Chapter 232 Glass Treasure Competition
Under Xiao Yao's control, everything in the Xiao Family Iron Workshop is proceeding in an orderly manner, and a steady stream of precious glazed ware and various quality iron-lined tools have been produced, making the prestige of the Xiao Family Iron Workshop a household name in the Three Kingdoms of Zhou, Qi and Chen, but it has also attracted the covetousness of many forces!
The New Year is approaching, this one, Xiao Yao, who is wearing a precious fur coat and wrapped like a zongzi, is riding on a donkey, leisurely wandering around the streets of Jiangling City. The curious Xiao Yao kept looking left and right, looking at the people who were busy making New Year's goods and preparing for the New Year, the housekeepers around him were serving carefully, and a large group of bodyguards were following closely.
"Childe, it's so cold, why do you have to go shopping? How comfortable it is to stay at home around the stove, if there is anything to tell these subordinates to do, if it colds you, it will be terrible!! The housekeeper cared about the authenticity, after all, in their eyes, Xiao Yao was still a child who was only eleven years old.
"Some time ago, I was so busy that my brain was a little confused, it's rare that there is nothing important today, you can come out for a walk, relax, wake up your mind casually, and now that it's the end of the year, I also want to see how these ordinary people are preparing for the New Year!" Xiao Yao shook his head and smiled.
Suddenly, Xiao Yao saw that the door of a restaurant in front of him was already full of people on the inside and outside of the three floors, which was very lively! Seeing so many people, Xiao Yao suddenly became interested, because he had been here for more than a year, and he was usually not in the Xiao family's iron workshop, and he really hadn't made any fun!
"Housekeeper, is the restaurant in front of us our Xiao family, why are there so many people, it seems to be very lively, what are they doing?" Xiao Yao asked with interest.
"Ruyi Building, of course, is opened by our Xiao family, it is the largest restaurant in Jiangling City! By the way, today is the Liuli Treasure Competition Conference held by our Xiao family, and our Liang State, as well as the merchants and tycoons of Zhou, Qi and Chen are gathered there! Childe, why don't we go in and have a look? The housekeeper knew that Xiao Yao liked new and interesting things, so he immediately proposed.
"Glass Treasure Competition? Is that the glass auction I had with you? Okay, interesting, let's go in and have a look! Xiao Yao was a little embarrassed, because the sales method of this auction was thought up by himself, and he had made so much money during this time, but he hadn't gone in to see it yet!
A large group of people arrogantly walked into the Ruyi Building, and the money shopkeeper of the restaurant saw that it was the Xiao family's housekeeper, and immediately greeted him, bowed, and said respectfully: "I don't know that the housekeeper is here today, and he is not welcome!" Butler, come in and take a seat! ”
The housekeeper was very satisfied with the attitude of the shopkeeper Qian, nodded with a smile, pointed to Xiao Yao who was riding on the shoulder of a bodyguard and said with a smile: "This is our Xiao Gongzi, I came to see how your treasure competition is going today!" ”
"Oops! It turns out that this is the son! Hurry, hurry up to the warm pavilion upstairs, there are a lot of guests here, the young master is a daughter, you are all waiting for me! The money shopkeeper didn't dare to delay, and immediately arranged for people to serve Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao also enjoyed this feeling of being served, and looked at a group of people who were in a hurry with a smile, laying out seat cushions, setting up the stove, making tea, and serving snacks, and the feeling in his heart was so cool: It turns out that this is the class system of all evils, which is really enjoyable!
"Childe, the one below is the glass treasure that is going to be auctioned today - seal the marquis immediately! Listen to the money shopkeeper, you should be able to get a price today! The butler pointed to the glass treasure on the gorgeous display table downstairs and explained to Xiao Yao.
"Price? How much can it be sold for? Hearing the word price, Xiao Yao immediately became interested.
"At least you can sell it for fifteen hundred taels of silver!" The housekeeper flattered and said.
Others only knew that this glass treasure was made by the Xiao family's workshop, but the housekeeper knew that this treasure was made by this young master! And this auction of this immediately Fenghou is indeed made by Xiao Yao under the guidance of Liu Shui, the ancient people are very concerned about these auspicious meanings and the like, so Xiao Yao let Liu Shui do the handicraft modeling in this direction, and Liu Shui's craftsmanship has to be more exquisite, the reddish-brown horse is made with a long mane flying, and the golden monkey on horseback is even more lifelike! Even in modern times, you can buy thousands of yuan, and in ancient times, it was normal to buy thousands of taels.
"These are the people who are bidding for it? What kind of fish are they, aren't they, big tycoons? Is it very promising? Xiao Yao sat in the warm pavilion on the second floor, pointed to the group of gorgeously dressed people sitting in front of the display table on the first floor below, with round heads and big ears, and knew that there were rich local tyrants at a glance and asked.
"These people sitting below are all big businessmen from all over the world! They all have cooperation with our Xiao family firm, that is Boss Zhang of Chen State, that is Boss Wang of Qi State, that is Boss Yang of Zhou State, and also Sakura. The housekeeper introduced Xiao Yao one by one.
