Chapter 221: Auction

After a while, the three of them finally got rid of the entanglement of the white bones and came to a small town.

The bearded man pulled a passer-by casually, and after asking, he learned that this place is called Qingfeng Town, and it is very close to the border. Wu Zheng led the horse lazily, and the three of them entered the town like this.

Xiaohua first looked around, and then said, "Let's find a place to rest first, and we are not in a hurry to travel." ”

Wu Zheng listened, nodded and said, "Then dare to be kind, by the way, let's get some more food." ”

Xiaohua was helpless, and her heart said that you would eat it too. But he didn't have a seizure, and staggered around the street. Xiaohua actually enjoys this feeling of shopping, probably because in Beiliang City, everyone sees him like a plague god, so today's people are extremely precious.

The town is not big, and after inquiry, I also learned the location of the only inn in the town. By the time a few of us arrived, it was already evening.

As soon as we entered, the boss began to look at us. It was a middle-aged man with a mustache, who looked like a profiteer, which was Wu Zheng's first feeling.

"Objectively staying in a hotel?" the boss was very clever and greeted us with a smile when he came up.

"Stay. Xiaohua said, then pointed to the two horses in the doorway, "Bolt our horses." The boss nodded busily, and then went to the work.

"Can you eat something objectively?"

"Eat meat. Wu Zheng became interested, and without waiting for Xiaohua to answer, he opened his mouth first.

The boss listened, and a smile flashed across his face. He said with a little embarrassment: "Objectivity is really direct, then I'll prepare." With that, the boss stepped back.

Wu Zheng and Xiaohua sat on the bench, and there were a lot of guests at this time, and they were drinking energetically. Xiaohua overheard, they were all talking about the same thing.

"Eh, have you heard, this time the comptoir is going to hold an auction. ”

"Hey, I heard there's an extremely expensive necklace to shoot. ”

"Not really, if only we could palm our eyes. ”

"Just you, I think you're a toad and want to eat swan meat. ”

Xiaohua listened to the discussion of several people, and couldn't help but be interested, he leaned over and asked happily: "A few brothers, I don't know what this auction is about?"

"You're new here. One of them said unceremoniously.

"Exactly. Xiaohua was not angry, she still looked giggled.

"This auction is scheduled for tomorrow's Liu's firm. The man explained as he ate the meat.

"Liu?" Xiaohua couldn't help frowning, he had heard his father talk about it before. Liu Haifeng is honest and honest, and he has never been corrupt or bribed. But he was able to sit in the position of the head of the household, which shows how hard his background is.

It is said that Liu Haifeng's family background is very deep, his ancestors are famous landlords and gentry, and he has also opened a lot of commercial houses, almost all over Beiliang City.

Of course, their scale cannot be compared with the Hua family firm, but it is not impossible to compete with each other.

Xiaohua couldn't help but sneer in her heart, this old guy actually stretched his hand so far. is obviously so rich, and he still has to pick and choose, which really interprets the door to the extreme.

Wu Zheng was already waiting impatiently, he

began to urge: "Boss, serve the food!"

"It's coming. As he spoke, a man came over with a plate full of meat.

Xiaohua also sat back in his seat at this time, he glanced at Wu Zheng, who was eating fragrantly, and then decided to discuss it with the bearded man. So Xiaohua said, "Let's go and have a look tomorrow?"

"You want to buy something?" the bearded man had a straight head and spoke straight.

"Whatever. Wu Zheng muttered as he stuffed the meat slices into his mouth.

Xiaohua didn't pay attention to Wu Zheng, after all, his opinion was not very important. So he went on to say to the bearded man, "I don't want to buy anything, I just want to take a look." ”

"It's all up to you, and the Sprinkle family is just with you. The bearded man grinned and patted Xiaohua on the shoulder.

Xiaohua finally let go of her heart when she heard this. It doesn't matter if Wu Zhengtong disagrees, the important thing is that the beard cooperates, then there is no problem. After all, Xiaohua still has to rely on the other party to go to the extreme south!

Speaking of the Far South, Xiaohua couldn't help but think of Luochen and her own tigress, and she didn't know where they were at the moment and what they were doing.

At night, Xiaohua lay on the bed and counted the money, and he didn't have many silver tickets with him, and he didn't know if it was enough.

Wu Zheng was not sleepy, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Count the money?"

Xiaohua first glanced at the other party, and then said, "Do you still have any money on you?"

"What?" Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and asked me for money, just kidding. Wu Zheng spread his hands, and then said: "You are a rich son, and you can still ask for money from a homeless child with me?"

"Don't talk nonsense, and no?" Xiaohua is about to fight, and dealing with me is nothing more than three methods: beating, deception, and lure.

