Chapter 192: Auction(1/2)

After leaving the door, Professor Li suddenly stopped and turned to me and Hua Muling, "Are you two driving?"

I nodded and said: "Let's drive!"

Professor Li said excitedly: "Great! Where is your car?"

Hua Muling said: "Over here!"

With that said, I pulled Professor Li to my off-road vehicle.

Professor Li opened the car door without any reason, jumped into the passenger seat, and then loudly urged the two of us, "Hurry! Hurry! If you are later, you will not be able to catch up."

I also opened the car door and jumped in. Looking at Professor Li's anxious expression, I asked, "I said Professor Li, where are we going?"

Professor Li looked at me and said: "West of the city, Juxing Tower!"

Juxinglou is a Liyuan theater located near Yong'an Road in Xicheng.

Although the Juxing Tower is not ranked among the five major theaters in the capital, it has a very high status in the world of martial arts, especially in Xiabamen.

Because, in addition to listening to operas and drinking tea, this Juxing Tower also runs another business - auctions.

What is being photographed? What is being sold?

Of course, most of them are shady objects.

Although this place is not as good as Zhenpinzhai in the ghost market, it is still flocked to by many people.

When I was very young, I went to Juxing Tower with my grandfather. At that time, I didn’t have a good impression of this place. I thought it was too dull.

Everyone who came here was either an old man or an old lady, and no one spoke a word. They were just listening to a show and drinking tea. They were bored to death.

Therefore, after staying for a while, I clamored to go home, so I didn’t have a deep impression of Juxing Tower.

Since the road in front of Juxinglou is very narrow, I parked my car in the parking lot opposite the intersection.

After getting off the car, the three of us walked all the way to the Juxing Tower.

This time I came to Juxing Building for the second time. To be honest, I was really shocked by the three-story building in front of me.

I saw that the Juxing Building is hidden deep in the old street, not close to the bustling road, and its old-fashioned and retro decoration makes people feel like they have traveled back to the past.

Let’s not mention the carved beams and painted buildings outside the door for now, but the inside of the Juxing Tower is even more unique.

The first floor is a very large and spacious hall, with forty or fifty tables filled with people. Each table looks inconspicuous, but in fact it is made of the best wood and made by the best workers.

There are six cold dishes, six kinds of pastries, six kinds of dried fruits, and a pot of hot tea on the table.

Dozens of tea doctors were shuttled among the crowd. The play hadn't even started yet, and the sound of shouting made it a lively scene.

The second and third floors are private rooms.

Professor Li seems to come to this Juxing Tower often. After entering, a beautiful girl wearing a super short cheongsam came up to her and greeted Professor Li with a smile.

Professor Li lowered his head and said something in the girl's ear. Because the environment here was so noisy, I couldn't hear his words clearly for a while, but the shape of his mouth seemed to say, "Is he here?"

The girl didn't speak, just nodded with a smile, and then led us up to the third floor.

The girl walked all the way in front, her round and tight butt swaying from side to side, which made Professor Li swallow several times in succession.

I couldn't help but find it funny and thought: "A dignified university professor is actually such a lecherous person."

Thinking of this, I turned around and looked at Hua Muling beside me, only to find that Hua Muling had a sad face at this time.

I touched Hua Muling lightly with my elbow and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Hua Muling frowned and said, "It's nothing. I'm just a little weird."

I said in surprise: "Strange? What's so strange?"

Hua Muling said: "Why did Professor Li suddenly bring us here after he knew that you were a descendant of the Hu family? What did he want to do?"

I smiled after listening to Hua Muling's words and said, "So that's what you're worried about. Let's make peace with it now. We haven't seen any big storms. We'll know what kind of medicine Professor Li sells in his gourd."

Is it done?"

Just as I was talking, the girl in cheongsam brought us to the door of a private room called "He Chun".

Then I heard the girl say with a full smile: "Guys... please come in!"

Before the girl finished speaking, Professor Li ducked into the room. Seeing Professor Li enter the room, Hua Muling and I had no choice but to follow.

And just when I passed by the girl, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, the girl's hand rubbed on the pocket of my pants.

I raised my head and glanced at her, but she made a face at me and ran downstairs.

I looked at the girl's leaving figure and subconsciously touched my pants pocket. Sure enough, I didn't know when there was a note in my pocket.

I didn't take out the note, but pretended that nothing happened and sat on the chair.

