Chapter 0011: Selling Alcohol
A minute later, an old man in a Tang costume with gray hair walked into the room, his face ruddy and his eyes clear. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Even if Ban Ming has not yet entered the society, he can feel that this old man has an indifferent aura, which seems to be unusual.
Even the appraiser has such a good appearance and aura, which suddenly made Ban Ming think a little higher about Batong Auction House.
"Hello guest, do you want to auction the wine?" the old man sat down opposite Ban Ming, and there was a low coffee table between the two.
Ban Ming nodded slightly and did not speak.
The old man said in a harmonious voice: "Then there are some things that you still have to inform the guests first, according to the specifications of our Batong Auction House, general wine will not participate in the auction, unless the wine quality is particularly good or the vintage is particularly sufficient, I hope the guests can understand." β
Ban Ming still didn't speak, but took out a small plastic bottle from his pocket, which contained about five milliliters of liquid, and put it on the coffee table.
When the old man saw the plastic bottle, he was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but look at Ban Ming twice to confirm whether the latter was playing with himself - this small plastic bottle was clearly the packaging bottle of the small bottle of purified water sold on the market, and the plastic cover on it had not been torn off.
As a wine expert, the old man knows that the higher the requirements for wine storage, and the different storage utensils will directly affect the taste of wine.
In a blink of an eye, most of the old man's expectations were gone, but he was not angry because of this, and he smiled dumbly in his heart, he heard that someone came to auction wine, and he made a cameo appearance as an appraiser on a whim, but he didn't expect to encounter such a strange thing.
That's it, if you want to do it, you have to do it to the end, but you have to see, what kind of inferior wine is this little guy holding to Batong Auction?
The old man reached out and picked up the plastic bottle, first shook it slightly, observed the flow of wine inside, and then approached the bottle and sniffed it, but there was no trace of wine.
"This guy isn't here to smash the field...... is it," the old man muttered inwardly.
It's no wonder he thinks so, because wine is volatile, even if the bottle is closed tightly, there will be a trace of wine, with the old man's sensitivity to wine, just by virtue of that trace of wine, you can roughly judge the quality of the wine in the bottle.
And now, the old man found that his proud nose actually did not smell a trace of alcohol, which made him wonder if the plastic bottle was filled with wine.
Looking up and glancing at the other side seriously, the old man's gaze easily penetrated his sunglasses and saw Ban Ming's eyes.
It was a pair of young and even childish eyes, but in those eyes, there was only calm, no panic.
"Quirky. β
The old man shook his head secretly, he confirmed that the guest was a young man, his face could be concealed, but his eyes could not be disguised, this young man did not look like he had come to smash the field.
Suspicious of Sinus, the old man twisted the cap of the bottle and sniffed at the open bottle, but there was still no wine at all!
At this moment, there was a trace of anger in the old man's eyes, he put down the bottle in his hand, and said to Ban Ming: "Guest, are you playing with me?"
"Take a sip and see. Ban Ming's voice was hoarse.
The old man was amazed by Ban Ming's calmness, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the plastic bottle that was always open again, could it be that there is really any wine in this world, and it will not volatilize at all?
The old man couldn't help but hold the bottle in his hand again, then opened his mouth and sucked it gently, and a liquor with a diameter of less than five millimeters flew up from the bottom of the bottle, flew out of the mouth of the bottle, and flew towards the old man's mouth.
Just when the wine was less than two centimeters away from the old man's lips, the old man's body shook suddenly, his eyes widened as if he had seen something incredible, and at the same time, the wine that was tied into a silk thread suddenly spilled downward.
"No!" the old man suddenly came back to his senses, opened his mouth to the maximum, and sucked it violently, directly inhaling all the wine in mid-air into his mouth at once.
Rumble!
The old man was struck by lightning, and his whole body was completely stiff and motionless in the sofa.
Ban Ming's heart was dumbfounded, thinking that when he drank ice and fire brew for the first time in the underground labyrinth, it was a similar situation, the wonderful feeling as if his soul was being washed by the two heavens of ice and fire is absolutely unforgettable.
After waiting quietly for about a minute, the old man came back to his senses, his eyes were focused, he breathed again, and he let out a long breath.
This breath was exhaled, and the whole reception room was suddenly filled with the indescribable aroma of wine, like flowers, sandalwood, and musk...... It's a wonderful scent that has never appeared in the human dictionary before, and people can't help but be intoxicated.
And as this breath came out, the old man's face quickly turned red, and even his eyes began to be bloodshot with a hint of confusion, and his whole body exuded a scorching breath, and the whole person was already drunk!
The old man often boasted that he was not drunk in front of a group of old friends, but he didn't expect that today's gutter overturned the boat, and it was just a small sip that made him three points drunk!
This wine is too ruthless.
Before the entrance, like a silent volcano, you can't feel anything strange when you look at it from a distance, until you get close to your lips, you can feel the scorching breath that seems to stand in the crater, all the aroma of the wine is completely concentrated in two centimeters outside the wine, crazy to stimulate people's sense of smell, if the average person smells this kind of wine, I am afraid that they will immediately get drunk for five points.
