Chapter 467: 468

"What? Are you sure there is really a treasure map at the auction tomorrow?" Qiao Mu's eyes widened. His first thought was that he couldn't believe that the treasure map of the Brutus Orc Kingdom was being auctioned? How can this be?

"Yes, I just heard about it too, and it came from the tea house." The jackal orc said affirmatively.

"Did that woman, An Li, take out the treasure map for auction?" The only thing Qiao Mu thought of was this, and the more he thought about it, the more ugly his face became. The treasure map fell into the human race, which meant that his success rate in completing the mission was very slim.

"Master Qiao Mu, what should we do now?" the jackal orc lowered his head and said, he felt that this mission was about to fail, and thinking of His Royal Highness Dis's ferocity, they might not have a good time this time.

"Damn it, how could she do this and hand over the orc's things to the human race?" Qiao Mu gritted his teeth and let out a low growl.

The jackal orcs shrank their necks, turned their heads and glanced at the gazes around them, and quickly comforted them in a low voice, "Lord Qiao Mu, we can grab the treasure map."

"Hmph! Idiot." Qiao Mu glanced at the jackal orcs and scolded, "You want to die, but I don't want to."

During the few days he was in Xiyang City, he also heard some information, that is, there were at least five or six hundred knights in Xiyang City, and a quarter of them were orc knights.

With such a number of knights, he lost all thoughts of snatching them. The unequal strength gap is simply like an egg bumping against a stone, and he is overconfident.

"Hey..." The jackal orc smiled awkwardly, and he just blurted out when his head got hot.

"Auction, what time is it tomorrow?" Qiao Mu said coldly.

"I-I don't know about this yet. Everyone is saying it half-believingly." The jackal orc said awkwardly, "However, I heard that there will be a notice in the newspaper tomorrow morning, saying that an invitation letter is required to enter."

"I heard? I don't want to hear about it. If you want accurate information, go and find out immediately." Qiao Mu raised his hand, pointed at the forehead of the jackal orc, and growled, "Quick, go."

"Yes, yes..." Cold sweat dripped down the jackal orc's forehead, and he turned around and ran away.

"Damn it, are you going to participate in the auction to take pictures of the treasure map?" Qiao Mu's face was gloomy. He only brought a few hundred gold coins here. I hope those people don't take the treasure map seriously.

...

When Shi Mi passed by Pearl Pavilion, he was attracted by the name of the store. He also saw many people in the store, so he walked in involuntarily.

"Pearl Court? It seems that my lord wants to buy pearls for Miss Fei again." The knight said with emotion, he knew that Viscount Smith was pursuing a girl, and that girl had some distant relatives with the eldest prince, and she seemed to like pearls very much.

"Haha... I hit it, I hit it, there are pearls..."

Before Shi Mi entered the door, he heard an ecstatic voice, which made him frown, so excited to buy a pearl? He knows most of the people inside, they are all from the capital, and they have all seen the world, so it doesn't make sense to be so demeaning, right?

"Tat Tat Tat..."

"Huh? Where are the pearls?" After entering the door, Shi Mi saw many large wooden barrels and a group of people gathered together. What pearls are there?

"Guest, if you want to buy finished pearls, you can go up to the second floor." The receptionist stepped forward and said.

"What are they doing?" Smith pointed to the excited and annoyed voices in the crowd.

"Those customers are betting on clams, that is, betting on pearls." The man said skillfully.

"Gambling on pearls?" Shi Mi was stunned, so arrogant? To gamble with pearls?

"Guest, just go up and have a look." The man raised his hand to signal, no matter what he said, he would not make people understand what kind of clam exists.

"Oh?" Smith raised his eyebrows and walked towards the crowd. With the help of the knight, he walked into the crowd. Just as he got in, he saw a middle-aged man holding a knife, and one end of the knife was tied with an iron knife. The chain is fastened to the table, and the other hand holds a black oval.

"It must be hit, it must be hit..." the middle-aged man was muttering, prying the black thing with a knife.

