Be the Mayor From Today

"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 didn't believe that the treasure map of Brutus Orc Kingdom was auctioned off? How is this possible?

"Yes, I just heard about it. It came from the teahouse." The jackal orc affirmed.

"Could it be that the woman An Li took out the treasure map for auction?" Qiao Mu only thought of this, and the more he thought about it, the more ugly his face became. The treasure map fell into the human race, which means that his success rate in completing the task is very slim.

"Lord Qiaomu, what should we do now?" The jackal orc bowed his head and said, he felt that this mission was about to fail, and thinking of His Highness Diss' viciousness, they were afraid that it would be difficult for them this time.

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

The jackal orc shrank his neck, turned his head and glanced at the glances around him, and quickly whispered comfortingly, "Lord Qiaomu, we can grab the treasure map."

"Humph! Idiot." Qiao Mu glanced at the jackal orc 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, Xiyang City said that there were 500 or 600 knights, and a quarter of them were orc knights.

With such a number of knights, all his thoughts of robbing have been defeated. The unequal strength gap is simply an egg hitting a stone and being overly capable.

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

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

"This, this, I don't know yet, everyone is saying it with suspicion." The jackal orc said embarrassingly, "However, I heard that there will be a notice in the newspaper tomorrow morning, and it is said that an invitation letter is required to enter."

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

"Yes..." The jackal orcs had cold sweat on their foreheads, and quickly turned around and ran away.

"Damn, do you want to participate in the auction to take 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 Smith passed by the Pearl Pavilion, he was attracted by the name of the shop. He also saw many people in the shop and walked in involuntarily.

"Pearl Pavilion? It seems that the lord wants to buy pearls for Miss Fei again." The knight sighed. He knew that Viscount Smith was pursuing a girl. The girl had some distant relatives with the eldest prince, and the other party seemed to like pearls very much.

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

Before Smith 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, all of them from the capital, and they have all seen the world. It doesn't make sense to lose their identity, right?

"Ta Tata..."

"Huh? Where are the pearls?" After Smith entered, he saw many large wooden barrels and a group of people gathered together. What pearls are there?

"This 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 guests are betting on mussels, that is, betting on pearls." The man said skillfully.

"Betting on pearls?" Smith was stunned. Is he so arrogant? To gamble with pearls?

"Guest, you'll know when you go up and take a look." The man raised his hand to signal, no matter what he said, he wouldn't let people understand what kind of existence mussels were.

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

"It must be hit, it must be hit..." The middle-aged man muttered, holding the knife and prying the black thing.

"Crack..."

Everyone around them fell silent and stared at the mussel.

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

"Hahaha... Hit! Four pearls, earned, big profit..." The middle-aged man immediately shouted excitedly, waving his hands.

"This... how did the pearls come from??" Smith was dumbfounded, so precious pearls were pried out of this kind of thing? His world view has been completely refreshed, he always thought that pearls are from a kind of ore.

Just as he was about to ask what this thing was called, he heard someone discussing a topic next to him.

"These pearls are quite small, so they shouldn't be worth a lot of money, so let's make a small profit. I heard that a pink pearl was opened a few days ago. It is as big as fourteen millimeters. That is the real treasure."

"Really? Fourteen millimeters? That big?"

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

"Yeah, a pink pearl, fourteen millimeters in size, there must be a lot of people fighting for it."

"..."

Smith listened quietly. He wants to participate in this auction. If this pink pearl is taken and given to Miss Fei, she will definitely marry me, so that I can get closer to the eldest prince. .

"Then now, start to gamble." The corner of Smith's mouth rose, this betting pearl is very interesting, what if you don't play it.

Chapter 0566 Either get out.

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

In the castle study, Liu Feng is correcting government affairs. There are so many disaster victims today, and he needs to ask about resettlement issues.

"Master, drink some tea and 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.

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

"Master, today the teahouse sold 15 tea trays, 25 catties of tea, and made a total of 73 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 is really beyond his expectations. He thought it would be good to sell 20 or 30 gold coins, but he didn't expect the charm of tea to be so great.

"Hee hee...Master, those people also bought a lot of cakes." Nicole covered her mouth and chuckled, brushing her long hair in front of her forehead, and said, "The cakes sold for eleven gold coins."

When it was first reported, she still didn't believe that those nobles and businessmen actually bought so many cakes.

"It's really... special!" Liu Feng's face was weird. He even bought cakes when he was drinking tea. The cakes were originally used for decoration, so they were very expensive and the portion was small. It just made tea drinking less monotonous, but it was so popular. .

"Today is still the first day. Those merchants and nobles haven't been shopping much yet. After a few days, the reputation of tea will spread, and more people will come to buy tea trays and tea sets." Nicole analyzed, and put a tray of egg tarts. Pushed in front of Liu Feng.

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

Nicole stared blankly at the egg **** in front of her, her cheeks were slightly red, she lightly opened her pink lips and bit the egg tart. Such an intimate gesture made her a little shy. Fortunately, there were only two people in the study, and the others went to the hot spring.

"As a bonus for the employees of the teahouse, three months' monthly salary will be awarded, and let them 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 the shops in Xiyang City.

"Let the scientific research department create more tea trays, and burn some more good ceramic cups from the kiln." Liu Feng instructed lightly, the promotion of tea culture has made a good start, and the annual income from single tea leaves will be It's a huge sum of money.

"Okay." Nicole nodded seriously.
