Valen tasted the egg tart in his hand, feeling its soft, delicious, tender, sweet and mellow taste. Valen felt that he had lived in vain for most of his life! When it comes to eating, Valen can be said to be the best among these merchants. No one dares to claim to be second. He has spent countless gold coins on delicious food! This is why, after smelling the instant noodles for the first time, he was willing to bid a gold coin.
Valen originally thought that the instant noodles might be the most delicious food in Hongye City, but now he knows that he is wrong, especially for someone like Valen who particularly likes sweets, milk tea and egg tarts are simply his favorite foods! "Valen, this is too delicious!"
Brown finished his two egg tarts in just two bites, and looked at Valen with a feeling of being unsatisfied.
Valen calmly held the remaining egg tart in his hand. The city lord had just said that due to the scarcity of ingredients, each person would only have two egg tarts, but the fruit salad and fried venison would be enough to fill them up.
“It’s really delicious. I can honestly say that this is the most delicious food I’ve ever eaten in my life!”
Seeing Valen's little move, Brown knew that his little thoughts had been seen through. Although he felt a little regretful, he didn't care much because there were still many delicious foods! "Tell me, if we take these foods out to sell, how many gold coins can we get?"
Brown whispered in Valen's ear.
Blanche's words must have been exaggerated, as Zhang Feng taught her to say so. However, the businessmen believed it, and even Blanche herself believed it, because no one had ever seen refined salt, and Zhang Feng was the only person who knew about it, so they had to believe what he said whether they wanted to or not.

"It depends on who you sell it to. If you sell it to a commoner for one silver coin, he may not buy it. But if you sell it to a noble who likes gourmet food, or to the royal family, I think even if you offer fifty gold coins, the other party may not bargain!"
They learned the term "afternoon tea" for the first time, and also understood the meaning of milk tea, sandwiches, egg tarts, and fruit salad.
After all, although beautiful women are beautiful, they are not yours. You can see them but cannot eat them. But if you can get this refined salt and sell it, it will be worth gold coins!
"That's true."
Everyone was still not satisfied, and Blanche even asked Zhang Feng if she would have the chance to have this kind of afternoon tea again in the future.
Zhang Feng naturally told her that if she performed well at work, he wouldn't mind hosting another one.
Brown was naturally not the only one who had the same idea as him. Many businessmen looked at Zhang Feng intentionally or unintentionally.
Led by the etiquette lady, the group came to the next house.
The room was not big. After all, it was just a small auction. It looked very simple, without any fancy things. There was an auction table on the stage and a dozen chairs below the stage.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the three bowls of refined salt. Although they had expected refined salt to appear at the auction, the merchants were still a little bit unbelievable when they saw such white refined salt in front of them.
Valen sounded somewhat envious.
"so much!"
The starting price of ten gold coins was definitely high enough, but that didn't stop these businessmen from wanting to get it.
"What is refined salt? I'm sure everyone has seen it. Not only is it white and delicate in appearance, it also tastes pure and salty! Compared to coarse salt, it is also healthier! As for how this salt is obtained, I don't know, but I know that a pound of refined salt requires a huge amount of coarse salt and takes a year to process!"
Brown took another sip of milk tea. He was wondering if there was a way to buy some food from Zhang Feng, not only to make money, but also to satisfy his appetite.
"Thirty gold coins!"
"Eleven gold coins!"
"Fifteen gold coins!"
Even though they had just seen it, they still couldn't control their eyes. There was no other way. These etiquette ladies were too eye-catching! "The first auction item today is - refined salt!"
Zhang Feng was very satisfied as he watched the crowd get into a fierce competition in the blink of an eye. In fact, he originally wanted to try a copper coin as the starting price, after all, this is how it is written in many novels, and it is said that this can stimulate people to bid more.
As soon as Blanche finished speaking, two tall hostesses wearing red reception gowns came up leisurely, holding wooden trays covered with red cloth in their hands.
After seeing what was in the bowl, the businessmen no longer cared about looking at the beauties and quickly turned their attention to the refined salt.
Zhang Feng didn't eat much. After all, these things were nothing to him.
"One hundred gold coins!"
After eating and drinking her fill, Blanche stood on the auction stage. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, she said loudly without any stage fright:
The main reason is that the visual impact of this refined salt is too strong!
The etiquette lady deliberately walked around the merchant with the salt, and when she returned to the stage again, Blanche's loud voice rang out.
“…”
Naturally, the first thing the merchants looked at was not the auction items, but the two etiquette ladies.
Blanche lifted the red cloth and saw three small bowls on the tray, filled with snow-white fine salt.
"So, the starting price for one pound of refined salt is ten gold coins!"
"So white! So delicate!"
The merchants who already had high expectations for this auction now have even higher expectations. After all, if Zhang Feng can bring out such delicious food, then no matter how bad his auction items are, they can’t be that bad.
Actually, afternoon tea is a way to relax, but because the things prepared by Zhang Feng are so delicious to them, they are now so full that they are half lying on the chairs with their legs spread out.
All the businessmen nodded approvingly, knowing that the fun was about to begin.
"Everyone, please."
Zhang Feng and Caroline sat in the first row of the audience, and the businessmen sat down in order around Zhang Feng.
Some people even thought that the auction seemed to be extremely competitive now, so they might as well give up the auction and ask Zhang Feng if the "afternoon tea" could be sold...
There is not a trace of mixed colors, it is completely snow-white, extremely delicate, and even sparkling! If you don’t say it is salt, I believe everyone will think it is powder made from pearls and gems!
"Twelve gold coins!"
The afternoon tea ended amid the exclamations and praises of many businessmen.
Caroline didn't eat much either. It wasn't because the food didn't suit her taste, but because she had to maintain her ladylike image in front of outsiders.
But after thinking about it, he still didn't do it. After all, he didn't delay! What if something bad happened? Zhang Feng always stayed away from things that he was not sure of.
These three small bowls are just a large bag of salt weighing about 500 grams. Although it would be okay for Zhang Feng to use the modern packaging directly, after all, they do not recognize the characters of another world. However, in order to avoid future troubles, Zhang Feng will not expose the information of another world outside the castle.
"Okay everyone, now that the appetizers are over, can we start the main course?"
Zhang Feng clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention.
"certainly!"
"Mr. Valen offers a hundred gold coins. Is there a higher price?"
"One hundred gold coins for the first time!"
"One hundred gold coins for the second time!"
"One hundred gold coins for the third time!"
"make a deal!"
