Chapter 50 The excitement of the first day
As the King of Wei, it is naturally impossible for Li Ming to end up personally.
But fortunately, after a month of training from him, someone can still come in handy.
This is a maid from Prince Wei's Mansion.
No more than eighteen years old.
After a month of training, I am basically competent.
The figure slowly stepped onto the high platform. At this time, Chunxiang was wearing a light green shirt, her eyebrows were curved, her small nose was slightly upturned, her face was like white jade, her face was as beautiful as a radiance, and there was a string of pearls hanging in her neck, emitting a faint light.
The halo made her look even more pink and jade-like.
When I walked onto the stage, the originally noisy auction suddenly became quiet.
"Everyone, the little girl Chunxiang, under the instructions of His Royal Highness King Wei, will lead this auction!"
"Everyone should have read the list, so here is the first item for today's auction!"
Without too many words or too much incitement, it is already good to be able to cultivate it to this level in one month.
Following Chunxiang's voice, several guards quickly brought over several large sacks.
Then he slowly opened it in front of everyone.
Just by opening it, the snow-white color instantly made everyone's eyes shine.
"One hundred buckets of snow candy."
"The starting price is two hundred guan, and each bid increase shall not be lower than the usual amount. If it is determined that there has been no increase in bid three times after the quotation, it will be declared that the auction item has been obtained."
"If you have snow candy styles in your hands, you can try them and then quote us."
As Chunxiang spoke, one of the attendants delivered small portions of sugar to everyone.
Each small portion is only four or five pills.
But it’s enough for people to see clearly.
Someone subconsciously put it in their mouth.
And this time, their eyes couldn't help but light up instantly.
Sugar, in this era, is almost as big a killer as salt.
And compared to sucrose, the sugar content of white sugar is much higher.
The next moment, a voice sounded from the first floor.
"Two hundred and twenty!"
The words were spoken, as if the silence was broken instantly.
"Two hundred and fifty strings!"
"Two hundred and sixty!"
"Three hundred strings!"
......
In just an instant, the price of one hundred bushels of sugar soared to three hundred bushels.
And this is not the end.
"Four hundred strings!"
Someone on the second floor couldn't help but bid, and at that moment the price soared to 400 yuan.
"Four hundred and fifty!"
If there is the first on the second floor, there will naturally be the second.
Prices continue to rise.
It wasn't until the price exceeded 500 yuan that the shouting gradually became quieter.
The final price stayed above 1,200 yuan.
"One thousand two hundred guan, once!"
"Twelve hundred strings, twice!"
"One thousand two hundred strings, three times!"
"The transaction is completed. Congratulations on getting one hundred dou of snow sugar. Please hand over the payment within three days."
"By the way, in addition to the sales of snow candy, Wang's salesmen, Lin's salesmen, and Li's... can be purchased. You can check it from the listing."
Chunxiang's face turned red as she spoke. She was very excited about the start of the game, which was one thousand two hundred coins. She did not forget Li Ming's instructions, and by the way, she sent a wave of advertisements to those sponsors.
And all of a sudden, the eyes of the dozen wealthy businessmen who had paid huge sponsorship fees couldn't help but light up, and their expressions were filled with excitement.
The people who can enter the auction in front of me are all rich people.
They almost instantly thought of the role of such an advertisement.
"Gudong!"
Manager Wang swallowed a mouthful of saliva. At this moment, he only felt that his mouth was dry.
Originally, he just planned to spend money to ensure that he could get Xuetang's agent, but he didn't expect that the money was really not just to bribe King Wei, but actually useful.
Subconsciously he glanced around, his eyes glowed green.
It's not just him at this moment, it's the same for everyone else.
Even some wealthy businessmen who had not paid sponsorship fees looked a little regretful.
But obviously, the auction will not stop because of these people's thoughts.
The second item was quickly taken out.
"A hundred buckets of snow salt"
"The starting price is 2,000 guan. Each bid increase shall not be lower than 1,000 guan. If there is no bid increase three times after the bid is made, the auction item will be declared to have been obtained."
This time Chunxiang’s voice just spoke.
The price started to soar instantly.
"Three thousand strings!"
"Three thousand five hundred strings!"
"Four thousand strings!"
"Four thousand five hundred strings!"
Compared with sugar, the price of salt is undoubtedly higher, after all, it is a necessity.
In this case.
It took only a moment to reach Wuqianguan.
At this moment, someone on the third floor finally spoke.
"Seven thousand strings!"
"If anyone is willing to pay more, I, Cui Xinhe, will give it to him."
A voice with a slight chuckle spoke.
And his words instantly silenced the venue.
Not only because these seven thousand strings have exceeded most people's psychological expectations, but also because this is the third level of people speaking.
Above the attic.
Li Shimin frowned slightly, he had always been unhappy with the Cui family.
But when he looked at Xue Yan below, a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.
A hundred measures of snow and salt are sold for 7,000 guan, which seems to be a blood profit no matter how you look at it.
"Cui Xinhe is crazy. He offered 7,000 guan for one hundred dou of snow and salt."
Li Zhi couldn't help but speak.
He just felt speechless at this moment.
The 1,200 guan just made him feel outrageous, but now he got 7,000 guan all at once.
That's 7,000 guan. It's a question mark whether he has that much money since he became the king.
But he just said Qianqianguan casually, and he didn’t even take it seriously.
"Brother Ninth, you think the hundreds of years of accumulation of these aristocratic families are just decoration."
"Seven thousand strings!"
Li Ming chuckled and shook his head.
As a time traveler, he even understands better than most people of this era the extent of the "richness" of aristocratic families.
"One hundred pounds, good rice paper!"
"Its texture is soft and tough, the ink layers are clear, the shades are well-proportioned, the quality is pure white and fine, soft and even, the cotton is tough and strong, smooth but not slippery, transparent and glossy, the color remains unchanged, it is not damaged by any fold, and it is resistant to aging.
Insect-proof and moth-proof."
The voice below rose again, and the next moment a young man walked up to the stage and wrote on rice paper with a brush.
With a splash of ink, a line of text was written on it.
"The starting price is two hundred guan, and each bid increase shall not be lower than the usual amount. If it is determined that there has been no increase in bid three times after the quotation, it will be declared that the auction item has been obtained."
Written with pen and ink, the fonts were engraved on the rice paper, which looked particularly eye-catching. In an instant, the eyes of many literati and businessmen were brightened.
Chapter completed!
