Chapter 339 Poison; Chapter 339 Drinking Too Much Water
Finally, the set of jewelry was bought by a customer on the second floor for 15,000 taels of silver.
Shu Yu glanced at Da Niu beside her and whispered, "Calm down, this is only the first item up for auction. The more expensive items are yet to come."
"Sir, what's the highest price you'd get for this auction item?"
"It's hard to say." Shu Yu actually hoped for a higher price, so she could bring over some things to sell and earn more money.
As they were talking, the second item for auction was brought up.
This is a lifelike double-sided embroidered screen. Such an exquisite screen could fetch a high price even outside the black market.
The problem is that the screen was stolen goods, which is why it was sold on the black market.
Although it was stolen goods, it wasn't as troublesome as the previous imperial gift, so there were quite a few people bidding on it.
Da Niu was completely speechless. He had never thought of himself as a country bumpkin before, but now he realized he was probably a mud bun.
At least steamed buns have filling inside, but mantou (steamed bread) has nothing.
In his nervousness, he took another sip of tea, and then... successfully needed to use the restroom.
Shu Yu's attention was initially focused on the table, and she also liked the screen, but unfortunately she didn't have the money.
She paused for a moment when she heard rustling sounds nearby, then turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Da Niu's face turned bright red, and he couldn't help but whisper, "I drank too much water."
Shu Yu understood. "Let's go, I'll go too."
The screen has already been sold; the next item to be auctioned is an antique vase.
She wasn't interested, and it was a good opportunity to go to the outhouse.
Da Niu let out a breath and quietly left the auction venue with Shu Yu.
The outhouse is located to the side and behind the small building; it's easy to find.
Da Niu couldn't wait and rushed inside. After finally resolving the issue, he let out a heavy sigh of relief, only to see Shu Yu also walking inside.
Da Niu blinked, and just as Shu Yu was about to enter, he suddenly grabbed her, saying, "Wait, wait a minute."
Shu Yu turned around. "What's wrong?"
Da Niu hurriedly pulled her a few steps to the side, his face full of disbelief, "This is the men's restroom."
Although the black market's latrine was well-built and very clean—he almost hesitated to use it when he first entered—it was still a men's latrine.
What kind of state did Shu Yu, a woman, behave in the men's restroom?
“You can’t go there, you go to the women’s outhouse.”
Shu Yu pointed to himself, "Look at me, you want me to go to the women's restroom?" He was dressed as a man.
Da Niu was at a loss, but he absolutely could not allow A Yu, a virgin, to enter the men's restroom.
Unlike women's restrooms, men's restrooms are not partitioned, so you can easily get a sty if you're not careful.
Moreover, there are many people coming to this black market, and they are mostly men. Even now, when the auction is at its most lively, there are still many men coming to the toilet, and it's practically non-stop.
Just as they were standing at the door, two more people went in.
Da Niu took a deep breath, and seeing that no one was around, he quickly pulled Shu Yu to a corner and said, "You go to the women's restroom, I'll keep watch outside for you. I've noticed, there aren't many women coming to the black market, and there's no one in the women's restroom right now."
Shu Yu looked up and sighed. Who would have thought that her biggest problem, which she had encountered when she disguised herself as a man and came to the black market, would be finding it difficult to use the toilet?
