Listening to the ridicule from those around her, Liu felt quite embarrassed. When had she ever been humiliated in public like this? This Zhao Xiaoxian was truly very nice!
He glared at Xue Huan with hatred and snorted coldly, "So this is Miss Zhao's way of entertaining guests. It's really good!"
He threw up his sleeves and left angrily.
Xue Huan: "Ah Man, please see Madam Jin off for me, so she doesn't get lost."
When Liu, who had not yet left, heard this, her heart choked and she became even more angry.
What Liu did was just a small episode.
Many people in the cafeteria had already gotten their meals, found a seat and started eating.
When they tasted it, they were surprised!
The food tastes so good! It's comparable to the food in a restaurant!
Xue Huan, the organizer, did not get any special treatment. She took her plate and lined up obediently, and Nan Tang happened to be standing behind her.
Xue Huan: “…”
What exactly does this Southern Tang want to do?
She didn't sit with Qin after getting her meal. They were a couple, so why would she be a third wheel? She found an empty seat and sat there.
Nan Tang sat down opposite her, "Miss Zhao, do you mind if I sit here?"
Xue Huan was speechless. He had already sat down, so why was he asking her again? Wasn't it redundant?
She thought he would take the opportunity to start a conversation, but he didn't. The two of them finished the meal quietly. Strangely, she didn't feel embarrassed or uncomfortable.
Except for some picky eaters, most people were very satisfied with the meal.
After dinner, everyone walked around the campus, and people from the foundation dispersed to act as tour guides and give explanations to everyone.
The afternoon auction started at 2 o'clock.
The first item to be auctioned is a sweet potato with a yield of at least 3,000 kilograms per mu!
The crowd, who were originally a little drowsy, suddenly woke up after hearing Chen Tian's very inspiring introduction.
Master Wei, who was sitting in the front row, leaned forward and stared closely at the sweet potatoes on display on the stage, as if he wanted to see them to his heart's content.
Master Wei was sent by the county magistrate Zhu Hongda. As a county magistrate and an official, Zhu Hongda was not convenient to attend such a folk auction, so he sent his own master here.
The starting price of the sweet potato was one hundred taels, but after the bidding entered a fierce stage, the price soared to twenty thousand taels.
At this time, Master Wei took action slowly.
The price of twenty thousand taels is quite in line with his psychological price range. If it is more, it will be a bit difficult to get it.
Since ancient times, the people have not fought against the officials. When others saw that Wei Shiye, the official representative, had taken action, they stopped and no longer competed with him.
This situation was also within Wei's expectations. As expected, the sweet potato fell into his hands.
In fact, if he had raised the bid earlier, the price could have been even lower, but in that case, there would be suspicion of deliberately lowering the price.
Master Wei is a smart man. Zhao Xiaoxian was able to bring out so many good things at an auction, and he even had a friendship with Master Zhao. He must not be offended easily.
Since she put the sweet potatoes up for auction, she certainly didn't want to see the transaction price be too low, so he raised his bid when the competition was deadlocked. The timing was just right, neither too early nor too late.
Time passed quickly, and the talismans and elixirs that everyone had been waiting for finally appeared!
This time, Xue Huan personally took the stage to preside over the meeting. "Although the talismans and elixirs were brought out by Master Zhao, and you have all witnessed how powerful he is, to reassure everyone, I will still test the effects of these talismans and elixirs on the spot.
"The amulet can block a fatal blow, so to test its effectiveness, two people must work together. One person wears the amulet, and the other attacks him with all their might. Is anyone willing to come up and give it a try?"
"I'll do it!" Cao Hu jumped up from his seat and landed on the stage.
Xue Huan: "One more person is missing."
Master Wei stood up and said, "Miss Zhao, I am willing to give it a try."
Cao Hu has a high level of combat power, so he is naturally the one who attacks.
Xue Huan handed the amulet to Master Wei and said, "Just keep it close to you."
Master Wei put the talisman into his arms and said to Cao Hu calmly, "Master Cao, come here."
On the contrary, Cao Hu was a little hesitant to take action. If he really used all his strength, Master Wei might die on the spot. Then he would be killing someone in public!
Xue Huan: "Master Cao, go ahead and do it. Even if Master Wei is seriously injured, I can save him."
With her words, Cao Hu calmed down and punched Master Wei in the chest.
His punch seemed quite fierce, but in fact he only used 50% of his strength. However, even if he only used half of his strength, it was definitely not something that Master Wei, a civil servant over 50 years old, could withstand.
Everyone below couldn't help but feel a little worried.
However, a shocking scene happened. When Cao Hu's punch touched him, a burst of white light burst out in front of Master Wei, blocking his punch!
Cao Hu himself was bounced back and fell to the ground with a bang.
Just by listening to the sound, everyone felt pain all over their body.
On the other side, Master Wei was standing there intact, unharmed.
Comparing the two, the effect of the amulet is too intuitive!
"With this amulet, isn't it like having an extra life?!"
Thinking of this, everyone looked at the pile of talismans on the stage with their eyes burning with excitement.
Xue Huan: "Thank you both for your demonstration. Please return to your seats."
Master Wei touched his chest, the amulet was still inside. Because the blow Cao Hu had just given him was not a fatal one, the effect of the amulet had not yet been fully exerted. He could withstand at least two more attacks of that level.
Asking him to return the talisman is like asking him to cut his own flesh.
Xue Huan smiled and said, "Please keep this amulet. Consider it your reward."
Master Wei immediately smiled happily and bowed to her: "Okay, okay, then I will accept it."
Everyone: “…”
Why weren't they the ones who went on stage to test the effects of the talismans just now!
I regret it now.
Fortunately, there are still several talismans on the stage, so they still have a chance.
Xue Huan: "The talisman will only work when it encounters an evil spirit. It's not convenient to test it on site, so I won't test it here. If you have any questions after buying it, feel free to come to me. Now, the auction begins. Four amulets, auctioned together, starting price five hundred taels."
The four amulets being auctioned together was quite unexpected, but someone soon realized what was happening and raised their hand eagerly, "Six hundred taels!"
"Ten thousand taels!" The second master of the Jin family, Jin Que (pronounced the same as Que), shocked everyone as soon as he said it.
But the scene was only quiet for a few seconds, and soon there was another wave of bidding.
If it was just one amulet, ten thousand taels would be a very high price, and few people would probably bid higher. But this is four amulets, and ten thousand taels is far from the peak price.
