Chapter 149 Shizi, can you not make trouble?
When I came in, I realized that the ten taels of silver were just ordinary tickets, and I could only sit in the corner of the hall.
The waiter led them to the table in the corner and was about to leave. Yu Xiaolian hurriedly said, "I have something to auction. Can I meet your shopkeeper?"
Sometimes someone will send rare treasures to the auction house. In order to prevent others from finding out their identity, they will dress very low-key.
When the waiter saw that they were covering up tightly, he thought that the things to be auctioned were not ordinary things, so he immediately changed his attitude and respectfully invited the Yu family father and daughter to the second floor.
Shopkeeper Wang of Jumingxuan saw how Yu Changhe and Yu Xiaolian were dressed, and his eyes lit up. Based on his many years of experience, the tighter the cover is, the more valuable the things you bring are.
Shopkeeper Wang felt a sense of expectation in his heart.
When Yu Changhe put the bundle on the table, shopkeeper Wang's eyes twitched. What kind of treasure is it? There's not even a delicate box?
When the bag was opened, a pile of glasses inside was revealed. Shopkeeper Wang's eyes lit up, "Is this... Liuli?"
Seeing that her father was silent, Yu Xiaolian knew that her father had forgotten his words when he was nervous, so he quickly introduced, "Yes, this cup is called the Colorful Bubble Glass Cup, and there are six cups in a set."
"Glass cup?"
Shopkeeper Wang was lucky enough to have seen a glass cup once, in Prince Jin's place. As for the glass cup, it was his first time seeing it, and it was colorful.
Shopkeeper Wang carefully picked up a cup and looked at the oil lamp. The light shone on the cup, reflecting dazzling colorful light.
Shopkeeper Wang thought that he had found a treasure today, so he said that the tighter the cover was, the more valuable the things he took were, and his ability to see people became more and more accurate.
As soon as the ocean-going ship docked during the day, the treasure arrived. It seemed that these two people had a way of selling private goods.
What does it mean to smuggle private goods on an ocean-going ship? It means that there is either someone from the government or someone on the ship. Shopkeeper Wang carefully put the cup back.
I complained in my heart that these two people just wrapped the colorful glass cups in rags casually, and they didn't take the glass seriously.
"I wonder what the starting price you two have in mind?"
Yu Xiaolian had thought about this problem before coming here. Although colored glaze was rare in ancient times, unlike plastic, it was not available at all. The price certainly could not be set higher than that of plastic.
"One thousand taels!"
It was the lowest price anyway, and she believed that as soon as the colorful bubble cup was put out, someone would be willing to pay more to take it.
Shopkeeper Wang thought they would quote a higher price, but he didn't expect that the price was quite satisfactory, similar to the price quoted for Liuli Zhan.
"Ju Mingxuan happens to have a large-scale auction tonight. At that time, the store will take 5% of the money raised from the auction. If you two have no objection, then I will take the auction away and prepare it?"
Yu Changhe and Yu Xiaolian naturally had no objection. They brought the things in exchange for money.
Shopkeeper Wang gave them a note and put a red stamp on it to prove that he had accepted their glass cups.
"The two distinguished guests are in the private room. There is no need to go downstairs."
Shopkeeper Wang went out and called the waiter beside him, "Hurry up and serve tea and snacks to the distinguished guests in the private room just now. Ask for the best!"
When the waiter brought tea and snacks, the auction also officially started. Yu Changhe and Yu Xiaolian stood at the window on the second floor and looked down. It was the first time for both father and daughter to see the auction, so they were very interested.
.
Shopkeeper Wang was a little excited before he came on stage, because just two days ago, their prince sent someone to deliver an extremely rare treasure.
The reason why they held this auction was because of that rare treasure.
It is said that there were two of them, one was treasured by their prince, and the other was sent to him.
This was the prince's trust in him, so shopkeeper Wang let the news out two days ago that he had got a big treasure, and it was scheduled to be auctioned in two days. If you want a unique collection, come quickly.
He must sell this rare treasure for a good price for their prince.
Just in time for the ocean-going ships to dock and unload some rare items, this auction should be the biggest one this year.
"The first item to be auctioned is a pair of glazed lamps returned from overseas. The starting price is five hundred taels!"
As soon as shopkeeper Wang finished speaking, Yu Xiaolian couldn't help but let out an ouch, the starting price of her glass was set low.
She wondered if this thing was sold in the supermarket for two yuan each, and she felt guilty if the price was too high.
Alas, sometimes you really can’t feel guilty.
"Six hundred taels!"
"Eight hundred taels!"
"One thousand taels!"
"Is there any increase in price? If not, I will sell it to Mr. Yang for one thousand taels?"
"Okay, then it's a deal for one thousand taels, and these pair of glazed lamps belong to Mr. Yang!"
Yu Xiaolian made a rough estimate in her mind. A pair of glass lamps sold for one thousand taels, which was five hundred taels each. If her glass was also sold at five hundred taels, it would be three thousand taels.
The second item on the lot was Yu Xiaolian’s glass. After shopkeeper Wang’s wonderful introduction, everyone started to increase the price.
When the amount reached three thousand taels, Yu Xiaolian was already very satisfied. Unexpectedly, someone else raised the amount again, and the sound was from the one next door to them.
"Three thousand five hundred taels!"
Shopkeeper Wang's head was pounding when he heard this voice. His eldest son, can you please stop causing trouble?
An old man seemed to be competing with the young man, "Four thousand taels!"
Shopkeeper Wang quickly ran a few steps down the stage and called to the waiter on the side, "Go and tell the prince not to increase the amount, just say that the good stuff is behind you!"
Jun Mobai took a fancy to this glass cup at first glance. It was big enough and convenient for drinking water.
Colorful, he likes it.
Are you buying it for collection? Sorry, I want to drink water from it.
The waiter boldly knocked on the door of Jun Mobai's private room and told shopkeeper Wang what he wanted.
Jun Mobai raised his lips in displeasure, "Tell Old Man Wang to stay out of my business."
Isn't he clear about the treasure that Old Man Wang was talking about? He had already seen that thing at the little emperor's uncle's house.
That is, he doesn't care about that thing, but he cares about this glass cup, which is translucent, has special lines, and is big enough to drink water happily.
No one can argue with him!
In the end, shopkeeper Wang's actions did not stop Jun Mobai from spending money, and the glass cup was finally bought by Jun Mobai for 4,500 taels.
Jun Mobai looked at the colorful bubble cup that was just delivered, and said to Fu Qing behind him, "The voice of bidding with me just now sounds familiar."
Fu Qing frowned, "Do you want me to go over and take a look?"
Jun Mobai thought for a moment, "Forget it."
"Girl, this thing is good, not as eye-catching as plastic. From now on we can just sell this, don't take out the plastic or anything else." Yu Changhe said in a low voice.
Yu Xiaolian nodded. She thought the same thing. Liuli was rare, but its origin could be traced. There was no place to produce plastic.
If a powerful person catches them and asks them about the production process and origin of the plastic, they won't be able to make it up.
I guess there is no such thing overseas now.
It's better to be cautious.
A common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade!
While Yu Xiaolian was wandering around in the world, shopkeeper Wang had already taken a picture of the final treasure.
Chapter completed!
