Chapter 136: Short Knife
As time passed, there was still no one in the audience to open their mouths to bid, and small beads of sweat oozed from Concubine Li's anxious forehead.
"Hey!" Concubine Li sighed secretly, and was about to open her mouth to end the auction of this second lot, when a faint voice sounded.
"One thousand taels."
Concubine Li looked at it when she heard the sound, and saw a handsome young man looking at her with burning eyes.
"One thousand taels one time!" Concubine Li hurriedly raised her hand and pointed at the young man, with a beautiful smile on her face.
"One thousand, two, two!" Concubine Li paused for a moment and immediately shouted.
"One thousand, two or three times, deal." Concubine Li's raised hand quickly fell, and the auction was completed.
"Let's congratulate this gentleman on his treasure, thank you." Concubine Li bowed slightly to the young man and smiled.
The other people who participated in the auction naturally did not look angry, looking at the appearance of the auctioneer, everyone thought that he was poor Concubine Li, or a pig brother who was obsessed with Concubine Li's beauty, in order not to embarrass Concubine Li, he paid a lot of money to buy this useless stone.
At the critical moment, it was naturally Dowling who took pictures of the black boulder, he was not for what others thought of Concubine Li, but completely for this stone.
The auction continued, and Concubine Li's gaze always stayed on Dowling, intentionally or unintentionally.
Dowling naturally smiled back, after all, Concubine Li is also a beauty, and if she has a good relationship, she will naturally be taken care of at the auction.
For example, if you accidentally don't see someone raise your hand, or you deliberately help delay time, or you accidentally talk quickly, and the three shouts end instantly, etc.
However, Concubine Li's kindness did not make Dowling feel it, because until the end of the fifth lot competition, Dowling has never raised his hand again.
"Now I have the sixth lot, a high-strength forged short knife, which was acquired by this auction house from outside the mainland, and it belongs to the ownerless, so you can buy it with confidence." Concubine Li clapped her hands, and a hostess walked up holding a red silk tray.
Hearing that it was a short knife, Dao Lin's lazy figure in the distance suddenly sat up, and this action fell very skillfully in Concubine Li's eyes.
"This lot is extremely sharp, blowing hair and cutting iron like mud, friends who like short knives can actively participate, the reserve price is 5,000 taels, and the price increase shall not be less than 100 taels each time, start now." Concubine Li said and raised her slender jade hand directly.
"Five thousand one hundred taels!" There is a quote directly in the back row of the audience.
"I like this short knife, I'll give five thousand two hundred taels."
"Is your liking worth a hundred taels? I'll give five thousand five hundred taels! The person in front of him shouted disdainfully.
"Hmph, don't be complacent too early, I'll pay five thousand eight hundred taels." The two bidders began to compete with each other.
Dowling frowned and looked at the short knife on the stage, if there was any lot he was interested in except the black boulder, it was this short knife.
This knife is introduced as, the same body is dark purple, the blade is about the length of the forearm, can be waved well, and the blade is strong, the blade is sharp, it is a good weapon.
"How? Interested? Quit Drinking, looking at Dowling with a distracted face, asked.
"To be honest, I like this knife a lot, and with my kitchen knife, the combat effectiveness of the two-handed double knife will definitely double." Dowling nodded and said.
"Well, Shuangdao can ask me, and I can teach you." Hollow leaned over and whispered.
Hearing this, Daolin's eyes burst out, yes, Hollow will use double knives, if he decides to use double knives, he can let Hollow teach himself, and he will be a cheap master.
"Okay, I'll shoot as much as I can." Dowling whispered.
As they spoke, the price of the sixth lot had risen to seven thousand eight hundred taels, which was not cheap for Dowling.
"Eight thousand taels!" The first bidder finally gave his highest price after thinking about it for a long time, and although he liked the short knife very much, if the price exceeded the budget, it would affect the bidding of other lots.
"What's wrong? Running out of money so soon? The second person who had been fighting with him showed a mocking smile at this time.
"Hmph, if you have money, you can shoot." The first person to quote sneered and said, he is the one who is bidding now, if the other party can only talk fast, he naturally doesn't care.
"I'll give you eight thousand one hundred taels." The second slowly raised his arm in disdain.
Concubine Li pointed her raised hand to the second place at the same time, and a sweet voice sounded.
"Eight thousand one hundred and two times, if you still have friends who like it, you can continue to increase the price."
There was silence.
"Eight thousand one hundred taels for the second time." Concubine Li said, her eyes looked at Dowling, as if to determine whether the young man would make a bid.
The time interval between the second and third bids is a little long, and it is obvious that everyone knows that this Concubine Li is waiting for a price increase.
Sure enough, Dowling did not disappoint Concubine Li, and he slowly raised his hand.
"Eight thousand two hundred taels."
"This gentleman bid eight thousand two hundred taels, and if there is a higher bid, eight thousand two hundred taels for the first time." Concubine Li quickly pointed her finger at Dowling and said.
The second man didn't expect someone to intervene at the last moment, and suddenly stood up from his seat, he wanted to see who was going to fight him.
"I'll give you eight thousand five hundred taels!" After the second person glanced around, he raised the price by three hundred taels.
"The price here has been increased to 8,500 taels, will Mr. continue to increase the price?" Concubine Li pointed her finger back to the second person, but her gaze was at Dowling.
"Eight thousand eight hundred taels." Dowling shouted again with a slight increase in his hand.
"Eight thousand eight hundred taels once!" Concubine Li pointed her hand back again, and quickly made the first shout.
"I'll pay nine thousand taels, bastard, who is robbing Lao Tzu?" The second man scolded furiously.
Naturally, Dowling won't bother with him, auctions, those who have money get it, and opening his mouth to scold the street will only make people feel ridiculous.
Dowling raised his hand again, and this time he directly raised the price to nine thousand five hundred taels.
I heard that the price was 9,500 taels, and if he could win this short knife next time, it would be 1,600 taels more than before, which made the man feel very wronged, so he stopped bidding.
"Nine thousand five hundred taels for the first time!"
"Nine thousand five hundred taels for the second time!"
Concubine Li's eyes swept over the auction hall, her arm was about to fall, and at the same time she smiled and shouted: "Deal, the bidding price is nine thousand five hundred taels." ”
This is actually a technique, shouting the deal first and then shouting the price, you can set the auction first, as for someone questioning the fairness, she can call herself careless, and the transaction price is also shouted out, which is not unfair.
Dowling happily went backstage to pay the money, and when the short knife really fell into his hands, he discovered the strangeness of the knife.
Back in his seat, he took the lead in handing over the short knife to Hollow, because he had the remnant soul of the peerless sword demon in his body, and for the knife, Hollow was definitely the best experiencer.
"This knife is kind of weird." After looking at it carefully, Hollow looked at Dowling with a shocked expression.
