With such a secret auction place, even the figure of the seller is so mysterious and obscure, Chen Daolin can imagine that the things auctioned here must be extraordinary.

In a place like the imperial capital, there are many powerful and wealthy families, but they can make such a place, and the boss here and the backstage are probably very amazing.

The auction hall here is more like a ...... than a theater The Colosseum?

Thinking of the gladiatorial arena, Chen Daolin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly remembered something.

He immediately remembered that he was in the town of Freeport, and he and Du Weiwei traveled to Freeport at night, and Du Weiwei also took him to a secret gladiatorial arena to watch gladiatorial fights and bets, and as a result, he won money, and won the werewolf Chuck.

Now that I think about it, I have just walked into this place with Ropanin, and I feel a familiar one, the halls, corridors, and rooms here, and the decoration style of the rooms, as well as the manners of the servants and attendants here, are faintly similar to the gladiatorial casino in that free port.

Obviously, it's all the same style.

Perhaps, these servants and attendants are all trained in exactly the same way to have such a similar style.

I remember when I was in Freeport, Du Weiwei talked about the boss behind the scenes, and his words were quite vague, as if the identity of the boss behind it was even very important to her, the future Duke of Tulip.

Just as he was thinking of this, suddenly there was a soft knock on the door, and then the door opened, and the steward who had just greeted him and the others outside walked in again. After saluting again and again, a group of servants rushed in and brought plates of delicacies.

Rose was still sitting there and mist, when he saw that the food had been delivered. Immediately clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, well, as soon as I smell the aroma of this stewed mountain turtle, I drool." I said, what I told you last time. Have you told your master?"

The steward smiled, hesitated for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Earl always likes to make these jokes to embarrass us subordinates......"

When Rose heard this, he immediately showed a disappointed look and waved his hand: "Forget it, I know that your master is very stingy, and it seems that he is unwilling." Hey!"

As he spoke, he had already beckoned Chen Daolin to sit down and sit beside him. As for Panin. He was still sitting far away. Looking out the window, I was stunned. I don't know what I'm thinking.

Rose didn't bother Panin, waiting for the servants to put down the food and wine, and waved them out. Then he whispered two more words to the steward, and then turned around. smiled at Chen Daolin: "Come and try it." In this place, whether the things auctioned are good or bad, I can't say. But the chef skills here are definitely the first in the imperial capital! I have always said that they have such good cooks, but they don't open restaurants, which is really a waste. I talked to the steward a few times, and asked him to tell the master to give me this cook, and I was willing to pay 10,000 gold coins, but unfortunately this guy was very stingy. Hmph......"

As he spoke, he strongly recommended a few dishes of delicacies in front of him to Chen Daolin.

The food here is really exquisite, and it is quite different from the food of the Roland Empire that Chen Daolin has eaten.

In front of a pot of stewed mountain turtles, the whole mountain turtle was stewed thoroughly with the turtle shell removed, and after the lid was removed, the aroma was fragrant. This Ross seemed to love this dish the most and ate it happily, but Chen Daolin himself was actually not very interested in this strange dish, but he couldn't resist Rose's strong recommendation, so he took a sip of soup.

After only the first sip, his eyes moved slightly!

Hey?

Generally speaking, this kind of mountain turtle will inevitably have an earthy smell when it is made. But this soup is delicious, but there is no earthy smell - the most important thing is that Chen Daolin actually tasted a familiar taste in this soup!

(Sichuan pepper powder?)

In the real world, these two spices have long been extremely common in Chinese cuisine, and it is best to use them to remove the fishy and enhance the taste, where would Chen Daolin not know?

It's just that...... This thing, the Roland Empire also has it?

Chen Daolin immediately became puzzled in his heart.

This kind of real-world thing can actually be tasted in the Roland Empire-what does the owner here have to do with the Tulip family? A channel to get this kind of real-world thing...... In addition to himself, in this world, there is only the first duke of the Tulip family, Du Wei.

This stewed mountain turtle really doesn't suit Chen Daolin's appetite - in the real world, what he fears most is Cantonese food, flying in the sky and running underground, it seems that there is no Cantonese people dare not eat. This kind of courage, Chen Daolin asked himself if he didn't have it.

However, in addition to the stewed mountain turtle, Chen Daolin ate a few other dishes, which were very delicious.

A charcoal-grilled fish is spread on the bottom with red-hot pebbles, and the washed fish is directly spread on the top, which is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the population is very delicious.

Another dish is a palm-sized scallop that is served whole, but when it is opened, the scallops are stuffed with beans. The beans are stewed soft and springy, and the scallops are soaked in the deliciousness, and the mouth is very refreshing.

