Broken mountains and rivers: Sushou restores the universe

Chapter 349 The Auction House

The next day, morning.

Xiao Muying and Yun Qingjin went to the auction house in the north of the city early, and found that the inside and outside of the auction house was already crowded with people, and it was extremely lively.

When they came to the door of the auction house, they were told by the attendants that because the Heavenly Jade was going to be auctioned today, in order to prevent anyone from coming to watch the excitement, all those who wanted to enter the auction house had to buy [-] dollars in auction coins before they could enter. And the two thousand auction coins will not be refunded, and can only be used after the auction item is auctioned in the auction house.

Outside the auction house, Yun Qingjin and Xiao Muying quietly listened to the attendant's explanation, looked at each other, handed the attendant two [-]-dollar money certificates, and exchanged them for two huge square copper coins specially made by the auction house. Only then was he able to successfully enter the auction house.

As soon as the two entered the auction house, what they saw was a very spacious room, even if it could accommodate hundreds of people, it wouldn't look crowded.In the innermost part of the room is a high platform about a foot high. The high platform is not big, and it should be the place where the auction items are displayed.

In the middle facing the high platform is an avenue, and on both sides of the aisle are filled with tables, each row of tables is higher than the previous row, until the last row, the table is built with bricks and stones. The ground is already more than ten feet high.

Each table is separated by three screens, and on the side facing the high platform, there are various bead curtains hanging down, which tightly cover the guests at the table.

Yun Qingjin was wearing a purple brocade dress today, and the ornaments on her body were noble and uncommon. At first glance, she looked like a nobleman.

Xiao Muying was still dressed in men's clothing in black, her hair was neatly tied into a bun on the top of her head, except for a saber around her waist, she didn't have any extra accessories on her hair or body, just by Yun Qingjin's side Like a bodyguard.

After Xiao Muying and Yun Qingjin came in, the servants of the auction house saw that Yun Qingjin was dressed in a noble style and had an extraordinary temperament, so they led him and Xiao Muying up the stone ladder between the rows of screens, and walked to the third floor facing the high platform They were seated behind the table on the left, which had the best view when looking at the high platform.

The two sat down at the table, Xiao Muying casually picked up a piece of pastry on the table and took a bite, said vaguely: "Brother, this auction house is well built, should it be built by the Li country government?"

Yun Qingjin responded with a smile: "I've heard of the auction house in Yanghai City before, and it was indeed established by the government."

Xiao Muying finished a piece of snack in two or three bites, she clapped her hands, and sighed: "The coast of Li country is rich in bath salt, and it is also rich in seafood, treasures can often be found from the sea, and sometimes some maids are auctioned here. Jia Ding, there are a lot of businessmen in this city, so this auction house will definitely have a prosperous business, and it can earn a lot of money for the Li State government. Brother, why didn’t Yun State build an auction house like this?”

Yun Qingjin shook her head, and said softly: "Although our Yun Kingdom is a close relative of the Son of Heaven, its land area is not large, and there are no special products. It is useless to build an auction house."

"That's right." Xiao Muying raised her head slightly, and pondered: "Speaking of it, it seems that only three remote countries, Li Country, Zhuo Country, and Wen Country, have a few auction houses."

"Yes." Yun Qingjin replied: "But only the auction house in Yanghai City is the most famous."

Xiao Muying thought it was right, she nodded and said in agreement: "That's right."

The auction house was very busy with people coming and going, Xiao Muying and Yun Qingjin chatted casually in the small space separated by the three screens, and did not pay much attention to the outside.
