Chapter 37 - Bidding

The commotion at the entrance of the pavilion had long attracted a group of people. These people were frequent customers of the hall, and all of them had met this knife-scarred man once before.

He also knew that this fellow was usually unruly and unreasonable. When the opponent didn't attack, the opponent would just scold him.

But today's situation did not seem right. The knife-scarred man actually pouted and begged to admit his mistake. It was obvious that the young man in front of him was a ruthless character.

Just as everyone was startled by the knife-scarred man's actions, a middle-aged man suddenly walked out from the crowd. He rushed towards Zhang Yitian as if he was attracted by something.

”Lad, are you talking about bamboo egg?” The man pointed at the basket of bamboo egg and asked, ”Wild or domesticated?”

Zhang Yitian nodded his head and laughed: ”Yes, this is a bamboo egg, and a top quality one at that. In the entire city, I think only my family would be able to sell it!”

After all, this was a high-end hall. Many people had eaten the wild game Bamboo Chicken before, which was not cheap, but they still only knew a little about bamboo egg.

However, this middle-aged man seemed to be very knowledgeable about this.

He looked at Zhang Yitian who was very confident in his bamboo egg and asked: ”I have eaten bamboo egg before and its taste was average as well.

Zhang Yitian laughed and said to the middle aged man: If Sir doesn't believe it, please give it a try!

The middle-aged man asked the waiter to pour a glass of vodka and picked out a bamboo egg from Zhang Yitian's egg basket.

A lot of people with status know what this is about, and a lot of people like it. It was like beating an egg into strong wine. This also had a vivid name, it was called Shuiyue.

However, many people with status would only use precious egg birds to display their value in these kinds of tricks. Only then would it show their value.

Furthermore, the rarer the egg, the more precious it was. Once soaked in the strong wine, it could instantly merge with the strong wine. Not only did it not obstruct the original dry fragrance of the strong wine, it also added a delicious taste impact.

Thus, when they heard the middle-aged man call out for vodka, some of the people nearby laughed mockingly and said, ”Aren't you being too naive? ”How can an egg like that be worthy of this outrageous vodka?”

That person's doubts were not without reason. The price of this vodka was clearly set at 1800, which was not something an ordinary person could afford. It would be a waste to try out this unknown egg with this glass of wine.

However, the questioning voice was unable to stop the middle-aged man. He skillfully broke the egg, and in an instant, a fragrant smell drifted out from the broken eggshell, directly pouncing towards everyone's noses.

”AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” ”It smells so good!”

”That's right... ”It's almost as fragrant as French red wine...”

”How can such a fragrance float out from an egg...”

The crowd was shocked. Even the calm middle-aged man was greatly surprised after smelling the fragrance.

This so-called bird egg of unknown origin, with just a single strike breaking open the eggshell, made everyone shocked.

Just the scene just now, the middle-aged man had already realized one thing. What did Zhang Yitian mean by ”unique”?

When the middle-aged man thought of this, he became extremely excited. Without thinking too much, he quickly squeezed the bamboo egg into his goblet.

Crash …

A sound that was like a boiling pot of oil came out from the almost-big goblet. ”Hahaha!” ”Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

The level between the egg white and egg yolk of bamboo egg was originally very distinct. The egg white was as clear as jade and the egg yolk was gold in color. It made one salivate just by looking at it.

The moment the bamboo egg touched the vodka in the cup, the entire cup boiled. The egg white and egg yolk quickly dissolved and fused together with the red-brown strong liquor.

With the addition of the bamboo egg, not only did the originally dark and strong wine instantly turn crystal clear, the wine fragrance that was trapped within the wine cup even gushed out, becoming even more tempting.

This was simply magic, and the crowd burst into cheers.

These people were all members of the upper echelons of society who were experienced and knowledgeable. What they had seen was far beyond what Zhang Yitian could compare to.

But at this time, only Zhang Yitian was smiling, while the others were staring with widened eyes and stretched out their necks, not only did they want to take an extra look at this miraculous scene, they also wanted to smell that tempting fragrance.

The middle-aged man's hand that was holding the wine cup started to tremble, because the scene just now had completely exceeded his expectations.

Furthermore, the ”crescent moon in the water” with the added bamboo egg was right in front of him right now. The fragrance that gushed out, was simply like a hallucinogenic drug that deeply attracted him.

Seeing the middle-aged man stunned, Zhang Yitian smiled and reminded him, ”Sir, please have a taste!”
