Chapter 209 Auction of Cherry Tomatoes

Yi Xue arranged for Li Xiaoyi to go to Fuyuan, but she waited for the tomato auction the next day. For the auction, she also named the tomato cherry tomatoes. I haven't seen it before, who cares what name I choose.

In the early morning of the next day, Tianji had already arranged a special box. This box was not small, and it was originally prepared for Yi Xue's family and was not open to the public.

In the box, Yi Xue specially made a display stand, and placed more than a dozen chairs under it. In order to adjust the atmosphere, Yi Xue also asked the second-class girl in Shui to wear beautiful clothes to help the venue.

The guests came one after another, and many rich and powerful people in the area received invitations. These people did not expect to buy anything, but were curious.Fuyuan Restaurant is rich and powerful, and they also know that Fuyuan Restaurant has many novelty things, so they come here to satisfy their curiosity.

"It's Miss Yixue, I've admired you for a long time," said a fifty-year-old man clasped in gorgeous clothes.

"This is Boss Qian from the Qian Family Grain and Oil Store..." Tianji said hurriedly from the side.

Yi Xue hurriedly saluted, and said enthusiastically, "Boss Qian, you are very welcome. You are getting old, please sit down."

Boss Qian saw that such a young girl like Yi Xue did not speak immaturely, but was very sophisticated. He appreciated it very much, nodded, and sat aside.

Then there was Boss Zhang from No. [-] Winery, Boss Chu from Fulu Ankang Grain Store, and Boss Zhen from Jiahe Chamber of Commerce...

There were quite a few people who came, all of whom were influential people in the area. Among these people, Yi Xue also knew the head of Li Man'er's family, Li Yuanwai.

For Li Man'er, Yi Xue didn't have a good impression of her, saying that she was exquisite in all aspects, but it made people feel contrived, but Li Yuanwai was a gentle person, not very old, about a year or two older than her uncle Zhang Yueheng.

Yi Xue was the only one who didn't notify the Xia family and the Wen family, and there was no need for it. They had already sent things over a few days ago, so there was no need to participate in the auction run by their own family.

The people who came here sat around and chatted in twos and threes with good friends, and there were also eccentrics who closed their eyes and meditated alone, and no one paid attention to them.

When everyone comes, Tianji closes the door.

Tianji stood at the top, cleared his throat, and everyone fell silent. Although most of the people sitting here were influential local families, Tianji was not at all nervous, perhaps because he had been talking too much during this period of time. reason.And these big households didn't dare to underestimate Tianji. The Fuyuan Restaurant is nearby, so it should be said that it is unique in the whole of the north. If you want to eat here, you must make good friends with Tianji.There have been people who have caused trouble in restaurants, but those waiters in restaurants are not vegetarians. Not only are they good at martial arts, but they can also come up with any laws and regulations, which makes you feel that making trouble is a crime.

"Masters, gathering here today will also waste your time. On behalf of Fuyuan Restaurant, I am here to accompany you all... Today, my eldest lady invites you all because I have more valuable things for you to watch. If you are interested, you can bid for it," Tianji said.

"Oh, what is it, is it very valuable?" Boss Zhen asked curiously.

Yixue stood up, walked to the display stand, and said with a smile, "Masters are curious, so let a little girl tell you, this thing is not expensive, and it is not cheap, it depends on everyone's eyes."

Yi Xue sold a lawsuit, then picked up a delicate wooden box from the display stand, opened it, and saw a fist-sized, round, greenish-reddish thing, which looked like a fruit, but felt different .

"What is this?" Boss Zhang asked.

Yixue smiled, "This is called a holy maiden fruit, hehe, you don't know the function of this thing, I prepared some, let you taste it"

While talking, several girls such as Shui Er were holding a tray, on which were small slices of chopped tomatoes. The inside was also green and reddish, which looked very beautiful.

"Gentlemen, taste it, and then I'll talk about it," Yi Xue said with a smile.

Shui Er and the others walked up to the masters one by one. These people curiously took a piece and looked at it carefully. It was so rare. When I heard that Yi Xue said it could be eaten, some people put it in their mouths.

The first feeling is sour, the second feeling is sweet, it is comfortable to eat in the stomach.

"Good stuff", Boss Qian was the first to express his opinion and gave a thumbs up.

Everyone tasted it and nodded, and someone asked, "I don't know what this holy maiden fruit is? Where did it come from?"

Yi Xue nodded, "I found this thing by accident on the mountain. There are not many of them, and only a few of them were found."

She naturally wanted to say that the more precious the better, and this effect also aroused the interest of the elders present here. The few found on the mountain are treasures.This kind of thing is hard to come by.

"Miss, do you know what is the effect of this thing? So what if you buy it?" Of course, everyone is not a fool. There are many things on the mountain, some are precious, and some are just like grass, nothing unusual.

Yi Xue had already made preparations, smiled lightly, and said, "I've read about this in a magazine. Eating cherry tomatoes often can prevent aging and enhance physical fitness."

