Swordsman Fengyunzhi

Chapter 275 The New Medicinal Wine Project

Chapter 270 Five New Medicinal Alcohol Plan

As time passed, the auction venue gradually filled up with people.Yi Xifeng found a relatively secluded corner to sit down, while the old man sat on the grand teacher's chair in the front row.

After all, it represented Ji Rentu to participate in the auction. Even if he didn't buy anything, the auction house had to show due respect.It's just for fun, after all, this old man is also a housekeeper, and he was not arranged to go to the private room on the second floor. Of course, if his master came, he would have that qualification.

Soon, a scantily clad woman appeared in this rather large auction site. She was about 30 years old and her appearance could only be regarded as above-average. But since she took the stage and saluted, everyone in the audience followed her in silence.

The rules of this auction house are slightly different from the auctions that Yi Xifeng knew in his previous life.There are bright shots and dark shots.

Before coming here, the Baijing boy had specifically asked Zhang Yanyan and others for advice. After all, the heroic youth was a few years older than them, and he traveled with caravans since he was a child. He has been to several surrounding countries. For this auction The matter is also a little research.

The so-called open auction means that the owner and the auction house have negotiated a share in advance. Except for the ownership, the auction house is responsible for all other matters of operation and promotion.As for the auction process, it is not much different from the auction Yi Xifeng knew in his previous life.

Only the things that are photographed will not be unsold.If no one participates in the bidding in the end, the holder can choose to sell the item to the auction house. As for the price, the holder and the auction house will negotiate separately, and the transaction is generally higher than the auction reserve price.

Yi Xifeng sighed in his heart, this method also invisibly advertised the value of the auction item.Tell everyone who participated in the auction that even if you don't know if this item is worth anything, our auction house recognizes this item.

Another auction method, which is exactly the opposite, is the secret auction.

The value of all things that are auctioned openly is generally recognized, or things that have been seen by professional appraisers in auction houses.But dark shots are just the opposite. These things are either of unknown origin, or have particularly strange uses, and most of the dark shots are invisible.

That's right, just listening to the information from the introducer will more or less replace it with some symbolic things.So the value in it will vary widely.

It is this kind of uncertainty that has become the favorite of those who like to hunt things in the auction house.People are greedy, and they always hope to use the smallest cost in exchange for a return far higher than the cost. This is called picking up leaks.

The existence of dark shots caters to this trend.

……

On the stage, the boldly dressed woman bestowed blessings on the audience, and then said with a smile, "Thank you, seniors, for coming to our Fallen Leaf Auction House! I am a master of appreciating treasures from Sihai Pavilion."

The owner of the Fallen Leaf Auction House is naturally the county magistrate Shen Fu. After all, Fallen Leaf City is one of the trading hubs of the entire Luoyun Kingdom. Taxes in the jurisdiction.

And this Four Seas Pavilion is a faction under the Fallen Leaf Auction House. The entire Fallen Leaf Auction House is divided into "three pavilions and one hall", namely the Four Seas Pavilion, the Xuanbing Pavilion, the Tianji Pavilion, and the Sifang Hall.

These three pavilions and one hall respectively occupy one auction site, and each auction is held at the same time, which is extremely lively!

Of course, the four forces seem to compete with each other, but in fact they are all under the control of Ji Shenfu, but their division of labor is different.

The three pavilions in the three pavilions and one hall are mainly for dark auctions, while the Sifang hall is for open auctions.It can also be seen from this that people love dark shots.

And in the three pavilions that mainly carry out secret shooting, there is also a division of labor.

Sihai Pavilion mainly auctions some rare treasures, or things of unknown use.As for the price, there is also a big difference. It may be worthless in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of those who need it, it is indeed a rare piece of meat and potatoes.

Xuan Bing Pavilion mainly auctions weapons and armor, but since it is a secret auction, only those who know the actual quality of the items can know.

Tianji Pavilion can be regarded as a relatively special auction place. Most of the auctions here are secrets of martial arts that have been circulated in the world. Some have been handed down from martial arts families, and some have been obtained from secret realms.There is also the auction of intelligence information between some forces.

