Chapter 204: Auction

Su Bai was speechless, didn't Cheng Chumo tell you that this thing is very easy to make? I don't know if I'm very much like an uninformed bun now!

Of course, Su Bai just said these words in his heart, if he really said it, wouldn't he be unhappy for himself!

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month! Just before today, the auction officially begins!

It was Sun Dake who presided over the auction today, a name that Su Bai had never heard of before, and later Cheng Yanjin told him that this Sun Dake was famous for his eloquence, he made a fortune with a mouth, and he was in the porcelain business, and later when Li Shimin Xuanwumen incident, he gave Li Shimin a lot of money, and Li Shimin did not forget him after becoming the emperor, and made him a viscount.

Su Bai came to Honglu Temple early, his task today is very simple, is to introduce Sun Dake to some places he doesn't understand, there are more than 200 Hu Merchants who came today, and they are the most prominent people in Chang'an Hu Shang!

There are big foods, island countries, and the Western Regions, and there are some countries that Su Bai can't name at all, they came very early, and they each brought their attendants and servants, because it was not time, Honglu Temple did not let them enter, they sat at the door, and blocked Honglu Temple tightly.

Finally, when the time came, an official came out of the Honglu Temple and shouted, "The time has come!" Please take your seats! ”。 When Hu Shang heard this, all the hula hula hugged forward.

"Presumptuous! Don't you know how to be polite and polite! What a bunch of monkeys! A thunderous explosion sounded in front of these Hu merchants, and the Hu merchants couldn't help but stop their footsteps and look at the place where the sound came from. I saw a black-faced man standing at the gate of Honglu Temple, wearing armor all over his body and holding a horizontal knife, his eyebrows stood up, saying that he had eaten people, and the merchants believed it!

This big man is none other than Wei Chi Jingde! For such a big event today, Li Shimin will definitely send someone to the town! So he sent two people, one Wen and one Wu, and the one who wrote was the emperor's eldest brother, the eldest grandson Wuji! Wu is the one in front of him, Wei Chi Jingde!

With Wei Chi Jingde's loud shout, this group of Hu businessmen finally lined up honestly to enter, and at this time they remembered who they were in. Su Bai was standing in the backstage, he had already told Sun Dake the order of the auction before, and the things were placed in the backstage in order, and now there were only four small pillars on the stage, all covered with red cloth, and no one knew what was inside.

The first big food merchant with a big nose to come in, if there is a rich list in Chang'an, he can undoubtedly enter the top five! His name is Aruf, and what he sells is war horses! Although they are all castrated war horses, they are still very marketable in Datang, and he exchanged a large number of tea, silk, and porcelain in Datang, which are undoubtedly luxuries in his country.

And what he paid was just some castrated war horses, which could not be reproduced, and were too old to be used, and could only be used for two to four years, but this was still the best war horse in Datang, which often made him very complacent. There was even a time when he was thinking that this fertile land was actually in the hands of such a group of people without war horses, and he often wondered, is it possible that this land belongs to the Great Food?

When Aluf came in, he saw the four pillars on the stage wrapped in red cloth, and a smile leaked from his face, now that Datang has fallen to the point of pressing the treasures at the bottom of the box because of natural disasters, the land of Datang is also time to hand over to me for big food!

Arufu's heart was very active, but there was no expression on his face, he found a position with a better line of sight and sat down, and Hu Shang, who came in one after another behind him, also found their own positions, and after ten minutes, more than 200 people had all sat in the main hall of Honglu Temple!

After seeing that everyone was full, Wei Chi Jingde shouted: "Close the door!" At the sound of an order, several soldiers closed the heavy door, and all the Hu merchants sitting there suddenly became a little flustered in their hearts.

The atmosphere was a little depressed, and the hall that was still a little noisy suddenly quieted down, and Sun Dake also walked up to the temporary auction table at this time, looked at the Hu merchants sitting under the stand, and said with an amiable smile on his face: "Thank you for coming to Honglu Temple, I am Dake, a descendant of Jingyang County, Datang!" You can call me Lord Sun, today's auction is not talented, it is presided over by Zaixia! ”

All Hu Shang looked at Sun Dake quietly, waiting for his later text, seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Sun Dake's eyes looked in the direction of the gate, where stood two people, one was Wei Chi Jingde, and the other was the eldest grandson Wuji!

The eldest grandson Wuji saw Sun Dake's inquiring gaze, nodded silently, and Sun Dake smiled after seeing the signal: "Today's auction has officially begun!" First, let's auction the first item! ”

The two attendants walked to the first pillar and carefully removed the red cloth, and the eyes of the Hu merchants all fell on it, and they saw that it was a circular fish tank, which was naturally transparent, and the overall transparency was great.

