The Village Takes Off Chapter 101 Fair (2)
Subsequently, other glass products such as tea sets, teacups, and statues of gods were also sold at high prices.
Finally, Zhou Fuliu continued: "Next, what we want to exhibit is a glass mirror, everyone is no stranger to the copper mirror, but the shadow reflected by the copper mirror is vague and hazy, but the glass mirror of our Juzhou glass workshop is very clear, even the hair on the face is clearly visible." I don't think there is a woman who doesn't like such mirrors. ”
At the same time, the guys lifted the red cloth that had been covering a corner of the shelf, and more than a dozen glass mirrors, large and small, appeared in front of everyone.
The people in the audience saw the glass mirror on the stage and there was a commotion again, and they talked about it.
Zhou Fuliu continued: "Now there are hundreds of glass mirrors of various sizes in the store, and the price of each side ranges from a few taels to several hundred taels of silver. ”
Then she changed her words and said: "Now we have to compete for the last exhibit of today is called 'Mirror King', this Mirror King is a dressing mirror that is seven feet high and two feet wide. The frame wood is golden silk nanmu, hollow carving. This mirror king is the only one, and the reason why it is precious is that it is from thousands of pieces of glass to select such a large piece of flawless glass. Now we are selling at a competitive price, and the highest price wins. The initial price is five thousand taels of silver, and each increase cannot be less than one hundred taels. ”
At the same time as Zhou Fuliu introduced, the Youlan girl and another girl from Qunfanglou walked to the front desk with a tall glass mirror and took off the cover. Immediately a smooth and bright mirror appeared in front of everyone, and everything in the mirror was clearly visible. Youlan also deliberately stood in front of the mirror, posed, sorted out her clothes, and gave everyone a demonstration, causing a commotion in the audience.
At this time, someone in the audience shouted: "I will give 5,500 taels." ”
"Six thousand taels!" Immediately there was another bid.
"Six thousand five hundred taels."
Many of the people who came to the exhibition today are wealthy businessmen from other places to participate in tomorrow's auction, and these people have become the main buyers today. This is also the main reason why Zhou Fuliu wants to arrange the exhibition today. One is to be able to sell a good price, the other is to be able to quickly publicize, after this exhibition, the whole province is to the whole country will know the glass of Hejia Village.
After a while, the price soared to 20,000 taels, and only two people were still competing for it.
"Twenty-one thousand taels!" One of the wealthy businessmen shouted.
After a pause, the other did not bid again. At this time, Zhou Fuliu asked: "Is there anyone else bidding?" Twenty-one thousand taels for the first time. ”
There was silence in the audience.
"Twenty-one thousand taels for the second time."
"Twenty-one thousand five hundred taels." Another person who was fighting with him gritted his teeth.
"Don't fight, I'll pay 30,000 taels!" At this time, a young man at the back of the crowd stepped forward and said.
Zhou Fuliu followed the prestige, and saw that the man was about twenty years old, gorgeously dressed, and holding a paper fan. He is handsome, his face is like a carving, and his angular face is unusually handsome. It looks like a bohemian on the outside, but the inadvertent light in his eyes makes people dare not underestimate it. A black and dense hair is pulled up high by a golden crown, and under a pair of sword eyebrows is a pair of slender peach blossom eyes, full of affection, which makes people fall into it if they are not careful. The tall nose and moderately thick red lips were full of empty eyes and an unruly smile at this time.
It is implied in the book that this person is Lu Shaowen, the eldest son of Lu Jie, one of the top ten salt merchants in Yangzhou. The Lu family began to do salt and grain business in the fifth year of Hongzhi, and within a few years they became the top ten salt merchants in Yangzhou. Now the scope of business is gradually expanding, and the grocery business is also one of the businesses of the Lu family. Therefore, Juzhou soap and Shujia soap naturally attracted the attention of the Lu family. Now that Hejia Village is building a city, Lu Jie, who has a keen business vision, has already smelled business opportunities. He sent his son here to bid for a piece of land, and Lu Shaowen felt that the rich and prosperous businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River came to the poor and remote Juzhou to bid for land, but he didn't think so. When you get here, you naturally see everything.
