Chapter 52

Just when everyone thought that it was almost over, a man's voice came out again from the VIP room with the windows closed.

"12 taels."

As soon as these words came out, Qu Renjie, who was already emotionally agitated, spat out a mouthful of black blood!Passed out!
"Master, son!"

The servant in Tsing Yi shouted: "Come on, the young master has fainted, come on!"

Not long after, someone went up and carried him down, and everyone sighed for a while.

"Mr. Qu is known as the number one son in the capital. He has both ability and political integrity. Why can't you stand this little excitement?"

"That's to say, the auction is meant to be exciting, so don't come if you can't stand it!"

"Isn't it? But looking at him like this, he's a bit abnormal. It can't be that he was injured himself."

"Huh? If you say that, it might be true. Otherwise, why would he bid for that jug of wine?"

There was a lot of discussion among the people, but their guesses were pretty close.

In the VIP room with the windows tightly closed, Lin Ziyi was coldly watching Qu Renjie who was being carried out.

"Master, do you want to follow!" Mu Gu whispered.

The reason why Qu Renjie was injured was because of the general!
Two hours ago, they got a tip that someone wanted to assassinate Lin Chang who was imprisoned in the dungeon of Dali Temple. Lin Ziyi led his troops to ambush him in advance and caught him.

After a fight, the leader escaped, and he hit him with a palm while chasing him and injured him, and he chased all the way to the auction of the business banquet.

That's why the scene just now happened, and the reason why Qu Renjie wanted to bid for wine was to heal his injuries so that he could quickly recover his internal strength and have the strength to escape.

It's a pity that after falling into the general's net, how could it be so easy to escape!
However, what they didn't expect was that Xia Jin was also here!

Seeing the general looking at the opposite side all the time, Mu Gu understood and said: "Your subordinates will go after him!"

After all, he turned and went downstairs.

Xia Jin was poking her head out to watch the excitement, and smacked her lips, "The present news came really fast! Enough energy!"

It wasn't until the person was carried out and disappeared that Xia Jin withdrew her eyes that liked to watch the scene.

Glancing at the opposite side, he thought to himself, this benefactor is quite rich, paying such a high price for a pot of wine.

However, Xia Jin is a principled person, so of course the price for acquaintances should be a bit more favorable, besides, he just helped herself in disguise.

He sold ten jugs of wine to the Eight Sage Kings for 15 taels.

The general bought a pot for 12 taels, and when the real "Peach Blossom Drunk" is ready next time, give him some.

Xia Jin was thinking like this, but she didn't know that Lin Ziyi was looking at her suspiciously at this moment.

how did she get in
Why are you still with the Eight Sage Kings?
Moreover, she just raised the price, is she serious!

All these things together have changed his view of Xia Jin.

She knew that Xia Jin had her own ideas, different from other women, she was good at cooking, and she was determined to get rich.

However, this is too fast!

None of the people who can stand here are ordinary people, let alone a VIP seat!
No matter how you think about it, it's wrong!
And considering all the conditions, only one conclusion can be drawn, that is, Xia Jin has a close relationship with the Eight Sage Kings!
Xia Jin shivered suddenly, and thought to herself, there is no air conditioner here, why do I suddenly feel blown by the cold wind?
How did she know that at this moment, someone is already imagining some pictures that are so irritating that people will not pay for their lives.

At the auction site, the chaos caused by Qu Renjie's fainting and being carried away just now has calmed down.

Continue to start the auction, and now the auction is no longer some things, but the resources Li Yuze said.

Xia Jin counted them one by one. The resources include medicinal materials, clothing, pig iron, charcoal, etc...

Among them, the most intense auctions are medicinal materials and pig iron. In this era of cold weapons, these two things are undoubtedly the most valuable!

Later, when it was the turn of some living resources, there were significantly fewer bidders.

"These are the spices that the Zhou family obtained from a small island this time. They are pepper, cinnamon, cloves, benzoin, frankincense, agarwood, tulips, styrax, and dipterocarp. Each serving weighs ten catties. I will come out next time." You have to wait until next month, so if you want anything, just let go and bid! The starting price is 5 taels!"

Qin Haoou looked at the wooden box on the table with bright eyes, and said excitedly:

"These spices belong to the entire capital, no, they are reserved for the entire Yan Kingdom for a month. On weekdays, there will be spice merchants auctioning them off at business banquets, and then sell them at high prices to merchants from all over the world. When we go to buy them, the price will It will be ridiculously expensive, and even if you pay a high price, you will have to rely on connections to buy it!"

Xia Jin looked at the red box on the auction stage. As Qin Haoou said, it is difficult to buy spices in Yan Country, because most of the spices are purchased from abroad.

Because the quantity is scarce and the price is inflated, it does not enter the homes of ordinary people. It can only be seen in the kitchens of big restaurants and the kitchens of dignitaries.

And this kind of monopoly in the form of auctions makes it common that spices cannot be bought in the market.

It's no wonder Qin Haoou is so excited!

"Five thousand and 100 taels!" A seasoning merchant raised the price.

"Fifty-five thousand!" Xia Jin raised the price.

Her Food God Hall will open soon, and she just needs these seasonings!Moreover, Deshenglou also needs seasoning.

These auctions are just enough for the consumption of their master and apprentice.

The seasoning merchant is a fat man with a beer belly, a pair of frog eyes, a wide mouth, and a hunchback, a bit like a green frog emoji.

He glared at Xia Jin, as if hinting to him, this thing is him, don't move.

"6000 taels!" he added.

Spice Xia Jin is determined to win, and has no time to argue with him.

"8 taels!"

As soon as the price came out, the seasoning merchant snorted coldly and sat back on his chair.

There are usually not many people auctioning seasonings. Every time the price of seasoning merchants is within 7 taels, if it exceeds, it will exceed expectations.

If he doesn't bid, this batch of spices will be auctioned by Xia Jin!
After the auction was over, Xia Jin went downstairs and went to the backstage to settle the settlement. As soon as she entered, she bumped into Lin Ziyi.

"You came just in time!" The accountant came over.

"Please come here and settle the accounts." He made a gesture of invitation.

Sitting opposite Lin Ziyi, Xia Jin looked up at him cautiously, and saw that he was looking at her coldly.

Xia Jin gave a dry laugh to ease the tense and slightly awkward atmosphere. Under the professional transaction process of Mr. Accountant, she and Lin Ziyi paid the money and delivered the goods.

Fortunately, Lin Ziyi didn't say anything more, took the jug, stood up and walked out, but said before leaving:
"I'll be there tonight, you'd better get ready!"

then left...

Xia Jin twitched the corner of her mouth, what is this for? Hey, at least make it clear before leaving!
