Chapter 464 Is This Woman Stupid?
Boss Bai shook his head. "I don't know about that either."
Su Nuan thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that the thing has its own thoughts?"
Yang Yue asked nervously, "Is there a ghost?"
Su Nuan laughed: "No, it might be a rumor spread intentionally by someone with ulterior motives."
Yang Yue felt slightly comforted, but she was still very resistant to that thing.
At this time, the auctioneer had already started to call out the price, "The starting price is three thousand taels of gold, and the bid will be increased by one thousand taels at a time."
As soon as he finished speaking, people started raising the price until it reached eight thousand taels of gold.
Su Nuan looked over and saw a person wearing a black cloak, wrapped tightly and with a disguised voice, so she couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.
Shopkeeper Bai said, "I suspect the auctioneer of this item is an organization."
Su Nuan asked in a low voice: "What do you mean?"
Shopkeeper Bai said, "Perhaps these people deliberately put things out, and then wait for the owner to put all his wealth in before robbing him. In this way, they can get all the owner's property."
Su Nuan nodded. "It's very likely that something like this, which requires a drop of blood to identify its owner, will fall out when the owner dies, right?"
Shopkeeper Bai nodded, "Yes."
Yang Yue said, "Then you can't take pictures like this. If you do, you'll be targeted and your life will be in danger."
Su Nuan nodded in agreement, "You're right."
Then the next moment she raised her sign and said, "Ten thousand taels."
Shopkeeper Bai, “…”
Yang Yue, “…”
The man in the black cloak snorted coldly and stopped talking. Su Nuan successfully got the item.
She stood up and said, "I'm going to get the items, please wait for me."
Shopkeeper Bai nodded. "Okay, the next ones are all stones. Let me see if I can bet on two for fun."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll get two to play with when I get back."
After saying that, she left her seat and went to the counter, where she paid and picked up the items.
Su Nuan paid the gold, and the waiter politely handed over a brocade box.
"Dear guest, here is a jade pass. You can come in without a ticket from now on."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, thank you."
She returned to her seat with the brocade box. Boss Bai and Yang Yue looked at her curiously.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "It's not like I haven't seen it before, why do you look so surprised?"
Yang Yue said: "I just feel it's very dangerous."
Su Nuan nodded, "It is very dangerous."
She opened the brocade box and took out the things inside.
A golden purse with a ruby as big as a pigeon egg embedded in it. This is the space item. Its exaggerated shape makes you look like a nouveau riche when you wear it.
Next to the purse was a jade pass.
Su Nuan picked up the jade token and asked, "Who wants it?"
Yang Yue shook her head, "I don't want it. I hardly ever come here."
Boss Bai said, "Sell it to me. I come here often."
Su Nuan handed the jade token to him directly, "It's useless for me to hold this. I don't live here anymore and I will leave soon."
"If I come back later, I'll come to the auction to find you."
Boss Bai didn't say anything more after hearing this, "Okay."
The next auction was for various raw stones, and Su Nuan couldn’t tell whether these stones were good or bad.
She asked in her heart: "Space Spirit, can you feel the energy in the jade?"
The space spirit said: "No big deal, I'll go take a look."
Su Nuan took a few shots of stones according to the instructions of the space spirit. Everything was going smoothly, but something went wrong with the last stone.
The Space Spirit said, "This stone doesn't have much energy fluctuation. It's probably because the outer skin was scratched and the energy leaked out."
Su Nuan asked, "What's the quality of the jade inside?"
The space spirit replied, "It's okay. There are purple, yellow, and green ones, but they are concentrated at the tip, about the size of a fist."
Su Nuan didn't expect that this large oval stone, which was two feet long and one foot high, only had a fist-sized jade stone on the pointed end.
Although three-color jade is precious, the price of such a large raw stone is not low, which reduces the price difference.
Boss Bai was eager to try, rubbing his hands together and saying, "I need to borrow some money to take a picture of it."
Su Nuan asked, "How much is a fist-sized three-color jade worth?"
Boss Bai said, "About ten thousand taels of gold."
Su Nuan frowned, "It's already priced at eight thousand taels of gold. It's not worth it."
Two thousand taels of gold is equivalent to twenty thousand taels of silver, which is just a drizzle in Su Nuan's eyes.
Boss Bai said, "This stone would cost 15,000 taels of gold if I bid for it. It's such a big piece, I can at least sell half of it. Half of it would be 30,000 taels of gold, which would double my profit."
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "Go ahead and take the photos. You won't even have pants to wear after that."
Boss Bai touched his nose. He didn't know why, but he believed Su Nuan's words without a doubt.
Yang Yue said, "Then let's not shoot. Let's go. I'm a little hungry."
Su Nuan shook her head, "Wait, if they take the photo, they will definitely untie it on the spot, so we can pick it up."
Yang Yue didn't know what she could pick up, but Su Nuan asked her to wait, so she just waited obediently.
Fortunately, the waiters prepared a lot of snacks, so no one would go hungry.
In the end, the stone was bought by the fat yellow man who was bidding on the wooden tripod for 18,000 taels of gold.
Su Nuan clicked his tongue twice, "Tsk tsk, how foolish of people to have so much money and yet still think life is too long."
Yang Yue chuckled, "He's almost dead anyway. At least he spends money while he's alive. It would be a tragedy if he dies without spending all the money."
Su Nuan nodded, "Let's go and see him cut the stone."
Not only were the three of them interested, almost everyone went to watch.
The master who cut the stone turned out to be a master of internal strength. He took a fine steel saw and started sawing very quickly. There was also a special person who used a bamboo tube to pour water to prevent the saw blade from overheating.
When the stone was opened from the middle, there was a piece of bean seeds inside, which was gray-green and worthless.
There was a burst of booing all around, and the fat man's face turned pale.
Boss Bai laughed and said, "You're really generous. It's nice to throw 18,000 taels of gold into the water and hear the sound."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Yeah, there's nothing left after this cut."
When they started to make a fuss, the people who were watching the show also started to make a fuss. The fat man who was talking about it turned red in the face and walked away angrily with his sleeves thrown.
Su Nuan shouted, "This cut stone is at least a bean seed. Don't you want it?"
Someone laughed and said, "What else do you want? Just take it back and remind him that he lost 18,000 taels of gold?"
Boss Bai also laughed and said, "These scrapped materials will not be taken away. They will be handled by the auction house."
Su Nuan took a few steps forward and asked, "Can I buy this?"
The waiter said, "Yes, but it's not worth much since it's already been offered. The market price is only a few dozen taels of silver."
Su Nuan took out a ten-liang gold bar and said, "I don't have any spare silver, so this is it. Sell it to me."
"Oh, and write a note stating who gave it up and how much I paid for it."
The waiter thought it was unnecessary, but did it anyway.
Someone said, "Is this woman stupid? A piece of bean seed is worth at most twenty taels, and she used a gold bar worth one hundred taels of silver to buy it."
"That's right, I wonder whose prodigal daughter she is."
