Chapter 15: Smile and be generous
"Okay, let's go through the VIP lane. Xu Jing wrote lightly.
In fact, Xu Jing didn't want to go through the VIP channel, he didn't like to trouble others the most, but because Xi Chaoqing was short of time, he could only reluctantly accept the kindness of the security captain.
"I'll lead the way for the two of you!" The security captain did not straighten his waist the whole time, turned back in three steps, and led the way conscientiously in front while smiling.
During this period, the powerful people who came and went, after being opened by the security captain just now, all showed surprise on their faces and gave way to them.
"You clothes...... What's going on? It was also given to you by the original owner of the Bentley?" After being taken to the Heavenly Objects Exhibition Hall, Xi Chaoqing finally couldn't help but be curious.
"Yes, it was put in the trunk of the Bentley, I didn't really want it, so I forced it to me," Xu Jing said honestly.
After coming back last night, Xu Jing took the things in the trunk of the Bentley, a total of two, one was the brown suit he was wearing, and the other was a string of Buddhist beads, which Xu Jing now wears on his hand.
This Buddha bead is inconspicuous, and even Xi Chaoqing didn't see anything strange, as if it was quite compatible with his identity as a delivery man.
"It seems that your suit is quite good, saving us a lot of trouble. Xi Chaoqing smiled at him.
"It's fine. ”
Xu Jing actually didn't care too much, if he hadn't taken Xi Chaoqing out of the Bentley today, he might not have worn this ill-fitting suit for the rest of his life.
Xu Jing looked around and found that there were countless treasures on display in this exhibition hall, including calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, jewelry, and antiques...... There is a wide variety of everything, all of which are covered by square glass for people to see.
Xu Jingzai said curiously: "Many of the things here are not priced, and they ...... Why don't you have a seat and an auction table? It's not what I imagined, it's like a museum. ”
Xi Chaoqing sneered and said, "Do you think that there should be rows of seats here, and then there are many people seated, and there should be a host with a small hammer in front of him, and as soon as the display of goods comes up, he will start to raise a sign and ask for the price?"
Xu nodded and said, "Yes, you are one million and I am one million, the kind that doesn't treat money as money, otherwise how can it be called an auction?"
Xi Chaoqing shook his head with a smile and said, "That kind of thing has long been outdated, this auction of heavenly things, the sale is all the 'heavenly things' among the tyrannical heavenly things, and most of the things here are not measured by money." ”
Xu Jing frowned and said, "Don't use money to measure, then how to buy?"
"Barter. ”
"Barter?"
Xu Jing was shocked, the more he lived, the more he went back, and the money couldn't be used to buy things.
Xi Chaoqing nodded and said, "Yes, most of the valuable things here are bartered. All the goods on display here are collected by the rich people who came to participate, and if they don't want it, they can display it here, and exchange it for what others don't want, and the auction will provide them with a place and an opportunity to display it, so that they can trade freely. ”
Xu Jing thought for a moment and said, "Isn't this just a more advanced stall? When you buy something at this stall, you have to exchange it for something from another stall." ”
Xi Chaoqing smiled and said: "It's okay if you want to understand it this way, but some things can still be bought with money, mainly depending on what the seller thinks, some sellers themselves are not short of money, only what they want, and they can't stop if they don't change to their favorite, so they can't buy it with money." ”
Xu nodded and said, "Then what do you want to buy here?" Can you buy it with money?"
Xi Chaoqing replied: "I want to buy medicinal materials, I should be able to buy them with money, and many people in the deep mountains make a living by picking this." The wild medicinal materials I want to buy are Bingyuan Snow Lotus, Songshan Ganoderma lucidum, and Centenarian ginseng, which are also the most important three-flavor medicinal materials of Peiyuan Cream, and the others are easy to buy. ”
At this time, Xi Chaoqing strode towards a display counter in front of her, which contained a plate of dried pale white flowers, and she said in surprise: "I have found one of them, Ice Plains Snow Lotus!
However, when Xi Chaoqing saw the price marked below, his brows frowned tightly: "It actually costs 6.1 million?"
This price point......
It's not that Xi Chaoqing can't afford it, but it's expensive.
