The general rebirth of farming
Chapter 37 Qu Yuan sells vegetables (2)
Qu Yuan hung up the Sitting Deer Arhat picture again, scanned the crowd, and found that after the riot just now, the number of people had doubled again, and people kept coming around.
Clearing his throat, Qu Yuan shouted loudly: "The base price of a basket of Chinese cabbage is 1000 yuan, and the price can be increased at will. The highest bidder will not only get a basket of Chinese cabbage, but also a picture of an arhat as a gift. There is only one picture of an arhat in each of the eighteen. I hope everyone will take a good look at the arhat picture you want before bidding. The arhat picture presented this time is a sitting deer arhat, and customers who like this picture can bid."
"I'll pay two thousand!" Mr. Ru Ya immediately shouted.
"Hmph, four thousand!" The nouveau riche middle-aged man gave the old Mr. Ruya a demonstrative look.
"You! Baqian!" The elegant old man was not to be outdone.
"I'll offer [-]." The other person looked at the upstart middle-aged man and the elegant old man who were fighting with each other, and called out the price with a little hesitation.
Zhao Weiguo's eyes were also burning. He didn't see the Arhat Picture just now, so he didn't think anything.Seeing it at this time, Fang felt extraordinary.No wonder these people fought fiercely, even he was moved.But he didn't open his mouth to bid, because he was looking forward to the Luohan map later.Everyone has only two opportunities, and he doesn't want to waste one easily.
Of course, he can also ask his bodyguards, even Chen Sanye and his son to bid for him.But since this game rule was proposed by Chen Yuyuan, out of appreciation and respect for this young man, he didn't want to break the game rule.
"Ten sixteen thousand!" The nouveau riche middle-aged man paid no attention to the others, just because he was looking for the elegant old man.Whatever price the Ruya old man offers, he will definitely double it.
The old man Ruya was so angry that he was about to smoke, he gritted his teeth and called out a price: "[-]!"
"Sixty thousand!" Before Mr. Ruya finished speaking, the nouveau riche middle-aged man shouted without hesitation, and then smiled arrogantly at Mr. Ruya.
"Hmph!" The old gentleman's face turned black with anger, he shook his hands, and turned his back, not wanting to see the nouveau riche middle-aged man's disgusting appearance.But there was no further bid, obviously admitting defeat.
The others were also silent. Everyone saw the upstart middle-aged man's appearance of "I have nothing but money", and they didn't dare to argue with him anymore, so as to save themselves from being slapped in the face like a refined old man." "Crack" sound.
"Is there anyone else who wants to bid?" Qu Yuan cast a thoughtful glance at the nouveau riche middle-aged man and shouted.
No one answered.
"Okay! Then, the first basket of cabbage and the picture of Sitting Deer Arhat will belong to this gentleman." Qu Yuan illustrated the picture of Sitting Deer and Arhat, and handed it to the middle-aged nouveau riche with a proud face.
"This person is really not simple." Zhao Weiguo said with a sudden chuckle.
This nouveau riche middle-aged man didn't appear to be a fool with a lot of money on the surface. He deliberately raised an argument with the elegant old man, but he just wanted to use this to deter other competitors.Others couldn't see it, but they couldn't hide it from Zhao Weiguo who had been in the mall for decades.
6 yuan, naturally no one would walk around with so much cash.The upstart middle-aged man signed a check to Qu Yuan on the spot, and both money and goods were settled.But the nouveau riche middle-aged man did not leave, and returned to the crowd to wait and see.
Qu Yuan casually took out another painting from his cloth bag, opened it, and saw a monk in the painting holding a bowl aloft, it was the arhat holding the bowl.
A new round of bidding has begun.
Seeing that Qu Yuan sold a basket of vegetables for 6 yuan, Chen Erzhu shook his head and sighed in a low voice: "This boy, the cabbages are sold for the price of ginseng! The money came faster than robbing the bank! No wonder he dared to propose this bet..."
Shouhou reminded himself in his heart: Don't bet with Brother Yuanzi!Don't make Brother Yuanzi angry!Don't listen to Brother Yuanzi!Never!Never!Never!Say important things three times!
And Chen You held the check that Chen Yuyuan gave him, with a dazed expression: What does this mean?
Soon, the picture of arhat holding a bowl was also "given away", and the winner was Mr. Ruya.Perhaps because the arhat who raised his bowl was originally a beggar monk, those wealthy businessmen did not bid for it, and even the nouveau riche middle-aged man who seemed to have a quarrel with the elegant old man did not make a bid once.Therefore, Mr. Ruya won this picture with only a price of [-]. Mr. Ruya was so happy that he couldn't hold his tongue from ear to ear. The frustration of losing the previous competition had long been forgotten.
The third picture is the Laughing Lion Arhat. When he saw this picture, Zhao Weiguo's expression perked up, and his eyes flashed.
The Laughing Lion Arhat never killed any living beings in his rebirth, and made good fortunes, so he was free from disease and pain in his life, and had the five blessings of immortality.Therefore, he is also called "King Kong Son", and he is deeply praised and respected by people.And because he often brings the little lion with him, the world calls him "Laughing Lion Arhat".
Zhao Weiguo has entered his twilight years, he has enjoyed everything he should have enjoyed in this life, money and status are not very attractive to him.At his age, what people want most is health and longevity.Therefore, Zhao Weiguo is determined to get this Laughing Lion Arhat Picture.
"two thousand!"
"Five thousand!"
