Chapter 459: Treasures from the God's Tomb
Su Nuan nodded, "I want to take a picture. This is a rare sight. After all, I can't go to the snowy mountains right now."
Yang Yue asked in surprise: "Are you going to find the God's Tomb?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, I will definitely go if I have the chance."
Yang Yue quickly shook her head, "No, no, it's too dangerous. Think about it, so many noble families have sent people there, but only one in ten survives. Very few can come back alive."
Boss Bai also nodded. "That's right, it's not worth it. If you want treasures, it's better to go to the auction. You can tell the people at the auction house what you need and how much you want to pay, and they will help you find it."
Su Nuan shook her head, "No, life cannot be dull, it must be vigorous and exciting."
Yang Yue glanced sideways, "Are you going to die in a spectacular way?"
Su Nuan laughed, "That was also very grand."
Yang Yue was speechless. She didn't know how to persuade him so she simply gave up.
Since Su Nuan said there was a chance, she probably wouldn't have the chance to go, as her family would definitely stop her.
Boss Bai didn't say much. He felt that not everyone could go to find the tomb of the gods. No matter how powerful Su Nuan was, it was impossible for her to go there. She might be someone's daughter, and her family would not let her do anything wrong.
Su Nuan looked at Yang Yue and then at Boss Bai. It was obvious that these two people thought she was joking, but she really wasn't joking.
Forget it, I won’t tell them, to avoid another war of words.
Yang Yue said: "I want this."
Su Nuan looked over and saw a jade sink with the word "Han Yu" written on it.
"What's the use of this cold jade sink?"
Yang Yue replied: "You can fill it with water. Isn't it nice to drink cold water on a hot day?"
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "Just looking at the price, I know it's not a good jade. It's better to drink freshly pumped well water."
Yang Yue smiled and said, "It's for pets. They can only cool down by drinking some ice water."
Su Nuan said "oh", it was quite luxurious to feed animals with a cold jade trough.
Boss Bai said, "I want this pearl tripod."
Su Nuan looked over and saw a wooden tripod inlaid with pearls, some black and some pink.
She looked at the reserve price again and couldn't help but exclaim, "What? One hundred thousand taels of pure silver?"
If it was 100,000 taels of crude silver, it would be reasonable, but how many pearls can be bought with 100 taels of pure silver?
Boss Bai said, "This price is right. After all, I can dig out the pearls and make them into jewelry. I can sell them for double the price."
Su Nuan shook her head. "This is just the reserve price. If someone competes with you for it, you won't make much money. Besides, the price is pure silver, not coarse silver. It's not worth it."
Boss Bai pondered for a moment and said, "Well... my old rivals will definitely raise the price, but if I don't bid, there will be no new jewelry, which is also troublesome."
Su Nuan comforted him, "It's just pearls. I have plenty of them. Prepare the gold and I'll sell it to you. I guarantee it's good quality and cheap."
Boss Bai hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want gold bars or ingots? I don't have many of these, but I have a lot of pure gold items passed down from my ancestors. Is that okay?"
Su Nuan's eyes lit up. She loved this golden thing. "Okay, okay. I love anything as long as it's gold."
Boss Bai breathed a sigh of relief. He completely believed that Su Nuan still had the pearl because she was a spendthrift girl who could give the pearl away at will.
Su Nuan didn't know what Boss Bai was thinking of her, so she said, "Let's go to the front and take a look. Maybe the things you want have been bought by someone else."
The three of them came to the auction hall, where the auctioneer was auctioning an antique vase.
Su Nuan was not interested. She looked around and found a gray stone trough placed at the base of the wall next to the auction hall.
"Is that the one you wanted to take?"
Yang Yue's eyes lit up. "Yeah, I didn't expect it to go unsold. The things that are there can be bought at the reserve price. One thousand taels, I want it."
Su Nuan, “…”
The man is stupid and has a lot of money. He spent one thousand taels on a broken stone trough.
Boss Bai wasn't optimistic about the stone trough either. He asked, "Don't you have cold jade? Why do you need this? At the very least, have your servants work harder and draw more water from the well."
Yang Yue smiled and said, "Pets' stomachs are delicate, so they can't be too cold. Just a little lower than their body temperature will be fine. If you use cold jade or well water, it will hurt their stomachs."
Su Nuan didn't say anything, as if the animals she raised were all tough and could chew ice and snow, let alone ice water.
Boss Bai shook his head and said, "The pampered child is weak, and this pampered pet is also weak. Why bother?"
Yang Yue whispered in Su Nuan's ear, "Only those that are difficult to raise are called delicate. Delicate pets need regular health checkups and buy food that we cook. That all costs money."
Su Nuan chuckled, "Yeah, sister is absolutely right."
The space spirit suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I suddenly realized something. Those pet shops that gave away pet cats for free in the past, weren't they just making money from the money behind them?"
Su Nuan nodded secretly, "Yes, it's a pity that we can't do this business."
The space spirit asked: "Why?"
Su Nuan replied: "Do you think the animals I've raised would get sick? Or become spoiled?"
Space Spirit, "..."
Su Nuan really can't do this business, it will definitely lose money.
The three of them sat down on chairs in the hall, each with a chair and a small table.
As soon as they sat down, someone brought them a sign, which was probably used to bid prices.
Yang Yue's waiter said, "Bring three cups of fragrant tea and three of the best snacks."
"And that stone trough, I bought it, take it away."
The waiter responded, "Yes."
After a while, someone carried away the stone trough and served three servings of snacks.
Su Nuan looked at the five oval-shaped pastries on the plate. They looked like white sugar cakes, so stingy.
Yang Yue said, "This is cloud cake. Come and try it. You're lucky today. You can't usually get it."
Su Nuan picked up a piece, which was soft and slightly elastic. It felt like biting a cotton ball. It was very sweet and melted in the mouth, just like eating a cloud.
The space spirit took a surreptitious bite and then said disappointedly, "It's just marshmallows, cloud cakes, huh..."
Su Nuan was speechless. This thing was just for fun, nothing memorable.
At this time, the auctioneer on the stage said: "Now auctioning are the jars, boxes and scrolls found on the God's Tomb Mountain."
Su Nuan was stunned. Are these considered one item or auctioned separately?
The auctioneer continued, "These items were originally going to be auctioned separately, but the owner was anxious to get back home, so they were auctioned together."
"The reserve price is 100,000 taels of silver, and the increment is 10,000 taels. If the goods fail to sell, the owner will take them back."
Su Nuan touched his chin. It was impossible to wait for it to fail to sell and then buy it at a low price. These things were like opening a blind box. What if there was nothing inside?
Seeing no one bid, the auctioneer on the stage continued, "I think everyone knows about the magical treasures found in the God's Tomb. Many of these magical treasures are actually quite unremarkable, like a jar that can hold anything, or a thimble that can hold fresh fruit. These are all unremarkable treasures that can accomplish great things."
Su Nuan sighed, he is worthy of being an auctioneer, with such a mouth, he can even say that the stones picked up from the ground were dropped by Nuwa when she repaired the sky, right?
