Thinking of this makes me have a headache. To be honest, it's not just the old man who is suspicious of his people, but I also don't trust those people. The old man is paralyzed and it is impossible to come to half the building in person. The people below
When you meet me, it's hard to guarantee that you won't be doing something secretly.
At this time, the monk yawned and got up to take a shower. I pulled him and told him my worries truthfully. The monk rubbed his face, touched his shiny head, picked up a pair of sunglasses from the table and threw them to me.
, said: "You can wear this at night."
"This is useless."
"Sunglasses are useless, I just think you will be cool when you put them on." The monk held a small mirror in front of my face and said, "Try to put it on, is it cool? By the way, even if
If half of the building collapses today, you won't lose even a hair on your head."
"Don't be too confident." I got angry when I saw the monk's attitude. This was a matter of my own safety. He still looked like a carefree second-generation ancestor. I didn't do much in Jiangbei, but how powerful the old man was, I
He knows much better than the monk. In addition to Cao Shi, he also has very powerful characters.
"Young Master Wei, I'm not joking." The monk saw that I was angry, and he also suppressed the smile on his face, and said to me seriously: "If you are in trouble at night, I will throw my life in the middle of the building."
I looked at the monk in surprise. Regardless of whether this sentence was true or not, it made people feel at ease. I guessed again that since Mustache and the monk seemed to be working alone, they should also have some power of their own.
After Ma Dad also woke up, the monk told us the details of the night. The monk and I acted as Ma Dad's followers. After entering, we mainly identified the Xixia goods and the buyer of the goods.
"This arrangement is good." Ma Dad was quite pleased: "I do have a certain temperament about me. Let's find a decent restaurant later and have a good meal. Only when we are full can we feel energetic...
"
"We don't have to spend any money, half of the building will take care of the food."
"Let's just take a look at this piece of goods?" I was a little confused. Since we know that there is a Xixia Bronze Medal, we should also know its weight. Mustache took us all the way here from such a far away place in one go.
To see the goods and buyers?
"Yes, just take a look, we don't participate in bidding, and we don't compete with others for goods."
The whole day, Mustache did not show up again. The three of us stayed in the hotel. At six o'clock in the evening, the monk drove Ma Dad and I to the banquet at Banbianlou.
It was my first time to come to Banbianlou and I didn’t know its specific location. However, when the destination was still some distance away, the monk stopped the car and said to us: “Mr. Ma, get off the car here.
It’s too embarrassing to drive this car to the entrance of the building on the other side of the building.”
"Let me tell you again, my surname is not Ma." Ma Dad entered the scene very quickly. At this time, he already regarded himself as a wristband. He got out of the car and walked in front with his hands behind his back.
After only walking a few steps, I felt that the atmosphere was a little unusual. It should be said that there was nothing wrong with this street, but the people who appeared here seemed very unusual. The monk said softly not to look around, it is best to be natural. Come today
They are all people with famous names in the circle. If you stare at them hard, they might think you are provoking.
"I'm here to take the lead. What are you afraid of, monk? Now that you've come out, you have to be impressive." Ma Dad wanted to walk to the middle of the road, but the monk quickly pulled him back to the side of the road.
The three of us walked leisurely, and I kept my head low. No matter how much the monk assured me, I still felt guilty, fearing that I might meet the old man's people. In the short distance of 300 meters, at least 100 people passed by us.
There were more than a dozen groups. We didn’t know where they came from, but they were all well-founded people. When we arrived at the gate of Banpianlou, we found that the first people who entered had a small sign with a black background and gold rim. The people in Banpianlou saw
After the sign, they will be guided, which is a bit like a pass.
"What is this?" I turned around and asked the monk.
"Something's wrong." Ma Dad also looked at the monk behind him suspiciously: "Everyone else has that thing, but we don't. If we are kicked out because of this, I will lose all my face."
"Who knows you?"
"You look down on people? When I was young, I traveled all over the world. The friends I made may now be the leader of some place. It's okay if I don't see you. If you see me being kicked out of the door, you think it's embarrassing or not? And
..."
"Okay, okay." The monk took out a sign with a black background and gold rim like a magic trick, and waved it in front of Ma Dad: "We have some too."
The three of us held this sign and it turned out to be smooth sailing. The waiter on the other side of the building respectfully led us through the main building, the garden, and then into another smaller two-story building.
Although Banbianlou has been relocated once, the architectural style and interior decoration are exactly the same as those of the old store, and the various rules of transactions have been followed for decades or even hundreds of years. It is said that these are the rules of old sesame and rotten millet, but
In this era, it is full of infinite charm, and many people just like it.
At the entrance to the second floor, another waiter looked at our sign, greeted us in Mandarin with a strong Hubei accent, and then took us inside.
This small building is the same as the old theater in the past. You can clearly see the situation in the hall by leaning on the fence on the second floor. Our license plate is 68, and we are located on the east side of the second floor.
