Chapter 275: A New Medicinal Wine Plan

As time passed, the auction hall gradually filled up with people. Yi Xifeng found a relatively hidden corner and sat down, while the old man sat on the Taishi chair in the front row.

After all, on behalf of Ji Rentu to participate in the auction, even if he didn't buy anything, the auction house had to show due respect. But that's just the meaning, after all, this old man is also a housekeeper, and he didn't arrange for him to go to the private room on the second floor, of course, if his master comes, he has that qualification.

Soon a scantily clad woman appeared in this large auction hall, aged about thirty, and her appearance could only be regarded as middle-to-upper, but since she took the stage to salute, everyone in the audience followed quietly.

The rules of this auction house are slightly different from the auctions that Yi Xifeng knew in his previous life. There are two types of open and dark shots.

Before coming here, the white young man had specifically asked Zhang Yanyan and others for advice, after all, the heroic young man was a few years older than them, and he had traveled with the caravan since he was a child, and he had been to several surrounding countries, and he had also studied this auction a little.

The so-called open auction means that the holder and the auction house negotiate a share in advance, and the auction house is responsible for all other operational and promotional matters except for ownership. As for the process of the auction, it is not much different from the auction that Yi Xifeng knew in his previous life.

Only the things that are photographed will not be unsold. If no one participates in the bidding, the holder can choose to sell the item to the auction house, and the price is negotiated between the holder and the auction house, and it will generally be sold at a price higher than the auction reserve.

Yi Xifeng sighed in his heart, this method is also an invisible advertisement of the value of the auction items. Tell everyone who is bidding, even if you don't know if it's worth a lot of money, we at the auction house will approve it.

Another auction method, on the contrary, is the secret auction.

The value of anything that is auctioned is generally recognized, or it has been seen by a professional treasure connoisseur at the auction house. But covert shots are the opposite, these things are either of unknown origin, or the use is particularly strange, and most of them are not visible.

That's right, just listening to the introducer tell the information, more or less with some symbolic things instead. So the value in it will vary greatly.

It is this uncertainty that has become a favorite of those who like to shop at auctions. People are greedy, and they always hope to exchange the least price for a far higher benefit, which is called picking up leaks.

And the existence of dark shooting caters to this trend.

......

The boldly dressed woman first gave a blessing to the audience on the stage, and then said with a smile: "Thank you seniors for coming to our deciduous auction house! ”

After all, Fallen Leaf City is one of the trade hubs of the entire Luoyun Kingdom, and the annual profits of this auction house are the main part of the financial revenue of the entire Fallen Leaf City, even exceeding the taxes within its jurisdiction.

And this Sihai Pavilion is a subordinate force of the Fallen Leaf Auction House, and the entire Fallen Leaf Auction House is divided into "three pavilions and one hall", which are the Four Seas Pavilion, the Xuanbing Pavilion, the Tianji Pavilion, and the Sifang Palace.

These three pavilions and one hall occupy an auction venue respectively, and each auction is held at the same time, which is very lively!

Of course, the four forces seem to compete with each other, but in fact they are all under the control of Ji Shenfu, but their division of labor is different.

The three pavilions in the three pavilions and one hall are mainly photographed darkly, while the square hall is photographed openly. It can also be seen from this that people love dark shooting.

And in the three pavilions, which mainly carry out secret shooting, there is also a division of labor.

The Four Seas Pavilion mainly auctions some rare treasures, or things of unknown use. As for the price, it is also quite different, it may be worthless in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of those who need it, it is indeed a rare fragrant bait.

Xuanbing Pavilion mainly auctions weapons and armor, but since it is a secret auction, the actual quality of things is only known to those who know how to do it.

Tianji Pavilion is a relatively special auction house, and most of the auctions here are the secret books of the exercises that have been circulated on the rivers and lakes, some of which have been passed down from the martial arts family, and some have been obtained from the secret realm. There is also the auction of intelligence information between some forces.

As the last hall, the Sifang Hall is the world of open shooting, and everything that needs to be photographed is a good thing, or the value is fair. But correspondingly, there is almost no chance of picking up the slack. Therefore, some high-end goods are auctioned in the Sifang Palace.

