Chapter 59: The Auction
"Yes, Miss, in this Tong City, who is not long-sighted dares to be rough with you, it is simply impatient. One of the bodyguards suddenly got serious.
"Forget it, I'm glad I'm fine, otherwise you'd be in big trouble. The nursery rhyme said.
"Miss, the master has lost his temper, do you think you should go back first?" said the bodyguard.
Tong Yao frowned, she finally escaped and had to go back before she could play for long, she was still a little reluctant, but as soon as she arrived at the herb market, she met Zhang Siye, she felt that it was really dangerous to be alone outside, and even if she continued to play outside, she was not comfortable with bodyguards.
"Alright, let's go back then. The nursery rhyme was speechless, but she still followed her two bodyguards and left this place of right and wrong.
After Bai Yun blended into the crowd, he began to investigate aimlessly, but after probing for so long, he found that the herbs on these stalls were basically very ordinary, they were all common herbs, and the age of the herbs was almost low, probably just ripe, and they were picked.
"It's a wholesale market. Bai Yun sighed, most of these medicinal herbs are artificially planted in batches, how can this be a hundred years of medicinal herbs.
"Looks like we're going to have to change things. Bai Yun muttered, it is not a way to investigate like this, it is already afternoon, and the medicinal herb market is so big, Bai Yun feels that if he really wants to continue like this, it is estimated that it will take several days to complete the investigation.
However, he had a day off tomorrow, and there were new stocks from the stalls he had inspected, and these herbs were circulating all the time.
Bai Yun found that in addition to this kind of similar street stalls, there are also some shops selling medicinal herbs, but most of them are also ordinary goods, which are not much different from the stalls.
Bai Yun quietly looked and found that not far ahead, there was a rather large building, all of which were selling medicinal herbs, Bai Yun decided to go and take a look, like this kind of big shop, usually collect some precious medicinal herbs.
"Dead wood comes back to life in spring!" Bai Yun looked at the plaques on both sides of the gate lightly.
"Fengchun Building?" Bai Yun frowned, under the explanation of the masses, he knew that Zhang Siye was the person from Fengchun Building, and his status was quite high.
However, Bai Yun was not afraid of this fourth master, so he naturally entered the Fengchun Building with a relaxed face.
This Fengchun Building, is a real wholesale market, the whole building is a variety of medicinal materials, I don't know how much bigger than the Tong City Medicine King Pavilion, after all, here, is the distribution center of Tong City's medicinal materials, there are outside the medicinal materials into Tong City, first will go to the Fengchun Building, and then send down in turn.
He found that the specifications of the medicinal materials sold in Fengchun Building were indeed higher than those of the stalls outside, and the quality was more pure.
With so many medicinal materials, it would be too time-consuming to really carefully explore and use stupid methods, so he walked directly to the front desk and began to ask about the hundred-year-old herbs.
As soon as she heard that Bai Yun was looking for a hundred years of herbs, the front desk lady didn't say much, but just asked Bai Yun to go to the third floor, where almost all the hundred years of herbs were on display, and only for a few days, and as soon as the assembly ended, it would be taken off the shelves.
As soon as Bai Yun heard this, he immediately rushed to the third floor, and he found that there were still many people on the third floor, looking at each herb carefully as if they were looking at the exhibits, and there were not many people who thought it was suitable, so they took the herb down and went to pay the bill.
Bai Yun found that there were estimated to be more than 100 on this display platform, which meant that there were at least more than 100 hundred-year-old medicinal herbs here, but what made Bai Yun a little anxious was that there were already more than 30 empty above the display table, which had obviously been bought.
Bai Yun had a dark face, and he had a kind of idea of beating his chest, he actually came too late, if the more than thirty medicinal materials that were bought had become essence herbs, then he would lose a lot.
He secretly regretted that he was really stupid, and he had been slowly exploring outside, but he didn't have a hair, so it was better to come directly to this Fengchun Building.
Bai Yun quickly unfolded his divine perception and wrapped the hundred-year-old herbs on the third floor, looking at it and carefully sifting it.
After a while, Bai Yun's face darkened even more, and the remaining hundred-year-old herbs were all ordinary goods, and there was not even a hint of imminent refinement.
Bai Yun was a little frustrated, if he couldn't find the Chengjing Herb in this Fengchun Building, where the herbs were very complete, it would be a little difficult.
Just as Bai Yun was still sighing, someone next to him looked hurried, and someone began to go upstairs, reading that the auction had begun.
"Auction?" Bai Yun's face turned pale.
"There should be good stuff. Bai Yun followed the crowd to a rather large room, and many people were already seated in it.
In an auction like this, those that can be auctioned are all precious things, and there are also some things that have been privately hidden by others for a long time, and if they can be sold, then at least there is great value.
Fortunately, this auction is not limited to the identity of the person, as long as you want to buy, then you can bid, but in order to prevent someone from bidding indiscriminately and disrupting the normal auction process, Fengchunlou has cooperated with the police.
There were more and more people at the scene, and although the room was large, it was also very crowded.
Fortunately, after the number of people reached a certain level, the organizer also closed the door and forbade anyone to come in, anyway, the same auction will not be the only one, and if you can't participate in this one, you can also participate in the next one.
"Ahem, everyone be quiet!" a rather fat middle-aged man, holding the microphone, signaled everyone to be quiet.
Hearing this, everyone still knew each other very well, and gradually quieted down.
"I won't say more, everyone understands the rules of the auction, let's start today. The auctioneer said.
"The first herb was a two-hundred-year-old angelica. ”
"Although this herb is an ordinary angelica, it has been two hundred years old, and the medicinal properties are so strong that you can imagine that the starting price is 10,000 yuan, and the price increase shall not be less than 5,000 yuan each time. The auctioneer said.
"Ten thousand!"
"Fifteen Thousand ~"
"Twenty thousand~"
"30,000~"
For a time, everyone quoted mediocrely, and some people seemed to be bound to win, and they quoted more than two or three times.
Finally, the two-hundred-year-old angelica was bought by a middle-aged man who spent 100,000 yuan, and he was extremely excited and quickly paid and left the auction venue.
Bai Yun did not bid, because he found that although this angelica had two hundred years of medicinal age, it had not become a refinement, and it was not much different from the hundred years of medicinal herbs in the exhibition hall on the third floor.
The herbs in the exhibition hall on the third floor are only tens of thousands of yuan per plant, which can be said to be very cheap, unlike the Medicine King Pavilion, which is too expensive.
Being able to spend 100,000 yuan to buy a two-hundred-year-old medicinal herb is definitely very valuable, as long as it changes hands, the price can be doubled several times.
"It's really rich!" Bai Yun sighed, no matter how you look at this Fengchun Building, it is a loss-making business, but after thinking about it, this place is about the same as wholesale, and the price is much cheaper than the market, which should be.
