Chapter 38 - afternoon tea
The servants were waiting outside the door, and Warren and Brown stepped in.
After coming in, I found that the layout of this house does not look like an auction venue.
A long table, surrounded by chairs, looks like a dining room.
But since it was a small auction, the two didn’t care too much.
Warren and Brown came relatively early. Besides them, two other businessmen were already seated.
After all, they didn’t know each other very well, so Warren nodded and greeted them.
“Are they here too?”
After finding a place to sit down, Brown was a little surprised. He knew these two businessmen. One is in the cloth business, and the other is in the iron business, both of which are not in the same league as salt.
“A tempting gold coin, no one will refuse.”
Warren shook his head.
Not long after, more than a dozen invited merchants all arrived, and a few merchants also sat beside Warren, forming a small group, and everyone chatted in a low voice.
“Your Excellency, do you know those young ladies outside?”
“I don’t know, I don’t know which one belongs to.”
“They all have a good temperament, and their clothes are very beautiful. They are the type I like!”
“Is that the clothes you like?”
“Hey-hey…”
These businessmen here are considered to be rich in experience and knowledgeable. But today, like their first brothers, they are discussing which young lady has a better figure and which one is more popular.
To say that these welcoming ladies are not particularly good-looking, they are prettier than them, and these businessmen have seen a lot of them. But this kind of self-cultivation young lady goes to that station, her noble temperament is unmatched by others.
Many people even feel itchy after seeing it.
Crunch!
As the businessmen whispered, the door was pushed again.
Zhang Feng and Caroline appeared together, followed by Blanche.
Blanche is a strong man caught by Zhang Feng to act as a temporary auctioneer.
Blanche was not surprised to know that Zhang Feng was going to hold an auction, and Blanche was not surprised to know that Zhang Feng wanted him to be an auctioneer, but when she saw the item Zhang Feng was going to auction, her eyes were about to close. fall to the ground.
Even now, there is still a lingering lingering shock in her eyes, and now she understands why Zhang Feng dares to offer him a high salary of 30 silver coins per month.
“Hello, City Lord! Hello, City Lord’s wife!”
Seeing the two of them, the businessmen stood up and saluted.
“Hello everyone!”
Hearing them calling himself the Lord of the City, Zhang Feng felt that it was normal, but when they called Caroline the Lady of the City Lord, Zhang Feng always felt a little strange in his heart.
Caroline followed Zhang Feng closely, keeping a proper distance from everyone, but she didn’t seem too distant. Her every move was very elegant, and the word nobility was perfectly interpreted by her.
Zhang Feng smiled kindly and said:
“I’m very honored to be able to show your faces to my auction during your busy schedule. I heard that many people came back overnight from far away places, so I guess they didn’t have time to eat lunch, right?
I prepared a little simple afternoon tea to satisfy everyone’s hunger, and I hope you don’t dislike it. “
Seeing how polite the Lord City Lord is, whether he is talking or doing things, these businessmen are a little flattered and even forgot to speak.
Of the nobles they had seen before, which one was not arrogant and arrogant?
If it weren’t for the fact that the nobles had a lot of money, it would be easier to make money, and businessmen would not be willing to deal with nobles.
But when they saw Zhang Feng, the new city lord for the first time today, with just a few simple words from him, they felt that most nobles were incomparable!
Warren was the first to react, and he quickly said politely:
“Where is it, Lord City Lord is too polite!”
At this time, all the merchants also calmed down, not even busy or hungry. Although I don’t know what afternoon tea is, I still have to be polite.
In fact, apart from the few merchants who stayed in Red Leaf City, Valen Brown and the others did indeed come from other places.
After all, not every businessman happens to be in Hongye City, but through the letter from his subordinates, after knowing that Zhang Feng sent a small gift, they really don’t want to give up this opportunity, so they came all the way and did not have time to eat lunch. .
“You are welcome, all sit down. Afternoon tea is ready.”
Zhang Feng went straight to the main seat and sat down. Caroline sat quietly and gracefully beside Zhang Feng.
“Clap clap.”
Zhang Feng clapped his hands, and the female welcome guests who made the businessman’s eyes brighten filed in.
They pushed a small dining cart full of tempting food.
Originally, businessmen were all staring at these young ladies. After all, everyone has a love for beauty. It is rare to meet a woman who makes these old men like them.
But when they found the food they brought, everyone couldn’t take their eyes off, including Caroline.
Cups and cups of milk tea with a strong fragrance were brought up by the welcoming lady and placed in front of everyone.
Everyone looked at the steaming water in surprise, wondering what such a fragrant thing was.
Then there are sandwiches with ham, eggs, and lettuce, egg tarts with attractive colors, fruit salad, and a large piece of fried venison.
Gulong~
Almost everyone swallowed.
In fact, in Zhang Feng’s opinion, because of the limited ingredients, these afternoon teas are a bit shabby. They don’t even have a cake, and they don’t look attractive. 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 rich and beautiful, especially the aroma of the cup of instant milk tea is even more addicting!
Although it hasn’t been eaten yet, just based on the appearance and taste, no one will think it will be unpalatable. UU reading www. uukanshu. com
After serving all the food, the welcoming ladies politely stood aside, Zhang Feng said:
“Everyone, please.”
Some people couldn’t help it for a long time. Zhang Feng just finished his words and immediately picked up the milk tea and drank it.
“Gulugulu~ Wow! Is this a candy cone? It’s so sweet and delicious!”
Some people took the lead, others were no longer reserved, and started to move.
Caroline tasted a small sip of milk tea elegantly. The aroma of milk and tea raged in her nostrils, and the rich sweetness bloomed on the tip of her tongue. Coupled with the just right temperature, her comfortable eyes narrowed.
“Zhang Feng, what is this? It’s so sweet!”
Caroline asked secretly in a low voice.
“Milk tea, do you like it?”
Zhang Feng tasted it and found it to be normal. He prefers the ones with fruit and pearls in them.
“Hmm, I like it!”
In just a few short days, Caroline’s favorite drink, from red wine to cola to milk to milk tea, has changed not unpleasantly!
A fickle woman.
Zhang Feng silently complained in his heart. Then he said in a low voice:
“This taste can only be considered normal. I’ll bring you some better ones later.”
“Uh-huh!”
Caroline nodded as if 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 fluffy and delicious!”
“For the first time, I learned that the fruit doesn’t need to be boiled, and this kind of fruit is delicious!”
“My family also often eats venison, and occasionally adds some spices, but the taste can’t be compared with that of the Lord of the City. The difference is simply heaven and earth!”
