At noon, the two of them bought all kinds of snacks in the square. The harvest festival had attracted many tourists, and they had a lot of purchasing power. Therefore, there were all kinds of food trucks.
Sophie ate more lightly, such as salted peanuts, salt and pepper fried corn, and so on. Li Du ate a lot. He used the little bug to shoot arrows, which consumed a lot of energy.
At first, he was a little embarrassed. After all, he did not eat much in front of Sophie.
However, when the female doctor found that he had a good appetite, she became interested. Like a little girl ordering food, she took him everywhere to buy snacks.
"Come, have an oyster omelet. This omelet was invented by the gold miners with oysters, bacon, and eggs mixed with bread flour. It's delicious! Give me some!
"This fried potato cake is delicious. Look, it has a lot of curry radish and ginger soup on it. It's great! Give me a piece!
"Don't just eat, you have to drink something. Look, there's a Weird Coffee drink. It uses double espresso and nutmeg and almonds. It's great! Wow, there's a skull on the foam! Do you mind if I take a sip? "
Sophie introduced and bought for him. Li Du wanted to pay, but she stopped him. "No, I'll buy it for you."
"No, how can I do that?"
"Of course you should. You helped me win a big bear."
"You helped me take care of Ah Ow."
"Just listen to me. Do I have to tell you the truth?"
Li Du looked confused. "What truth?"
Sophie looked at the food in his hand and said, "Actually, this is all I want to eat, but I can't eat too much. It's too high in calories."
"And then?"
"And then I'll get fat, but only one bite will be wasted. Fortunately, I have you. I can taste it, and it won't be wasted. Of course, I should pay for it," Sophie said matter-of-factly.
Li Du finally understood why Sophie wanted a bite every time she bought something delicious.
However, after thinking about it, he felt that this was a good idea.
After buying something, he held it in his hand and ate with Sophie. They even drank from the same cup. The two of them walked together like a couple.
After lunch, Sophie began to look forward to it. She dragged Li Du to the stage in the square early to wait.
Li Du asked, "What's this for?"
Sophie said expectantly, "The most interesting event is about to begin. An auction!"
Li Du smiled and said, "Do you think the auction is interesting? Then maybe you can join my work. There are auctions every day. "
Sophie smiled mysteriously and said, "This is not an ordinary auction."
Li Du was curious. What was the purpose of this auction? Auctioning crops? Auctioning livestock?
There was a steady stream of people coming from behind. Soon, hundreds of people had gathered in front of the stage. Everyone was discussing. Li Du wanted to listen to what they were saying, but Sophie gave him an earpiece.
"What?"
The female doctor smiled playfully and said, "Keep it mysterious. Hurry up and put on your headphones. Don't listen to what they're saying, or there won't be any surprises later."
Li Du had no choice but to put on his headphones. It was a piano piece, but the lady doctor had turned up the volume so high that it made his eardrums tremble.
About twenty minutes later, Mayor Thompson walked onto the stage. Someone handed him a pair of white gloves. Then, the people below shouted, "Mayor Thompson!
"Auction! Bachelor auction! "
"Let's see who's this year's golden bachelor!"
"If there's a handsome guy, I think I'll definitely make a move. I won't go easy on him!"
Even with the headphones, Li Du could still hear what was going on outside. He looked at Sophie in surprise and asked, "Bachelor auction? Is it the auctioneer? "
Sophie covered her mouth and laughed. "Yes, yes. Bachelor auction, bachelor auction."
Li Du was stunned and said, "That's against the law. Didn't President Lincoln liberate the slaves?"
Sophie explained to him, "Of course it's not against the law. In fact, it's a traditional event. You know, Michaelmas is the autumn harvest festival in Flagstaff. It's used to celebrate the autumn harvest.
"In the past, farmers relied on manual labor and physical strength to harvest. Strong men were stars. People wanted a chance to be alone with the stars, so this event was included in the celebration.
"In the beginning, people auctioned strong laborers. Later on, the event changed a little. As long as it's a bachelor, he can go on stage. Whoever wins the bid can have dinner with him."
Li Du asked, "How does he go on stage?"
Sophie said, "There are many ways. One is to be nominated, and another is to go on stage. The auctioneer, who is the mayor, can also choose."
Her voice became louder and louder as the crowd started to cheer. The cheers were like waves, wave after wave.
"It's starting, it's starting! I can't wait any longer! "
"Haha, let's see who's the golden bachelor this time. Du Lun, don't go on stage. What do you have to do?"
"Let Carter go on stage. I'm willing to spend 500 dollars to win that b * stard Carter. If I win him, I'll let him work for me for a day!"
Mayor Thompson patted the microphone and said, "Everyone, citizens, and laborers, quiet down, please quiet down. The auction is about to begin!"
The cheering crowd quieted down, followed by a round of applause.
Thompson picked up the microphone and said, "I'm very happy to be here with all of you. I'm very happy to be able to participate in the bachelor auction with all of you. Alright, without further ado, let's bring out the first item!"
The applause became even louder. A strong young man was pushed out and stood shyly on stage.
Li Du looked at his helpless expression and said with pity, "Oh, this guy is so pitiful."
The young man was asked to take off his clothes on the stage, revealing his upper body. His muscles were outstanding, his chest muscles bulged, and his abdominal muscles were clearly defined. After he took off his shirt, the cheers rose to another level.
Mayor Thompson interacted with the young man and asked, "Young man, what's your name?"
The young man answered honestly, "Hoiberg, my name is Hoiberg Hugh."
"Alright, then 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 and answered all the questions.
Li Du nodded and introduced Jerome to Sophie. He had been there before and was very familiar with the place.
"What do you do for a living?"
"I'm a miner and a fitness coach. I'm in charge of mining iron ore."
Mayor Thompson smiled. "Very good, we've caught a big fish at the beginning of the year! A real worker, a strong miner. Now, let's start the auction. Everyone, prepare your wallets. I'm going to introduce the rules! "
