Chapter 14 The Most Expensive Beer Bottle in History

The energy of Xu Chang in Zhending County was indeed not blown out. In just over an hour, the news that Chu Yu would take advantage of the Western Regions Seven Treasures Glazed Bottle in Zuixianlou was spread throughout the county. After all, Zhending County was only two or three kilometers in a radius, which was the size of most county towns in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Many children of gentry and wealthy merchants became very interested in this after hearing the news. After all, the news said that it was a matter of taking advantage of the situation at a low price and taking advantage of it. Who wouldn’t want to do it?

So, in the afternoon, the largest restaurant in Zuixianlou was directly full, because it had not been so lively in the county for a long time.

Chu Yu and Baoer, who came with a box containing beer bottles, were surrounded by everyone as soon as they entered the restaurant. This is the benefit of public opinion promotion. The thing has not yet appeared! Many people expressed their willingness to bid for it.

"Miss Chu, this is Yuan Chang, the head of the Yuan Zhending branch. Zhang Xiu, the manager of Zhang's businessman in Zhending, and Su Li, the manager of Su's businessman, wait a moment, Wuji Zhen's businessman will come here. As for the others, they are all people who can speak in the local small and medium-sized gentry and wealthy families, but they may not be able to pay a very high price." Xu Chang introduced to her in a low voice after Chu Yu came in.

In fact, Chu Yu had never seen such a scene before, but because Xu Chang and a group of fellow disciples were present to support her, she felt a lot of confidence.

After putting the box containing the beer bottle on a table in the middle of the hall, Chu Yu bowed and greeted everyone, "I believe you have heard that my brother is going to sell this bottle. The little woman doesn't say much about what it looks like and what price it is worth. Let everyone have a closer look after it carefully, and let us talk about it."

After saying that, Chu Yu and Baoer opened the tightly sealed wooden box together, and then slowly pulled the silk wrapped around the bottle. Suddenly, many people who were approaching saw a slightly colored glass bottle lying in the box.

After Chu Yu opened the box, he laid a silk scarf in the center of the table, and then carefully took the bottle out of the box and slowly placed it on the square scarf. Then he took two steps back and let everyone enjoy it.

What she didn't know was that after doing this series of careful and slow movements, everyone's psychological price of this bottle had increased by 30% out of thin air.

"It's actually colored glass, and it's transparent inside and outside."

"Yes! I have never seen this kind of glass in my life, and the carving patterns on this bottle..."

"How come this is carved? I look natural, there is no trace of carving axe..."

"Yes, yes, these patterns have rules, but they are not carved. If the bottle body naturally produces such regular patterns, it would be very rare..."

Various comments have been buzzing in the hall since this beer bottle appeared in front of everyone.

But when Chu Yu heard everyone's evaluation of this bottle, he was puzzled. Is this bottle really that powerful?

Or did Huo Hai successfully grasp the psychology of these people who want this bottle?

In fact, most of the beer bottles in later generations did not have any traces on the body. Only the "Harbin beer" sold by Huo Hai's family has a kind of undulating water ripples in the round arch position where the bottle mouth is thinner and thicker, which was fired on the industrial production line. Of course, there are no traces of hand-carved paintings when making pottery or porcelain in this era.

"Miss Chu, what is your seven-treasure glass bottle, what is your planned price?" Yuan Chang took the lead in asking the price after hearing everyone's promise.

In fact, the reason these people agreed was mostly because they had never seen such a transparent bottle, or even saw Liuli, which made them feel that it might be a very amazing treasure.

"Everyone knows that my northern land has suffered drought in the past two years and it is even colder in winter. My brother, because he couldn't bear to have his brothers endure hard, decided to sell this treasure. If it were a normal year, no matter how much money he had spent, my brother might not be able to sell it.

Because it does have some magical effects. It can cure the house and drive away evil spirits and play with it in your hands. It can calm people and feel comfortable. Take it out and turn bad things into good fortune without suffering...

My brother gradually grew stronger in more than a year after he got it.

However, it is always a bottle, which cannot withstand the power of heaven and earth. If this bottle is not sold, my brother and his brothers would probably not be able to survive the drought crisis.

Therefore, its price must be to help us Heishan Village to survive this winter's food, at least 300 stones." Chu Yu followed some lines taught by Huo Hai before and raised three fingers and said.

However, Huo Hai said too much and she didn't remember it all, so she was a little shorter, but just that, it made everyone here feel amazing.

"Three hundred stones of grain?"

After Chu Yu quoted this price, everyone looked at her incredible. You know, this is a disaster year, and the grain is most expensive, and even if you can really easily take out so much food, you may only have ten fingers sitting.

After all, the grain output in Zhending County is there. If there were dozens or hundreds of people in any county that could take out 300 stones of grain to exchange for another toy with others, then the Han Dynasty would not be like this now.

"Is this a bit too much of the three hundred stones of grain? Can you use coins or silk instead?" An old man who seemed to want to buy it asked Chu Yu.

When he asked, many other people who wanted to bargain frowned and it was hard to open their mouths.

After all, he has shown a strong desire to buy.

