Volume 1 The Far West 51

"Why don't you prepare now, follow me to sign up! I can also show you around the city. Cheng Sanxiao was in a good mood and volunteered to lead the way.

"Then I'm going to bother my sister. Bai Jiao didn't refuse, these people had never been to Yihua City, and they really needed a guide, but they were still hungry, a little embarrassed, and glared back at Chen Jianyu.

Jian Chen hurriedly followed behind, not daring to speak.

"The area where we are now is the commercial district of Yihua City, where banks and some large inns, chambers of commerce, guilds, and auction houses are concentrated. Cheng San smiled and gushed to introduce the pattern of this Yihua City.

"Auction house, if you want to auction an object, what is the process?"

"The procedure for auctioning items is very simple, first is the valuation, and then the escrow auction, if it is an extremely sought-after object, such as blood zhilian lotus seeds, the auction house may give priority to the auction for free to attract customers. If it is some luxury goods and handicrafts with large value and difficult to sell for a while, the auction house will generally charge a certain percentage of the commission and storage fee after the auction is successful. Cheng Sanxiao heard that Bai Jiao only cared about the auction house, and couldn't help asking, "Does my sister have something good to auction?"

"Well, there are several elixirs used to heal wounds, repair scars, and beautify them. Any trauma is 100% scar-free, and the treatment is very fast! "I don't need too much gold dollars in my daily life, it's enough to sell a few muscle-building pills.

"And this kind of elixir, people in the martial arts will inevitably have a few scars, and those female martial arts masters are not bad for money, I estimate that this elixir will be very sought-after!" Cheng Sanxiao's eyes seemed to emit some light, and he said with some interest, "What is the price of this Muscle Pill?"

"Three pieces for a package, 10,000 gold yuan, I don't know what the price is. Three- to five-inch scars can be applied directly externally, and if it is a very serious trauma, it can be combined with internal and external application. Although Mo Qingxia once said that the three Muscle Pills were worth 10,000 gold yuan, Bai Jiao still didn't know how much it was worth.

"The auction is usually scheduled at two o'clock in the afternoon, let's go to the registration office of the Nova Competition just to pass by, you can go to estimate the value first, this elixir is special, and it is close to the Nova Competition, maybe the auction will be given priority in the afternoon!"

Walking all the way towards the registration office, several people talked and laughed with each other, and halfway through, Cheng Sanxiao finally couldn't help it, and asked, "How many pills are there?" Can you sell me a few first?"

Bai Jiao smiled slightly, she had already seen the thoughts of the third lady of the Cheng family, so she asked, "How big is the scar?"

Cheng San smiled and looked left and right, deliberately pulled Bai Jiao to take a few steps, avoided Chen Jianjiao, leaned to his ear, and whispered: "Three-inch scars, four." ”

Chen Jian pursed his lips in a hurry, and suddenly felt a little disgusted that his ears had become so good at hearing, so he muttered: "Four three-inch scars, just like how much others want to hear." ”

Bai Qing and Bai Yan covered their mouths and chuckled when they saw this, and saw that the two people in front of them had returned to the team again, and hurriedly returned to normal.

Cheng Sanxiao was holding a small porcelain bottle in his hand, for fear of losing it. Naturally, Bai Jiao gave three for free, even if it was a reward for letting Sister Sanxiao lead the way.

Probably due to the influence of the Rising Star Competition, the square in front of the auction house is very crowded, with all kinds of vendors, carriages and horses, and even beggars gathering, and people come and go endlessly. There was a long queue at the entrance of the auction house.

Looking at the long queue there three circles away, Bai Jiao's face turned gloomy, and said, "It's better to come early tomorrow morning, this line is too long, I don't know when it will be queued." ”

"Haha, the auction house is like this, this valuation is free, so many people are specially to value, but there are very few who can really go to the later auction link, some things, even if the customer wants to sell, the auction house may not be willing to accept it. Cheng Sanxiao seemed to be very familiar with this auction house, pulled Bai Jiao, and walked through the auction channel.

