Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 178 Dark Shots
While talking, the store's business on the second day officially started.

In front of the shop, there is a [-]-square-meter floor paved with red carpet. On it is a very elegant wooden table. On the wooden table is a square tray of huanghuali. The tray is covered with a red handkerchief the size of a palm.

When the time came, Ah Jiu's shop officially opened.

First, the boss Zhu Jiuye stood in front of the table full of energy. He was wearing luxurious brocade clothes and jade pendants, with his chest straightened out and a smile on his face, and he signaled the bidders to be quiet with both hands.

Then he cleared his throat and asked, "I don't know if Mr. Zhang, who spent a lot of money to get a watch from our shop, is here?"

"It's there."

"Young Master Zhang is here."

"Master Zhang is here."

Before Mr. Zhang could speak, or even show his face, someone had already "sold out" his position. After a long time, he saw a short Mr. Zhang with a thick and dark face like a peasant from the crowd. come out.

"Master Zhu Jiu, here is Zhang Tongchuan. He is the one who snatched the first watch from your store yesterday." Zhang Tongchuan walked up to Zhu Jiu, cupped his hands, and then poked his left hand forward intentionally or unintentionally, exposing his hand. A watch around the neck.

"puff."

When Zhu Changyuan saw the watch he had chosen, he almost slammed his head against the tree next to him to death. Nima, a big man, chose a watch with a red strap for a little girl, which looked petite and exquisite.

Good-looking is good-looking, it is worn on the girl's hand, what does Nima look like wearing it on the hand of you, a thick and thick farmer.

However, except for Zhu Changyuan, no one at the scene felt that there was anything wrong.

Could it be that the ancients were all good at this way. . . . . .

Zhu Changyuan couldn't calm down anymore. The last time Liu Guang purchased from a certain treasure, all the 500 yuan watches were men's models, and only a few women's watches were gifts from others, and all of them were taken away by that product.

Is it that rare things are more expensive?
Forget about it, I heard people around discuss that this family was originally a noble family, and even inherited a title. Their ancestors followed the Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world.

Later, Zhang Tongchuan's father started the official salt business, and was robbed by a female mountain king on the way. Chuangbei gained a huge reputation in the Ming Empire, and the Zhang family naturally became richer and richer under the leadership of the woman.

"Master Zhang, do you think the time on this watch is accurate?" Ah Jiu asked with a smile.

"I don't know if it's accurate or not, but it shouldn't be much worse. I'll find out later with a big pendulum." The pendulum clock was still a rare item in the Ming Dynasty, but it can't be said that it didn't exist.There are several in the imperial palace, and there are also some nobles outside.

"Yeah." Ah Jiu looked at the crowd outside the shop, and said, "Today is the same as yesterday." Reaching out to uncover the red cloth on the tray, there was actually a folded red cloth on the tray, only the size of a palm , with two watches on it, one for men and one for women.

"It's still the old rule. Whoever has the highest price today can choose one of these two watches." Ah Jiu arched his hands and said a little apologetically, "I still say that, although there are many watches in this store, But there are very few such small red models, less than ten yuan, and even if you can get a watch in the future, you will have no choice.”

"Friends who are interested in bidding, please come to the front."

Ah Jiu waved his hand, and all the people in front of the table moved away, leaving an open space.

"I'll pay 2000 taels." A young man in a blue brocade suit walked up to the table with a smile, holding a folding fan in his hand and fanning it around, as if he was determined to win.

"I'm sorry." Ah Jiugong cupped his hands and said, "Young master, wait a moment. Today's bidding rules are different from yesterday's. It's not a face-to-face auction, but a secret auction."

"Dark shot?" The young man in blue was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What is dark shot?"

Zhu Jiuye took out a stack of white A4 papers and put them on the table, and at the same time ordered his servants to take out pens and inks from the room and put them away, saying: "Friends and sons who are interested in bidding can each get a piece of paper here, and then Write down the quotation in your heart and give it to me, the one with the highest price will get it."

"Ah, so?"

The face of the young man in blue changed, and he said, "You guys, aren't you cheating? If you don't tell me the quotation, how would I know how much others have quoted? What about me?"

Although most of the famous nobles in the capital came to the auction yesterday, it happened that the young man in blue didn't arrive in time when he heard that the first watch was taken away by Zhang Tongchuan. journey.

I planned to win the first place today, even if there are one or two blind people in the process who want to compete with me, then I can rely on my status and status to suppress it. With one move, the owner unexpectedly changed the way of bidding.

"My lord, please!" Ah Jiu took out a blank piece of paper and handed it to the young man in blue, and respectfully gave him another pen.

The young man in blue pondered for a long time, and said: "I'm not in a hurry, let them write first." Holding a blank paper, he retreated into the crowd.

"I'll come." A shrunken man in his 20s stepped forward. Although he was dressed luxuriously, he had no inner temperament. At first glance, he didn't look like a scholar, or even one of those noble queens.

"Please." Ah Jiu handed over the pen and paper.

The man drew a few times on the paper with a pen in his hand, but no one could see what he wrote clearly.

