There was a long table covered with a red blanket. Sitting in the middle was a well-dressed Niu Xiaotian, holding a cigarette with his head tilted and fiddling with a gold lighter in his hand. He looked like a very stylish man.
Next to me, Accountant Liu, who was specially invited to attend, was holding a pen and paper, preparing to record the bidding situation.
On the nine small benches below, nine elderly men were sitting respectively, all looking up with their faces raised, anxiously waiting for the auction to officially begin.
The onlookers were talking a lot, and they were all speculating on who would win this feng shui treasure.
"It's really not a will-o'-the-wisp?" an attentive person muttered.
"Looking at Xiaotian's outfit, does he look like someone who is short of money?"
"That's right. If it weren't for the unrest in Fuzhai, he would be reluctant to sell it."
…
Seeing that it was almost time, Niu Xiaotian put out his cigarette butts and banged the gavel he had made last night on the table, "Please be f**king quiet and listen to what I have to say."
The field fell silent, and Niu Xiaotian came up and complained, "Folks, I have lived in the old house for eighteen years, and it has feelings. To be honest, I really don't want to sell it. It's all you who harass me endlessly. No.
It makes people feel at ease.”
"Xiao Tian, if the old doesn't go away, the new won't come. Say goodbye to the past, and then make great achievements."
Ma Gangzhu, who came to participate in the auction, struggled to come up with some nice words to make himself appear to be well-educated, which aroused the sidelong disdain of Ji Changjun next to him. He was just buying a house. As for pleasing Niu Xiaotian so much?
"That's right, everyone is here, just sell it!" Erlu shouted after him.
"The money is all ready!" Kaishun raised his hand.
"I really annoy you to death. Let's stop talking nonsense and just sell it! Now we announce the starting price, five thousand. Each time the price increases, it cannot be less than five hundred." Niu Xiaotian knocked the gavel again.
"Five thousand!" Ma Gangzhu was the first to raise his hand.
"I'll add five hundred, five thousand and five!" Erlu raised his hand.
"Six thousand!" He opened his hands and raised them higher than anyone else.
"Ten thousand!"
Ji Changjun only held out one finger with an arrogant expression, making it clear that he was determined to win and no one should argue with me.
"I'll add another five hundred."
Ma Gangzhu was unconvinced and continued to increase the price without noticing at all that Yu Guixiang's face changed. She was disgusted. Don't you know how much savings your family has?
"Ten thousand." The two donkeys raised their hands, and Yu Guixiang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Twenty thousand!"
Ji Changjun's authority was challenged again and again, and he couldn't help but get annoyed. He turned his head and blew smoke into Erlu's face.
The second donkey was also annoyed! He vomited on the ground.
As long as you have money, I am not bad either.
Erlu's family not only runs a grocery store, but also buys a small loaf of bread and goes around soliciting customers, making a lot of money every year.
"I'll add another, twenty-five thousand!" Erlu became very angry, and his voice was louder than anyone else's.
"You two hundred and five!"
Erlu's wife was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Niu Xiaotian's shabby house, if it hadn't been for good feng shui, would have been worth five thousand at most. Ten thousand yuan was too much, so how could it be sold at such a high price?
"What do you know, you bitch, don't interrupt!" Erlu was furious and was not polite to his wife.
Haha, twenty-five thousand!
Niu Xiaotian was very excited, but on the surface he remained calm. He sighed and asked, "Is there any increase in price?"
"Two, twenty-six thousand!"
The voice came from the side. It was Accountant Liu who raised his hand. Affected by the atmosphere of the auction, he was also moved.
"Why are there still bad rules?" Ma Gangzhu was dissatisfied.
"That's right, we don't do things like this." Ji Changjun and others also shouted.
"No, you didn't sign up in advance, so it doesn't count."
Niu Xiaotian looked very fair, but everyone disagreed. Accountant Liu had no choice but to give up and slapped his head directly, regretting it endlessly.
"Twenty-eight thousand!"