"I have the VIP card here. Cheng Sanxiao said lightly, but those unrelated people who came to see that the three smiling sisters were far away and avoided it, it seems that this woman has not harmed the good people in this auction house in the past.

"In terms of efficacy, this is the most sought-after elixir at the moment. However, this elixir has never been seen before, so it is difficult to win people's trust. Tentatively valued at a thousand gold dollars. A group of three pieces is auctioned at the same time, with a starting price of 2,500 gold. Priority auctions can be held at 2 p.m., and a 5% commission is charged. "The appraisal given by the appraiser in the auction hall was quite reasonable, although it did not meet Mo Qingxia's offer, but it also exceeded Bai Jiao's expectations.

"Okay, let's auction a group in the afternoon. "I was so short of money, when I heard that I could give priority to the auction, Bai Jiao didn't hesitate, as for how much she could sell, she couldn't care too much, she could sell as much as she could. Even if it's a few hundred gold, dozens of gold.

There was still a lot of time until two o'clock in the afternoon, and Cheng Sanxiao suggested that he should register first and then come back to watch the auction.

Coming out of the auction house, there were always a few beggars who fell behind Chen Jianhur all the way, and they could have been sent away with a few dollars, but Chen Jianhur had no money.

And Cheng Sanxiao seems to be born immune to beggars, and after walking all the way, no one dares to move forward.

Chen Jian was a little curious, "Why don't these beggars follow the two of you?"

"How dare they!" Cheng Sanxiao seemed to be very disgusted by these beggars.

"Huh?" Chen Jian hurriedly ran out of money, and looked back at those beggars, all of whom were fat and strong. I wondered in my heart: "Obviously Cheng Xuan looks richer, right?"

"The registration office is right in front, and that's the City Lord's Mansion, the core of the entire city. Cheng Sanxiao pointed forward, the building of the City Lord's Mansion is a bit old, and it doesn't look luxurious, but from a distance from the outside, it covers a wide area.

And the registration office that Cheng San said with a smile is on the west side of the City Lord's Mansion, which looks like a courtyard, and there is a huge banner hanging on the courtyard door, with three big characters on the registration office. Although the banner is very wide, it does not match the courtyard very well, and it is hung temporarily. Although the Rising Star Contest can be said to be an extremely rare event in Qizhou, Yihua City doesn't seem to want to spend too much money.

"After the city lord's mansion, further east, is the area of the east of the city, where it is relatively quiet and tidy, and there are many big families, rich families, and big families. Naturally, our Cheng family's clan land is also in the east of the city. I have time to take you around, the Cheng family's territory is not smaller than the City Lord's Mansion!" Cheng San smiled a little ostentatiously at Chen Jian, who was looking at the City Lord's Mansion in a daze, thinking that he was shocking the area of the City Lord's Mansion.

Chen Jian hurriedly let out an absent-minded hum, but he still looked at the City Lord's Mansion, some of the corners and corners of this architectural style were somewhat similar to the Chen family, and when he thought of the family, his mood was a little low.

Bai Jiao hurriedly came over and asked softly, "Xiao Jiao, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, let's go, go sign up. ”

The entrance to the registration office is sparsely populated, and it seems that there are not many people, at least there are many fewer people than outside the auction house.

Seeing the doubts of several people, Cheng San smiled and pointed to the door, "Let's go in." ”

"Wow, it doesn't look like it looks like here, why are there so many people inside?" Bai Qing exclaimed, the compound of the registration office is very large, the size of three or five football fields, and there are many people inside, surrounding the door of a row of houses directly north of the compound, but no one is queuing, from time to time I hear the amplified voice "No. 2231, No. 2232......" and then I saw some people with a stack of paper plates walking in.

"Generally, there are very few poor people who sign up for the competition, and those who have money have no way out, and they don't want to work hard to queue up, so they often spend money to hire people to queue up to get numbers. So some of the more flexible minds started the business of reselling license plates, those who have money are also happy to be idle, before signing up, Pai Jia Ding can directly spend money to buy a number. After a long time, he was given a name and called a cow. Therefore, there are three types of people queuing up at this scene, Tiao Niu, Jiading, and Poor Loose Cultivator. A number is not cheap, it has to have two or three gold dollars!"