As for the last hall, Sifang Hall, it is the world of open auctions. Anything that needs to be auctioned is a good thing, or the value is fair.But correspondingly, there is almost no chance of picking up the leak.Therefore, some high-end goods are auctioned in Sifang Hall.

It can be seen from this that the Fallen Leaf Auction House is very accurate in dividing the bidders, which not only takes into account the needs of the public, but also satisfies the efficiency of the auction at the elite level.

And this woman called herself the treasure appraiser of Sihai Pavilion, which was actually an elegant name for an auctioneer like her.

……

"Then let's not talk too much. The first treasure I bring to you today is a kind of natural and earthly treasure. It was provided by a hermit, secretly shot!" The woman picked up a treasure from a maid's tray. The object turned out to be a vine.

The connoisseur took the vine, held it up for a look, and then put it back on the tray.The maid carrying the tray carried the tray and walked among the bidders under the stage.

The maid didn't pass it to the private room upstairs, presumably a small section of vines was placed in their respective rooms.

"This is exactly the vine of heavenly material and earthly treasure. You look at it and listen to the explanation below. This thing is shaped like a pair of fists, with purple skin and yellow fruit, seedless and seedless, sweet in taste, and has the effect of refreshing!"

The woman on the stage talked eloquently, talking about the efficacy of this natural treasure. During the period, several people stopped the maid and picked up the vine to examine it carefully, but there were not many people who actually bid.

However, the white and clean boy sitting in the corner suppressed the excitement in his heart, casually took the vine handed by the maid, looked at it for a while, and took it under his nose to smell it.

Looking at that posture, if there were not people watching around, this young man would probably bite his mouth...

However, the maid on the side didn't rush. The longer the time for this kind of auction, the more detailed the introduction, and the more intense the bidding will be later.

Yi Xifeng reluctantly put the section of vine back on the tray, already determined in his heart that this thing is what he is determined to get!

That's right, the first treasure in this auction is a nourishing fruit!

This kind of fruit is a rare medicinal material. In fact, four years ago, Yi Xifeng wanted to get one, but it was a pity that he couldn't do it with his financial resources and contacts at that time.I had to settle for the next best thing, and use vermilion fruit instead of Yangshen fruit.

Thus, the formula of "Suxin Wine" was formulated. Of course, it was this Suxin Wine that made the Bai Jing boy and Li Chengtao get acquainted, and because of the cooperation, the other party agreed to teach him swordsmanship.

Of course, Suxin Wine is only a small inducement, but it is undeniable that Suxin Wine helped Yi Xifeng.

After three years of painstaking training, the youth's plan to develop medicinal wine was also implemented smoothly, and his Qingxin wine house gradually entered the right track, allowing him to initially realize financial freedom.

However, even so, he has been inquiring about the whereabouts of this kind of nourishing fruit these years, but unfortunately there has been no news.

It's just that Yi Xifeng never expected that he would meet here today.

anyway!Must have!This is related to whether the new medicinal wine plan can be implemented!

The fair and clean boy secretly made up his mind!Then quickly placed a chip on the maid's tray.

This is the so-called pressure, which represents the buyer's initial price in mind.

Soon the first round of betting chips will be counted, and the people in the auction house will count these chips and calculate an average price, which is the reserve price of this item.

"Things that warm and nourish the soul are rare. This thing has the effect of refreshing and nourishing the mind. For martial arts practitioners, it is a rare good thing when they break through! It is also a kind of inheritance and great hope!"

Yi Xifeng squinted her eyes and listened to the woman's foolish work on the stage. She had to say that these professional appraisers are really good at speaking. What was originally a relatively small herbal medicine became a gift after what she said. Great gift idea!

But he hoped that the other party could shut up. If he really aroused the mind of some big boss and wanted to give it to his grandson to make up his mind, then Yi Xifeng would be in the cold.

The efficiency of Sihai Pavilion is still very high. In less than half a cup of tea, the reserve price of this nourishing fruit came out.

"I really didn't expect that the base price of this treasure of heaven, material and earth is so low! It's really a bargain! It's only 500 taels!" The woman said with a reckless expression on her face.

Yi Xifeng's hanging heart eased slightly, he had just quoted 600 taels, when the reserve price came out, it was lower than his own quotation, which meant that there would not be many people competing with him.After all, there are not many people who bid higher than themselves.

