Chapter 337 Auction House
The waiter said: "Our roasted bird restaurant mainly roasts various muscles, including chicken gizzards, chicken hearts, chicken breasts, chicken legs, etc. But as for the signature dish, I recommend it You try the chicken skin. The roasted chicken skin here is well-known. We use the best butter spring chicken produced in Tiandou City. This kind of chicken is grown on sunflower seeds. The gravy is very tender and the chicken skin is plump. If you squeeze it with your hands, the chicken fat in the chicken skin will be squeezed out in the form of a transparent gel, which is nutritious and delicious. "
"Stop talking, I can't stand it anymore, come on. "Twenty skewers, five for each of us." Qian Lei couldn't bear the description of the waiter.
Lan Xuanyu said: "Let's have four more skewers of chicken legs. Then we'll order some juice."
"Okay, everyone, wait a moment." The waiter went to make arrangements.
Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei sat on one side, while Dong Qianqiu and Lan Mengqin sat on the other side. Lan Mengqin smiled and said: "The description of this waiter's uncle is really amazing! I immediately got a huge appetite when I heard him talk about it."
Qian Lei stretched his neck and looked in the direction of the kitchen, already a little unable to bear it.
Not long after, a metal tray was brought up, with four glasses of juice, plus a plate of grilled chicken skin and chicken legs.
Suddenly, a strong aroma hit my face. The skin of the roasted chicken that had just been served was still shiny. The golden chicken skin was slightly burnt in a few places, but it only added to the temptation of eating. Hearing the slight "chichi" sound coming from the oil and smelling the rich aroma, the four of them couldn't hold back any longer. They took action almost at the same time, each grabbing a bunch and eating it.
When they took a bite, they couldn't help but inhale the hot chicken skin, but soon, a strong aroma mixed with the aroma of barbecue filled their mouths instantly. The chicken skin was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The crispy texture and rich aroma made everyone feel at ease. People's eyes couldn't help but light up.
It was almost like a wind and a cloud. I ate a plate of grilled chicken skin and chicken legs. The chicken legs were tender and juicy, and very delicious. The rich aroma brought by the chicken skin complemented each other.
“I still want to eat, why don’t I change the place?” Qian Lei looked at Lan Xuanyu eagerly.
Lan Xuanyu said: "Listen to everyone, I can do it."
"Then let's eat some more before changing!" Dong Qianqiu said with a smile. In fact, none of the four of them had enough.
By the time they left the bird roasting shop, they had eaten all the varieties in the bird roasting shop.
"Ahem, I don't think there's a need for a second one. The auction is about to start. Let's come back to eat next time." Qian Lei said with some embarrassment.
The four of them looked at each other and smiled. They were really satisfied with this meal, and their mouths were full of oil. After the meal, the relationship between everyone seemed to be getting closer.
Lan Mengqin suddenly raised her finger to the sky and said: "I propose that we come to the food court to eat once a week in the future. We will never eat so much in one place next time. Ah, the grilled fish in front looks good. It’s tempting! Look at the promotional picture, there are so many peppers, I love spicy food. Unfortunately, I can’t eat any more.”
"Agreed, once a week." Dong Qianqiu also smiled.
"Okay!" Lan Xuanyu licked the oil on his lips. Today's meal of roasted bird really made him feel happy.
Walking through the food court should be a very wonderful thing, but for four people who are already full, it is not so happy. After finally breaking out of the food siege, the sky had darkened and the auction was not far away. The four of them no longer cared about admiring the surrounding buildings. They accelerated according to the navigation and went straight to the auction house.
More than ten minutes later, hurriedly and slowly, they finally saw their destination. Seen from a distance, Shrek City Auction House looks like a huge theater. The exterior facade is completely repaired with jade-like stone. There are human figures carved on the outside. Each sculpture is a human figure but different. On the front side alone, there are more than fifty sculptures, each of which is more than ten meters high.
The main entrance of the auction house is wide, with a red carpet extending from the door and more than thirty steps to the bottom. There are people at the door responsible for checking the auction qualifications. You can feel it from their breath and eyes, not only Soul masters, and they are all quite powerful soul masters.
The four of them didn't stop until they reached the bottom of the steps. They took a look at the time and saw that they were not late.
Walking up the steps, the person in charge of checking qualifications at the door looked at their school uniforms, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became very similar, "Classmate, please check your Shrek communicator."
The four of them stretched out their wrists, and the man scanned it with an unknown instrument, then immediately confirmed and said to them: "Please come in, the seat is still in the Shrek Academy special area in the front row, you can do whatever you want Sit.”
Lan Xuanyu asked: "Uncle, how many areas are there in the auction house? This is our first time here, so we are not familiar with it yet."
The man smiled and said: "The auction house is very big, and there are many areas. There are multiple areas, of which the general area is the largest and can accommodate 3,000 people at the same time. Each person needs to pay a certain deposit to receive a license plate to enter. In addition to the general area, there are a circle of VIP rooms on the second and third floors. Auctioneers who are willing to reveal their identity or strong bidders will choose private rooms, but the deposit price is very high. Your Shrek Academy has a special area in front of the general area. Of course, you can also choose private rooms. But if it's a private room, you need to pay a deposit. The Shrek Academy deposit can be replaced by a purple badge. "
"Oh, thank you." Lan Xuanyu immediately understood the general rules here. If nothing else, the teachers and students of Shrek Academy would definitely receive preferential treatment if they participated in the auction here.
"Then do we need a number plate?" Dong Qianqiu asked.
The man said: "You don't need it. You will receive it when you enter the special area of Shrek Academy. There is no need to pay a deposit in the ordinary area. After all, the guarantee of the academy is more than anything else. The private room is private because of its privacy. An additional deposit is required. There are many auction methods in our auction house. Today is the most common auction, which happens once a month. It is also the largest auction, so there will be many people participating, and there will be many lots, and it will last until late at night. Bid from low to high, and the later items will be more valuable.”
“We usually have some basic bidding here, as well as interesting auctions such as guessing the lowest price. Pay with Shrek Academy badges. Badges are absolutely hard currency here, and there is a certain premium.”
Qian Lei said excitedly: "What is the exchange ratio between badges and federal coins?"
The gatekeeper said: "The white-level badge is equal to 10,000 federal coins, and the yellow-level badge can be exchanged for 200,000 federal coins. The purple-level badge can be exchanged for two million federal coins. I’m not sure about the higher-level badges.”
The yellow-level badge and the purple-level badge are directly worth twenty times? Moreover, the most common white-level badge can be exchanged for a full 10,000 federal coins! The purchasing power of federal coins is quite good. Lan Xuanyu vaguely remembers that his father Lan Xiao's monthly salary seems to be only 70,000 to 80,000 federal coins, which is already considered high-tech. His mother seems to only be 30,000 to 40,000, right?
Calculating the number of various badges on his body, Lan Xuanyu is equivalent to millions of dollars, excluding the black-level badge lent to him by his teacher. This was unimaginable before.
The gatekeeper took the trouble to say: "We welcome badges the most, because there are many good things in Shrek Academy, even more than our auction house, and those good things cannot be bought with money, they can only be used You can exchange the badge for federal currency at any time, but you can’t buy Shrek’s badge with federal currency! You can only exchange it with your students. If you want to exchange it, the private exchange price should be higher than what I mentioned. It can float a little higher.”
