Just when everyone thought that it was almost over, a man's voice came out again from the VIP room with the windows closed.
"One hundred and twenty-one thousand taels."
As soon as these words came out, Qu Rongjie, who was already emotional, spit out a mouthful of black blood and fainted!
"Master, Master!"
The green-clothed servant shouted: "Here comes someone, the young master fainted, someone comes here!"
Not long after, someone came up and lifted him down, and everyone was in awe for a while.
"Young Master Qu is known as the number one son in the capital. He has both political integrity and talent. Why can't you stand this little excitement?"
"That is to say, the auction is meant to be exciting. If you can't stand it, don't come!"
"That's right, but looking at him like this, it's a bit abnormal. It's not like he was injured."
"Huh? If you say that, it might be true. Otherwise, why would he bid for that jug of wine?"
Everyone was talking about it, and they all guessed about it.
In the VIP room with the windows closed, Lin Ziyi was coldly watching Qu Rongjie being carried out.
"Master, do you want to follow me?" Mu Gu whispered.
Qu Rongjie was injured because the general hit him!
Two hours ago, they received a tip that someone wanted to assassinate Lin Chang, who was imprisoned in the dungeon of Dali Temple. Lin Ziyi personally led his troops to ambush him in advance and caught him.
After a fight, the leader ran away. When he chased him, he hit him with a palm and injured him. He chased him all the way to the business banquet auction.
Thus, the scene just happened, and the reason why Qu Rongjie wanted to bid for wine was to heal his wounds, so that he could quickly regain his internal strength and have the strength to escape.
It's a pity that if you fall into the general's net, you can't escape so easily!
However, what they didn't expect was that Xia Jin was also here!
Seeing that the general was looking at the opposite side, Mu Gu understood and said: "My subordinates will go after him now!"
After that, he turned around and went downstairs.
Xia Jin poked her head out to watch the excitement and smacked her lips, "The retribution of this world came so quickly! It's so exciting!"
It wasn't until the person was carried out and the shadow was gone that Xia Jin withdrew her eyes that liked to watch the excitement.
He glanced at the other side and said to himself, this sponsor is quite rich, and he paid such a high price for a bottle of wine.
However, Xia Jin is a principled person, so of course the acquaintance price should be a little more favorable, and besides, he just helped her in disguise.
Sold to the Eight Wise Kings for ten jugs of wine and 150,000 taels.
He bought a pot of flowers for 121,100 taels. When the real "Peach Blossom Drunk" is brewed next time, give him some as a gift.
Xia Jin was thinking this, but she didn't know that Lin Ziyi was looking at her doubtfully at this moment.
How did she get in?
Why are you still with the Eight Wise Kings?
Moreover, the price just increased, is she serious?
Taken together, these things have refreshed his view of Xia Jin.
She knew that Xia Jin had her own ideas. Unlike other women, she was good at cooking and motivated to get rich.
However, this is too fast!
None of the people who can stand here are ordinary people, and they are even on the VIP table!
Nothing is right no matter how you think about it!
Taking all the conditions into account, we can only draw one conclusion, and that is that Xia Jin has a close relationship with the Eight Wise Kings!
Xia Jin shivered suddenly and thought to herself, there is no air conditioning here, why did she suddenly feel like she was being blown by the cold wind?
Little did she know that at this moment, someone was already imagining some scenes that would make people angry and not worth their lives.
At the auction site, the chaos caused by Qu Linjie fainting and being carried away has subsided.
The auction continues, and what is being auctioned now is no longer some things, but the resources that Li Yuze mentioned.
Xia Jin counted them one by one. The resources include medicinal materials, clothing, pig iron, charcoal, etc...
Among them, the most intense bidding was for medicinal materials and pig iron. In this era of cold weapons, these two items were undoubtedly the most profitable!
Later, when it was the turn of some living resources, the number of bidders was obviously much less.
"These are the spices that the Zhou family obtained from a small island this time. They are pepper, cinnamon, cloves, benzoin, frankincense, agarwood, tulip, styrax, and dipterocarp. Each portion weighs ten kilograms. We will sell it next time.
We have to wait until next month. If the host wants it, just go ahead and bid! The starting price is 50,000 taels!"
Qin Haoou looked at the wooden box on the table with bright eyes and said excitedly:
"These spices are the reserves of the entire capital, no, the entire Yan Kingdom for this month. On weekdays, there will be spice merchants auctioning them, and then raising the price to sell them to merchants from all over the country. If we want to buy them, the price will be outrageous, and even if
Even if you pay a high price, you have to rely on connections to buy it!"
Xia Jin looked at the box. As Qin Hao'ou said, spices are difficult to buy in Yan State because most spices are purchased from abroad.
Because the quantity is scarce and the price is inflated, it has not entered ordinary people's homes. It can only be seen in the kitchens of large restaurants and the kitchens of dignitaries.
Because of this auction-style monopoly, it is common for spices to be unavailable in the market.
No wonder Qin Hao'ou is so excited!
"Five thousand one hundred taels!" A condiment merchant increased the price.
"I'll give you fifty-five thousand!" Xia Jin increased the price.
Her shishentang will be opening soon, and she will use these seasonings just right! Besides, the shishentang also needs seasonings.
These auctions are just enough for the consumption of their master and apprentice.
The condiment merchant is a slightly fat man with a beer belly, a pair of frog eyes, a wide mouth, and a hunched back. He looks a bit like a certain green frog emoticon.
He glared at Xia Jin, as if to hint to him that this thing belongs to him, so don't move.
"Fifty-six thousand taels!" he added.
Xia Jin was determined to get this thing and had no time to argue with him.
"Eighty thousand taels!"
At this price, the condiment merchant snorted and sat back in his chair.
Because there are usually not many people auctioning spices, the price he gets every time he bids is within 70,000 taels. If it exceeds, it exceeds expectations.
If he doesn't bid, this batch of spices will be bought by Xia Jin!
After the bidding ended, Xia Jin walked downstairs and went to the backstage to settle the bill. As soon as she entered, she bumped into Lin Ziyi.
"You came just in time!" Mr. Accountant came over.
"Just settle the accounts." He made a gesture of invitation.
Xia Jin sat opposite Lin Ziyi and cautiously raised her head to look at him, only to see him looking at her coldly.
Xia Jin laughed dryly to relieve the tense and slightly awkward atmosphere. Under the professional transaction process of the accountant, she and Lin Ziyi paid and delivered the goods.
Fortunately, Lin Ziyi didn't say anything more. He picked up the wine bottle and stood up and walked out. He just said one sentence before leaving:
"I'll go over there tonight, you'd better get ready!"
Then he left...
Xia Jin twitched the corner of her mouth, "What are you going to do? You should explain it clearly before leaving!"
