Chapter 689

When Boss An saw the two big businessmen from Jinling coming, he felt very uneasy. As soon as the hammer fell, he immediately shouted: "550 taels."

Dou Shaodong's family clicked his tongue: "Jianghuai people are stingy, I offer 800 taels."

Boss An was dumbfounded. He looked at the young boy and said, "Are you going to do business? How can you offer so much at once?"

Dou Shaodong's family is very poor. After giving Boss An a look of "you poor ghost", he said arrogantly: "800 taels of silver is nothing more than 800 taels of gold. What's the fuss? The ham is worth the price. Three years of cooking Once fresh, this kind of treasure will definitely become an annual gift for the rich and powerful in the capital when it arrives in the capital."

This is exactly what Dou Shaodong's family is looking for. The rich and powerful in the capital have money and face, and the more expensive the annual gift, the more face they will have.

Boss An was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He is a veteran in the business field, so he didn't follow the price any more, for fear of raising the price up.

But Dong Dong's family said: "850 taels."

Seeing this, Mr. Qi also shouted in order to flatter the Gu family: "900 taels."

Hurry up if you want to bid, he doesn't want to spend 900 taels to buy a pork leg, he just wants to show his favor to Gu's family by shouting at random.

Boss An was so angry that he vomited blood, but still insisted on not following.

But Ouyang Hu bid at this time: "1000 taels. Ham is the glaze in the meat, the pearl of the sea, worth a thousand taels."

In a word, the price of ham was completely raised. Since then, many people have called ham glass meat, which is also the beginning.

Dou Shaodong's eyes are bright, mother, Liuli Rou, Mr. Ouyang, your words are worth more than ham, and Dou Shaodong's family is even more determined to transport the ham to the capital for auction.

But he didn't follow up the price, and left the first auctioned ham to Mr. Ouyang, which could give him momentum for future ham auctions.

He was the first to get up and said: "Mr. Ouyang is famous far and wide, and he is our elder. You should bid for the first ham, and the younger generation will not follow the price."

He said so, Dong Dong's family will naturally not follow.

Gu Jinan asked three times, is there still someone bidding?Seeing that no bids were made, he hammered the iron block and said loudly, "Mr. Ouyang bought Yanfu ham at a price of 1000 taels!"

He brought high-quality oiled paper and wrapped Mr. Ouyang's ham himself. Although it was wrapped in oiled paper, the cloth strips tied with the ham had a lot of origin.

Mr. Ouyang is well-informed, and he saw at a glance that the cloth strip is actually a long piece of embroidery, with a prayer scripture embroidered on it, and four characters embroidered on the end of the cloth strip: Mr. Fu'an.

"This is Mr. Fu'an's embroidery." Ouyang Hu was very pleasantly surprised: "This ham is worth the money, and I can even get a small embroidery from Mr. Fu'an."

Boss An and the others were shocked: "Is it really Mr. Fu'an's embroidery?"

This Mr. Fu'an and the others knew that he was an embroidery master who suddenly appeared three years ago. He was famous for his vivid characters and rural scenery, and he could also embroider some scriptures.Boss An's old lady also bought a piece of Mr. Fu'an's embroidery at a high price. It is offered as a treasure every day, and it will not be touched easily. It will only be displayed at banquets.

"It can't be fake, right?" Boss Tian asked hesitantly, and he couldn't believe it. The dignified Fu'an embroidery master would embroider strips of cloth for Yanfulou to tie hams. Who would believe it?

However, Ouyang Hu said: "It's the real thing. I have two pieces of embroidery by Mr. Fu'an in my home. The embroidery method of the font size is exactly the same as this one, and it's not bad at all."

Mr. Fu'an's name is composed of a unique auspicious cloud pattern. These auspicious cloud patterns are very complicated, but there are traces to follow. As long as you look carefully, you can know whether it is true or not.

Ouyang Hu smiled and said: "This old man has made a lot of money. Whether you want to buy it or not is up to you."

Dou Shaodong's family was very excited. When the auction started for the second ham, they bought it at a high price of 500 taels, and the third ham was bought by Dong Dong's family.

Boss An kept trying not to bid, but seeing the price getting higher and higher, Gu Jinan also said: "In order to ensure the price of ham, we will only auction ten hams at Yanfu Building this year."

In a word, Boss An was almost forced to scold his mother, but in desperation, he could only buy three hams at a high price of 800 taels each, and spent a total of more than 5000 taels of silver, which almost made him fall to the ground in anger.

But after regaining his senses, Boss An was already thinking about how to double the sales of these three hams.

Boss Hu was dumbfounded. He originally wanted to buy a few hams to be auctioned at Futai Building, but seeing that the hams were so expensive, he was too frightened to bid, feeling like he would lose his fortune if he bid.

I'm afraid I'm afraid.

Hu Dongjia wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his whole body was shaking.

The ten hams were auctioned off in less than two quarters of an hour. Mr. Dou's family was rich and powerful, and they bought four hams, Boss An's three, Dong Dong's two, and Ouyang Hu's one.

Dong Dong's family pointed to Dou Shaodong's family and said: "You are really ruthless, you eat four out of ten hams, and you don't leave any for my Dong family."

Dou Shaodong's family laughed and said: "Uncle Dong, it is enough for you to take two hams, as long as you put these two hams in your Yifeng Garden, the literati and high-ranking guests in the south of the Yangtze River will immediately gather and bid high prices for your hams. Although you only bought two hams, at least ten hams can be sold at the auction, and you can make a name for your Dong family, so you can earn enough."

Mr. Dou's family was very smart. He told Mr. Dong's family on the carriage that he would not sell the ham in the south of the Yangtze River after he bought it, but would transport it to the capital, where he would slaughter the money of the nobles in the capital, so that Mr. Dong's family should not raise the price with him.

Dong Dong's family agreed, and today the two are considered a win-win situation.

County magistrate Zheng, county magistrate Fang, and county captain Jiang were astonished. The pork legs really sold for a thousand taels of silver!

Fang Xiancheng was sweating coldly, this pork leg was too valuable.

County magistrate Zheng came back to his senses after being surprised, and invited Ouyang Hu: "Mr. Ouyang, today is the winter solstice. It is fate that we met. Please do me a favor and spend the winter at my house."

Brother Cheng is very good at handling affairs, and said to Ouyang Hu: "Grandpa Ouyang, you can go to Brother Qing's house to celebrate the winter solstice. As long as you go, I will ask my second sister to give you a jar of Yanfu wine, which is the kind you just drank. , wine specially paired with ham."

Ouyang Hu likes to drink the blended wine very much, but: "Yanfu wine, the name is too casual."

Yanfu Building, Yanfu Ham, Yanfu Wine, these are the names chosen to save trouble, brother Cheng and his second sister are really too lazy to do it.

Brother Cheng said with a smile: "My second sister said that the word Yanfu is easy to remember and blessed, and Yanfu wine and Yanfu ham, people will know it is from our Yanfu building as soon as they hear it."

But his second sister finally said that she was just lazy and didn't want to bother thinking about names.

Ouyang Hu laughed when he heard that: "In that case, the old man will go to Zheng's mansion to bother you."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Zheng was overjoyed, and was very grateful to Cheng Geer. The Gu family Erlang was indeed a good person, so he helped Zheng's family like this.

Zheng Ying admired Mr. Ouyang Hu very much, and said, "Uncle, my nephew, Dong Dong's family, and Dou Shaodong's family are also going to the house to bother me."

Dong Dong's family has two sons, and they really want to make friends with a great scholar like Ouyang Hu, which is what they wish for.
