"What do you eat in a good year?" Kim Shiro asked, "Do you have any food for the meal?" ”

The old man smiled bitterly: "Ouch, little master, you are laughing." The best land, the best year, one acre of land is only 100 catties of grain, 100 catties is enough to eat. Even in a good year when the wind is smooth and the rain is smooth, we also have to often accompany elm money, camellia, and acacia flowers...... Eat them together, so that you don't starve to death. ”

Saying that, the old man paused: "My family is okay, poor or poor, and there is no debt." In order to survive, other people's families borrowed some debts to live, and now when they open their eyes, they are paying back. What if you can't afford it? Selling sons and daughters. ”

Some soft-hearted ladies wiped tears from their eyes after hearing this.

Some people were puzzled and asked loudly: "Life is so sad, why don't you open up the wasteland?" ”

The old man sighed heavily: "It's even more sad to open up the wasteland."

"Where can the poor afford to open a wasteland, they need tools, and it takes time.

"In the past, there were tenants who didn't want to farm for the landlord's family, so they borrowed grain to eat and went to the mountains to open up wasteland. Clearing the land is very tiring, very hard, very time-consuming, and you can't take care of anything else if you open up an acre of land.

"It has just come out of the raw land, and the harvest is not good, and you have to continue to borrow grain, if you encounter a bad year, there is no harvest, and you can't borrow other people's food, and you want to borrow food again, and other people's families have no food in a disaster year.

At this time, the landlord came out, and the landlord said, "You sell the land to me, and I will give you a mouthful of grain, and in the future, you will return to our family as a tenant." You see, after years of hard work, there was still a pile of grain and debts owed outside, and in the end, the hard-earned land was returned to the landlord.

"You say, in the long run, who else wants to open up the wasteland?"

The guests listened with a sigh.

Jin Shiro felt the same way, he reached out and patted the old man on the shoulder, and then faced the guests, and impassionedly read the epilogue written to him by Xiao Yuanbao: "This is the life of the poor, and this is also the meaning of our auction!"

"The money you spend at the auction will be used for the poor, changing the fate of countless poor people and improving the lives of countless poor people.

"If you spend money, you can not only get valuable flowers and plants, but also bring greater benefits to yourself through these precious flowers and plants!

"And you're helping the poor, which is the best of both worlds! There is no such good thing in the whole world! ”

The guests were very moved.

Oh, yes.

They're helping the poor.

And they also got valuable flowers and plants.

And they also opened up the path to climb upwards.

These precious flowers and plants will be the stepping stone for them to go up.

Spend more.

Don't be stingy!

What they're doing is something very meaningful!

"We must spend more money, and we will actively participate in the auction!" A kind-hearted young lady shouted.

There is also a light in the eyes of other guests!

The old man on the stage left two lines of tears, and the tears rolled to his lips, and he kept saying: "Thank you, Mrs. Master, thank you, Mrs. Master." I'm kneeling down for you......"

Jin Shilang hurriedly helped him up and personally sent him down.

The guests were even more moved.

They decided to be more proactive in the next auction session, because not spending money is not a good person!

Soon, a second pot of orchids was served.

"The next auction is the 'Han Orchid', which is known as the National Orchid, which can bloom in the cold season, which shows its uniqueness, and the cultivation of the Han Orchid has always been said to be nine deaths and one life, which can be seen to be precious!" Kinshiro continued.

The two subordinates immediately walked up with a pot of orchids, stretched out their hands to uncover the black cloth covering the orchids, an elegant and handsome orchid, quietly blooming between the elegant orchid leaves, the fragrance was mellow for a long time, and it hit everyone's noses.

Everyone took a deep breath and immersed themselves deeply.

They are determined to get it!

This is a rare national orchid!

"The starting price is four thousand taels of silver!" Kim Shiro said.

"Four thousand two!"

"Four thousand four!"

"Four thousand six!"

……

On the one hand, everyone wanted to get it, and on the other hand, they wanted to help the poor old man, and the price was much more enthusiastic and generous than the first round!

In the end, under the impetus of those "wealthy businessmen from other places", this pot of Hanlan was auctioned for a high price of 8,000 taels of silver.

That's a pretty appalling price.

Those flower dealers have nothing to say!

Today, they bear witness to the legend!

There has never been a Hanlan that can be sold at this price!

The high hat of charity is really terrible!