"One more point. Wu Zheng opened his mouth with difficulty, then grabbed his shoes and took out a silver ticket from them.

Xiaohua pinched her nose in disgust, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Yes, you can keep it, my son doesn't want it." "I said yes, but I didn't forget to fan the wind, for fear that the stench would blow over.

On the second day, the sun shone in through the window paper, Wu Zheng stretched, and then slowly went downstairs. Xiaohua and the bearded man were already sitting downstairs early, eating breakfast.

Wu Zheng snorted, hurriedly rushed down and said, "Why don't you two wait for me, this is going to eat." ”

"Who told you not to get up yourself. Xiaohua pouted, he just deliberately didn't call Wu Zheng.

After eating, Wu Zheng's stomach was still a little hungry, but Xiaohua said: "You shouldn't eat too much for breakfast, eating less is good for your health." ”

Wu Zheng didn't know where Xiaohua got the theory, but it sounded very mysterious, and in the end, he was fooled into believing it.

The three of them came to the location of the Chamber of Commerce, which was already crowded with people. However, there were several bodyguards arranged at the door, all with long shoulders and round waists. This kind of position, in fact, does not require much cultivation, the most important thing is to be long and scary.

Wu Zheng and a few people entered the venue, and even took out a lot of silver taels, which was ten taels of silver per person, which was not too dark. Moreover, this is only the price at which those who are going to auction will enter. In addition to them, there are many auctioneers.

Compared with Wu Zheng, the money is much less, and they only need one person or two silvers to enter the audience to watch the whole process of the auction.

This

operation, look at the little flowers stupidly. This Liu Pifu is simply too good at making money, and this kind of marketing method can be thought of. And the most unbelievable thing is that there are so many people who are so happy that they are simply mad.

Wu Zheng and the others were taken to a private room, this was to not divulge everyone's information. Wu Zheng waited for the waiter to retreat, and was busy sitting down and starting to nibble on refreshments, he hadn't eaten enough in the morning, and now he couldn't bear it when he saw dim sum.

That's not the most humiliating thing, though. The most embarrassing thing is that after Wu Zheng finished eating this food, he even wanted to have another plate. Fortunately, Xiaohua is a person who wants face, and he promised to go back to supply Wu Zheng with a plate of meat, which suppressed the gluttonous worms in his stomach.

There was still some time before the auction began, and Xiaohua was sorting out the silver tickets on her body. Later, a maid took away the silver ticket as collateral. The advantage of this approach is that if you can't spend it all, you can return it, and you won't encounter a random quote.

In fact, he himself couldn't figure out why he came to this auction, but when he heard that there was a necklace, his heart couldn't stop jumping. He couldn't understand this feeling, and he couldn't figure it out. I feel like if I can't get the necklace, I'm going to feel bad.

In the trading house, there was a lot of noise and shouting at this time. But suddenly, a heavy hammer fell sound, resounding throughout the firm. Immediately after, an old man appeared in front of everyone. Xiaohua stood upstairs and looked down from above, very clearly.

When the crowd heard the sound of the hammer, they stopped talking and sat down to wait for the auction to begin.

Immediately afterwards, the old man began to report to his home, and said a lot of useless nonsense, so that Wu Zheng's ears were almost calloused. After saying a lot of pre-memorized lines, he finally got to the point.

"Today, we are holding a grand auction here, and we hope that all auctioneers will spare their money and do their best. With that, he raised his hand, "Here are our first lots." ”

As the man's words fell, a maid walked out slowly with a box. Immediately after, the box was opened, and a treasure knife appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

At this scene, the audience who watched it shouted one after another. However, in fact, this knife may not really be that good. But the audience, it's normal to shout when you see this kind of scene. And the firm itself also likes this kind of screaming, which will invisibly increase the value of the lot and make people lose their rational judgment.

So, the auction began. There are no rules to the auction, you just need to shout the price out loud. Xiaohua is not very attentive to that weapon, he has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and they have a lot of flowers, but they are harder than ordinary weapons, and they are far from being a divine weapon.

But if Xiaohua can't look down on it, it doesn't mean that everyone can't look down on it. This auction is not only a way to auction things, but also a means to show off and show off one's financial resources.

No, as soon as the lot appeared, countless voices sounded.

"I'll give ten taels. ”

"I'll give twenty taels. ”

"Forty taels. ”

"One hundred taels. ”......

At first, every time a price sounds, it is immediately overturned. But later, this trend became less and less obvious, until finally, only one voice remained: "Four hundred taels." ”

The price ends here, and no one continues to open their mouths. Xiaohua couldn't help but shiver, and I don't know which young master and son of the family suffered a big loss and became a big boss!
