Chapter 488 487. Auctioning Bachelors (1)

At noon, the two bought various snacks in the square. The Harvest Festival celebration attracted many tourists, and their purchasing power was very strong, so various snack trucks drove over.

Sophie ate more elegant food, such as salted peanuts, fried corn with salt and pepper, etc. Li Du ate a lot, and he used small flying insects when archery, which consumed a lot of energy.

He was embarrassed at first, after all, he didn't eat much in front of Sophie before.

As a result, after the female doctor found out that he had a good appetite, she became interested, and took him around to buy snacks just like the little girl who ordered food:

"Here, eat an oyster omelet. This is an omelet invented by gold miners in those days with breaded oysters, bacon, and eggs. It's delicious! Give me some!"

"This latke is delicious and lo and behold, it's topped with curry radish ginger soup, it's amazing! Give me a piece!"

"Don't just eat, you need to drink, look, here's a weird coffee drink, double espresso with cardamom almond, it's amazing! Wow, there's a skull on the foam! I'll take a sip and you don't Do you mind?"

Sophie introduced him to buy it all the way, but Li Du wanted to pay, but she held her back: "No, I'll just buy it for you."

"No, what's the point of this?"

"Of course it should be. You helped me win a big bear."

"You helped me take care of me, oh."

"Just listen to my old lady. Do I have to tell the truth?"

Li Du looked blank: "What's the truth?"

Sophie salivated at the food in his hand, and said, "Actually, these are all the things I want to eat, but I can't eat too much, they are too high in calories."

"Then what?"

"Then I will gain weight if I eat it, but if I only eat one bite, it will be wasted. Fortunately, with you, I can taste the taste and not waste it. Of course I should pay for it." Sophie said as a matter of course.

Li Du finally understood why Sophie had to share a bite every time she bought something delicious.

But he thought about it and thought it was good.

When he bought something later, he took it in his hand and ate with Sophie, and even drank the drink from the same cup, and the two walked together like a couple.

After lunch, Sophie began to look forward to it, and she dragged Li Du to the performing arts stage in the square to wait.

Li Du asked, "What is this for?"

Sophie said expectantly: "The most interesting event is about to start, an auction!"

Li Du smiled and said, "Do you think the auction is very interesting? Then you might be able to participate in my work. There is an auction every day."

Sophie smiled mysteriously, "This is no ordinary auction."

Being whetted by her again and again, Li Du became curious, what is this auction for? Auctioning crops? Auctioning livestock?

People gathered from behind one after another, and soon hundreds of people gathered around the stage, everyone was discussing, Li Du wanted to hear what they had to say, but Sophie gave him an earphone.

"what?"

The female doctor said with a playful smile: "Keep the mystery, hurry up, put on the earphones, and don't listen to what they say, otherwise there will be no surprises later."

Li Du had no choice but to put on the earphones, which contained piano music one after another, but the female doctor turned up the volume so high that his eardrums trembled all the time.

About 20 minutes later, Mayor Thompson stepped onto the stage, someone handed him a pair of white gloves, and then the people below shouted:

"Auction! Auction of bachelors!"

"Look who's this year's Golden Bachelor!"

"If there is a handsome guy, I think I will definitely do it, and I will not be soft!"

Now even with the earphones blocking it, Li Du still heard the voices outside. He looked at Sophie in surprise and asked, "Auctioning a bachelor? Is it the auctioneer?"

Sophie covered her mouth and smiled: "Yes, yes, auction of bachelors, auction of single men."

Li Du was dizzy, and said, "This is breaking the law, haha, hasn't President Lincoln already freed the slaves?"

Sophie introduced him: "Of course it's not against the law. In fact, this is a traditional event. You know that Michael's Day is an autumn harvest festival in Flagstaff City, and it's used to celebrate the autumn harvest."

"In the past, agriculture and animal husbandry were harvested by hand and physical strength. Strong men were stars. People wanted to have a chance to be alone with stars, so this project was included in the celebration."

"At the beginning, people auctioned off strong laborers. Later, the activities have changed a bit. As long as a single man can go on stage, whoever takes the photo can have dinner with him, have a party and so on."

Li Du asked, "How did you get on stage?"

Sophie said: "There are many ways, one is to be selected by someone, the other is to step forward, and the auctioneer, Mr. Mayor, can also choose."

She spoke louder and louder, as the people cheered, wave after wave:

"Get started! I can't wait for my money!"

"Haha, let's see who is the golden bachelor this time, Du Lun, don't step forward, what's your turn?"

"Let Carter go up, I am willing to spend five hundred yuan to photograph that bastard Carter, if I photograph him, I will let him do my work for a day!"

Mayor Thompson patted the microphone with his hands and said, "Chi Chi, everyone, citizens, laborers, be quiet, please be quiet, the auction is about to begin!"

The voice of the cheering crowd quieted down, followed by applause.

Thompson picked up the microphone and said, "It's a pleasure to be here with you all, and it's a pleasure to be able to participate in the Bachelor Auction with you again. Alright, without further ado, let's invite the first lot!"

The applause was louder, a strong young man was pushed out, and stood up on the stage shyly.

Seeing his helpless look, Li Du said pitifully, "Oh, this guy is so pitiful."

The young man was asked to take off his clothes on the stage, exposing his upper body. His muscles were outstanding, his chest muscles were bulging, and his abdominal muscles were clearly defined. After taking off his shirt, the sound wave reached another level.

Mayor Thompson interacted with the youth and asked, "What's your name, young man?"

The young man said honestly, "Hoiberg, my name is Hoiberg Hugh."

"Okay, can I call you Hugh? Hugh, tell us, where are you from?"

"I'm from Jerome." The young man still looked like an honest man, you asked me and I answered.

Li Du nodded and introduced Jerome to Sophie. He had been there before and was very familiar with it.

"What do you do?"

"I am a miner and a fitness instructor, and I am in charge of mining iron ore."

Mayor Thompson smiled and said: "Very good, we caught a big fish at the beginning of this year! A real laborer, a strong miner, then, the auction begins, everyone, get your wallets ready, I want to introduce Rules!"
