The pastoral concubine of space

Chapter 103 The First Auction

Feng Yunxiu and Xiao Yunchu took Zichen Zixi to sit in the private room on the second floor when they were bustling outside and setting off firecrackers. The private room happened to be the best one facing the auction platform downstairs. The location, lowering your head, you can have a clear view of the entire lobby on the first floor.

Seeing more and more guests coming in, all the vacant seats were soon filled up, Xiao Yunchu's expression was quite happy, these people all came to give her money, and what she needs to pay is free sweeps in the last days A bunch of high-quality and cheap daily necessities.

Zichen Zixi had never seen such a lively scene before, and now she leaned in front of the window and pointed at the people below, talking in a low voice, looking very excited.

Taking advantage of their inattention, Feng Yunxiu hugged Xiao Yunchu's waist and kissed her on the cheek, and said with a smile asking for credit, "How is it? I'm doing pretty well, right?"

Xiao Yunchu was in a good mood, and he didn't deliberately pick on his thorns, and admitted frankly: "It's not bad." The interior decoration of Wanbaolou was unexpectedly low-key, but it showed the background everywhere, and there was no trace of vulgarity similar to nouveau riche.

She didn't say anything about the floor requirements or layout, but the "homework" that Feng Yunxiu handed in was very in line with her wishes, and even exceeded expectations.

There are three floors in Wanbao Building. At the front of the first floor is a raised auction platform. Right in front of it is a total of [-] elegant seats. There are a total of [-] tables with four soft chairs per table. On both sides of the auction platform, They are ordinary seats placed side by side, one row after another, with a total of two hundred seats on both sides.

Since today is the first day of opening, in order to increase the popularity as soon as possible and let more people spread the name of Wanbaolou, we specially added [-] seats behind the ordinary seats.

There are ten private rooms on the second floor, and the third floor is the rest room for the internal staff, as well as the storage place for the 'treasures'. The guests who took the auction also received the auction items on the third floor, including bartering, or Open consignment babies are all carried out here.

Of course, if outsiders want to use Wanbao Building to auction off their treasures, they will have to pay an intermediary fee.

Today's total of more than 300 admission tickets of different levels has already made Xiao Yunchu a fortune.

Even a mere standing ticket costs one tael of silver, and the rest can't be doubled?Generally, it is two taels of silver, and the private room is five taels of silver, and the private room above costs 20 taels of silver.

For rich people, this amount of money is not worth mentioning, but if you consolidate the money, there is still 1000 taels of silver, and the net income is 1000 taels without selling anything. This money is as if it came for nothing.

If an auction is held every day, wouldn't it be 30 taels a month?

It's a pity that this is just a little bit of her imagination. How could the auction be held every day? Once everything becomes flooded, it will be worthless.

"Since I did a good job, can I be rewarded?" Feng Yunxiu lowered his voice and deliberately blew into her ear.

Xiao Yunchu covered his ears and glared at him, then snorted softly, "I will reward you for your hard work when it's over."

Feng Yunxiu chuckled twice, rubbed the back of her hand with the other hand, then scratched her palm lightly, and winked at her: "What kind of hard work do I want, Xiao Chu will definitely You know, you won’t let me down, right?”

"..." Xiao Yunchu just pretended he didn't hear, and secretly pinched his waist, "You're so serious! It's about to start! Xiaochen Xiaoxi, you also come and sit down."

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the door of Wanbao Building was closed by the staff, and a person came up on the auction stage, and the slightly noisy voices around gradually died down.

This person was a middle-aged man who had just greeted visitors outside. Before when they were outside, everyone subconsciously thought that this person was the shopkeeper of Wanbao Building. Now when the other party spoke, they realized that they had guessed wrong, at least a little bit off.

"Hello dear guests, my surname is Zhou, and I am the auctioneer of Wanbaolou. Zhou will be in charge of today's auction. Zhou knows that you are very curious about how confident Wanbaolou is to be able to name such a name, so Zhou will stop talking nonsense to delay the returning guests' time, and just briefly explain the auction rules, and we will start the auction soon."

The rules of the auction are very simple. It is nothing more than asking all the distinguished guests who have received several wooden signs after entering the venue. If the corresponding silver taels cannot be paid in the end, the customer will not only have to pay a fine, but the lot will also be unsold, and the auction will continue until the next auction.

A list of items is prepared on the table in the private seat and the private room, which lists the basic introduction, name, function, and auction number of the items to be auctioned this time.

After introducing all these, the auctioneer surnamed Zhou directly announced loudly: "The first auction of Wanbao Building starts now! The first lot is listed! Lighter!"

Soon, a clerk put the lighter on an exquisite small wooden tray and brought it up on the stage with both hands in his hands. Xiao Yunchu couldn't help laughing when he saw the other party's cautious and serious look, because this lighter, to be honest, was the same as the one in the small shop before. The kind of cheap cheap ones that sell for two yuan each.

But at this moment, when the auctioneer Zhou—the former treasurer of Linglong Pavilion in Hongye Town—introduced the functions of the lighter to the guests, the people present looked at the liquid inside that was exposed from the side of the lighter, and all exclaimed, with faces all over the place. It was also full of unbelievable, as if I really saw some rare treasure.

What about liquid butane, and they won’t understand what it is. She only told shopkeeper Zhou to explain that this product has certain dangers. Be sure to avoid direct sunlight, extrusion or collision, so as to avoid unnecessary damage. s damage.

Because of these shortcomings, and it was the first hot auction, the selling price of the lighters was not particularly high, and the average price of each lighter was only about 100 taels.

That's right, every one of them, because the lighters she took out this time were not just one, but a whole group of 80. Each time I took a pair, it took a total of ten shots before the end. The initial price was only 150 Two, everyone felt that it was almost out of stock, and the price soared all the way to around [-] taels.

After that, I photographed other items one after another, basically the ones that Feng Yunxiu had seen before, such as alarm clocks with simple batteries, small fans, household scales, metal folding umbrellas, hand-operated flashlights and so on.

Each of them will be demonstrated by the shopkeeper Zhou himself, which can bring a lot of shock to the guests, and the exclamations one after another have not stopped. Those young masters with official background who still held their own identities at the beginning were excited for several times. For the first time, I can't wait to rush to the auction table to play with those things in my own hands.

When calling for prices, she often forgot to hold up her placard and shouted the price with her mouth open, which made shopkeeper Zhou bother to maintain order with the loudspeaker she kindly gave her.

As a result, the magic of the loudspeaker attracted a lot of attention as expected, and some people shouted to buy the loudspeaker with banknotes, and the scene got out of control.
