Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

Since it is the first round, most people are still in a wait-and-see state, and nearly half of the people in the field have not yet finished.

Jin Gui congratulated Peng Hu next to him: "Congratulations to Boss Peng, you have a good start!"

Peng Hu smiled humbly: "Where, my brother, this is a self-awareness. I think it's a good position after I come, and it's not my turn."

When Jin Gui heard him say this, he was not happy but worried, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at several rooms in the field.

Starting from this, the atmosphere at the auction gradually became hot, and more and more people competed in the next auction.

An hour later, the price of the best location of the shop was five times the starting price!

Jin Gui's forehead was covered with a thin layer of cold sweat. He was very fortunate that when he was in the midfield, he gritted his teeth and persevered with the encouragement of Peng Hu. After all, he got a place.

Peng Hu congratulated him next to him, Jin Gui laughed twice, and murmured, "I hope this time is not in vain."

At this time, the bidding for the last spot was over, and just when everyone thought the auction was over, Xi Ling hooked his lips and released the last big move.

"Next, is the last item in this auction, and the most special item." He said loudly.

He gestured to the side with his eyes, and soon, a young man walked into the arena with a wooden tray, and placed the wooden tray on the special table in the center of the table.

The wooden plate looked unremarkable, with only a small pile of yellow seeds on it.

This is the only thing that has appeared at this auction.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the small wooden plate at this time.

Xiling deliberately did not speak, and when everyone's doubts reached the peak, he said, "The last item to be auctioned - the seeds of the red cage fruit, that is, 'chili', are dedicated to the Fengdeng Building."

There was an instant uproar off the field.

——

Since the opening of Feng Deng Lou, everyone has come back to it. The essence of the biggest signature cuisine in the building lies in the red cage fruit added to it.

Red caged fruits were rare in the Sheng Dynasty, but it was not without them. Many people who were willing to spend money bought pots of red caged fruits after they scattered some money.

But soon, these people discovered that these red basket fruits used for viewing were not only small in size, but also not pure in spiciness. They were incomparable to those in Fengdenglou.

How do they know that the peppers grown in Cao Mi Villa are high-quality edible peppers that have been domesticated for hundreds of years before being widely accepted, and they are completely different from today's "Honglongguo".

But despite this, some people, relying on the east wind of Feng Deng Lou's prosperity, provided dishes with "hong lang guo" to those who had not reserved a place in the restaurant.

Peng Hu and Jin Gui have followed the trend and tried it.

But they are the people who have really tasted Fengdenglou peppers, and they found something wrong as soon as they entered the mouth.

After a few times, everyone has to admit that the spicy dishes in Fengdeng Building cannot be replicated.

Now, Feng Deng Lou actually took out their unique secret recipe - pepper seeds, which surprised everyone.

Seeing that the reaction in the field had achieved the effect he expected, Xiling smiled and then explained: "This auction of pepper seeds is not a simple transaction between money and goods.

"Fengdenglou will give three copies of pepper seeds to the three guests with the highest bids. But after the seeds are sent out, the auctioneers are required to plant them according to our guidance. After planting, the first year's harvest, there are seven Success must be returned to Feng Denglou. In the second year, 50%. In the third year, 30%.

"Three years later, Fengdenglou will be acquired at the market price. Unless the auctioneer uses it for himself, he will have to give priority to selling the peppers to Fengdenglou."

After he explained the requirements of auctioning "seeds", the audience immediately began to whisper.

Cao Mi took out the pepper seeds and attached so many rules, but he actually had his own considerations.

Now, after everyone discovered that the peppers in Fengdenglou were strange, they have begun to use all forces to track them down. Many powerful people have already reached out to Rongguang Villa, and they probably know that the Bei'an Palace is the master behind all this.

It was probably because of the power of the Bei'an Palace. After these people knew the situation, they temporarily stopped their testing and did not want to collide with the palace.

But there are still a small number of people, who turned from light to dark and began to arrange.

Rongguang Villa has a very wide range, and Cao Mi has no doubt that it is only a matter of time before they get the real pepper seeds in the villa.

But chili peppers are not the focus of Cao Mi's attention. Her mind has always been on those staple foods that can fill people up.

After discovering this, she simply thought of throwing the pepper seeds directly to divert the world's attention and protect the sweet potatoes and corn that she plans to vigorously expand next.

So, she made the pepper seeds the final protagonist of this auction.

The latter series of regulations are also made out of consideration for the market.

Cao Mi believes that once the chili seeds are sent out by her, they will spread quickly. After three years at most, when the production of chili peppers increases, the corresponding price will drop.

