“For food, there are pepper fried chicken, grilled chicken legs, Ise shrimp, Miyazaki beef, cold soup…” The driver heard Saitohiko’s question and began to chatter away, “Our pepper fried chicken and grilled chicken legs are different from those in other places.”

“Chilli fried chicken is made with chicken, chili, sweet vinegar, tartar sauce… The grilled chicken legs are made with our local specialty chickens, grilled over charcoal fire, and only salt is added as seasoning. The grilled chicken legs made in this way have a smoky and refreshing taste, and are crispy and delicious…”

Saito Hiko listened to the driver’s introduction and thought about what gift to bring for Hoshino Ai.

Suddenly, the phone rang with a message alert. Saito Hiko took out his phone and saw that it was Hoshino Ai who sent him a message on Line.

Ai: It’s up to you.

Y: Don’t worry, I will definitely bring it.

Saito Hiko saw this and comforted her.

At this time, it is lunch time at home. The fact that Hoshino Ai replied immediately just now means that she has nothing to do at the moment.

But she didn’t reply until a while later, not very long, so maybe she thought about his words for a while, or she didn’t know what to say and just ignored it.

Otherwise, the reply should be immediate.

After all, the read ones all appeared.

Ai: What time is the flight?

Y: There is a flight at three o’clock, if there are any tickets available.

Ai: Eh? From the way you said it, I guess you saw that there are no tickets for the 3 o’clock flight?

Y: There are still a few seats available.

Ai:?

Don’t use this misleading way of speaking next time!

Saito Hiko recalled that he had just checked the ticket sales situation and found that only the first class seats were left.

As for business class and economy class, they are sold out.

Fortunately, this flight had first class, otherwise I would definitely not be able to go back early.

But there’s no need to tell her these things.

Y: Did I say there were no tickets?

Hoshino Ai saw what Saito Hiko said and scrolled up the records again.

hateful!

Ai: I went to study!

Y: Well, come on.

“Sorry, I asked the wrong question just now. Is there anything that can be easily carried as a souvenir? All these things you mentioned are eaten on the spot.” Saitohiko listened to the driver’s introduction for a while and saw that he was talking eloquently, but the content of his talk was indeed the same as what he asked. He took out a 10,000 yen bill and handed it over, “This is for your hard work.”

The driver was a little unhappy when he heard Saito Hiko’s words, but he saw through the mirror that he was handing over a 10,000 yen bill. Immediately, a flattering smile appeared on his face, and he took the time to reach out and take the bill.

“Do you want some souvenirs to take back?” the driver asked when he realized that Saito Hiko was going to a hotel.

“Well, good things with local characteristics are better, and it’s best if they are edible.” Saito Hiko nodded in response.

“For food, if you have more money, I recommend Miyazaki’s premium mangoes and sunny-side-up eggs.” The driver continued to introduce: “Our sunny-side-up eggs are world-famous. In previous years, they were sold for around 200,000 yen. If you are interested, I will take you there. I heard that there will be an auction of this year’s best premium sunny-side-up eggs at 2 o’clock today…”

Two o’clock?

There is a flight at three o’clock.

You can go and have a look if it’s not far.

Saito Yan thought for a moment and asked, “How far is the auction? I need to go to the airport to buy a ticket first, and then go there.”

“Boss, we can definitely catch the flight according to the time you mentioned. The auction will end soon unless there is malicious bidding or looting.” The driver glanced at the current time and calculated the distance. There was more than enough time for this distance.

“Then take me to buy it.” Seeing that the flight would not be delayed, Saito Hiko made the decision immediately.

“Okay.” The taxi driver responded.

Soon he drove Saito Hiko back to the hotel.

Saito Hiko simply took the suitcase and checked out.

The taxi driver then took him to the airport and bought the only remaining first-class ticket.

Rushed to the auction again.

The driver parked the car and quickly took Saito Hiko into the venue.

Since it took a lot of time to go to and from the airport, they ran into the venue.

Saito Hiko didn’t have time to observe the surrounding terrain and could only follow the driver.

Fortunately, there was still plenty of time, enough to register his entry information.

Saito Hiko completed the information registration and looked into the venue.

There were more than thirty people at the venue besides him.

A platform was built in the middle, obviously used for auctions.

There is also a photo of a mango that looks like a red gem hanging on it.

The taxi driver followed him into the venue.