The Ice Plain Snow Lotus is the cheapest of the three main medicinal materials of Peiyuan Cream, and it can generally be bought for more than one million to meet the requirements, although this Ice Plain Snow Lotus is of high quality, it is six times more expensive, which makes Xi Chaoqing a little unacceptable.
After spending this money, she didn't want to buy the remaining two herbs.
Although Xi Chaoqing has a mysterious background and strong financial resources, the Peiyuan paste she gave to Xu Jing has already cost her more than 20 million, and in such a short period of time, she can't get more money for the time being, and it will take some time.
So, this money has to be spent.
"Xiaoqing, are you here today?"
When Xi Chaoqing was hesitating whether to make a move, a voice that disgusted her sounded.
Wang Yiqian had a plaster cast on his hands, bandages wrapped in his clothes, a wooden board fixed on his legs, and his face was swollen like a pig's head, but his face was still full of joy, and he limped over with a cane.
"Hmm. Xi Chaoqing replied casually.
Xi Chaoqing glanced at him, and found that this Wang Yiqian was beaten really badly, the grandly powerful grandmaster was injured like this, who was so poisonous?
"Xiaoqing, have you taken a fancy to this Ice Plain Snow Lotus, I'll buy it for you!" Wang Yiqian is also a generous and honest person, more than six million yuan is not in his eyes, snapped his fingers, and said: "Iceberg Snow Lotus, No. 653, whose product did I buy?"
At this time, an old man dressed in a white Tang costume and black cloth shoes, with a white beard and a serious expression walked over, and he pinned a 653 number plate on his chest, and this ice snow lotus was his product.
Xi Chaoqing said lightly: "This kind of thing, I'll just buy it myself!" Old man, go to the trading office with me to settle the bill." ”
"This can't be done! I have to settle the bill today, so coincidentally bumped into me, how can you let Xiaoqing pay for it?" Wang Yiqian was anxious, such a good opportunity to perform, how could he let it go, rushed to settle the bill, and went directly to grab the old man's hand.
The old man directly slapped Wang Yiqian's hand to the side, glared at him angrily, and said, "What is the bill?
Xi Chaoqing was stunned for a moment and said, "Buy your plate of Ice Plains Snow Lotus, 60,000 grams per gram, and 6.1 million yuan for your more than 100 grams, isn't the price clearly marked?"
This old man seems to have a bad temper, he is an impatient and irritable old man, his beard trembles with anger, he stomps his feet and says: "The organizer of this dog day has made a mistake about Lao Tzu's price! How can it be 6.1 million?! Where is the organizer?
Xi Chaoqing was overjoyed and said to him, "The price is wrong?"
She knew how could this Ice Plain Snow Lotus be worth 6.1 million.
At this time, two staff members ran over, apologized, opened the glass case, lowered the price, moved it to the cordyceps sinensis on the next counter, and then pasted the word "exchange" under the snow lotus.
Xi Chaoqing and Wang Yiqian were stunned...... How did it become a barter again?
The old man said with a disdainful expression: "I want to buy Lao Tzu's snow lotus for 6.1 million? Lao Tzu collected more than 10 million yuan at the foot of Changbai Mountain last year, and I originally wanted to eat it myself, but this year Lao Tzu's body is tough, and it is getting better and better, I don't need this thing, I want to change it to a beautiful one today!"
"One...... More than 10 million?" Xi Chaoqing felt that this old man must be crazy, he was stupid and had a lot of money, and he was slaughtered ruthlessly.
Wang Yiqian coughed at this time, pointed to his number plate, and asked the old man in Tang costume: "Old man, how are you going to see my product? I am No. 561, right next to it! If you can see it, I can change it with you!"
"Then go and see!" said the old man in Tang costume with a full spirit.
Xi Chaoqing ignored the two of them at all, turned around, and seemed to want Xu Jing to come here, but Xu Jing waved his hand and motioned for her to go over first.
Xu Jing followed them and touched his nose.
This Wang Yiqian is also a character, since he saw Xi Chaoqing, his eyes seemed to swallow Xi Chaoqing, and he shone brightly, his eyes never looked away from her, and he was so big that he stood aside, and he was directly ignored by him.
Could it be that my suit is not eye-catching, or am I standing too far away from Xi Chaoqing?