At that time, even if the restaurant needs to purchase chili from the outside, it will not cost too much money.

On the stage, Xiling finished speaking the rules, and the auction has already started.

He said: "The starting price: 10 taels of silver."

Because Cao Mi was not looking for this auction price, he did not set the reserve price too high.

But soon, the fierce bidding in the field made her stunned.

All the people present were not stupid, and more or less guessed Cao Mi's plan, but just relying on the 40% of the peppers they could keep for themselves, they could also get huge benefits in the first year.

Therefore, those in the field who are interested in using chili to benefit from it are not reluctant to ask the starting price at this time.

Soon, the price exceeded one hundred taels, and even started to sprint to two hundred taels at an extremely fast speed.

Two quarters of an hour later, the dust settled on the field, and the pepper seeds were finally photographed by three landowners who owned large tracts of land in Liaozhou.

Cao Mi had some impressions of several people. Knowing that these three companies could definitely help her attract most of her attention, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Beside him, the third child said to her with bright eyes, "Mother, you made a lot of money this time!"

Cao Mi squeezed his face: "Yeah, Qi Ran is very happy?"

Qi Ran nodded: "Well! With money, you can buy a lot of delicious acridine!"

"Apart from buying food?" Cao Mi pinched his cheek: "What else can money be used for?"

She always felt that her third son shouldn't be so "stupid". Although he couldn't compare to the first two monstrous brothers, he shouldn't be thinking about food all the time!

Qi Ran blinked, thought for a while, and said: "You can save it, build a big villa, and recruit all those refugees."

He said, clapping his hands happily: "It's great to have a lot of money!"

Cao Mi was a little dazed.

She had always known that Qi Ran was pure and kind, but she never thought that he would have such a kind idea.

However, Little Fatty is not a positive person, except for what he eats, everything else is something that can be taken with the flow in his opinion.

Cao Mi silently wrote down his wish in his heart, thinking that if he needed it in the future, he could help push it.

Then, she turned her head and chatted with the other two children: "What about you? If Qi Rui and Qi An had a lot of money, what would you do?"

Hearing this, Qi Rui clenched his fists and said, "Recruit soldiers, buy good horses, attack the Rong tribe, and regain lost ground!"

Qi An stood beside him and said excitedly: "Yes, follow my brother! Attack the Rong tribe and regain lost ground!"

Cao Mi shook his head somewhat amusedly.

Today, two major events affecting their political stance have not yet happened. In the hearts of these two children, the Rong family is still the only "enemy" in their hearts.

Recovering lost territory is the wish of every citizen of the Sheng Dynasty. While Cao Mi is pleased with their ambition, he is also worried about their safety.

After thinking about it, she could only say: "How easy is it to regain lost ground? You...well, in short, even if there is a chance in the future, you must be well prepared before you can act."

Qi Rui and Qi An looked at her and nodded solemnly.

In the auction hall, as the auction of pepper seeds ended, the auction also came to an end.

Xiling said: "Thank you for coming here today. Next, there is a little gift from Fengdeng Restaurant, which is also the new dish we are about to launch. Please enjoy it slowly."

He clapped his hands, and the little two who had been prepared outside lined up to enter.

The original fruit plate cakes on the table in the field were removed and replaced with large iron pans.

The style of these iron pots is a bit strange. They are divided into two halves. One half holds the red soup with floating peppers, and the other half holds the milky white soup.

People who haven't seen this kind of thing are a little stunned.

This kind of iron pot is called Yuanyang Pot, and it was custom-made by Cao Mi from Huaitong.

A long time ago, Qi You and her discussed how to build a high-temperature kiln and how to improve iron smelting. After all this time, the experiment there seems to have been fruitful.

Cao Mi didn't know what step the King of Bei'an had achieved, but she only knew that when she asked for this kind of mandarin duck pot, Qi You directly agreed.

Some time ago, these iron pots were sent from Huaitong.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Cao Mi chose to officially launch hot pot at this time.

Many people in the field consider themselves to be well-informed. At this moment, they have put away their surprised expressions, calmed down, and tasted delicious hot pot under the service of Xiao Er.

Cao Mi is very confident in the power of this kind of food that has captured the love of hundreds of millions of people in modern times. Sure enough, everyone in the field quickly exclaimed in admiration.

She took three children and ate very happily in the wing!

Today's auction was more successful than she had imagined, and Cao Mi's appetite increased, and she even ate two bowls of meat more than usual!

——

And the King of Bei'an, who was still lurking in Jirong City, did not have such a good treatment at this time.

Qi San's vanguard had paved the way for them in the city, but Qi You and the others still needed to act like a caravan and do business in the city.