The scantily clad woman smiled charmingly, and said loudly: "Then I announce that we will start bidding for the No. [-] auction item."

Yi Xifeng didn't bid at the beginning, he wanted to see the situation of his opponent.

"510 taels!" An old man raised his hand and said.

He looks like a shopkeeper in a pharmacy. After all, this kind of medicinal material, even if it is said to be the elixir of life by Jianbao Yashi, those who really want to buy it must use it.

"530 taels!" Another woman said slowly.

The woman who bid the price seemed to be in her fifties, with a kind face, and she didn't know what she wanted the fruit for rejuvenating the spirit.

"550 taels!"

……

Gradually, the price has approached the psychological price that Yi Xifeng reported earlier.

"620 taels!" The old man who looked like the shopkeeper of the pharmacy raised his hands here.

Up to this point, most of the bidders had given up bidding with each other. After all, although the Yangshen Fruit was good, its actual value was only about 600 taels, which was already close to 650 taels at this time, obviously exceeding the budget of most people.

Seeing that the number of bidders gradually decreased, Yi Xifeng made up his mind and planned to win the bid after a while.

While the fair boy was thinking, a person in the crowd suddenly said in a deep voice:

"I give 1000 taels!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, not because people were amazed at the huge sum of 1000 taels.In fact, more than 1000% of the people present were able to take out the money.But if they were to spend [-] taels to buy a herb, they would definitely...resist desperately.

Yi Xifeng turned his head to look behind him with a gloomy face. Less than ten feet away from him, a young man raised his hand. It was the 1000 taels he just called.

But what surprised the Bai Jing boy was that he still knew this person, who was the shopkeeper of the river and lake tavern where they lived.He still remembered that this person's surname was Zhang.

At the same time, Yi Xifeng also instantly understood why the other party spent a lot of money to buy this fruit for nourishing the soul, and the answer was ready to come out, and it was surprisingly similar to the boy's own reason!

winemaking.

That's right, the shopkeeper Zhang of the Jianghu Tavern is just to make wine, and it's the 1000 taels of "spiritual wine"!

The main reason why the Bai Jing boy has such a vivid memory of this wine is because of the price.

Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help cursing the profiteer secretly. This Yangshen fruit can at least brew a large urn of wine, but he costs 1000 taels per jug, which shows how cunning this shopkeeper surnamed Zhang is.

The room suddenly became a little deserted. After all, it was raised from more than 600 taels to 1000 taels. The old man and woman who had been bidding before could not help but frown.

To be honest, although the real price of this Yangshen fruit is only about 600 taels, but because it has a price and no market, it is not a disadvantage to get it before 700 taels.This is also the root of careful bidding between women and elders.

It's a pity that Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway, and the tavern manager threw out 1000 taels very capriciously, which made everyone present lose their interest in continuing to increase the price.

"Sure enough, the eyes of the masses are discerning. Finally, someone discovered the true value of auction item No. 1000! So, [-] taels?"

Ascendant Jianbao asked playfully.

Seeing that everyone in the audience was silent, the woman continued: "Sure enough, the truth is in the hands of a few people, 1000 taels for the second time."

Speaking of this, the expert in appreciating treasures sighed helplessly.

After another moment, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth, like a girlfriend who had just been coaxed. She was still crying a second ago, but when she saw the delicious food you bought her, she gradually changed from Sadness turns joyful.

"Then we have to congratulate this visionary and wealthy friend..."

He didn't wait for Assassin Jianbao to finish speaking, nor did he wait for the hammer in her hand to drop.

"2000 taels!"

A faint voice came from the audience, and everyone turned their attention to the young man sitting in the corner.

"My God, 2000 taels! Is this man okay?"

"I think he's just a country bumpkin who doesn't understand anything!"

"Why can't we capture the happiness of the rich now?"

……

The originally silent scene under the stage exploded in an instant.Even the woman standing on the stage about to drop the hammer didn't react for a while, and stared blankly at Yi Xifeng, who was dressed as a horse thief.

However, this appraiser is a person who has seen the world after all. After a slight smile, he continued: "Some things, you can only realize their importance when you buy them!"

As she spoke, she cast a wink at Yi Xifeng who was in the distance.

"2000 taels, the first time!"
