Chapter 16: The Grey Cat
The hotel shopkeeper standing next to the wooden desk smiled slightly, and said to the person who was a little ashamed: "Congratulations to this guest officer, you answered correctly, today's final finale dish is the civet cat." After the hotel shopkeeper finished speaking, an iron cage rose next to the wooden table, and there was a white kitten in the cage.
When the kitten in the cage saw everyone at first glance, it made a frantic "meow" and swiped its claws towards the cage.
There was a "choking" sound, and the kitten pulled its head and lay down, because it couldn't help the cage at all.
Seeing the kitten in the cage, everyone was surprised: "I didn't expect it to be a civet." The man who guessed that it was a civet stood up with a red face, and said excitedly: "I'll say it's a civet." ”
The hotel shopkeeper looked at the people around him who kept talking, waved his hand, and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, due to the rarity of this spirit cat, the starting price is fifty inferior spirit stones, and you who want to taste it should not miss it." ”
As soon as the hotel shopkeeper's voice fell, everyone quoted one after another.
"I'll give fifty-one. ”
"I'll give fifty-five dollars. ”
"You poor people, how can you afford to eat a civet cat, I will give sixty yuan. ”
"Are you also considered a rich man? Hmph, shopkeeper, I'll pay eighty yuan. ”
The hotel shopkeeper looked at the price higher and higher, and his excited face became more and more red.
Several chefs behind the hotel shopkeeper also looked at the kitten in the cage with hot eyes, the dishes made by the civet cat, they haven't done it yet, but now they have the opportunity to show their skills, just wait for which guest buys it.
Li Yan on the side looked at the kitten in the cage, looked at the cute and pitiful appearance of the kitten, her heart softened, and said to Shi Jian, who was watching the bidding with relish: "Shi Jian, Shi Jian." ”
"Huh?" Shi Jian came back to his senses, looked at Li Yan with a tangled face, and said, "Sister, what's the matter?"
"Shi Jian, can you help me buy that white kitten?" asked Li Yan in a low voice.
Shi Jian asked a little strangely, "Sister, don't you want to eat meat? Do you want to eat civet meat?" So let me buy it for you?"
Li Yan hurriedly shook her head and said to Shi Jian, "Shi Jian." You see that kitten is so cute, can you buy it for me? ”
Shi Jian let out a "uh" and said to Li Yan speechlessly, "That's it?"
Li Yan looked at Shi Jian a little strangely and said, "Of course that's it, what else can there be." Don't you think that kitten is cute?"
“...... All right. Shi Jian nodded helplessly, and said in his heart: "Women are like this, when they see something cute, they will feel pity, that's it, a medium spirit stone is just 25,000 universal points." It didn't cost much to buy her that civet cat. ”
Shi Jian turned around and looked at the hotel shopkeeper when he read the two medium-sized spirit stones, Shi Jian said, "Three medium-sized spirit stones." ”
The people present looked at Shi Jian one after another, whispering that they didn't know what to say.
"This guest officer, are you shouting three medium spirit stones?" the hotel shopkeeper looked at Shi Jian in surprise and couldn't help but say.
Shi Jian nodded and said, "It's three medium-sized spirit stones, you heard it right, the shopkeeper." ”
The hotel shopkeeper said to everyone with a flushed face: "Ladies and gentlemen, this spirit cat has now come out with three medium spirit stones, and there is anyone who wants to bid?" Seeing that everyone was whispering. The hotel shopkeeper waited for a while and saw that no one was bidding, so he shouted: "Three medium spirit stones for the first time!"
Everyone in the audience looked at Shi Jian one after another, and kept saying to the people next to him: "Who is this, three medium spirit stones, this is enough for me to cultivate for a month, and I can eat a cat? Although it is a rare spirit cat, it is too extravagant." ”
The person next to him responded: "Who said it wasn't? Looking at that person's age and cultivation, I guess which sect disciple he is, and it's not an ordinary disciple, because for ordinary disciples." Three medium-sized spirit stones is also a lot. Everyone looked at Shi Jian enviously.
The person who shouted for two medium-grade spirit stones in front of him frowned and said to the hotel shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, three medium-grade spirit stones, plus fifty inferior spirit stones!" After speaking, he looked at Shi Jian provocatively.
Everyone shouted "wow" in surprise. Look at the person who made the bid.
The hotel shopkeeper looked at the bidder as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, then turned his head to look at Shi Jian and said, "I have already bid three medium spirit stones and fifty inferior spirit stones, is there any price increase?" When he said this, the hotel shopkeeper kept shouting in his heart: "Increase the price, increase the price!"
Shi Jian pursed his lips and said without expectations: "I'm too lazy to compare prices with people, low-grade spirit stones are too cheap, I will sell four medium-grade spirit stones!"
"You. The man couldn't help but slap the table. Standing up and glaring at Shi Jian, looking at the people and the hotel shopkeeper who were looking at him with excitement on their faces, he sat down angrily, and said in his heart at the same time: "These people still want to make a bid, am I really a fool? Isn't it just a spirit cat, it used to be just three medium spirit stones, but now it is four spirit stones." That person is really hateful, is the disciple sent by the gate so arrogant? Forget it, I can't afford to provoke me, can't I hide?"
Seeing the man sit down in the chair, everyone sighed in their hearts: "Hey, I can't see the good show." They all sat back in their chairs.
The hotel shopkeeper was also disappointed, but immediately there was a look of excitement, I didn't expect this time to auction the ever-time big price, I will definitely be rewarded by the boss, the happy hotel shopkeeper in my heart finished reading three times four medium spirit stones, and said to Shi Jian with a sneer: "Congratulations, guest officer, you successfully obtained this civet cat, I don't know if you are steamed or braised by the guest officer, of course, other ways can be done, you mention it, but this, hehe." The hotel shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said with a smile.
And the chefs behind the hotel shopkeeper also looked at Shi Jian with bright eyes, wanting Shi Jian to hand over the civet cat to himself.
Shi Jian walked to the side of the hotel shopkeeper, took out four medium spirit stones from the Qiankun bag and handed them to the hotel shopkeeper, and walked straight towards the cage where the civet cat was kept.
Everyone looked at Shi Jian, not knowing which chef Shi Jian was going to hand over the civet cat to, and guessing what kind of dish Shi Jian planned to make with the civet.
But to the disappointment of everyone, including the chef, Shi Jian lifted the cage in his hand, walked to his place, and then put the civet cat on the table.
Everyone couldn't help but say, "Could it be that this person can't eat it raw?"
The hotel shopkeeper asked strangely, "Guest officer, do you want to eat like this?"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Shi Jian smiled and said: "Everyone misunderstood, how to be cold and not taboo in the next place will not eat it raw, and I bought this civet cat in the next place just for the little sister to play." ”
When everyone heard this, their jaws dropped to the ground, and they spent four medium spirit stones to buy a spirit cat and give it to their little sister?
The hotel shopkeeper shook his head and persuaded Shi Jian: "Guest officer, although this civet cat looks a little cute, Ling Mei is just an ordinary person, I'm afraid she will be scratched by this evil animal." ”
"Don't worry, shopkeeper. Shi Jian nodded and said.
Everyone shook their heads and went to eat their own things. (To be continued.) )
