Starting Today, I'll Work as a City Lord.

Everyone around fell silent and stared fixedly at the clam.

"Huh..." The middle-aged man took a deep breath, and snapped open the clam shell, inside lay four white pearls.

"Hahaha... I hit it! Four pearls, I made it, I made it, I made it..." The middle-aged man immediately shouted excitedly, waving his hands.

"This... is this how the pearls came from??" Shi Mi was dumbfounded, so the precious pearls were pried out by this kind of thing?His world view was completely refreshed, he always thought that pearls came from a kind of ore.

He was just about to ask, what is this thing called, when he heard someone discussing a topic next to him.

"These pearls are quite small, so they shouldn't be worth much money, so let's make a small profit. I heard that a pink pearl was opened a few days ago. It was [-] millimeters in size, and that was the real treasure."

"Really? Fourteen millimeters? Is that big?"

"I also heard from my friends that there will be an auction tomorrow night. I guess it will appear at the auction. The price must be very expensive."

"Yes, the pink pearl is fourteen millimeters in size. There must be many people fighting for it."

"..."

Smith listened quietly at the side. He wants to participate in this auction. If this pink pearl is auctioned off and given to Miss Fei, she will definitely let her marry me, so that he can get closer to the eldest prince. .

"Then, let's gamble now." The corner of Shi Mi's mouth rose. This betting on pearls is very interesting, so what if you don't play for a while.

Chapter 0566 or roll.

As night fell, the excitement of the day was slowly covered by the night.

In the study of the castle, Liu Feng was correcting the government affairs. There are so many disaster victims today, and he needs to ask about resettlement issues.

"Master, drink some tea to refresh yourself." Nicole came in with the tea and placed it lightly on the desk. Her long flaxen hair was still a little wet, and it looked like she had just taken a shower.

"En." Liu Feng put down the notepad, rubbed the center of his eyebrows with one hand, picked up the tea with the other, blew it a few times, and took a sip. The taste of the black tea was quite good, slightly sweet.

"Master, today the teahouse sold fifteen tea trays and twenty-five catties of tea, earning a total of seventy-three gold coins." Nicole said softly. This is the bill reported by the manager of the teahouse just now.

"Oh?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "I didn't expect those nobles and merchants to have such strong purchasing power."

This was really beyond his expectation. He thought it would be great if he could sell [-] or [-] gold coins, but he didn't expect the charm of tea to be so great.

"Hehe...Master, those people also bought a lot of pastries." Nicole covered her mouth with a chuckle, pulled her long hair down her forehead, and said, "The pastries sold for eleven gold coins."

When the report first came out, she still couldn't believe that those nobles and merchants actually bought so many pastries.

"It's really... special!" Liu Feng had a strange expression. He bought pastries while drinking tea. The pastries were originally used for decoration, so they were very expensive and the portions were small. It just made drinking tea not so monotonous, but it was so popular .

"Today is still the first day. Those businessmen and nobles haven't gone shopping much. After a few days, the reputation of tea will spread, and more people will come to buy tea trays and tea sets." Nicole analyzed, putting a plate of egg tarts Push it in front of Liu Feng.

"En." Liu Feng picked up a piece of egg tart, opened his mouth to bite off half, chewed a few times, lifted the other half and stuffed it into Nicole's mouth.

Nicole stared blankly at the egg tart in front of her, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she bit the egg tart with her pink lips lightly. Such an intimate gesture made her a little shy. Fortunately, there were only two people in the study, and everyone else had gone to the hot spring.

"Bonuses for the employees of the teahouse will be three months' salary, so that they can pay more attention to the information." Liu Feng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Okay." Nicole nodded, she has already received the finances, and she is now reviewing all the shops in Xiyang City.

"Let the scientific research department make more tea trays, and burn more good ceramic cups at the kiln." Liu Feng ordered lightly. The promotion of tea culture has made a good start. From now on, the income from single tea leaves every year It's a huge sum of money.

"Okay." Nicole nodded seriously.

"By the way, how much money did the goods in the capital sell for?" Liu Feng put down his teacup. Now Xiyang City needs a large amount of coins. For example, tomorrow's auction is to make money. He has already asked people from the intelligence organization to start the auction. There will be momentum.

"Eleven thousand two hundred and thirty-two gold coins, sixty-seven silver coins, and four hundred and twenty-one copper coins." Nicole read solemnly.

"More than [-] pieces? It seems that Darlene has raised the price." Liu Feng narrowed his black eyes slightly. There is an estimated price for the goods in the capital, and the current price is ten times higher than the estimated price. of two.

"Darina said that because there were too few goods, those nobles competed to increase the price first, resulting in a much higher price." Nicole's gray eyes looked at the egg tart crumbs at the corner of Liu Feng's mouth, and her heart quickened for some reason.

"Just share it with Darlene according to the requirements in the contract, and give another one hundred gold coins, which can be regarded as a commission for her performance." Liu Feng raised the corner of his mouth and said gently, "Just say that I rewarded her alone, no Into her family's bill."

"Okay." Nicole pursed her lips, the money Darlene earned for the young master, these one hundred gold coins are really nothing.

"Well, tonight's egg tart is delicious." Liu Feng picked up another egg tart and stuffed two mouthfuls into his mouth.

In terms of cooking, Nicole has nothing to teach him. Nicole is limited by the material problem and knows more than him. He has sorted out domestic and domestic menus and will translate some when he has time. Practice with Nicole.

"Master, don't move." Nicole's cheeks were flushed, she reached out to pinch the crumbs of the egg tart that were sticking to the corner of Liu Feng's mouth, and put them into her mouth.

"..." Liu Feng stared at Nicole in a daze, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, this behavior a little teased him.

"Gag..."

In the next second, the study door opened, and Liu Feng's strange thoughts were calmed down.

"Master, I'm here." An Li said crisply, bouncing in, her ears twitching.

"Washed up? Where's Mina?" Liu Feng turned his head to look at Weiya, Avery, and Tees who came in one after another from the study door, but he didn't see the cat-eared lady.

"She said she was going to collect today's information." An Li pouted her pretty nose, immediately saw the egg tart on the desk, and subconsciously pursed her lips.

"Let's eat, one for each person." Liu Feng looked at the furtive look of Hu'er Niang with a funny face, and pushed the egg tart over.

"Then young master, have you eaten?" An Li asked, she knew that Nicole had prepared it for the young master, so Nicole had only soaked in the hot spring for a while.

"Eat." Liu Feng waved to Di Si and the others.

"Then we'll share." An Li immediately stepped forward, took the egg tart plate and shared it with the horned wolves.

"Tiss, what's the situation in Xiyang City today?" Liu Feng looked at Niujiao Niang, who swallowed the egg tart, and handed over the teacup.
