The two adults were so excited for different reasons.

That Lord Zhang may simply think that this snack is novel and rare, but that Lord Fu is like a fat man, and he can see its value at a glance. And he himself is involved in the process of increasing its value.

First, the two "Jiao Niang" were brought to the back kitchen to be packaged, and Ruoshui moved the fine food box that was temporarily put aside to the center of the booth, and slowly said in warm applause.

"This is the lot of this auction, please take a look."

Removing the lid of the food box, Ruoshui first took it around in front of the auditorium in the hall, and then ordered Xiao Yong to carry it into the flower hall, and she returned to the back of the counter, pulling out a delicate small hammer and a round lacquered, palm-sized wooden board from the drawer.

When Xiao Yong came out of the flower hall, she raised a small hammer and knocked it on the wooden board a few times, and shouted loudly.

"Everyone, let's be quiet, let me first elaborate on the lots and rules of this auction. This lot is the latest high-end dim sum launched by my flower shop - 'Jiao Niang', this kind of dim sum has a complex process and a unique and exquisite shape, which is the best choice for gifts, of course, as a dim sum first of all, its taste is impeccable, but the premise is that you are willing to eat it. ”

Ruoshui winked mischievously when he said this, and everyone burst into laughter.

"This auction will adopt the method of increasing the price of the auction, the reserve price of the lot is ten taels, and the price increase is not less than one tael each time, and no one will bid in a stick of incense, and I will start to bid, and no one will respond to the price after three quotations, and the hammer will be dropped to show the transaction."

After the rules were announced, the whole hall was buzzing, and everyone was discussing it one after another, obviously full of curiosity about this new way of selling.

"If you have any doubts about these rules, please do your best, because in order to ensure the fairness and openness of the auction, I will not answer any questions after the auction has begun. In addition, if you do not maliciously collude in bidding, obstruct others from bidding, and obstruct my auctioneers, you will be directly disqualified from bidding. ”

"In addition, all bidders must bid carefully, and once the price is increased or accepted, there is no repentance! In the end, the successful bidder must come up with the full transaction price on the spot, and if the money is insufficient, he must issue an IOU approved by the government, draw a pledge in his own hand, and promise to return the full amount within seven days. ”

After a series of stern warnings, Ruoshui's honest and unceremonious tone suddenly shocked the audience. The chattering discussion was long gone, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to react. In the end, it was Master Fu Shi Ran who was upstairs who walked to the fence and said loudly to the hall downstairs.

"Miss Xiao is really courageous, and the rules of this auction are very watertight. That's it~ This official has received your work as an inspector, and anyone who dares to disobey the auction rules formulated by Huadianfang will be severely punished! ”

No matter what kind of mentality Lord Fu came out of to say this, it was tantamount to nectar after a long drought for Ruoshui, and what she needed now was this kind of deterrent effect.

"The little woman thanked the adults for their love."

Ruoshui blessed Master Fu upstairs, and then Zhengse continued.

"There is a wooden sign on the table of all bidders, and bidders need to write the price in lime on the wooden sign and insert it into a bamboo basket hanging above their heads in the room.

After announcing the last rule, and once again confirming that everyone had no objections, Ruoshui cleared his throat and announced it loudly.

"The first auction of Huadianfang is now open! Xiao Yong lights incense! The reserve price is ten taels, can anyone increase the price? ”

As Ruoshui's voice fell, wisps of white smoke slowly floated up, and the entire venue suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were glued to the layers of curtains, but there was never a single wooden board exposed.

As the minutes passed, the ashes fell into the censer one by one, and it was only a very short part of the burning, but there was still no movement behind the curtain. Everyone became nervous, especially Bai Sulian, who was the auctioneer, and her face was already pale.

However, the one who should have been the most anxious was the appearance of an old god, leaning on the counter, not even looking at the curtain, with an inexplicably relaxed faint smile on his face, as if he didn't feel the tension of the scene at all.

Finally, all the incense ash was gone, and only a little dark red light remained, which was about to be extinguished in a flash. Bai Sulian grabbed Ruoshui's sleeve and asked in a low voice with a trembling cry.

"What to do? What if no one bids? ”

"Don't worry~Someone is more anxious than us~"

Ruoshui smiled lightly and patted the back of Bai Sulian's hand, picked up a small hammer and hung it on the wooden board, and suddenly shouted loudly.

"If there is no bid after three bids, the lot will be unsold and will no longer be sold."

"No one bids for the first time!"

The hammer landed heavily on the plank, making a dull dull sound.

The hammer seemed to have fallen on Bai Sulian's body, her hand trembled violently, and her face turned a little paler.

"No one bids for the second time!"

Still no one answered, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense.

"No bidders ......"

"Look! Someone's showing cards! ”

Before Ruoshui's last offer was finished, the audience suddenly burst into an exclamation, and a large piece of wooden signs suddenly appeared neatly behind the curtain, on which were the words "Shiyi" written in white lime.

Bai Sulian finally let go in one breath, her feet softened, and her body tilted to the side. The tall and strong eyes standing behind her were quick and fast, and they held her in their arms, half-supporting and half-hugging.

Men and women don't kiss, the two only touched for a moment, and then they hurriedly let go of their hands. Bai Sulian's feet were still sore, so she hurriedly stretched out her hand and pulled Ruoshui, so that she could stand firmly, but her face had quickly turned from pale to flushed, tall and strong was also a little cramped, and there was a faint hint of red under her dark skin.

Everyone present focused on the wooden sign, and no one saw the small episode on the counter, only Ruoshui, who was already a little absent-minded, saw it really. She swept her gaze back and forth between Bai Sulian and Gao Dazhuang a few times, didn't say anything, just smiled narrowly, and then turned her attention back to the auction.

"Bidder No. 5 was the earliest, eleven taels - who else bid?"

If the sound of water has not fallen, except for the wooden sign in the fifth room, the other wooden signs have been quickly removed. Soon, a new round of wooden signs with the words "Pick Up" were revealed, and the time was almost different, which was quite a test of Ruoshui's eyesight.

"Bid twelve taels on the tenth—"
