The auctioneer saw that the atmosphere on the scene had been sufficiently hyped up and tapped the table with a copper hammer, signaling everyone to quiet down.
Soon, a lady in a cheongsam came up, carrying trays one after another.
The first tray was placed on the table, and as the camera captured it, the image was projected onto the big screen behind.
The auctioneer lifted the red cloth to reveal something resembling a cabbage, with green leaves on the outside and a layer of white flowers wrapped within.
It was about the size of a basketball, fresh and full in color, obviously just picked and delivered.
