Boss An was very uneasy when he saw the two wealthy businessmen in Jinling coming, and as soon as the hammer fell, he immediately shouted: "Five hundred and fifty taels." ”

Dou Shaodong's family sighed: "Jianghuai people are stingy, I bid eight hundred taels." ”

Boss An was stunned, looked at the young boy and said, "Will you do business?" Where is there so much to bid? ”

Dou Shaodong's family was very entrenched, and after giving Boss An a look of "you poor ghost", he said arrogantly: "Eight hundred taels of silver, not eight hundred taels of gold, what's the fuss, ham is worth this price." Cooking a fresh food for three years, such a treasure will become a New Year's gift for the capital's elites to compete for when it arrives in the capital. ”

Dou Shaodong's family is looking at this, the powerful in the capital are rich and have a good face, and the more expensive the New Year's gift, the more face.

Boss An was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he was a veteran in the business, and he didn't follow the price anymore, for fear of raising the price too high.

But Dong Dongjia said: "Eight hundred and fifty taels." ”

Seeing this, Mr. Qi also shouted in order to pat the Gu family's fart: "Nine hundred taels." ”

If you want to make a bid, he doesn't want to spend nine hundred taels to buy a pork leg, he just responds to the scene and shouts casually to show goodwill to the Gu family.

Boss An was so angry that he vomited blood, but he still insisted on not following.

Ouyang Hu made a bid at this time: "One thousand taels." Ham is the glass in the meat, the pearl of the sea, and it is worth a thousand taels. ”

In a word, the price of ham has completely risen, and since then, many people have called ham glazed meat, which also began here.

Dou Shaodong's eyes lit up, mother, glass meat, Mr. Ouyang, your words are worth more than ham, and Dou Shaodong's family is even more determined to transport ham to the capital for auction.

But he didn't follow the price, and left the first auction ham to Mr. Ouyang, which could give him momentum for auctioning ham in the future.

He was the first to get up and said: "Mr. Ouyang is famous, and he is our elder, the first ham should be won by you, and the younger generation will not follow the price." ”

He said so, and Dong Dongjia naturally wouldn't follow him anymore.

Gu Jinan asked three times in a row, but there are still people bidding? After seeing that no one was bidding, he hammered the iron and said loudly: "Mr. Ouyang auctioned Yanfu ham at a price of 1,000 taels!" ”

He brought high-quality oiled paper and personally wrapped the ham for Mr. Ouyang, although it was wrapped in oiled paper, but the strips of cloth with the ham were very promising.

Mr. Ouyang was well-informed, and at a glance he saw that the strip of cloth was actually a long piece of embroidery, with a verse of prayer embroidered on it, and four words were embroidered at the end of the strip of cloth: Mr. Fu'an.

"This is Mr. Fuan's embroidery." Ouyang Hu was very surprised: "The value of this ham is bought, and you can even get a small embroidery from Mr. Fu'an." ”

Boss An was shocked when they heard it: "Is it really Mr. Fu'an's embroidery?" ”

They know that this Mr. Fu'an is an embroiderer who suddenly appeared three years ago, famous for his vivid characters and rural scenes, and can also embroider some scriptures, which is very popular with the old lady of the family. Boss An's wife also bought a piece of Mr. Fu'an's embroidery at a high price, which is offered as a baby every day, and it will not be touched easily, and it will only be taken out to show off when the guests are feasting.

"It can't be fake, right?" Boss Tian asked with a mouthful, he didn't believe it, the dignified Fu'an embroiderer will embroider strips of cloth for Yanfulou to tie ham, who can believe it?

However, Ouyang Hu said: "It's genuine, I have two embroideries of Mr. Fu'an at home, and the embroidery method of the font size is exactly the same as this one, not bad at all." ”

Mr. Fu'an's font size is composed of a unique auspicious clouds, these auspicious cloud patterns are very complicated, but there are traces to follow, as long as you look carefully, you will know whether it is true or false.

