Chapter 16: Selling (2)
And the last thing the official family wants to be mastered by the wang clan is the handle.
Once someone from an official family is mastered by the children of the wang clan to buy and sell on the black market, won't he wait to hand over his handle to others?
If this young man is really an official, then the purpose of his coming here seems to have to be considered.
Just as he was thinking about it, the middle-aged man next to the young man in white whispered a word, and the guards beside him immediately loosened his standing posture, and he could no longer see the posture of a soldier.
However, this is even more indicative of the identities of these people.
Fang Ling whispered a few words to Shen Huantian again, and after about half a pillar of incense, the selling party began.
A middle-aged man with a good appearance came to the stage and said simply: "My name is Guo Xing, and I will preside over tonight's sale for all distinguished guests. ”
Everyone applauded Guo Xing's cheerfulness, and then saw the first item brought up, which was a high-grade rosewood box, and Fang Ling could see at a glance that this was not an ordinary rosewood box, but a bag cover.
The so-called capsule is a kind of wooden box customized to preserve items, these items can be as small as a wrench, as large as a porcelain jar, the box is made according to its shape, and placed in it tightly.
The value of the items can also be seen from the texture of the capsule, the ordinary stuff capsule is also made of ordinary cork, the slightly more expensive is used with mahogany or rosewood leftovers, and the more valuable is the whole material.
The bag in front of me is made of a whole material, its color is purple-black, the brown eyes are very dense, the annual ring pattern is like a stirred silk, with a calm and thick feeling, just such a box can be worth more than a dozen taels of silver, then the things in it can at least be worth the price of gold.
When Guo Xing opened the box, he saw that there was an uncarved piece of jade inside, which was as pure as mutton fat, as if wrapped in a layer of oil, delicate and crystalline, like condensation like fat.
Although it is a grade worse than the jade in the tomb of Emperor Xiaowu, it is already a good jade on the market.
Most of the people who can come to the store are people with a lot of money, and as soon as Meiyu came out, everyone whispered.
Guo Xing smiled slightly: "This is a beautiful jade seed material produced in the extreme north of the Tianshan Mountains in the north, its jade is not broken and disintegrated by the glacier, washed into the river and washed and eroded after tens of millions of years, its color is like fat, fine and glutinous, and the shape is natural, it is the top grade of jade." This jade was originally transported by the caravan to Cai Guo for sale, and was robbed halfway, I believe you should have heard of it, and its starting price is 5 taels of gold, and each increase in price shall not be less than 10 taels of silver. ”
As soon as the words fell, someone began to shout the price continuously, until 720 taels of silver were shouted, and Meiyu fell into the hands of a fat merchant. The things in this selling line are all paid with one hand and delivered with the other, and the price is shouted. When you leave, you can get the goods by handing in the silver ticket, which is very convenient.
The more than 700 taels of silver will be given to the selling house, that is, more than 140 taels, and the remaining more than 500 taels will be obtained by the seller, and the price of this piece of jade on the market is as high as 1,000 taels of silver.
