Two days later, Daoxiangzhai held the summer bidding meeting as scheduled.

Si Shi has just arrived, with dragon and lion dances and firecrackers blasting.

Crowds of people arrived, and the streets and alleys were bustling with activity. It was just a bidding fair held by a shop, but it actually made the whole street as hot as a temple fair.

In order for the bidding meeting to proceed smoothly, Song Xi specially sent a dozen guards to help maintain order, and also arranged several secret guards to quietly protect Yu Yalan's safety.

After a simple opening ceremony, Yu Yalan read out the rules and procedures of the bidding meeting to everyone.

Because there were too many people who signed up for the bidding meeting in the past two days, the twelve pastry recipes that Daoxiangzhai originally planned to sell were very likely to be insufficient. In order to prevent the losers from being dissatisfied with Daoxiangzhai due to the difficulty of competition, Yu Yalan temporarily

It was decided to add recipes for twelve sauces such as soybean paste, bean paste, chili sauce and pork sauce to the bidding content.

Each company can send a representative to participate in the bidding. After winning the bid, the same company cannot compete for the remaining formulas.

When the people learned that the bidding content had doubled, they immediately started discussing excitedly. Although they didn't know what kind of sauce it was, judging from Daoxiangzhai's reputation and taste, these new additions were also worth looking forward to.

After the bidding meeting officially started, the waiter brought the first bidding item to the table.

Everyone took a closer look and saw a box of mung bean cakes, a book and two copies of the formula transfer deed placed on the tray.

"The first bidding item, mung bean cake, has a base price of thirty taels of silver." Yu Yalan said, knocking the bidding hammer.

When everyone present heard that the reserve price was so low, they felt unbelievable and the whole place was in an uproar.

"I guess everyone in the county can afford this minimum price, right? No wonder we have to draw lots randomly."

“I thought I could just join in the fun, but I never thought I could join in!”

"Son! Go home quickly and take out all the money. If we can get the formula, we can have a serious business!"

As a result, the people in the county all got busy, collecting money, counting money, and plundering money... In the end, the number of people who decided to participate in the bidding actually tripled than before.

Yu Yalan gave everyone a quarter of an hour to discuss and prepare, and then distributed bidding cards to everyone who wanted to participate in the bidding. Participants only needed to write down their bids, names and addresses, and after completion, put the bidding cards into the lottery in Amber's hand.

Just box.

Many people actively participated in the first round of bidding. Everyone stared at the lottery box with eager eyes, looking forward to good luck coming to them.

With a cold business smile on her face, Yu Yalan faced the scorching gazes of everyone, gently shook the dark wooden lottery box a few times, and then randomly took out three cards.

"The candidate Lin Sen bids 5 taels of silver to represent the Lin family on Yongxing Street; the candidate Liu Dachui bids 3 taels of silver to represent the Changlong Casino on Yongle Street; the candidate You Qing bids 20 taels of silver to represent the Xiang Man Lou on Yongfu Street.

.Please ask the three bidding candidates to stand in front of their bidding cards and wait for the ocelot Huahua’s final choice.”

After Yu Yalan read out the list of bidding candidates, Amber led them to the final selection table.

The three candidates cheered and stood in front of the bidding platform with excitement and apprehension, while the rest of the people who failed to win either sighed or applauded, and the scene was very lively.

On the desk, the Yu family's ocelot cat Huahua was lying lazily behind the bidding cards. Seeing that all the candidates had arrived, it stood up leisurely and stretched its body. Its glazed green eyes observed the candidates with different expressions one by one.

Three people.

Lin Sen, who was dressed in shabby clothes, saw Mao'er's eyes sweeping over him, and immediately bowed and saluted and asked: "Master Cat, I was born into a poor family late in life. I have spent all my wealth on these five taels of silver. I just hope that I can win the formula and get a long-term livelihood.

In order to alleviate my family’s difficult situation, please have mercy on me, Lord Cat!”

Huahua seemed to sense the sincerity and sincerity of the person in front of her, and responded with a gentle "meow".

The onlookers who failed to win were greatly surprised and talked about the cat's spirituality.

"Really? This cat is really smart!"

"Interesting! If I am selected in the future, I will try this method too."

"This is generally true for cats and dogs. If you talk to them a lot, they will always get some reaction. It's not surprising."

Seeing this, You Qing, the representative of Xiangmanlou, immediately started chatting with the ocelot in the same way, "Little kitten, my bid is the highest. You have to learn how to make money for your master. You can't make a hasty choice."

Someone else."

Liu Dachui from Changlong Gambling House curled his lips and said with disdain: "It's really worthless! What's the use of whispering to a short-haired beast? Choose quickly, don't talk nonsense! It's all a waste of time."

When Huahua saw that he looked fierce and had a bad attitude, she immediately arched her back and let out a low warning sound, as if she could launch an attack at any time.

Although Huahua, who has been enlightened by the spiritual spring water, cannot fully understand human language, it is not a problem to understand the general meaning and feel the likes and dislikes of human beings.

Amber on the side quickly stepped forward to comfort the ocelot. After Huahua calmed down, he loudly reminded everyone: "Ocelots are smart, sensitive and aggressive. Please don't provoke them at will, otherwise you will be disqualified from bidding."

Liu Dachui didn't say anything more after hearing this, but still had a scarred face with a fierce expression.

After Hu Bo retreated three meters from the desk, Yu Yalan, who was standing not far away, announced the start of the final election.

Huahua walked elegantly and paused for a while in front of each candidate's card. The necklace around her neck, which was transformed into a soul-reading bracelet, also changed colors accordingly.

Yu Yalan selected the winning bidder according to the color prompts of the bracelet, and then used her spiritual consciousness to inform the white wolf in the space, who then conveyed it to the ocelot on the desk.

With everyone watching nervously and expectantly, Huahua finally picked up Lin Sen's card and handed it to Amber.

"The winner, Lin Sen, comes from the Lin family on Yongxing Street. The transaction price is five taels of silver. Congratulations!"

Yu Yalan finally announced the result. Lin Sen happily ran to Huahua and thanked her non-stop, and then hugged excitedly with the eagerly awaiting family members in the crowd.

"What good luck! The Lin family can rely on mung bean cake to make a comeback."

"That's right! Daoxiangzhai's mung bean cake is fragrant, soft and glutinous, sweet but not greasy. It is the best-selling snack in the county. If you want to eat it in the future, you have to go to Helin's house to buy it."

"I didn't expect that asking the cat would actually work! I'll try it later too!"

Although the two people who lost the election were a little disappointed, thinking that there were still twenty-three recipes to fight for, they stopped worrying and immediately returned to their master's house to discuss the next countermeasures.

Yu Yalan signed the transfer deed with the winning bidder Lin Sen on the spot and handed him the mung bean cake on the tray and the book recording the production recipe and process.

"In three days, you can come to Daoxiangzhai with the deed to learn how to make mung bean cake. Chef Biyun will teach you until you learn it, ensuring that the taste of mung bean cake is exactly the same as that of Daoxiangzhai."

Lin Sen was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately bowed to Yu Yalan with great gratitude. He also ran to the ocelot cat Huahua and promised to prepare delicious food for him as a thank you after making money.

The deal was concluded, and everyone onlookers completely believed in Daoxiangzhai's sincerity in selling pastry recipes. They all geared up and looked forward to other projects in the future, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