When we came in, there were already a lot of people sitting at their tables according to their names. Today, half of the building was a mixed bag of people from all walks of life, but they were all influential figures in their own land. Ma Dad also wanted to show off, so he asked in a grand manner
Guys, are Mr. Lu from Shanxi and Mr. Qiao from Shaanxi here? The guy was very respectful and polite. He leaned over and smiled and couldn't tell.
There was tea and exquisite snacks on the table. Ma Dad ate four plates by himself. The monk lowered his voice and asked him to pay attention to his image. There was no such greedy boss in the building.
At around seven o'clock, almost all the tables were occupied. Each table on the second floor was separated by two carved railings. You couldn't see the people on the tables next to you without sticking your head out. Many waiters separated themselves to clean up the mess on the table.
things, and then wiped the originally clean small table until it was as bright as a mirror.
Once all these messy things are done, the dishes are served. Treating the sellers to a meal has been the rule of Banbianlou for many years, which implies that business is impersonal. But this is not a restaurant after all. The dishes are very simple, and most of them are
It's a cold dish, but people here don't want to eat or drink anyway. There is a bottle of Jiannanchun on every table. Ma Dad wanted to drink, but the monk only poured him a small cup, saying that he was afraid of getting into trouble if he drank too much.
After the food and drinks were served, the boss of half of the building came out and clasped his fists in the middle of the hall. He was an old man in his sixties, wearing a royal blue silk cardigan, and he was very energetic.
Eating is just a symbolic process, and there are few dishes, so we are not full. Ma Dad wants to add more dishes, but is afraid that the monk will say that he is too dishonest. After the wine and dishes were removed, tea was served. We leaned against the fence and saw someone there.
A large round table was set up in the middle of the hall, and the monk said that the main show of the evening was about to begin.
This is also an old rule that Banbianlou has followed for many years. They organize goods and call buyers, but there are no auctioneers or other personnel on site, and the details of the goods will not be disclosed in advance. Only people who come to the site in person can see it. One piece
After the goods are put out, any interested buyers can go to the round table to take a seat and bid in turn.
Moreover, Banpianlou will not collect the buyer's bidding deposit before shipping the goods. Everyone can increase the price at will, but they must be responsible for the starting price. If you are crazy at the time, bid the goods at a sky-high price, and then default on the payment later,
Then when he left the half building, he would definitely have lost several parts on his body.
Before the pot of hot tea was finished, the preparations in the hall were already in place. The waiter distributed the auction catalog to each table. As soon as Ma Dad turned over a page, the monk took it away and put it in front of me. I turned one page at a time.
After reading the page, when I saw the fifth item, I recognized the Xixia Bronze Medal in the picture at a glance.
"Is it this one?"
I nodded. I almost lost my life when I saw this thing for the first time, so I was very impressed. But I don’t know how many Xixia bronze medals there are in total, and I don’t know where this piece of half-story building comes from.
Got it from somewhere.
"Just look for it." The monk quietly scanned the people at the scene and said, "We'll see who took the photo later."
Soon, the first auction item was placed in the middle of the large round table. The name shown in the catalog was a fish-head human staff from the Eastern Han Dynasty. A dozen buyers who were interested in this item gathered around the round table to observe it at close range.
After a while, five people finally stayed.
As soon as the five people sat down, someone next to them brought five bamboo tubes to each of them. Four of them contained bamboo sticks in the four colors of red, white, yellow and black, and one tube contained bamboo sticks in the original color.
The monk said that bidding signs are not popular in half of the building. When buyers increase the price, they use bamboo sticks instead. A yellow stick represents one million, a black sign represents 500,000, a red sign represents 200,000, a white sign represents 100,000, and the original color bamboo sign
10,000, but few people will use the original color sticks. When bidding, the bamboo sticks will count if they fall on the table. There is no room for regret. If you give up halfway, you need to put down the bamboo tube in front of you. This is normal and no one will be embarrassed to buy.
Home.
This bidding method is very fresh, looks very interesting, and attracts a lot of people. However, Banbianlou is only responsible for the safety of customers in the store. If an accident occurs after taking the goods out of the gate, it has nothing to do with them. Can you do it in Banbianlou?
None of the buyers who appear in the building are good at it. It is not uncommon for them to use knives or guns to beat sap after they go out. In fact, the winner has nothing to be thankful for, because there is no guarantee that he will be beaten next time, and the loser
There is no need to be discouraged, because next time you can step on others, and there will be no kind people eating this bowl of rice.
The first few items were photographed very smoothly, because they were not particularly top-notch items, and no one was too shy to grab them. Immediately afterwards, the fifth item was put on the table. Of course, the name marked on the catalog was not
The parallel-imported Chiran horse medal is the Xixia set of wrong silver and bronze medals.
The monk asked me to go downstairs to confirm again. I nodded, and while standing up, I took a few glances down from the second floor. At a glance, my buttocks were still on the stool, and I immediately pulled my head back.
