My family's handicrafts are all alive!

So even Xu Fu was surprised to be discovered by the emperor this time.

After learning about Xu Fu's connections, Xu Cheng bid farewell to Xu Fu, and then Xu Fu was in charge of needlework, and Xu Cheng went to find temples in the city.

Because he had to run around, Xu Cheng left Fujiwara Meihong by Xu Fu's side.

After arriving at a temple that met the requirements, Xu Cheng said that he wanted to see the abbot and donate money for incense, and was quickly received by the abbot of the temple.

The abbot was an old monk with a white beard. When he saw Xu Cheng, he asked: "The almsman mainly donates incense money, and that's all. Why do you want to see the poor monk?"

Xu Cheng shook his head and said, "The incense money I donated this time is a bit different."

The abbot stretched out his hand and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Xu Cheng then told the abbot that he planned to ask the temple to sell a fire mouse fur.

With a straight face, the old abbot said righteously: "The almsgiver is here to discuss business, not to donate incense money. Please leave, this temple does not do business."

Xu Cheng said: "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet, we will share the proceeds from the auction [-]-[-]."

The old abbot was slightly moved, but he said, "Don't be joking, benefactor."

Xu Cheng directly added money and said, "You guys get [-]%!"

The old abbot lowered his head and said in thought: "Actually, this matter is not unnegotiable."

Xu Cheng said: "Ninety percent!"

The old abbot nodded immediately: "Deal! I wonder when the fire mouse fur will be delivered? This temple is ready to prepare the venue."

Xu Cheng said, "A day or two at most."

The old abbot got up immediately and said: "Then we must start publicity as soon as possible, benefactor, please do it yourself."

The moment before the old abbot left, he suddenly asked: "Is the fire mouse fur provided by the benefactor genuine or not?"

Xu Cheng didn't answer directly, but smiled and said, "What do you think?"

The old abbot left without looking back.

His hometown is in the Western Regions, and the creatures like flame rats were extinct when he was young, so how could this young man in front of him have a real fire rat coat in his hands.

Chapter 289 It seems that the body has been hollowed out

Since Wang Qing came back, many wealthy local merchants have released news that they will pay a lot of money to buy the Fire Mouse fur.

The rumored treasure of Fire Rat Fur spread throughout the city's business circles overnight.

But no one has this thing, so for the time being, there are only people who want to buy it, but no one offers it.

After Xu Cheng reached a cooperation with that temple, news spread that there was a fire mouse fur in the temple.

The next day, Wang Qing and Ono Fangshou came to the temple after smelling the smell.

They originally wanted to quietly buy the Fire Rat Fur while the businessmen didn't find out. If the businessmen got it, he wouldn't have to pay a lot more.

However, those wealthy businessmen he had contacted were much more informed than he was.

As soon as Wang Qing and Ono Fangshou entered the temple, they saw several acquaintances.

It looks like they're all trying to cash in on themselves.

Wang Qing already had guesses in his mind, it was not hard to guess what the businessman was thinking, it was just for profit.

Several rich merchants were communicating with the abbot of the temple. Under the bids of the rich merchants in turn, the old abbot said: "Don't worry, benefactors. We will hold an auction of fire rat fur in the temple tomorrow. The one with the highest price will win. What do you guys think?"

Several wealthy businessmen also understood the old abbot's thoughts. Since there are many parties competing for it, then holding an auction will naturally maximize the benefits.

If they were, they would do the same.

Some of the wealthy merchants asked, "How are you going to sell your fire mouse fur?"

It was also the first time they had seen this thing, so they really had no reference for its price.

The old abbot replied: "Although it is something in rumors, it is still just a piece of clothing after all. Therefore, the starting price is set at ten taels of gold, and each increase in price should not be lower than one tael of gold."

Although several rich merchants felt that it was a bit expensive, it was still acceptable, after all, it was something rumored.

After hearing this, Wang Qing saw that he was powerless to stop the auction, so he thought of saving less money.

So I found a few wealthy businessmen who were about to leave and said: "You all know that I need the fire mouse fur because I was entrusted by someone. The person only gave me 30 taels of gold. If the price exceeds this price, I need to pay in advance."

