Chapter 37 - Bidding

The commotion at the entrance of the pavilion had long attracted a group of people. These people were frequent customers of the hall, and all of them had met this knife-scarred man once before.

He also knew that this fellow was usually unruly and unreasonable. When the opponent didn't attack, the opponent would just scold him.

But today's situation did not seem right. The knife-scarred man actually pouted and begged to admit his mistake. It was obvious that the young man in front of him was a ruthless character.

Just as everyone was startled by the knife-scarred man's actions, a middle-aged man suddenly walked out from the crowd. He rushed towards Zhang Yitian as if he was attracted by something.

"Lad, are you talking about bamboo egg?" The man pointed at the basket of bamboo egg and asked, "Wild or domesticated?"

Zhang Yitian nodded his head and laughed: "Yes, this is a bamboo egg, and a top quality one at that. In the entire city, I think only my family would be able to sell it!"

After all, this was a high-end hall. Many people had eaten the wild game Bamboo Chicken before, which was not cheap, but they still only knew a little about bamboo egg.

However, this middle-aged man seemed to be very knowledgeable about this.

He looked at Zhang Yitian who was very confident in his bamboo egg and asked: "I have eaten bamboo egg before and its taste was average as well.

Zhang Yitian laughed and said to the middle aged man: If Sir doesn't believe it, please give it a try!

The middle-aged man asked the waiter to pour a glass of vodka and picked out a bamboo egg from Zhang Yitian's egg basket.

A lot of people with status know what this is about, and a lot of people like it. It was like beating an egg into strong wine. This also had a vivid name, it was called Shuiyue.

However, many people with status would only use precious egg birds to display their value in these kinds of tricks. Only then would it show their value.

Furthermore, the rarer the egg, the more precious it was. Once soaked in the strong wine, it could instantly merge with the strong wine. Not only did it not obstruct the original dry fragrance of the strong wine, it also added a delicious taste impact.

Thus, when they heard the middle-aged man call out for vodka, some of the people nearby laughed mockingly and said, "Aren't you being too naive? "How can an egg like that be worthy of this outrageous vodka?"

That person's doubts were not without reason. The price of this vodka was clearly set at 1800, which was not something an ordinary person could afford. It would be a waste to try out this unknown egg with this glass of wine.

However, the questioning voice was unable to stop the middle-aged man. He skillfully broke the egg, and in an instant, a fragrant smell drifted out from the broken eggshell, directly pouncing towards everyone's noses.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "It smells so good!"

"That's right... "It's almost as fragrant as French red wine..."

"How can such a fragrance float out from an egg..."

The crowd was shocked. Even the calm middle-aged man was greatly surprised after smelling the fragrance.

This so-called bird egg of unknown origin, with just a single strike breaking open the eggshell, made everyone shocked.

Just the scene just now, the middle-aged man had already realized one thing. What did Zhang Yitian mean by "unique"?

When the middle-aged man thought of this, he became extremely excited. Without thinking too much, he quickly squeezed the bamboo egg into his goblet.

Crash …

A sound that was like a boiling pot of oil came out from the almost-big goblet. "Hahaha!" "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

The level between the egg white and egg yolk of bamboo egg was originally very distinct. The egg white was as clear as jade and the egg yolk was gold in color. It made one salivate just by looking at it.

The moment the bamboo egg touched the vodka in the cup, the entire cup boiled. The egg white and egg yolk quickly dissolved and fused together with the red-brown strong liquor.

With the addition of the bamboo egg, not only did the originally dark and strong wine instantly turn crystal clear, the wine fragrance that was trapped within the wine cup even gushed out, becoming even more tempting.

This was simply magic, and the crowd burst into cheers.

These people were all members of the upper echelons of society who were experienced and knowledgeable. What they had seen was far beyond what Zhang Yitian could compare to.

But at this time, only Zhang Yitian was smiling, while the others were staring with widened eyes and stretched out their necks, not only did they want to take an extra look at this miraculous scene, they also wanted to smell that tempting fragrance.

The middle-aged man's hand that was holding the wine cup started to tremble, because the scene just now had completely exceeded his expectations.

Furthermore, the "crescent moon in the water" with the added bamboo egg was right in front of him right now. The fragrance that gushed out, was simply like a hallucinogenic drug that deeply attracted him.

Seeing the middle-aged man stunned, Zhang Yitian smiled and reminded him, "Sir, please have a taste!"

The middle-aged man chuckled. The actions of someone like him had caused him to lose his composure.

He smiled excitedly, raised his glass, and drained it in one gulp.

In just an instant, an indescribably refreshing and stimulating feeling spread out along the man's esophagus. Soon, his entire body seemed to have been infected, and an illusory feeling appeared all over him.