"You can use some coins or silk instead, but there must be a certain amount of grain." Chu Yu remembered that Huo Hai's car could not pull 100 stones of grain and nodded.

Hearing this, many people in the hall who wanted to buy suddenly relaxed their faces. If they could use other things to replace the food, then they would have a chance.

"Is there three hundred stones of grain? I have it in Wuji Zhen." Just as everyone began to discuss what to use to exchange this bottle, a middle-aged man in his thirties walked in and said.

He is the manager of Wuji Zhen’s family in Zhending. If anyone in Hebei has the most food, it must be their Zhen family. As the most wealthy businessman in the north and mainly engaged in the grain industry, they have no food, and I am afraid that the entire Han Dynasty will have no food.

"Then, you are going to exchange food for my treasure bottle." Chu Yu said a little surprised.

"That's right, my old lady loves this kind of Buddhist magic weapon the most. Girl, give me the bottle. Now I can go to our Zhen family's warehouse to get three hundred stones of food."

What is a luxury businessman?

Others bought it together, but he didn't bargain at all and wanted to take it away directly.

"Uh, Brother Zhen, you're a step late. I've bought this treasure bottle. Miss Chu, go to our Yuan family's warehouse to deliver grain. You can ask for millet, wheat, beans, or money, silk, it's up to you." Yuan Chang Zhen Ping wanted to buy it as soon as he came over. He immediately knew that even if this seven-treasure glass bottle was exchanged for three hundred stones of grain, it was worth it. He hurriedly rush to tell.

"Just like this bottle of wine, some people are rushing to buy the high price of 300 stones of grain?" After being shocked in his heart, Chu Yu suddenly remembered why Huo Hai asked her to find a way to gather many people together and then sell the bottles.

It turns out that this is also the trap set by Huo Hai.

Are these gentry and wealthy merchants short of money?

No shortage.

As long as your stuff is really good, they will bid for it.

However, there are greedy among them and want to take advantage of the opportunity.

Those who have good face want to show off in public.

For example, Wuji Zhen’s family has a seven-treasure glass bottle worth more than 100,000 yuan. If you tell me, Wuji Zhen’s family is very proud. But one day, Wuji Zhen’s family gives this glass bottle as a gift to others, the person who receives the gift will feel more respectful.

As for the scene in front of me, I obviously have become rich. If Huo Hai is here, he will definitely turn it into an auction on the spot, and the higher the price will be.

Chu Yu did not have that kind of business acumen, but even if she did nothing, she would not be able to do anything.

Because those who want to buy will make a fuss, and those who are truly rich and have good face will take the initiative to increase the price in order not to lose face.

"Have you made a deal? No! This proves that the deal has not been completed yet. Now, I not only pay 300 stones of grain, but also add another 100,000 yuan and ten pieces of silk." Zhen Ping glanced at Yuan Chang and looked at Chu Yu and said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yu, who was happy in his heart, was about to respond! Yuan Chang shouted, "Slowly, you can add it, I can add it too, Miss Chu, I will give you three hundred stones of grain, and I will add another 200,000 yuan, two pieces of silk and two pieces of linen."

When Chu Yu heard this, he was about to nod and agree, but Zhen Ping said, "Are you fighting wealth with our Wuji Zhen family? You Yuan family is not qualified.

Miss Chu, how about I give you five hundred stones of grain, plus 300,000 yuan, thirty pieces of silk, thirty pieces of linen, and thirty pieces of sheepskin? The value of these things is three times higher than the price you offer."

OK! The two attempts to speak were interrupted. This time, Chu Yu simply didn't rush to speak. They liked it, so they asked them to join.

Sure enough, Yuan Chang Zhen Ping added so much that he thought this glass bottle was a treasure, and said again, "Hmph, Wuji Zhen's family, but a merchant and others, they also want to compete with the Yuan family, which has been two thousand stones for generations?

Miss Chu, as the price he offered, I will add ten pigs and ten sheep to you.”

Needless to say, Chu Yu directly looked at Zhen Ping.

Only then did she know why Huo Hai told him that it would be better to find people from different backgrounds.

The gentry were born to look down on merchants, and top-level merchants like the Zhen family were indeed richer than most gentry members, and they wanted to compete for their own face.

So, Zhen Ping was stimulated by Yuan Chang's words, and gasped for two consecutive breaths, and said with red eyes, "I'll double it."

"What, what? Double?" Chu Yu's eyes stared at Zhen Ping instantly glared to the maximum, and asked Zhen Ping in disbelief.

"That's right, it's twice as much as one thousand stones of grain, six hundred thousand coins, sixty pieces of silk, sixty pieces of linen, sixty pieces of sheepskin, and twenty pigs and twenty sheep. If he dares to increase the price, I, Wuji Zhen, lose." Zhen Ping said gritting his teeth.

As soon as this was said, not only Chu Yu, but also Yuan Chang swallowed his saliva and kept silent. He was just the patriarch of a branch of the Yuan family in Zhending County. If he really took so much money and food, his family would be damaged.

"The deal is completed, Manager Zhen, this bottle belongs to you." After Chu Yu reacted, he picked up the beer bottle on the table and handed it to Zhen Ping.
Chapter completed!
