171 Cannon Fodder Stand-in in the Water World (8)
They went directly to the dock, and the auction was held on the deck of the Ji family steamship. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Mei Di took Pami and Sophie over, the auction had not yet begun.
There were only a handful of people on board, while the pier and nearby streets were full of people.
They managed to squeeze forward, but they were stopped and prevented from boarding.
Meno and Ji Ran sat on the side drinking tea, and Xiaoxi seemed to be helping to pick up the memories.
Mei Di said to the guards, "I am Mei Di, the daughter of the leader, and my father and husband are inside, can you let me in?"
The guard is from the Ji family, he doesn't know Mei Di, and he doesn't want to confirm it.
The official said to her, "The master has decreed that no one should board the ship." ”
Mei Di was very embarrassed, she shouted: "Am I anyone? You don't see whose territory you are in!"
The guard was still expressionless: "Anywhere on the ship belongs to the Ji family!"
However, in the water world, the water does not belong, but the ship and the water island built up have the right.
Wherever a ship docks, the owner of the ship is the king there.
Even if the ship entered a water island, as long as the ship was still in the water, the ship was still an independent kingdom.
Unless, unless, someone tows the ship out of the water, then whoever occupies the territory will be at his command.
Seeing that Mei Di seemed to be about to fall out with the guards, Pami came out and said, "It's okay! ”
He turned his head to Mei Di and said, "Don't fight with him, he also acts according to orders." It's that I didn't come earlier, so let's wait for the auction to end first, and then go to see Mr. Ji. ”
Mei Di couldn't bear this breath, and when she looked at the nearest to her, she shouted loudly, "Aka!
Xiaoxi looked up and saw Mei Di standing on the dock with a flushed face with anger, a man and a woman beside her.
The man looked exactly like Aka, with a muscular figure and a masculine face. The woman next to him was as delicate as a flower, and her face was full of happiness.
She walked to Meino and Ji Ran and said to them, "Mei Di is here with a guest, I'll go down and entertain you." ”
Meno knew Pami, so he said to Ji Ran: "They are also acquaintances, the prospective leader couple of Palma Island." Why don't you ......?"
Ji Ran swept the faces of Pami and Xiaoxi, nodded and said, "Then let them come up, Shiyi, you go and add three more chairs." ”
When Mei Di was called on the boat, she snorted coldly at the guards, if that person was a Meno Islander, she would not have been able to recognize him by his father!
Before Mei Di made an introduction, Xiaoxi took the initiative to reach out and shake Pami's hand, and said, "My name is Aka, and I am Mei Di's husband. Welcome to Mayor!"
Pami also warmly shook Xiaoxi's hand back, and said, "You are so polite! My name is Pamy, and I am the eldest son of the chief of the island of Palma. This is my wife Sophie. ”
Brook shook hands with Sophie and beckoned, "Come! I'll introduce you." This is Ji Ran, the owner of the ship, and this is my father-in-law, Meno. ”
She also said to Ji Ran: "Ji Gongzi, this is Pami, the eldest son of the leader of Palma Island. ”
Pami stretched out his hand and wanted to shake hands with Ji Ran and say a few more words, but Ji Ran just nodded to him and asked him to sit down.
Throughout the whole process, no one paid attention to Mei Di.
Meno seemed to follow the stream with some weakness, and was momentarily embarrassed to say anything.
As soon as the auction began, everyone quietly found their place.
But the way Xiaoxi and Pami sat on the deck together made everyone very curious.
When Aka first arrived, he always had a big beard, and people didn't pay much attention to his actual appearance except for being able to see the outline of his face.
Later, Aka found out that Mei Di didn't like his beard, and he gradually got rid of the habit of growing a beard.
And not many people knew Pami on the island of Palma, and the two did not appear at the same time, so no one expected that there would be two people who were so similar.
Everyone's life is the same every day, boring, in addition to new things can arouse their interest, and gossip can also arouse their enthusiasm.
Now there are both at once, and everyone is very excited.
But now is not the time for bloody gossip, and they still know some restraint.
Everyone nervously waited for the first item to be released from the auction.
Shi Yi stepped forward and briefly finished his opening remarks, and a servant stepped forward with a glass fish tank and showed it to everyone.
He explained aloud: "The first auction item was ten grains of sand. Comes with a glass jar and a mussel. These ten grains of sand, all of which are white, are said to be native to the desert and are dry without a trace of moisture. If you are interested, you can go to the registration office of the pier to register for viewing. The sea mussel that comes with it is a female oyster that has not yet begun to produce pearls. ”
As soon as his words fell, many people wanted to squeeze to the registration office, and the scene was a little out of control for a while.
Shiyi immediately continued: "Don't worry, everyone, you can see what you want to see." However, guests who sign up to watch can only see but not touch, and each person needs to pay two water coins. ”
When they heard that they still had to pay for watching it closely, many people retreated.
But I still can't control a lot of curious people, and I may not be able to buy it, so I can see a market.
A visit to a museum costs the same thing, but it's even more staggering.
The people on deck want to see it, and they must have some privileges.
In addition to the two families of Meno and Pami, there were ten rich men of Meno Island who could sit on the deck.
Several of them were interested, and one of them did not wait for the price, and directly told the attendant that he would give him whatever the price.
Auctions tend to be more expensive the further you go, and if you can't afford it at first, you don't have to ask for his title as a rich man, and you don't have to look at the rest anymore.
Seeing that there were enough lovers of the first item, he said, "The first item, the starting price is 1,000 coins, and if there are no coins, you can bid on an equivalent item." The auction starts now!"
1,000 water coins, it's really not expensive.
Just one glance at it required two water coins, and at this moment, there were nearly a hundred thrown into the box where the coins were collected.
Bids came and went, and in the end, it was the rich man on the deck who won it for 20,000 coins.
At the beginning, the competition was so fierce, and everyone was a little competitive.
The atmosphere was very lively, and everyone on and off the ship rushed to the same place.
Meno also knew that his islanders had deep pockets, and this time he had his eyes on a few acquaintances, and when the auction was over, he would have to ask them to raise some blood.
Ji Ran couldn't see the joy and anger, the things he took out were piled up in the warehouse for him.
If you can swap it out for something more useful, why not.
At this time, just as the fifth item was being photographed, one of Meno's guards hurriedly ran to the dock and said to the leader: "Master, my subordinates have something important to report!"
Meno was still immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and said with some displeasure: "What's the matter?" (to be continued.) )
