The last pound, out of print!

Hearing Blanche's introduction, all the merchants were red-eyed.

If there is no longer a chance, they will pity it and will envy.

But now there is another opportunity in front of them, and they know that if they don't grasp it, they will regret it!

"The last pound of refined salt, the starting price - ten gold coins!"

Blanche's excited voice sounded again, and before she finished speaking, the scene suddenly boiled.

"One hundred and fifty gold coins!"

The first bid went straight to the previous highest price, but this time it didn't scare anyone.

"One hundred and sixty gold coins!"

"One hundred and seventy gold coins!"

"One hundred and seventy-five gold coins!"

"One hundred and eighty-five gold coins!"

“……”

Most of the businessmen were red-eyed and didn't give in.

A drop of cold sweat oozed from Brown's forehead, and he was glad that he had started early, otherwise he would have been the one with a red face and a thick neck at this time.

"Two hundred gold coins!"

As soon as the high price of 200 gold coins was called, the merchants at the scene also calmed down a lot.

But that doesn't stop them from raising the price!

"Two hundred and ten gold coins!"

"Two hundred and twenty gold coins!"

"Two hundred and twenty-five gold coins!"

“……”

The frequency of price increases is getting slower and the magnitude of the price increase is getting smaller and smaller.

Zhang Feng, who was watching the play on the sidelines, knew that this should be almost their limit.

In the end, the price was set at two hundred and forty gold coins.

"Two hundred and forty gold coins at a time"

"Two hundred and forty gold coins twice"

"Two hundred and forty gold coins three times"

Boom!

"Deal!"

As Blanche's small wooden hammer fell, the auction for the third piece of refined salt finally ended.

Whether they bid or not, these businessmen are sweating, which is so exciting!

Even for some businessmen, it is the first time to spend money so purely, and this feeling is really not felt in ordinary times.

"Congratulations to Mr. Terry, for bidding for the last catty of refined salt at the price of two hundred and forty gold coins!"

Papapa, pa!

This time, without Zhang Feng taking the lead, the businessmen themselves began to applaud.

Terry, a somewhat thin cloth merchant, was one of the few merchants who had heard the news from his men and had rushed over from other cities.

Terry's face turned a little red, and after he handed over the gold coins and received the "last catty" of refined salt, he finally showed a satisfied smile.

Zhang Feng looked at him, Zhang Feng also smiled very satisfied, only three catties of salt, and he had already sold 490 gold coins!

According to Zhang Feng's estimate of today's prices, about six or seven hundred gold coins can bring the current Red Leaf City back to life, in other words, just this small auction can earn back all the food consumed by Red Leaf City for half a year!

Although Zhang Feng felt that if the news of the auction was fermented for another ten days and half a month, the effect would definitely be better, but there was no need, this time it was just a test of the waters, and earning enough food for Red Leaf City was only a secondary purpose, and the main purpose was to start the reputation of Red Leaf City!

Compared with gold coins, Zhang Feng needs talents more!

"All the refined salt has been sold, congratulations again to Lord Valen, Lord Brown and Lord Terry!"

Seeing that everyone's excitement had almost subsided, Blanche immediately spoke again.

Papapa, pa!

"But don't be disappointed, gentlemen who haven't harvested yet, because the items behind us are even more precious and rare!"

Hearing that there were still bidding items, and they were even rarer, the merchants were attracted to attention, and Brown was even more incredulous, he thought that the auction had ended after the three catties of refined salt were sold, but he didn't expect that there would be more!

And to say more precious and rare, really fake?

"So, we're going to present our fourth bid!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Blanche roared excitedly.

Looking at the tray that was brought up again, everyone looked forward to it.

Blanche didn't sell it, and directly lifted the red cloth.

"This ......"

Looking at the same small bowl in the tray and the same white crystals in the small bowl, everyone was a little confused, didn't they say that the last pound of refined salt was good, how could there be it?

"Guys, this isn't refined salt!"

Blanche smiled mysteriously, and then Miss Manners stepped off the stage with the tray and came to the crowd of merchants.

Only then did they realize that the contents of the bowl this time were different from the previous refined salt.

Terry even took out the refined salt he had just photographed for comparison, and found that the particles of refined salt were smaller, and this thing was slightly larger.

"You can taste it and then decide whether or not to bid."

There were also a dozen small wooden spoons on the tray, the shallow and small ones.

Each of the merchants consciously took a spoon and stared curiously at the mysterious white crystal, and even the hostess who was close at hand couldn't even appreciate it.

"Huh? This! ”

Valen was the first to taste it, and as soon as he ate it, his face suddenly changed, as if he had eaten something terrible.

Brown was not polite either, and dug straight into a spoonful.

"Sugar! It's sugar! ”

Brown's eyes lit up.

His words made the other businessmen impatient.

"Oh my God, it's so sweet!"

"Wow! Sweet and pure! ”

"It's really sugar, but it's not black......"

"It's not impossible that salt can be made so delicately, and sugar can be made like this."

After seeing that everyone had tasted a bite, Blanche hurriedly motioned for Miss Manners to come back, and every bite was a gold coin!

"That's right, this is sugar, we call it 'white sugar', I believe I don't need to say much about sugar, everyone is a businessman, and they must know more than me, but I dare to say that this kind of white sugar, everyone must have never seen it!"

Blanche's voice was unequivocal and full of confidence.

"Indeed, now the sugar in our Buck Kingdom is imported from far away, and it is all the kind of black cone sugar, although it has a sweet taste, but it also has a bitter taste, and the astringency ......"

"I've been a businessman for so many years, and I've never seen this kind of white sugar!"

"Black cone sugar is already very expensive, this delicate white sugar ......"

"So, half a catty of white sugar, the starting price - a hundred gold coins! By the way, this white sugar is only half a catty! ”

Blanche's passionate voice rang out again.

This time, the starting price of white sugar was directly 100 gold coins, and the final transaction price of the first refined salt was only 100 gold coins!

But hearing such a high starting price, the businessmen present were not the slightest surprise, sugar is originally a luxury, and white sugar is a luxury among luxury goods, and this starting price is reasonable.

"Two hundred gold coins!"

Valen was the first to bid.

"Two hundred and fifty gold coins!"

Terry was not to be outdone, although he had just spent two hundred and forty gold coins to buy a catty of refined salt, but for this half catty of white sugar, he still wanted to fight for it.

"Two hundred and eighty gold coins!"

“……”

"Three hundred and twenty gold coins!"

Brown is also in contention, and a new battle is about to begin.

Zhang Feng was observing these merchants from the side, looking at their faces when they were bidding, Zhang Feng was assessing how many gold coins they still had on them and how many things he needed to take out.
