Chapter 32: Black Stone Chips

With the opening of the auction house, many people are coming to the auction house.

During the time when Zhou Chen and Long Mu were communicating, the entire auction hall was full of people, and the circular seats, from low to high, were already filled.

At this moment, the lights of the auction room suddenly turned on, and then all the lights converged on the auction table.

Seeing this, everyone focused their eyes on the auction table, and at this moment, the auction was about to begin.

I saw a woman wearing a white cheongsam walking up to the auction table with light steps.

"Welcome to our central auction room. Every week, the auction welcomes the support of all bidders, and on behalf of the auction house, I would like to welcome you to all of you. I'm the auctioneer. ”

I just saw that he smiled slightly at the people in the field, and spoke, in a friendly tone.

After the female auctioneer finished speaking, she saw that everyone present applauded in response, and the atmosphere in the venue instantly became lively.

Then, I heard the female auctioneer speak: "Now I announce! This auction has officially begun, and now we will invite our first lot!"

Hearing that the auction had begun, everyone in the venue unconsciously showed a hint of expectation on their faces, not knowing what good things would appear in this auction.

Zhou Chen's eyes also fell on the auction table, not knowing if he could encounter good exercises.

The auctioneer's voice fell, and I saw a tray being sent up, and the contents on the tray were covered by a red cloth, so it was impossible to see what the lot was.

At this time, the auctioneer's voice sounded again: "Here is the first lot we are going to buy, which is a purple wood fruit that is more than 30 years old." ”

As he spoke, the red cloth of the tray had been lifted, and when everyone looked at it, they saw a purple fruit placed in the tray.

"As we all know, purple wood fruit is one of the best supplements, which has the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life, so the starting price is thirty gold coins!" the auctioneer said loudly as he looked around at everyone in the room.

Looking at the purple wood fruit that was placed on the stage, someone soon began to bid.

Zhou Chen's gaze also fell on the purple wood fruit at this moment, there was no wave in his eyes, although the value of the purple wood fruit was very high, but Zhou Chen was not interested, he was only thinking about buying an exercise now.

The purple wood fruit was soon auctioned for fifty gold coins.

A large part of the people who come here to bid are ordinary businessmen, and some things that strengthen the body and prolong life are their favorites.

The second lot is a 50-year-old Wood Spirit Flower, which has a similar effect to Purple Wood Fruit, which has the effect of removing impurities from the body and improving the body's resistance.

The starting price of the Wood Spirit Flower was fifty gold coins, and the final price was eighty-one gold coins.

Zhou Chen was still not interested, because these things were available in the cottage, but the year was a little short.

On the auction table, the auctioneer continued to auction, and auctioned several lots in a row, most of them were some herbs, which did not interest Zhou Chen, and the most important thing in their cottage was herbs.

Until all the lots are auctioned, there is still no auction of the exercises, which can't help but disappoint Zhou Chen, it seems that this time the luck is a little bad!

The auction is divided into two stages, the open auction and the gambling auction, with 10 lots in each stage.

Open auction, with a clear commodity auction, know the value of the auctioned goods. Gambling auction is to auction goods of unknown value, the value is low and high, and the true value of the commodity cannot be fully known, and it contains a certain gambling component.

I don't know if there will be anything good in this gambling auction. Zhou Chen looked forward to it in his heart.

Among the ten lots auctioned in Ming, there were eight herbs and two were martial arts, all of which were things that Zhou Chen did not need.

"After all the lots in the open auction are completed, we will move on to the auction stage. The auctioneer said: "Gambling auction is the auction of some lots that may have hidden value, and there is a certain risk, so I remind you that you must consider carefully when bidding, and the rules of our auction house stipulate that once all goods are sold, regardless of the goods, we are not responsible." ”

It was not the first time that everyone present had come to the auction hall, and they were all aware of the rules for gambling in the auction hall.

Soon, the auction began, and the first lot was a yellowed piece of paper.

I only heard the auctioneer explain: "We have studied the things recorded on this piece of paper, it is a high-grade martial arts, and the starting price is ten gold coins. ”

After the auctioneer's words were finished, everyone in the hall was discussing with each other whether this piece of paper had any auction value.

It's just a style in a martial arts, even if it's filmed, it's useless, unless someone has the rest of the moves.

Everyone discussed for a moment, thinking that there was no need to buy this piece of paper, and there were no other moves, and this piece of paper was like waste paper.

The first lot in the gambling auction was directly unsold.

The second lot is a mutilated second-grade Danfang. Because the Dan Fang is only useful to alchemists, and the alchemists are very rare, it is no surprise that the incomplete Dan Fang has been auctioned.

Zhou Chen has been paying attention to the lots on the auction table, and he is praying that the lots of the exercises will appear, so that this time will be in vain.

The third lot is a black piece of iron.

I only heard the auctioneer explain: "Our third auction lot is a black piece of iron, this piece of iron comes from a cave, there are some vague patterns on the piece of iron, we have studied for a long time, and we have never studied the secret of this piece of iron, but we speculate that this piece of iron must not be simple." Therefore, the starting price of the iron piece is fifty gold coins. ”

"Fifty gold coins, that's a lot!"

Hearing the price given by the auctioneer, everyone present was a little surprised, the starting price of this piece of iron was too high, and the highest price of the usual gambling auction was only forty gold coins.

Although the price of fifty gold coins is high, it also shows that this piece of black iron is unusual, and it may really be a treasure.

Then a few people began to bid.

At this moment, Zhou Chen's eyes were just looking at the iron pieces on the stage, and he didn't mean to bid, even the people in the auction hall didn't know what the iron pieces were used for, let alone him, even if he bought them back, he would still collect them.

Of course, Zhou Chen was not so atmospheric, and went to spend fifty gold coins to buy something that he didn't know was of any use.

Soon, the price of iron pieces was raised to sixty-one gold coins, and the price continued to rise.

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on the auctioneer's face, and two pieces were unauctioned, and finally one was about to be auctioned, but I don't know how much the price can reach.

In the end, the price of the lot stayed at seventy-five gold coins.

When the auctioneer saw that no one had raised the price again, he was about to prepare to drop the hammer, but at this moment, Zhou Chen, who was sitting in one place, said, "Seventy-seven." ”

The hammer that the auctioneer was about to fall stopped, glanced in the direction of Zhou Chen, and said, "Seventy-seven, the first time." Seventy-seven pieces for the second time. ”

"Seventy-eight gold coins. Then another voice came.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of the auctioneer's mouth, the higher the price, the better.

Hearing the seventy-eight gold coins, Zhou Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised, there would be someone bidding, seventy-seven gold coins was already a lot of money.

Zhou Chen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Long Mu, are you sure that black iron piece is a good thing?"

"Don't worry! When did the master deceive you, you can just increase the price with confidence. Long Mu's tone was firm.

Zhou Chen originally didn't plan to shoot this piece of black iron, but just now Long Mu told him that this piece of black iron was a good thing, and he would definitely not lose money if he took it himself.

"Eighty gold coins. Zhou Chen opened his mouth and said, he believed that Long Mu would not lie to himself, since Long Mu said that it was a good thing, then he would definitely get this thing.

Zhou Chen directly raised the iron piece to a high price of eighty pieces, and the person who originally bid with Zhou Chen also gave up, although this piece of iron may not be simple, but the price of eighty gold coins is indeed a bit too high, in case this piece of black iron is just an ordinary piece of iron, it will be a big loss.

In the end, this piece of black iron was auctioned by Zhou Chen at the price of eighty gold coins.
