Chapter 39: The Auction Begins

Varen tasted the egg tart in his hand, feeling its fluffy, delicious, delicate, sweet and mellow taste, Valen felt that most of his life was in vain!

As for eating, Valen can say that among these merchants, he said that he was the first, and no one dared to call him second, and he didn't know how many gold coins he spent for food! That's why, after the first smell of instant noodles, he was willing to bid for a gold coin.

Originally, Valen thought that instant noodles might be the best food in Red Leaf City, but now he knew that he was wrong, especially for people like Valen who like sweets, this milk tea and egg tart are simply his real name food!

"Valen, this is too fragrant!"

Brown finished his two tarts in two bites, and he looked at Valen with some dissatisfaction.

Valen quietly pinched the remaining egg tart in his hand, the city lord had just said that due to the scarcity of ingredients, there are only two egg tarts per person, and fruit salad and fried venison can be filled.

"It's delicious, and to put it bluntly, it's the best food I've ever had in my life!"

Seeing Valen's small movements, Brown knew that his careful thoughts had been seen through, although he was a little regretful, but he didn't care very much, because there were still a lot of delicious delicacies!

"You say, if we take this food out and sell it, how many gold coins will it sell?"

Brown whispered in Valen's ear.

"It depends on who you sell it to, if you sell a silver coin to a commoner, he may not buy it, but if you sell it to a nobleman who likes food, or the royal family, I think even if you give fifty gold coins, the other party may not bargain!"

Valen's tone was a little envious.

"That's right."

Brown took another sip of milk tea, he was wondering if there was a way to buy some food from Zhang Feng, not only to make money, but also to satisfy his appetite.

Naturally, he was not the only one who thought like Brown, and many businessmen looked at Zhang Feng intentionally or unintentionally.

An afternoon tea came to an end in the exclamation and admiration of many businessmen.

For the first time, they learned the word "afternoon tea" and also understood the meaning of milk tea, sandwiches, egg tarts, and fruit salad.

Everyone was still unsatisfied, and Blanche even asked Zhang Feng if he would have a chance to eat this kind of afternoon tea in the future.

Zhang Feng naturally told her that if he performed well at work, he wouldn't mind holding another one.

In fact, afternoon tea was originally a way to relax and relax, but because of the things prepared by Zhang Feng, it was too delicious for these, so now they can't hold it up one by one, and they are half lying on the chair.

Zhang Feng didn't eat much, after all, these things were really nothing to him.

Caroline didn't eat much, not because things didn't suit her appetite, but because Caroline had to remain a lady in front of outsiders.

"Okay guys, now that dessert is over, can we start the meal?"

Zhang Feng clapped his palms and focused everyone's attention.

"Of course!"

All the merchants nodded approvingly, knowing that the show was about to begin.

The merchants who had expectations for this auction are now even more ambitious, after all, if they can come up with such a delicacy, Zhang Feng's auction items will not be much worse.

Some people even feel that the auction now looks extremely competitive, so why not simply give up the auction, and then ask Zhang Feng if this "afternoon tea" can be sold......

"Everyone, please."

Led by the hostess, the group came to the next room.

This room is not big, after all, it is just a small auction, it looks simple, there are no bells and whistles, there is an auction table on the stage, and a dozen chairs under the stage.

Zhang Feng took Caroline to sit in the first row of the stage, and these businessmen sat down in turn along Zhang Feng.

Blanche, who was well-fed and drunk, stood on the auction table, and after seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, she said aloud without stage fright:

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the auction held by Red Leaf City today, my name is Blanche, today's auction is hosted by me, I am happy to serve you, without further ado, let's get started! ”

As soon as Blanche finished speaking, two tall hostesses Shi Shiran in red welcome dresses walked up, holding wooden trays covered with red cloth in their hands.

The first thing the merchants looked at was not the auction items, but the two hostesses.

Although they have seen it just now, they still have difficulty controlling their eyes, no way, these hostesses are too eye-catching!

"Today's first auction item is refined salt!"

Blanche opened the red cloth, and there were three small bowls on the tray, all of which were filled with snow-white refined salt.

Seeing the contents of the bowl, these merchants could no longer care about looking at the beautiful woman, and quickly turned their eyes to the refined salt.

After all, although the beauty is good, it is not her own, she can see it but she can't eat it, but if this refined salt can be taken and sold as soon as it is sold, it will be a proper gold coin!

"So much!"

"So white! So delicate! ”

Seeing these three bowls of refined salt, everyone's eyes lit up, although it was expected that refined salt would appear at auction, but when they really saw such a white refined salt in front of them, the merchants were still a little incredulous.

The main thing is that the visual impact of this refined salt is too strong!

There is not a trace of variegation, it is completely extremely snow-white, and extremely delicate, and even sparkling!

If you don't say it's salt, I'm sure everyone will think it's a powder made from pearl gemstones!

These three small bowls are exactly a large bag of about 500 grams of salt, although it doesn't matter if Zhang Feng directly uses that kind of modern packaging, after all, they don't know the words of the other world, but in order to avoid trouble in the future, outside the castle, Zhang Feng will not expose the information of the other world.

Miss Manners deliberately walked around the merchant with salt, and when she returned to the stage again, Blanche's loud voice rang out.

"What is refined salt, I think everyone has seen it, it is not only white and delicate in appearance, its taste is not a little peculiar, only the purest salty! It's also healthier than kosher salt! As for how this salt is obtained, I don't know, but I know that such a pound of refined salt requires a huge amount of coarse salt and then processed for a year to be refined! ”

Blanche's words must be exaggerated, Zhang Feng taught her to say this, but the businessmen believed it, and even Blanche herself believed it, because no one had ever seen refined salt, Zhang Feng was the only one who knew about it, and he had to believe what he said.

"So, a pound of refined salt, the starting price - ten gold coins!"

The starting price of 10 gold coins was definitely high enough, but that didn't stop the merchants from getting their hands on it.

"Eleven gold coins!"

"Twelve gold coins!"

"Fifteen gold coins!"

"Thirty gold coins!"

“……”

Looking at the people who fell into the fierce competition in the blink of an eye, Zhang Feng was very satisfied. In fact, he originally wanted to try a copper coin as the starting price, after all, it is written in many novels, and I heard that this can stimulate people to increase the price even more.

But after thinking about it, he still didn't do it, after all, he didn't drag! In case something bad happens, what if something is not certain, Zhang Feng has always stayed away.

"A hundred gold coins!"

"Mr. Valen has bid a hundred gold coins, is there anything higher?"

"One hundred gold coins for the first time!"

"One hundred gold coins for the second time!"

"A hundred gold coins for the third time!"

"Deal!"