On behalf of the poor, Kim Shiro thanked a noble lady who had taken pictures of this pot of orchids and bowed deeply to her; "These people will thank you! You will be blessed! ”

The lady smiled.

Helping others is a joy in her heart, and she feels very satisfied.

Then, Jin Shilang immediately invited the next poor people.

He still asked and answered in the form of a question and answer, so that this ordinary person told the story of his life in a calm tone during the dialogue.

The rope is broken at the finest place, and fate picks the hard-working.

This man spoke very calmly, as if he was telling someone else's story, but many of the dignitaries present burst into tears when they heard it.

It's tragic.

It's so miserable.

They really don't know that the fate of some poor people can be tragically like this.

This strengthened their determination to do good and save others!

Not spending money is not human!

Soon, a third pot of orchids was served.

The black cloth was lifted, and this was a pot of graceful spring sword emperor plums.

"This pot of orchids is called Spring Sword Emperor Plum. This orchid is full of strength, Yongrong and luxurious, just like the emperor who is high above, overlooking the flowers, the posture is noble and majestic, it is the best among orchids! Only Song Mei can compete! The starting price is 5,000 taels! ”

As soon as Jin Shilang's words fell, the audience was in an uproar.

"Even the Spring Sword Emperor Mei has it!"

"Unbelievable!"

"This auction is worth it!"

"I feel like I'm dreaming!"

"Shoot it! It can also help the poor! ”

……

The guests were excited, and some of them couldn't wait to stand up and enjoy the orchid!

"Five thousand three!"

"Five thousand five!"

"Six thousand!"

……

In the end, this pot of Spring Sword Emperor Plum was auctioned for a high price of 10,000 taels!

The whole auction has just begun, and it has been pushed to a climax!

After the orchid session, it was the chrysanthemum session.

The ten precious chrysanthemums of ancient and modern times appear one by one, and people are dizzying.

After the chrysanthemum special session, it is the monthly season special.

Yueji is one of the top ten famous flowers, known as the queen of flowers.

The opening of the monthly season special is a king bomb!

The seasonal variety that was brought to the stage is purple velvet!

This is the most fragrant variety of the moon season in history, and this variety is now almost extinct and extremely difficult to find.

The guests were excited.

The flower merchant was more excited than the other guests!

Not surprisingly, the purple velvet quilt fetched a very high price!

The other six precious and rare moon seasons were also auctioned at high prices!

After the moon season, it is the special session of the flower emperor peony!

These three pots of precious peonies that are difficult to find in the world were auctioned for a total of 50,000 taels of silver!

Worthy of being the emperor of flowers!

Hard goods are the confidence of the auction.

Charity is a gimmick for auctions!

Childcare, let the transaction price of the goods to the next level!

Three in one.

Invincible!

The flower and herb merchants were so jealous that their eyes were red.

Ouch!

Why don't they have such good goods?

How come they don't have such flexible minds!

"The first auction of Tianxiang Pavilion has been successfully concluded! Thank you for coming! Kim Shiro smiled.

The subordinates led 30 poor people to the stage, and they all told their lives of suffering on the stage during the auction just now.

Kim Shiro stood in the middle, and the poor people stood on either side of him.

He took the thirty poor people and bowed deeply to the guests.

"Thank you for your charitable donations! Thirty percent of this auction will be used to relieve the poor people, and one percent will be used to build the Flower God Temple! The people who received the donation will surely thank you for your kindness for the rest of their lives! "At the hands of all the guests, there is a souvenir, which we have carefully prepared, and there is a business card of Tianxiang Pavilion on the souvenir." ”

The guests picked up their business cards and looked at them.

Business cards are exquisite.

They looked at the souvenirs again, and the box looked very high-end.

"We hope you enjoy the souvenirs we have prepared!" Jin Shilang continued, "The complete success of the first auction is inseparable from the full support of every distinguished guest, we have contracted the best restaurant in Cangzhou Mansion, Bazhen Building, tomorrow at noon, all guests are invited to participate in the celebration banquet of Tianxiang Pavilion." ”

The guests nodded.

Jin Shilang said again: "Please all the guests who have auctioned the lots, after the auction, follow the people we have arranged, and go to Tingyu Xiaozhu to collect the lots."

"At noon, we prepared a sumptuous lunch in the flower hall of Xie Yuan, and all the guests who took pictures of the lots can stay and eat.

