Volume 1 The Land of the Far West 54, the effect of steamed buns
At the end of the auction, after deducting the 5% handling fee and the cost of the Qingfeng Jue, there were 94,000 gold dollars left. Bai Jiao and the others can be said to have returned with a full load and rejoiced.
Chen Jian hurriedly shouted involuntarily: "It's gone!"
Cheng San laughed with contempt: "It's only a few dollars?
The poor never understand the logic of the rich, but the rich do not necessarily fully understand the minds of the poor.
Bai Jiao said in her heart, the Snow Lotus Muscle Pill has already been sold at this price, so what will be the point of the Qi Pill? Do you want to auction a Qi Pill?
More than 90,000 gold dollars were personally sent by the beautiful auctioneer, and it can be seen that today's auction has brought her a lot of income.
"My name is Zhu Yun! In the future, you can come directly to me for any objects in the auction, and the handling fee will be discounted by 20%, and the handling fee will be discounted by 20%!" This charming girl instantly became ill with an occupational disease.
"Good! good!" Bai Jiao was excited, and agreed repeatedly, looking at the beauty in front of her more and more pleasing to the eye, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with being a profiteer.
In addition to the auction proceeds, Zhu Yun also sent a card with the color of local tyrant gold, "This is the VIP card of our auction house, with this card, there is no need to queue up in and out of the auction house, the lot is valued first, and you can also freely enter and exit the intermediate and high-level auction halls, and the handling fee of the auction items is 85% off." The price I gave was even lower than the VIP card!"
The starting price of the auction items in the intermediate auction hall of the auction house is more than 10,000 gold yuan, and the starting price of the auction items in the senior hall is more than 100,000 gold yuan.
After greeting Bai Jiao and Chen Jianhur, Zhu Yun smiled at Cheng San and said, "Sister Cheng is good! It sounds very familiar with Cheng Sanxiao.
"Cut!" Sister Sanxiao said disdainfully: "You know how to make your sister's money, why don't you find some cheap and good things for your sister?"
I didn't see Zhu Yun blushing, and said with a very direct smile: "You are different from me, not bad for money!, but today I still want to thank my sister and you, I have been promoted to a senior auctioneer!"
Zhu Yun continued with some excitement: "Tomorrow I will host a high-level show for the first time, and it is said that there is a very expensive luxury, but it is easy to fail the auction, so I have to prepare in advance. Don't bother yet, goodbye!"
Coming out of the auction house, it was already approaching evening, several people were in a good mood, and Cheng Sanxiao had no intention of leaving.
"Childe, why don't you go to the steamed bun building to eat steamed buns!" Bai Yan kept thinking about the steamed buns.
Now that the blunt sword on Jian Chen's back has finally been replaced, the simple and atmospheric sword makes him feel extremely happy, so he pandered: "Okay, let's go to the steamed bun building to eat steamed buns." β
"You have to eat the buns in the bun building for a while, it is rumored that the venison bun is extremely good for the cultivation of internal strength, I have grown from a snack to a big one. β
"Is it good for internal force cultivation?" Bai Jiaoqi said, "No wonder it's so expensive! Could it be that today's breakthrough is because of that bun?"
"It's only once that it's so obvious, and you need to eat it for a long time. If it is really that effective, this bun will be eaten for tens of thousands of gold. Cheng Sanxiao continued, "But it's also strange, after eating this bun for a few years, you can still enter it even if your talent is worse than your twenties, so that bun building has been sought after by the wealthy families of the big clan for thousands of years, and the business is very hot." β
"Really, how long does it take to eat?" Bai Qing exclaimed, although Bai Qing and Bai Yan also knew some fists and kicks, they didn't even have internal strength. The tribe used to have limited conditions and did not have much resources to train the younger generations, resulting in many children missing the best age to learn martial arts.
"If you can, you can eat two every three days, and most of them will last for ten or eight years, right? Anyway, I have been eating since I was four or five years old. I have been eating until fifteen or sixteen, and I am a little tired of eating crookedly. Cheng San recalled lightly.
After Bai Jiao pondered for a while, she said very firmly: "Since this is the case, then let's also have a venison bun every three days, regardless of whether it is useful or not, let's eat it." "Nouveau riche, what they say is always so rich.
There were many more beggars in the square outside the auction house than in other places, and they hurried towards Chen Jian.
The strange thing is that on the periphery of the extremely popular wine and meat place like Baozilou, there is not even a shadow of a beggar.
After asking Cheng Sanxiao, I learned that a hundred years ago, the second sect of Qizhou, the Beggar's Sect, had a huge conflict with the Liuyun Sect, which ranked third.
At that time, the beggar sect issued a beggar summoning order, and the beggars from the east, west, north and south gathered like ants and mantis, competing with the two powerhouses of the Liuyun Sect, and the blood flowed like a river, which was extremely tragic, and it also caused the forces of other states to covet Qizhou.
Later, the Seven Emotions Sect, which was far away from Hongchen, came forward to mediate the dispute between the two sides in the name of the Yihua City City Lord's Mansion, and no one knew what the specific process was, only that an agreement was finally reached.
The content of this agreement later became a tacit rule by all strata in Jizhou: no force or individual in Jizhou was allowed to interfere with the begging behavior of beggars, and all beggars were not allowed to set foot in any business or private places without permission when begging; and what was even more strange was that the contract specifically stated that beggars were not allowed to beg within 100 meters of the faΓ§ade of food and lodging.
