Chapter 160: Long Sydney
Yu Hao knows why Zhou Ren has been the prefect here for twenty years.
Give a gift to a puppet, this is Yu Hao, if you want someone else to kick him out.
But don't say it, this puppet looks quite similar to Yu Hao, but I didn't expect Zhou Ren to have such skills.
Zhou Ren looked at the puppet on the table, and was also a little embarrassed.
But there was no way, his pocket was cleaner than his face, and he couldn't get any decent gifts at all.
If it weren't for the repeated urging of his wife at home, he would not have held a puppet to thank Yu Hao.
Of course, Zhou Ren actually wanted to test Yu Hao, if Yu Hao was the kind of person who was greedy for money, then he would rather be the prefect of Guangyi Mansion for a lifetime than have anything to do with Yu Hao.
Yu Hao picked up the puppet, played with it in his hand, then put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "I like this gift very much, thank you Lord Zhou." ”
Seeing Yu Hao's sincere smile, Zhou Ren was stunned, and then laughed too: "It's good if you like it." ”
"Lord Zhou came so late, it's not just to thank me, right?"
"The master of the horse is really clever, in fact, there is one more thing I want to ask the master of the horse." Zhou Ren hurriedly said.
"Lord Zhou, please speak."
"Then let's put it bluntly, although the problem of food has been solved, there is still a problem, that is, water sources. I don't know about other places, the rivers and lakes in our Guangyi Province have dried up, and the wells are basically running out of water, and it is estimated that in another month, we will have no water to drink in Guangyi Province. ”
"I heard that the master is very smart, so I want to come and ask the master for advice, is there any way to find a water source?"
Listening to Zhou Ren's words, Yu Hao also fell into deep thought.
Along the way, he has seen the situation in Guangyi Mansion, and it is indeed as Zhou Ren said, it will not be long before the people will be cut off from water.
However, as a modern person who has traveled over, this little thing is still difficult to stop at Hao.
Soon, Yu Hao thought of a way, smiled and said, "Then we will go outside the city tomorrow to find a water source, but we have to trouble Lord Zhou to prepare some more dry mugwort leaves." ”
Artemisia leaves?
Zhou Yi was stunned, mugwort leaves can be used in medicine, but what does it have to do with finding water sources?
Could it be that Yu Hao is sick?
But Yu Hao doesn't look like he's sick!
Although he was full of doubts in his heart, since it was Yu Hao's explanation, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and quickly remembered it in his heart.
"Don't worry, sir, I'll go and prepare."
……
A few hours ago, Wudu City, Haoyue Auction House.
Tonight is the second auction event of Haoyue Auction House, and the entire auction hall is crowded with people, which is even more popular than the first time.
Knowing that there was a water jade auction this time, many dignitaries and dignitaries brought all the silver taels from their families over and wanted to compete.
There are only 200 private rooms in the Haoyue Auction Hall, which can only accommodate 200 VIPs.
But in less than half an hour, the two hundred private rooms were all full, and some of the VIPs who came late were all blocked out of the auction hall by the dart master.
Before the auction started, the Haoyue Auction Hall alone made a net profit of two million taels of silver.
Moreover, the VIPs who participated in this auction far exceeded the last one in terms of status and wealth.
Backstage in the auction hall, Li Shihan is directing the waiter to bring out a plate of fruit, and in the fruit bowl is the white pear that has been peeled, but it now has a nice name, called Long Sydney pear.
After Yu Hao left Sweet Pear Village, he immediately wrote a letter to Li Shihan, asking Li Shihan to send someone to Sweet Pear Village to transport all the white pears back.
The white pears were transported to Wudu City, and Haoyue Manor did not take them out for sale at the first time, but put them all in the auction hall.
"These dragon pears must be delivered to every private room, and they must not be missed, and each private room is only served on a plate, and it cannot be renewed, understand?" Li Shihan looked at the dozens of waiters in front of him and said solemnly.
"Understood!" The waiters responded in unison.
Then Li Shihan looked at the big head on the side and asked, "Have all the VIPs entered?" ”
The big head hurriedly replied: "Back to the owner, all the VIPs have entered, and the door of the auction hall has been closed." ”
Li Shihan nodded: "Then let's get ready to start!" ”
On the other side, the door of the No. 3 private room slowly opened, and Changsun Lang and Ding Oulong walked in wearing masks.
"Why is this private room again?" Changsun Lang looked at the big "three" on the wall of the private room, and the whole person was not good.
Thinking back to the last time, he was beaten beyond recognition in this private room, like a dead dog, and his injuries have not healed until now.
Ding Oulong cautiously glanced at the waiter behind him, and whispered to Changsun Lang: "Brother Lang, forget it, we were the last to come in, presumably this is the last private room, and we must not let the people in the auction hall recognize us." ”
The eldest grandson Lang nodded thoughtfully, and sat down at the table to taste the food provided by the auction hall first, but found that there was only one plate of pears on the table.
Changsun Lang's face turned black instantly, and he said angrily to the waiter: "How do you do things in the auction house?" Is it aimed at me, why don't you serve me a delicious meal and just give me a plate of pears? ”
"The VIP is angry, the food provided in each private room is the same, this is the dragon snow pear that is specially provided by our auction house, and it has the effect of beauty and beauty, you can taste it." The waiter said with a smile on his face.
As soon as Changsun Lang wanted to be furious, he saw Ding Oulong next to him pick up a piece of pear and stuff it into his mouth.
As the juice burst out in his mouth, Ding Oulong's eyes suddenly widened: "Brother Lang, taste it, this pear is really delicious!" ”
Changsun Lang glanced at Ding Oulong with disgust, this guy is a lump of poop and thinks it is delicious.
But seeing that Ding Oulong ate several pieces alone, Changsun Lang couldn't help but eat a piece, and he couldn't extricate himself in an instant.
The same scene happened in every private room, where the VIPs questioned when they saw only one plate of pears on the table.
But when they tasted it in person, they were instantly attracted by the taste of Long Sydney.
In the blink of an eye, a plate of dragon pears on the table was swept clean by Changsun Lang and Ding Oulong.
Ding Oulong touched his face and said in surprise: "Brother Lang, I feel that my skin seems to be really slippery, and your skin seems to be whiter!" ”
"Really?" The eldest grandson Lang was overjoyed, and hurriedly touched his face, it was indeed more delicate and silky, this dragon Sydney pear is too amazing, right?
The waiter on the side couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh when he saw the appearance of the two.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, pears are rich in organic acids, which can promote the secretion of intestinal digestive juices, which is conducive to improving digestive function.
But the effect is by no means as obvious as in the mouths of Changsun Lang and Ding Oulong, these two people are obviously psychological.
Changsun Lang touched his face narcissistically, he already grew like a jade tree in the wind, and after eating this dragon pear, wouldn't he be handsome out of the sky?
Maybe even Li Shihan will be impressed by his appearance and be willing to be with him.
Thinking of this, Changsun Lang hurriedly handed the plate to the waiter: "Xiao Er, another plate." ”
