Chapter 12 The Auction Begins



Not long after Ye Qiansui returned, the lights in the store dimmed, and as the black veil fell, it meant that the auction was about to begin!

Zhao Ting sat in the box with Hu Nianxin. As the lights gradually dimmed, Hu Nianxin couldn't help but feel excited!

Today, Zhao Ting told me that he had found an interesting place, so I followed him out!

I didn't expect that he brought me to an auction. I had heard my brother tell me many interesting stories about the auction before.

This time I finally found the channel and came here!

Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!

Just when Hu Nianxin was full of anticipation, someone knocked on the door of the box!

In the darkness, Zhao Ting whispered to her to rest assured, then got up and opened the door!

Outside the door was the guard sent by Zhao Ting to investigate Ye Qiansui. When he saw Zhao Ting open the door, he whispered to him which box Ye Qiansui had entered!

"Okay, I understand. Please step back!"

After hearing this, Zhao Ting sent the person away and closed the door of the room!

In the darkness, I couldn't see the expression on his face!

Room 10! It seems his ability is not that great! My room is Room 4. The room number is also determined by the guest's identity and deposit!

The cost of each private room is also different. Just talking about the private room I stayed in, even if I didn’t take any pictures, I still had to pay the owner four hundred taels of box fee for one night!

By analogy, Ye Qiansui’s Room No. 10 only costs one hundred taels of silver, and the seats in the hall on the first floor only cost ten taels of silver per person!

Moreover, Room 10 has not been booked for many years because it is assumed to be the lowest level of the upper class!

After Zhao Ting thought he understood Ye Qiansui's confidence, he returned to his seat proudly!

I will make sure that he cannot buy anything today. When the auction is over, I will go to him and make fun of him!

"Who's coming?"

Hu Nianxin asked doubtfully after seeing Zhao Ting return!

"It's okay, they knocked on the wrong door!"

Zhao Ting casually brushed the matter aside!

Hu Nianxin was still thinking about the handsome young man she had just met, so she didn't pursue the matter any further!

Ye Qiansui looked at the 10 lanterns placed above his head, thinking about the rules that the boss had mentioned before!

If you see something you like, you can light up your headlamp and use the remaining lanterns to bid!

When all ten lanterns are named, the store will become a public auction!

However, in all these years, the store has only lit up ten lanterns once, and that was three years ago. After all the lanterns were lit, they would bid 10 times the price to buy the item!

Moreover, after it becomes a public auction, if you reveal yourself as a big shot who doesn't want to show up, you will be hated and you will be afraid of retaliation after you leave the store!

After all, some people's money is not allowed to be seen in public, and there is no way to get by!

"Okay, our auction is about to begin. We are honored to have you all here today to support us. The first exhibit is already on display!

Everyone, please look!"

Just when Ye Qiansui was lost in thought, the display stand downstairs suddenly became brightly lit!

On the exquisite display stand, there is a small medicine bottle!

Next to him was a middle-aged man who looked very smart and was dressed in luxurious clothes and was explaining!

"This is the first exhibit we're going to show today! The Rejuvenating Pill, as the name suggests, is a medicine that can save people from danger and even save their lives from the King of Hell!

This bottle contains three rejuvenation pills. The starting price is 500 taels! Bidding starts in increments of 100 taels each. Start now!

As soon as the auctioneer finished explaining the rejuvenation pills on the stand, the whole room lit up almost instantly!

"Okay, now it's 500 taels for room three!"

When the lantern is lit, it illuminates the number printed on it!

However, as soon as a lantern lit up in room number three, no one raised the price anymore, because although the Rejuvenation Pill was very effective, it had appeared three times this year!

Moreover, the person who can stay in room number three must be a big shot, so no one will continue to raise the price!

After waiting for a while! When the auctioneer saw that no one had bid the same price within the stipulated time, he continued speaking!

"Okay, no one's bidding any further? Then this exhibit will be sold for 500 taels. The rejuvenation pill will be delivered to Room 3 shortly!"

After the auctioneer finished speaking, he dropped the hammer in his hand, had the medicine removed from the stand, and replaced it with the second exhibit!

When the second exhibit was unveiled, it was covered by a red cloth. From its outline, it looked like a half-meter-high statue!

Just when everyone was guessing about it!

The auctioneer walked to the booth and reverently lifted the red cloth, revealing the exhibits underneath!

Hiss!

As the exhibits were exposed to the public, there was a sound of inhalation in the venue!

There was a Buddha statue with exquisite carvings on the exhibition stand, but this was not its highlight. The important thing was that it was carved from a whole piece of jade!

Judging from the luster of the jade, it is translucent all over and is a top-quality product!

Under the light, it is hard to take your eyes off it!

This must be jade!

Ye Qiansui sat by the window, took a sip of the tea in his hand, looked at the Buddha statue on the exhibition stand and thought to himself!

Sure enough, within a moment, what the auctioneer downstairs said confirmed Ye Qiansui’s thoughts!
