely because of this peach that he temporarily changed the process of the Pan Tao Club and spoke on stage in person.
Li Xin, as Daddy Zhang's partner, naturally knew the process of the entire conference - the changes at this time made him frown slightly.
He looked at Daddy Zhang, looked at the peach in front of him, frowned, and didn't know what he was thinking.
He couldn't believe that such big peaches, those glorious peaches, were not works of art, but real edible peaches.
He didn't believe it.
In his opinion, the peaches he ate before are already the first in the world, and if there is anything better, it can only be the peach in the palace of the Queen Mother in the sky, as Old Man Zhang said!
Daddy Zhang looked at the dissent in the audience and didn't explain much.
He knew that there were things that didn't need to be explained and couldn't be refuted.
No matter what you have in mind, that thing is there, that thing that you can't imagine is standing quietly, silently accepting any doubts.
Its existence has made any voice powerless.
Daddy Zhang turned around on the crystal box, and a crystal clear outfit bloomed like a flower, and what bloomed was a clear lotus; And the fairy peach stood on the lotus canopy in the center of the crystal lotus.
His hand trembled, because this peach was so beautiful, he couldn't use any words to describe how wonderful this fairy peach with green leaves and clear dew was, perhaps a kind of hidden temperament - a word "beauty" already seemed abrupt and thin, so thin that he couldn't bear to go under the knife.
The incense, not strong, very light, but quietly, covered this wide venue, so that the whole banquet was also quiet, and it was rare to calm down in the bright lights, waiting for the judgment of the knife.
This fragrance resisted Daddy Zhang more gently, begging him not to make that cruel knife - even Daddy Zhang didn't know whether he was hallucinating or if this peach was really spiritual.
Finally, he decisively cut it, and the peach was incomplete, revealing a clear and transparent color, which was clearer green and dazzling green than the jade of emerald! The spilled juice, like splashing blood, seemed cruel and decisive, making countless people present feel unbearable and abrupt - they forgot their original intentions, just thinking, why go under the knife?
A strange fragrance, gushing out of the transparent peach flesh, endlessly, enveloping the entire enclosed space, covering people breathlessly, it seems to be the last counterattack of this fairy peach, it is a curse.
However, she is always kind, so kind that even if she is cut off and eaten, she is still unwilling to hurt the living beings after all, she is willing to offer her body to bring a trace of purity, a trace of kindness and a trace of agility to some living beings.
For some reason, no one spoke, some people breathed greedily in the air, some people quietly stared at the cut peach, and some people put their hands together and put them on their chests...... Everything is immersed in an inexplicable atmosphere, like an ancient ritual.
The peach was divided, and on each plate, there was a thin slice, but even so, not everyone could enjoy this spiritual object, or rather, only a very small number of people could enjoy this spiritual object.
Daddy Zhang only heard about the taste of this thing from the mouth of the child, but he never tried it.
He carefully scooped up a small spoonful of meat-juice and let it soak, not knowing when it slipped into his throat, into his stomach, into the depths of his body and soul......
As in prayer, as in Sunnah, so people are quiet.
The person who eats it, quietly, licks it a little, feels the beauty of it, and lets the juice soak; Those who didn't eat it, smelling the fragrance that was no longer strong, but the slightest wisp of incense penetrated into their noses, did not envy it, and just looked at it - they were also "praying"!
After eating a peach, no one knows when it will be.
On weekdays, they race against time, time is a huge amount of money, surprisingly, enjoy this quiet flowing time, see this bright wine and green, as the fairy mansion in the mountains, and rarely sink down, feel the lights of the city, feel the vastness of the moonlight, feel the dimness of the stars, and feel the fog of personnel......
A feast, at this point, suddenly quieted down.
It's different from what everyone imagined, but it makes everyone satisfied.
In such an atmosphere, the follow-up auction cannot be carried out, but it is enough for Daddy Zhang, for Li Xin, and for everyone present......
……
Different from the hustle and bustle of the past, a huge event, such a wonderful thing, may not shock the world, but it will certainly cause a lively enough discussion, will cause those gossips and vanities to show off.
But none of that.
Everything was as usual, as if nothing had happened.
So the attendees, for some reason, were silent, as if they were using silence to protect something, to guard something.
The stars at the event are still so dazzling and still entertained by everyone, but the "peach" that brought the greatest shock disappeared into everyone's words and disappeared at all.
Everyone, including the journalists who were there, the people who had been invited to create the momentum, silenced.
The fragrance of peach lingers in everyone's nose.
However, for some reason, everyone felt that the banquet was not so real, everything was illusory, and whenever they resorted to their mouths, they always felt that they didn't know how to say it, and their hearts were empty.
Although it did not cause a huge upsurge as expected, Daddy Zhang didn't care, because the "silent people" who attended the meeting, including those model stars, called to snap up the peaches in Daddy Zhang's hand.
Peaches looked a lot, and the price was expensive enough, but no one could imagine how much money those people had in their hands, and how crazy those people were waving checks.
peaches from 10,000 to 50,000; From sale, to limited edition; No one knows why such a small peach has caused so many people to go crazy.
There is finally no airtight wall in the world.
The sky-high price of peaches has finally entered the public's sight.
Some people think that 50,000 yuan a peach is too expensive; But for some people, there are too few peaches, and there are not enough to sell, distribute, or eat.
No matter how big this turmoil is, because peaches are scarce, they have long been ordered out, and everyone who can't find the real thing is regarded as a fallacy and buried the news in the sea of letters.
A storm, before it even began, had disappeared strangely and calmly......
