Twenty minutes later, a refreshed Zhang Feng and Caroline, whose cheeks were flushed, walked out together.

"You can do this craft, who did you learn it from?"

"When my mother was still alive, I used to rub her shoulders."

Hearing the gloom in Caroline's tone, Zhang Feng was a little embarrassed.

Both of them are a lonely grass!

But Caroline was luckier than Zhang Feng, she had served her mother.

And Zhang Feng has never even seen what his mother looks like.

But then again, this is both luck and misfortune, and when Caroline's mother died, Zhang Feng could hardly imagine what she would have cried.

Zhang Feng patted her on the shoulder and said comfortingly:

"You're happier than I am, I haven't even seen my mother's face."

"Huh?"

Hearing Zhang Feng's words, and then looking at the non-fake expression on Zhang Feng's face, Caroline was a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have mentioned that. ”

Looking at Caroline, who was caught in self-blame, Zhang Feng was a little speechless.

He originally wanted to enlighten Caroline, but he felt more and more helpful.

"By the way, what did you eat for lunch?"

Zhang Feng had no choice but to change the subject.

"Huh? I...... I haven't eaten at noon, so I'm not waiting for you......"

Caroline looked left and right, not daring to look directly into Zhang Feng's eyes.

Zhang Feng instantly understood, what was embarrassing, I was afraid that the taste was raised by himself, and he couldn't eat the previous food.

Zhang Feng said to her with some amusement:

"It's just right, before the auction later, I have arranged an afternoon tea, let's make do with a little food."

"Well, it's all up to you."

Caroline looked down at her toes, and Zhang Feng noticed that the roots of her ears were red.

"Let's go, then."

Zhang Feng did not debunk it, and he took Caroline to the temporary auction venue of the city hall.

At the same time, more than a dozen big businessmen in Red Leaf City also went out a little.

"Your Excellency Valen, it's been a long time, I thought you were gone!"

A middle-aged businessman with a big belly saw Valen not far away and hurriedly greeted him.

Varun heard someone call him, the voice was somewhat familiar, he turned around in confusion, and saw a man dressed as a merchant, a head taller than him, and two servants.

"It turned out to be Lord Brown, strange, isn't Lord Brown in Rock City?"

Valen asked with some curiosity.

Brown was a stone merchant, and his business was larger than Valen's. Since there are very few stones commonly used in Red Leaf City, merchants who don't usually make stones will come here, and when they see Brown, Valen is a little surprised.

"I happened to pass by here to do a single business before, I didn't hear that something had happened in Red Leaf City, so I stopped by to see it when I came back."

Brown said with a smile.

People who do business are very sensitive to some things, such as the food crisis in Red Leaf City, such as the new lord of Red Leaf City.

Regardless of whether there is a business opportunity or not, since he has time, he will not suffer a loss.

"That's right, together?"

Valen tried to invite.

"That's exactly what I mean."

Brown smiled brightly.

When the two of them got closer, Brown asked in a mysterious whisper:

"Your Excellency Valen, do you know anything about the new lord of Red Leaf City?"

"I don't know very much...... No, I don't know at all, because I've never met him yet. ”

Valen shook his head.

"Oh? You've been in Red Leaf City for so long, and you haven't seen the Castle Lord? ”

Brown was a little surprised, he had wanted to ask the timber merchant about the Lord of Red Leaf Castle, but now it seemed that his hopes were about to be disappointed.

"The city lord has only been in office for a few days, and I haven't found a chance to meet yet."

"That's right, but I feel that this new city lord is unfathomable!"

Brown seemed to take out a small cloth bag at random.

Valen's pupils shrank.

This cloth bag is the same as the small gift sent by the people in the city lord's mansion before, or rather, it is the small gift.

Before, Valen was still wondering if the Lord of the New City had given gifts to every well-known businessman in Red Leaf City. Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

After all, Brown, a businessman who has a temporary stay, should have no less.

"It seems that Lord Valen has also received this gift."

"That's right."

Valen did not deny it either.

Brown opened the small cloth bag, revealing the snow-white refined salt inside.

"That's good stuff! It's hard to imagine that such a remote place has such a good quality of refined salt, and I don't think the kings of the Buck Kingdom should have any of them! ”

Brown's face was agitated.

He and Valen had the same idea - to buy this refined salt!

If he could get his hands on the refined salt, even if he had never been a salt merchant, Brown thought he might be able to give it a try.

After all, no one is going to have trouble with gold.

"If you can get this refined salt and sell it to other cities, or simply sell it to the royal capital, the profit will definitely multiply several times."

Valen's eyes also lit up.

The two glanced at each other, a little sympathetic, but at the same time, sparks burst out.

Friends are friends, but the competition is still competition.

The two came to the city hall with their respective servants, and because Zhang Feng cleared the venue in advance, those who were interviewed for job interviews left for the time being, and the area around the city hall was empty.

As soon as they entered, both Valen and Brown looked a little surprised.

They saw six women, or six beautiful women with noble temperaments, standing on either side of the gate!

The slim red welcome dress shows the natural and feminine curves of women to the fullest, and the snow-white wrists that are inadvertently exposed make Valen and Brown unable to take their eyes off them, coupled with their straight standing posture, high hair and spring breeze smile, both of them are in a daze.

Whose noble lady is this?

No, none of the aristocratic ladies you usually meet have this kind of temperament!

Valen looked at his gray clothes, and then looked at the other party's bright red, and he instantly felt an inferiority complex.

"Welcome!"

The neat and beautiful voice like a lark pulled the two back to reality.

Looking at the six beauties with a rather aristocratic temperament, they all bowed their heads slightly to welcome themselves, and the two old men blushed very rarely.

"Ahem!"

Both of them were a little embarrassed, and they didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Your Excellencies, do you have an invitation?"

Seeing this, one of the beauties was the first to speak.

"When, of course."

Valen's words were a little unpleasant, but he still found the invitation in his bag and handed it over.

Brown also quickly took out the invitation card and handed it over respectfully, but his eyes kept sneaking at the beauty.

"Come with me, two of you."

After making sure that there was no problem with the invitation, the beauty bowed slightly, put one hand on her lower abdomen, and put the five fingers of the other hand together, palms up, and pointed into the door with a graceful posture.

"Good, good...... Good"

The beauty led the way in front of her half-step, followed by Valen and Brown, but they couldn't control their eyes and kept trying to look at the small waist of the people.

"It's here, two of you, please come in."

Coming to a closed wooden door, the beautiful woman turned her head and made another gesture of please.

The two old men quickly glanced to the side, their faces slightly red.

"Ahem, thank you."

Valen stroked his chest with his right hand and nodded gentlemanly in thanks.

At this moment, Valen felt as if he was twenty years younger.
