When the third group of maids walked onto the high platform carrying trays, this time everyone didn't even think about it. They directly picked up their invitations and looked at them. These people had learned to be smart and could sum up. They knew that this invitation was not just An invitation is rather an introduction to the lot.
When they opened to the third page and saw the exquisite glass bottles painted on it, their breathing inevitably became rapid.
Glaze, this thing is rare and even more valuable. It can only be produced in Persia. It has been transported to the Tang Dynasty by some Persian merchants and transported to the Tang Dynasty for sale.
Along the way, these Persian merchants had to encounter sandstorms, torrents, and even bandits. As a result, there were very few Persian merchants who could reach Chang'an. Therefore, colored glaze was very scarce and the price was very expensive. Generally, only those big families could make it. There is a collection of colored glaze, which is more valuable than gold.
Seeing that Luo Zhang actually wanted to sell glass bottles, how could everyone here not feel short of breath and extremely excited. They were even more grateful that Luo Zhang, a prodigal, had lost well and lost wonderfully.
After putting down the invitations, everyone looked intently at the three trays held by the three maids on the high platform, wanting to see what the colored glaze in the trays looked like.
Luo Zhang didn't whet his appetite, but directly lifted the red cloth on the first maid's tray.
At this time, the light above Luo Zhang's head shone even brighter, shining on the glass bottle on the tray below, making the glass bottle shine with various colors and crystal clear colors.
Such a beautiful glass vase is simply a rare treasure. Everyone in the Yanlai building was deeply fascinated by it and kept swallowing their saliva. It was beautiful. It was so beautiful. They had never seen such a beautiful thing. thing.
This glass vase is more exquisite than any glassware they have ever seen. The glass brought by the Persians is just dregs compared to this one, and there is no comparison at all.
Not only everyone downstairs, but also Li Shimin on the fourth floor stared. At this time, he finally knew that Luo Zhang had told him that he had something good that he wanted to appreciate. It was indeed a good thing, and it was indeed worthy of his appreciation. It's just that Luo Zhang wants to auction such a good thing. He is really a waste of money and a prodigal!
Eunuch Huang naturally saw the desire in His Majesty's eyes, and secretly scolded Luo Zhang for being ignorant. How could such a good thing be put up for auction? He should pay tribute to His Majesty.
But before Eunuch Huang could change his mind, there was a knock on the door. Eunuch Huang was a little confused and opened the door. He saw Zhao Tianhu trembling outside the door, holding a tray, bowing and holding it over his head, saying: " Your Majesty, Luo Zhang asked me to send this to you for tasting, saying it is the best one. As for the ones being auctioned downstairs, they are defective, I hope you don’t mind!"
Eunuch Huang's eyes lit up. Just now he was thinking that Luo Zhang was ignorant, but he didn't expect that this little guy was waiting here. Wonderful, really wonderful, such a smart little guy. He is worthy of being favored by His Majesty. This is all. , he deserves it!
Taking the tray from Zhao Tianhu, Eunuch Huang turned around and walked towards the box, came to His Majesty's side, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, come and appreciate it, this is specially prepared for you by Luo Zhang, it is the best among all glazed vessels. Excellent products, according to him, the items being auctioned downstairs are all defective items, which are completely incomparable to this!"
Li Shimin naturally heard the movement outside the door. Now that he heard Eunuch Huang's words, Li Shimin turned his head and looked at the tray held in Eunuch Huang's hand, his eyes also bursting with unimaginable energy.
Luo Zhang is right. Compared with the one in front of you, the ones downstairs are completely defective. This glassware is very special. It is white as a whole, like mutton-fat white jade. Although the one downstairs is crystal clear, it is not. This piece is noble, this piece is indeed, as Luo Zhang said, a rare and precious product.
What makes Li Shimin a little confused is how this glass bottle, which looks like mutton-fat white jade, has a familiar smell.
The tip of his nose twitched a few times, Li Shimin wrinkled slightly, and then he brought the bottle to his face and took a sniff. Only then did he realize that the smell was actually the smell of the Maotai he had drunk.
"Excessive consumption of natural things, excessive consumption of natural things. This kid Luo Zhang actually used such a rare treasure to put it in Maotai. He really deserves to be beaten and punished! It's outrageous, it's outrageous!" Li Shimin said to Luo Zhang that he used this glass bottle to store it. Maotai almost felt itchy with hatred.
