Datang Longya

Chapter 397

In his impression, bear skins are all black, only a brown bear skin occasionally spread from the West Turkic side. (Of course, not pure black, except for the crescent on its chest.)
White has always been respected in the fur world, and the more powerful the beast, the more valuable its fur is.There are so many tigers at this time, why can tiger skins still be sold at a high price?Difficulty hunting is one of them. Moreover, the tiger is the king of the forest, and the word "King" on its forehead is worth a few dollars.

Bear skins are tied with tiger skins as one of the most expensive skins.

Now Tianxialou actually got a white bearskin, tsk tsk tsk, it is conceivable that it will definitely attract everyone's attention.

We have to do one too!
Shopkeeper Yang has made up his mind!

Although [-] guan, or even [-] guan is his half-net worth, but such high-quality goods should not be missed, in order to save face, no matter what, get one!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help scolding the old man secretly, what kind of stupid thing was going on in the notice, and the information about the "white bear skin" was not released until now.He didn't have much time to sell some goods at a low price and prepare more money!
For the residents of Chang'an, the period before the official auction of Tianxialou is the happiest.

Because, in the past, some materials that only went up but not down, will drop severely at this time.Merchants want a lot of cash, so they can only lower prices and sell quickly.

How much is 1000 guan?That's close to 1000 million copper coins!Who would wander around with [-] million copper coins when they have nothing to do?For merchants, their goods are money.

Bear skin, no matter if you can grab it or not, you have to prepare money. Tianxialou will not accept silk from Jiangnan, medicinal materials from Liaodong, raw silk from Sichuan...

In anticipation of many people, the auction of Tianxialou was finally held.

On both sides of the gate of Tianxia Building, there are two rows of maids standing. As long as you come with an invitation to the auction, a maid will come forward and lead the way to the auction house on the third floor of Tianxia Building.

The officials' invitations have now been handed over to their housekeepers.Although they really want to come and see for themselves, unfortunately, today is the Grand Court Meeting, and they cannot ask for leave.

However, those furs can only be distinguished from good or bad in the sun, so Tianxialou can't hold an auction in the evening!

Seeing that the last seat was also filled, the old man on the auction stage smiled slightly: "I'm going down to the downstairs shopkeeper, Lao Yuan, thank you for your support. I think you all know the rules of the auction, so Lao Yuan I also Let’s not talk nonsense, and go directly to the auction.”

After finishing speaking, Lao Yuan clapped his hands, and two servants lifted up a shelf. On the shelf was a polar bear that was stuffed inside and propped up!

Seeing this bear skin, everyone couldn't take their eyes off it.

Damn it, Tianxialou knows how to play, and it actually propped up its fur, recreating the appearance of the white bear when it was alive.

This white bear looks really mighty, bigger than the ordinary bears on the mountain. I really don't know how the landlord in the world killed it and skinned it.

No, these are not the point, the point is...

In this world, there really are pure white bears!
Seeing the shocked expressions of everyone in the audience, Lao Yuan nodded in satisfaction, this is what he wanted!

When he went to the Academy of Arts, he found a few students tinkering with specimens, and one of the good ones even propped up a tiger skin to scare people.Before the auction was held, he thought of this experience, and on a whim, someone filled it with cotton to reproduce the appearance of the white bear.

Now it seems that this trick is very good!

Lao Yuan walked over to pat the polar bear model: "Everyone, Tianlou never tells lies. This bear skin is flawed. The person who killed the polar bear tilted his hand and scraped off the bear's neck. A big piece of hair."

After finishing speaking, Lao Yuan moved the position of the shelf, revealing a blemish on the neck of the bear skin.

The butler of Changsun Wuji's house stretched out his number plate and said: "Master Yuan, although there are flaws on the neck of this bear skin, it will not affect it if it is used to make cloaks. We know the sincerity of Tianxialou. There is no need to lower the price, I will offer [-] guan.”

At this time, Lao Yuan took out the finale's fur in advance, and pointed out the flaws. The intention was obvious, that is, to sell this bear skin at a lower price.

But without affecting the usage much, it is still not a loss for Yaqianguan to win this leather.

Lao Yuan smiled slightly: "We sell the goods, and everyone pays the price, as long as you think it's worth it, eight thousand guan, is there a higher price?"

Everyone in the audience looked at me and I looked at you, and they were a little uncertain.

No one expected that a white bear skin would appear at the very beginning. Although it was very exciting, there would still be a chance to buy a flawless bear skin in the future, right?

The eldest grandson butler looked at the hesitant people on the left and right, and smiled quietly.Long before he came, his master had said that it would be best to buy one to make a cloak.If you want to make a cloak, you only need to take the largest piece of bear skin in the middle, and the flaws at the neck really don't affect anything.

He has thoroughly researched the way of the auction house. Now there is a very good opportunity to buy at a low price. If you don't grasp it, even if you can get it later, it will cost more money.

People, it is best to stop when the opportunity arises. If you take chances, there will always be half the possibility in the end that you will miss the opportunity.

Seeing that no bids were made, Lao Yuan picked up the hammer: "It's the first time for eight thousand coins~"

"The second time of Yachikan~"

"The third time for eight thousand guns! Deal! This bear skin belongs to Duke Zhao's mansion!"

Lao Yuan knew exactly what he was going to call, and being able to bid for the auction item was a matter of great face in itself, how could he not call "Zhao Guogong Mansion" and call the housekeeper's name?

The housekeeper, the eldest grandson, finally resisted the desire to laugh, nodded in satisfaction, and cupped his hands amidst the congratulations around him.

The auction items in the auction house can only be taken away after paying the money, so Lao Yuan asked someone to remove the first white bear skin and replace it with a few ordinary bear skins.

Ordinary bear skins don't look as stunning as white bear skins, but those who are knowledgeable can see the luster of bear skins from a long distance away.

At first glance, these are some very nice bear skins.

Lao Yuan patted the shelf where the bear skin was placed: "Old Yuan, I am also a well-informed person, you can come up and have a look, the outer layer of hair on this bear skin is black and shiny, and the hair below is all fine and thick. The fluff is definitely better than our bear skins from the Central Plains, and even the skins from Liaodong can't keep up with it.

Oh, by the way, whoever is interested can come up and appraise it. "

A businessman stood up: "Master Yuan, to tell you the truth, I am dealing in Liaodong Fur, can I have a look?"