"After lunch, we asked the top three bidders in this auction to stay, and we invited the best local painters.

"These painters will paint you, along with thirty poor people, and leave you a very meaningful portrait.

"Tomorrow, these portraits will be posted all over the streets, and everyone will praise you and praise you for your charity!"

The three distinguished guests nodded happily.

"As the saying goes, the shadow of a person's famous tree, I believe that with these portraits plastered all over the streets and alleys, your reputation will be on a higher level, those who are officials will be prosperous, and those who do business will be more prosperous." Kim Saburo concluded.

For his summary, everyone does not agree with it.

Isn't it just an auction?

Can you still rise to this height?

Not really, right?

Who cares about auctions between their rich people?

"This auction is a great end! Thank you all for coming, and let's look forward to the next auction! Kim Shiro bowed to everyone one last time and stepped off the platform.

The guests instructed the people around them, brought up the souvenirs, and left Xie Garden in twos and threes.

One of the guests was Mrs. Tang.

Mrs. Tang did not participate in the auction from beginning to end.

She and Lin Shiqing have a very iron handkerchief relationship, and the reason why she came to the auction was to see Mrs. Tantai lose face, so that she could tell Lin Shiqing all this.

Lin Shiqing has been sick twice.

She was distressed.

She can't wait to tie a villain to Mrs. Tantai so that she can vent her anger to Lin Shiqing.

This time, the auction held by Mrs. Tantai was a complete success, which made her feel very sorry.

She thought sadly, would Lin Shiqing become more ill after knowing the news?

Until she returned home, she was still worried.

The maid followed her into the bedchamber.

She glanced at the souvenir that the maid had placed on the table, and said angrily: "What kind of things, dare to send them to us as a souvenir!" ”

She walked straight into the depths of her bedroom.

The two other first-class maids waiting in the room immediately followed, and went to the cupboard to get her clothes to change.

Mrs. Tang was behind the screen, changing clothes, and said, "Caidie, you take apart the souvenir and take a look!" ”

The maid opened the box and said loudly, "It's a tea egg!" ”

Mrs. Tang snorted and laughed: "Tea eggs? What a laughing person! This lady is really a talent. Has she lived in the countryside for a long time, and her grade has been lowered? Hehe, countrymen naturally think that tea eggs are a good thing, but what kind of people are we? Give us tea eggs, she is really not ashamed! No, no, I must tell Shiqing the news, and she will definitely be happy when she hears it. ”

"But ma'am, this tea egg is very fragrant! And the fragrance is very intoxicating, I have never smelled such a good smell of tea eggs. The maid replied.

Now this tea egg is cold, so the fragrance is not far away.

If it's hot, the fragrance is even more intoxicating, and the fragrance wafts through the village.

"Since you think it's so good, I'll reward you for eating." Mrs. Tang said coldly.

"Thank you, ma'am." Butterflies are very happy.

Mrs. Tang shook her head behind the screen, feeling that she was really uninformed.

I've been with myself for so many years, and I'm still like a frog at the bottom of a well.

She changed into her coat and walked out of the screen.

Caidie peeled off a tea egg and said while eating: "Madam, it's really delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious tea egg in my life." ”

Saying that, she didn't even care about the demeanor she had cultivated since she was a child in a big family, and began to gobble it up.

"Is it as exaggerated as you say?" Madame Tang frowned and walked over.

She was also a little curious when she saw that she was eating so violently.

This girl has never been so out of shape in front of her.

This is her dowry maid, who grew up in her mother's house since she was a child.

"Bring one over and give it to me." Mrs. Tang said suspiciously.

Caidie wiped her hands with a handkerchief and immediately picked up another tea egg.

She carefully peeled off half of the eggshell, held the other half of the eggshell with her hand, and sent it to Mrs. Tang.

Mrs. Tang sniffed it carefully and found that the fragrance was indeed very tempting, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

She took a small bite, and it was just one bite that made her eyes straight.

"It's delicious, isn't it?" She said vaguely, "I've never eaten such delicious tea eggs!" ”

She forgot the sarcastic words she had said before, and quickly finished the first tea egg, and after eating, she was a little unsatisfied, and peeled the second tea egg herself.

She immediately finished the second tea egg.

Then, she reached for the third tea egg.

There are only five tea eggs in each souvenir.

In a very short time, she ate all four tea eggs in one go.

