The person who spoke did not hide his face. He was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was a little plump, with a tanned face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. He was not ugly.
He sat there with a smile on his face, accompanied by two flirtatious women wearing fox fur coats. The middle-aged man had a total of 10 fingers on both of his hands, and he wore 10 rings. It was almost blinding to look at.
"It's Wang Dafa! Damn, this nouveau riche. The entire timber business of Yan Huang City is in his hands. "
"This guy has a special characteristic. He can clearly enter the second floor, but he likes to sit in the hall on the first floor. Moreover, he never hides his face. Do you see the two women beside him? Don't they look like brothel girls? Let me tell you, those two women are real experts! They are disciples of the sect! They have become Wang Dafa's concubines! Damn... "
In the hall, someone said in a low voice, "I despise country bumpkins like him the most. Such historical treasures... are they used to collect rainwater?"
"Wang Dafa has always been like this. Who knows how many times he has cooked cranes and burned the guqin. Last year, he competed with another rich man in Yan Huang City here and won a guqin worth 10,000 taels of silver. And then he smashed the guqin on the spot, saying that he was rich and that even if he smashed the guqin, there would still be a sound. Otherwise, he would play a song for them? I want to strangle him to death! "
The person who spoke was not far from Chu Mo. With Chu Mo's hearing, he heard it clearly.
Miao Yiniang's cold hands trembled a little. Obviously, she had heard the person's words, and her heart was filled with anger.
"Calm down." Chu Mo's mouth did not move, but his voice was transmitted to Miao Yiniang's ears.
This was the first time Chu Mo had used this ability. It was also one of the many techniques that the Demon King had imparted to him.
Miao Yiniang seemed to be slightly startled. She glanced at the expressionless Chu Mo from the corner of her eyes and heaved a sigh of relief. Her cold and trembling hand also slowly softened.
On the stage, Fat Brother said, "Now someone has offered 210 taels of gold. Is there a higher bid?"
He really couldn't see any value in the bronze cauldron. Even if it had once been used to concoct medicine, how many people in the mortal world could use it?
Even if ordinary firewood was used to burn it for a few days and nights, there would not be any changes!
Therefore, among the people present, there was no second person to bid for it.
Chu Mo felt that the gaze fell on Miao Yiniang again. However, Chu Mo didn't catch that gaze. He picked up the number plate on his seat, raised it up, and lightly said, "220 taels of gold. I like this thing very much. I wonder if Mr. Wang could give it to me?"
Wang Dafa, who was sitting in the front row, was slightly startled. He couldn't help but look back. He naturally knew other people's evaluation of him. Country bumpkin, nouveau riche, country bumpkin … and so on. He had heard too many of them.
Otherwise, as a big businessman, no matter how uncultured he was, he wouldn't spend 10,000 taels of silver to buy a zither. Deep down, he was competing with some people.
Didn't you say that I'm a country bumpkin nouveau riche? I'm a country bumpkin nouveau riche for you to see! I'm so rich! I'm so willful and reckless. What can you do about it?
This was Wang Dafa's character. It doesn't matter if you don't respect me. I don't need your respect either!
But, is it really that I don't need it? But if I can't get it, what can I do?
Therefore, being addressed as Mr. … was actually the first time in Wang Dafa's life!
Therefore, even though the young man was wearing a smiling mask and he couldn't see his face clearly, even though he had never met the other party before, at this moment, Wang Dafa suddenly felt a warm current in his heart. He had a feeling of being valued. Almost instantly, he had taken this unknown young man as a close friend.
This might sound a little funny, but reality was often more interesting than stories.
Therefore, this lumber king of Yan Huang City made a shocking move. He stood up, laughed loudly, and said, "A country bumpkin like me is being addressed as Mr. for the first time in my life. My heart feels warm. Brother, I, Wang Dafa, will be generous and call you Brother. Don't say anything else. I'll give this cauldron to you!"
As Wang Dafa spoke, he said to Fat Brother on the stage, "Fat Brother, 288 taels of gold. I'll take it. Give it to that brother! Make the number more auspicious. Let's celebrate! "
Chu Mo was stunned. Everyone else in the auction hall was also stunned.
At this moment, many people were beating their chests and stamping their feet in regret. They thought to themselves, "If I had known that calling Wang Dafa, this bumpkin, sir, would have gotten an antique worth nearly 3,000 taels of silver, I would have called him that too!"
Chu Mo was stunned for a moment. He recovered and smiled bitterly. "Big Brother Wang … this isn't good, is it?"
Wang Dafa waved his hand. "Since you call me Big Brother, can't I give you a New Year gift? It's settled then! "
Chu Mo was a little speechless. After thinking about it, he cupped his fists towards Wang Dafa. "Big Brother Wang is a straightforward person. Then I won't stand on ceremony with you. I owe Big Brother Wang a favor!"
"Hahaha, no problem. Come to my residence for a drink some other day!" Wang Dafa laughed heartily and then sat back down happily. It was as though 3,000 taels of silver was just a number to him.
This result was out of everyone's expectation. Fat Brother, who was on the stage, didn't expect that a bronze cauldron that wasn't of much use could be sold at such a price. It was a pleasant surprise.
Therefore, after asking three times as a matter of course, the auction gavel fell and the bronze cauldron was sent directly to Chu Mo.
Chu Mo could clearly feel the jade on his neck heating up. He knew that this bronze cauldron might be a treasure. At the same time, he sensed that Miao Yiniang, who was beside him, seemed to be a little excited.
He hurriedly transmitted his voice to Miao Yiniang. "Sister, don't be so excited. Once this thing is in our hands, we can't get out. Someone is watching you in the dark. Don't give yourself away."
Miao Yiniang held Chu Mo's hand to show that she understood.
After this incident, the atmosphere in the auction hall was obviously livened up.
That gaze didn't look in their direction anymore. Fat Brother, who was on the stage, took out the second item.
It was a landscape and a human figure carved out of a top-grade coral!
This thing, just looking at it made people have the urge to snatch it. It was too beautiful!
The person who carved this coral must be a master. Every detail was perfectly displayed, and the color of the entire coral was used to the extreme.
This was the secular world after all.
This kind of thing was the most popular!
Therefore, this landscape and a human figure carved out of a top-grade coral immediately caused people to fight for it crazily. Even the voices of people bidding on the second floor kept coming.
Wang Dafa also participated in the bidding. However, after bidding a few times, especially when the voices of people bidding on the second floor kept coming, Wang Dafa directly stopped bidding.
From this, it could be seen that he was not a country bumpkin who only knew how to show off his wealth!
In the end, this top-grade coral sculpture was won by the person in the Sky Room No. 3 on the second floor. No one knew if he was one of Prince Xia Jing's people.
Following that, all kinds of rare treasures were mentioned one by one by Fat Brother. It must be said that Fat Brother was very eloquent and knowledgeable. Each of those treasures, in his words, had its own story. Every one of them could be described as a peerless treasure by him.
The people were also very impressed. From the beginning until now, almost two hours had passed, and not a single item was left unsold.
In the end, it was finally the highlight of the day.
With a serious face, Fat Brother stood there and said seriously, "Next, it's the most important moment of the day. Our finale item is about to appear!"