"I have a good relationship with that person, but the money I can advance is limited. I hope you will not be too embarrassing tomorrow."

"If the premium is too high, I just don't want it. The Fire Rat Qiuben is an extremely difficult item to find. Even if I can't find it here, it won't affect my relationship with that person."

Several businessmen were thoughtful after hearing this, and they also wondered why Wang Qing suddenly wanted to buy the fire mouse fur.

So there is some truth in what Wang Qing said to them. Their previous idea of ​​"no matter how high the price is to buy, Wang Qing will always take it away at a higher price" is no longer feasible.

And Wang Qing didn't say where the upper limit of advance payment was, so they could only guess by themselves.

At that time, if the premium is too high and Wang Qing doesn't want it, they will be in a loss-making business.

Although dozens of taels of gold is not much to them, if it spreads among wealthy businessmen, it will affect their face.

In fact, there is another point. The funds Wang Qing obtained from the right minister were 50 taels of gold. He deliberately said that it was 30 taels in order to save some money.

He was also worried that Minister You would not return the gold he had advanced after receiving the fire mouse fur.

The other party is the right minister of that country, equivalent to the prime minister in Song Dynasty, his status is so noble, if he really wants to renege on his debt, what can he do.

So if the premium is too high, he feels that the risk is greater than the benefit, and he really won't pay for it.

Ono Fangshou didn't know anything about the business world, and he was too happy in Quyuan Street these two days, his footsteps were sloppy, his attention was not in front of him, and he had already drifted to the girl in Quyuan Street.

There are also some family members of criminal ministers there, who used to be real daughters and noble ladies, but now they have to carefully serve him, who has been a retainer for more than ten years.

Not to mention how refreshing the sense of accomplishment in my heart is.

After leaving the temple, Ono Fangshou plunged into Quyuan Street again, regardless of his already weak body.

As someone who has experienced it, Wang Qing knows that the body is the capital of everything.

In places like Quyuan Street, it’s fine to go there once in a while, but if you go too often, you won’t even be able to afford the public food at home.

That night, Xu Cheng brought Xu Fu's processed fake fire mouse coat to the temple, and handed the fake fire mouse coat to the old abbot.

The old abbot attaches great importance to the auction, because [-]% of the proceeds belong to him!By rounding up, he is making money for himself, can this not be taken seriously?

Seeing this, Xu Cheng didn't say much. At this stage, his plan was almost completed.

However, he still had to watch Huoshuqiu enter the hands of Wang Qing and Fangshou Xiaoye before he could rest assured.

At noon the next day, after Xu Cheng delivered Fujiwara Meihong to Xu Fu, he came to the temple alone.

When he arrived, all the merchants had already taken their seats, and the auction was about to begin.

Xu Cheng looked around and found Wang Qing, but did not see Ono Fangshou.

Xu Cheng was a little puzzled, but he didn't go forward to ask. Anyway, if it is in the hands of Wang Qing, it is equivalent to being in the hands of the right minister.

At this time, Onoboshou was lying on the woman's belly and fell asleep.

Last night, he called a mother and daughter Hua, he was so tired that in his dream, his waist was sore, and he couldn't even get up at this point.

And Wang Qing, in fact, deliberately did not call Xiaoye Fangshou, because in this way, how much gold he paid depends entirely on his words, and he can take the opportunity to ask the right minister for a sum of money.

Some of the merchants sitting here were attracted by the name of the Fire Mouse Fur. They might have thought of buying the Fire Mouse Fur, but when they heard the starting price of ten taels of gold, most of their thoughts were lost.

It's just a piece of clothing, so expensive to buy, I'm afraid I dare not wear it out.

It wasn't until the old abbot took out the fire mouse fur that these merchants understood why the starting price of the fire mouse fur was ten taels of gold.

Because the price of the jewelry on its surface is about ten taels of gold!

So the price rose very quickly, and it reached 1 taels of gold in less than a minute.

At this time, some people had already stopped, because the jewelry on the Fire Rat fur was only worth ten taels of gold, which was equivalent to buying a piece of clothing with ten taels of gold. Whose clothes were so expensive.