After eating, she reached out and touched her bulging belly, and she was still a little unsatisfied, only to feel that the aftertaste was endless.

"I really shouldn't have said that," a look of regret flashed in Mrs. Tang's eyes, "She can fight with Lin Shiqing in the capital for so many years, and she fights equally, it can be seen that she is not a simple character!" I thought that the tea eggs she took out this time would definitely not be on the table, but now I know after tasting it that this is simply the most delicious in the world! The delicacies I used to eat from the mountains and seas were like eating a lonely meal! ”

"The slave thinks so too." Caidie said.

"That's it, don't bother about it, I still want to know, the origin of these tea eggs! If I knew where these tea eggs were sold, I would have you buy them every day! Saying that, Mrs. Tang complained again, "This Mrs. Tantai is really stingy, such a delicious tea egg, you should prepare more!" Why is there only five tea eggs in each souvenir? ”

Having the same feelings as Mrs. Tang, there are other guests who have returned home today.

Originally, those guests were disappointed when they found out that the souvenir was actually tea eggs.

But when they tasted the taste of these tea eggs, they were pleasantly surprised.

Isn't this the world's first delicacy much better than other precious things?

At tomorrow's celebration banquet, they must ask carefully to see where the tea eggs prepared by Tianxiang Pavilion were bought from?

Next.

The weather is sunny and the autumn is crisp.

It's been cold for so many days, but it's finally warmer today.

Xiao Yuanbao, Yutai Jing and Jin Shiro stood in front of Bao Demi.

Jin Shilang was followed by several subordinates of the Tantai family, each holding a large bouquet of flowers in his hand.

The little ingots stepped into the rice line, jumped in front of the counter, and hung himself on the high counter.

She tilted her head: "Uncle shopkeeper, hello wow, where is your owner?" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly reached out and picked her up and put her on the counter: "Whose little girl are you?" What do you want our shopkeeper to do? ”

"We are from Tianxiang Pavilion, yesterday the owner of your rice shop took a picture of a pot of flowers in our Tianxiang Pavilion and spent fifteen thousand taels of silver! It's the highest price in the audience! He's rich! The little ingots said crisply.

"Hahahaha, I still remember you little girl, you bowed to us yesterday, you look so cute!" A voice came down from the second floor, "Little girl, of course I'm very rich, there are three major rice shops in Cangzhou Mansion, and our Baode rice shop ranks third!" We're a well-known rice shop! Moreover, we have also set up rice rows in other parts of the Great Dragon Kingdom! ”

"It's not going to be the third soon!" Little Ingot shook his head.

"Why?" The owner of Mi Xing came over and touched her little head.

"It's going to be number one soon!" The little ingots said loudly.

Although her words made the owner laugh, the owner didn't believe it.

"You kid is so sweet!" The owner of the rice store grabbed a handful of candy from the counter to tease her, "However, doing business is not so easy, the first rice store and the second rice connoisseur have a big business, even if I work hard, it will be difficult to surpass it!" ”

"It used to be difficult, but today it's different!" Xiao Yuanbao handed him a piece of candy, "Let's come over today to deliver the pennant!" ”

"What pennants?"

"'Charity businessman, heart of the world', there is also our Tianxiang Pavilion payment and seal below! This is the first pennant sent by our Tianxiang Pavilion, it is very meaningful! The little ingots patted their little chests and said with a smile.

"But what's the use of that?" The owner of Mi Xing was puzzled.

"I can make your rice trip the first meter line in Cangzhou! We have not only prepared pennants, but we have also prepared eight handfuls of flowers, which can make you have a beautiful new atmosphere! ”

"What does this bring?" Won't there be more customers?

"This is the celebration of Tianxiang Pavilion! Congratulations on how you are about to become the first meter in Cangzhou! Little Ingot said with an oath.

"The little girl's family will be whimsical all day long," the owner of Mi Xing touched the little ingot's head helplessly and dotingly, "Okay, okay, we have accepted the pennant and flowers, I know this is your kindness!" ”

"Boss, you have to believe us!" The little ingots said with a blank eye.

The owner of the rice shop sighed.

How does this make him believe!

Didn't he just buy potted flowers?

What does this have to do with making their rice shop the first rice shop in Cangzhou Prefecture?

Little Ingot turned his head and glanced at Jin Shiro.

Kim Shiro nodded at her, meaning to tell her that everything was ready.

The next big drama is about to begin!
