Chapter Thirty-Eight: Ten Taels of Silver Starts Shooting
To say that this glazed retort is indeed worthy of the imperial holy relic, and when the water in the retort began to boil, a trace of white mist gradually filled the retort.
Gradually, the water vapor became more and more abundant, and under the action of the surging air current, the white mist swirled up and down around the face rose, which was very beautiful.
In the midst of this exclamation, the frequency of Ruoshui's incitement gradually became irregular. The onlookers also seemed to sense her nervousness, and they all held their breath and waited for the miracle she was talking about.
Suddenly, Ruoshui suddenly stopped the movement in his hand and stood up all of a sudden.
"Look, everyone, this is the miracle I promised you!"
As soon as the lid of the glass retort was lifted, the steaming mist suddenly dispersed, accompanied by the rich fragrance of roses, like a fairy rising. However, the focus was not on the mist, and everyone naturally focused on the delicate and dripping rose.
The flower bones, which were still budding and waiting to be released, actually seemed to have been spelled, and the petals slowly bloomed layer by layer!
"It's on! It's on! ”
The first to notice the difference was the middle-aged man who had been grabbed by the tall man before, and he pointed to the retort and jumped up, screaming in a different tone.
Immediately there was a second person, a third person......
The screams came and went, and a look of shock and adoration appeared on everyone's faces.
The petals bloom very slowly at first, then faster and faster, until all the petals are stretched, and then gradually slower again. The whole flower was finally frozen at the moment of blooming, and the mist was all dispersed just right, and it was not until this moment that this gorgeous "performance" finally came to an end.
"Bring me the cup."
Ruoshui admired the obsessive expressions of the onlookers, and stretched out his hand to Bai Sulian, who was standing aside, to put the utensils, but he didn't expect to wait for a long time without any response. When I looked at it, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it turned out that the tall and strong three of them behind him were no different from the expressions of those onlookers.
The bowl used to hold the dim sum was placed in a conspicuous place next to his hand, and Ruoshui glanced at it and reached out to take it.
The lower part is bowl-shaped, but the upper part is as gentle as a saucer, and the size is just enough to make the face roses stand in the bowl, and the flowers are all exposed to the outside to be particularly conspicuous.
"A branch of red dew condenses incense, ** Wushan is in vain. This dim sum is beautiful, and the filling inside is as delicate as the face of a shy woman, and I named it 'Jiao Niang'. ”
Ruoshui picked up the bowl with one hand, and the lotus step moved lightly, shaking this "Jiao Niang" under the noses of the innermost visitors. Everyone's eyes were straight, and the freshly cooked dim sum was still steaming hot, and the fragrant floral fragrance was very strong.
Where had they ever seen such a beautiful dim sum, and it was even beyond their comprehension of the word dim sum.
I don't know who was the first to take the lead, and the applause like a tide, mixed with cheers, rang out for a long time.
Ruoshui was like an actor who had successfully performed a curtain call, and from time to time she bowed slightly in all directions, until the applause gradually stopped, and everyone thought she would say something, but she began to tell the tall and strong to pack up their things.
"Huh? Little lady, don't you sell this flower? ”
Seeing Ruoshui turn around to leave, a white and chubby man with a big belly rushed forward and blocked her way.
"Not for sale."
The unexpected and crisp refusal made the face of the person who asked the question suddenly unbearable.
"Aren't you a dim sum shop? Why don't you sell it even after it's made? I'm going to buy it now! How much do you say? ”
This person was wearing a brocade robe and a silk horse coat, and he looked like he was from a wealthy family. Especially when he immediately took out the purse in his sleeve again, and his heavy appearance estimated that there were several taels of silver in it.
So much money is already a huge amount of money in the eyes of ordinary poor people, so it is not unreasonable for this person to have a lot of money. But Ruoshui was smiling, and even the afterglow of the corner of his eyes never fell, obviously unmoved.
"These ...... It's all up to you! ”
Gritting his teeth fiercely, the man picked up his purse and lifted it all in front of Ruoshui's eyes.
"These ...... I'm afraid it's not enough~"
Ruoshui's expression remained unchanged, but he deliberately lowered his voice, lowered his head, and covered his mouth.
In fact, she didn't mean to ask for a sky-high price, nor did she look down on others, otherwise she wouldn't have spoken so lowly. But when this sentence is heard in other people's ears, the taste completely changes.
The man's eyes widened and he yelled.
"Sue you! What Lao Tzu has is money! You name a price! I can afford it! ”
Ruoshui looked around, and his face was sad. She also knows today's situation, I'm afraid that if she doesn't say a price, I'm afraid she won't be able to go, so she can only sigh and say leisurely.
"Ten taels of silver......
"Ten taels?!"
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this, and the man's face immediately changed. It's just that when he raised his eyes to look at Ruoshui again, he mistook the indifferent smile on Ruoshui's face for disdain, and then his brain exploded, and with red eyes, he stuffed the whole purse into the arms of the tall and strong.
"There are three taels of silver here, and I will send someone to deliver the rest of the money later, you have to sell this snack today if you don't sell it!"
Everyone was in an uproar again, it was rare to see a small dim sum asking for ten taels, but what was even more amazing was that there were really crazy people willing to pay this price.
"This big brother, I'm really embarrassed, I didn't finish what I said just now~ I was interrupted by you."
But even though the buyer was going to cut the flesh and bleed, Ruoshui still didn't mean to accept it when he saw it, but with an apologetic smile on his face, he still didn't nod his head and agree.
"I've given all the money, if you're really not at ease, I'll send a little guy to get it now, let's pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, right?"
I thought that Ruoshui was going to regret it, and the man replied angrily.
"I don't mean to disbelieve my eldest brother, it's just that my dim sum is not priced at ten taels, but at ten taels of silver."
"Shooting? What does it mean? ”
Everyone was at a loss.
"What does the start of the auction mean~ That is, I put the dim sum here and invite all the buyers who are interested in my dim sum to get together, and everyone will compete fairly, and the one with the highest price will win."
"Hey~ Listen to what this girl means, I don't think ten taels of silver is enough~ I even expect someone to pay a higher price, I see that she is making a fuss, I'm afraid that the guy who bought it just now for ten taels of silver will not buy it again."
For a while, there was a lot of discussion, and most of the people present expressed disdain for Ruoshui's unsatisfied asking price, and only a few well-dressed people showed thoughtful expressions, including the fat man who was the first to shout for it.
