The small businessmen knew very well that the head of the Wang family was much stronger than they were, and there was no need to engage in any conspiracies and tricks, and just randomly blocking their food supply would be enough to make them cry.

The head of the Chen family fell on the head of the Li family and the head of the Huang family. He wandered around for a moment and saw that no one dared to make an offer. He leisurely reported the price: "I will pay fifteen taels."

The head of the Wang family looked at the head of the Chen family with cold eyes.

The head of the Chen family raised his empty wine glass towards him with a smile, pretending to be drunk.

The head of the Wang family looked away, and he clenched his fists very tightly. If he didn't clench tightly, he would give the head of the Chen family a punch if he couldn't control himself!

Two heads of the four major families quoted their prices, and the remaining small landowners and merchants immediately gave up and did not dare to have the slightest idea of ​​competing with the Chen and Wang family for the secret recipe for dried meat.

Huo Yunchao's eyes fell on Family Master Li and Family Master Huang. Seeing that they were unmoved, they picked up the tea cup and took a small sip. Not bad.

Magistrate Wang shouted twice more, but when no one made any more offers, he tapped the wooden hammer: "Fifteen liang once, fifteen liang twice, fifteen liang three times! Deal! The secret recipe for dried meat belongs to Chen Juren." !”

Zheng Shaoxuan wrote quickly and wrote down the payment voucher for the secret recipe of dried meat. The servant sent it to the Chen family master, and reminded: "Chen Juren is asked to go to the study room after the auction to sign the documents and pay at least 30% of the bid amount."

The Wang Family Master's ears twitched. He originally thought that they had to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. He never thought that the conditions given by Pinglehou were so generous, allowing them to pay only 30% of the price.

The head of the Chen family was so happy that he couldn't find any clues. He accepted the voucher and said proudly: "In the future, if you want to eat the unique secret recipe of dried meat that Mr. Hou has developed, you have to come to my house to buy it."

The head of the Wang family ignored it.

It’s true that he really likes secretly made dried meat, but what he wants most is the wine-making technology. That’s a hugely profitable business, and it’s worth spending most of his family fortune to get it!

The head of the Chen family originally wanted to see the embarrassment of the head of the Wang family after losing his love, but unfortunately he was not able to get what he wanted and was a little disappointed.

But his attention was quickly attracted by the next lot. It turned out that the next lot was the art of ink making!

The head of the Chen family looked at the piece of ink in Magistrate Wang's palm with glowing eyes, feeling extremely itchy.

The head of the Wang family was not interested in these elegant items such as pens, inks, paper and inkstones. He did not mind stabbing the head of the Chen family twice at this moment: "The base price for this ink-making skill is three hundred taels. You can't get it without eight hundred taels."

Eight, eight hundred taels?

Unless he sells his property, how can he have 800 taels of cash to buy the ink-making skills?

The head of the Chen family knew that the head of the Wang family was deliberately rubbing salt into his wounds, so he tried his best to show off his face. He just didn't want to reveal his true thoughts.

The head of the Wang family had already figured out the family fortune of the Chen family, and said: "It's useless for you to grab this ink-making skill. The materials for making ink are expensive and the construction period is long. No matter how good the food is, you have to eat it."

The head of the Chen family, his eyes bright and clear, waited for Magistrate Wang to introduce the ink-making technique passionately. Hearing that the base price was 300 taels, he was pushed up to 800 taels before he stopped.

The person who stole the ink-making skills was the head of the Huang family who opened a medical clinic. He didn't buy it for his own family, but for his direct descendants who were far away in Fucheng.

The ink sticks that Magistrate Wang placed in his hands sold very well in Fucheng, and his direct relatives sent people to wholesale them.

The head of the Li family did not expect that his in-laws would be so generous, so he couldn't help but curiously asked: "My in-laws, why did you spend so much money to buy the ink-making skills?"

The head of the Huang family wanted to fool him, but when he noticed the sinister look in the head of the Chen family, he immediately changed his mind: "The direct branch needs this ink-making skill."

The head of the Li family thought of the Huang family in Fucheng and immediately stopped asking any more questions.

The Huang Family Master saw that the Li Family Master didn't ask any more questions and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The head of the Wang family came over and said to the head of the Chen family: "The Huang family in Fucheng came to us and bought all the ink made by the Marquis."

The head of the Chen family looked at the head of the Wang family in disbelief, and was shocked. After being surprised, he asked him: "Why are you telling me this?"

The head of the Wang family said bluntly: "I need you to help me gain wine-making skills."

The head of the Chen family was silent.

He really didn't expect that the goal of the head of the Wang family was to make wine. After thinking about it, he thought it was natural. The Wang family is a grain merchant, how did the wine come from? Isn’t it brewed from grain?

Thinking about it this way, among all the people here, except for the head of the Wang family, who is capable of mastering the art of brewing wine?

Seeing that the Chen family didn't answer, the Wang family leader mistakenly thought that the chips were insufficient, and added a few words: "The ink block made by the Marquis contains medicinal materials. It is not only an ink block for writing, but also a good way to cure diseases and save lives."

The head of the Chen family was relieved: "Okay, I'll help you."

"Thank you." The Wang family poured a full glass of wine for the Chen family with a sincere face, "Please."

The head of the Chen family confidently picked up the wine glass and tasted it carefully.

He thought about it, he couldn't escape even if he ran away, and no matter how greedy he was, he wouldn't fall into his hands.

Next, Magistrate Wang auctioned off the secret recipes of pig-bristle pens and soap, and the pig-bristle pens fell into the hands of small businessmen.

The auction of soap is somewhat special. Magistrate Wang said: "The soap will be mass-produced by the workshop. Therefore, please be careful about the secret recipe of the soap. The reserve price is one tael of silver."

The four major families were very disdainful when they heard the conditions attached.

The small businessmen don't have so many ideas. They want to use the auction to show their face in front of the county magistrate and Ping Lehou. They spend ten taels and twenty taels. It hurts, but in the long run, it is a stable investment. A good deal without losing money.

In the end, the secret recipe of soap was photographed by a small businessman.

The highlight, the auction of wine-making skills has begun!

Magistrate Wang smiled and pointed to the large wine jar that was snatched up by all the guests and said, "You must have tasted the wine in the wine jar, right? Tell me, does the wine here taste good?"

“Delicious!”

"It tastes so good that I want to swallow it all with my tongue!"

"Master County Master, this wine is so fragrant. What's the minimum price?"

……

Magistrate Wang put his hands on his hands and laughed, picked up the wine glass in front of everyone, and drank it all in one gulp: "Good wine! Not much to say, the base price is five hundred taels! Each increase will not be less than ten taels!"

hiss--

Patriarch Chen's eyes were dazzled after hearing this. He rubbed his brows and leaned over to ask Patriarch Wang: "Are you really going to rob? At what price should I bid?"

The head of the Wang family replied without hesitation: "One thousand taels."

Patriarch Chen's eyes widened: "You must not deceive me!"

His family has a small amount of money. If he really robs it and the man named Wang refuses to admit it, then he will really spend all his money to buy this thing that he has no use for.

"Why did I lie to you? As long as you help me grab it, I will pay you ten taels."

The head of the Wang family stared intently at those wine jars. Whether his Wang family could be rich for ten generations depends on who wins the wine-making skills this time!

The head of the Chen family no longer had any doubts, and watched with concentration as everyone raised the price to bid, from the base price of 500 taels to 850 taels.

Who doesn't know that the head of the Wang family is an iron rooster who never pulls out his hair? In order to let him capture the wine-making skills, he did not hesitate to give him a heavy reward of ten taels of silver. He must be serious!
