Chapter 165 Auction
But it is obvious that An Qiao is not the only one interested in this land.
As soon as Gu Qingyun finished speaking, a few people held up signs.
"From now on, the starting price is sixty taels." Gu Qingyun said.
An Qiao silently wrote down a bottom number for herself in her heart and joined the auction.
"Sixty-five taels."
"seventy!"
"Seventy-five taels."
"Eighty taels."
……
The two shopkeepers did not show off their abilities, but they were actually competing with each other.
An Qiao did not interrupt until both of them reluctantly raised the price from five taels to one tael.
An Qiaocai raised the sign, "One hundred and thirty-six taels."
The two shopkeepers immediately shifted their focus to a different direction, and both turned around to glare at An Qiao.
Seeing that it was a young lady, he became even more furious. "What do you mean?" The shopkeeper, who had always been suppressed, immediately retorted with a red face.
"Raise the price." An Qiao didn't indulge him and looked at the shopkeeper leisurely.
"You...you...you little girl, stop showing off. It's really a betrayal for a young lady not to stay at home to take care of her husband and children."
Before the shopkeeper could finish his threatening words, Gu Qingyun started beating the drum.
"One hundred and thirty-six taels at a time,
One hundred and thirty six two two times
One hundred and thirty-six two or three times...
make a deal! "
As they were urged to pay, the two shopkeepers felt that the price was a bit high and that this was not a must.
Although this shop has a good location next to a market, it is still not as good as the shop in Kyoto Prefecture in terms of profits. Moreover, the cost of picking up and delivering goods every day and hiring people to look after the store is really outrageous.
But no matter what, he always felt that losing to a young lady was not worthy of being seen, so he could only turn around and look at An Qiao again and again.
Originally, the two men asked for one hundred and twenty taels, but because neither of them was willing to give in, the price kept getting higher and higher.
If I had called someone else, I would have given up long ago.
"Congratulations to Miss Anqiao of Kyoto Restaurant for winning a shop in the south of the city." Gu Qingyun directly handed the deed to the clerk beside him, and the clerk walked towards Anqiao with the deed.
An Qiao also took the deed and thanked him with a smile.
On the other side, Gu Qingyun started to take pictures of another item without stopping.
The next item was also sold at a low-priced shop, still outside the city but relatively remote, and was eventually sold for fifteen taels.
An Qiao couldn't help but sigh that no matter which region, the location is really important.
Several more items were put up for auction, but An Qiao was not interested in any of them.
Until the time came to sell the house, to be honest, An Qiao was very satisfied with where she lived now, and she felt that if possible, she would like to live there forever.
"The next one is a house left over from an old case." When he said this, Gu Qingyun seemed to glance at An Qiao.
"The owner of this shop lived in another house. His family of three, including his father, mother and sister, were killed by thieves overnight. This place is where their eldest son was at that time. It was precisely because his son was not in the old house that he saved his life." Gu Qingyun paused and told the location of the house.
Originally, An Qiao was still a little disappointed, but when she thought of Gu Qingyun's look, she thought seriously about the location of the house that Gu Qingyun mentioned.
This is on the back of another street, which is the entrance that Kyoto Restaurant is still missing. If this house is taken, Kyoto Restaurant will become a square house.
Many shopkeepers are somewhat familiar with this place. It is indeed located in a quiet residential area, but the area mentioned by Gu Qingyun is not too large, not even enough for a family to live in. It can only be regarded as a second residence.
Everyone lives together as a large family, and there are very few independent houses. However, some people think it is not bad to buy a house at a small price, at least they can sell it in the future.
"Sir Shaoqing, may I ask what problem has occurred with this house? Why does that young master want to sell it?" Everyone is a business man and they understand the significance of a haunted house to a businessman, so no one wants to touch a haunted house.
"That young man has been in pain every day since his parents and sister passed away. He never dared to visit this house again and only handed it over to an old housekeeper to look after. But such pain tortured him, and he has been very gloomy since then. He has not made any achievements in all these years, and his temper has even become weirder. A few months ago, he killed the son of the murderer who killed his parents and sister in the street and was arrested in another government office. No one knows how long he has been planning, but the die is cast. All the debts he left behind can only be mortgaged with the house." After Gu Qingyun finished speaking, several shopkeepers who wanted to raise their cards put down their cards vaguely.
Although this is not a haunted house, I always feel that it is not very auspicious. What if there is something wrong with the feng shui of this house?
But some people didn't care about this and held up signs.
This time, An Qiao did not play the long game to catch a big fish, but instead followed others and raised the sign.
In the end, An Qiao bought the house for one hundred and fifty taels.
At this point, Kyoto restaurants have completed their transformation into a square shape.
An Qiao sighed softly, it’s really not easy.
Although Qi Tao on the side did not say anything, he felt that his young lady was really decisive in her actions.
If it were me, I probably wouldn't dare to make a decision so quickly.
Auctions are indeed an eye-opener.
Next, there were some scattered bottles and jars. Perhaps because he was afraid that some bosses would not feel involved, Gu Qingyun took out some rare treasures, some of which were stolen goods and some of which were confiscated utensils.
In short, everyone got one or two such items, but An Qiao was not very interested in them.
Perhaps placing them in a restaurant would enhance the style, but her restaurant originally had a rustic style, and the utensils and vases inside were mostly crude pottery that she bought in the market.
An Qiao thinks this kind of coarse pottery is quite textured and beautiful.
What's more, even if it is broken in the restaurant, you don't have to feel bad about it, you can just sweep it away.
Then there were several large houses, but An Qiao was not interested at all. Moreover, these houses basically occupied a large area, and if there were not more than a dozen people in the family, all the rooms would not be able to accommodate them.
Next is the Huguang Mansion that An Qiao had been waiting for for a long time. This mansion can be said to be known to everyone in Kyoto Prefecture.
He has a bad reputation.
And twice.
So when the starting price was fifty taels, An Qiao was stunned.
But even though it was only sold for fifty taels, no one raised a bid.
No one wants to take a haunted house home. This house is uninhabitable and no one dares to do anything with it. Everyone looks at each other in confusion.
An Qiao thought about it and raised the card, "Fifty taels."
Everyone looked at An Qiao in astonishment. The two people who had just been retorted by An Qiao were even more gloating and said, "Young lady, you don't know where this place is, hehehe."
