Chapter 41 Is this sugar?



After hearing Blanche's introduction, all the businessmen's eyes turned red.

If there is no chance anymore, they will feel regretful and envious.

But now there is still an opportunity in front of them, and they know that if they don’t seize it, they will regret it!

"The last pound of refined salt, starting price - ten gold coins!"

Blanche's somewhat excited voice sounded again, and before she finished speaking, the scene suddenly became boiling.

"One hundred and fifty gold coins!"

The first bid went straight to the previous highest transaction price, but this time it didn't scare anyone away.

Terry's face turned a little red. After paying the gold coins and receiving the "last pound" of refined salt, he finally showed a satisfied smile.

Brown didn't hesitate and scooped a spoonful directly.

In the end, the price was set at two hundred and forty gold coins.

"Two hundred gold coins!"

According to Zhang Feng's estimation of current prices, about 600 to 700 gold coins can bring Hongye City back to life. In other words, this small auction alone can earn back all the food consumed by Hongye City in half a year! Although Zhang Feng felt that if the news of the auction was allowed to ferment for another ten days or half a month, the effect would definitely be better, but there was no need. This time it was just a test. Earning enough food for Hongye City was only a secondary purpose, and the main purpose was to make Hongye City famous!

His words made other businessmen impatient.

Zhang Feng, who was watching the show from the side, knew that this was almost their limit.

As Blanche's small wooden hammer fell, the bidding for the third piece of refined salt finally ended.

"Two hundred and forty gold coins twice"

"Two hundred and ten gold coins!"

"Two hundred and twenty-five gold coins!"

"But gentlemen who haven't gotten anything yet don't be disappointed, because the items we have coming up are even more precious and rare!"

"Then, half a pound of white sugar, starting price - one hundred gold coins! By the way, I would like to remind you that this is only half a pound of white sugar!"

"Black cone sugar is already very expensive, this kind of delicate white sugar..."

"Wow! Extremely sweet and pure!"

Boom! "Deal!"

The starting price for this time's white sugar was directly one hundred gold coins, and the final transaction price for the first refined salt was also only one hundred gold coins!

"Two hundred and fifty gold coins!"

Blanche didn't keep the audience in suspense and directly lifted the red cloth.

"Sugar! It's sugar!"

"Oh my god, so sweet!"

Zhang Feng looked at him and smiled with satisfaction. Just three kilograms of salt was sold for 490 gold coins!

Valen was the first to bid.

Hearing that there were more items to be auctioned, and they were even rarer, the merchants were all attracted to their attention. Brown was even a little bit unbelievable. He thought the auction was over after the three kilograms of refined salt were sold, but he didn't expect that there were still more!

"Indeed, the sugar in our Buck Kingdom is now imported from far away. It is all black cone sugar. Although it tastes sweet, it also tastes bitter and astringent..."

"Then we will present the fourth item for auction!"

"Everyone, this is not refined salt!"

Compared to gold coins, Zhang Feng needs talents more! "All the refined salt has been sold. Congratulations again to Mr. Valen, Mr. Brown and Mr. Terry!"

Snap, snap, snap!

This time, there was no need for Zhang Feng to take the lead, as the businessmen started applauding on their own.

There were also a dozen small wooden spoons on the tray, the shallow and small ones.

All the businessmen took a spoon each and stared at the mysterious white crystals curiously. Even the etiquette lady who was standing nearby didn't even have time to appreciate them.

“…”

But that doesn't stop them from raising the price!

"Congratulations, Mr. Terry, for winning the last pound of refined salt at the price of 240 gold coins!"

Terry was not willing to be outdone. Although he had just spent 240 gold coins to buy a pound of refined salt, he still wanted to fight for the half pound of white sugar.

After seeing that everyone had tasted it, Blanche quickly signaled the etiquette lady to come back, saying that every bite was worth a gold coin!

"One hundred and seventy-five gold coins!"

Terry was a thin cloth merchant. He was one of the merchants who rushed over from other cities after hearing the message from his subordinates.

"Two hundred and eighty gold coins!"

"Yes, this is sugar. We call it 'white sugar'. I believe I don't need to say much about sugar. We are all businessmen and we must know more than I do. But I dare say that you have never seen this kind of white sugar!"

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Brown's forehead. He was glad that he acted early, otherwise he would be the one with a red face and thick neck.

Seeing that everyone's excitement had almost subsided, Blanche immediately spoke again.

"One hundred and seventy gold coins!"

"Two hundred and forty gold coins at a time"

"One hundred and sixty gold coins!"

"Two hundred and twenty gold coins!"

Looking at the tray that was brought up again, everyone looked expectant.

Regardless of whether they won the bid or not, these businessmen were all sweating. It was so damn exciting!

However, the merchants present were not surprised at all when they heard such a high starting price. Sugar is a luxury item, and white sugar is the luxury item among luxuries. This starting price is reasonable.

Blanche smiled mysteriously, and then the etiquette lady walked off the stage with a tray and came in front of the many businessmen.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Blanche screamed excitedly.

"Two hundred gold coins!"

Terry even took out the refined salt he had just photographed for comparison and found that the particles of refined salt were finer, while this thing was slightly larger.

The frequency of price increases is getting slower and slower, and the magnitude of the price increases is getting smaller and smaller.

Most of the businessmen had red eyes and refused to give in.

Only then did they realize that the contents of the bowl this time were different from the refined salt they had before.

"It's really sugar, but sugar isn't black..."

Once the high price of two hundred gold coins was called out, the merchants at the scene calmed down a lot.

Brown's eyes lit up.

Blanche's voice was firm and full of confidence.

Valen was the first to taste it. As soon as he took a sip, his face suddenly changed, as if he had eaten something extraordinary.

"Hmm? This!"

"In all my years as a businessman, I have never seen sugar this white!"

"Two hundred and forty gold coins three times"

“…”

And they also say it is more precious and rare, is that true?

Snap, snap, snap!

Looking at the same small bowl on the tray and the same white crystals in the small bowl, everyone was a little confused. Wasn't it agreed to be the last pound of refined salt? Why was there still some left?

"You can taste it and then decide whether to participate in the auction."

Blanche's passionate voice rang out again.

"If salt can be made so delicate, it's not impossible for sugar to be made like this."

"One hundred and eighty-five gold coins!"

Even for some businessmen, this is the first time to spend money so purely, and they don’t usually feel this kind of feeling.

“…”

"Three hundred and twenty gold coins!"

Brown is also involved in the competition, and a new battle is about to begin.

Zhang Feng was observing these merchants from the side. Looking at their faces when they were bidding, Zhang Feng was assessing how many gold coins they had and how much stuff he needed to take out.