It can be seen from this that the deciduous auction house is very precise in the diversion of bidders, which not only takes into account the needs of the public, but also satisfies the auction efficiency of the elite level.

And this woman calls herself the treasure collector of the Four Seas Pavilion, which is actually a kind of elegant name for an auctioneer like her, the treasure collector is the auctioneer, and the doctor is the treasure collector.

......

"So let's not talk much, the first treasure we brought to you today is a kind of natural treasure. It's a hermit offering, secretly shooting!" said the woman, picking up something from a maid's tray, and it turned out to be a vine.

The connoisseur took the vine, held it up for a look, and put it back in the tray. The maid with the tray served the tray and walked among the bidders in the audience.

The maid did not pass to the private room upstairs, presumably with a small vine in their respective rooms.

"This is the vine of the heavenly treasure, you will listen to the explanation as you look at it. This thing is shaped like a pair of fists, purple skin and yellow fruit, seedless and core, sweet taste, and has the effect of awakening the mind!"

The woman on the stage talked eloquently, talking about the efficacy of this heavenly treasure, during which a few people stopped the maid, picked up the vine and looked at it, but there were not many people who really bid.

However, the white young man sitting in the corner held back the excitement in his heart, took the vine handed by the maid lightly, looked at it a few times, and then took it under his nose and sniffed it.

Looking at that posture, if it weren't for the people around him watching, this young man would probably bite it in his mouth......

However, the maid on the side did not urge, this kind of auction hall, the longer the time passed below, the more detailed the above introduction, and the more intense the bidding will be.

Yi Xifeng reluctantly put the vine back on the tray, and he was sure in his heart that this thing was what he was determined to get!

That's right, the first treasure in this auction is a nourishing fruit!

This fruit is a rare medicinal material, in fact, four years ago, Yi Xifeng wanted to get one, but unfortunately he couldn't do it with his financial resources and connections at that time. I had to settle for the next best thing and replace the nourishing fruit with Zhu Guo.

As a result, the formula of "Suxin Wine" was configured, and of course, it was also this Suxin Wine that made the Baijing boy get acquainted with Li Chengtao, and because of the cooperation, the other party agreed to teach him swordsmanship.

Of course, the original of this, plain wine is only a small inducement, but it is undeniable that plain wine helps Yi Xifeng.

After three years of penance, the young man's medicinal and wine cultivation plan was also successfully implemented, and his Qingxin Wine House gradually got on the right track, allowing him to initially achieve financial freedom.

However, even so, he has been inquiring about the whereabouts of this Divine Cultivation Fruit all these years, but unfortunately there has been no news.

It's just that Yi Xifeng never expected that he would meet here today.

Anyway, it must be obtained! This is a matter of whether the new medicinal liquor plan can be implemented!

The white boy secretly made up his mind, and then quickly placed a chip on the maid's tray.

This is the so-called pressure chip, which represents the initial price in the buyer's mind.

Soon the first round of chips will be counted, and the people in the auction house will count these chips and calculate an average price, which is the reserve price of the item.

"Something that warms and nourishes the soul is rare, this thing has the effect of awakening the mind and nourishing the spirit, for martial arts cultivators, it is a rare good thing when breaking through!

Yi Xifeng squinted his eyes and listened to this woman working blindly on stage, I have to say that these professional treasure connoisseurs are really powerful, originally a relatively niche herb, after she said so, it became the best choice for gifts!

But he hopes that the other party can shut up, if it really arouses the mind of any big guy and wants to give it to his grandson to replenish his brain, then it will be cool for Yi Xifeng.

The efficiency of the Sihai Pavilion is still very high, and in less than half a cup of tea, the reserve price of this Divine Fruit will come out.

"I really didn't expect that the reserve price of this heavenly treasure would be so low! I really bought it to earn it! It was only five hundred taels!" the woman said with a violent expression.

Yi Xifeng's hanging heart eased slightly, he had just quoted six hundred taels, and at this time, the reserve price came out, which was lower than his own offer, indicating that there would not be many people competing with him. After all, there are not many people who bid higher than themselves.

The scantily clad woman smiled charmingly and said loudly: "Then I announce that our No. 1 auction item will start bidding." ”

Yi Xifeng didn't shout at first, he wanted to see the situation of his opponent.