"I come."

"I am coming too."

. . .

After a while, dozens of people wrote, and the written pieces of paper were folded together and handed to Ah Jiu.

"Haha, I'm coming." A rough voice came, and everyone took a closer look, it was still the guy named Zhang Tongchuan.

"Didn't you already buy a piece of this product yesterday? Why are you here today?"

"Yeah, even if you have money, you can't bully people like this!"

"Shopkeeper, no, Zhu Jiuye, I object. This guy bought a piece yesterday, so he can't be allowed to participate in the auction. It's not fair!"

There was a lot of discussion below, Zhang Tongchuan waited with wide-eyed eyes, turned around and said loudly: "Fart, who stipulates that I can't buy again today after buying yesterday. Don't tell me you will be hungry today after eating yesterday."

In addition to being rich, Zhang Tongchuan also has power. A family from the time of Zhu Yuanzhang to Emperor Chongzhen has been enduring for a long time, which is enough to prove his energy.

Moreover, operating official salt, can ordinary people have this ability?Therefore, even if Zhang Tongchuan faced the young man in blue, he was not very afraid, because the young man in blue could not do anything to him.

"Master Zhu Jiu, this isn't fair."

Seeing that they couldn't persuade him, everyone started their official career to persuade Ah Jiu.

Ah Jiu just smiled, and said flatly: "I'm sorry, I open the door to do business. There is no reason not to make money. My brother, there are more than 500 watches in my shop. If you can't buy them today, you can wait until later." Tomorrow, if you can’t buy it tomorrow, you can wait until the day after tomorrow; if you can’t buy it this year, you can wait until next year, there’s no need to get angry over such a trivial matter, can Mr. Zhang still buy all the watches in my shop?”

"Uh." The boss of the family said that he wanted to sell, and the rest of the people naturally stopped talking.

"Master Zhang, please!" Ah Jiu personally took out a pen, ink and paper and handed it to Zhang Tongchuan.

Zhang Tongchuan put the paper on the table and was about to start writing when he heard the young man in blue say, "Brother Zhang, you already took a photo of one yesterday. Do you feel free to bully people?"

"That's right, Zhang Tongchuan, you also leave one for us, don't you think you can buy all the watches in this store by yourself?"

Zhang Tongchuan raised his head in astonishment, glanced at the young man in blue, and said, "Tian Wushu, I am not afraid of you if others are afraid of you. What do you mean I have a lot of money because of my family? I just want to buy two yuan, one for my father and one for my father." For my mother, how could you buy all the watches in this store, are you threatening me?"

Tian Wushu raised his eyebrows, neither denied nor admitted, so what if he secretly threatened you?Although your Zhang family is powerful, don't you forget who I am?
"Okay, today I will give you face, Brother Tian." Zhang Tongchuan thought for a while, and finally compromised.

Zhang Tongchuan compromised, but Zhu Changyuan quit. This nima gave him face just to block my way of making money. I don’t care if you are paralyzed by Tian Wushu or Suan Wushu.

What can I do if I don't dare, people voluntarily gave up buying, so can they still drive the knife to people's necks to force them to fail.After thinking about it, it didn't take long for a note to come to my mind.

He strode up to the table, cupped his hands at Ah Jiu, and asked, "Master Zhu Jiu, I want to buy one too."

Ah Jiu suddenly saw Zhu Changyuan, almost frightened to death, isn't this his master, and even saluted himself with airs, immediately he couldn't even speak naturally, bowed and said: "Okay, okay."

Like a servant, he took out the pen and paper for him, but Zhu Changyuan whispered: "Pretend to be a little bit."

Zhu Changyuan didn't put the paper on the table to write like other people, but spread it directly on the floor, and wrote a big "Lu Qian" on the paper with his crooked characters, and suddenly realized as if he had made a mistake. Said: "Forget, forget, I can't let you see it."

In fact, he wrote it on the ground, and the rest of the people have seen it, so how can they not see it.

"I go.."

The discussion below exploded.

"Damn it, the price has been raised to 6000 taels in no time, and I can't make any bids."

"That's right, who is this guy? He's so hanged. Hey, why do I think he looks so familiar? I seem to have seen him somewhere."

"Where else can I see it? Two days ago, the Ministry of Industry, circumcision."

"Oh, Zhu Changyuan, it turned out to be him, but, does he have so much money?"

"Dude, you're worrying too much."

"Oh, yes, he is the son-in-law of the King of Joseon, so he should not lack this family background."

Amidst the discussions, Zhu Changyuan finished writing the last few words on the paper, folded it, and was about to hand it to Ah Jiu, but Tian Wushu said from behind: "Master, I see if you want to consider the price. Too high is not good."

Threats, outright threats.

How could Zhu Changyuan ignore him, looked back, pretended to think about it, and said: "It's really not good if it's too high, just re-quote next time."

Tear off the previous paper, put it on the table and wrote a new one, and handed it to Ah Jiu, saying: "Yes, the price you sell is too high, I decided to follow the advice of Mr. Tian, ​​it would be better to lower the price. "