Ouyang Hu said with a smile: "The old man has earned it, whether you want to buy it or not, you can do it yourself." ”

Dou Shaodong's whole family was excited, and when the second ham was auctioned, it was bought at a high price of 1,500 taels, and the third ham was bought by Dong Dong's family.

Boss An has been holding out the bid, but seeing that the price is getting higher and higher, Gu Jinan also said: "In order to ensure the price of ham, we will only auction ten hams in Yanfu Building this year." ”

In a word, he almost forced Boss An to scold his mother, and in desperation, he could only buy three hams at a high price of 1,800 taels respectively, spending a total of more than 5,000 taels of silver, and almost made him so angry that he fell to the ground on the spot.

But after coming to his senses, Boss An was already thinking about how to double the sale of these three hams.

Hu Dongjia was stunned, he originally wanted to buy a few hams and take them to Futailou for auction, but seeing that the ham was so expensive, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to bid at all, and he felt that he was going bankrupt as soon as he bid.

I'm scared, I'm afraid.

Hu Dongjia wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and his body trembled.

The auction of ten hams was completed in less than two quarters of an hour, and Dou Shaodong's family was rich and wealthy, and auctioned four hams, three for Boss An, two for Dong Dong's family, and one for Ouyang Hu.

Dong Dongjia pointed to Dou Shaodong's family and said: "You kid is really ruthless, you eat four of the ten hams, and you don't leave some for my Dong family." ”

Dou Shaodong said with a smile: "Uncle Dong, it is enough for you to shoot two hams, as long as these two hams are put in your Yifeng Garden, the literati and high-rollers in Jiangnan will immediately gather and auction your ham at a high price." Although you can only buy two hams, you can at least auction the price of ten hams at that time, and you can make a name for your Dong family and make enough money. ”

Dou Shaodong's family is very smart, and he told Dong Dongjia on the carriage that he would not sell the ham in Jiangnan after he took it, but would transport it to the capital, slaughter the silver of the nobles in the capital, and ask Dong Dongjia not to raise the price with him.

Dong Dongjia agreed, and today the two are a win-win situation.

Zheng County, Fang County, and Jiang County Lieutenant were shocked, the pork leg was really sold for a thousand taels of silver!

Fang Xiancheng wiped his cold sweat, this pork leg is too valuable.

After Zheng Xianling was surprised, he had come back to his senses and invited Ouyang Hu: "Mr. Ouyang, today is the winter solstice, and it is fate for us to meet, and please enjoy your face to spend the winter in the house." ”

Brother Cheng is very good at doing things, and said to Ouyang Hu: "Grandpa Ouyang, you can go to Brother Qing'er's house for the winter solstice." As long as you go, I will ask the second sister to give you a jar of Yanfu wine, which is the kind of wine you just drank, which is specially paired with ham. ”

Ouyang Hu likes to drink blended wine very much, but: "Yanfu wine, this name is too casual." ”

Yanfu Building, Yanfu Ham, Yanfu Wine, this is the name given to save trouble, Brother Cheng and his second sister are really too lazy.

Brother Cheng said with a smile: "My second sister said that the word Yanfu is easy to remember and blessed, and Yanfu wine and Yanfu ham are what others know when they hear it that they are our Yanfu Building." ”

However, his second sister finally said that she was just lazy and didn't want to bother thinking about names.

Ouyang Hu laughed when he heard this: "Since this is the case, then the old man will go to the Zheng Mansion to disturb him." ”

After hearing this, Zheng County was overjoyed, and he was very grateful to Brother Cheng, Gu Jiaerlang was really a good one, so he helped his Zheng family.

Zheng Ying admired Mr. Ouyang Hu very much, and said when she heard this: "Uncle, my nephew and Dong Dong's family and Dou Shaodong's family are also going to the house to disturb them." ”

Dong Dong's family has two sons, and they really want to have a relationship with a university scholar like Ouyang Hu, so they can't ask for it.
