When it comes to serious business, the old man loses his playful spirit, and Zhao Danqing and his second brother also fall silent... Read the latest and most complete novel

"Boy, what's the matter?" the old man asked.

"I'm going to hold an auction meeting. The one who is well-informed and knows the most things in Xingchen Colony is the old man..." Jiang Xingchen said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately changed his serious expression and became sullen again: "That's right, old man, I am almost ninety years old this year. I have traveled all over the country all my life. I have seen... wait!"

Halfway through his words, the old man suddenly stopped and asked, "Shouldn't we have an anniversary celebration? Why did it change to an auction?"

Zhao Danqing and his second brother also gathered around, staring at Jiang Xingchen, waiting for his answer. They were all looking forward to the celebration, mainly looking forward to the chili peppers, which were more delicious than the current roasted lamb leg. They were drooling just thinking about it.

Jiang Xingchen knew what they were thinking about at a glance. He shook his head and said, "Didn't I tell you that peppers can't be obtained in a short time, and the specific location is not known yet... In addition, I have a new musical instrument that I haven't invented yet. What should I do?"

The celebration was a bit far-fetched, so it was postponed.

"Brother, you also postponed the anniversary celebration. After September, can it still be called an anniversary celebration?" Zhao Danqing asked in surprise.

"It's just a name, it doesn't matter. Tourists come to Xingchen Ling for the food, entertainment, and dance here, not for the name..."

While Jiang Xingchen was talking, the old man waved his hand and pushed Zhao Danqing aside: "Zhao boy, don't make trouble!"

Looking back, the old man asked again: "Even if you hold an auction, you won't need me. The poisonous ape's fur, bones, poison sacs, and genius treasures still need my appraisal!"

Jiang Xingchen said: "With just these few things, how can we hold an auction? At most, it can attract high-level people to compete for it... What I want is an effect like a celebration, at least like a chess and card competition, in order to sensationalize the entire empire.

Only in the future can our place become the largest auction organization."

When Jiang Xingchen said this, the old man understood immediately: "Boy, do you want to spread the news and attract people from all over the country and even other countries who have good things in their hands?"

"That's what it means, our Xingchen leader has such influence! And I also checked that the empire does not have a trading house that specifically organizes auctions!" Jiang Xingchen nodded.

The old man hesitated after hearing this. He is well-informed, but he can't guarantee that he can judge everything accurately. The world is so big and full of strange things, and there are many things he has never seen. If he makes a few wrong judgments, Jiang Xingchen thinks

The desire to build Xingchen Ling into the largest auction organization will come to nothing. If you don’t have this level, who will come to you?

After being silent for a while, the old man said: "Boy, if you want the Star Leader to become a large auction organization, I definitely can't do it alone. No one can guarantee that all the items can be identified."

Jiang Xingchen nodded and said: "I know that. But the old man has a wide circle of people, so he should be able to help me invite a few people over!"

The old man thought for a while and said: "There are a few old guys who liked to collect various items when they were young, and rare secret books passed down... However, it is not easy to invite them!"

Jiang Xingchen smiled. As soon as the old man said that it was not easy to invite people, he knew there was a way, otherwise the old man would have directly said no.

"Just tell me, old man, I'll give them whatever they need!" Jiang Xingchen said immediately.

"Boy, you said this, don't feel bad!" The old man laughed.

Jiang Xingchen felt his heart twitch, and said to himself: "No need to ask, there will be bleeding again this time!"

Although he was a little distressed, Jiang Xingchen still nodded and agreed. If this auction is completed, the influence of the Xingchen Leader will be greater and the penetration level will be deeper.

"But old man, you have to tell me in advance that the old guys you are talking about are not members of the families who are unhappy with me, right?" Jiang Xingchen asked a little worriedly.

"Hehe, of course not, our Tang family won't deal with them either... You should be familiar with those old guys, such as the Wei family, such as the Wu family..." the old man said with a smile.

"Wei family, Wu family..." Jiang Xingchen murmured, his eyes lit up, and asked: "Could it be the family of the two army commanders?"

"As the commander of the army, their family is not allowed to have a large territory, so the family's reputation is not prominent. Just like our family, it is very low-key!" the old man said in a deep voice.

Jiang Xingchen cursed in his heart: "Your Tang family is still low-key. Although you can't own territory, you can control the subordinate families and manage the territory for you. I guess these two army commanders are similar to your family!"

When Jiang Xingchen was slandering, the old man went on to say: "The old guys from these two families have nothing to do all day long and are studying this. They must know more things than me, and their assessments are more accurate than me!"

Jiang Xingchen said: "That's good, I wonder what they need?"

"Boy, give me half a catty of your best spring tea, and I promise to get it done!"