"Crack..."

Everyone around fell silent and stared fixedly at the clam.

"Huh..." The middle-aged man took a deep breath, and snapped open the clam shell, inside lay four white pearls.

"Hahaha... I hit it! Four pearls, I made it, I made it, I made it..." The middle-aged man immediately shouted excitedly, waving his hands.

"This... is this how the pearls came from??" Shi Mi was dumbfounded, so the precious pearls were pried out by this kind of thing? His world view was completely refreshed, he always thought that pearls came from a kind of ore.

He was just about to ask, what is this thing called, when he heard someone discussing a topic next to him.

"These pearls are quite small, so they shouldn't be worth much money, so let's make a small profit. I heard that a pink pearl was opened a few days ago. It was 14 millimeters in size, and that was the real treasure."

"Really? Fourteen millimeters? Is that big?"

"I also heard from my friends that there will be an auction tomorrow night. I guess it will appear at the auction. The price must be very expensive."

"Yes, the pink pearl is fourteen millimeters in size. There must be many people fighting for it."

"..."

Smith listened quietly at the side. He wants to participate in this auction. If this pink pearl is auctioned off and given to Miss Fei, she will definitely let her marry me, so that he can get closer to the eldest prince. .

"Then, let's gamble now." The corner of Shi Mi's mouth rose. This betting on pearls is very interesting, so what if you don't play for a while.

Chapter 0566 or roll.

As night fell, the excitement of the day was slowly covered by the night.

In the study room of the castle, Liu Feng was correcting the government affairs. With so many disaster victims today, he needed to ask about resettlement issues.

"Master, drink some tea to refresh yourself." Nicole came in with the tea and placed it lightly on the desk. Her long flaxen hair was still a little wet, and it looked like she had just taken a shower.

"En." Liu Feng put down the notepad, rubbed the center of his eyebrows with one hand, picked up the tea with the other, blew it a few times, and took a sip. The taste of the black tea was quite good, slightly sweet.

"Master, today the teahouse sold fifteen tea trays and twenty-five catties of tea, earning a total of seventy-three gold coins." Nicole said softly. This is the bill reported by the manager of the teahouse just now.

"Oh?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "I didn't expect those nobles and merchants to have such strong purchasing power."

This was really beyond his expectation. He thought it would be great if he could sell 20 or 30 gold coins, but he didn't expect the charm of tea to be so great.

"Hehe...Master, those people also bought a lot of pastries." Nicole covered her mouth with a chuckle, pulled her long hair down her forehead, and said, "The pastries sold for eleven gold coins."

When the report first came out, she still couldn't believe that those nobles and merchants actually bought so many pastries.

"It's really... special!" Liu Feng had a strange expression. He bought pastries while drinking tea. The pastries were originally used for decoration, so they were very expensive and the portions were small. It just made drinking tea not so monotonous, but it was so popular .

"Today is still the first day. Those businessmen and nobles haven't gone shopping much. After a few days, the reputation of tea will spread, and more people will come to buy tea trays and tea sets." Nicole analyzed, putting a plate of egg tarts Push it in front of Liu Feng.

"En." Liu Feng picked up a piece of egg tart, opened his mouth to bite off half, chewed a few times, lifted the other half and stuffed it into Nicole's mouth.

Nicole stared blankly at the egg tart in front of her, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she bit the egg tart with her pink lips lightly. Such an intimate gesture made her a little shy. Fortunately, there were only two people in the study, and everyone else had gone to the hot spring.

"Bonuses for the employees of the teahouse will be three months' salary, so that they can pay more attention to the information." Liu Feng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Okay." Nicole nodded, she has already received the finances, and she is now reviewing all the shops in Xiyang City.

"Let the scientific research department make more tea trays, and burn more good ceramic cups at the kiln." Liu Feng ordered lightly. The promotion of tea culture has made a good start. From now on, the income from single tea leaves every year It's a huge sum of money.

"Okay." Nicole nodded seriously.