There is also a dish that is dried in seaweed, and the bread is filled with various vegetables, and it is dipped in some specially prepared seasonings, and the taste is very crisp.

Chen Daolin just tasted it casually at first, but after eating a few bites, he couldn't help but eat with a smooth mouth, so he simply ignored his reserve, threw off his cheeks, and ate and drank with Ross, regardless of his image.

Dalglish was a follower on the side, so he simply started the work of serving tea, delivering water and pouring wine.

And Panin, on the other hand, still sat on the sidelines, silently.

After Chen Daolin and Rose finished eating, Rose exhaled with satisfaction, looked at Chen Daolin, and said with a smile: "What? I didn't lie to you, right? The chef here is definitely the first in the imperial capital." ”

Chen Daolin also ate eight points full, wiped the corners of his mouth, and gave a thumbs up: "Very good! ”

Then the two drank a few glasses of plum wine that was said to be specially brewed here, and Chen Daolin only drank two sips, and couldn't help but admire.

This wine is crisp and soft on the palate. What surprised him the most was that the most difficult thing about this fruit wine was the process of desugaring.

To know. However, whenever fruit wine is brewed, the wine will inevitably carry the original sugar taste of the fruit, and if it is too sweet, it will inevitably lose the wine taste.

So. Even in the real world, a fine wine can never be sweet.

Here I have to complain a little, the authentic European wine technology. It took a hundred years to find out the process of desugaring the wine, so that the wine can remove the sugar and sweetness.

But after flowing into the Celestial Empire, I don't know where to come up with a strange way of drinking, I have to mix the wine with a drink like Sprite Coke to drink, and I must make a good red wine sweet before I can eat it. This method is actually really a turtle at home - it took Europeans a hundred years to figure out the process of desugaring, but the Chinese people prefer to mix it with sugar water drinks. 100 years of desugaring process. Wasted in a can of Coke...... Europeans are interested in this practice. I'm afraid I'll be crying and laughing.

Just like Qiao's gang leader spent sky-high R&D funds to make Apple's mobile phone thinner, subtracting one millimeter from the thickness of the mobile phone. As a result, after buying in China, many people bought it. Immediately put a thick case on the phone.

Qiao gang leader knows underground, I don't know if he will come back to life depressed?

Chen Daolin drank two glasses of plum wine, and secretly thought in his heart, this wine-making method is not unusual, it is rare that there is no sweetness in this wine, could it be that the wine-making process of the Roland Empire has already come up with the skill of desugaring?

Later, Chen Daolin and Ross casually chatted and gossiped.

Although this Ross has a strange appearance and a somewhat strange temper, he speaks and does things with a somewhat cheerful appearance. Although the words were a little sour, but fortunately, they were not pretentious, Chen Daolin chatted with him for a while, and gradually got used to his style.

Chen Daolin's curiosity about this auction house showed a little, and Ross immediately introduced him to him.

"Generally speaking, there are two types of auctions here. One is open shooting, and the other is called dark shooting.

The goods of the open auction are listed and marked at a low price, and then the buyers from all walks of life above compare the bids, increasing the price layer by layer until there is nothing to add, and the highest bidder wins. This kind of auction method is the most used, and it can be said that ninety percent of the things are traded by the method of open auction.

And the second type of dark shooting is a bit special. The only difference between the so-called dark auction and the open auction is that each buyer only has one chance to bid.

After listing an item, indicate a reserve price. Then, the buyer can have time to think, and before the end of the time limit, he can have a chance to make a bid, and the bid must be higher than or equal to the reserve price - no matter how much or too little, there is only one chance to bid, and once the price is called, it cannot be changed! The difference between this method and the open auction is actually one point: everyone only has one chance to bid. ”

When Chen Daolin heard this, he couldn't help but be curious: "There is only one chance to bid? Isn't that the transaction price of the auction lower than that of the open auction? The open auction can increase the price indefinitely, and the secret auction can only be ...... once."

"Not necessarily. Ross smiled: "Although there is only one chance to bid for the secret auction, because there is only one chance, so buyers who really want to get the goods, if they are bound to win, they must act carefully." There is only one chance, unlike open auctions, where you can test the bid, and you can use the method of increasing the price to test the bottom line of your competitors. When shooting secretly, none of these methods can be used, if you really want to think of one thing, then the only way to do it is to ...... Try to make a high price! Because there is only one opportunity, and once you miss it, there is no room for regret. ”

When Rose said this, he laughed in a low voice: "So, here, on the contrary, those secretly photographed goods often soar out of some surprising sky-high prices." ”

After a pause, Rose smiled slightly, with a strange glint in his eyes, and said slowly: "I brought you here today, in addition to coming here to taste the food, but also to see a lively ...... In today's auction, there are a few goods that have been auctioned off!"

