More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Wei had a basic understanding of the local situation.
The city where Zhang Wei is located is called Hecheng. Because it is close to the Tiancanal, it is one of the most important transportation hubs in the Kingdom of Clouds.
The concentration camp where prisoners were held was nearby, and it was said that tens of thousands of troops were stationed there.
Information exchange with Modu has never been interrupted.
'Brother, let me tell you a good thing. The Northland coalition government has been established, and I am the speaker.'
'Brother...it's so tiring to be the Speaker. These old guys will always make excuses if they don't do their job, and they don't respect me at all.'
'I received a letter from the Kingdom of Clouds last night, asking Northland to pay a ransom, and it costs thousands of beli for anyone. I think they are going crazy for money.'
'Here comes the black list!'
'They want to merge into the Northland, become part of the Northland, and jointly resist the Kingdom of Clouds. But they want the 28 seats they deserve.'
'Brother, with the control of the black list, I feel that the Northland is much easier to control...'
'elder brother…………'
…
…
"This girl is quite talented at being a boss. She can master things like control and balance without a teacher."
"If we can control the Northland, it will be much easier to collect high-quality ingredients in the future."
After checking the time, Zhang Wei locked the door and came to a certain area in the center of the city.
Crane City Foreclosure Office!
The Country of Clouds is lacking in materials, but at the same time it has unique outputs that are highly complementary.
As a port connecting the human world, Crane City has a daily throughput of thousands of tons.
Normal trade will charge a heavy tax of 50% of the selling price, which will take away more than 60% of the profits. Many Yun nobles have started to use smuggling, and the seized items will be auctioned at the foreclosure.
"Mr. Tam, are you here?"
"That thing is going to be auctioned today, right?"
"Of course, it's auction item No. 27!"
"very good."
"This is your number plate."
Zhang Wei looked through it and saw that the number was 666.
The numbers are quite auspicious.
During this time, Zhang Wei was frantically collecting ingredients with electric properties, such as electric eels, electric rays, electric catfish, hammerhead sharks... Ingredients with strong electric properties are almost all fish.
Maybe it's because electricity works particularly well in water.
Zhang Wei's target is the recently seized toxic food, electric bananas!
In the original work, electric bananas also appeared, which are basically the same as in the picture. There are so many ingredients in the great gourmet era, and it is not easy to meet the ingredients that appear in the original work.
With the addition of such toxic ingredients, new dishes should not be a problem.
Walking into the VIP booth, Zhang Wei looked around.
"There are a lot of people today."
The host made a lot of nonsense, first welcoming everyone present, and then reading out the regulations of the Kingdom of Clouds, and saying that smuggling is a shame for the nobility.
After completing the necessary procedures, the auction officially begins.
Since it was goods, the quantity seized was very large, and high prices were frequently offered.
"Next is auction item No. 27, electric bananas, a toxic ingredient, 25 large bunches totaling 700 kilograms, with a starting price of 28,500 beli."
[Discover storage ingredients: electric banana]

[Food effects: toxic, addictive, damaging to health]
[Introduction: A very common poisonous food that can be cultivated artificially. After eating it, a paralyzing electric current will sweep through the whole body, causing pain and a feeling of relaxation.
But every paralysis will damage the central nervous system. After indulging in this kind of food, you will gradually develop dizziness, retching, decreased body control, decreased exercise ability, epilepsy, hemiplegia, high paraplegia...]
Feeling the concrete confidence, Zhang Wei was a little scared.
If you want to use this ingredient, you must first neutralize its toxicity. It's too disgusting for drug addicts.
"No. 227, 29,000 Baileys!"
"No. 145, 29,500 Baileys!"
“First time for 29,500 Baileys!”
"29,500 Baileys for the second time!"
Zhang Wei raised his hand: "Thirty-two thousand Baileys!"
"No. 666, 32,000 Baileys, is there any higher price?"
"Once...twice...three times!"
"make a deal!"
There is no pressure from competition, and this key ingredient is very easy to obtain.
It is extremely difficult to handle poisonous ingredients. There are few people in the entire Cloud Kingdom who have mastered this technology, and most of them lack interest.
This kind of fresh food has a shelf life, so in order to prevent the auction from going unsold, the starting price is also very low.
"This kind of price can't be bought even in the human world, but it's a small bargain."
With nothing to do, Zhang Wei was not in a hurry to leave.
Most of the items auctioned here are ingredients, and there may be some that can be used.
The auction items were sold one after another, and the prices gradually increased. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred auction items were all sold.
The last item was presented.
The auctioneer looked around, as if he had expected it.
"Everyone, I know you are all waiting for this exhibit. After all, this level of delicacy is really uncommon."
"In order to seize it, hundreds of agents from the private inspection team died. According to the instructions of the country's leader, 3% of the proceeds from the auction will be taken out and distributed as a pension."
"Let us offer our most sincere respect to the benevolent king!"
Warm applause rang out. In a dictatorial country like the Kingdom of Clouds, disrespecting the ruler is a serious crime.
Lift the curtain!
The precious ingredients in the display window are exposed to everyone's eyes.
【Thunder Buns】
[Capture level: 44]
[Origin: Below the Food Cloud]
[Introduction: A unique delicacy formed by lightning strikes, extremely rare in nature!]
There is an extremely rare climate in the human world. The flour blown from the food world and the tornado water from the Zhenwei Sea will form a cumulonimbus called a food cloud.
Wherever cumulonimbus clouds pass, it will rain huge amounts of bread and hamburgers... The specific fillings and types are determined by the ingredients wrapped in the tornado water.
Among them, bread rain and steamed bun rain are the most common, while hamburger rain and sushi rain are less common.
Among them, the rarest ones are fish fillet rain, bacon rain, and meat sauce rain.
The formation of Xinglei Baozi is extremely demanding, requiring two independent gourmet clouds to meet and merge.
One must be steamed bun rain, and the other must be meat sauce rain.
When it rains, the interacting thunderbolts hit the fillings and steamed buns at the same time, so there is a very small chance that a thunderous bun will be produced!
It is said that this bun was made by the God of Thunder himself and is a gift from the god.
After Zhang Wei heard this, he was shocked on the spot. There is such a miraculous craftsmanship in nature!
"This thunder bun actually appears in the Kingdom of Clouds? This thing will be robbed even in the human world, right?"
"In the human world, gourmet clouds can only appear along the coast of the Zhenwei Sea. And two clouds that meet the requirements come together thousands of miles away, and they happen to be connected by lightning... This prerequisite is simply abnormal!"
"Now that we have met, we must not let this good thing slip away!"
