The Rough Hunter’s Little Lucky Wife Chapter 285 Appraisal

285 Appraisal
Fang Tianliu had lived for so many years, but he had never seen anyone do business like this.
The shop hadn’t opened yet but people were anticipating it.
Even those people didn’t know what the tasting conference was going to do tomorrow. It was outrageous to ask people to pay money.
What was even more ridiculous was that those people were really willing to pay.
“I’ve already registered the deposit, and I’ve also left the contract and the matching cards on it as you said, in case someone tries to blackmail me.”
“Thank you.” Zhao Zhan thanked him sincerely.
“Now that I’m here, I’ll get the business of the shop back on track.”
“We’ve been doing fine.” Fang Tianliu waved his hand repeatedly. “Speaking of which, I still have to thank you for something else. Xiangjun and I have cleaned up this shop from scratch during this period of time, and we have also created such a big scene in Huai County. I estimate that after a period of time, I will be able to get engaged to her soon enough.”
Fang Tianliu was so happy that the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears. His hand secretly touched the pouch hanging from his waist, and his smile became more excited.
Xiangjun had personally embroidered this for her!
Zhao Zhan lowered his head and flipped through the posts one by one. He stopped at the name card of Shang.
“Shang actually has the nerve to come out?”
Fang Tianliu snorted coldly with disdain. “Shang hasn’t been showing his face. I asked around and found out that he didn’t dare to come out because he felt embarrassed. After the news of what happened in our shop got out, we rejected the attendants sent by Shang.” Fang Tianliu still gritted his teeth at the thought of the Lantern Festival. After that, Shang swaggered out on his own, and the next day, someone went to the county government to report that someone was killed.
Later, news spread in Huai County that if anyone talked about Shang again, there would be loyal people who would avenge him.
In this way, when Shang goes out again, the people of Huai County would only dare to complain in their hearts. They don’t dare to talk about it casually.
Zhao Zhan lowered his eyes, his gaze fixed on the name of Shang.
What a ruthless method.
“Zhao Zhan,” Fang Tianfeng poked him, “You’re smarter than I am. Can you think of a way to stop Shang from coming? I feel disgusted just by looking at his hypocritical face.”
Fang Tianliu’s face was full of anger. “To think that I used to think that he was a kind merchant.”
“If he wants to come, then let him come.” Zhao Zhan closed the invitation and put it aside. “As a businessman, we can’t go against money.”
The next day, Yue Jiaojiao lazily sat on the bed and didn’t want to get up.
Zhao Zhan tidied up and brought breakfast into the room. When he saw that Yue Jiaojiao was still asleep, he walked over and sat by the bed. He raised his hand and tucked her messy hair behind her ears, then quietly left the room.
In the shop, 12 shopkeepers and merchants were sitting on both sides of the table.
Zhao Zhan was dressed in a long black robe, and he was still wearing the hairpin that Yue Jiaojiao had bought for him.
Lin Chenzhi and Shang happened to be sitting face to face.
Other than the two of them, there was also Shopkeeper Zhou From Huaijing Inn who was an old acquaintance of Zhao Zhan. Other than him, there were a few other people that Zhao Zhan did not recognize.
“Zhao Zhan, you’ve secretly organized this meeting and even charged each of us a hundred silver as a security fee. That’s preposterous.” Shang sat at the front and looked at Zhao Zhan with a faint smile. “If today’s item isn’t worth that much silver, you should know what will happen to you.”
Zhao Zhan looked into Shang’s eyes without fear.
“If you think it’s not worth it, I can return the silver to you now and ask you to leave.
“We’ve done enough publicity. The people sitting here today are all people who know what to anticipate for.
“Everyone has their own estimate of the value in their hearts.” Zhao Zhan’s voice suddenly rose. “The evaluation is only for the fated! It seems that you aren’t cut out for it.”
“How dare you!”
Shang slammed the table and stood up.
Lin Chenzhi spoke leisurely, his voice not loud but loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. “Even if it is a joke to be sitting here for a hundred silver… A plate of rare dishes at home is worth hundreds of gold. If you can’t even afford to gamble on fun, what business can you do? You should just go home.
“If you want to leave, then hurry up. Without you, my chances of winning might be a little higher.”
Lin Chenzhi raised his chin at Zhao Zhan, as if he had a good relationship with him.
Shang’s face turned red! However, he had come all the way to this day, and he boasted that he managed to secure a seat here.
Lin Chenzhi exuded an air of nobility as he sat across from him with a graceful bearing. Moreover, his words seemed to come from a powerful background. Shang gritted his teeth and held himself back from retorting, his stomach full of loathing falling on Zhao Zhan’s head.
There must be something between the two of them!
Shopkeeper Zhou saw that the atmosphere was a little stagnant and tried to smooth things over. “Zhao Zhan, we’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. Let’s quickly get to it.”
“Thank you.” Zhao Zhan cupped his hands in a salute, “I’m sure you’ll be interested in today’s offer.”
Zhao Zhan’s gaze swept across the crowd one by one. His expression was calm and his tone was sincere. “Today’s meeting is actually also a bidding competition.”
Hearing the word bidding, the people sitting below all had different expressions.
Zhao Zhan clapped his hands, and four attendants walked out from the backyard with trays in their hands.
There were a total of twelve porcelain plates on the tray. It just so happened that everyone on both sides of the table had a portion.
“There are chopsticks and spoons in front of you,” Zhao Zhan said, standing behind the long table. “You can try the food on the plate.”
“Hold on!” Shang raised his hand and pointed at Shopkeeper Zhou, who was sitting diagonally across from him. “I want to exchange my share with him.”
Zhao Zhan’s eyes darkened, and then the corners of his lips curled up as he deliberately looked at Shang. “As long as Shopkeeper Zhou agrees, I have no objections. After all, I think everyone here understands why Shang is so sensitive and worried that someone will harm him today. Of course, I hope everyone understands his reasoning.”
The others could not help but laugh.
Shopkeeper Zhou’s face was scrunched up as he tried to hold back his laughter. He stood up and exchanged the one in front of him with Shang’s.
“You can definitely have him. Zhao Zhan is a generous and sincere person. I believe he will not harm anyone.”
Shang’s face was extremely unsightly.
He looked at the plate in front of him, not knowing whether to take it or not.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Zhou had taken the lead, the others had already picked up their chopsticks, picked up the food on the plate, and put it into their mouths.
“This…”
Shopkeeper Zhou’s eyes widened. “The taste of this dish is so unique. I have been running an inn for so many years and have developed many new dishes, but this is the first time I have tasted something like this.”
The others nodded in agreement. “You’re right. It does taste unique.”