One day, when Qi You and Qi San were guarding the goods they put on the street, they came across a little beggar who came to beg for food.

The little beggar was about ten years old, extremely thin, with a few shabby Rong fur on his body, but his face covered with dirt was clear and clear, like a child of the Sheng Dynasty.

When he stretched out the bowl that was missing several corners in front of Qi You, Qi You took out a fairly complete bean dregs cake from his arms, broke out a small half, and gave it to him.

The little beggar didn't seem to have any expectation of getting the food. When he got the bean dregs cake, he was even stunned for a moment. He looked up at Qi You and ran away.

After a while, he came back with someone.

A group of little beggars crowded around the street corner, chatting in the direction of Qi You and Qi San.

Qi You and Qi San have been paying attention to them silently, confirming that these people are the faces of Sheng Chao.

After a while, the little beggars seemed to have negotiated a charter. They sent the two youngest children in the team to come forward again to beg for food.

Qi You thought for a while, but did not refuse, and broke a little from the bean dregs cake.

Until he and Qi San had less than a quarter of the cake left in their arms, they were no longer willing to give alms.

After all, their current status is still the "Slave of Sheng Dynasty" in the Rong caravan. Even if they pity these little beggars, they must have a degree.

Next, for three or four days in a row, no matter where Qi You and Qi San appeared in the city, the little beggars could find them and go forward to take 70% of the food in their arms.

Qi You watched with cold eyes, only silently giving alms, and did not take the initiative to approach.

A few days later, the little beggar began to take the initiative to communicate with him.

The child who came to beg for food at the beginning looked at the tall Qi You and Qi San timidly, and asked, "You guys, are you also from the Sheng Dynasty?"

This sentence is the language of Sheng Dynasty!

But what made Qi You more concerned was the word "also".

You must know that adding the word "also" to this sentence, if it wasn't for the child's scheming, at least it proves that in their hearts, they recognize that they are from the Sheng Dynasty!

Qi You nodded calmly: "Of course, you can guess from our appearance, right?"

The little beggar smiled and seemed happy for his correct guess.

He carefully glanced at the carriage full of things behind them and swallowed: "You, slaves?"

Qi You made a "hmm" sound.

The little beggar said again: "But you are not the original slaves in the city. You have advanced to the city for six days, following a Rong tribe that we have never seen before."

Qi You and Qi San looked at each other.

The little beggar's words actually revealed a lot of things, and Qi You felt that he might have underestimated them before.

He nodded and explained, "Yes, that merchant is our master."

"Are they good to you?" asked the little beggar.

Without waiting for Qi You to answer, he murmured again: "It must be good... You all have bean cakes to eat every day."

Beside him, Qi San's eyes dimmed.

He laughed at himself: "Oh, is it good to have bean cakes? You can only guarantee that you will not starve to death."

The little beggar looked up at him.

From his thin little face, Qi San suddenly realized that for them, maybe "not starving to death" is a kind of "good".

The little beggar sucked his fingers and asked with a smile, "Is there any more today?"

Qi You took out the bean cake from his bosom, and asked without a trace, "Do you usually... get anything?"

The little beggar nodded recklessly.

He knew what Qi You meant and replied, "I can always find something to eat... But since you've been here these few days, we'll have enough to eat."

Qi Rui's hand holding the bean cake paused.

At this moment, a group of Rong patrol soldiers suddenly appeared around the corner.

When they saw the little beggar standing openly on the side of the street, they rushed up with a roar.

The little beggar was startled and hurriedly ran away, but because of his small size, he was caught up within a few steps.

The Rong soldiers gave him a lesson and threw him into the alley next to him. When he turned back, he warned Qi You and Qi San severely.

Qi You pursed his lips, but there was no emotion on his face.

After a while, after the Rong soldiers left, he let Qi San look at the wind and walked into the alley himself.

The little beggar who had just been kicked and beaten had already sat up and was licking his wounds. He was startled when he heard the footsteps, and only after seeing that it was Qi You did he settle down again.

Qi You handed him a whole bean cake in his hand.

The little beggar was a little surprised, but he was still afraid that Qi You would regret it, so he slammed the whole bean cake into his arms.

Qi You frowned and asked, "Are you injured?"

The little beggar opened his eyes and shook his head: "It's okay, I'm used to it."

His throat moved, and after a while he asked again: "You... have you been living under such threats?"

The little beggar looked up at him suspiciously.

Just when Qi You felt a little stupid and these beggars didn't understand anything at all, the little beggar smiled and said, "Well, it used to be. But... we are about to run away!"

Qi You paused as he left, and looked at him in disbelief.
