Chapter 250 Auction Meeting
The next day.
After several days of heavy rain, a rainbow appeared in the sky.
The shopkeeper opened the door early and the waiter had already cleaned the entire lobby.
The smooth floor can reflect people's shadows.
The wet streets made the shopkeeper frown.
He went to the utility room with a heavy heart and dug out a red carpet.
The mottled red carpet looks old.
The shopkeeper rolled out the red carpet from the lobby outwards to the street.
A new high platform has been added to the lobby, with a sturdy square table on top.
There are rows of chairs under the platform, and there is a small tea table between every two chairs.
Directly in front, there are two square tables.
...
Just after breakfast, people started arriving one after another.
People's names were labeled on the chairs one by one. When all the chairs had names on them, the two square tables were still motionless.
Backyard.
Lin Shu and four other people were busy putting big red flowers on the animals and putting number plates on them.
These pigs and chickens have beautiful wool colors and are chubby and very cute.
He didn't look tired at all due to the long journey.
The little goats were full of energy and butted each other's heads, and even chased the little wild boar and butted its butts.
The big red flowers that were just neatly arranged suddenly became a mess.
The appearance that had just been tidied up became a mess again. Lin Shu slapped them a few times and these little things finally calmed down.
She was really afraid of these little things and would not perform well at the venue.
...
"Here he comes, the county magistrate is here.
Gentlemen, please step forward quickly. Our auction will attract many distinguished guests.
Don't offend them." The waiter came running over in a hurry.
Lin Shu's eyes darkened, she didn't want to argue with a waiter who did odd jobs.
Lin Shu and her group rushed the little creature into the designated room.
She adjusted her black melon-shaped hat, and a tuft of hair poked out uniquely from the top of the hat.
It stands upright and sways as the head moves, which is very cute.
The little person was wearing a moon-white robe.
He was holding a folding fan in his hand and wearing deerskin boots.
He took a deep breath, opened the wooden door in front of him, and walked calmly into the lobby.
He climbed onto the low table behind the table and stood still, looking calmly at the noisy bidders below the stage.
She slammed her folding fan on the table, grabbed the gavel and slammed it down hard.
‘Pa~’
"Everyone, please look here. This auction has officially begun.
I’m your auctioneer, Xiao Shitou. The earlier you act, the earlier you can get what you want.
Don't wait until you miss it and then regret it.
A man should take action when it is time to do so.
Now, please welcome lot number one. "
Lin Shu grabbed the gavel and slammed it heavily on the table, attracting all the attention at the scene.
The white-faced man sitting in the middle was talking in a low voice with the lawyer next to him, with a happy look on his face.
For the people of Fengji County, this kind of auction was the first time they had ever seen one.
At this time, outside the inn, there were crowds of people.
The street in front of the door was so blocked that not even an ant could squeeze through.
...
"The lively and cute little wild boars have strong reproductive capacity and can give birth to 15 or 16 little wild boars in one litter.
The starting price is one tael of silver."
Lin Shu rolled up her sleeves and stared at the people at the scene with sharp eyes.
When everyone heard the price of one or two taels of silver, they thought it was too cheap!
The selling price they know is one in heaven and one on earth.
You must bid and cannot miss such a good opportunity.
"Two liang!"
"Three liang!"
"Five taels!"
"Twelve!"
"Thirty taels!"
An abrupt voice broke the gradual accumulation of the crowd.
Those who raised the price glared at this man, wishing they could eat him alive.
"Look carefully, these are a pair of little wild boars with strong vitality.
They have excellent teeth, physique, fertility, and disease resistance, and are perfect breeding pigs.”
She wants to bid for a pair of wild boars for thirty taels, so why doesn’t she hold an auction for charity?
These words aroused everyone's enthusiasm again.
"Fifty taels!"
"Sixty taels!"
"Seventy taels!"
"Eighty taels!"
As soon as the voice of "eighty taels" was heard, the whole audience fell silent.
Lin Shu grabbed the gavel and said to the bidders.
"Eighty taels once, eighty taels twice, is there anyone who wants to increase the price?
If you miss this opportunity, you won’t know when the next one will come.
Is there any additional price?
Eighty-two or three times, bang!
make a deal! "
The gavel banged hard, and the first pair of piglets was sold for eighty taels.
Although it did not reach Lin Shu's ideal price, it was twenty taels higher than the actual price.
Not bad, not bad, not bad.
At the auction, Lin Shu used her eloquence.
The auction was pushed to one climax after another, attracting bidders to compete for bids.
When the last two pairs of pheasants were shot out, they roared until their throats were hoarse.
Everyone who bought what they liked left with their items satisfied.
This auction made them the center of attention.
A novel auction became a lifelong topic of conversation for them.
I am even more proud of my decisiveness back then.
...
Lin Hongyi held a small box in his hand, walked to the first square table, and said respectfully.
"Sir, this is a small gift from us brothers. Thank you for your hard work."
County Magistrate Xiao stroked his newly grown beard, nodded with satisfaction and said.
“Brother Lin cares about the people of the world, and his future achievements are immeasurable. This county magistrate will accept it on behalf of the people of Fengji County.
Alas, Fengji County is so poor now! There is a lack of everything.
I hope Mr. Lin can move around more often!"
County Magistrate Xiao took the box and handed it to the legal advisor beside him.
The lawyer couldn't suppress his joy and opened the box impatiently.
As he counted them one by one, the smile in his eyes deepened.
Eight hundred and fifty taels of silver notes, this was a number they dared not even think about.
What they didn't expect was the ridiculously high price.
It seems that they also need to find an opportunity to explore the road.
"Hahaha, I'll definitely come if I get a chance, definitely come!"
Lin Hongyi laughed it off and sent the county magistrate and his entourage away.
Until now, he still didn't understand why it was given to the county magistrate for free.
Isn’t that just throwing stones into the water?
He also gave the shopkeeper twenty taels of silver as rent for the venue.
The auction ended perfectly, and some people with ulterior motives no longer focused their attention on Lin Shu and her group.
Even Heizi and Baozi have lost their appeal.
Because livestock is the most important thing to them.
Because, no one can live without protein supplements such as meat and eggs throughout their life.
Oxen are not that important to wealthy families in the city.
There are farmhands or tenant farmers working on the land, and as rich people, they only need to harvest the grain.
The hardships involved have nothing to do with them.
...
Without the little thing to hold you back, there would naturally be a lot less trouble.
She learned from the information obtained by Luotangshuai that as soon as they entered Fengji County, they were targeted by the county magistrate.
She had to do this in public because she smelled something strange.
Although a portion of the silver was given out, it was actually a profit compared to the first selling price.
At least the four cows were saved, and that's the key point.
The rain stopped for a while at noon, and then it started to sleet and the temperature dropped to freezing point in an instant.
Lin Shu lay on the warm kang and didn't want to move, with a steamed bun in her left hand and a white tiger in her right hand, and a drowned rat beside her pillow.
The two huge monsters were unusually warm, and she would not feel cold even if she rolled left and right.
"Little Stone, this is the remaining three thousand three hundred and eighty taels."
Lin Hongyi placed the same box on the kang table.
