Generally speaking, the big merchants present were very low-key.

Even if you are interested in the same product with other merchants, there will be no rivalry and get angry.

At most, he followed the price for a few rounds, and when the transaction price exceeded his psychological expectations, he slightly bowed his hand at the other party, indicating that he would not follow.

However, I don't know what the origin of that Hu surnamed son is, his attitude is very arrogant!

Once you see a certain product, you must take a picture of it.

Even if there are other big merchants who are interested in the same product, after following the price for a round or two.

The middle-aged shopkeeper who followed the Hu surname before would walk up to the other party and whisper a few words, and then the other party gave up and continued to bid.

"Everyone, the next auction is one of our final treasures—ambergris!!!"

"As we all know, ambergris is generally divided into three grades according to its color, among which gray is low-grade ambergris, light gray is middle-grade ambergris, and bright white is high-grade ambergris."

"And this time, the ambergris that we salvaged from the shipwreck of other overseas fan merchants is the size of a cuju, and the whole body is white. It is definitely the best ambergris among the ambergris!!!"

Shopkeeper Li in front of the trading desk introduced it passionately.

At the same time, the two wrestlers carried a broken wooden box with some vines on it, and put it on the trading table.

Immediately afterward, shopkeeper Li opened the wooden box, revealing the top-quality ambergris which was the size of a cuju ball and was white all over!

In addition to the ambergris, there are also a few bracts with thin beards on one end, wrapped in green leather, and some shells and miscellaneous stones mixed in.

"When this box was salvaged by us, the blockade on it was damaged."

"Fortunately, the top-quality ambergris inside was not lost because of this, it is still in the box, it's just that there are a few more marine debris."

Shopkeeper Li pointed to the top-quality ambergris in the wooden box and introduced, in order to show the origin of this top-quality ambergris and the difficulty of getting it.

They didn't even clean up the debris on the box, so they just shipped it over.

In order to be able to sell it at a higher price!

Yan Changqing, who was still drinking tea casually, raised his eyes casually, and immediately froze.

It's just that Yan Changqing's eyes were fixed on the vines wrapped around the wooden box, unlike the others who focused on the ambergris.

And those bud sticks with thin beards on one end and green leather coats in the box!

【That's... sweet potato vine? ! ! 】

[And corn? ! ! 】

Yan Changqing was completely shocked.

Although he feels that in this era, it is possible to obtain the three major crops in South America through overseas fan business transactions.

But in fact, this really just depends on luck.

From the moment he had this idea until now, he has traveled to and from various docks and large markets in Nanjing no less than dozens of times!

But so far, he was only lucky enough to find a few potatoes at the end of last year.

Even if he hadn't discovered it in time that time, those potatoes would have been eaten by the fan merchant in the end.

Now those few potatoes are still planted by him in the field in the backyard, and it is estimated that the harvest will be ushered in soon.

It's just that although he got potatoes, Yan Changqing still has no confidence in whether he can continue to get the other two major South American crops.

After all, things like luck are too illusory and unreliable.

Unlike mathematics, geography, physics, chemistry and other subjects, if you know it, you will know it, if you don’t know it, you won’t, it’s clear and reliable!

Chapter 27: Taking glass as money, my father is the prime minister! 【Ask for flowers, ask for everything】

"This piece of top-quality ambergris, the lowest transaction price - 10 taels!!!"

After Li shopkeeper in front of the trading desk introduced the origin of the top-quality ambergris, he immediately called out the highest price for today!

Yan Changqing came back to his senses, his eyes froze, and he didn't need anything else, including the top-quality ambergris that others regarded as a priceless treasure.

But the vines on the box, as well as those few corn buds, he is bound to get them today!

"A dragon glass bottle, plus a phoenix glass bottle, and a unicorn glass bottle!"

Yan Changqing immediately took out three palm-length, half-palm-width blue, red, and ink-colored glass bottles that looked like dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns from the inside pocket of the left sleeve robe, and placed them on the table in front of him.

Standing aside, the maid serving Yan Changqing at any time saw the three lifelike, crystal clear glass bottles, her eyes were full of shock.

"Take it for an estimate."

Yan Changqing said calmly.

"Yes!"

The maid at the side came back to her senses and looked at Yan Changqing in awe.

Then cautiously, cautiously, and more cautiously, he picked up the three dragon, phoenix, and unicorn glass bottles in front of him.

If the three dragon, phoenix, and unicorn glazed bottles were damaged at all, it would be impossible to compensate for the loss if she sold her entire family.

After a while, shopkeeper Li immediately announced loudly after the valuation was over:

"Scholar Yan bid for three glass bottles of the peerless dragon, phoenix and unicorn, worth 20 taels!!!"

"Is there anything more than this price?!"

As soon as shopkeeper Li's voice fell to the ground, another very arrogant voice sounded:

"21 taels!"

Yan Changqing frowned slightly, glanced at the son surnamed Hu diagonally opposite, and then took out a glazed bottle in the shape of a crane from the inner pocket of the sleeve robe on the right side, and said indifferently:

"Add another crane glass bottle!"

