Chapter 689 You poor guy

Boss An felt very uneasy when he saw the two wealthy businessmen from Jinling coming. As soon as the hammer fell, he immediately shouted: "Five hundred and fifty taels."

Dou Shaodongs family said, Jianghuai people are stingy. Ill bid you eight hundred taels.

Boss An was confused. He looked at the young man and said, "Do you know how to do business? Where can you pay so much for one price?"

Dou Shaodong's family is very wealthy. After giving Boss An a "you poor guy" look, he said arrogantly: "It's just eight hundred taels of silver, not eight hundred taels of gold. What's the fuss? The ham is worth this price." Three Cooked fresh every year, such a treasure will definitely become a New Year gift that the powerful people in the capital compete for."

This is what Dou Shaodong's family is looking for. The powerful people in the capital are rich and have good face. The more expensive the New Year's gift is, the more face they will have.

Boss An was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He was a veteran in the business field and stopped following the price for fear of raising the price too high.

But Dong Dongs family said: Eight hundred and fifty taels.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Qi also shouted, "Nine hundred taels," in order to flatter the Gu family.

Hurry up if you want to bid. He doesn't want to spend nine hundred taels on a pig leg. He just responds to the situation and shouts casually to show his goodwill to the Gu family.

Boss An was so angry that he vomited blood, but he still refused to follow.

Ouyang Hu made a bid at this time: "One thousand taels. The ham is made of colored glaze in the meat and is the pearl of the sea. It is worth a thousand taels."

In one sentence, the price of ham was completely raised. Since then, many people have called ham glazed meat, and this is also the beginning.

The Dou Shaodong familys eyes lit up. Mom, Liulirou, Mr. Ouyang, your words are worth more than ham. The Dou Shaodong family is even more determined to transport the ham to the capital for auction.

But he did not follow the price and left the first ham auctioned to Mr. Ouyang, which would build momentum for him to auction hams in the future.

He was the first to stand up and said: "Mr. Ouyang is famous far and wide and is our elder. You should bid for the first ham. The younger generation will not follow the price."

Having said so, Dong Dongs family will naturally not follow him again.

Gu Jinan asked three times if there was anyone else bidding? After seeing no one bid, he hammered the iron block and shouted loudly: "Mr. Ouyang bought Yanfu ham for one thousand taels!"

He brought the high-quality oil paper and wrapped the ham for Mr. Ouyang himself. Although it was wrapped in oil paper, the cloth strip tied with the ham was of great quality.

Mr. Ouyang is well-informed and saw at a glance that the strip of cloth was actually a long piece of embroidery with a blessing scripture embroidered on it, and there were four words embroidered on the end of the strip of cloth: Mr. Fu'an.

"This is Mr. Fu'an's embroidery." Ouyang Hu was very surprised: "This ham is worth buying, and I can even get a small embroidery by Mr. Fu'an."

Boss An and the others were shocked when they heard this: "Is it really Mr. Fu'an's embroidery?"

They know that Mr. Fu'an is an embroiderer who suddenly appeared three years ago. He is famous for his vivid characters and rural scenes. He can also embroider some scriptures and is very popular with the old lady of the aristocratic family. Boss An's wife also bought a piece of embroidery by Mr. Fu'an at a high price. She keeps it as a treasure every day and will not be touched easily. She will only show it off during banquets.

It cant be fake, right? Boss Tian asked vaguely, but he didnt believe it. The dignified embroidery master from Fuan would embroider strips of cloth for Yanfulou to tie hams. Who would believe it if I told him about it?

However, Ouyang Hu said: "It is genuine. I have two pieces of embroidery by Mr. Fu'an at home. The embroidery method of the font size is exactly the same as this one, without any difference."

Mr. Fu'an's font size is composed of a unique auspicious cloud pattern. These auspicious cloud patterns are very complicated, but there are traces to follow. As long as you look carefully, you will know whether they are true or false.

Ouyang Hu smiled and said: "I have made a profit, you can decide for yourself whether you want to buy it or not." The whole Dou Shaodong family was excited. When the second ham started to be shot, one thousand five hundred taels were paid out. Bought at a high price, the third ham was bought by Dong Dongs family.

Boss An kept refusing to bid, but he saw the price getting higher and higher, and Gu Jinan also said: "In order to ensure the price of ham, our Yanfu Building will only auction ten hams this year."

With one sentence, Boss An almost made Boss An curse. In desperation, he could only buy three hams at a high price of 1,800 taels each. A total of more than 5,000 taels of silver was spent. He almost fell to the ground with anger.

But after he recovered, Boss An was already thinking about how to double the sales of these three hams.

Mr. Hu was dumbfounded. He originally wanted to buy some hams to be auctioned at Futai House, but when he saw how expensive the hams were, he was too frightened to bid. He felt like he would lose everything once he made a bid.

Afraid. Afraid.

Hu Dongjia wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and his body was shaking.

The ten hams were auctioned off in less than two-quarters of an hour. Dou Shaodong's family was wealthy and they bought four hams, Boss An's three, Dong Dong's two, and Ouyang Hu's one.

Dong Dong's family pointed at Dou Shaodong's family and said, "You are so ruthless. You ate four out of ten hams and didn't leave any for me, the Dong family."

Dou Shaodong's family smiled and said: "Uncle Dong, it's enough for you to take two hams. As soon as these two hams are placed in your Yifeng Garden, the literati and wealthy people from Jiangnan will immediately gather and pay high prices to take your hams. Although you only bought two hams, you can at least get the price of ten hams by then, and you can also make your Dong family famous, and you will make enough money."

Dou Shaodong's family was very smart. He told Dong Dong's family on the carriage that after he took the ham, he would not sell it in Jiangnan, but would transport it to the capital and steal the money from the nobles in the capital, so that Dong Dong's family would not raise the price with him.

The Dong family agreed, and it was a win-win for both of them today.

Magistrate Zheng, Magistrate Fang, and Lieutenant Jiang were shocked to see that the pig legs were sold for a thousand taels of silver!

Fang Xiancheng wiped his hands with cold sweat. This pig leg was too valuable.

Magistrate Zheng came to his senses after being surprised and invited Ouyang Hu: "Mr. Ouyang, today is the winter solstice. It is fate that we have met. Please be kind enough to spend the winter at your house."

Brother Cheng was very good at doing things and said to Ouyang Hu: "Grandpa Ouyang, you can go to Brother Qing's house to celebrate the winter solstice. As long as you go, I will ask the second sister to give you a jar of Yanfu wine, the kind you just drank. , a wine specially paired with ham.

Ouyang Hu likes to drink prepared wine, but: "Yanfu wine, this name is too casual."

Yanfu Tower, Yanfu Ham, Yanfu Wine, these are names chosen to save trouble. Cheng Geer and his second sister are really too lazy to do it.

Cheng Ge'er smiled and said: "My second sister said that the word Yanfu is easy to remember and brings good luck. Besides, Yanfu wine and Yanfu ham, others will know that they are from our Yanfu Tower."

However, his second sister finally said that she was just lazy and didn't want to waste her brains thinking of a name.

Ouyang Hu laughed when he heard this: "In that case, I will go to Zheng Mansion to make some noise."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Zheng was overjoyed and very grateful to Brother Cheng. Erlang of the Gu family was indeed a good man for helping the Zheng family like this.

Zheng Ying admired Mr. Ouyang Hu very much and said after hearing this: "Uncle, my nephew, Dong Dong's family and Dou Shaodong's family are also going to the house to make trouble."

Dong Dongs family has two sons. They really want to associate with a great scholar like Ouyang Hu, and this is a dream.
