The homeless man immediately took the couplet he had picked up to a downtown area in the town and hung it high, intending to sell it. This move has indeed attracted a lot of onlookers, and there are not a few people who are interested in this rare couplet.

The homeless man saw a business opportunity at once, so he did not hesitate to open his mouth, and raised the price of the couplet to the height of 2,000 taels of silver.

Although there were many literati present, it was still difficult for them to accept that they should take out 2,000 taels of silver to buy this couplet, and then most of them retreated, and only two people were still evaluating the price offered by the homeless man.

At last one of them was not stopped, and he was heard to say in a loud voice: "I want this couplet!" ”

As soon as his voice fell, another person also spoke: "I am willing to add another 100 taels to the 2,000 taels of silver." ”

When the person in front of him heard someone arguing with him, he was immediately unhappy, and hurriedly said, "Then I will buy it for 2,200 taels of silver." ”

The one in the back continued to shout: "Okay! Hey! Then without further ado, I am willing to pay 2,400 taels of silver to buy this couplet. ”

"2600 taels", "2800 taels", "3000 taels", ...... When the two of them called the price all the way to 4,000 taels of silver, the one who was bidding in front finally stopped. He saw that the person behind him was even more ruthless, as if he wanted to fight himself to the end, so he decided to stop and go home directly.

The one who was bidding immediately said triumphantly to the homeless man in the attitude of a winner: "Haha! This couplet is finally mine. Then you can go back to the house with me, I can't go out with so many silver taels, you go back with me to get it!" ”

The homeless man was just about to nod his head and accept it, when he suddenly heard a cold voice: "The old man bought this couplet for 5,000 taels of silver." ”

I saw 5 people standing in a remote position, led by an old man in his 60s, and behind him were 4 middle-aged men. The voice of the bargain just now came from the old man's mouth.

At this moment, the person who is already preparing to trade money and goods is not very happy, isn't this a blatant sideways? I have already auctioned the goods, but this old guy has to come and snatch it from him, it's really shameless.

He walked up to the old man angrily and said angrily, "You old thing is too shameless, aren't you? I've already negotiated the price with others, but you come to intervene and insist on robbing me, what's the reason? ”

The old man glanced at him coldly, and then said even more coldly: "If you negotiate the price, it doesn't mean that this transaction is over, because the buyer hasn't promised to make a deal with you yet!" Buyer, do you think I'm right? The last sentence was clearly addressed to the homeless man.

The homeless man is a master of money, and for him, the more money the better! The old man opened his mouth and gave out 5,000 taels of silver, and it seems that he is also a big customer! So he said: "What this old man said is that before I agree to trade with anyone, it is reasonable and fair for someone to continue to ask for a price." Since this old man asked for 5,000 taels of silver, if you don't continue to increase the price, I will have to make a deal with this old man. ”

That person was originally a famous family with a bit of family background, so he naturally refused to easily disarm and admit defeat. And he also saw that this couplet was very extraordinary, and if he collected it for a period of time, there would definitely be a huge room for appreciation, so he would not let go. He immediately shouted, "Then I'll give you 5,500 taels of silver!" ”

The old man did not pause at all, and immediately quoted his price: "6,000 taels of silver." ”

For the person who fought with the old man, his price bottom line was 6,500 taels of silver, which means that he only had one chance left to bid, if he called out 6,500 taels of silver, the convenience stopped, naturally it was no better, in case the other party wanted to continue to bid, then he had to obediently disarm and surrender.

But now that the arrow is ready to be sent, he has been stopped on the bar. So, he decided to take a gamble and add another 500 taels of silver to the bottom line of the price he set, and finally set the bid at the threshold of 7,000 taels of silver. His heart was turning over the river and the sea at the moment, and the huge waves were rolling, eagerly hoping that the old man would stop and stop bidding.

But the old man would not follow his wishes at all, not only did he ask for the price, but even raised it up by 3,000 taels of silver, and his bid was suddenly set at an unattainable price of 10,000 taels of silver.

The crowd watching the excitement on the side felt that this old man must be crazy, although such a couplet is very rare, but at most it is worth a thousand children and eight hundred, who knows that he actually wants to use 10,000 taels of silver to buy this thing, what else can it be if it is not crazy?

The person who raised the bar with the old man was also dumbfounded at this time, if he wanted to pay more than 10,000 taels to deal with it, then he couldn't do it anyway, so he had to leave the scene with a scolding. This guy is still a bit of a hint {Shanghainese, which means that he can judge the momentum of the other party, not the ability to provoke himself, so he takes the idea of a good man not to suffer the loss in front of him as the best policy, but he is still a little confused {This is also a word in the Jiangnan language family, which means to describe a person who does things without considering the consequences, can't figure out the situation, and will eventually get into trouble. Swearing.

The old man secretly glanced at several middle-aged men behind him, and these people immediately understood his intentions, and immediately followed the man who failed to bid for the price, and followed not far away. It seems that although this person will not be killed in the future, he will not be able to escape from a fat beating.

If he wants to know who this old man is, let alone let him scold his mother, even if he is allowed to speak, I am afraid it will be difficult to make a sound. Then some people must ask, who is this old man? What is his origin? Hehe! If you want to know, please wait for my next chapter!

I've been very busy lately, and I don't have much time to write, after all, it's still difficult to achieve the goal of eating a full stomach by writing a book, so I must first solve the problem of eating a full stomach before I can settle down to write a book, and when my personal life problems are stabilized, I will come to the regular one, and I hope you will give me your understanding and support. Hehe! That's all for now!
