Chapter 96 The young man in white who spends a lot of money
The moon is high in the sky and the stars are shining brightly. It is particularly lively in front of the gate of Wangyueju tonight because today is the day of the Immortal Drunk Auction!
Since Wangyuejuzhong's wine has long been famous in the city, and shopkeeper Peng spared no effort in promoting it, the rich and powerful businessmen in the city have longed for this mysterious immortal drunkenness.
In order to attract more people and build reputation, shopkeeper Peng did not choose to auction the Immortal Drunk in the restaurant on the third floor, but directly auctioned it at the door of the restaurant!
As a result, even ordinary people with no money came here one after another to see the excitement and freshness, and wanted to see what kind of wine the Immortal Druid was that made such a big noise.
Seeing the powerful and wealthy businessmen sitting down one after another, Shopkeeper Peng wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "The eldest young master hasn't returned to the Qin Mansion yet?"
The waiter shook his head: "I have been going to the Qin Mansion every day these days, but the eldest young master has never come back since he was taken away by the adults of the Demon Slayer Division.
Shopkeeper, how about we postpone the auction?"
"The time for the auction to be postponed has been announced a long time ago, and the powerful and wealthy businessmen have been waiting for this day. If it could be postponed, why would I wait until now?
That’s it, that’s it.” Shopkeeper Peng took a deep breath and walked up to the person.
He glanced at the dark crowd, and then motioned to the waiter to bring Xianren Zui over.
Generally speaking, before the auction, the host must brag and promote it. However, when Qin Feng and Shopkeeper Peng proposed the idea of the auction, they specifically told them that the aroma of wine is not afraid of the alley, so there is no need to say anything, just let them smell it.
Just smell it.
Therefore, shopkeeper Peng didn't say much and just opened the lid of the wine jar.
For a time, the aroma of wine overflowed and was intoxicating.
"smell good!"
"yes."
Everyone looked intoxicated.
Shopkeeper Peng smiled slightly when he saw this, and then closed the lid of the wine jar, but the mellow aroma that emitted lingered for a long time.
The powerful and wealthy businessmen could no longer suppress their excitement and shouted: "Shopkeeper Peng, when will the auction start?"
"That's it, don't hold our breath any longer, what's the starting price?"
"Everyone, please be patient! Immortal Drunkenness is a treasure of Wangyueju. From brewing to the final product, it requires many processes and consumes a lot of time and manpower, so."
Shopkeeper Peng smiled and pressed his hand, then stretched out a finger: "This wine will cost you a hundred taels!"
When the people heard this, they took a deep breath. What is the concept of one hundred taels of silver? It would take them decades to save it!
Shopkeeper Peng felt a little uneasy when he saw everyone's expressions. He had never heard of any wine that could be sold for one hundred taels of silver.
However, the starting price was not set by him, but what the young master told him before, so he had no choice but to comply.
The powerful and wealthy businessmen looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a bit strange for a moment.
But they were not frightened by the price, and instead started bidding one after another.
"One hundred and fifty taels!"
"Two hundred taels!"
Price shouting came and went, and it didn't take long for Xianren Zui's price to be increased to five hundred taels.
Shopkeeper Peng breathed a sigh of relief. If he messed up this auction, he really didn't know how to explain it to the young master.
As the auction price got higher and higher, a wealthy businessman seemed to have seen the business opportunities of this wine. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "One thousand taels!"
As soon as the price came out, the surrounding area instantly became quiet, as if you could hear a pin drop.
When the others heard this, they all looked at each other and shook their heads. It was just a jar of wine. It was completely unnecessary to spend so much money.
They gave up.
The merchant who shouted out a thousand taels breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He could see the value of this wine. After it was put into operation in Tiancheng and sold, the price would definitely increase several times!
But just when he thought he was sure of victory, an inappropriate voice sounded: "Two thousand taels!"
"What?!" The businessman looked for reputation, and the person bidding was a young man in white who had never made a sound before. He looked handsome, handsome, and had an extraordinary bearing.
And the young man in white is Ya’an!
Shopkeeper Peng swallowed, trying to calm down his excitement, but the joy on his face could not be concealed.
Two thousand taels, that's the profit of all restaurants combined in the past five days!
After the price was directly increased from one thousand taels to two thousand taels, no one said anything. I just thought that the bidder was mentally ill. Is this how the auction price was?
Shopkeeper Peng decided on the price, and the other bidders left cursing.
A group of people still wanted to sell a jar of wine for two thousand taels. They would never have dared to think about such a thing before!
Ya'an ordered Wang Xu to take the immortal wine, and he opened the lid with his left hand and smelled it. He couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that there would be such a fine wine in this small Jinyang city."
Wang Xu nodded: "This wine is indeed good, but the price of two thousand taels is too high?"
"Gao?" Ya'an shook his head: "Do you still remember the Star-Zhaing Tower in Fengtian City?"
"Of course I remember it. If I hadn't followed the young master, I wouldn't have been able to enter that place." Wang Xu recalled.
Zhaixinglou is the most luxurious restaurant in Fengtian City. The officials it receives are at worst the fifth grade, and the restaurant on the highest floor only receives relatives of the emperor.
"There was once a kind of wine produced in Zhaixing Tower called Zui Sheng Meng Si. Someone wanted to buy it for 10,000 taels, but was rejected.
I once drank that drunken life and dreams of death, which is indeed extraordinary, but this immortal drunk, in my opinion, is even better than that drunken life and dreams of death." Ya'an said confidently.
Wang Xu and Mo Lintian looked at each other after hearing this.
The two of them had naturally heard of the drunken life and dream of Zhaixing Tower. It was a magical brew that even Emperor Mingde admired!
But they had no doubts about the young master's words, so they were extremely shocked.
"If this Immortal Druid is promoted by Jubaozhai and then auctioned in Fengtian City, I am confident that it will sell for more than 10,000 taels!
However, as long as the master likes this, I might as well bring it to him to drink when he returns to the imperial capital later.
You put the wine away."
"Okay, sir." Mo Lintian touched his right hand and the wine jar disappeared instantly.
Ya'an paused and then said: "I came here to eat at Wangyue Residence today, and I was full of surprises. In addition to the dish called hot pot, there is also this immortal drunkenness.
I am very interested in the boss behind the scenes here. Wang Xu, please tell Shopkeeper Peng that I would like to meet with his boss at noon tomorrow to discuss cooperation."
"Okay, sir."
"It's getting late, let's go back to Qin Mansion."
Ya'an turned around and stepped forward, followed closely by Wang Xu.
"Speaking of which, how long has Brother Qin been away?" Ya'an asked.
"Replying to the Master, counting today, it has been three days."
"Yeah." Ya'an nodded, thoughtfully.
On the other side, in the lobby of the Qin Mansion, Er Niang was pacing back and forth anxiously.
"Feng'er has been away for three days and hasn't come back yet. Could there be any accident?
I heard that there was chaos in Jia Shang over there in Qi Yuancheng.
This kid really wants to go there at this time."
Qin Jian'an comforted him: "The child is old, so it's good to go out and experience things. Madam, you don't have to worry so much."
When Er Niang heard this, she raised her brows, put one hand on her hips, pointed at her nose and said, "You still have the nerve to say that it was so dangerous the past few days, where did you go, and you didn't come back until noon today!
I see Feng'er, even if you do whatever you want, I will always have to worry about you!
By the way, how much money did you lose when you went out to do business this time?"
Qin Jian'an's expression froze and he quickly changed the subject: "Madam, you are right, Feng'er is a little troublesome. When he comes back, I will talk to you about him!"
At this moment, the voice that made them miss each other came from outside the gate of Qin Mansion.