Xu Jing regrets it a little now, I'm afraid this suit is not as imposing as his yellow takeaway suit, so he shouldn't wear it out today.
"Old man, my big red robe is produced from the mother tree of the big red robe in Wuyi Mountain! At present, there are only three or six trees left in the world, and the age of the tree is 300 years! This tea is generally not available for money! Everyone who understands understands it, I am a full kilogram! I will exchange it with you directly! Would you consider it?" Wang Yiqian performed hard in front of Xi Chaoqing, and he had to help her win this plate of snow lotus today.
As soon as they heard that it was the tea leaves of the Dahongpao Mother Tree in Wuyi Mountain, the surrounding magnates surrounded them!
"Didn't the big red robe mother tree in Wuyi Mountain be banned by the state in 05?"
"It's equivalent to saying that his tea is at least thirteen years old?!"
"I heard that the last transaction was 20 grams for 200,000 yuan, and he ...... this kilogram It's tens of millions, and the old man has made a lot of money! More than one million snow lotus for more than 10 million tea, tsk!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar!
As the saying goes, scarcity is precious, Wang Yiqian's big red robe does have cards, and it is really not something that ordinary people can get.
At that time, the bureau committee of Wuyishan made two kilograms to honor his grandfather, and he coaxed one kilogram from his grandfather.
Seeing that the people around him were envious, beating their chests, and only hating that it was not their own product exchange, Wang Yiqian's face showed a trace of pride.
No old man can refuse such tea, even his grandfather who is in a high position, he can't give up brewing, he uses it to change the plate of broken snow lotus, isn't that more than enough?
"What kind of bird is a big red robe, Lao Tzu is bitter when he drinks tea, the smell of, it's hard to drink to death, it's better to boil water, what about 10 million? Lao Tzu is short of money?
The old man in Tang costume waved his hand, and the audience was silent, everyone's face was full of surprise, and Wang Yiqian was almost so angry that his jaw dislocated-
What kind of stupid donkey thing is this old man? Such a good thing, he said it smelled of chicken shit?
Xi Chaoqing was also speechless for a while, the things that Wang Yiqian brought today are definitely the number one in this auction of heavenly things, but this old man is not a person of the same world as them, listening to this tone of voice is a rough person, if he doesn't understand tea, he is too expensive to sell him for ten yuan, and it is normal not to change it.
"I thought it was a good thing, so I made a trip for nothing!"
The old man cursed and was about to leave, but at that moment, a small voice stopped him—
"Old man, please stay!"
Xu Jing stretched out his wrist, took off a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and said, "I'll ...... it privately." How about exchanging this for snow lotus with you?"
Wang Yiqian's face changed sharply, and he looked at Xu Jing in horror and anger...... He, how come he's here?!
Wang Yiqian looked at Xu Jing, who was dressed in a suit and looked like a dog, and was so angry that he hadn't gone to look for him yet, he actually sent it to the door today!
And as soon as Xu Jing's words came out, everyone looked at him in amazement!
Even Xi Chaoqing looked at Xu Jing in disbelief, and his husband ...... How could you think that this Buddha bead could be exchanged for Snow Lotus?!
The surrounding magnates also saw the dim and ugly Buddha beads in Xu Jing's hand, and shook their heads one by one and chuckled-
"What is this? I bought it at a roadside stall?"
"Can this be exchanged for something? Is there any mistake, this young man doesn't understand anything?"
"I don't think he understands, but he wants to slander this old man, otherwise why wouldn't he put it on display in the exhibition hall? ”
The people who came were all powerful and high-ranking officials who liked to play with treasures, and there was no one around who was illiterate, and they almost saw through the essence of this Buddha bead at a glance.
Spend money to buy it, this Buddha bead is not worth five yuan.
When Wang Yiqian saw this scene, he laughed and said, "Little ...... Xiaoqing, this boyfriend you are looking for, is really ...... Really have the courage to dare to look foreign in such a place!"
Xu Jing glanced at Wang Yiqian coldly at this time, Wang Yiqian seemed to remember the fear of being dominated last night, and he was injured again, so he had to shut up with hatred and fear, and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Old man, how's it going?"
Xu Jing ignored the comments of the people around him, and still insisted on exchanging this string of Buddhist beads, staring at the old man without blinking.