Zhou Fuliu secretly thought in his heart that this man must be a profligate and wealthy kid who spends a lot of money. Looking at his empty eyes and unruly smile, I couldn't help but feel disgusted. But out of politeness, she still said politely: "Thirty thousand taels for the first time, is there a higher bid?" ”
The audience fell silent again.
"Thirty thousand taels for the second time."
There is still no bid in the audience. 30,000 taels of silver, buy a mirror, there are not so many willful rich people in Juzhou City.
According to the rules, if no one offers three times, this mirror king belongs to the young rich son in the audience. Zhou Fuliu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart, she was not because the price was not high enough, in fact, 20,000 taels was already a sky-high price. She was unwilling to be taken by the debauched and flashy rich man in front of her because of such a mirror king.
At this time, Zhou Fuliu couldn't delay any longer, so he had to say: "Thirty thousand taels for the third time, congratulations ......"
"Thirty-five thousand taels!" A voice came from the crowd.
Then there was another uproar in the audience.
Zhou Fuliu was also in good spirits. Immediately afterward, she said, "Thirty-five thousand taels for the first time." ”
After an interval of five or six breaths, she said, "Second time." ”
"Four ......" The flashy rich man had just said a word, and the person next to him grabbed him and said, "Young Master, you can't increase the price anymore." The money is to be used to buy land tomorrow, and there is no delay in getting down to business. ”
The rich kid glanced at the crowd, but did not find the person who made the bid, and glanced at Zhou Fuliu on the stage unwillingly, so he had to give up the offer.
"Thirty-five thousand taels for the third time! Deal! Congratulations to the boy in the audience, you won today's Mirror King. Ask Childe to come on stage. Zhou Fuliu said happily.
In the crowd, a young scholar with a slightly chubby figure walked up to the stage. This man was about twenty years old, with a fair complexion, thick eyebrows, big eyes, single eyelids, and ordinary dress, and he did not look like a rich man from the outside. This person is none other than Liang Yuesong, the son of Lord Liang.
It turned out that Liang Yuesong and the scholar went to Jixian Bookstore today to deliver the manuscript, and by the way, he went to get the manuscript of last month. When the business is done, he wanders the streets. He immediately discovered the exhibition here, and when he saw that it was his mother in his previous life who was presiding over the exhibition, he was also very surprised, and he stood under the stage to watch.
When he saw Lu Shaowen in Yangzhou, his eyes were empty and proud, and he saw Zhou Fuliu's expression of some loss and unwillingness. The emotion of protecting his mother in his previous life was heartfelt, but he only had 10,000 taels of manuscript silver in his hand, and he didn't have that much money, but in a hurry, he couldn't take care of it so much. So he shouted out the offer of "thirty-five thousand taels".
When the young man stood on the stage, someone in the audience already recognized this as the son of Lord Liang of Zhizhou. For a while, someone in the audience was whispering: "Lord Liang is so rich, I really didn't expect it!" ”
"Yes, it turns out that the real rich person in our Juzhou City is Lord Liang."
"That's what a lot of money."
"Phew, there is no official who is not greedy."
Zhou Fuliu and Liang Yuesong both heard the discussion in the audience, and Zhou Fuliu's face showed embarrassment. She didn't expect the current Zhizhou Gongzi to be so reckless.
Liang Yuesong had expected this situation long before he stepped on stage, and he calmly arched his hand to the stage and said: "Don't misunderstand, this silver is earned by me by my own ability, and it has nothing to do with my father. ”
When everyone in the audience heard this, their reaction was mediocre. No one believed that a young scholar who was not engaged in business and was not an official would have so much money if he nested in the yamen every day. Only what he said was used as a prevarication and cover-up. Many people's disdain and dissatisfaction were immediately written on their faces.
Zhou Fuliu naturally didn't believe what Liang Gongzi next to him said. When he said this, the embarrassment on Zhou Fuliu's face became even stronger.
To the surprise of everyone present, what Liang Yuesong said next.
Liang Yuesong said to everyone again: "On the orders of my father, I originally planned to keep it out of the public all the time. But today I have to disclose this secret, in fact, I am the author of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" February Song. All this money was obtained from my manuscripts, and Boss Xin of Xianji Bookstore could testify for me. ”