"Huh? Who's that skinny old guy? Is it a eunuch? Xiao Yao suddenly found that in the crowd, there was an old guy wearing a lacquered gauze hat, a gorgeous brocade robe, a mink robe, gray hair, a bare mouth, and no beard, a eunuch who knew at a glance!
"This is Gonggong Liu! He is the envoy of the Zhou Kingdom! Unexpectedly, he would also come to the treasure competition today. The butler said in surprise.
"Father-in-law Liu? He was indeed a eunuch! Haha, you see that his posture and movements are really sissy, and there is no certain amount of manliness! Xiao Yao smiled, because it was really the first time he had seen a eunuch.
"Childe's voice! This Gonggong Liu is the envoy sent by the Zhou State to be responsible for imprisoning the tribute paid by our Liang State to the Zhou State, and he is also a close confidant of Yuwenhu, an important minister of the Zhou State, even the eldest prince has to be respectful to him! The housekeeper immediately reminded Xiao Yao, afraid that he would be unscrupulous, and even more afraid that disaster would come out of his mouth!
"Cut, isn't he just a dead eunuch, I'm afraid he's a bird, and he doesn't have a bird, haha!" Xiao Yao sneered, and was even more frightened that the housekeeper's face turned white.
Downstairs, the money shopkeeper came to the stage with a smile on his face, and said loudly with his hands: "Bosses, friends, welcome to the glass treasure competition conference held by our Ruyi Restaurant!" Thank you all for the show! ”
"Don't talk so much nonsense, start bidding! This will be sealed immediately, and our Yinhai Commercial Bank will be decided," a local tyrant's voice sounded.
"Then ask us about Money Hill! Last month's glazed peach was given to you, and this time we won't let it go! ”
"Yes, the one with the highest price will get it, the glass treasures, and our Xinglong Commercial Bank will also be determined to win!"
。。。。。。
Seeing all kinds of coaxing in the audience, Boss Qian was even more smiling and couldn't see his eyes, thinking that he could sell it for a good price again this time, so he went straight to the point: "Bosses, then I won't talk nonsense, and start this auction directly, this glass treasure called the Marquis of Immediately Fenghou, the low price is 888 taels of silver!" ”
"One thousand taels!"
"One thousand one hundred taels!"
"One thousand two hundred taels!"
"Fifteen hundred taels!"
。。。。。。
"Three thousand taels!" The price offered by the gold boss of Money Hill Villa stopped the audience!
This price also suppressed Xiao Yao upstairs, you must know that according to the price of this era, three thousand taels of silver can buy a year's grain in the entire Jiangling City! This couldn't help but make Xiao Yao sigh: "Sure enough, it's not money to spare money!" ”
"Is there any other Rao who bids higher than Boss Jin? One! Two! Three! Congratulations to Boss Jin of Money Villa for successfully photographing this peerless glass treasure - immediately seal the marquis! The money shopkeeper rang the gong and announced the auction results!
"Wait! I'll give five hundred taels! I want to buy this glass treasure! Suddenly, a strange yin and yang voice sounded.
Everyone looked for prestige, only to see that Gonggong Liu, who had been sitting there without saying a word just now, suddenly spoke, and the corners of his mouth were curled, arrogantly provoking everyone around!
"People have already paid 3,000 taels, and he only paid 500 taels? Are you kidding? ”
"Troublemakers, huh? This is the territory of the Xiao family! ”
"Look at him like someone from Zhou Guolai!"
"Ah, it's Gonggong Liu! He is the envoy of the Zhou State, don't be the Xiao family, even the Emperor of Daliang wants to treat him... Thinking of this, this person suddenly didn't dare to go down.
"This, Gonggong Liu, this treasure has been successfully auctioned by Boss Jin for three thousand taels, look at this... The money shopkeeper suddenly felt bad, panicked in his heart, and slurred his words.
"Isn't this glass treasure still in the hands of your Xiao family? Now that I've taken a fancy to this, I'll be crowned a marquis right away! It is already very polite to give you five hundred taels of the Xiao family! If you want me to find Xiao Fu over, I'm afraid that he won't even need five hundred taels at that time, and he will give it to me directly! Gonggong Liu sneered.
"This, this, people can't call the shots!" The money shopkeeper was so frightened that his forehead was sweating, and he had no idea at all!
"You are the treasurer of this glass treasure competition, how can you not be in charge? Why don't I go to Xiao Fu and call the shots? I can't do anything, I really don't know how Xiao Fu usually disciplines you subordinates! Father-in-law Liu looked at the money shopkeeper with a smile.
At this time, Xiao Yao, who was upstairs, saw this bloody scene, and he was stunned: Damn! This is too bloody, this plot can only be played in TV, dare to be so arrogant in his own territory and openly threaten the Xiao family? It's too fat!
"Hmph, it should be the protagonist at this time! Let's go down and join in the fun! Xiao Yao thought about it carefully, sneered, put his hands behind his waist, and walked downstairs arrogantly!
The housekeeper knew this son's temper, so he naturally didn't dare to stop him, but he was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he could only follow downstairs with a nervous face.
