My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Some people couldn't help but ask, "What's that bright red thing? It looks so delicious. I'd die happy if I could eat it even once in my life."

The person next to him replied without hesitation, "Of course, that's food for immortals! Didn't you see she can cook without firewood? She must have used magic."

Those nearby, upon hearing this, nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, it must have been done using magic."

At this moment, Minister Yan and his son, just like the common people, watched as the unidentifiable objects on the high platform used utensils they had never seen before to create one beautiful dish after another.

The two were not unsophisticated people, but at this moment, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Yan Xin received strict upbringing and, being born into a powerful and wealthy family, never lacked food or drink. He had never even drooled over food.

Drooling over food has always been seen as a sign of poor upbringing, something only lower-class people do.

When he realized he was actually drooling over the food, his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

He lowered his voice and asked Minister Yan, "Is that a demon or monster?"

A demon that specifically lures people into losing their minds?

Minister Yan was experiencing a complex mix of emotions.

Countless thoughts floated through his mind.

His first reaction, like his son's, was to suspect that something evil was at play. While everyone was drawn to the strange thing on the platform, he went to look at the cabbages and radishes being sold by the vendors nearby.

Those were indeed genuine cabbages and radishes, not something transformed by evil spirits.

He didn't want to believe it, but he had to consider the rumors that were circulating widely outside.

The Ji family may truly be deities.

Even if she wasn't a deity, she must possess some supernatural abilities, otherwise these things would be truly inexplicable.

However, my son is too impatient.

He gave Yan Xin a warning look.

Yan Xin also realized that they might be holding such a grand auction at this juncture to attract them.

Who knows which people in the crowd are genuine commoners and which are members of the Ji family in disguise?

His unusual behavior suggests he might be being watched.

He nervously looked around and only relaxed slightly when he realized that everyone's attention seemed to be on the platform.

He looked back at the platform.

At this moment, the large screen TV on the platform had finished playing the video that Ji Yunshuang had set in advance.

Qiu Shan walked up to the platform with the microphone. He turned on the microphone, and as soon as he made his first sound, the entire audience fell silent.

Everyone looked shocked again.

Just now, everyone was stunned by the thing on the stage that could display images and make sounds.

And now, everyone is shocked once again.

What is that thing that Magistrate Qiu is holding? How can it make such a loud noise?

His voice seemed to carry throughout the entire market.

Some people were bold enough to ask the question that had been bothering them after the initial shock.

"Magistrate Qiu, is that a celestial artifact given to you by His Majesty the Divine Lord? How can it make such a loud noise?"

When Qiu Shan first received the microphone, he was equally shocked, thinking it was a celestial artifact used by a deity.

Only after hearing Ji Yunshuang's explanation did they realize that this was not a celestial artifact, but an industrial product.

However, their place is not like the immortal land where the celestial lords live, which is advanced in all aspects and therefore able to produce such advanced things.

Looking at the curious faces below, he didn't answer directly whether it was yes or no, but said, "This microphone was indeed a gift from His Majesty the Immortal Lord. Besides the microphone in my hand, all the vegetables in this market were also a gift from His Majesty the Immortal Lord."

After he finished speaking, he gave a look to the yamen runner beside him, and the runner immediately pushed the small cart from behind the stage up.

The cart was filled with the tomatoes that everyone had just seen on TV.

Qiu Shandao said, "These are new varieties of vegetables that His Majesty brought from the Immortal Realm. These vegetables can be made into various delicious dishes, or they can be eaten raw like fruit. In His Majesty's Immortal Realm, people call them tomatoes."

This is the first vegetable we're bidding on, with a starting price of thirty coins per box.

In addition, all proceeds from the sale of vegetables will be recorded and used for infrastructure construction in Jingyang City and water conservancy projects in Jingzhou.

We will post all proceeds from this auction, along with the destination of every penny, at the entrance of the government office. We welcome public oversight.

I heard that all the proceeds from this auction, and where every penny went, will be published in an announcement, which everyone applauded.

This was never the case when King Xuan was alive.

It is only right that he levies taxes on them.

They were also used to supporting those in power.

But His Majesty today is completely different.

If they don't support this kind of emperor, what kind do they support?

Everyone was extremely excited, and someone immediately shouted that the tomatoes were fifty coins a box.

Not to be outdone, someone immediately chimed in, "I'll offer sixty! I want 100 boxes."

"I'll offer seventy coins! I want 100 boxes too."

"I'll offer eighty coins!"

……

The price was repeatedly raised, eventually reaching a high of two hundred coins.

However, Qiu Shan implemented a purchase limit, allowing each person to buy only three boxes.

Despite the extremely high price and the purchase limit per person, the several carts of tomatoes pushed out by the trolley were still snapped up immediately.

After the tomato auction ended, Qiu Shan turned on the second video on the TV, which was about making cucumbers.

There are no people in this video, only sound, and various ways to cook cucumbers.

Pickled cucumbers, stir-fried cucumbers with diced vegetables, stir-fried cucumbers and carrots with eggs, cucumber and preserved egg soup, cold cucumber salad...

Looking at the delicious dishes, everyone felt their mouths watering.

The person who had previously filmed the tomatoes was so tempted by the dishes in the video that they immediately picked up a tomato and took a bite.

The flesh of the tomato has a delicate texture and a slightly sour taste with a hint of sweetness. This unique and juicy flavor instantly makes countless people who taste it exclaim how delicious it is.

Those who missed out on the tomatoes earlier were now drooling over them, and some loudly urged Qiu Shan to continue the auction.

Qiu Shan had the cucumbers pushed up.

As before, the starting bid for cucumbers was 30 coins per pound. Like tomatoes, the cucumbers were also pre-packaged.

These are all high-quality items that Ji Yunshuang took directly from the supermarket; they are in excellent condition.

This auction was even more frenzied than before.

As soon as the auction started, the price quickly exceeded two hundred coins.

If Qiu Shan hadn't intentionally controlled the price to prevent it from soaring too high, it could have been as high as five or six hundred coins per catty.

Finally, the cucumbers brought up by the cart were sold out at a price of 350 coins per catty.
