Chapter 101: Golden Toad
"The second piece, five-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, has a starting price of one hundred taels!"
"Two thousand!" may also be because of the excitement of the opening of ambergris, and the people who shouted the price also shouted directly to the price of the medicine on the market, and most of the people who sat were pedestrians, shouting too low was just to deceive themselves.
"Three thousand taels!" Someone added a thousand as soon as he shouted, and other people saw that the price was not low, and there was no point in adding more. In addition, the man shouted loudly, and I am afraid that he is also determined to win.
"Three thousand two times, three thousand two times, three thousand two times, bell!" Qin Lao shook the golden bell in his hand, "Deal!" β
"Auction the third piece below, Snow Lotus ......"
β¦β¦
One auction item after another was auctioned off, and the ringing of bells pushed the auction to wave after wave and high. Toward. Don't look at these things seem to be very common here, for the world outside Dongzhou City, they are all things that are hard to come by. So even those who didn't get it felt that the ten taels of silver were worth it.
But the only thing that was not disturbed by these cries was the sixteen private rooms in the innermost circle. No one would think that the people in the private room would have no money, the only reason is that they don't value those things!
"Bell!" There was another long, crisp golden bell, and all ten ordinary auction items were famous. Qin Lao smiled on the round stage, and it seemed that he was quite satisfied with the price sold today.
As soon as the tenth auction ended, everyone couldn't help but lift their hearts and stared intently at the round platform in the center of the field.
Qin Lao also put away the relaxed expression that he had just now, carefully took out a delicate box on the shelf, touched the lid of the box with his hand, and said as if he sighed: "The old man has experienced six auctions in this auction house, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to auction such a thing today, this life is worthwhile!" β
Everyone was so hung up by him that they were about to stop breathing, but they were still reluctant to take their eyes off the box and stare at it.
Fortunately, although Qin Lao sighed, he still remembered his duties, and he opened the lid of the box with some excitement and showed the contents in front of everyone: "Everyone, here is the first treasure of this auction - gold - toad - toad!" β
Even if it was far away, everyone saw the red thing in the box.
"Golden Toad, I've only seen it in books, but I didn't expect someone to be able to capture it! It is rumored that the golden toad can cure all kinds of poisons, and it is named because its blood is golden. Qin Lao raised his head at this time and glanced at the audience, "Everyone, this golden toad has been stunned by the medicine that does not hurt the roots, and it is still a living thing!" β
"Shhhh
"Wow-"
As soon as the word "living creature" came out, the audience first gasped, and then there was an uproar.
They were also shocked by the scarlet moon, it turned out to be a living thing? This kind of legendary thing only appeared in front of them, but it was still alive. Even if it is a golden toad's skin lying in the box today, it will be auctioned for a sky-high price, let alone a living thing.
"Perhaps, the friends who photographed it can try to raise it and see what is magical! Hehehehe......" Qin Lao said what was in everyone's hearts, and he couldn't help but provoke the hateful eyes of those who had hot eyes.
But what if he didn't say it? Or is it the same sentence, how many fools came to Dongzhou to participate in the auction?
Therefore, as soon as Qin Lao's voice fell, many people stopped thinking. Why? Because this golden toad is definitely not something they can think of.
"Now the auction begins, and the starting price is 10,000 taels of silver!"
"Twenty thousand taels!" When someone in the crowd outside shouted, it received a look of contempt from almost the audience.
"Huh-" booed, this bit of silver was an insult to the strange thing.
The person who shouted 20,000 also realized that he was too stupid, and hurriedly took the ticket to block his face, "It's too embarrassing!" But fortunately, the next voice quickly relieved him of his predicament.
"One hundred thousand!" A cold female voice came, and everyone followed the voice, and sure enough, the voice came from one of the sixteen private rooms. It seems that this living golden toad is also very tempting and confusing to the people in the private room.
"It's so beautifulβ" In the private room next door, an older boy sighed as he looked at the sleeping golden toad in the box through the screen, "I don't know if that medicine will hurt it." It's so beautiful, sister, isn't it? β
The boy turned to the girl sitting behind him.
"Ugly!" Although the girl was also very curious about the function of the golden toad, the blood-red pimple on her body made her shiver for a while, even if its function was against the sky, she was not sensitive.
"Sister, you don't know how to appreciate!" The boy spoke to the girl for the first time, then turned his head to look at the stage with an obsessive gaze, "I don't know what it likes to eat......
"Hey, do you have the money to buy it?" The girl heard the shouting from next door.
When the boy heard this, he turned his head and triumphantly took out the thing in his arms, "Hehe, I have this!" β
"You...... Uncle actually gave you all this? β
The boy looked lonely for a moment when he heard this, and soon smiled proudly: "That's it! "It's just that smile, how can there be a trace of taste.
"One hundred thousand taels, does anyone still want to increase the price?" Qin Lao looked at the venue with the box, he knew that this price was far from enough.
Before his mind turned, a new shout came: "150,000!" β
As soon as the price came out, Hua Lian on the stage raised her eyebrows, and a playful smile appeared on her face.
Qian Scarlet Moon and they also glanced at each other, with strange eyes. This also carries the shrill voice of the boy before he became an adult, isn't it the young master of the Tong family who has crossed paths with them twice, childlike.
After the conflict in the Free Bazaar that day, Zhou Dong also told them that Tong Xin was the only son of the Tong family, the most powerful family in Dongzhou City, and that is, the future heir.
They weren't curious at all in the private room, and it seemed that he was also very hot for the golden toad, and even his voice was tinged with excitement and trembling.
"Two hundred thousand!" At this time, the previous female voice sounded again, and it was increased by 50,000 at once.
"Three hundred thousand!" The childlike heart was increased by 100,000, and the female voice did not sound again.
Qin Lao glanced at the audience, and his eyes showed undisguised disappointment. Although 300,000 is high, it seems to be stingy with the golden toad. It's just that most of the people sitting in the private room are well-known people in the medical field, and they were invited by the three families. The future heir of the Tong family is obviously bound to win the golden toad, and to be against him is to be against the Tong family, and they all need to weigh this point.
Qin Lao shook his head, some people who caught this golden toad were not worth it, he was just about to open his mouth to count down, when suddenly a joking voice came: "Four hundred thousand!" β