At this time, the gong sounded on the stage, and the backstage drama began.

In the first scene of "Catch and Release Cao", no famous actor appeared in this scene. Although it was generally passable, the actor who played Chen Gong made people feel a little uncomfortable.

I'm not a fan of Beijing opera, so after listening to it for a while, I turned my attention to the food on the table.

I first poured myself a pot of tea and took a sip. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "Good tea! If I guess correctly, this is the first crop of Longjing before the rain this year."

Then, I picked up another piece of pastry on the table.

The pastries are traditional Chinese pastries, six of the eight items.

I chose the salt and pepper and sesame filling, which is my favorite flavor since I was a kid.

I took a big bite, and you can't tell me that the taste of this old eight pieces is really good. When you taste it, it is the workmanship of Tianfengju master chef.

I ate four pieces in a row, and then drank half a bottle of Yuqian Longjing. Then I stood up and smiled at Professor Li and said, "Professor Li, you are here to listen to the show. I have three urgent needs. I will go to the toilet first."

Professor Li was so fascinated that he didn't even pay attention to me.

Seeing that Professor Li ignored me, I tried a color on Hua Muling. Hua Muling nodded slightly, and then I walked out the door, turned around and went straight to the toilet.

The decoration of Juxing Building is very luxurious, even the toilets are no exception.

I found an empty spot inside, locked the door, and took out a note from my pocket that the girl had given me before.

I slowly opened the note and saw a few words written on it, "At three o'clock in the afternoon, see you at Liulichang Wanfu Tea House."

I couldn't help but smile when I looked at the words on the note and thought: "This way of making an appointment is kind of interesting."

Then, I took out the lighter in my pocket and lit the note with a click.

The note burned quickly when it encountered fire, and soon it was all gone.

I threw the remaining small portion into the toilet, then returned to the private room named "He Chun", pretending that nothing happened, and continued to eat and drink and watch the show.

There are three plays in total. Except for Daoma Dan's "Mu Guiying's Expedition" which is interesting, the rest are mostly unremarkable.

After a while the play was over, and the main event began - the auction.

After the actors went down, a little girl walked up slowly. She didn't look too old, she was in her early twenties at most. She was very beautiful and had a good figure. She was wearing a cheongsam made of very frugal fabrics. She walked with a twist.

The twist caused many men in the audience on the first floor to whistle.

The girl didn't care at all about the men's teasing expressions. She walked to the center of the stage with a smile and said, "There are so many distinguished guests here today. I think they all come here for the treasure in their hearts."

In the middle of what the little girl was saying, suddenly a man in the audience shouted: "That's right! I'm just here for you. You are my fucking treasure in my heart! Come with me tonight

!”

The tone of this man's words was very frivolous, causing countless people in the audience to burst into laughter.

Hearing what the man said, the little girl on the stage smiled slightly and said, "Really? Then it depends on whether this man has this ability?"

The man laughed and said: "Skill? Little sister, is that skill you are talking about? Hahahaha... "

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The man's words caused a roar of laughter.

I thought that the little girl on the stage would be somewhat displeased by such verbal teasing, but to my surprise, although she is not very old, she has a very high emotional intelligence.

The little girl smiled slightly and said: "We at Juxing Tower always put customers first. As long as you pay the starting price, there is nothing that you can't take away, including of course the people here."

The little girl's words caused the audience to burst into cheers instantly.

I glanced at Hua Muling, and then said softly: "Fourth girl, although this girl is not big, she seems to be very good at understanding people's psychology."

Hua Muling rolled her eyes at me and said, "What? You also want to compete with that scumbag?"

I smiled bitterly and said, "Look at what you said, am I that kind of person?"

While Hua Muling and I were talking, the girl on the stage had already begun to announce the rules of the Juxing Tower bidding.

I listened briefly and found that the rules are not complicated. Basically, the first floor cannot participate in the bidding on the second floor. The second floor cannot participate in the bidding on the third floor. On the third floor, you can bid for whatever you like. Of course, this includes people.

.

After listening to the girl's introduction, I couldn't help but turn my head and look at Professor Li, who looked harmless next to me, and thought: "Where does this guy come from? How can he go directly to the third floor?"

Professor Li didn't notice that I was looking at him, he just looked at the stage with interest.

After a while, the auction of Juxing Tower began.

At first, the auction items were all of low value, and everyone's enthusiasm was not very enthusiastic.
To be continued...
