Chapter 118
"The Komodo dragon, also known as the Komodo dragon, is the largest lizard known to exist. www.biquge.info They are ferocious and predominantly carrion, but adults will also eat the juveniles of the same kind, and sometimes even other adults. They are extremely fast, can easily catch up with an adult, and in addition to their large bodies, they also possess extremely terrifying toxins, not to mention their power. This is just an adult, female, recently brought from Komodo Island, and has a very fierce personality, if you like exciting rare animals, I highly recommend it. ”
Gently knocked on the glass box containing the monitor lizard, looking at the monitor lizard spitting out the letter on guard, the shopkeeper smiled, raised his hand to let the red flannel lower again to cover the box, and then turned to another glass box, the flannel slowly rose, and the two petite figures immediately hid back, but they could not avoid the inquiring eyes of everyone in the transparent box on all sides.
After clearing his throat, the shopkeeper smiled and introduced.
"This is a pair of adult Darwin's foxes, from the forests of Chiloe, there are currently no more than 300 in the world, petite size, and a pleasing appearance that is very suitable for ......"
“…… I believe everyone knows this here, this is the snow leopard known as the 'King of the Snow Mountain', from the top of the Snow Mountain......"
“…… The crested ibis has always been known as the 'jewel of the East', and there are currently less than 2,000 wild populations in the world, and many places have become regionally extinct, and this is a male crested ibis......"
As the animals in the huge glass box are revealed one by one, the voice of the shopkeeper's introduction is constantly sounding, not hurried, calm, always the most attractive features of the animals in the box can be placed in front of the guests, which can easily arouse people's interest, so from time to time you will hear the slight exclamation of the guests.
However, the expressions of the three people on Mr. Liu's side did not change in the slightest from beginning to end, as if their minds were not on the rare beasts they saw in front of them, and the entourage standing next to them even held a blurry image and played with it, and the eyes that fell on the shopkeeper were obviously not in focus.
Soon all the rare beasts were introduced, and the shopkeeper looked in all directions and said loudly.
"Then it's the usual auction of 'Exhibition Night'. The auction is in the English style, and the bidding price is not less than 100,000 yuan each time. Then, starting with the Komodo dragon that appears first, the starting price is ......"
The sound of announcing the start of the auction fell for a moment, and the sound of bidding gradually sounded, and in the soft music, everyone was so calm, even if they were competing with each other, they all seemed so elegant, but Mr. Liu, who had been silent, frowned deeper and deeper.
As if he had guessed what his master was thinking at the moment, the entourage who had been watching the center of the hall immediately retracted his gaze, bent down and poured him a cup of tea, and quietly spoke to him while serving tea.
"Wait a little longer, it's hard to say now."
The subtle sound only came into the small space where the three of them were, squinting his eyes that were already full of impatience, Mr. Liu still took the tea cup and temporarily suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, but the bodyguard on the side was still smiling, looking at the boxes containing rare animals with some interest, and did not seem to feel irritated at all.
The attendant who stood back turned his gaze back to look at the field, as if he had been paying attention to the auction situation, but once again secretly observed the situation in the entire hall, and did not let go of any details.
The sound of the price increase gradually slowed down, and soon the sound of the hammer sounded, another auction was set, and the box that found the buyer slowly sank under the floor, at this time, the entourage's gaze changed slightly, as if she had found something different, but her expression quickly returned to its original state, and she only bent down and whispered in her master's ear for a moment, then got up again and calmly watched the bidding in the field continue.
It didn't take long for this small auction to end, a total of nine kinds of rare wild animals have buyers, no first-class auction, and the crested ibis also sold at a sky-high price, the shopkeeper is naturally overjoyed, but from his face can still only see a polite smile, only to hear him tell the buyers that these animals will be sent to their respective houses the next day, and then called a few men in suits to respectfully guide the rich people present to leave, and he himself walked to Mr. Liu's side.
Bowing politely, the shopkeeper asked Mr. Liu with a smile: "Mr. Liu, you have not participated in the bidding, is it because the rare beasts of this 'exhibition night' are not enough to satisfy you?" ”
Without looking at the shopkeeper, Mr. Liu just played with the teacup in his hand and asked coldly: "This is the 'rare beast' of your store?" ”
"Yes, these are all of our collections."
"'All'?"
Mr. Liu narrowed his eyes, and the attendants on the side put away their smiles cooperatively, raised his hand and threw the blurry photo in his hand at the feet of the shopkeeper, making an unkind questioning sound.
"Excuse me, what is this?"
Although the image is extremely blurry and the shape cannot be seen, it is obvious that you can see a red like a red fire, which is thrillingly red.
Looking down and seeing the content on the photo, the shopkeeper's face changed slightly, but when he looked up again, he still smiled politely: "Mr. Liu is afraid that he has misunderstood, there is no such strange creature in the shop." ”
"None? So how did this photo come about? Do you think that all the people you invited last night were stupid? ”
As soon as Mr. Liu's cold voice sounded, the shopkeeper couldn't help but be stunned, and then his face changed: "How do you know...... Are you ...... from yesterday?"
Mr. Liu didn't answer, but just snorted coldly, and the shopkeeper's body trembled slightly, and he immediately bowed extremely respectfully.
"It's rude to not know you're a friend of those guys......
As if it was difficult to pay attention to the shopkeeper, Mr. Liu narrowed his eyes and continued to sit coldly, and the attendant next to him spoke for him: "Our master is also a reasonable person, and he doesn't want to embarrass you...... It's a bit too much, right? ”
The cold voice made the shopkeeper tremble slightly, and he glanced at Mr. Liu quietly, but he couldn't see his thoughts from his face, so the shopkeeper sighed lightly and said, "What you said is very true, since this is the case, let's tell the truth." Glancing at the blurry photo on the ground, he said, "This strange creature is indeed in the store's collection, but because it was obtained by accident, it is so rare that it was not disclosed to all members immediately, and only a few noble people were invited to see it yesterday." I wanted to see if I could arouse everyone's interest, and if the response was good, I was going to exhibit it at this 'exhibition night', but I didn't expect that one of them would take a look at it on a whim and directly order the rare beast and ask to send it in a few days. Since it was already a pre-ordered rare beast, we naturally couldn't send it to other guests, so this was ...... I hope Mr. Liu will forgive me. ”
glanced at his master, and the entourage looked at the shopkeeper again: "Ordered?" ”
"Yes. The rare animals in the exhibition night are all unique, if Mr. Liu really likes it, he can search for similar ...... for you."
"Hmph, it's a disappointment."
Coldly interrupting the shopkeeper's words, Mr. Liu patted the handrail and stood up, turned around and left directly, the entourage and bodyguards immediately followed quickly, the shopkeeper sighed secretly, and could only catch up quickly and respectfully send them out of the store.
The three of them strode out of the inconspicuous storefront and stepped into the bright lights, until they walked out of sight of the shopkeeper, and the "bodyguard" finally couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.
"Hahaha...... Little girl, what a funny trick you have! (To be continued.) )