If Luo Zhang knew about this, he would cry to death. This was a bottle containing Maotai. Even though he washed it many times with water, he still couldn't wash away the smell of Maotai. In desperation, he had no choice but to give it to His Majesty. .
He had long thought that His Majesty would be displeased when he saw him auctioning the glass bottles, so he had prepared the Moutai bottles before and asked Zhao Tianhu to deliver them to His Majesty after the third game. The effect was certain, but he still underestimated the The value of Maotai bottles is no wonder that Li Shimin scolded him so much.
Naturally, Luo Zhang didn't know anything about what happened upstairs. At this time, he was working hard to introduce the glass bottles in front of him. Ahem, Erguotou bottles. He applied almost all the kind words to this place, which would not be seen on the streets in later generations. He had a weird feeling about the Erguotou bottles that people picked up, but he worked hard to sell the Erguotou bottles at a good price.
"Okay, I've said what needs to be said. The starting price for this ice jade glass bottle is one hundred gold, and the highest bidder will win!" Luo Zhang said and knocked the gavel to signal the auction to begin.
After the hammer fell, someone on the first floor took the lead in making an offer.
"One hundred gold!"
"If you have the nerve to say a hundred gold coins, I'll pay you a hundred and twenty gold coins!"
"I'll pay you one hundred and fifty gold!"
"One hundred and eighty gold!"
"Aren't you tired of increasing the price little by little? I, Old Cheng, bid three hundred gold!" Ever since Cheng Yaojin bought a jar of Dahongpao, he felt that he was a discerning person. He felt that this ice jade The glassware was worth three hundred gold. It was even said that if he took the three hundred gold, he could resell it for four hundred gold, just like the jar of Dahongpao before, which could earn ten thousand taels of silver.
Hearing Cheng Yaojin's bid, many people took a breath and stopped the urge to bid. Three hundred gold is equivalent to thirty thousand taels of silver. This is not a small amount. Many people on the first floor They didn't dare to say anything. This was completely beyond their ability to bear. If it was two hundred gold, they could still afford it. Three hundred gold would be a bit too much. Of course, it didn't mean that no one would pay the starting price on the first floor. Those merchants But they are all extremely rich. In Luo Zhang's eyes, these people are piglets who can be slaughtered at any time.
Cheng Yaojin's bidding can scare the people on the first floor, but it can't scare the people on the second and third floors. The first person to jump out and challenge Cheng Yaojin is naturally his old enemy, the black charcoal leader Wei Chi Jingde.
"I'll pay you three hundred and twenty gold!"
Yuchi Jingde did not continue to compete with Cheng Yaojin for the big red robe before, which made him very regretful. This time, he was determined not to give it to Cheng Yaojin again. You know, he was despised by Cheng Yaojin just now. He couldn't hold his head up. He had never been so humiliated before.
So instead of eating steamed buns to fight for your reputation, you have to fight for everything you say.
However, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde were not the only ones who wanted this ice jade glazed vessel. Some people did not bother to compete with them before. They did not really need the big red robe, but now it is different. This ice jade glazed vessel can As a family heirloom, whoever doesn't like it will give in to it.
"I'll pay three hundred and fifty gold!" In another side hall on the fourth floor, Li Xiaogong showed a lewd smile and said slowly.
Cheng Yaojin originally wanted to curse, but when he heard the price shouting coming from upstairs, he suppressed the words that came to his lips, almost causing him internal injuries.
Cheng Yaojin dared to offend other people, but Cheng Yaojin would never dare to offend the person on the fourth floor who made the noise. Even though Li Xiaogong usually looked like he was playing in the world, laughing and joking, if he knew that he He was a murderous demon back then, so no one would look at him like this anymore. Cheng Yaojin was also a little jealous of Li Xiaogong, how could he dare to argue with him.
As for Yuchi Jingde, he also heard the bidding call on the fourth floor. Seeing Cheng Yaojin's silence, he felt contempt in his heart. However, he was not a fool. He didn't want to offend Li Xiaogong on the fourth floor, so he might as well sell the ice jade glazed ware to Li Xiaogong as a favor. Just give it to him.
Some people gave in, but some were unwilling to give in. A sudden voice came from a compartment on the first floor.
"I'll pay you four hundred gold!"