"Ten thousand!"
"Fifteen thousand!"
"Thirty thousand!"
……
Those who can come to the Dharma conference are basically believers, so how can they not know the meaning of Laughing Lion and Arhat?What's more, this picture was opened by Abbot Kongwen.Therefore, the bidding was extremely hot, climbing all the way up, and soon reached [-].
"50 million!"
Zhao Weiguo yelled lightly, but his jaw dropped in shock.Many people with insufficient financial resources quietly died down. Only the middle-aged nouveau riche did not give up. He glanced at Zhao Weiguo, gritted his teeth and shouted: "60!"
"100 million!" Zhao Weiguo called out the astonishing price without blinking.
The nouveau riche middle-aged man had tasted what it was like to be crushed, and gave up asking for a price in dejection.It's really a turn of events!
Seeing the nouveau riche and the middle-aged man slumped, nothing is more gratifying than the elegant old gentleman. He was in a good mood and gave Zhao Weiguo a thumbs up.
Not surprisingly, this picture of the Laughing Lion and Arhat belonged to Zhao Weiguo.After all, this is not a Sotheby's auction, nor is it selling any rare treasures. 100 million is amazing in Qingtian Town, few people can spend so much money for a painting.
And 100 million is an unimaginable wealth for poor rural people.The people in Chenjia Village looked at Qu Yuan differently, the eyes of those women all had a faint green light, like a big gray wolf looking at Qu Yuan like Little Red Riding Hood.And people from other villages asked the people from Chenjia Village about Qu Yuan's situation one after another, and it was no need to think about what their plans were.
Soon, several pictures of Arhats were sold.At this time, a magnificent bell sounded in Anqing Temple, and it was struck 36 times in a row.On one side, the banner of merits and virtues written "Qijian Ten Dharma Realms, Four Sages, Six Fans, Water and Land Pudu Dazhai Shenghui Daochang Merit and Virtue Banner" also rose up, which means that the Water and Land Conference is about to begin.In addition to the hanging streamers, nine lotus lanterns are hung on the other side for lighting at night and as a guide for landmarks, attracting lonely souls to gather at night to receive the benefits of the Dharma and share the rain of wisdom.
Seeing this scene, those pious believers, or those who felt that they could not bid, left one after another, walked into Anqing Temple, and participated in the puja.In an instant, the number of people in front of the stall decreased by two-thirds.
Zhao Weiguo hesitated for a moment, but soon decided to stay.Anyway, the Fa conference will be held for seven days, not less than this hour and a half.But if the Arhat picture I like is bought by others, there is no place to cry.
The cabbage auction continued, but it was more or less affected by the people who left, the atmosphere calmed down, and the atmosphere of bidding was not so intense.The subsequent transaction prices were all between [-] and [-], and the better one was the Huanxi Arhat Picture, which was bid for [-].
However, after that, three more pictures of Arhats were bid for high prices.Two of them are the pictures of the subduing dragon Arhat and the subduing tiger Arhat.Because of the TV series "Jigong", Arhats Subduing the Dragon and Arhats Fuhu are widely known, and can be said to be the most famous among the Eighteen Arhats, which aroused enthusiastic bidding from everyone.It's like two beauties who are equally beautiful, one is an ordinary person and the other is a big star, naturally the big star is more sought after.The last two pictures were sold for 40 and 35 respectively.
The other picture is the picture of the janitor arhat, with a Zen staff in his hand, which is very powerful.Probably because Qu Yuan has been a general for more than ten years, he vividly portrays the mighty and extraordinary of the janitor arhat.Just looking at this picture, I can feel a trace of murderous intent rushing towards my face, making my heart beat faster and panicking.And the janitor Luohan's eyes are more like staring at people, making people afraid to look at them.
Anyone who really knows how to appreciate calligraphy and painting will be able to see the extraordinaryness of this painting.When Abbot Kongwen saw the painting, he was amazed and asked Qu Yuan for the painting, but Qu Yuan flatly refused.Eighteen arhats is a gimmick he created, without one arhat, how can it be justified?Can you still have fun?
Seeing Qu Yuan's resolute attitude, Abbot Kongwen knew that he had nothing to do with this painting, so he didn't force it.If you force it, it is a sign.Therefore, even though he learned that Qu Yuan was auctioning off the pictures of the Eighteen Arhats at the gate of Anqing Temple, he didn't think about buying them.
There are many people in the world who know how to appreciate calligraphy and painting, among them are Zhao Weiguo and Mr. Ruya.When the two of them saw the painting, their pupils dilated and their eyes shone brightly, as if seeing a peerless beauty, they almost rushed over.It's a pity that Mr. Ruya's financial resources can't be compared with Zhao Weiguo's at all. Zhao Weiguo just shouted "80", and then he KO'd Mr. Ruya, and other people who wanted to bid also suffered splash damage.
So far, all the Eighteen Arhats have been "sent away".However, there were still two baskets of cabbages left, and Qu Yuan distributed these cabbages to the people around him, which was an advertisement for Chenjiacun.
Clearing his throat, Qu Yuan shouted loudly: "The base price of a basket of Chinese cabbage is 1000 yuan, and the price can be increased at will. The highest bidder will not only get a basket of Chinese cabbage, but also a picture of an arhat as a gift. There is only one picture of an arhat in each of the eighteen. I hope everyone will take a good look at the arhat picture you want before bidding. The arhat picture presented this time is a sitting deer arhat, and customers who like this picture can bid."
