Chapter Seventy Auction Begins
Liu Jun sighed and said: "I've told her before, but she won't listen. It seems like she's particularly fond of that stone material."
Teacher Zhao said: "Oh, but I suppose it won't be called at such a high price either. One hundred and ninety thousand is the limit."
Not long after, Mr. Guo also arrived late, rushing over here in a hurry, "Is it open? Is it open?"
"Not yet, there are too many people, we're waiting." Taobao was a bit speechless. Normally, he looked very steady, but why did he change as soon as he saw the chicken blood stone?
Mr. Guo let out a sigh of relief: "Whew, glad I made it in time."
As they spoke, Tao Baobao and several others followed them in, each looking at the chicken blood stone originals.
"Excuse me, thank you." A man with a half-foot long beard squeezed in beside Tao Baobao and squatted down.
Tao Baobao was slightly stunned, and a strange feeling rose in her heart. She had seen this person before, he was the jade merchant she saw online, and that giant chicken blood stone was bought by him at a high price.
"What's wrong?" The man felt Tao Baobao looking at him and asked.
"Uh, nothing."
At this time, Liu Jun had already pulled Xiao Hua out. Teacher Zhao and Teacher Li, as well as Old Master Guo, were still carefully examining the stone. Seeing this, Tao Bao also quickly followed them.
As people gradually came out, a local turned back and immediately announced that the auction had officially begun.
A small boulder of three or four kilograms was moved out from the house and placed on a red carpet. "The rules are well-known to everyone, I won't say much more. The bidding will now begin." Unlike formal auctions, this one was quite irregular. Everyone gathered at the entrance, chatting and laughing, while the local man acting as auctioneer spoke in a dialect that even Tao Baobao couldn't understand.
"Five hundred!"
"Six hundred!"
……
There was no starting price for the auction here, nor a fixed amount to be called. Everyone wanted to call out whatever they wanted, and an old man even shouted out 'one thousand one hundred fifteen yuan', which made everyone laugh and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"1,305 once, 1,352 twice, any further bids? Sold!"
Finally, the first stone was cast by a middle-aged woman.
Then, another piece of wool weighing about four catties was brought out.
This time, Mr. Guo also joined in the competition and successfully took it down at a price of 1,200.
They took turns bidding on several pieces of raw stone, but there was no intense competition that would lead to a fierce battle. The stones were all sold at normal prices. Moreover, everyone seemed to know each other and was very polite, for example, if someone yielded on this piece of stone, others would yield to him on the next piece of material, which is an absolutely rare scene in auctions elsewhere.
"Ten thousand!" Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Jun's voice suddenly came from beside Tao Baobao.
At this moment, the auction is a three-jin heavy wool fabric, with a good chicken blood color on its surface. It seems that Liu Jun may be trying to bid for a high-blood-volume seal.
"Twelve thousand two!" Chi Dai Er shouted out a bid, closely following suit.
"Fifteen thousand." Liu Jun continued to call out the price.
"Twenty thousand!" Chi Dai'er shouted in confusion, still glaring at Liu Jun with a threatening gaze.
It didn't seem worth it anymore, so Liu Jun shook his head and gave up.
Guo Mei and Chi Dai exchanged a glance and smiled at each other, their expression was as annoying as it could be.
Xiao Huan's small fist clenched tightly, angrily saying: "Dad! Why didn't you keep bidding? It was only 20,000!"
Liu Jun shook his head calmly: "No need to argue with them about this."