"Spring tea!" Jiang Xingchen finally exhaled after hearing this answer. Although spring tea is precious, he only picked one and a half kilograms. But if it is gone, he can pick it again next year. At first, he was worried that people would make paper.

Techniques, sewing machines, grenades, etc. If these are used, it will be troublesome.

Right now, the old man only wants half a pound of top-quality spring tea, and Jiang Xingchen nodded and agreed without even hesitating...

This time it was the old man's turn to be stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Xingchen to agree so happily. He regretted it in his heart: "If I had known that this kid was so happy, I would have paid eight taels!"

The old man was regretting it when Jiang Xingchen pulled him: "Let's go back to the Lord's Mansion! Don't come here to steal chickens, no, pheasants. If you want to eat, just go to a major restaurant!"

"

The topic changed again, and the old man rolled his eyes at Jiang Xingchen and said to himself: "Going to a restaurant to eat, how can you have the fun of catching it yourself... Do you think I want to steal your wild pheasant? If it weren't for the season yet,

If you can't find it outside, why would a ghost come and steal your chicken... Hey, why did I use the word 'chicken'?"

After leaving the Pheasant Garden, Jiang Xingchen strode in front of him. Behind him, Zhao Danqing and his second brother had already pinched the old man.

"Old man, please share some of the spring tea with us!" The two of them made the same request. They both knew that the spring tea was the best, and it was not even the slightest bit better than the tea in the teahouse. But Jiang Xingchen was very good at this tea.

, usually reluctant to drink it, they have never tasted it.

Now that the old man finally got half a catty out of it, of course everyone wants to get some advantage.

"No!" The old man shook his head and refused without thinking. He had been coveting this spring tea for a long time. It was so difficult to get some now, so how could he share it with them. Besides, this tea had to be used for errands.

"Old man, you are so unloyal. You want to steal wild pheasants and we are all accompanying you. It's so embarrassing. Now I ask you for some tea and you won't even give it to me!" the second brother said extremely angrily.

"That's right!" Zhao Danqing nodded his head fiercely: "Old man, don't even think about it. Who usually plays chess with you, who plays mahjong with you, just your brand... If nothing else, if you don't

Give me some points and don’t play with me in the future!”

After hearing this, the old man got angry and deliberately shouted: "If you like to play, don't play. Grandpa, do I still beg you, get out of here!"

However, when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again. He was really afraid that these two people would no longer play with him.

"That's what!" The old man chuckled and said, "It's not that I won't give it, but you don't think about it either. It's only half a catty of tea in total. I want to use it to invite several people. I can't keep it for myself, so how can I share it with you!"

Zhao Danqing curled his lips disdainfully after hearing this: "Old man, please stop doing this. I have been playing with you for three years and I still don't understand you. If you don't keep half of this half a catty of tea yourself,

I write the character Zhao upside down!"

"Yes!" The second brother listened and nodded repeatedly and said, "Old man, please agree or not. Don't force us to call Brother Jiang now and expose your true colors!"

"No, don't... I'll give it, I'll give it! I'll keep the tea leaves for running errands, and the rest will be shared equally between the three of us. That's alright!" The old man hurriedly stopped the second brother.

"Hehe, it's settled!" Zhao Danqing and his second brother looked at each other and smiled, with a look of pride flashing across their faces.

Jiang Xingchen, who was walking in front, didn't notice the movement of the people behind him at all. He was thinking about other things. When he caught the old man stealing a chicken just now, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought of building a leisure manor, and then

Create another hunting ground with some free-range herbivores...

"This must be a money-making business. In the last life, vacations like this were favored by rich people. By then, we can completely position this manor as a high-end consumer... When this period of work is finished, I will tell Grandpa Fu,

Make a complete plan..."

Jiang Xingchen was thinking about it, and he had returned to the new town and arrived in front of the lord's mansion.

Putting aside his thoughts for the time being, Jiang Xingchen asked the old man and the others to wait outside and entered the courtyard. He didn't dare to let the old man know where he stored the tea. This old guy even stole food, and now he is determined to change his ways. If he knew,

Maybe one day it will be gone.

Quietly taking half a catty of spring tea, Jiang Xingchen returned to the outside of the yard, handed it to the old man, and said: "Go back quickly, time is not rich, the auction meeting will be held around the 20th!"

"Don't worry!" The old man's face burst into laughter. He snatched the tea leaves and put them directly into his arms. He didn't even say hello, and he was gone in a flash.

"Haha, the old man really cares about me!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile and turned back to the lord's mansion.

Zhao Danqing and his second brother stood outside in a daze, with their mouths open and eyes wide open, as if they had been struck by lightning.
