Chapter 685 Border Town Pictures

Especially Lu Zili, who had gone to the toilet just now, so his feeling of fullness was gone now.

He actively participated in those auctions. He had to control his emotions from time to time and was highly nervous. Now that he finally relaxed, he felt hungry.

In addition, he was the only one at the table, so the new dishes that were served at this time naturally belonged to him. It felt like one person ordered a whole table of dishes, which was so heroic.

So after the food came, he picked up his chopsticks, took a bite, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.

"Well, this chef is really good! Not bad, not bad!" After he put the dish in his mouth, he couldn't help but praise it with curved lips.

After seeing his reaction, some people couldn't help but pick up a bite of the dish and taste it themselves.

Some people snorted coldly and wanted to refute Lu Zili, but they hadn't eaten yet and didn't know how to refute, so they picked up a mouthful of food with their chopsticks and put it into their mouths.

In the end, I wanted to say that the food I cooked was not good, but I couldn't say it out without conscience, which only made myself feel even more uncomfortable.

Of course, not only the people downstairs added dishes, but also the private rooms upstairs.

But at this time, Mr. Hong and the mysterious guest had no intention of continuing to eat.

Although they know the food is delicious, they can see the following situation and think about how they can continue to make money, which makes them feel more happy.

The girl in the middle of the stage downstairs seemed to be able to sense their eagerness, so after the guys came back to the kitchen, the girl slowly came to a clock face, stretched out her hand and took away the flannel cloth on it.

This clock is very special. Literati will admire its heroic spirit after seeing it, but military generals will probably have brain congestion after seeing it, and a sense of responsibility will arise spontaneously.

What is carved on it is none other than the scene of a city gate of a frontier fortress. Although there are only a few strokes, it can still show its majesty and sacrosanct status.

The mysterious guest upstairs couldn't see clearly because of the distance, but he could see the solemn expressions of everyone downstairs.

"What's wrong? Does this clock have any meaning?"

The Hong family had seen all the clocks and were very impressed by this clock. They explained: "This is a scene of a city gate in the border area. It is said that when this clock was carved, the girl Xiaowu found someone who lived in the border area. I visited a few people there and asked about life there, and based on their descriptions, I drew this painting!"

After Master Hong finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his arms. It was nothing else. This was the original manuscript of the painting that Ye Zifen had drawn.

The mysterious guest took the drawing paper handed over by Mr. Hong with his own hands, unfolded it gently and looked at it.

The picture above is very simple, with rough lines, but it is precisely this way of processing that makes the pride rush towards you.

He was trying hard to control his emotions and not let himself have any other changes.

I am even more curious about this Xiao Wu. Her wisdom is probably not comparable to that of even the well-educated princesses in the palace!

But it was undeniable that this painting had a great impact on him. His eyes looked from the top of the painting to the clock downstairs.

"If the country hadn't needed money right now, I would have definitely kept this clock and given it to the generals who guard the border!"

Master Hong continued to look down the stage as if he had not heard what he said, and his eyes glanced in Lu Zili's direction intentionally or unintentionally.

At this time, Lu Zili looked a little out of sorts. He knew that the pictures on the outside of these clocks were all drawn by Ye Zifen himself.

Just seeing such a scene made him think of Ye Yongrui's family. He could guarantee that Zifen definitely got such a scene from the mouths of his cousins.

Although he couldn't tell how hard it was on the border from this picture, he seemed to feel the daily crisis of the people living there from above.

The situation of being ready to confront foreign enemies at any time can be vividly reflected in this scene alone.

At this time, a tear dropped from the corner of his eye. It was precisely because of his loss of control that the people around him felt it.

People felt his love for this clock and became wary.

The girl on the stage deliberately turned every side of the clock for everyone to take a look at, so that everyone could see the details clearly.

After returning to the front, the girl said: "Without further ado, the auction will start now. The starting price is fifty thousand taels of silver. Each time the sign is raised, the price will increase by two hundred taels! Is there anyone who can bid now?"

Originally, those who had not raised their placards wanted to show off in the early stage this time. Anyway, Lu Zili had already shown that he liked it, and it was impossible for others to buy it at a low price. So I plan to raise my card once and fulfill my wish.

But who would have thought that this girl would adjust the starting price from 10,000 taels to 50,000 taels as soon as she opened her mouth, and increase it by 200 taels every time she raised a sign.

In other words, the speed of raising cards this time will definitely be slower than the speed of raising cards in previous times, because everyone must be more cautious. Of course, this means that the clocks at the back can be sold for at least 50,200 taels of silver.

Lu Zili did not hesitate, picked up the sign at hand, and held it up.

At the same time, several businessmen held up signs.

When the girl saw this situation, she smiled slightly: "It seems that many people like this clock, but let's take our time and don't rush. The bid on the 24th is 50,200 taels. Do you want the other guests?" Out to 50,400 taels?"

Sure enough, after the girl asked, one of the businessmen raised the sign in his hand, "No. 88 bids 50,400 taels. Do others want to pay a higher price?"

Different people began to bid, and since there were many people bidding on it, it was not clear how much Lu Zili loved this clock.

However, as soon as the speed of their bidding slows down, Lu Zili will raise the number plate in his hand to increase the speed of his bidding.

Soon the price exceeded 100,000. Until this time, everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere of back and forth competition. They had not realized that the price had soared so fast, and they continued to increase the price.

However, after breaking through 100,000, Lu Zili stopped raising his placard. His idea at this time was very simple, 'Since it has exceeded 100,000, then his mission can be completed. As for the final price of the transaction, this It depends on God’s arrangement. ’

Fortunately, the girl on the stage had a calm personality and did not get excited because of the numbers they shouted, so that everyone noticed that something was wrong.

Moreover, the girl was very quick-talking. No matter who raised the card, she could clearly tell his number plate and the price he offered. At this time, she was like a born king, constantly pointing out.
