XXXIX. Discord
Seeing that Su Cheng was so polite and courteous, the anger in his heart disappeared by half, and said, "Doing business, competition is normal." Cheng Quartet only said half of this sentence, and there was also a sentence "You can be forgiven by some despicable means" did not come out.
Su Cheng asked: "Since the two of you are managing the affairs here together, why did you quarrel first?" So Cheng Si said about the grain, Su Cheng smiled: "It's normal to have a little difference of opinion, in this way, this cart of grain is not completely bad, doesn't the Mi housekeeper still have a pig farm? Mi Yuan looked at Su Cheng and then at Xiao Zhihan, snorted coldly, and said, "Now it's all about this." ”
After the matter was resolved, Su Cheng said again: "Steward Mi, I'm here to inform you that the barter field is ready." Mi Yuanwang nodded: "Okay, let's go." Then he said to the Quartet: "Let's come together." ”
Barter is a place where the treasures collected from all walks of life are auctioned, and every year, there will be barter transactions everywhere in the world, large or small. Originally, with Mi Zhu's financial resources, he only occasionally came to the barter field to join in the fun, but Mi Yuanwang was arrogant, and after taking charge of the Mijia Chamber of Commerce, he was even more empty-eyed, and he did not want to have more precious treasures in other places than the Mijia Chamber of Commerce, so no matter where he went, as long as the barter field opened, Mi Yuanwang would inevitably be there, and if there was a treasure, he would buy it at all costs.
In this way, although it costs more, all the treasures of the Mijia Chamber of Commerce are really the best in the world, and the reputation of Mi Yuanwang is getting bigger and bigger, and the business is getting better and better.
Everyone came to the barter field, and the gatekeeper saw Mi Yuanwang and greeted him with a smile: "Yo! Mi Yuanwang, you are here!" Looking at the attitude, Mi Yuanwang is not the first time to come here. Mi Yuanwang nodded and said, "Old rule, I want the top box." The gatekeeper said, "I've already prepared it for you." He looked at Su Cheng and Cheng Sifang and asked, "These two are ......" Mi Yuanwang said "Oh", and said: "They are all my friends, this is Su Chengsu, a big businessman in Yecheng, and this is Cheng Sifang." The gatekeeper said, "Since you are a friend of the Mi steward, please come in." ”
The two of them followed Mi Yuan and walked towards the box on the second floor of the barter field.
Su Cheng said softly: "We are stained with the light of the Mi family." Cheng Sifang was stunned: "What do you say?" Su Cheng said: "If it weren't for Mi Zhu being an official under Uncle Liu Huang, where could we businessmen sit comfortably in the box? Cheng Sifang listened, his heart was very unhappy, and said: "Why do you treat us businessmen like this?" Su Cheng said: "No way, Shinong Industry and Commerce, although we businessmen have some property, their status is the lowest. ”
As he was talking, a businessman came in behind, and sure enough, as Su Cheng said, he consciously went to the pool. Cheng Sifang said secretly: "I don't want to be this kind of businessman, I must become a big businessman who will be welcomed by everyone wherever I go." ”
The three of them sat down in the box, and someone served tea and fruit plates, waiting for the barter to begin.
After waiting for a while, the sun hung in the sky, under the direct sun, it was very hot, the pool was crowded with people, very crowded, under the direct rays of the scorching sun, you can imagine how uncomfortable it was.
"Bang!" A gong sounded, and a middle-aged man walked to the barter table and said in a loud voice: "Barter begins, if you have anything you like, please open the price in an orderly manner and don't mess up." "It seems that this man is the presiding.
The host said: "The first product today is a woman. After speaking, a woman walked from the stage to the stage, this woman is lovely and very delicate. I only listened to the host: "This woman's name is Qingxuan, a person from Yizhou, who fell here due to famine, and her parents died, so she sold herself to bury her parents, and the starting price was thirty taels of silver. ”
"Thirty-five taels of silver! Lao Tzu bought it back to be his wife!"
"Thirty-seven taels of silver, I don't have a wife!"
"Forty-five taels of silver, I also want a filling!"
Seeing Qingxuan's delicate appearance, everyone offered bids one after another.
"I'll give sixty taels of silver!" Suddenly, a middle-aged woman called out the price of sixty taels of silver: "This girl is good, the old lady will buy it back to invite guests!" The middle-aged woman is an old bustard who wants to buy Qingxuan back to the Qinglou.
Cheng Sifang has been outside for a long time, and he also knows how miserable the Qinglou woman is, and when he saw that the old bustard paid a high price of sixty taels, he couldn't help but feel a tight feeling in his heart. Su Cheng smiled and said: "Sixty taels of silver, this old bustard is really willing, but she has also earned it, and this girl will definitely be able to earn back a hundred times for her." ”
Mi Yuanwang looked at it with disdain: "Hmph, if I want to buy it, how can this old bustard compete with me? If I give a hundred taels of silver, she will never dare to fight with me." When Cheng Sifang heard this, he immediately shouted: "One hundred taels of silver!"
When everyone present heard this, they were all very surprised, although this Qingxuan appearance was good-looking, but one hundred taels of silver was too high. The old bustard glared at him and stopped talking.
"Is there anyone taller than a hundred taels of silver?"
The host asked this three times, and sure enough, as Mi Yuanwang said, no one bid again, so the host said: "That Qingwan is Mi Steward!"
Cheng Sifang couldn't bear Qingwan to fall into the Qinglou, so he took advantage of Mi Yuanwang to say this sentence and called the sky-high price of one hundred taels of silver.
Mi Yuanwang said angrily: "Cheng Sifang, what do you mean, why are you asking for the price?" Cheng Sifang looked innocent: "You said one hundred taels of silver yourself." Mi Yuanwang said: "I mean, if I want to fight, if! Don't you understand human language? Am I speaking bird language?" Cheng Quartet said: "Where, you are not a bird, I just understand your words, so I called the price." Mi Yuanwang was furious, stood up and slapped Cheng Sifang: "Cheng Sifang! You are making trouble for me! Don't think that you are recommended by the master, I dare not touch you!"
Cheng Sifang was also furious: "Mi Yuanwang! I respect you as Mr. Mi's housekeeper, so I tolerate you in every way, do you think that I can't leave the Mi Family Chamber of Commerce when I become Sifang?"
"Then get out!"
Su Cheng saw that the two of them were arguing more and more fiercely, and hurriedly said: "Eh, eh, don't quarrel, don't quarrel, isn't it just a hundred taels of silver? Mi Yuanwang sat down angrily, and Cheng Sifang also turned his head with a breath.
"Become a Quartet, you buy people, you take care of them, Lao Tzu doesn't care. Mi Yuanwang said angrily.
Cheng Quartet said: "I'll take care of it, I'll take care of it." ”
Qingwan happened to come up to see the buyer, but when she saw the two arguing, she was terrified, cowering aside, and didn't dare to take a step forward. Cheng Sifang beckoned to Qingwan: "Qingwan, you come, I will take care of you in the future." Qing Wan smiled slightly, walked over and saluted Cheng Sifang.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the second item of the day is an ancient map that shows the place where the treasures of the ages are hidden. As he spoke, the servant took up an ancient map, and the host pulled the ancient map away: "As for what the treasure is, no one knows, if you are interested, you can buy it and find it, the reserve price is one hundred taels of silver, please bid." ”