"This... It's too amazing! " The middle-aged man's eyes widened in shock, "This … "It's too wonderful..."

Of course, others wouldn't be able to understand this feeling. However, when they saw the middle-aged man's expression and tone of voice, they were all astonished. The crowd also started to discuss amongst themselves.

After a long time, the middle-aged man finally got back to his senses. Tears of excitement flickered in his eyes as he said, "Little brother, to be honest, I once had the privilege of tasting the classic Italian best bartender Ferro's' intoxicated '. That wine feels great, but today I drank it.

The crowd roared once again with incredulous cries. Ferro was the world's top bartender, and the price of a single cup of wine was already in the tens of thousands of dollars. This man actually said that Zhang Yitian, a mere bamboo egg, was actually even stronger than the intoxication that Ferro brought out?

Everyone's gazes finally descended onto the ordinary looking young man, and they couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

"Lad, are you selling this bamboo egg?" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

Zhang Yitian was waiting for these exact words. He smiled and said to the person who asked: "Of course I'm selling, but …."

Zhang Yitian purposely kept them in suspense for a long time before saying, "I only have around forty plus bamboo egg now."

Zhang Yitian used 'only', and the meaning was extremely clear, it was just that these bamboo egg were very valuable, the quantity is limited, if you want to buy them, you can, but the price will naturally be higher.

These people were all smart people, so they could easily see through Zhang Yitian's thoughts. But to be able to come here, which one of them was not an illustrious person with a rich armor, would naturally not care about the money.

The man said proudly, "Fine, name a price, I want them all!"

This caused Zhang Yitian to be troubled, how much was appropriate? If it was too cheap, he would not be willing to part with it. After all, he only had a dozen or so Bamboo Chickens, and could probably only accumulate a few dozen bamboo egg s every month.

Even if Zhang Yitian wanted to expand his business, it was not something that could be done in a day and a night. Even waiting for his bamboo egg to supply the market would only take a few months.

Zhang Yitian now had a baseline in his heart, and that was that he naturally could not ask for too low of a price. If the price was too low, then it would be a hindrance for him to expand his business in the future.

Zhang Yitian considered for a moment, then said with determination: "Three hundred pieces of bamboo egg!"

When Zhang Yitian finished speaking, the crowd became restless once again, even the waiters by the side who were watching the show laughed mockingly.

Right now, the best egg was only worth three yuan per egg. Even if it was those rare bird eggs, the price would only be several tens to over a hundred yuan.

The waiter, who was just knocked down by Zhang Yitian, muttered: "This guy really doesn't know what's good for him. What does he think he's selling? An egg made of gold? "It actually costs three hundred yuan …"

Right now, the entire hall was abuzz with discussion, all of them talking about the astronomical price of the bamboo egg.

It was the middle-aged man who had just tasted the bamboo egg. "Fine, I'll take all three hundred pieces!"

The waiter who had just mocked Zhang Yitian thought that he had misheard, and actually asked his comrade a question. After getting confirmation, he was immediately dumbstruck.

How is this possible? Three hundred eggs for one egg, over forty eggs for over ten thousand!

Sure enough, the world of tycoons was something they could not understand. The waiter even started to regret what he had just done.

How could he be so ignorant as to offend such a god of wealth? If Zhang Yitian's bamboo egg could really be sold in their pavilion, then the people who came by name, would probably cause the pavilion's income to increase by a large amount.

Zhang Yitian was right, if the boss knew that he had rejected the God of Fortune, he would probably gang up on him. Let alone whether or not he would be able to keep his job, even if the boss himself could just let him off …

Just when everyone was astonished at this man's extravagance, a well-dressed young man walked out from the crowd. He seemed to be around 30 years old and had a heroic look on his face.

"Gen Ho, there are more than forty bamboo egg here. It would not be good for you to take all of them yourself, right?" The young man smiled. "How about giving half of it to brother?"

The young man did not forget to introduce himself, and he politely said to Zhang Yitian: "Little brother, hello, I am Tian Yulin. If little brother is willing to sell to me, I am willing to offer fifteen thousand!"

Zhang Yitian smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the middle-aged man: "Brother Tian, isn't what you're doing a bit improper? I, He Feng, spoke first! "

Tian Yulin did not get angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said: "Gen Ho, I, too, really do like this bamboo egg. We can discuss our business matters in the future! "

He Feng was naturally not a person who was short of money, but he really wanted face. It was clear that Tian Yulin's public appearance to fight with him over this bamboo egg had done him too great a disgrace.

"Since Brother Tian likes it so much, why don't we bid?"

Bidding was something that only the rich could do. They wanted to show off their skills. Although Zhang Yitian didn't understand all this, he had a feeling that his basket of bamboo egg s would be sold for a sky-high price!