As he spoke, he introduced Bai Jiao and the others into a very luxurious room.

According to Cheng Sanxiao, the accuracy rate of this instrument is as high as 99.99%, unless the instrument fails, the measured bone age must be no problem, and it can be accurate to the day.

Soon, Bai Jiao and Chen Jian hurriedly knew why there was still a profession like a cow in a competition registration, because the speed of this instrument was too slow, and they really had to queue up, and they didn't know how long they had to wait.

Bai Jiao first stretched out her arm and lasted on the instrument for about ten minutes before the inspector came up with the data of 6320~17, indicating that Bai Jiao was born 6320 days ago and is seventeen years old this year, which is very accurate.

Bai Qing and Bai Yan felt funny when they saw this instrument, and they stepped forward to detect their birth days.

White Swallow: 4035~11

White green: 4845~13

When he arrived at Chen Jianhur, he looked at Bai Jiao with some hesitation, afraid that the other party would say that he hadn't grown up, and sighed in his heart: "Why didn't you give birth two years early!"

The young man in front of him was going to compete, and ten minutes later, the inspector carefully checked the data again, rubbed his eyes, and hurriedly said to Chen Jian: "The equipment is faulty, retest." ”

Chen Jian hurriedly stretched out his arm again, and after a long time. The inspector froze, and after a while, continued: "There is a problem with the equipment, you can go out and sit down first, and then come in later." ”

After Chen Jian hurriedly went out, the inspector hurriedly left through the back door...

Half an hour passed, and an elderly man in his fifties walked in.

Cheng Sanxiao's face tightened, and then he said impatiently: "Say, how much will you be fined?"

Bai Jiao Chen Jian hurriedly looked at Cheng San with a little strange smile, and then looked at the old man, fine?

The old man smiled slightly: "Make a big fuss at the Qixin Inn, break the rules, and be fined 1,000 gold yuan." ”

Cheng San stood up angrily with a smile: "You old thing, a thousand gold yuan, you might as well grab it, this is my expenses for a whole month!" After losing his temper, he sat back and waved his hand outward, "Okay! Okay! Okay! I will turn you around in a while, let's go quickly! I'm annoyed to see you." ”

Bai Jiao and Chen Jian hurriedly looked at Cheng San in horror and smiled, a thousand gold yuan, a month's expenses, this sounds more extravagant than Lin Shuyun!

The old man continued to smile and did not leave, but continued to walk into the testing room, "Little friend Maqiao, please come in!"

Bai Jiao and Cheng San looked at Chen Jianjian with a little strange smile, "Do you know this old man?"

Jian Chen shook his head hurriedly, and then walked towards the testing room.

There is only one old man in the testing room, holding a set of data in his hand: 4689~12.

"Little friends are going to participate in the Rising Star Competition?"

"Yes!"

"Why do you want to attend?"

"Oh, I want that pair of gloves and weapons for Sister Jiaojiao. ”

"The girl out there?"

"Yes"

"Do you know the rules of this Nova game?"

"Under twenty years old. ”

"The age will be announced in the competition information. ”

"This?"

"There was a problem with this instrument just now, so I measured this number, put it away, don't forget. Find time to go to the City Lord's Mansion and sit down. ”

"Oh, good!"

Chen Jianhur walked out with a note in his hand, which read: 5959~16.

Cheng Sanxiao asked Bai Jiao, "He is sixteen or second?"

Bai Jiao was a little surprised when she saw the note, and it seemed that she could have a lot less extra worries, but then she thought about it, and looked at Chen Jianhur with some uncertainty, and then nodded: "Well, sixteen, in the second grade." ”

"Smack!" Cheng San smiled and fell on the chair, and said with some frustration, "You two, this is going to heaven!"

Bai Jiao blinked her eyes and did not speak.
