Chapter 38 Afternoon Tea
The servants were waiting outside the door, and Valen and Brown walked in with their bodies straightened.
After coming in, I found that the layout of this house did not look like an auction venue.
A long table with chairs placed around it looks like a dining room.
However, since it was a small auction, the two of them didn't care much.
Valen and Brown came early. In addition to them, two other businessmen were already sitting in their seats.
After all, I was not very familiar with each other, so Valen nodded and said hello.
"They are here too?"
After finding a seat to sit down, Brown was a little surprised. He knew these two businessmen. One was in the fabric business and the other was in the iron business, both of which were not as good as salt.
"No one will refuse the tempting gold coins."
Valen shook his head.
Not long after, more than a dozen invited merchants arrived, and several merchants also sat next to Valen and formed a small group. Everyone started to communicate in a low voice.
"Your Excellency, do you know the ladies outside?"
"I don't know which one it is."
"They are all so elegant, and their clothes are beautiful, which is the type I like!"
"Is that clothes you like?"
"hey-hey……"
The businessmen here are rich in experience and knowledgeable. But today they are like Brother Chu, discussing which young lady has a better figure and which one is more popular.
If you want to say that these welcome ladies are not particularly beautiful, they are more beautiful than them. These businessmen have seen a lot of them. However, when the young ladies with slim look, they have the noble temperament that others cannot compare to.
Many people even felt itchy after watching it.
Crunch!
As the merchants whispered to each other, the sound of pushing the door sounded again.
Zhang Feng and Caroline appeared together, followed by Blanche.
Blanche is the strong man caught by Zhang Feng, who acts as a temporary auctioneer.
Blanche was not surprised to know that Zhang Feng was going to hold an auction. Blanche was not surprised to know that Zhang Feng wanted to be the auctioneer, but when she saw the items Zhang Feng was going to auction, her eyes were about to fall to the ground.
Even now, there is still a shocking afterglow in her eyes. Now she understands why Zhang Feng dares to give him a high salary of 30 silver coins per month.
"Hello, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lady!"
When they saw the two, the merchants stood up to salute.
"Hello everyone!"
Zhang Feng felt it was normal when they heard them calling themselves the city lord, but Zhang Feng always felt a little strange in his heart.
Caroline followed Zhang Feng closely and kept a proper distance from everyone, but she did not seem too distant. Her every move was very elegant, and the word "noble" was perfectly interpreted in her.
Zhang Feng said with a kind smile:
"I am very honored to be able to attend my auction with all my busy schedules. I heard that many people came back from a very distant place overnight, probably not having time to have lunch, right?
I have prepared some simple afternoon tea to replenish everyone's hunger, and I hope you don't dislike me."
Seeing that the city lord was so polite whether he was speaking or doing things, these merchants were a little flattered and even forgot to speak.
Which of the nobles they had seen before was not arrogant and arrogant?
If the aristocrats had not had much money and were easier to make money, businessmen would not be willing to deal with the aristocrats.
But today I saw Zhang Feng, the new city lord for the first time. With his simple words, they felt that most nobles could not compare!
Valen reacted first, and he quickly said politely:
"Where is it, the city lord is so polite!"
At this time, all the merchants also came to their senses, not even busy, or not hungry. Although they didn’t know what afternoon tea was, they still had to be polite.
In fact, except for Valenbron and others who stayed in Red Leaf City, there were indeed merchants coming from other places.
After all, not every businessman happened to be in Hongye City, but through their messages, they knew that Zhang Feng had sent a small gift, and they really didn't want to give up this opportunity, so they came from all over the place and didn't have time to have lunch.
"You guys, please sit down, afternoon tea is ready."
Zhang Feng walked straight to the main seat and sat down. Caroline sat quietly and elegantly beside Zhang Feng.
"Paipa."
Zhang Feng clapped his hands, and the female guests who made the businessmen's eyes shine in one after another.
They pushed a small dining cart full of tempting food.
Originally, businessmen were all staring at these young ladies, after all, everyone had a love for beauty. It was rare to meet women who made them, such old men, who were attracted to them.
But when they discovered the food they brought, everyone couldn't take their eyes off, including Caroline.
Cups of milk tea with a strong fragrance were served by the welcome lady and placed in front of everyone.
Everyone looked at the steaming water in front of them in surprise, wondering what such a fragrant thing was.
Then there were sandwiches with ham, eggs, lettuce, tarts with attractive colors, fruit salads, and a large piece of fried venison with a crispy and tender inside.
Gu Long ~
Almost everyone swallowed.
In fact, in Zhang Feng's opinion, because of the limited ingredients, these afternoon teas are really shabby, and they don't even have a cake, which doesn't look tempting. After all, even milk tea is instant.
But this is just Zhang Feng’s own opinion.
In the eyes of others, this afternoon tea is both hearty and beautiful, especially the aroma of that cup of instant milk tea is even more irresistible!
Although it hasn't started eating yet, just by looking and taste, no one will find it unpleasant.
After serving all the food, the welcome ladies stood politely aside, and Zhang Feng said:
"People, please."
Some people could not help it anymore. As soon as Zhang Feng finished speaking, he immediately picked up the milk tea and drank it.
"Gulugulu~Wow! Is this a cone candy added? It's so sweet and delicious!"
Some people took the lead, others were no longer reserved and started moving.
Caroline tasted a small mouthful of milk tea in an elegant posture. The aroma of milk and tea was raging in her nostrils, and the rich sweetness bloomed on the tip of her tongue. With the right temperature, her comfortable eyes narrowed.
"Zhang Feng, what is this? It's so sweet!"
Caroline asked secretly in a low voice.
"Do you like to drink milk tea?"
Zhang Feng tasted it and it felt average. He prefers to add fruit and pearls.
"Yeah, I like it!"
In these few days, Caroline's favorite drinks, from red wine to coke to milk to milk tea, changes are uncommon!
A fickle woman.
Zhang Feng silently complained in his heart. Then he whispered:
"This taste can only be considered average. I'll give you some better taste in the future."
"Uh-huh!"
Caroline nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice. She didn't care what Zhang Feng said was better. What she cared about was that Zhang Feng was willing to give it to her.
"Wow, is this Queen's bread? It's so soft and tastes so wonderful!"
"For the first time, I knew that fruits didn't need to be cooked, and such fruits were delicious!"
