Chapter 38 Afternoon Tea



The servants were waiting outside the door, and Warren and Brown walked in with their bodies straight.

After entering, I found that the layout of this house did not look like an auction venue.

A long table with chairs placed around it looks like a restaurant.

But since it was just a small auction, the two didn't care too much.

Valen and Brown were relatively early to arrive, and besides them, two other businessmen were already seated.

After all, they were not very familiar with each other, so Valen nodded to them as a greeting.

"Are they coming too?"

After finding a seat and sitting down, Brown was a little surprised. He knew these two businessmen. One was in the cloth business, and the other was in the iron business, both of which had nothing to do with salt.

Everyone looked at the steaming water in front of them in amazement, wondering what such a fragrant thing could be.

"Everyone, please."

"Sir, do you know those ladies outside?"

Blanche was a conscripted man captured by Zhang Feng to serve as a temporary auctioneer.

"They are all so elegant and their clothes are beautiful, they are my type!"

Caroline followed Zhang Feng closely, keeping a proper distance from everyone, but not appearing too distant. Her every move was very elegant, and the word "noble" was perfectly embodied in her.

In just a few days, Caroline's favorite drink changed from red wine to cola to milk and then to milk tea. It can be said that she is a fickle woman.

Which of the nobles they had seen before was not arrogant and looked down on others?

Even many people felt itchy after watching it.

The businessmen present here are experienced and well-informed. But today, they are all like beginners, discussing which girl has a better figure and which one is more popular.

“Pah.”

Originally, the businessmen were all eyeing these young ladies. After all, everyone loves beauty, and it is rare to meet a woman who can make even these old men fall in love with her.

"Milk tea, do you like it?"

"Yeah, I like it!"

But this is just Zhang Feng’s own opinion.

Zhang Feng thought it was normal to hear them calling him Lord City Lord, but when they called Caroline Lady City Lord, Zhang Feng always felt something was strange.

Zhang Feng and Caroline appeared together, followed by Blanche.

"Hello, Lord City Lord! Hello, Madam City Lord!"

Valen shook his head.

Seeing the two men, the businessmen stood up and saluted.

Then there were sandwiches with ham, egg and lettuce, colorful egg tarts, fruit salad, and a large piece of fried venison that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

At this time, the merchants also recovered and said they were not busy, or not hungry. Although they didn't know what afternoon tea was, they still had to be polite.

In fact, in addition to Valen Brown and other merchants who stayed in Hongye City, there were indeed merchants who came from other places.

After all, not every businessman happened to be in Hongye City, but after they learned from their subordinates that Zhang Feng had sent a small gift, they really didn’t want to give up this opportunity, so they came from far away and did not have time to eat lunch.

Once someone took the lead, the others no longer held back and started moving.

It's not that these reception ladies are particularly good-looking. The businessmen have seen many prettier ones than them. But when this slim-dressed lady stands there, her noble temperament is unmatched by others.

Seeing that the city lord was so polite in both his words and actions, these merchants were a little flattered and even forgot to speak.

"Hello everyone!"

If it weren't for the fact that the nobles have a lot of money and it's easier to make money with them, businessmen would be unwilling to deal with them.

In fact, in Zhang Feng's opinion, due to the limited ingredients, these afternoon teas are really shabby. There is not even a cake, and it does not look tempting. After all, even the milk tea is instant.

Zhang Feng tasted it and felt it was just so-so. He preferred the ones with fruit pieces and pearls.

After all the food was served, the receptionists stood aside politely, and Zhang Feng said:

Zhang Feng walked straight to the main seat and sat down. Caroline sat quietly and elegantly beside Zhang Feng.

"I don't know who it is."

Crunch!

Guluon~ Almost everyone swallowed their saliva.

But today, they met Zhang Feng, the new city lord, for the first time. Just based on his few simple words, they felt that most nobles could not compare to him! Valen was the first to react. He quickly said politely: "No, no, the city lord is too polite!"

I have prepared a simple afternoon tea for everyone to fill their stomachs. I hope you don’t mind.”

Zhang Feng complained silently in his heart. Then he said in a low voice:

Zhang Feng clapped his hands, and the female receptionists who had brightened the businessmen's eyes came in one after another.

"Is that clothing you like?"

"Zhang Feng, what is this? So sweet!"

While the businessmen were whispering to each other, the sound of a door being pushed open was heard again.

Some people couldn't hold back any longer. As soon as Zhang Feng finished speaking, they immediately picked up the milk tea and drank it.

But when they saw the food they brought, everyone couldn't take their eyes off it, including Caroline.

"This taste is just so-so. I'll give you something better later."

"Gulp gulp~Wow! Is there cone sugar in this? So sweet and delicious!"

They pushed a small food cart filled with tempting food.

Blanche was not surprised to know that Zhang Feng was going to hold an auction, nor was she surprised to know that Zhang Feng wanted him to be the auctioneer. But when she saw the items that Zhang Feng was going to auction, her eyes almost fell to the ground.

Caroline took a sip of the milk tea in an elegant posture. The aroma of milk and tea filled her nostrils, and the rich sweetness blossomed on the tip of her tongue. Coupled with the perfect temperature, she squinted her eyes in comfort.

“No one will refuse the tempting gold coins.”

Not long after, more than a dozen invited businessmen arrived. Several of them sat next to Valen, forming a small group, and everyone started communicating in a low voice.

Caroline asked quietly.

Zhang Feng said with a kind smile: "I am deeply honored that you can take the time out of your busy schedule to attend my auction. I heard that many people rushed back from far away places overnight. I guess they didn't even have time to eat lunch, right?

Cups of fragrant milk tea were brought up by the receptionist and placed in front of each person.

"hey-hey……"

In the eyes of others, this afternoon tea is both rich and beautiful, especially the aroma of the instant milk tea is irresistible! Although it has not been eaten yet, based on the appearance and taste, no one would think it is unpalatable.

"You're welcome, everyone. Please sit down. Afternoon tea is ready."

"Uh-huh!"

Caroline nodded like a chick pecking at rice. She didn't care what Zhang Feng said was better tasting. What she cared about was that Zhang Feng was willing to give it to her.

"Wow, is this Queen's Bread? It's so soft and tastes so wonderful!"

"It was the first time I knew that fruits don't need to be cooked to eat, and they tasted good!"

"My family also often eats venison, and sometimes we add some spices, but the taste is nothing compared to the Lord City Lord's. The difference is simply like heaven and earth!"
