First, let's talk about Xi Shan Restaurant. Nowadays, Xi Shan Restaurant has almost become synonymous with high-end dining. Yesterday, a restaurant opened in the Capital City, and the business was incredibly booming.

Anyone with a bit of means would want to dine there because the food is genuinely delicious. But there's one question: we all have one brain and two hands, so why is the food at Xi Shan Restaurant so tasty?

That's because they use vegetables from Xishan Manor. All the vegetables from Xishan Manor come from a designated farm at the foot of Xianling Mountain, absorbing the essence of Spirit Mountain, making their taste incredibly unique.

Today, the items we are auctioning are the very vegetables from Xishan Manor. Everyone present can raise their paddles and compete. Simply put, if the price is high enough, then it's yours.

Recently, a customer approached our boss and asked whether the items sold at our auction are authentic.

I'm here to clarify that the products auctioned at our International Auction House come with a 100% quality guarantee. If anything sold from us is found to be fake, compensation will be promptly made.

Feng Chen's words stirred quite a commotion among the attendees, causing much discussion.

Feng Chen seemed to have provided assurance, dispelling any worries for those who want these items; they could bid with confidence.

At this point, Feng Chen continued: "This product was contractually signed with Ling Zhenfei, the person in charge of Xi Shan Restaurant. Everything appearing at this auction is guaranteed to be authentic.

If, after the auction, anything provided by Xishan Manor is found to be counterfeit, compensation at three times the auction price will be made. Among these items is something called Heart-Talk Fruit Seeds.

Feng Chen hadn't finished before the mention of the Heart-Talk Fruit Seeds caused an uproar below, as they were indeed here for these seeds.

At this point, Feng Chen said: "These Heart-Talk Fruit are very special; it's just a single seed, but to ensure its authenticity...

Mr. Ling guarantees that he will personally help whoever wins the Heart-Talk Fruit Seeds plant them in a pot, and he assures that within ten days, the seeds will definitely sprout.

If the seeds do not sprout, Ling Zhenfei is willing to compensate at the price or offer a new Heart-Talk Fruit seedling that has already sprouted."

Feng Chen explained everything clearly, sparking more chatter among the crowd, who largely agreed that Ling Zhenfei's terms were excellent.

Although these people initially harbored some doubts, now their worries were completely dispelled. First, Ling Zhenfei is a celebrity, and his words are as irrevocable as spilled water; there's no way to take them back.

If a celebrity changes their mind, they would become a laughingstock. Moreover, whoever bids for these items would make headlines the next day. It's truly an excellent promotional tactic.

By this time, Feng Chen had collected everything and was ready to start the auction.

The Little Hammer knocked three times on the table, immediately silencing everyone. All eyes were on Feng Chen on the stage, their eyes full of anticipation.

Feng Chen clapped his hands, and someone came in from the back carrying a tray covered with a red cloth. Obviously, the auction items were on it.

Everyone followed the auction hostess's figure from afar to the auction stage.

After placing the item properly, Feng Chen continued: "I'm familiar with the vegetables from Xi Shan Restaurant, and they're something I personally enjoy. There's one dish in particular that I find irresistible every time."

"That dish is White Jade Crisp Lotus Root. Anyone who's tried it knows its taste is incredibly delicious, and I've even heard the seller say you can eat it raw due to its special qualities.

Since you're all here, you must be aware of the vegetables from Xishan Manor. White Jade Crisp Lotus Root is among them, with a very unique taste, something very special indeed.

Let's not waste any more time. The starting price is one million, with a minimum bid increment of one hundred thousand. Let's begin the auction."

The first vegetable is the White Jade Crisp Lotus Root, considered one of the top-tier vegetables from Xishan Manor. It's been soaking in water infused with Spiritual Liquid for a long time, greatly changing its texture.

As Feng Chen mentioned, anyone who's tried this lotus root would undoubtedly praise its texture.

The people here are evidently experts, and they clearly understand the value of this lotus root.

"Two million!"

"Three million!"

"Five million."

The price of the lotus root kept climbing, quickly reaching eight million. Using a million to buy rights to these vegetables is extraordinary.

In the past, Ling Zhenfei had to beg people to buy Xishan Manor's vegetables, exerting tremendous effort to finally promote them successfully.

Now, it's come to the point where people are auctioning off the rights to buy a type of vegetable.

At this point, Chen Qian picked up the phone and said: "The price of White Jade Crisp Lotus Root must not fall below ten million, keep increasing the bids for me."

After hanging up, the price, which had been slowly rising past eight million, was directly pushed to ten million.

Everyone exclaimed it was insane; just for the rights to a type of vegetable, it had reached ten million. Isn't that crazy?

Meanwhile, Xiao Sa, who was doing a live broadcast from a corner upstairs, was stunned. He said to his viewers: "I can't... I need to calm down."

"Did you see that? Ten million, don't get it wrong, this isn't an auction for an antique or some valuable pearl or jade; it's for the rights to a type of vegetable.

The rights to White Jade Crisp Lotus Root have reached ten million. Everyone must have tried it; at Xi Shan Restaurant, White Jade Crisp Lotus Root is a must-order dish, but for the rights to be ten million, isn't that crazy?"

"But everyone should also think about how amazing Xi Shan Restaurant is. The taste of White Jade Crisp Lotus Root is indeed great; otherwise, it wouldn't sell at such high prices. We'll see how much the other vegetables sell for."

After someone raised the price to ten million, it started rising again, eventually reaching thirteen million, though it was increasing more slowly.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "I think the price is about right; let's have our people stop increasing the bids."

Chen Qian said, "The ten million was our own doing, but it's not us after that."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned: "Are you saying there's genuinely someone else bidding?"

At this point, Ma Long entered the room and said: "You two have underestimated the value of your vegetables. Of course, people would appear to buy them."

Both Ling Zhenfei and Chen Qian looked at Ma Long, who said: "I'm just informed that Silver Dragon Investments prepared six hundred million for this auction, and Yali is about the same."
