Chapter 95: The Auction
After another half moon, the first sunny day after the snow, the morning sun is full of mountains, the layers of leaves are covered with frost and snow, and the ice crystals on the branches are flickering, like a jade tree, shining with dazzling luster.
"Ah Li, Ah Li, I'll wait for you at the bottom of the mountain." A spirit bird landed by the window, and Qin Sizhu's voice sounded.
A few days ago, I heard the master say about the auction, she remembered it, and made an appointment with Qin Sizhu to go down the mountain to have a look, she had never gone down the mountain except for the time when she went to Xujia Village to eliminate the demonic qi, and when she was in Lijia Village before, she was only familiar with the situation in the village and town, and she didn't know anything else.
"Aotian, you still hide in your sleeves, go to the auction with me to have a look, maybe there is something you like, and by the way, I will go to the world to choose two clothes for you." Hua Jianli said to Aotian, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, shaking his feet and eating the spirit fruit.
"Are there any elixirs and spirit stones?" Aotian raised his head and looked at the flowers, and then lowered his head and ate the fruit.
"Not only do you have pills and spirit stones, maybe you can get a better baby." Hanama stopped sorting things and smiled.
There are good things, and new clothes, worth it!
Aotian swallowed the spirit fruit in two mouthfuls, turned into white light, and slipped into the sleeve of the flower.
Clothes, Qiankun bags, and enough pills.
Qi is ready, Fang Cai has already resigned from the master, and the flower is separated from the burden and the sword on his back, and the sword goes down the mountain.
When Hua Jianli arrived at the gate of the mountain, he saw that Hou Yueming was also there, and said hello with a smile.
Qin Sizhu patted Hou Yueming's shoulder, "I called the little monkey too, and many people are safer." ”
Hanamali nodded, and the three of them flew down the mountain.
Huaxi Congress Ningcheng, the red sun is sinking in the west, the square is blooming all over the place, eight streets and nine mo, and people are boiling everywhere. Walking on the streets, the cars and horses are sparkling, the flow of people is like weaving, and not far away there is a faint penetrating shout of the vendors, and occasionally a long neighing of horses.
The streets are lined with shops, and the twilight of the sunset is faintly sprinkled on the red bricks and green tiles, adding a bit of hazy and poetic to the prosperous evening scene in front of you.
"Although this Huining City is not the royal capital, it is the most prosperous capital of Huaxi Country, where merchants are everywhere, and every inch of land is gold." Qin Sizhu pointed to a shop selling jewelry on the side of the street and said to the two people next to him, "Do you know how much money this store can make in a year?" ”
The two shook their heads, and Hou Yueming asked curiously, "How much?" ”
Qin Sizhu stretched out five fingers.
"Five hundred taels of silver?" Hou Yueming blurted out.
Qin Sizhu shook his index finger, "No, it's five hundred taels, gold!" ”
The two were shocked, so much!
"Six years ago, my father brought me here for half a year, so I know a lot about the store." Qin Sizhu explained.
"I almost forgot, the Sizhu family has been a medicine merchant for generations, and you must also have the potential to do business." Hanama said with a smile.
"Of course, if I hadn't awakened the spiritual root, I would have become a man of the hour among businessmen now, the richest man in Huaxi Country at a young age!" Qin Sizhu laughed.
"Let me see, who's daydreaming again?" Hou Yueming pretended to probe Qin Sizhu's forehead and wondered, "Don't you have a fever?" How did you start talking nonsense. ”
"Hou Yueming, are you underwhelming!" Qin Sizhu was about to roll up his sleeves and give Hou Yueming two punches, when he suddenly heard a sugar gourd seller shouting in front of him.
"Sell sugar gourds, sour and sweet sugar gourds, a string of three cents!"
Qin Sizhu's eyes lit up and he walked over quickly.
"Boss, bring me three strings."
"Okay."
Qin Sizhu took the sugar gourd and sent a bunch to Hua Jianli and Hou Yueming.
"I don't like sweetness, I'll give you both skewers." Hou Yueming handed the sugar gourd in his hand to Qin Sizhu again.
"That'...... Well, you're welcome. Qin Sizhu took the sugar gourd and ate it with relish.
