Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 971 Because You Can't, That's Why You Can
Xia Feng's price for the sandworm is one gold and one, which is simply jaw-dropping to the people in the town.

How should I put it, this is like a farmer who drives a tractor all day long knowing for the first time that a Bugatti Veyron will cost tens of millions, and they are also cars. Why is the gap so big?

Faced with this price, even if you sell all the tractors in the village, you can’t afford it. However, people’s curiosity will force them to take a look at what the Bugatti Veyron looks like.

In an easy-to-understand way, this is called traffic.

In less than half an hour, the news that someone was selling 1 gold and 1 sandworm spread across the town.

No matter men, women, young or old, even the fat man who had just sold water by the well came here after hearing the news. Of course, no one had more than 1 gold coin on them, but everyone wanted to see it.

Whether it's an eye-opener or a joke, I just want to watch it anyway.

Sensing that more and more people gathered, Xia Feng finally woke up from his drowsiness. He glanced at the crowd and started to shout for the first time.

"Ahem, I'm selling sandworms. It's rich in nutrients and delicious in taste. Don't miss it when you pass by!"

Looking at the two sandworms in front of him, the melon eaters couldn't equate them with a golden coin.

A young man with a towel wrapped around his head asked aloud.

"How much is a sandworm like you?"

Xia Feng raised a finger intact.

"Affordable, childlike, 1 gold, 1 bird."

At this time, more people heard this outrageous price, and the crowd was in an uproar.

Feeling that the time is almost up, Xia Feng cleared his throat and started the promotion.

"Everyone, don't be surprised. Be quiet first, and listen to me to explain why this sandworm is so expensive."

The expressions of the onlookers are basically the same. This expression is like saying "you tell me, please start your performance, even if you say it's a big deal, I won't buy it, because I can't afford it."

Afterwards, Xia Feng was eloquent and eloquent, first citing some professional knowledge in biology and nutrition, explaining the nutrients rich in sandworm meat.

Of course, professional is just a noun, such as protein, thiamine, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, etc. As for whether it is correct, it is another matter, it sounds very professional anyway.

After successfully fooling the residents of these towns, he continued to sell in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

"Folks, sandworms are full of treasures. If you want them to be delicious, use charcoal grilling, skr, ahem, without bragging, Victoria knows, Victoria's royal family eats sandworms every day, look at their hair, and Jin Youliang never gets sick and is as strong as a lion."

At this time, the voice of rebuttal appeared.

"We haven't been to Victoria, so I don't know if what you said is true or not. Here, what we care most about is not the nobleness of the ingredients, but the practicality. You have 1 gold and 1 piece, why should we buy it?"

Another middle-aged woman holding a child also echoed.

"That's right, you wouldn't take us for fools, would you? We've never seen you sandworm before, so why is it worth 1 gold?"

"That's right, it's possible that this kind of bug is rotten in foreign countries, and he just came to fool those of us who have never seen the market."

Facing the Ming Dynasty's insinuation from everyone, Xia Feng's face was not blushing and his heart was not beating.

He maintained a mysterious smile, and responded to the last uncle who spoke.

"Uncle, since you guessed that the foreign streets are rotten, in this way, you go outside to collect it now, no matter how many you take back, I will buy them all at the price of 1 gold, and I will not break my promise to my parents and folks to testify."

The uncle who spoke last fell silent.

Xia Feng stood up from the booth, calmly straightened the wrinkles on his clothes, and then showed an extremely complicated expression.

This expression contained a wry smile, helplessness, forbearance, relief, and even a twist of madness.

Although his expression is puzzling, but there is a feeling of ignorance. Seeing his state, the onlookers held their breaths and waited for his next words.

Xia Feng stepped over the sandworm under his feet, moved his body closer to the crowd, and then deliberately lowered his voice.

"There are some things I can't explain too clearly. Do you know why I come here to sell sandworms?"

Everyone pricked up their ears and asked in unison.

"why?"

"Actually, this sandworm really has a lot of background."

"What's the background, you should tell me quickly."

Xia Feng rubbed his face with his hands and let out a long sigh.

"Let me tell the truth, one thing to say one thing, everyone knows this matter, and you don't understand it, you don't understand it, it's better not to say it, and you don't keep asking me why sandworms are so expensive, hey , the interests are too involved, and it won’t do you any good to say so, so just pretend you don’t know about it. For the rest, I can only say that the water here is very deep, and many important people are involved. Things like sandworms are not something ordinary people can eat. That’s all for now, I can’t do anything if I don’t understand.”

As soon as these words were finished, the surroundings were silent.

Even the old man selling candied haws stopped selling.

Everyone looked at each other, and for a while, no one dared to continue to question.

Everyone who understands understands. At this moment, everyone has the same idea in their hearts. If anyone asks at this time, whoever is the only stupid X who doesn't understand.

Even if they really don't understand.

After that, everyone's expressions gradually became serious and cautious, and no one questioned randomly like they did before.

Everyone has always maintained a state of inseparability from the sandworm. They will neither show curiosity, but at the same time, they can't help but sneak a glance at it.

In the afternoon, some villagers who had just rushed to the town found the sandworm booth, but when these villagers were about to ask about it, they were kindly pulled back by the neighbors.

"Brother, don't come near."

"Why, I want to see what's on sale."

"Those who understand understand, and those who don't understand don't understand after reading."

"???"

In this way, the villagers gradually formed a flowing vortex with Xia Feng as the center, and no one left the 20-meter radius of the sandworm booth.

Everyone wants to see if anyone will really come to buy this "sandworm that knows everything".

Whenever someone finally couldn't stand it any longer and was about to leave, Xia Feng would pull out the Shenyue Saber from his waist, and made a gesture of breaking the sandworm.

At this time, those who were about to leave stopped again, swallowing their saliva and poking their heads.

Then, Xia Feng took the knife back again.

The sun is gradually setting from the sky directly above.

Until dusk fell, the surrounding stalls began to close down, and he didn't welcome a single "understandable" person.

In the end, the big onlookers finally walked home with confusion and regret.

Seeing that Xia Feng hadn't opened for the whole afternoon, the old man selling candied haws next to him counted out 5 copper coins and handed them to Xia Feng with a smile.

"Young man, you can accept the money."

Xia Feng turned his head when he heard the sound in surprise.

"Master, are you here?"

"Heh, thanks to you, I sold more than 30 candied haws today. Can I discuss it with you? If you come back tomorrow, I will continue to sell beside you."

Xia Feng was not polite, and gratefully accepted the old man's money.

"No problem, my booth will be bound to you in the future."

"That's great, then I'll pay you 5 coppers every day."

"No, just give me a candied haws in the future."

"Okay, thank you so much."