Chen Daolin was surprised: "Is there very little of the goods that are secretly photographed?"

"Very little. Rose nodded: "Generally speaking, the origin of the goods in the dark shooting is a little special, and they are generally some things that are not very visible, or some forbidden things." I can't find these things outside. Therefore, the owner here is naturally a strange commodity to live in, and there is such a rare opportunity, of course, he will not be polite, and he will shoot directly in the dark, and he will not be slaughtered at this time. When will it be?hahahahaha......hahahaha

Just when Rose laughed, Panin, who had been quietly on the side, suddenly threw a cold sentence: "You guy is smiling so proudly, have you forgotten the thing you secretly photographed back last time." How much money was cheated? Now you're in the mood to laugh?"

When Rose heard this, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed, but this person seemed to be very thick-skinned. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he said loudly: "Yes, I spent more money last time, although it was very painful." But when I got that thing in my hands afterwards, I also felt that it was worth it! Hmph, Panin, aren't you jealous of you when you say such strange things to me? You also bid for that thing? In the end, the flower fell into my hands. You are not angry in your heart. Right?"

Panin listened. actually didn't argue, and snorted coldly.

The two of them fought for a few words, and suddenly they saw the auction hall outside the window. Suddenly there was a light on the platform.

The originally dim auction hall suddenly shone as if it were daylight. around the walls. Countless lampstands were all lit, and such an ingenious design made Chen Daolin amazed - there are no electric lights in this world!

Chen Daolin looked carefully, and he could clearly see that there was a circle of grooves under the platform, and at this moment, the groove was already lit up, and he couldn't tell whether it was fire light or magic light.

(Why can't I feel any fluctuations in magic power?) Chen Daolin was secretly surprised in his heart.

At this time, a person slowly walked up to the table under the auction hall.

Dressed in a sleek black samurai robe, this man was slender and heroic, and his hair was meticulously combed, and when he came to the stage, he bowed to the windows on the walls on all sides.

As soon as he saw this person, Chen Daolin immediately smiled—he was actually an acquaintance again.

Chen Daolin remembered that this person's name was Gu Le, and he was also the person who presided over the auction in the gladiatorial arena in Freeport.

I remember that Du Weiwei said that this person is a very famous figure in the imperial capital, quite skillful, long-sleeved and good at dancing.

After bowing to all sides on the platform, Gu Le spoke—although it was far away, and it was separated by a layer of windows, but the voice of Gu Le could be heard clearly into the room.

Chen Daolin was a little surprised at first, but then he saw that there were several metal pipes on the wall of this room, and they thought that they were the setting of the sound.

Although the sound transmission with this relatively primitive metal tube makes the voice of Gu Le's speech slightly distorted, but fortunately, it is quite clear.

"Distinguished guests, contemptible Gule, on behalf of the host here, welcome all the distinguished guests today. Today, we have prepared some rare goods here, and I think you will not be disappointed. Gu Le Bucai, I wish all the distinguished guests in advance, and you can return with all your heart today!"

After a pause, Gu Le saluted again.

"This window is specially designed. Rose glanced at Chen Daolin: "We can see the outside, but we can never see the inside from the outside." ”

Chen Daolin's heart moved, and sure enough, he looked into the distance through the window, and the rows of windows on the opposite side were all pitch black, and he couldn't see the people inside clearly.

He tried to stretch out his mental power, but as soon as he thought about it, Rose had already guessed what he wanted to do, and hurriedly smiled: "Don't make any ideas! How could the owner of this place not have imagined that there would be a magician guest like you who could do such a business? This auction hall is exquisitely designed, and there is a magic array stored in the zài, where the snooping spell will not work, and once someone secretly casts a spell, it will attract the people here to know. People have opened such a business, and there are naturally magicians sitting in this auction hall, so don't be bored. ”

When Chen Daolin heard this, he dispelled his thoughts - anyway, he came to see the excitement, and he didn't come to cause trouble.

Since there is such a taboo here, why should I touch other people's moldy heads?

And the following Gu Le has already continued.

“...... I think you are all familiar customers here, but according to the rules, I still have to explain some things clearly, and please don't think I'm verbose. Gu Le smiled lightly, he was indeed very personable, these clichéd words came out of his mouth, but there was a bit of affinity, and it would not be boring: "First, tonight's Qiē auction is guaranteed by the owner here, and the information of both buyers and sellers will never be leaked." The credit of the auction house here for many years must be trustworthy.

