Chapter 317 Auction
Chapter 317 Auction
But under the shopkeeper's instructions, the clerk could only say that the fabric would not be sold at the moment.
But there are still many people who keep coming here to ask questions.
The shopkeeper asked his employees to spread the news that due to everyone's enthusiasm, the cloth would be put on sale.
But since there was only this piece of cloth available, after discussion, the few people decided that it could only go to the one with the highest bid.
When the news got out, many people started to go crazy.
First of all, the pattern of this fabric is very special, and the color is also very dreamy. It is different from the style of clothes of this era. It is very dreamy and touches people's hearts.
In addition, there are a lot of rich and powerful people in the capital. As the saying goes, a falling brick can kill three officials. This shows how many rich and powerful people there are. Many people are not short of money.
They don't care how much it costs or how much it sells for, they just want this fabric, and I like it more than any amount of money can buy it.
When the news of the sale spread, many people began to ask when the auction would start.
Soon the first small auction belonging to the fabric shop began.
This auction is not like a formal auction. They only have this one piece of cloth, so everything is kept simple.
But it’s not that simple, it has a small but exquisite atmosphere.
The shopkeeper was presiding at the front, and many people who came to buy cloth were sitting below.
Those who want to bid raise their signs and bid.
"The auction starts now."
As the shopkeeper finished speaking, the people below began to compete to bid.
"Fifty taels!"
"One hundred taels!"
"Number one, is there anyone else who wants to bid one hundred taels?" asked the shopkeeper standing in front.
"three hundred!"
"This is three hundred taels."
Some people bid very quickly, but the increase in price was not much at a time, and a few people waited without saying anything.
"One thousand taels!"
Soon the cloth came to a very high price.
At this time, many people withdrew from the bidding, and some of the remaining people who had not bid also started bidding.
"One thousand five hundred taels!"
"Oh, this is one thousand five hundred taels. Is there anyone who can offer a higher price?" The shopkeeper raised his voice in surprise.
The shopkeeper's business can also arouse people's excitement.
“Two thousand taels!!”
"Two thousand taels here." The shopkeeper's voice at this time was much louder than usual, and his mood was high.
"Two thousand two hundred taels!"
"Two thousand three hundred taels!"
In the end, there were only three people left bidding.
"Two thousand five hundred taels!" The woman was nervous. Stop bidding. This was all she had.
"Two thousand six hundred taels!"
At this price, one of the three people successfully withdrew.
"Three thousand taels." A person spoke in a flat tone.
At this time, many people were silent. They couldn't even think about the price. How could this piece of cloth be priced at this price?
"Is there anyone who offers a higher price?" The shopkeeper looked around.
"Three thousand taels, once."
"Three thousand taels, twice."
"Three thousand taels, three times."
As the shopkeeper brought down the hammer, the price was fixed.
"Let's congratulate this girl!!" Many people cheered and applauded.
The cloth was packed and handed to the girl. The girl did not ask the maid to take it. She took the cloth herself and walked out calmly under the envious gazes of everyone.
After the girl left, the maid looked around and said, "Miss, there is no one here."
When the girl saw that there was no one else around, she shouted excitedly.
“Ahhhhhh, I got it, I really got it!”
"Hahahahahahahahahaha."
"I knew I could take the picture!" The girl laughed wildly and wantonly.
"Yes, miss, you got it." The maid also responded.
"Miss, let me hold it for you."
The maid saw her mistress struggling to hold such a large piece of cloth by herself, and couldn't help wanting to help her.
"No, I can carry it back myself!" The girl hugged the cloth tighter in her arms.
When the two of them left and went back, Su Mu was in the backyard separated by a wall, silent.
Who would have thought that she just came to the backyard to rest for a while after the auction, and who would have thought that she would hear such a bold smile from that woman.
She didn't even walk far, she just started laughing wildly in the backyard.
This woman is quite interesting, this thought emerged in Su Mu's mind.
"Master." The shopkeeper knocked on the door outside.
"Enter."
"Master, this event was really a success." The shopkeeper came back just after finishing the previous arrangements.
"As soon as the auction ended, many people came to ask if there was any more of this kind of fabric."
The shopkeeper was at a loss for words, how could it be so fast? If there wasn't only this one, they wouldn't have chosen to auction it.
"Master, some people choose to bribe me."
"Oh?" Su Mu raised his eyebrows.
"But master, I don't agree!" The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly.
"I believe you." Su Mu chuckled.
"Please keep the remaining piece of cloth. Wait until the next batch of cloth arrives and then sell it."
"Hey, Master, I will definitely keep it well. I will put it in my room, and I'm sure no one can take it out from me."
The shopkeeper said this while showing his arms, and you could see his large muscles even through his clothes.
"Boss, you are so awesome!" Su Mu was shocked. The boss had so many muscles, which could not be seen normally. He looked like a normal middle-aged man.
"Hehe." The shopkeeper scratched his head embarrassedly, "I am also a member of the Dark Guard Camp."
"It's actually like this!"
She actually didn't know it yet. No wonder the shopkeeper always called her the master. The master called her that. She said that people in other shops all called her County Lady, but this shopkeeper was different. She didn't expect this to be the reason.
"Then how did you become the shopkeeper here?" Su Mu was very curious about the shopkeeper's background.
"Master, I also grew up in the Dark Guard Camp."
Everyone in the Dark Guard Camp is the same. Most of them grew up in the Dark Guard Camp, but some are different. They are not young when they come to the Dark Guard Camp, or they are some big children.
The shopkeeper was the latter. When he came to the Dark Guard Camp, he was actually not young anymore, but they took him in because they felt sorry for him.
"When I was young, I was injured during a mission."
The shopkeeper pulled open the covered ankles, which were covered with hideous scars, and said, "These are the marks left over from the past."
"It's so serious." Looking at the scar, you can tell that the injury he suffered back then was not small.
"Ah."
The situation was not as stable as it is now. Many tasks were actually dangerous, and many people were eyeing them covetously.
"Both of my hamstrings were broken at the time." He thought he would never be able to walk again, but in the end he still stood up.