A doting smile appeared on Hou Yueming's face.
It was getting late, and the three of them decided to find an inn to stay in and go to the auction tomorrow.
Dongli Inn, the three of them asked for two rooms, and when they went up the stairs, Hua Jianli heard the guests eating and drinking downstairs of the inn discuss.
"I heard that another bride has disappeared in the east of the city, and this is the third one this month."
"And I heard from my cousin on an errand in the yamen that the brides were all missing in the new house."
"Is it a flower thief? Which flower thief is so bold as to sneak into the new house and rob the bride in a grand manner. ”
"The yamen is still at a loss, and they don't even know what the person who robbed the bride looks like, alas, I hope there will not be another victim."
Hanama looked back and continued to walk upstairs.
The investigation of the case is a matter for the yamen, and it has nothing to do with them, the monks.
Early the next morning, the three of them went downstairs after washing, and Qin Sizhu ordered a few well-known local snacks.
Although the flowers have been separated from the valley, but when I saw the snacks with all the color and flavor, I couldn't help but take a bite of a thin skin bun, which was delicious and delicious!
A few plates of snacks were quickly swept away.
"The auction is held in the Leng Xiang Pavilion in the south of the city, and the auction in the Leng Xiang Pavilion is only held four times a month, but there are many rare items in the auction, so each auction is crowded and full." Qin Sizhu introduced as he led the two of them towards the east of the city.
From afar, I saw an extraordinary building, under the eaves of the door, Shi Danang stepped on the bucket three times, painted with golden dragons and seals. The glazed shadow wall on both sides of the door, the center of the wall and the corner are decorated with glazed flowers, the flower shape is natural and realistic, and the colors are gorgeous and gorgeous.
When I walked in, I saw a black plaque hanging above the gate, and the plaque had three big golden characters written on it - Leng Xiang Pavilion.
When you enter the lobby, the first thing that catches your eye is the rows of tall pillars, which are carved with exquisite patterns and patterns, which makes people marvel at the ingenuity and skill of the craftsmen.
A tall and thin middle-aged man saw the three of them walk in, and hurriedly greeted them enthusiastically, with a smile on his face, "Everyone, are you here to participate in the auction?" ”
"We're here to auction off the elixir." Flowers are separated from the road.
"In that case, please come with me." The man led the three to the door of a room and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and the three of them entered, and a man with a beard came up and asked, "What do you want to auction?" ”
Hua Jianli took out four bottles of pills from Qiankun's bag and handed them to the man.
"There are ten fifth-grade Huiling pills, twenty sixth-grade marrow cleansing pills, and ten sixth-grade essence nourishing pills."
The man was shocked, this girl looked so young, and she was able to take out so many pills.
The man opened the bottle and checked the quality and fineness of the pills, and these pills were all of the highest grade!
Putting away the pill, he said enthusiastically, "Since the girl chooses to auction it at my place, we will definitely give the girl the most satisfactory price, and the silver money won at the auction is three or seven cents, you are seven, and we are three, do you think this is appropriate?" ”
"Twenty-eight, we are eight, you two." Qin Sizhu compared one to two with his fingers, and said with a smile, "I believe you are also very aware of the preciousness of the elixir, how many people dream of becoming immortal cultivators, and how many cultivators need to break through the bottleneck, but there are very few alchemists, not to mention that our elixir is of high quality, and it will definitely be sold for a good price." If you are sincere, our elixirs will be auctioned here in the future. ”
The man thought for a moment and clapped his hands, "Okay, you can provide us with more pills in the future." ”
"That's natural, it's mutually beneficial." Qin Sizhu blinked, "Then it's decided, you look like a happy person." ”
Hua Jianli and Hou Yueming were both amazed by Qin Sizhu's bargaining methods.
"If we have an item we have a crush on, can we auction it off first, and then deduct it from the silver money obtained from the auction of the pill?" Hanama asked.
"Absolutely."
The man happily asked the little guy to bring the three of them to the VIP room, and a few people walked through the lobby to the auction site, and the little guy said respectfully, "Distinguished guests, your place is in the private room above. ”
The three of them followed the little guy up to the second floor.
