Old Fish Head tried his best to control the urge to smile.
The first item was meant to be the first to go, and he thought he'd be lucky to get 10,000 crystal coins.
To his surprise, the price was 11 times higher than he had expected!
At this rate, this auction is going to be a huge success!
"Clap clap clap..." Old Fish Head led the applause, "Let's congratulate guest number 5 on successfully bidding for the shrimp dumpling recipe."
"Don't be discouraged if you didn't get a photo, there are plenty of other recipes to come."
"The second dish is pan-fried buns. As usual, everyone should try them first."
Another dish was served.
The crispy, fragrant pan-fried buns exude a silent allure.
Like little imps, they beckon to everyone's stomachs: Come on, eat me up!
Everyone eagerly took turns trying it out.
There's absolutely no sense of modesty or restraint involved.
The auction was in full swing in the front hall, and the atmosphere was just as heated in the back kitchen.
Xin Sui, along with Da Yan and his wife Su Qiao, prepared food on site.
Su Qiaoren is as her name suggests; she is petite and skillful.
She can quickly learn how to make dumplings and steamed buns after just a few glances.
You can make it look quite good after a short time; practice makes perfect.
They all outshone Big Eyes, the "old chef".
Xin Sui then focused on teaching her how to make noodles and pastries.
In fact, Xin Sui and the two of them had been preparing for several days before the auction even started.
The preliminary work, such as preparing the dough, making the soup, and braising the meat, has all been done properly.
Now that we're actually doing it, it's much easier.
As the auction progressed, a continuous stream of delicious dishes were served out of the kitchen.
Those who attended the auction exclaimed that it was well worth the trip.
Even without taking pictures of any of the recipes, the sheer variety of delicious food was enough to dazzle their eyes and fill their stomachs.
Make their trip worthwhile.
At the end of the day's auction, everyone left with protruding bellies.
No other reason than that I ate too much.
I haven't stopped talking all day.
"Having lived most of my life, this is the first time I've realized that there are so many different ways to prepare food."
"That's right. Towards the end, I couldn't eat anymore, so I put away my portion and took it back for my wife and kids to try."
"Hey, did you guys sign that food festival agreement with Old Fish Head?"
"I signed it. There's no harm in it anyway, and what's written on it makes a lot of sense to me."
"If all of us who took pictures of the recipes opened our shops on Cherry Street and turned it into a food street, we wouldn't have to worry about customers anymore."
"I signed it too. Old Fish Head has a big vision. He said he wants to help our Dark Street get rid of its slum label and become a new landmark of Bright City."
"I'm just a roughneck and don't understand much, so I'll just follow his lead."
The group discussed the matter as they walked out.
Meanwhile, the old fish head they were talking about, with his big vision, was currently holding the crystal card like a nouveau riche, counting the number of crystal coins in his account.
"Eight digits! I counted it three times and it's still this many! I, Old Fish, am rich!"
Old Fish Head rushed forward like a madman, picking up Xin Sui and the others one by one and spinning them around, laughing loudly.
Xin Sui: "Wake up! Is this your money? This is my money. You can only get a tiny fraction of it at most."
Old Fish Head: "Hmph, how annoying, can't you just let me be happy for a little while longer?"
Xin Sui: "..."
What's the first thing you do after making money?
Of course, we'll split the money.
Xin Sui transferred the money to Lao Yutou and the others according to the proportions allocated in the contract.
As for the lion's share, it naturally ended up in her own pocket.
None of them had any objections to this.
Each person held their crystal card, looking at the freshly deposited amount, and beamed with joy.
As soon as Da Yan received the money, he transferred it to his wife.
"Wife, wife, look, we're rich now!"
“We used to be unable to afford that nutritional paste, but now we can buy a whole box of it without any problem.”
Su Qiao glared at him, "Why are you still eating nutritional paste now! There are so many delicious foods, we could eat a different kind every day and still not finish them all."
Big Eyes grinned sheepishly, "Oh right. Shall we go browse the magical artifact shop later?"
"I'll buy you that spatial necklace, so you won't have to carry so many things when you go out anymore."
Xin Sui couldn't help but smile as she listened to the couple's conversation.
