A modern culinary family heir dies in a car accident and transmigrates into an ancient farm girl. Xue Hua declares, "No worries!"
An evil grandmother tries to take advantage of the si...
He Shen: "I wonder what Zhao Xiaoxian's purpose is in going through so much trouble."
Feng Xian, a bachelor, said, "No matter what her purpose is, she will let us know when the time comes."
While the two were talking, two more items were successfully sold. At this time, the "Medical Classics" that He Shen had been waiting for for a long time finally came up!
He Shen fully expected that the Medical Classics would be delivered to him in some way this time, but the Medical Classics was auctioned in a normal way.
The base price was three hundred taels, and it soared all the way to eight thousand taels!
Far exceeded his family wealth.
He Shen could only sit there and watch the "Medical Classic" fall into the hands of others.
In fact, he had already prepared himself for the possibility of losing the bid before he came. After all, his family background could not compare with those of the wealthy businessmen. So his plan was to wait until the end of the auction, find the person who won the "Medical Classics", reveal his true identity, and then "bid three times" in exchange for the opportunity to read the "Medical Classics".
Although this miracle doctor has been hiding his identity for a long time, his legend is still circulating in the world and his reputation as a miracle doctor is still well-known. That person should not refuse him when the time comes.
His old friend's experience of easily obtaining "Stone Bridge Picture" and his analysis made him unable to help but have extravagant hopes, thinking that he could also easily obtain "Medical Classics".
What a waste of time!
Feng Xian said awkwardly, "Old He, maybe I guessed wrong. Maybe Miss Zhao just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get my paintings, so she did this."
He Shen's mouth twitched. "So you think Miss Zhao likes your painting more than that 'Stone Bridge'?"
Feng Xian said unconvincedly, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Although I'm nowhere near as beautiful as Zhang Xuan, who knows, maybe Miss Zhao just likes my style?"
He Shen didn't argue with him anymore.
Since he didn't get to film "Medical Classics", it seems he can only stick to his original plan.
He looked again at the man who had taken the photo of the "Medical Classics" and memorized his face.
Ye Diao suddenly yawned, rubbed his nose, and muttered, "Who's thinking about me?"
Little did he know that the person who was thinking about him was the legendary Doctor He.
Chen Tian saw Xue Huan, who was sitting in the back, gesture towards him. Realizing it was getting late, he said to everyone, "Our auction is divided into two sessions. The first session ends here. It's lunchtime now, and I'm sure everyone must be hungry. How about following me to the cafeteria for lunch?"
If he hadn't said it, no one would have realized how quickly time had passed and it was already time for lunch.
Everyone stood up and followed Chen Tian to the cafeteria, and people asked questions from time to time on the way.
"Mr. Chen, what is the cafeteria? Is it just for eating?"
"Yes, the cafeteria is where children eat."
"What is that building used for?"
"That's the teaching building over there. When the children start school, they'll attend classes there. After dinner, you can take a walk over there and take a look."
Xue Huan slowly fell behind, talking to Qin.
At some point, Nan Tang actually walked to her other side and said, "Miss Zhao, does the school accept donations? I also want to do my part for the children."
Xue Huan: "Of course, but the specific matters are not my responsibility. If Master Nan is interested in donating, he can just contact Chen Tian directly."
"Okay, I understand. I'll send someone to negotiate with him."
Xue Huan continued talking to Qin, thinking that Nan Tang would walk away on his own. However, he didn't seem to feel awkward at all and continued to walk beside her, not too far away and not too close. He didn't speak again, but he was still impossible to ignore.
Qin glanced at him, pursed her lips at Xue Huan, and leaned close to her to whisper jokingly: "Xiaoxian, is Young Master Nan... huh?"
The person involved is still right next to me, and if he hears it, he would think I am so narcissistic.
"Sister-in-law, you think too much." Xue Huan said seriously.
In the cafeteria, the food has been prepared and is placed in clean and fresh food bowls in a variety of categories. Behind each food window stands an auntie who serves the food.
Each person takes a plate and just tells the aunt what he wants to eat.
Seeing the layout of the cafeteria, everyone was curious again. After the demonstration of the people from the foundation, they finally learned how to get food.
The men were better off and less particular. They picked up their plates and lined up.
The women were more reserved and lagged behind. Some of them even looked slightly disgusted when they saw the dishes were served in bowls.
"This is just like feeding pigs." A lady complained to her maid.
Seeing Xue Huan coming over, she said, "Miss Zhao, you invited us here, and you let us eat this? I have always had a bad stomach, and I can't eat those unclean things."
The staff behind the window were furious when they heard this.
They knew that today's meal was for the distinguished guests who came to attend the auction, so they all put in great effort to make the meal well, leave a good impression on the guests, and not embarrass the girl.
They washed the plates, bowls, chopsticks and food bowls very clean and even scalded them with hot water. They were even more careful when cooking, and not even a hair was mixed in.
As a result, this person started to slander the food as being unclean!
Xue Huan: "Madam, what's your last name?"
The lady thought she was afraid of her and glanced at the maid. The maid sensibly spoke for her, "My lady's surname is Liu, and she is the second wife of the Jin family."
There are four major families in Fengchi. Of course, this is not officially designated, but tacitly agreed upon by everyone. These four major families are the Ye family, the Nan family, the Fang family and the Jin family.
The Ye family is an imperial merchant family and the maiden family of Concubine Li in the palace. They control the economic lifeline of most of Fengchi and are considered to be the undisputed leader of the four major families.
The Nan family is not well-known and is quite low-key, but being low-key does not mean that they have no strength. On the contrary, the Nan family has a deep foundation and is the family with the longest inheritance among the four major families. Many officials in the court are from the Nan family.
The Fang family is the maiden family of the old lady of the Ye family. The minister who once proposed that the post station expand its express delivery business was from the Fang family. Therefore, the Fang family is quite influential in the express delivery field. One-third of Daqi's express delivery business belongs to the Fang family.
The Jin family has very close relations with underworld gangs. Businesses like brothels and gambling houses can all be traced back to the Jin family. They are a family that operates in a gray area. They know many people from all walks of life, and both the black and white worlds have to give the Jin family some face.
Although the Jin family is at the bottom of the four major families, this does not prevent the Liu family from feeling superior.
Xue Huan: "So it's Madam Jin Er. Since Madam dislikes the food being unclean, then don't eat it, lest you blame us if something goes wrong."
Liu looked at her in disbelief, finding it hard to believe that she dared to speak to her like that.
Someone nearby burst out laughing.
"You think you're a fairy from heaven, but you have a bad stomach? Why don't you just say you grew up drinking fairy dew?"
"Those dishes all look delicious to me, how could they be unclean? I wonder if it's just my eyes that are unclean."