Second, before the auction starts, all the guests who are willing to participate in today's auction. Please pay a security deposit and the attendant outside the room will give you a detailed introduction. According to the rules, if you buy something today, the deposit can be used to offset part of the purchase price when you settle the bill. And if there is no deal. The security deposit will be refunded in full before you leave. Of course...... If there is a breach of contract after the auction of the goods, then we are sorry, and the deposit will be delivered to the seller as compensation. This is a traditional rule of our store, so please understand it. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Le laughed: "But I think that all of you who can sit here are people with great status, so this last thing, I think it will never happen to you nobles, I will repeat it, and please don't think I'm irritable." Hahaha......"

There was a pause. He just said, "Below." We will take a short break, and after a quarter of an hour, the auction will officially begin. If you want to pay a deposit to participate in the auction. You can call your attendant now. The list of goods to be auctioned tonight will also be distributed to you - but not yet. There are a few items that have been auctioned off, according to the rules, are not on the list, and can only be revealed when it comes to auction. ”

Then Gu Le walked down, and the platform was empty again.

The door of the private room was pushed open, and the steward walked in with a smile on his face, looked at Rose, and whispered, "Count?"

Rose laughed: "I'm here for those few secret shots today, of course I have to take a good look." ”

As he spoke, he took out a stack of golden tickets from his sleeve, put them on the table, and said lightly: "The golden ticket issued by the Tulip family is not recognized by the vote, and it is paid in full." Twenty thousand gold coins are here. ”

The steward walked over, picked up the golden ticket, put it on the plate held by a servant beside him, and then gently placed a golden silk thread in front of Rose, and said respectfully: "Lord Earl, this is your certificate. ”

Panin coughed at this time, and actually took out a few golden tickets and gently threw them on the servant's plate.

The steward's face changed, and he showed a surprised expression: "General Garonin, are you also interested today?"

Panin snorted and didn't speak. Ross laughed, glanced at the steward, and said: "Don't be surprised, this kid is here today for the things you secretly photographed, you also know that he is about to get married, and he wants to find a few rare things to give to his fiancée, I think you also know the identity of his fiancée, ordinary things, can not be seen." I hope that the goods you secretly photographed today will not disappoint. ”

A trace of green gas flashed on Paning's face, and he said coldly: "Big head, just talk too much!"

The steward bowed to Panin again and again, and hurriedly presented a golden ribbon with both hands.

Just as he was about to leave, suddenly Chen Daolin smiled and said, "Wait a minute." ”

Although this steward didn't recognize Chen Daolin, he also understood that since this person could walk with Ross and Paning, and his words and deeds were calm, his identity must be unusual, so he quickly stood up and bent down and smiled at Chen Daolin: "What do you have to tell your guests?"

"I want to participate in the auction too, is that okay?" Chen Daolin smiled.

The steward hesitated slightly, seemed to be a little embarrassed, and said slowly: "This ...... This guest, our rules here, raw guests do not accept bidding, if you want to participate in the auction, you have to register with us to be eligible to bid......"

The implication of the words is also clear: we all earn no one's money, and if we don't have a certain identity, we are not qualified to enter the game.

Chen Daolin laughed in his heart: This auction house actually plays the same set of private clubs.

However, he also had to admit that this set, in a place like the imperial capital, where powerful people are rampant, is often more popular.

"So, how can you have this qualification?" said Chen Daolin with a smile.

"Well, to register your identity, we have to verify it, and there are some standards, we have to ask some elders in the auction house to pass it together, before we can issue this membership. And ......" the steward smiled: "Our dues here are not low. But please rest assured that the information of all our members is absolutely confidential and will never be leaked to the outside half a word!"

Before Chen Daolin could speak, Rose next to him had already stood up, walked over, slapped the steward on the shoulder, and scolded with a smile: "Blind your dog eyes, you guy, I always say that you are smart and smart, but you can't change the little family! Do you know what kind of identity this is? Hmph, but you can't invite a distinguished guest, he is willing to join, it is your honor! If I were the master of your family, let alone the membership fee, I would have to invite him if I paid for it!"

As he spoke, he looked at the steward and said lightly: "Listen carefully, this is the court magician, the court knighthood, and the official magic professor of the magic academy! With such an identity, can't you still be your member? Not to mention a mere membership fee, do you know, which magician in this world is short of money? Why don't you quickly put away your nonsense and honestly present the certificate with both hands!"
