A three-day auction, to have two days is the appreciation of porcelain, come to Yucheng porcelain masters and porcelain connoisseurs, in the Qilin Building to be a feast for the eyes, but Liu Feng is still not very satisfied with this auction, come to Yucheng is only a few places near Cizhou in the Han Dynasty, the Southern Tang Dynasty is only the merchants north of Huainan to participate, Lin'an and other places still disdain to participate in the small Yucheng held by the auction.

On the third day, the highlight of the auction finally started!

The bidding table faces the merchants on three sides, and when building the bidding table, the craftsmen also use the principle of sound propagation, coupled with the earthen horn made by Liu Feng, the auctioneer speaks on the stage, and the people below can hear it clearly.

Although in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Jingchu, Sichuan, Shu and Khitan, Liu Feng's auction was not as sensational as the publicity effect, but the number of people who arrived in Yucheng was still very large, Liu Feng's uncle Bai Fuying and cousin Bai Feng also brought people to cheer, fortunately, the Qilin Building has a lobby that can accommodate nearly five hundred people, so there is no need to worry about the problem of too many people, but such a magnificent hall also opened the eyes of everyone who came and went.

Liu Feng's uncle Bai Fuying's cousin Bai Feng, the future few people looked demented, and laughed proudly, he knew the expressions of their several Linlou after the decoration, not to mention them, that is, when Huaishang Xu Fu first entered the Qilin Building, he was also shocked by Liu Feng's generosity.

led his uncle Bai Fuying and others to the elegant hall on the second floor, but he was still sluggish, so he smiled and said: "I will take my cousin and go down to greet the guests, you sit and enjoy it slowly for a while!" ”

With Bai Feng Zhaxiong was about to go downstairs, he hit a ball head-on, Huaishang Xu Fu squinted his small eyes, and said happily: "Coming to your Yucheng, I haven't seen you for many days. You can't hide today, come on! I would like to introduce you to a few masters of porcelain art from Yue Kiln. ”

Before Liu Feng entertained him, the fat man Xu Fu took Liu Feng's arm and walked to a private room next to him, there were twenty-two private rooms on the second floor of the Qilin Building, which were divided into two levels of heaven and earth.

Push the door in, walk into the private room, is a few porcelain masters of the kiln, although a little old, but the long-term work is still very idle spirit, but there is no Yucheng firing camp in the porcelain masters look vibrant. Xu Fu stepped forward with a smile and introduced: "City Lord Liu, these two are Wang Yihong and Li Zheng, the master of Yue kiln celadon!" ”

They admired Liu Feng very much, especially Liu Feng's opening of the appreciation auction made the two masters of Yue Kiln even more praised, and the security of the Qilin Building also made them become respectful. Seeing Xu Fu take Liu Feng into the private room, the porcelain master Wang Yihong arched his hand and said: "Liu City Lord is talented!" Glory for our porcelain line! I'm going to learn from you! ”

"Welcome the two masters to Yucheng, both of them are seniors in the industry, please appreciate the porcelain of Liujiayaokou in the future!" LIU Fengdao,

After sitting down, Wang Yihong and Liu Feng talked in detail, and like Liu Feng introduced some other Southern Tang businessmen in the house, Liu Feng also called Liu Yanbei over and greeted everyone, after all, Liu Yanbei will be in charge of this matter in the future, and he will have to contact the other party for anything.

Liu Yanbei is still an old man, his demeanor and words are extremely sophisticated, he almost did not snub anyone, every sentence made people listen to it very comfortably, and for a while, the private room was full of guests and friends.

After a few polite words, Li Zheng, Feng, who is also the boss of the Southern Porcelain Shop, said: "City Lord Liu, there is something I want you to solve!?"

Liu Feng had already guessed a few points of the other party's question in his heart, and said with a smile at the moment: "***, please speak." ”

"That's the case, this kind of appreciation, do you want to continue to do it next?"

Liu Feng wanted Liu Yanbei to look at each other, Liu Yanbei got up and said, "Everyone, is this Qilin Building built enough to be courageous?" ”

"Courageous!"

"Enough for Ben! Although it is not rare to see in the world, in the north, it is spectacular enough! ”

Yanbei asked like this, and everyone was a little confused, and they all looked at Liu Yanbei for a while

"Everyone, although our Yucheng is under the Khitan Iron Cavalry, we dare to spend a huge amount of money to build such a Qilin Tower, then naturally we have the ability to defend this land." Liu Yanbei continued, "So every year during the autumn harvest, we in Yucheng have to hold a porcelain appreciation auction, and we are very welcome to participate!" ”

There was still a look of surprise and disbelief on his face, Liu Feng got up and said loudly: "Along the way, Liu's Yucheng is not vulnerable, so you don't need to worry about the Khitan breaking the city." ”

The reason why Liu Feng dared to say this was because he believed in his soldiers, and secondly, he had recently come into contact with Guo Wei in Baozhou, and he also learned about the latest situation in the Khitan. Therefore, Liu Feng is not afraid of the Khitan wolf riding at this time, and with a strong city, he can compete with the Khitan wolf horse.

"What City Lord Liu said is very true, those soldiers in the city are not easy to get along with!" When the scene was a little silent, Xu Fu said: "Although the Khitan wolf riders have repeatedly plundered south, Yucheng has not been broken into the city for many years in the hands of the Liu family, and in recent years, General Guo of Baozhou is so strong, the Khitan people do not dare to go south." ”

"Not to mention, the sergeants in Yucheng are indeed strong and strong!"

"The city lord who dares to build five buildings with such a huge amount of money is indeed bold enough, our porcelain store is about to turn over!"

Everyone agrees with Liu Feng's words, and they also have the meaning of touting, but there are still some well-informed businessmen in the private room, perhaps in this troubled era, businessmen are the most well-informed group of people, and this rule is also applicable now.
