The old man's words fell.

Dang Lang –

The gong and drum in his hand were sounded, and a gong reverberated in the teahouse.

Hearing the sound of gongs and drums, the expressions on everyone's faces immediately became serious, and they stared intently at the stage.

Liu Bo looked at the old man who was beating the gong on the stage, and saw that everyone present was waiting for each other, and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Yang Li calmly explained: "Ancient and modern auction halls are all called by gongs and drums, one sound is the start of the auction, and three sounds are the start of the auction. ”

"This has been said for a long time, as it is widely believed that the act of striking a gong is a symbol of great achievement in a lifetime, and it is a very memorable moment."

Liu Bo suddenly realized: "I said that people marry daughters-in-law and beat gongs and drums early in the morning." ”

Ma Pingqing, who was on the side, listened to Yang Li's explanation, nodded, and thought even more highly of Yang Li.

It is extremely rare for such an old tradition to be described in such detail by young people.

After a gong sounds...... Ten hostesses walked upright, with their hands flat on their chests, and came to the stage one by one with trays.

They each occupy a corner and stand in a circle facing the audience.

At the foot of each of them is a circle with serial numbers, one to ten.

The auctioneer of Xiaoxiang Teahouse pulled his collar, went straight to the stage, and bowed to everyone.

smiled: "Bosses, I am today's auctioneer, and I believe everyone here is already familiar with the rules of Xiaoxiang Teahouse." ”

"I won't say anything too long, I'll introduce them one by one, you each bid, the highest bidder wins, and the gong rings three times to win the auction."

"At that time, everyone who has successfully bid can go backstage to pay the relevant fees and receive the lot."

After saying the opening sentence, the auctioneer smiled slightly, came to Lot 1, and raised his hand to uncover the first red cloth introduction.

At this moment, the door of the teahouse was pushed open, and a slightly dull space shone in an extremely abrupt mottled light and shadow.

The crowd looked dissatisfied, only to see a man with a beard coming in from outside the door.

He is tall and wears a fur coat with a black coat underlining.

Walking into the auction hall with his military boots on his feet.

The man was followed by four or five men, all dressed in coarse cloth robes, with bulging pockets and fellows pinned to them.

Tattoos like ghost drawings can be seen on the exposed skin, and several people have scars on their faces and necks, and their faces are very fierce.

It seems that it should be a thug brought by a man.

"Who's so big?"

Yang Li was slightly surprised when he saw someone coming.

When the auctioneer saw the comer, his face changed slightly, and he immediately stopped the movements of his hands, not daring to act rashly.

People kept getting up in the box on the second floor, watching the people below get up respectfully and salute.

Ma Pingqing, who was sitting next to Yang Li, also got up and saluted respectfully.

Yang Li was a little puzzled, looked at Ma Pingqing and asked, "Do you know this person?" ”

Ma Pingqing sat down after saluting, and then explained to Yang Li: "This person is the eighth master, in the antique business, I am afraid that no one will dare not give the eighth master face." ”

Hearing the title of Eighth Master, Yang Li suddenly realized.

Nodding his head and saying: "No wonder, the eighth master has always had a good reputation in the antique industry, as long as he appears, there will be the best in the world." ”

"It's rare for ordinary people to see the figure of the eighth master."

Liu Bo asked, "What?" He is the owner of Xiaoxiang Teahouse? ”

Yang Li said: "The eighth master is a seller in the industry, he only sells the best, and his whereabouts have always been very mysterious, and no one knows where the best in his hand comes from." ”

After the people at the auction saw that the person who came was the eighth master, the dissatisfaction on their faces instantly dissipated.

They all cast their eyes, and saw that the eighth master didn't say a word, and led people up the T-shaped staircase.

However, he went up to the second floor and did not stop, and went down the stairs of the side door to the third floor.

I saw that there was a separate box in the middle of the third floor, and the box was still wide open, with tiger skin seats, glass smoke, and green jade tea bowls...... The ultimate in luxury.

Yang Li didn't notice that there was still a third floor until now.

The eighth master came to the tiger skin seat and sat down, shook his shoulders, shook off his fur coat, and someone next to him immediately cut a cigar.

After burning, he respectfully handed it to the eighth master.

The waiter, dressed in a blue and white cheongsam, with a graceful figure, stepped forward quickly, came to the eighth master's side, and handed a white jade hand card in his hand to the eighth master.

and respectfully withdrew.

I saw the eighth master biting a cigar in his mouth, casually reaching out and taking the white jade hand.

Take a puff and spit out the smoke, which looks extremely arrogant.

From beginning to end, the eighth master didn't say a word, but the shock he brought to everyone was incomparable.

It seems that at that moment, under its strong aura, everyone became spectators.

The auctioneer faced the eighth master with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for the eighth master to call the shot, and then dared to continue the auction.

The staff of Xiaoxiang Teahouse also waited without saying a word.

Liu Bo looked at the very old eighth master and pouted in confusion: "He is a seller, why did he give a hand?" ”

"Don't underestimate this hand."

Ma Pingqing was stunned and said: "This hand is customized for the eighth master, completely made of white jade, and the material is made of the best mutton fat white jade, and the cost alone will be millions." ”

"If there is an auction that is white-hot, you only need to stretch out your hand to decide the ownership of the lot, and if the eighth master wants it, the lot will be sent directly to the box on the third floor."

"I mean, it's so big."

Liu Bo didn't care too much, after all, the status disparity between the eighth master and him was too big, and it was impossible for the two to communicate.

Liu Bo asked, "Is this auction still starting?" ”

Ma Pingqing looked at the eighth master and said, "This is going to wait for the eighth master to speak, since he is here, this face still has to be given." ”

"Oh......"

After listening to this, Liu Bo frowned, and couldn't help but complain: "Then when he goes to the toilet, does everyone have to wait for him to put on his pants?" ”

Ma Pingqing choked, smiled awkwardly, and didn't answer.

Yang Li coughed, hurriedly interrupted Liu Bo, and said, "Don't mumble, since the people have already come, the auction will naturally start, you have a little patience." ”

"Hehe, I'm not in a hurry, I'm just a little itchy and want to see what the next lot is."

Liu Bo was said by Yang Li, scratched his head, and laughed dryly.

At this time, the waiter outside gently knocked on the door, and then walked in.

came to Ma Pingqing, added a cup of tea, and immediately came to Yang Li.

By pouring the tea, he quietly put down a folded note.

When Yang Li saw the note, he was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the waiter.

The waiter glanced at Yang Li and replied in a low voice: "5 hearts." After speaking, without any explanation, he walked straight out of the box.

5 of hearts?

Yang Li turned his head to look at the 5 box of hearts next door.

Just seeing Yu Yue's gaze, Yang Li was slightly surprised and unfolded the note in his hand......
