Chapter 716: Together in the Boat
"Is there really a way to help?" asked Piano without a trace, a little incredulous.
"Baby apprentice, could it be that you have forgotten the key to your victory?" Dugu Tianfeng reminded.
"You mean 'Colorful Tiger Meat'?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Tianfeng raised his thumb and praised: "Clever!"
When Zheng Rentu heard this, he immediately reacted, and thought with joy on his face: "Hehe, now I am saved." How much is my whole set of kitchen utensils worth? I've made a lot of acquaintances here, but once I know I'm determined to leave here, how many will lend me money?"
"Disciple Sun, take advantage of the fact that the excitement has not completely dispersed, hurry up and spread the news of the auction of colorful tiger meat!" Dugu Tianfeng wasted no time in reminding.
When Zheng Rentu heard this, he immediately responded with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes! Disciple Sun will do it! Haha, now it's okay, let's auction tonight! If it goes well, then we can hurry tomorrow morning!"
"What 'we' and not 'we'? I haven't agreed to take you as an apprentice?" said Piao Wuxian angrily.
When Zheng Rentu heard this, he stuck out his tongue, didn't say anything, turned his head and ran out of the door.
"Don't worry, disciple grandson, I'm in charge!"
Someone who had completely disappeared from the sight of the floating eyes immediately smiled smugly. Because of a particularly good mood, someone's motivation to do things is naturally more sufficient.
After everyone learned the news, they were all very excited. Afterwards, many people fought desperately for the tiny piece of experimental meat that did not stick to any mosquitoes! As a result, a lot of blood was shed, but the tiny and tiny piece of colorful tiger meat disappeared without a trace. Not to mention, that man was really smart, and quietly hid the colorful tiger meat in the chaos and robbery. Now, no one but himself knew the true fate of the tiny, tiny piece of experimental meat. You say, can they not be excited when they hear the amazing news that they are going to auction off the colorful tiger meat?
There is no doubt that all the people who had participated in the daytime cooking competition returned without landing, and they also informed all their friends and relatives who could know it by all means at their disposal. All, for the rest of the time, there was a swarm of people everywhere. In a short period of time, this town, which was already quite large within a radius of tens of miles, was already overcrowded.
Obviously, such a grand auction must not be placed in a restaurant, because the restaurant simply cannot accommodate so many people. Not to mention a small restaurant, even if all the buildings in the entire town are demolished, it may not be able to accommodate it. In the end, the auction had to be placed in the wilderness not far from the town, and the wilderness where the cooking skills were originally tested had to be leveled and widened. It's just that I don't know if we can clear out a large enough vacant lot before the auction starts.
Before night fell, the temporary square was already crowded. Seeing this, the gang of ruffians invited by Zheng Rentu immediately lost the motivation to continue cleaning up the vacant land. Anyway, it's still not enough, they might as well be happy. However, among these many people, most of them are lively. Those who really had the strength to bid and compete had already gathered in the center of the temporary square in the wilderness.
There was no need for Zheng Rentu to arrange it, and those rich people who were very interested in colorful tiger meat had already supported their servants to erect a high pole in the center of the square and hang oil lamps on it. Although it is not as exaggerated as "brilliant lights", from a distance, at least within a radius of dozens of meters in the center of the square, it is definitely bright!
If you were someone else, trying to squeeze from the outside of the dense crowd to the middle, it would be almost impossible. But they were different without a trace, because the three of them were the protagonists of the auction, so they were let in very smoothly.
Dugu Tianfeng is scheming and knows the truth that rare things are expensive, so he emphasized at the beginning: their colorful tiger meat is very limited, and they have to keep some for themselves, so there must be very few that can be put up for auction. Then, Dugu Tianfeng asked Piao Wufeng to take out only one piece (this was of course prepared in advance, otherwise the secret of someone's spatial ring would definitely be exposed in front of everyone's eyes).
Those people with money and status at the innermost level suddenly boiled, because, they felt, this time there might only be such a piece of colorful tiger meat for auction. Some people have been lucky enough to taste it, and those who have not tasted it, and the audience excitedly and excitedly emphasized the magic of colorful tiger meat countless times. These rich people like to pursue the most sensual stimulation and enjoyment, and how can they miss such a precious opportunity to hunt for curiosities? Therefore, the price competition is extremely fierce.
When the second piece of colorful tiger meat was taken out, the rich man who had just won the auction at a high price knew that he might have done a big wrong. Although the price competition has greatly decreased since then, in the end, the silver obtained without a trace is still expensive.
Just when a group of rich people were watching without a trace, Dugu Tianfeng unexpectedly announced: The auction is over. Suddenly, that large group of rich people was boiling. The person who had just auctioned the colorful tiger meat at a not too high price was overjoyed, and the person who had won the first piece of colorful tiger meat at a high price saw the regret and chagrin hidden in the incomparable loss of the rich people, and the depression in his heart was instantly swept away, and he was replaced by complacency.
As for how the rich people surrounded the two lucky tiger meat, how to fight with each other, it was not something that Dugu Tianfeng, Piao Wu and Zheng Rentu cared about.
With a huge amount of money, he couldn't help but sigh without a trace: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." It's just two small pieces of colorful tiger meat (each piece is only about ten catties), and it actually earned us more than a thousand taels of silver. ”
"Who's to say it's not?" Dugu Tianfeng said sympathetically.
"Master, you are really insidious! Haha, I have never seen those rich and powerful guys show such a look of loss and frustration today!"
Listening to Zheng Rentu's words, Dugu Tianfeng hurriedly corrected: "What is insidious? Your master and I are called shrewd, okay? Hehe, those guys with fat stomachs, playing scheming, where is my old man's opponent?"
