Chapter 98(1/2)
"Thank you all for participating in this auction organized by the Huo Family Chamber of Commerce. On behalf of the Huo Family Chamber of Commerce, I would like to thank you for your arrival. The auction of the first lot will begin."
Huo Yun clapped his hands, and a woman in a white gauze dress walked to the auction table with a tray covered by red cloth.
Huo Yun uncovered the red cloth covering the tray, revealing a pair of jade bracelets.
The woman in a gauze dress walked to the edge of the auction table and showed everyone the auction items on the pallet.
The jade color is white without any flaws, and it is carved with the best mutton fat jade.
"A pair of high-quality mutton fat jade bracelets, worn for a long time, can nourish the body and beautify the skin. The starting price is 10 taels, and the price increase shall not be less than one tael..."
"Eleven liang."
"Thirteen taels."
"Fifteen taels."
...
Among the people participating in the auction, there were many female relatives. I heard that this pair of jade bracelets has the effect of nourishing the body and beauty, and many female relatives’ eyes shine.
As a result, many people participated in the auction under the urging of women.
In the end, this pair of top-notch mutton fat jade bracelets were bought by a wealthy businessman for 153 taels of silver.
The female next to her was smiling, while the rich businessman's face felt a little throbbing.
I spent 153 taels of silver to buy a pair of jade bracelets, which was very distressing.
As for nourishing the body, beautifying the skin, any piece of jade can be crowned with these two effects.
But he has never heard of jade that can truly beautify and nourish his skin.
"The second item is a mechanical crossbow made by a crossbow master in Pingshan City. The starting price is 15 taels of silver, and the price increase shall not be less than one tael of silver."
"The third item is a fine dagger, cast with fine iron, with a starting price of fifteen taels of silver, and each increase shall not be less than one tael of silver."
...
Lots after lots were brought to the auction table for auction.
These auction items are either extremely rare jade and jewelry, or items that are not available in Hei Shui City, and only other cities have them.
Things are precious because they are rare. Faced with these things that are either cherished or not in Hei Shui City, there are many people participating in the auction, and the final transaction price of each one is very high.
Huo Yun, who was hosting the auction, looked full of smiles. It was obvious that the transaction price of these lots was very satisfying to her.
Each item was carefully selected by her, and the success of each item represents her success, which makes her feel very accomplished.
"The 27th item, five hundred-year-old ginseng plants, are precious medicinal materials that replenish vitality and nourish the body after serious illness and serious injury. The starting price is 200 taels, and the price increase shall not be less than ten taels each time."
"Here you come!"
When Su Yang heard that the lot was five hundred-year-old ginseng, he sat up straight and became energetic.
The reason why he participated in this auction was naturally because he was attracted by the lots at the auction.
These five hundred-year-old ginseng plants are his goal.
"Two hundred and twenty taels."
He quoted.
"Two hundred and forty taels."
"Two hundred and seventy taels."
"Three hundred taels."
...
"One thousand taels."
After his offer, someone immediately quoted it, and the price rose steadily and soon reached 1,000 taels.
But this is far from reaching the limit, and the bidding is still coming one after another.
The bidding sound did not decrease until the price reached two thousand taels.
In addition to Su Yang, the leader of the Kuanglong Gang was the only middle-aged man with three beautiful women sitting beside him.
"I'm afraid I bought it for Longjiang."
Su Yang guessed the reason why Long Kuang bought ginseng.
Longjiang was seriously injured by him and his vitality was severely damaged. If he did not properly condition, he might even leave sequelae.
Long Kuang bought ginseng obviously to replenish Longjiang's vitality and regulate his body.
Another middle-aged man should have bought it for himself.
I think it was because I took too many concubines. When I was middle-aged, I couldn’t bear it. I bought it to nourish my body.
"Two thousand five hundred taels."
Su Yang is bound to win these five ginseng plants. After all, this is the main material of Qingling Pill, he quoted.
"Two thousand six hundred taels."
The middle-aged man had no offer anymore, Long Kuang looked at Su Yang coldly and said.
He had originally been incompatible with Su Yang, but now he is interested in the same item again.
Moreover, he suspected that Su Yang was deliberately fighting with him.
No matter how old Su Yang looks, he doesn’t seem to be someone who needs to use ginseng to nourish his body. It is likely that he knows that he needs ginseng to regulate Longjiang’s body and deliberately makes things difficult for him.
So, there was anger in his voice.
"Two thousand seven hundred."
Su Yang immediately increased the price.
He didn't know that Long Kuang had regarded his participation in the auction as a provocation, but he didn't care.
"Two thousand eight hundred taels."
The voice of the dragon man said with a quotation with gunpowder.
But it was obvious that his hesitation was obvious that the price was almost exceeding his psychological price.
"Three thousand taels."
Su Yang once again raised the price.
Long Kuang looked at Su Yang coldly and did not offer any more.
It’s not that he can’t afford more money, but that he feels it’s not worth it.
The market price of a century-old ginseng plant is about 500 taels, and the price of 3,000 taels has exceeded the market price by 500 taels. He did not want to spend this money in vain.
As for regulating Longjiang's body, he will find ways to buy other supplements. The medicinal materials that replenish vitality and regulate the body are not just ginseng.
Long Kuang gave up the auction, and Su Yang successfully auctioned the five ginseng plants for 3,000 taels.
Although the market price is 500 taels higher than this market price, he does not feel at a loss.
Once refined into the Qingling Pill, the value will be more than ten times more than it will be worth it.
Although you can buy it from the Song family at a market price by owe favors, it is best not to owe favors, but after all, things like favors will have to be paid sooner or later.
He owed the Song family twice, and paid two thousand-forged weapons. This favor was not cheap.
"The 38th item, a healing medicine formula, the starting price is 300 taels, and the price increase cannot be less than ten taels..."
“Thirty-ninth lot…”
“The Fortyth Lot…”
...
"The forty-fifth lot is a thousand-forged soldier refined by the leader of the Su Gang. It is two feet three in length and weighs ten kilograms and eight taels. It is a sword-shaped shape, and it is cut into iron like mud. It is the finest of the sword."
Huo Yun, who was the auctioneer, picked up the gorgeous long sword from the pallet and pulled it out of the scabbard.
Cut over the iron block placed on the booth, and the iron block suddenly broke into two pieces, and the sharpness of the sword was completely visible.
Seeing this, some people participating in the auction showed enthusiasm in their eyes.
A good weapon is too important for a warrior, and it can allow the warrior to have stronger survival ability in dangerous battles.
You can save anything, but you can never save anything on weapons.
"I don't know how many auctions can be made..."
Su Yang thought of some expectations.
It cost 3,000 taels of silver to buy five ginseng plants, which is quite expensive.
He hopes to be able to auction a good price so that he can make a lot of money while making back the money he spent.
"The starting price is 500 taels, and each increase shall not be less than 100 taels."
"Six hundred taels."