He has been a taxi driver for many years and has heard people discuss the auction of sunny-side-up eggs many times, but he has never participated in it. This is his first time to walk into the auction venue.

As for the sunny-side-up eggs worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, he would just listen and discuss in the past, but he would never buy them.

not worth it.

Even the largest single fruit in history only weighs about 500 grams.

Spend more than 200,000 yen to eat it? Not worth it, I don’t have the money to eat it.

If he could participate in the auction, he would feel a sense of participation, so when he saw Saito Yan looked young and didn’t bring anyone with him, he volunteered and said, “Boss, do you need me to help you raise the placard?”

“If you follow my instructions, then of course you can.” Saito Hiko thought it was a good thing that the driver helped him raise the sign. Although he was determined to resolve the auction quickly, he would directly offer a price higher than in previous years.

“…Welcome everyone who has come from afar…” the auctioneer announced the opening.

Not only the best sunny-side-up eggs are being auctioned this time, but also some of the good-quality ones.

Therefore, the price is not as outrageous as the legend says.

The price is over 100,000 yuan per box, and there are three in a box.

Saito Hiko thought about it and asked the driver to hold up a sign and bid for five boxes.

Soon the auction came to an end, and a box of sunny-side-up eggs was lifted up in the middle of the stage.

There are only two fruits this time, but they are larger and dark red in color, like works of art.

“Next, let me introduce the king of fruits for this auction. I didn’t expect that such a large king of fruits could be produced at this time.” The auctioneer began to introduce: “This king of fruits weighs 595 grams, and the other one weighs 513 grams. We will auction them together. The starting price is …”

“Two hundred thousand!” Before the auctioneer could finish his words, he saw someone eagerly raising a placard to bid, so he had to interrupt his introduction and said, “Someone bid two hundred thousand.”

It’s so big?

After listening to the introduction and hearing someone making a quotation, Saito Hiko directly prompted the driver to bid.

The driver understood and raised the sign to offer a price of three hundred thousand.

“Oh! Someone bid three hundred thousand. Is there anyone who bids higher?” The auctioneer read out the bid as soon as he saw the placard.

When most people in the venue heard the price, they gave up the idea of ​​competing for the goods.

The new bidder raised the price by 100,000 right from the start. It seemed that he was determined to get it and it would be impossible to snatch it away from him.

A middle-aged man in the venue raised a sign to raise the price.

“Three hundred and thirty thousand!…” The auctioneer read out the offer, but before he could continue, Saitohiko instructed the driver to continue bidding, so he immediately saw the new price and read it out: “Four hundred thousand! Is there a higher price?”

When the middle-aged man heard the price, he looked at the sunny-side-up egg in the middle with a conflicted look on his face.

He was very interested in the 595-gram sunny-side-up egg, but if the price was increased any further, it would be a premium.

“Four hundred thousand for the first time!… Four hundred thousand for the second time!” the auctioneer shouted with all his might, but he did not dare to delay time deliberately.

One last time! If it doesn’t work, forget it.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a while, but when he heard the second time, he couldn’t help but make an offer.

“Oh! Someone bid four hundred and forty thousand!” The auctioneer’s voice became excited and he shouted loudly.

The reason he was excited was that the higher the bid, the greater his commission.

The taxi driver looked at Saito Hiko, waiting for his instructions.

“50. If the other party raises the price, forget it.” Saito Hiko said without thinking.

He has already bought five boxes, fifteen pills in total.

The price now is obviously at a premium. If the other party competes with him for the price again, he thinks they are probably an agent of the venue.

Although he is rich now, he doesn’t want to be taken advantage of.

The driver understood and raised the sign to increase the fare.

“Five hundred thousand!!! Someone bid five hundred thousand! Is there a higher price?” The auctioneer shouted the new price loudly.

“You are so generous, oh, the King of Fruit…” When the middle-aged man saw the other party’s offer, he wanted to raise his hand again, but reason stopped him.

He can come up with more than 400,000 yuan by gritting his teeth, but more than 500,000 yuan would be very uncomfortable for him.

He felt that if he were younger, he would definitely raise the price.

“First time for half a million!”

“Five hundred thousand for the second time!”

“Five hundred thousand for the third time!”

“make a deal!”

The auctioneer struck the hammer.

“Thank you very much for participating in this auction…” the auctioneer said in a hoarse voice.

When the auction was over, Saito Hiko and the driver went to the counter to settle the bill.

He filled in the address and asked the auctioneer to deliver it.
