Chapter Forty-Eight: The Auction Is Terrifying
At this moment, the auction table began to be lively, and the bidding of various small rooms was frequent, and the wooden signs appeared in an endless stream, and the price also climbed steadily. After a while, the bidding soared to more than 30 taels, and the increase in price finally slowed down.
"Bid Forty Taelsβ"
With Ruoshui's offer, there was no new wooden sign revealed.
"Burn incense!"
After waiting for a while, and after no more movement, Ruoshui instructed Xiao Yong to light a new incense.
Compared with the reserve price, the current price is four times higher, and Bai Sulian and they have long since changed from excitement at the beginning to numbness now. The frequent price jumps can no longer cause a series of exclamations in the audience, but now the price is suddenly frozen, which makes the people who have yawned suddenly come to their senses.
"It's forty taels~ It's just a piece of snack, it's really luxurious~"
"What kind of dim sum is not dim sum, you didn't look at the festival upstairs that adults and Zhizhou adults like tightly, this thing is going to be used as a gift, but it is much more elegant than the yellow and white thing~"
"There shouldn't be anyone who can quote anymore~ Forty taels of silver can buy a carriage~"
"Not necessarily~ Can you know the thoughts of rich people? You have to know that you are rich~"
β¦β¦
The venue was filled with the sound of discussion again, and time gradually passed in this chaotic discussion, and finally, the incense was about to burn out again.
"Forty taels for the first timeβ"
Ruoshui's sudden shouting of quotation interrupted everyone's discussion, and everyone fell silent again. And in the silent flower hall, it seemed that he had suddenly reacted, and the position of the eighth room hesitated to reveal a wooden sign with "Wanton Pick-up".
"Forty-one taels between the eighth-"
When everyone thought that they would have to wait for another stick of incense, Ruoshui, who had been paying close attention to the situation in the flower hall, suddenly found that in the corner of the position, there was no movement in the entire auction room of the seventeenth room, and a wooden sign was unexpectedly displayed.
"Room 17...... Fifty taels! β
The crowd was in an uproar! You must know that the auction has been an hour since it began, and a total of thirty taels has been raised, and this person has increased the price by ten taels of silver at once, which has completely exceeded everyone's expectations.
It seems that there are indeed some inconspicuous characters in this wave of bidders, Ruoshui silently instructed Xiao Yong to light the incense and wait for others to bid again.
It was Kankan who waited for the bottom line of the three quotations again, and the price of fifty-one taels was hesitantly listed in the eighth room, but this time before Ruoshui finished reporting the price, the seventeenth room actually put out the price of sixty taels very neatly.
At this moment, the whole venue exploded, and everyone speculated about where the "Seventeenth" was sacred, and he was so wealthy that the price of ten taels was raised!
Room 8 over there also seemed to be angered, and the price of seventy taels was also listed after a while. However, this time, he still didn't wait for Ruoshui to finish quoting the price, and the other party actually hung up the wooden sign again steadily.
"One hundred!"
The audience was silent...... Even Ruoshui's voice couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Room 17...... One hundred taels ......"
Everyone looked at the wooden sign in room eight, to see if the bidder still had the courage to follow. However, the result was obvious, and the hand of the number eight was trembling even when he took back the wooden card, and there was no movement since he took it back.
After lighting the incense burning, the stagnant atmosphere of the entire venue was slightly relieved. Most of the audience was pouting and looking around, trying to see what kind of honor Seventeen looked like, and whether it was as grand as his or her generous shot. But helplessly, Huadianfang did an extraordinarily good job in terms of confidentiality measures, and even Mr. Zhang, who was looking down from top to bottom with a hard handrailing, was also full of stupidity, and it seemed that he didn't even see a figure.
I thought that this price would last until the end of the auction, Ruoshui was also mentally prepared to finish, and even everyone in the audience began to chat with each other, but they didn't expect that the wooden plaque hanging in the seventeenth room was suddenly taken back.
Not many people noticed this, but Wakasui, who is an auctioneer, saw it at a glance. Her heart suddenly struck, thinking that this guy wouldn't really have the courage to regret it in front of the two fourth-grade masters~
Ruoshui is not afraid that he will not give money, after all, the rules have been clearly stated before the meeting. But after all, this is the first time that Huadianfang has held an auction, and if the skylight is really opened, it will have a great impact on the reputation of Huadianfang in the future.
"Huh? So what's going on with the Seventeenth? What about the sign on the outside? Where did it go? It's not going to fall to the ground, is it? β
What worries Ruoshui the most still happened, but I didn't expect that the first person to find out that something was wrong was actually Lord Zhang. However, he didn't expect to regret this situation, but simply thought that it was just that the brand had fallen, and he was still helping people find it left and right. I didn't know that I had seen it everywhere, but I didn't even see any wood chips.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Ruoshui could only frown and say in a deep voice.
"Customers of the seventeenth auction, our auction rules are that once the price is quoted, there will be no remorse, please hang the wooden plaque again, and do not affect the normal procedures of our auction."
ββ¦β¦β
There was no response.
If it weren't for the three neat listings in the seventeenth room before, everyone would have thought that there was no one in there at all.
Seeing that this incense stick was about to burn out, Ruoshui finally couldn't bear the embarrassing stalemate, and asked again, his tone was already full of displeasure.
"If you agree with this offer, please hang out the wooden sign, otherwise the workshop will report to the state lord for ruling."
"Hahaha - repentance? I really regretted it! Such a wonderful object is not more than a hundred taels, and since you illiterate fellows refuse to bid again, then I have to come by myself! β
After a burst of laughter, a dark shadow suddenly rose from Room 17, piercing the curtain that covered the roof, and slanted into the beams between the first and second floors, making a dull dull sound.
"Wu Bai !!"
The black shadow was the wooden sign used for bidding, and these two big characters were clearly written on it in lime, and half of the entire card body was embedded in the beams and columns, and the exposed part was still trembling slightly, obviously still having strength after insertion.
"Good kung fu! Who is the best player? Can you show up and meet the official? β
When everyone was still immersed in the shock of the five hundred taels offer, Master Zhang suddenly exclaimed.
For him, participating in the auction is just to make a scene, and the interest of martial arts practitioners in kung fu is always greater than that of yellow and white things, and now a suspected master suddenly appeared in a group of ordinary people in the market, how can he still have the leisure to worry about any auction, and he would like to pull people outside to have a discussion with him now.