"The total value of the crane glass bottle is 3 taels, and Bachelor Yan's bid is 23 taels!"

Shopkeeper Li yelled again after checking the price of the crane glazed bottle again.

"25 taels, this ambergris must belong to me!!!"

Snapped!

Brother Hu surnamed put away his folding fan, and said with a domineering look.

Yan Changqing didn't even look at the other party, and directly took out all the glazed items in the inner pockets of the sleeve robes on the left and right sides.

"Add a Shoulu glass bottle, a Tianma glass bottle, and nine nine-color glass beads!"

More than money, he has never been afraid! ! !

Others use gold and silver as money, but he uses glass as money! ! !

At least glass is really valuable in this era called colored glaze!

Even to a certain extent, it is more valuable than ordinary gold and silver!

It just so happens that, as a science graduate student, it is reasonable and normal for him to know a little bit about the technical method of firing glass in a small earthen blast furnace.

The glass products that he used as silver flowers now and before were made by firing small blast furnaces in his humble laboratory several times before.

This is also the reason why he never cared about the salary of the original Guozijian Ph.D., or the salary of a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

For this era, he has many, many ways to make money, and even earn money that is incomparably rich!

It's just that for him, material enjoyment is not particularly important. Although he has appetite, he will not pursue it in particular.

As long as there is a front yard and back field in the house, there are a few more rooms for him to use as a laboratory and study.

And the place should be secluded, so that he will not attract the attention of others because of the abnormal noise when he is doing the experiment.

This is also the reason why he would buy a house in a remote corner of Nanjing City.

So apart from the fact that sometimes it takes a lot of money to buy these overseas fan merchants, there are not many places where he can use the money at other times.

"The Shoulu glass bottle, the Tianma glass bottle, and the nine-color glass beads are worth 7 taels in total!"

"Scholar Yan bid a total of 30 taels!!!"

After inspecting the value of the corresponding glass bottle, shopkeeper Li looked up at Mr. Hu on the second floor with some embarrassment.

Hearing the quotation from shopkeeper Li downstairs, Mr. Hu pushed away Meiji beside him, looked at Yan Changqing fiercely and said angrily:

"My father is the prime minister!!!"

"I am Hu Wen'an, the son of the prime minister, how dare you rob me?!"

Yan Changqing raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the other party with a hint of surprise.

The sentence "My father is the prime minister" cannot be said to be exactly the same as a famous saying in the previous life, it can only be said to be completely consistent.

In addition, "Hu Wen'an, the son of the prime minister", that is to say, his father is the current prime minister Hu Weiyong? ! !

No wonder he dared to be so arrogant, even a small trade fair jointly organized by several major business gangs had to give him face and try to follow his wishes.

His father, Hu Weiyong, was much more arrogant than him, and in the end he was so arrogant that he challenged Lao Zhu's imperial power!

Then he was slaughtered cleanly by Lao Zhu on the charge of treason.

Yan Changqing looked at Hu Wen'an with pity in his eyes, the grasshopper after autumn would not be able to hop for a few days.

"The transaction auction, I think it should be for the highest bidder, not the highest status."

"If Mr. Hu can bid higher, then I'll just keep following."

"If there is no higher bid among the people present, then please tell shopkeeper Li to announce the result."

Yan Changqing's eyes fell on Shopkeeper Li in front of the trading desk on the first floor, and said indifferently.

"This......"

Shopkeeper Li in front of the trading desk turned his eyes to Hu Wen'an on the second floor in embarrassment, with a hesitant expression on his face, and it was difficult to speak.

Hu Wen'an laughed back angrily, ever since his father became Prime Minister Zuo, the head of a hundred officials, he has never met anyone who did not give him face!

"Good! Good!! Good!!!"

"This is the first time I see someone who doesn't give me face!!!"

"Just buy it! I want to see if you can take it back!!!"

After finishing speaking, he kicked the table in front of him, angrily, and left the stage without showing face.

"Scholar Yan, you are in serious trouble."

Shopkeeper Li downstairs saw Hu Wen'an leave, and immediately looked at Yan Changqing with a wry smile.

"It's all right, he's not a problem at all."

"If no one raises the price, shopkeeper Li, please announce the result."

Yan Changqing waved his hand indifferently and urged slightly.

He couldn't feel at ease unless he got the vines and corn on the box immediately.

"Well, since Bachelor Yan is not afraid of trouble, that's the best."

Shopkeeper Li sighed slightly, then looked up at the other big merchants on the second floor and said:

"Then is there anyone else who bid higher than Bachelor Yan's bid?!"

"If not, then I declare that this top-grade ambergris belongs to Bachelor Yan!!!"

Chapter 28: By order of the princes, protect Scholar Yan [asking for flowers, asking for everything]

When Yan Changqing walked out of the restaurant holding the wooden box as if he had found a treasure, he saw [-] to [-] Yamen servants of Yingtian Mansion slowly walking towards him in the distance.

And behind those yamen servants stood Hu Wen'an with an arrogant face.