Yi Xue still knows a little about the functions of tomatoes, anti-aging is real, and the other is to prevent cancer, but there should be no cancer in this world, or even if there is, Yi Xue doesn't know what it should be called, so he can only say that it improves physical fitness.

The elders don't know much about this word, but they feel that Yi Xue's words are very professional, at least this word is very uncommon.

Hearing that Yi Xue said that eating regularly can prevent aging, and that some of the people present are elderly, their eyes lit up immediately.

"Girl, I don't know if this holy maiden fruit can be planted?" Someone asked.

Yi Xue said, "To tell you the truth, I'm also trying to plant it. If I can succeed, it will be the best."

"Haha, that's good, I'll buy it when it's planted." Someone flinched like that.

Yi Xue frowned, these old and cunning guys are really difficult to deal with.However, you are cunning, and you are no more cunning than hunters.

Yi Xue smiled slightly and said, "There aren't many of these things this year, that's all. If I plant them successfully, I'm afraid they will grow in next autumn. Originally, I thought of entrusting this thing to see if I can dedicate it to the current Holy Majesty. But the little girl’s status is low and she can’t be heard by Datian, so she had to sell it. I also hope that someone has the ability to dedicate it to the current Holy Majesty, and show my Huawang City’s heart to serve the country with fists.”

When Yi Xue said this, the place became uneasy. Yi Xue's words were high-sounding, but only words like this could make these people fall in love.

Many people can't sit still, they can wait, but this year there are only a few, and they are so precious, they have never seen them before, even if they are nothing, but they are dedicated to the Holy Majesty, no, even if they are high officials in the capital, I am afraid It will benefit a lot, and maybe even a higher level.

There are many people here who have intersected with the big shots in the capital, and they immediately used their brains.

Seeing that the effect of what she said was very good, Yi Xue secretly smiled.

And Qiushui, Tianji and others were even more delighted, the eldest lady is really good, the food that is often eaten at home has now become a favorite.There are still many in the greenhouse.

"I don't know how the girl will make a price?" Finally someone asked.

Yi Xue breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "There are only [-] of these items, and they will be auctioned in groups of two. There is no reserve price, just bid whatever you like, and the highest bidder will be the winner."

Now there are more than 30 people here, and only ten people can be bought, so Yi Xue is not afraid of the low price.

"That's it, hehe, okay, I'll pay ten taels of silver," Boss Zhen said with a smile.

Qiushui and Tianji were taken aback, and they only opened their mouths for ten taels.Although ten taels is not a lot of money to them now, and the accounts that Tianji passes through every day are several hundred taels, but if this little silk red silk is only five taels a piece, isn't that a big profit?

Yi Xue wasn't surprised, if the price was lower, she might as well eat it herself, and waste time doing so many things.

"I'll offer 20 taels", and someone called for the price immediately.

"I pay 25 taels"

……

"70 taels"

"100 taels", this time it was Boss Qian asking for the price.

After Boss Qian finished yelling, no one yelled anymore, and everyone stared at the remaining nine groups of cherry tomatoes.

"Deal", Yi Xue said with a smile.

Shui Er handed the cherry tomato to Boss Qian, and Boss Qian happily took it out to look at it. Half of it was red, and the other half was cyan, which was really pretty.Everyone also looked over, and some were curious.

"Boss Qian, is this so? Is it true?" Someone asked.

Boss Qian was very satisfied, not to mention the authenticity of this item, even its appearance, I'm afraid it is no worse than the items at home.

"It's really good, it feels cold and moisturizes your hands," Boss Qian said with a smile.

Everyone didn't hesitate anymore, so another round of bidding started.

This time it was actually sold for 150 taels, and Boss Zhen got it.Then it went much smoother, the price soared again and again, and everyone could see that there were not many things left, and if they couldn't get them, they would be gone.If it really waits until next year, then the novelty will be gone, and even if it is dedicated to a big shot, I am afraid that not only will it not be pleasing, but it will be a nuisance.

So everyone became more active, and when it was the last group's turn, they sold it for 510 taels, which surprised Yi Xue a little.

Many people sitting below want to raise the price. A few hundred taels is a drop in the bucket for them, but money is not spent like this. No matter how precious this thing is, it is not a holy medicine for healing, nor a treasure of genius, nor an antique, but a fruit. That's all, no need to spend a lot of money.

Of course Yi Xue knew it too, so she didn't expect to sell it for a sky-high price right away.These ten groups of cherry tomatoes were sold for 300 taels of silver.

This is simply profiteering.

Those who bought cherry tomatoes were naturally happy, and those who didn't get them were also slightly disappointed. They asked Yixue if she had any, and Yixue shook her head. They can't sell them now. Rare things are more expensive. If there are any, I will definitely sell them. Not at this price.

After they left, Qiushui and Tianji looked at their young lady excitedly.The eldest lady is simply a god. She sold twenty tomatoes and earned more than 4000 taels of silver, which is simply too exaggerated.

"Miss, I really admire you to death," Tianji said excitedly.