The reason why there are such strange clauses, there is gossip circulating, and the reason for that bloody conflict is that the elders of the Beggar Sect interfered with the meals of the female disciples of the Liuyun Sect when they were begging.
Although the special rule seems to be very unfair to the beggars, it has unusually won the absolute support of inns, restaurants, and even all walks of life in Qizhou, including the common people, and no one is willing to fight for the beggars.
The beggar sect, who had tried to overthrow that rule many times, was forced to eat coptis dumbly, and strictly ordered the beggar sect to stay away from places such as food, lodging and restaurants.
Since then, Baozilou has become a die-hard fan of the Liuyun Sect, and all the disciples of the Liuyun Sect will enter the Baozilou at half price. Other inns and restaurants followed suit, and the Liuyun Sect grew stronger and stronger, surpassing the Beggar Sect to sit firmly on the throne of the second largest sect in Qizhou.
However, there are so many beggars in the world, although the beggar sect is the third largest sect in Qizhou, it has an unshakable position in the entire extreme west, and no one dares to provoke it outside the rules.
Chen Jianjian of Baozilou has already been here once, but he doesn't think so. But Bai Qing and Bai Yan were very surprised by the extreme old inside and outside of the bun building, looking left and right, and said to themselves: "Why is this bun building so picky? It seems that you can't use a few buns to decorate the whole building, right?"
Some of the customers in the lobby shook their heads and chuckled, but both of them were children, and no one thought there was anything wrong.
The enthusiastic guy Zhang Jiu saw Cheng Sanxiao and people coming in, and sweat drops instantly popped up on his forehead, but he still lowered his head helplessly, and barely made up some smiling faces: "Yo! Miss Cheng Jia, please inside! Please inside!"
Xu felt that he might inevitably be beaten up today, and the voice he shouted out was a little trembling and changed his timbre.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Sanxiao didn't look at him from beginning to end, and walked upstairs with Bai Jiao.
Those who came down from the upstairs were either rich or expensive, and when they saw Sister Sanxiao, they quickly pulled aside and gave way without any hesitation, not daring to have even the slightest bit of toughness.
Jian Chen hurriedly came to Zhang Jiu's side and asked softly, "Has this Cheng family always been so domineering?"
Zhang Jiuzheng was glad that Cheng Sanxiao had let him go and avoided a disaster, when he suddenly heard a voice, "Ah!" and was startled. When I opened my eyes, it turned out to be the little brother who caused trouble yesterday, so I quickly pulled away and said: "Little brother, you have to hide quickly, the Cheng family is not very domineering, just protecting the shortcomings." However, the aunt and grandmother who just went upstairs really can't be provoked, and the city lord has to retreat. Wait for an accident to happen, the shopkeeper's four pinnacles are not daring to come out, you hurry, take a few buns and open it! The shopkeeper said, you will eat buns in the future, no money. β
"Protecting the short, it seems to be similar to the meaning of Bahu, right? Well, it's still a little different!" Jian Chen hurriedly struggled for a while, then took the bun and said with a smile: "Thank you for the bun! But I'll give you the money." β
Seeing that Chen Jian hurriedly walked directly upstairs, Zhang Jiu was shocked: "Little brother, no, no." Once you go up, you can't die and you have to peel off your skin. Then Cheng Mian is also on it!"
Chen Jian hurriedly said: "Cheng Mian, didn't you say that you were injured and bedridden?"
"It doesn't look like the spirit is really good today, it is estimated that the Cheng family has some panacea, right? If the little brother is dine-in, it is better to go directly to the back hall, and the shopkeeper also wants to get to know the little brother!" Zhang Jiu said as he pulled Chen Jian to the back hall in a hurry.
Chen Jian hurriedly politely excused himself: "Next time! Next time! Don't worry, I'm here with Sister Sanxiao, it's okay!"
"Sister Sanxiao, are you coming together?" Zhang Jiu was a little confused, and when he looked back, Chen Jian hurriedly ran towards the second floor, so he continued to shout: "If there is something wrong with the little brother, hurry up and say hello!"
Zhang Jiu pondered slightly, but he was still worried about the situation upstairs, so he hurriedly ran to the inner hall.
"I don't know where that blunt sword kid is, it's shameful to take advantage of Brother Cheng's unpreparedness to sneak attack! Don't let me touch him, otherwise I will definitely help Brother Cheng avenge this arrow!"
As soon as Chen Jian hurriedly went up to the second floor, he heard an extremely indignant voice coming from a private room in the passage in front of him, and he was a little curious, so he involuntarily leaned towards the private room.
Although the tone of the speaker was full of righteous indignation, the content between the lines would definitely make Cheng Mian unable to get off the stage, after all, it is not a glorious thing to be beaten and injured head-on.
However, the arrogant Cheng Mian actually said politely: "It's just a yellow-haired boy, he can't get on the stage, why do you need Brother Zhu to take action personally!"
At this time, Bai Qing happened to come out of one of the rooms and shouted, "Childe, what are you doing sneaky? Hurry up, everyone... Ah, are you going to get the buns first? Bai Qing snatched the bun very naturally, took out one and nibbled it, and sideways and used his shoulder to push Chen Jian into the private room next to him.
