Chapter 2070: Salt Merchants Conference
On this day, Du Feng got up early in the morning, went out with Niu Er, and rushed to the auction house.
Why do they dare to be so open-minded, because this time it is not a black market auction, but an official salt merchants' conference and an auction through formal channels. Therefore, the auction was set up in a large hall next to the City Lord's Mansion, and I believe that no one would dare to make trouble inside.
There is a relationship between Niu Er and Du Feng, and of course Niu Er and Du Feng were assigned a good VIP room.
Tut-tut...... Interestingly, the VIP rooms here are not luxurious, but idyllic. Du Feng now understands why Niu Er's father is called Niu Guitian, and he really likes the pastoral style.
The area of the private room is not small, and there is not mahogany furniture Taishi chair, eight immortal table or anything, but there is a grape shelf. The grape trellis was crawling with grapes. The sparkling grapes are somewhat translucent, like emeralds clustered together.
The light hits on it, creating a secluded atmosphere. To make matters worse, instead of chairs or stools, two swings are built on grape trellises. Du Feng and Niu Er, one left and one right, sat on the swing, while swinging, while enjoying the situation at the salt merchant conference.
Belch...... It's kind of a bad taste. I never expected that Niu Guitian, who is known as the Bull Demon King, would have such an innocent side.
"Well, it's not bad, I deliberately wanted this one, my father liked this one the most. ”
Poof! Du Feng almost didn't spray, it was Niu Er who deliberately asked for it for a long time, and he thought that all the VIP rooms in the auction hall were like this. What's even funnier is that Niu Er is swinging around on the swing, crossing his legs like an ignorant girl, and he is addicted to playing.
"Well, that's good, you're having fun. ”
Du Feng was also speechless for a while, watching Niu Er swing there, and he himself sat on it honestly. At this time, how can you still think about swinging, and the auction is about to begin. Because of the internal relationship, he already knew that the merman's skeleton was arranged in the last piece of the first half.
In fact, with the preciousness of the merman's bones, they should have been arranged in the last few positions of the second half. The reason why it was arranged in the first half was, of course, to take care of Du Feng. Because Niu Er had already told Du Feng that he needed to leave Salt Lake City today.
As for the reason why he needed to leave, Niu Er didn't explain too much, mainly because Niu Guitian didn't tell Niu Er the real reason.
However, Du Feng knew that there must be a forced willingness to make Niu Er say such things. It must also be related to the safety of the people of Salt Lake City, so that people like Niu Guitian can compromise. So he didn't complain, but was very grateful, thanking people for taking in and taking care of him for half a year.
Niu Guitian also asked Niu Er to bring a message over, that is, after Du Feng finished buying things, he should not go out of Salt Lake City or the auction house. How to get there, someone will arrange it after the end.
Just when Du Feng was thinking about these things, the auction had officially begun. I saw that many warriors in the hall had placed several large basins on the table in front of them, and all the basins were filled with crystalline salt. Someone else was even more powerful, and put a few iron buckets on the ground, and the barrels were all full of crystalline salt.
Well, it's no wonder that this auction is also called the Salt Merchants Conference, because everyone is carrying large vasks of crystalline salt. If you want to bid on something, you basically have to pay with crystalline salt. Those who pay with fairy stones will definitely lose to the bidders who pay with salt if they are of the same value.
It didn't matter if they didn't run out of salt in the end, because there were a group of merchants from other places, and they all came with money. The remaining crystalline salt on the scene, they will eventually take it away, and the money is enough.
It's a bit interesting, seeing that the hall is so lively, even Du Feng is a little envious. However, in order to facilitate the evacuation for a while, it is better for him to stay in the VIP private room. In the midst of the noise of people, the first product has already taken the stage.
This first treasure was beyond Du Feng's expectations, because it was a bunch of grapes, and it looked very similar to the grapes in their house.
What, could it be that the grapes in this house are very valuable? Du Feng thought of this, and quickly picked one and stuffed it into his mouth. As a result, as soon as the grapes entered his mouth, his teeth hurt with soreness. What the hell, why is it so sour?
"Hahahaha...... I'm laughing at it, those grapes aren't ripe yet!"
Niu Er slapped his thigh with a swing smile, because those grapes were really not ripe, if he lost, he would have invited Du Feng to eat together. The bunch of grapes on the table is ripe, and it has changed from a translucent emerald color to a completely transparent state. It's really a crystal clear, and it looks like a work of art.
"Well, why didn't you say it earlier. ”
Du Feng smacked his mouth, although it was a sour toothache, it was also beneficial. Because after eating that grape, I felt refreshed, and it seemed to have a certain benefit for my divine sense. You have to know that things that are good for the consciousness are hard to find. Those pills that can restore or enhance divine consciousness are very expensive.
"The guests in the VIP room can pick one string, and if you count my string, you can pick two strings, you can pick it. ”
Originally, I thought that the grapes were not ripe, and Du Feng would not like them at all. As a result, after he ate it, his sour mouth was crooked, but he still liked it. As long as it is something that is good for divine consciousness, no matter how sour Du Feng is, he can eat it, he is such a hard person.
"Then you're welcome. ”
It turned out that the guests in the VIP room still had this kind of treatment, anyway, there was no shortage of Niu Er, so Du Feng simply picked up two strings and put them into the small world of necklaces.
"Remind you not to try to plant, that thing will only rot in the ground, and it will not live. ”
Well, Niu Er's words hit Du Feng's mind. In fact, he put it in the small world of necklaces and didn't bring it back to eat. Instead, I thought that having grapes is equivalent to having grape seeds, and that with grape seeds it is possible to grow new grapes. If you can cultivate the grapes yourself, you will be able to eat such good grapes often in the future.
But it's not that simple, this kind of grape can't be grown by itself. Not to mention that Du Feng's two strings are not ripe, even if the strings on the booth are mature, they can only be eaten and not planted when they are brought back. As long as it is buried in the ground, it will rot in a few days, and it will not sprout at all.
"Okay, then I'll eat slowly. ”
Since you can't plant it, you should simply not plant it, save it and eat it slowly. Because these half-ripe grapes are so sour, you can only eat them slowly one by one, and you can't stand eating too much.
