Su Yingxiong followed Li Qi's arrangement and called all the people who wanted to transport goods to the Bafang Inn the next afternoon.
For a time, Bafang Inn was crowded and lively.
At this time, Li Qi was on a table in the middle, tinkering with the bamboo pieces in his hand.
"You will send these bamboo pieces to them later." Li Qi ordered Su Yingxiong.
"Brother Li, what's the use of this?"
"Just do as I say, and you will soon know what the use is."
Su Yingxiong nodded, please do as you are told.
After a while, everyone in the hall got a piece of bamboo in their hands.
There are some numbers written on the bamboo pieces, but I don’t know what they are for.
Just when everyone was confused, Li Qi stood on the table.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
Soon, everyone calmed down and looked at Li Qi.
"My surname is Li Mingqi, and I am a close friend of Shopkeeper Su. Yesterday, Shopkeeper Su said that there are many people looking for him to consign goods."
"But everyone also knows that there are only four vacant trucks. Therefore, the purpose of calling everyone here today is to discuss how to allocate these four trucks."
Li Qi said, picking up a piece of bamboo: "Have you all seen the bamboo piece in your hand? There are numbers on it. Now we will enter our auction!"
"Auction session? What is an auction?"
"I don't know what to say."
"What kind of trick is this?"
Just when everyone was confused, Li Qi said the rules: "The starting price for each truck's transportation is one yuan, and each bid is no less than one hundred yuan. The one with the highest final price will get the right to transport the goods.
.”
As he spoke, he shook the bamboo piece in his hand: "During the auction, just hold up the bamboo piece and shout out the price! Now, the auction officially begins!"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. After a while, one person tentatively raised the piece of bamboo. Before the price was announced, Li Qi pointed at him and said: "No. 24! The price is the same!"
When he shouted, everyone reacted, and for a while some people held up bamboo pieces.
"I'll pay twice!"
"I'll pay you two hundred bucks!"
"Two hundred dollars for two!"
…
For a moment, the hall was filled with excitement. Many people held up bamboo pieces and shouted loudly with blushing faces.
Su Yingxiong looked on, and everyone was dumbfounded. How could he play like this?
Tu Boshu, who was standing in the corridor on the second floor, felt very fresh when he saw this scene.
The paper fan in his hand unfolded with a "swish", and the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly raised: "Interesting, what an auction..."
Huan'er stood nearby and said disapprovingly: "This man is really good at cheating money in various ways. He just defrauded the young master of a hundred thousand dollars that day, and now he has started to defraud other people's money."
"What you said is wrong. He is not cheating, but making people pay willingly."
Tu Boshu smiled and closed the fan in his hand: "It's time for us to pack our luggage."
"Young Master is about to set off?" Huan'er asked in surprise.
"Well, that's almost it."
"Great, we can go back to Wancheng soon!" Huan'er said happily.
Tu Boshu looked at her: "We are not going back to Wancheng."
"Aren't you going back to Wancheng? Where are you going?"
"Go to Jincheng."
"Jincheng?"
Tu Boshu said no more, turned around and left with a smile.
…
After the auction, Li Qi's throat became hoarse.
I have to say that the ancients were too enthusiastic!
Originally, Su Yingxiong's shipping fee for a car was only five guan at most, but who knew that it would be doubled several times due to this auction!
Not only that, it doesn’t offend anyone, and everyone participates.
If you didn't win the auction, it's because you are not strong enough and it has nothing to do with Su Yingxiong.
"Brother Li! I really admire you!"
When Su Yingxiong laughed, the fat on his face kept shaking, like layers of water waves.
Li Qi sat on the chair with his legs crossed and rubbed his hands: "Everything has been solved for you. Look..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Yingxiong had wisely divided the money in half and handed half of the money to Li Qi: "Brother Li, this is all yours!"
This little fat guy has a good emotional intelligence and is promising. I am optimistic about you.
"This is too much..."
Li Qi said with some embarrassment: "Since you are so enthusiastic, I can only reluctantly accept it."
"Brother Li, what are you talking about? You deserve this."
He put the money into his bag, patted Su Yingxiong on the shoulder with satisfaction and asked, "When are you leaving?"
"Leaving tonight."
"So fast?" Li Qi was a little surprised.
Su Yingxiong nodded: "Now that the trucks have been ordered, we can set off as soon as the goods are loaded. And if we arrive in Jincheng one day earlier, we can rest in Jincheng one day earlier."
Looking at his expression, Li Qi also understood. It seemed that this little fat man was tired of staying in this small town.
"I have a heartfelt request, and I hope Brother Su will agree to it."
"Brother Li, tell me what you need."
"I want to go to Jincheng with Brother Su. Isn't it convenient?"
"Brother Li, are you coming with me? That would be great!"
Su Yingxiong was so happy that he almost wanted to give Li Qi a bear hug.
He knew very well that if Li Qi was not there this time, it would be a problem for him to leave Jiangyun Town, let alone repay his debts.
And he found that Li Qi was a rare talent.
If you can win this person over to your side, you won't have to worry if anything happens in the future.
Who said the little fat guy is stupid? He is smart!
…
When Li Qi informed Zhang Chuang and Xiao Man to pack their things and leave, the two guys started rummaging around in the room without saying a word.
Xiao Man first took out a bamboo basket from under the bed, which was filled with various pumpkin seeds, snacks, and even dried meat.
Zhang Chuang was no better than her. He first took out several throwing knives from the gaps in the wall.
After inserting the throwing knife into his belt, he took out a small crossbow from under the pillow and stuffed it into his arms.
He was still looking for something here, but over there Xiaoman had already pushed his things into a small mountain.
Li Qi was dazzled, what the hell, such a small room, you treat it as a warehouse?
When did you bring that jerky with you? Young Master, I was so hungry that my eyes were starry, and I never saw you take it out!
Also, what does it mean to put a crossbow under the pillow? Is it to prevent me from killing myself?
Looking at these two careless guys, Li Qi was as big as the other.
Heaven, earth, can you contain these two goblins?
Just as he was sighing, Zhang Chuang came over: "Young Master."
"Well? Is something wrong?"
"Give."
As soon as Li Qi stood next to the Eight Immortals table, Zhang Chuang jumped directly.
I took a double-edged sword from the beam, which was one foot long and weighed more than ten kilograms!
Li Qi swallowed and looked up at the narrow beams...