The Hu merchants' eyes were straight, and they thought it was carved out of a whole piece of crystal, so how much did it cost? It is a secret treasure of the palace! The eyes of the Hu businessmen lit up, and they all wanted to know what the starting price of this treasure was.

Seeing this scene, Sun Dake smiled even more on his face, and said softly: "The first auction item is, Sanqing Fish!" ", Since the following Hu merchants dare to come to the Tang to do business, then naturally they understand Chinese, when they heard that the item was Sanqing fish, they were stunned for a moment, how does this thing look like a fish, right?

Just after Sun Dake finished saying the name of this item, an attendant reached out and touched it in the fish tank, and it didn't take long to find a transparent anchovy goldfish! The goldfish carving is very expressive, the whole is transparent, the only place with color is the pair of eyes, which are dotted red, giving people the feeling that not only is not abrupt, but has a finishing touch!

All of a sudden, the Hu merchants were boiling! Who could have noticed that there was a fish in this fish tank? In particular, there are some water splashes on this fish, which reflect colorful lights in the sun, when have they ever seen such a magical thing? At that moment, the eyes of all Hu Shang were sharp, and there was only one meaning on their expressions, I am bound to get this thing!

Sun Dake liked the eyes of the Hu merchants below very much, and coughed lightly and said: "The starting price of Sanqing fish is one thousand taels of silver!" This price can be said to be very terrifying, you must know that a good war horse is only about forty taels, and this small glass fish is enough to exchange for more than 20 war horses!

Although the price was a little terrifying, the Hu merchants below felt that the price was very suitable, and it could even be said to be a little low, and Aluf was the first to start bidding: "One thousand one hundred taels!" He directly raised it by one hundred taels, and only a wealthy businessman like him could do such a thing.

He originally planned to give a high price directly, so that the others would retreat, but he obviously underestimated the love of the businessman behind him for this 'Sanqing Fish'!

"One thousand one hundred and ten taels!"

"One thousand one hundred and thirty taels!"

"One thousand two hundred taels!"

Aluf frowned, feeling that it was a very dishonorable thing for him to bargain with these mud-legged merchants, and without thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and asked, "Fifteen hundred taels!" ”

This time it really scared the others, and the gaze that looked at Sanqingyu restrained even if he was reluctant, one thousand five hundred taels is definitely not a decimal number, this is only the first item, and there is no need for him to start stumbling!

Sun Dake waited a few seconds and saw that no one was bidding, and he didn't continue to set off the atmosphere, this is just the first product, if the atmosphere is set too early, one blow up, then decline, three and exhaustion, that result is not what he wants.

"Okay, congratulations to Aluf from the Great Food Nation for taking our first treasure!" Sun Dake directly announced the result, Sun Dake was also a businessman before, in fact, of the more than 200 Hu businessmen sitting here, he knew at least 150! As for whether people recognize him or not, it's hard to say.

Aluf didn't expect him to actually know him, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud, it seems that even the 'official' of Datang has noticed him. This made him even more contemptuous of Datang, if Sun Dake knew what he was thinking, he would have to laugh out loud.

I noticed you? That's for sure, from the first day you came to Chang'an to sell war horses, I was thinking, how to turn your war horse into my war horse!

After the pen and knife officer on the side wrote down who auctioned what product at what price, Sun Dake introduced the second product with a smile and said, "Next is our second product!" After he finished speaking, the attendant on the side carefully pulled down the red cloth, and Hu Shang's eyes could no longer be separated after the first glance of the items inside!

I saw that under the red cloth was a crystal ball the size of a human head, round and transparent, and what was even more amazing was that there was a flower in the crystal ball! Everyone here didn't recognize this flower, but they all thought that this flower was beautiful and delicate!

This flower was imagined by Su Bai, and it was mixed with the shadows of many flowers, and whoever saw it could find their favorite side in it.

The Hu merchants below began to lose control of themselves, and a few Hu merchants in the front row wanted to get closer to take a look, but the guards stopped them, and Sun Da laughed and said: "The name of this treasure is Wanhua Pearl!" In different places, from different angles, you can see different flowers! It's magical! The starting price for this treasure is 10,000 taels! ”

At this time, the light in the eyes of half of the Hu Shang in the room dimmed, ten thousand taels! The treasure is good, but the price, alas......

"Eleven thousand taels!"

It's still Aruf, he doesn't care about money, now he has gold and silver, and what he lacks is power and status! If he gave this Ten Thousand Flower Bead to the Great Food King first, then what reward would he get?

He was not the only one in the hall who had this kind of thinking......
