Transmigrating To The Ancient Times With Lu's Convenience

Chapter 147

At the beginning of the bidding, there were still some rich people from Sha County participating. But soon it was only the young masters from the capital city bidding against each other.

It was a huge leap from twenty taels to fifty tales, so people were stunned.

"80 Taels!" a young master raised his hand.

People in the hall gasped.

......

Ma Hu took a glance at the young master who was leaning on the handrail on the second floor and he exclaimed in his heart, 'Wow, such impressive appearance!'

The color and the aroma of Roast Whole Lamb were indeed extremely tempting. Ma Hu even thought about joining the bidding and treating his guards in the beginning, but soon he gave up on the idea.

In the end, the young master called Gao Jun got the lamb with an offer of 80 taels of silver. Other young masters soon surrounded Gao Jun and congratulated him, Gao Jun gave them a nodding with a triumphant smile.

Wei Qiyu was the one who offered 50 taels, but he stopped his bidding right after he saw it was Gao Jun who bid against him. He had no intention to offend Gao Jun from the Prime Minister Gao's family in the slightest way.

......

Many customers in the store were still stunned by the offer, it took them a while to applaud for Gao Jun.

Chen Xiao Cai breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Xiao Cai was so glad that the auction went so smoothly, he was even more glad that Roast Whole Lamb became famous together with this auction.

Originally, in order to create some hype for the auction, Chen Xiao Cai invited a few friends to act like they were here for the auction, he had even asked them to bid. However, the young masters from the capital city had overwhelmed him, none of his friends had actually made a bid.

Ma Hu and his guards left the restaurant after they watched the auction. He was still in a daze when he walked out from the restaurant gate.

"Boss Ma, isn't that crazy? Roast Whole Lamb, some dish, is sold for 80 tales of silver, you can buy a ferghana horse with that amount of money."

All sorts of feelings welled up in Ma Hu's mind. He used to take pride in his profession, he and his guards travelled all the way from hometown to Sha County for trade, they could make several taels of silver from one trip, but they had risked their lives for this! Chen Xiao Cai, however, had just made eighty taels of silver from an auction.

Ma Hu suddenly felt so defeated and disheartened.

"I thought Sha County was poor, but I'm so wrong!"

"The local people in Sha County are indeed not rich. The people who were bidding were all young masters from the capital city!"

Ma Hu turned around and glanced at the signboard of the hot pot restaurant, his mind in a whirl. People in Forest Town all said that Chen Xiao Cai was a business genius, and he had always been dubious about that. However, after a trip to the hot pot restaurant, he suddenly felt so dwarfed.

......

After Gao Jun got the Roast Whole Lamb, he invited a few friends to try it together.

Wei Qiyu and Ji Yun An were both on good terms with Gao Jun, so they were invited as well.

The Roast Whole Lamb was perfect combination of color, aroma and taste.

The young masters all praised themselves as gourmets, but they all found it mind-blowing how delicious this lamb was.
