At this moment, Lu Jialiang's attention was all focused on the beef cubes with bell peppers on the table in front, and he didn't pay any attention to the glances from others.
"The second dish is diced beef with bell peppers. Number 37 bid 160,000 Chinese Yuan. Is there anyone who can offer a higher price? If not, congratulations to number 27."
Seeing that the auction of this dish was almost over, Song Zhi cleared his throat and began to make the final price.
Song Zhi waited for a few seconds and found that no one was willing to bid, then he rang the auction hammer in his hand.
"160,000 once, 160,000 twice, 160,000 three times, deal! Congratulations to guest #37, who won a serving of diced beef with bell peppers. For the rest of you who didn't win, don't be discouraged. There are seven more dishes to come, so stay tuned."
Song Zhi's words dispelled some of the sad atmosphere among the crowd.
Everyone's hope was rekindled.
"Yeah, anyway, one person can only bid for one dish. If they both bid, they can't bid. I still have a chance."
"Yes, there are only about thirty people here. No matter how long it takes, it will be my turn."
"I still have a chance. I'm ready for the next dish!"
Everyone's fighting spirit was rekindled.
But what happened next was completely opposite to what they had imagined.
Didn't they say that those who have bid before can't bid again? Then why are those people in the back row still able to bid?
Oh no!
Did they each take a sign?
This is not fair!
But they did abide by the rules set by Boss Song. It was true that after bidding for a dish, they would not continue to participate in the auction.
But... they are together.
After everyone discovered this fact, they were so sad that they wanted to cry but had no tears.
So much so that the subsequent auction process was extremely similar.
Song Zhi briefly introduced the dishes and everyone started bidding.
Others: "Five thousand, fifteen thousand, twenty-five thousand!"
And the team centered around Ponda: "Ten thousand, fifty thousand, one hundred thousand!"
They are not even on the same level.
Others: "Ah, it doubled again. How much assets do they have?"
Pang Da and others: "Concentrate on bidding and keep raising the price. Otherwise, stop wasting time and double the price. We don't need this much anyway. If we have the conditions, let's eat something good."
Others: “?”
The two sides are not on the same level at all.
This painful bidding continued until the auction of the sixth dish ended.
"Great, we have a chance now, they have no one!"
"It's my turn now, hahahaha, there are still four dishes left, I still have a chance!"
"I didn't expect that the thing that restricted the boss was the purchase limit. Boss Song was really wise. He said in advance that each person could only buy one dish per day. Otherwise, we would have no chance at all."
Song Ran and Gu Si also sat up straight, their heads much clearer.
The two of them did not participate in the auction just now at all, because they knew that even if they participated, there would be no good results, so it would be better not to participate and save some energy.
Now, those strongest ones have lost the opportunity to participate, and they can finally have a place to perform.
"Hmph! I won't let you win in the next auction. With your limited ability, you'd better withdraw as soon as possible. Or you can build a good relationship with me, and maybe I can give you a few pieces later."
Song Ran was rubbing his hands, eager to give it a try. He turned to look at Gu Si and said proudly.
In Gu Si's eyes, Song Ran was just a little kid who had just grown up but hadn't grown up yet.
Gu Si just treated his remarks as a joke and didn't take them to heart.
Gu Si didn't say anything, but stared at the dish of scallops with garlic vermicelli on the table in front of him.
He likes this dish.
"Tsk, if you don't want to pay attention to me, then ignore me. I don't want to pay attention to you either."
Seeing that Gu Si ignored him, Song Ran said something to himself, then turned his head to the side and stopped talking.
The next four dishes were sold for 65,000, 51,000, 53,000 and 78,000 respectively.
The total amount had long exceeded the price Song Zhi had expected.
Among them, Song Ran bought a lotus root and pork ribs soup for 53,000 yuan.
Gu Si didn't get anything.
When he went out this morning, he only prepared 30,000 Chinese yuan, thinking it was enough to buy one dish. Who knew it was not even enough to look at.
Thirty thousand!
The cheapest dish here costs at least 50,000 yuan.
Alas, why is it that even in the end of the world, the gap between people is still so huge!
Gu Si felt very sad and decided to go back to the base to talk to Si Qing. After all, he was a colonel in the base. It was unfair that he was so poor.
"Today's auction of ten dishes has concluded. Those who didn't bid can go home. There will still be ten dishes up for auction tomorrow."
"The remaining guests who have taken photos of the dishes should come to the kitchen with their numbered cards and line up to receive their dishes in turn."
Song Zhi issued a notice.
As soon as Song Zhi finished speaking, everyone stood up from their seats. Those who took pictures of the dishes went to the kitchen to line up as required.
Those who didn’t get to take the photo left with a look of regret.
Gu Si didn't get to take a picture of the dishes, and a look of disappointment was inevitable on his face. He walked out the door with his head lowered, silently thinking about how to express his request for a salary increase to Si Qing after he returned.
Suddenly, his shoulders sank, and the next second a familiar voice came from his ears.
"Hey, we're colleagues after all, even if I'm new... I'm a good person, how about this lotus root and pork rib soup, let's eat it together."
The other people in the base didn't care about food as much as he did. They didn't understand why they would spend so much money just to eat a dish.
During the auction just now, Guan Gu Si wished he could meet his enemy and draw his sword against him.
But now that the auction was over, seeing Gu Si's sad expression because he had nothing delicious to eat, he suddenly felt a sense of sympathy in his heart.
Gu Si raised his head upon hearing this, and saw Song Ran's somewhat awkward expression.
"You want to treat me to this dish?"
Gu Si couldn't believe it.
This little brat was just at loggerheads with him, how come he's inviting him to dinner the next moment?
Is it changing so fast?
"Yeah, I'm lucky enough to have caught up with you. Do you want to come with me? If not, forget it."
If you don’t want him, just eat it yourself and you can eat more!
"Yes, yes, yes! It's a waste not to eat the delicious food that's delivered to your door! Then I'd like to thank Colonel Song first!"
Gu Si immediately agreed and smiled at Song Ran.
"Okay, Colonel Gu, come with me to get the dishes."
Song Ran deliberately emphasized the three words "Colonel Gu".
Is this person deliberately trying to disgust him? They clearly have the same position, but he still has to say this.
Gu Si heard it, but didn't care. He smiled and went to queue up with him to get the food.
What to do if it’s fun to entertain children!
Everyone who takes a picture of the dishes will be given an extra main course of their choice, and they can also dine in the restaurant and choose any seat on the first floor.
As for someone asking Song Zhi why the second and third floors were not open to the public, Song Zhi just smiled and responded that they had not been renovated yet, so they should stay tuned.