Although the people who come here are all short of dozens of taels of gold, it doesn't mean that they are being taken advantage of.

The rising trend of prices slowed down, but the merchants who knew that Wang Qing's bottom line was at least 30 taels of gold did not stop asking for prices.

All of a sudden, Wang Qing, who had never asked for a price, spoke up.

"50 taels! I'll offer 50 taels! Everyone, this is my bottom line. I hope you will forgive others."

Chapter 290 Do you want to kill solo offline?

The merchants who were reminded by Wang Qing hesitated.

The price was suddenly raised by Wang Qing from more than 20 taels to 50 taels, which is equivalent to doubling, and it is indeed higher than the 30 taels that Wang Qing said before.

If they continue to bid, they will bear the risk that Wang Qing will not buy.

As long as Wang Qing didn't buy this fire mouse fur, it would be worth 20 taels of gold at most.

At that time, those who bought the fire mouse fur with more than 50 taels of gold will not only lose dozens of taels of gold, but also become a joke among the insiders.

After thinking about it for a while, some wealthy businessmen chose to give up, while others bet that this was not Wang Qing's bottom line and that he was lying.

So, just when the old abbot was about to set the transaction price at 50 taels, someone spoke up.

"I gave 51 taels."

Only add one or two at a time, and anyone can see what he means by temptation.

Wang Qing's eyes widened immediately, and she glared at the bidder, then said through gritted teeth, "52 taels! My friend, don't be so rude."

Perhaps he heard Wang Qing's warning, or perhaps after seeing Wang Qing's reaction, he thought that this price was indeed Wang Qing's bottom line, so the one who called for the price stopped.

However, after a while, another faint voice came from the crowd.

"55 taels."

Wang Qing looked at the source of the voice, but saw a masked man, Wang Qing said: "Are you sincerely fighting against me?"

Everyone present was also curious as to who would dare to oppose Wang Qing.

Wang Qing's family power is one of the best in this city, and he doesn't have any mortal enemies. What kind of mentality does this masked man have?

Facing Wang Qing's questioning, the masked man had no intention of opening his mouth.

Seeing that the deal was about to be concluded, Wang Qing shouted with a troubled expression, "56 taels!"

As soon as the words fell, the masked man said again calmly: "60 taels."

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd. If it was the last time, they would not be sure what this person came for.

Now it is basically confirmed that this person is here to target Wang Qing.

60 taels of gold, before today, who would have thought that a piece of clothing could be sold at a high price of 60 taels of gold.

Everyone expected Wang Qing to bid a higher price, so that they could brag to their friends when they returned.

For example, when the most expensive clothes in history were auctioned, they were there.

However, Wang Qing didn't like everyone's wishes. He gave the masked man a hard look, and then sat down, as if he didn't intend to participate in the bidding.

In the end, the fire mouse fur was sold at a price of 60 taels.

Wang Qing didn't bid any more in the end.

The wealthy businessman who previously asked for 51 taels was relieved. It seems that 50 taels is indeed Wang Qing's bottom line, and he has endured to add to the subsequent prices.

Adding a few taels, Wang Qing could still accept it, but if it exceeded ten taels, Wang Qing couldn't accept it, so she chose to give up.

Judging from Wang Qing's current expression, he was very angry with that masked man.

However, if others don't know that Wang Qing got 50 taels of principal from Minister You, how could Xu Cheng not know about it!

He had read the letter written by Minister You to Wang Qing.

So there is something wrong with the man in black and Wang Qing!

But now that the auction was over, all the merchants present also left one after another, so Xu Cheng could only mix in the crowd and pretend to leave, but actually hid himself and observed the situation in secret.

Wang Qing did not leave with the crowd, but just sat on the chair and stared at the masked man.

Everyone also understood Wang Qing's emotions very well. It was normal for Wang Qing to be dissatisfied when a good auction was suddenly targeted by a guy with no eyesight.

Next, whether Wang Qing wants to kill the masked man offline alone, or wants to make a deal with the masked man and use more money to buy the Huoshuqiu back, it has nothing to do with the people who left.

However, some people still choose to stay, wanting to see what kind of sparks will collide between Wang Qing and the masked man.