And at the moment when the wine enters the mouth and merges with the saliva in the mouth, it is like a silent volcano suddenly detonated, and the wonderful taste that continues to erupt is endless, impacting all the taste buds of the human body and stimulating every sensory nerve in the brain!
Cool! Cool!
There is only one word - cool!
And when the liquor ran down his throat, the old man felt as if he was being watered by hot magma, not like drinking other spirits like a knife, but pure piping hot, almost approaching the limit of the human body, making people burn and want to breathe fire.
However, just when he couldn't help but want to roar, a heart-deep coolness spread out in the hot heat, just like the extremely hot Xia Futian poured a large glass of cold beer in one breath, and his soul seemed to be exalted from hell and ascended to heaven in an instant!
And this kind of two extremes are constantly repeated in the body, making the old man feel that he has gone to hell eight or nine times and heaven eight or nine times in just over a minute, and the whole person seems to have died, and it seems to have been transcended.
Moreover, he felt that as the wine was absorbed in his body, some of the hidden wounds in the meridians left by his early years of fighting with others were actually faintly itchy, and there seemed to be signs of recovery!
The last breath he exhaled was the last trace of wine left after his body had digested it, and this trace of wine was not as constricted as before, but expanded instantly, making the whole reception room fragrant.
Fortunately, the Batong Auction Bank protects the privacy of the auctioneer, and the reception rooms are specially customized and completely isolated from the outside world, which does not cause the further spread of the wine, otherwise the entire Batong Auction House will be filled with the aroma of wine at this moment.
"Good wine!" the old man sighed with a long sigh, still unfinished, revealing a look of love and fear.
He is a lover of wine, and he thinks that he has already tasted all the best wines in the world, but it is only today that he realizes that what he used to drink is dross!
The old saying compares wine to the elixir and jade liquid, which is inevitably a bit exaggerated, but the old man feels that the wine he has just drunk can be fully worthy of the four words of agar and jade liquid!
He couldn't help but rejoice that he had a whim today, otherwise wouldn't he have missed such a peerless wine?
The old man collected the stirring thoughts, his eyes fell on Ban Ming's face, his eyes were a little strange, and said, "You really want to put this kind of wine out for auction?"
"Not bad. Ban Ming said in a hoarse voice.
As he spoke, Ban Ming took out a sauce-colored pottery wine jar that looked a little old from his backpack and placed it on the coffee table.
Seeing that there was a whole jar of peerless wine just tasted, the flesh on the old man's face was jumping uncontrollably, and he couldn't suppress his excitement.
Taking a deep breath, the old man looked at Ban Ming frankly and said, "Xiaoyou, I have a reluctant request, I want to buy this jar of wine in my own name, and in terms of price, I can pay three thousand...... No, thirty million. Saying that, there was a hint of shame on his face, "Of course I know that if such a fine wine is taken out for auction, its value will be more than 30 million, but ......"
The old man couldn't hear what Ban Ming was saying later, and there were only three words in his head...... Million!
Oh, Lao Tzu thought that it would be good to be able to auction this jar of wine for a few million! Who thinks, as soon as this old man opens his mouth, he will be 30 million, and he is embarrassed, spending 30 million to buy jar wine, the world of rich people really can't understand!
Under the mask, Ban Ming bit his tongue fiercely, the whole person was excited, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, the old man is quick to talk, to be honest, if I am not in a hurry to wait for the money turnover, I will not take out this kind of wine for auction, according to what you said, 30 million, the wine is yours!"
"Deal, please wait, I'll get the money immediately!" the old man was overjoyed and said to Ban Ming.
Ban Ming pretended to be calm and nodded.
The old man got up and was about to leave the reception room, when he suddenly thought of something, he took a deep breath, the air in the reception room surged slightly, and all the aroma of wine disappeared in an instant.
In the final analysis, the so-called wine aroma is just some aroma molecules flowing in the air.
The elderly, on the other hand, control the smell and reduce the air movement as little as possible, but absorb the aroma molecules in the air.
Easier said than done, just this hand, Ban Ming was completely suppressed - dry, this means, at least they are all realm powerhouses, right?
It wasn't until the old man left the conference room that Ban Ming came to his senses and realized one thingβI'm afraid that an ordinary appraiser wouldn't be able to come up with 30 million at once, right?
"Something is wrong, this old man won't call a helper, do you want to slip away? It's not right, with this old man's cultivation, if he really wants to have bad intentions, he can directly suppress me, why bother to find a helper?" Ban Ming was shocked in his heart.
In the spiritual world, Uncle Ghost sneered: "Look at your potential, this little guy has a high-grade cultivation in the realm, and it is only 30 million, so he will not bully you, a junior boy." β
"Can you see through this old man's cultivation?" Ban Ming said in surprise, even more surprised that the old man's cultivation was so high.
Although the Heavenly Realm is respected in the world today, the number of Heavenly Realm powerhouses is extremely small, and they belong to the part of people who stand at the top of the pyramid, and under the Heaven Realm powerhouses, the martial artists in the Earth Realm can already be called first-class masters.
Such a martial arts master, regardless of his status and status, if he wants to make money, it is actually very easy, and there is no need to be an appraiser in an auction house at all.