Ji Changjun quoted another price, one corner of his mouth raised, and he added arrogantly: "It's just the price of a good horse."
"Thirty thousand!" Erlu quoted.
When the price reached this high price, the other bidders stopped talking. Only Ji Changjun and Erlu were staring at each other, constantly competing with each other, and no one was convinced by the other.
"Forty thousand!" Ji Changjun gritted his teeth and said.
"Forty thousand plus five hundred!" Erlu provoked.
"Forty-five thousand."
"Five hundred more."
"fifty thousand!"
Ji Changjun blurted out this number, and there was silence around him. His forehead immediately started to sweat, and he felt like he had fallen into a trap.
At this moment, Ji Changjun was hoping that someone would exceed his price, and he promised not to raise the price any further.
However, when Erlu finally raised his hand tremblingly, his wife rushed over to her without hesitation, pressed her hand down, and threatened with tears: "Erlu, if you dare to raise the price again, I will take the child back with you."
My mother-in-law is divorcing you! Don’t believe it, the young and old men will testify for me!”
Erlu's bad temper was finally suppressed by this move. He was sad to lose the blessed house and felt unhappy. He didn't say anything for a long time.
"Is there any price increase?" Niu Xiaotian asked.
The elegance below was silent, and no one could react. How could a dilapidated house be sold for a high price of 50,000?
That’s outrageous!
Bang!
Niu Xiaotian slammed the gavel on the table and announced: "According to the rules, whoever pays the highest price will get the old house. Congratulations to Uncle Chang Jun, you have received a blessed house!"
Buzz!
Ji Changjun's head was pounding. He rubbed his pants with both hands and said nothing. He was still thinking about whether to give up or not!
Erlu's wife was so frightened that her face changed. She pulled the man hard and tried to run away. Even forty-five thousand and five thousand was a sky-high price!
"Since Uncle Chang Jun doesn't say anything, the house won't be sold. I'll keep it for myself." Niu Xiaotian looked happy and reminded: "I'll talk about the ugly things first. I'm sincere enough today. Who will want to be blessed in the future?"
, don’t blame me for turning your back on others.”
In full view of everyone, Ji Changjun gritted his teeth and finally said: "I always do things one by one, so of course I have to buy it. I will transfer the money and go through the formalities immediately."
Niu Xiaotian resisted the urge to burst into laughter. He first gave a thumbs up to Ji Changjun, and then took the lead in applauding. Soon, the whole courtyard was filled with applause.
Without further ado!
Niu Xiaotian called Ji Changjun to go through the formalities, and the two walked into the village headquarters.
Anyue has been listening to the noise outside in the office, and she is also surprised in her heart.
I never expected that Niu Xiaotian's dilapidated house would be sold for a high price of 50,000 yuan, and the big brick house he lives in now only costs 20,000 yuan.
Director An calmly went through the procedures for the two of them. From then on, Niu Xiaotian's old house was named Ji!
Ji Changjun transferred 50,000 yuan, but in fact 49,000 yuan was enough. Niu Xiaotian had to transfer 1,000 yuan back to him as a deposit.
When shaking hands and taking pictures, Ji Changjun's palms were cold, and his smile was uglier than crying. He was afraid that even his intestines would turn green at this moment.
Be a person with credibility!
Niu Xiaotian returned the rest of the deposit, threw a box of good cigarettes to Accountant Liu, and went home happily.
After taking care of the old house, there will be one less hidden danger, and the mage will not have to secretly destroy the feng shui again.
A dilapidated old house was auctioned for a high price of 50,000!
Niu Xiaotian has become the focus of Xingwang Village again, and his popularity continues unabated.
In the afternoon, Niu Xiaotian was in a relaxed and happy mood. He had just returned from the martial arts training ground in Houyuanzi when someone knocked on the door.
Ji Changjun came to the house for the first time. His face was gloomy and he didn't say anything. He sat down in the yard and smoked.
He finally came around completely and realized that he had been tricked by Niu Xiaotian and had become the laughing stock of the whole village, a complete scapegoat!