"Five hundred and ten taels!" said an old man with his hand raised.

It looks like a pharmacy shopkeeper, after all, this kind of medicinal material, even if it is blown out of the elixir by Jianbao Yashi, people who really want to buy it must use it.

"Five hundred and thirty taels!" said another woman.

The woman who shouted the price looked to be in her fifties, and she had a kind face, and she didn't know what she wanted for this divine fruit.

"Five hundred and fifty taels!"

......

Gradually, the price has approached the psychological price quoted by Yi Xifeng before.

"Six hundred and twenty taels!" said the old man who looked like the shopkeeper of the pharmacy.

Until this time, most of the bidders had given up bidding with each other, after all, although the Divine Cultivation Fruit was good, the actual value was only about six hundred taels, and at this time it was close to six hundred and fifty, which was obviously beyond most people's budgets.

Seeing that the number of bidders was gradually decreasing, Yi Xifeng was determined and planned to bid for it after a while.

In the gap of the white boy's thoughts, a person in the crowd suddenly said in a deep voice:

"I'll give you a thousand taels!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, not that people were amazed by the huge amount of money of this thousand taels. In fact, more than eighty percent of the people present were able to come up with this money. But if they were to come up with a thousand taels to buy an herb, they would definitely ...... Desperately resisted.

Yi Xifeng turned his head to look behind him with a gloomy face, and less than ten zhang away from his side, a young man raised his hand, which was the thousand taels he had just called.

However, to the surprise of the white young man, this person he still knew, and it was the shopkeeper of the Jianghu tavern where they lived. He still remembered that this person's surname was Zhang.

At the same time, Yi Xifeng also instantly understood why the other party wanted to spend a lot of money to buy this Divine Fruit, and the answer was about to come out, and it was surprisingly similar to the young man's own reasons!

Winemaking.

That's right, the shopkeeper of the Jianghu Tavern is just for winemaking, and it is also the "sobering wine" of the thousand taels and one jar!

The reason why the white boy remembers this wine so vividly is mainly because of the price.

Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but secretly scold the profiteer, this fruit can at least brew a large urn of wine, but he costs a thousand taels for a jar, which shows the cunning of this shopkeeper surnamed Zhang.

The room suddenly became a little deserted, after all, it was from more than six hundred taels to one thousand taels, and the old man and woman who had been bidding before couldn't help frowning.

To tell the truth, although the real price of this Divine Fruit is only about six hundred taels, because it has a price, it is not a loss to win seven hundred taels before. This is also the root of careful bidding between women and old men.

It's a pity that Cheng bit gold halfway, and the tavern shopkeeper fell out of a thousand taels very willfully, which made everyone present instantly lose interest in continuing to increase.

"Sure enough, the eyes of the masses are bright, and someone finally discovers the true value of the No. 1 auction item! So, one thousand taels and one time?"

Treasure asked playfully.

Seeing that everyone in the audience was silent, the woman continued: "Sure enough, the truth is in the hands of a few, a thousand taels and two times. ”

Speaking of this, this treasure connoisseur sighed a little helplessly.

After another moment, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth, just like her girlfriend who had just been coaxed, she was still crying a second ago, and when she saw the delicious food you bought her, she gradually turned from sadness to joy.

"Then we have to congratulate this friend with vision and financial resources......"

She didn't wait for the treasure to finish, nor did she wait for the hammer in her hand to fall.

"Two thousand taels!"

A faint voice came from the audience, and everyone turned their eyes to the young man sitting in the corner.

"Oh my God, two thousand taels! This person is okay, right?"

"I think it's just a dirt bun who doesn't understand anything!"

"Why can't we capture the happiness of the rich now?"

......

The originally silent scene in the audience exploded in an instant. Even the woman who was standing on the stage and was about to drop the hammer didn't react for a while, and looked at Yi Xifeng who was dressed as a horse thief in a daze.

However, after all, this treasure connoisseur is a person who has seen the world, and after smiling slightly, he continued: "There are some things, only when you buy them, you can realize its importance!"

Saying that, she threw a wink like Yi Xifeng in the distance.

"Two thousand taels, the first time!"
