"What the hell? Can't we talk properly? You guys keep talking about dozens of dollars. Are you doing this on purpose?”
Elder Zhao exploded. Now, everyone wanted to take a lot. There was no way to negotiate.
The group of people stared at each other, not giving in to each other. No one wanted others to take the lead.
This time, only Xia Hong was still sitting on his chair with a smile, not saying a word.
He only had so many radishes anyway. Whoever could take more would be considered the most capable. He could just sit at the side and watch the show.
Then, other than Xiao Li, everyone else present was an old fox. How could they let him stay out of this?
"Brat Xia, you are selling radishes, so you should give me some rules. Otherwise, we won't be able to talk about it tomorrow.”
Elder Wang suddenly turned his head to look at Xia Hong, throwing this difficult problem to Xia Hong.
Hearing Elder Wang's words, the others also stopped arguing and looked at Xia Hong in unison.
"How about this? There are still 181 radishes left. There are a total of eight of you here. Each of you will get ten radishes first, so there are only 101 radishes left.
I'll take out the single one from the middle and divide the rest into ten groups of ten. The highest bidder will get it. How about it?”
As Xia Hong spoke, he took out a radish from the pile of radishes, removed the soil on it, and started eating it with a crunching sound.
"Good boy, you've finally revealed your purpose. But this is a good idea. At least you don't have to waste your breath.”
Elder Wang laughed, thinking that he had caught Xia Hong's little trick.
However, just like what he said, he didn't mind. The seller would definitely want to sell it at a higher price. There was nothing much to say.
"Yes, Xiao Xia's idea is not bad. I don't have to argue with you old men anymore.”
"Just do as Xiao Xia says."
"Come, come, come. Xiao Xia, you can temporarily act as the auctioneer. We'll settle the remaining 100 radishes by auction.”
The other elders who came with Elder Wang also agreed.
The six of them followed the format of the auction house and first set up a table, letting Xia Hong take ten radishes and put them on it.
Then, he asked Xia Hong to bring a stainless steel basin and a rolling pin from the kitchen as the auction hammer.
In the end, they sat behind the table and lined up in two rows, acting as buyers.
This series of actions stunned Xia Hong and Wang Pengyun.
Xia Hong looked at the rolling pin in his hand and felt that it was especially funny.
"Seniors, I haven't even seen an auction, let alone an auctioneer. I don't know how to do it.”
Xia Hong really didn't know about this. He had just graduated not long ago and was a child of an ordinary family. How could he have the opportunity to see this?
"It's okay. We will. We will remind you.”
But Elder Wang did not understand Xia Hong. Instead, he waved his hand and got everyone to start quickly.
"Why are you still standing there? Announce the starting price and the basic increase in price.”
Seeing that Xia Hong was still stunned there, Elder Wang reminded him in a bad mood.
Xia Hong seemed to wake up from a dream. Since he was already chased away, he would not decline.
He had never seen pork before, so how could he not have seen pigs run? Xia Hong knocked on the basin with a rolling pin.
"Ten radishes. The starting price is 1000 yuan. Each bid must be no less than 100 yuan.”
Just as Xia Hong finished speaking, Elder Wang raised his hand."I bid 1500."
"I'll give you 2000."
"2500."
“……”
Next, Xia Hong did not have the chance to speak again.
Old Sixth Wang's words pushed the price of the radish higher and higher. Xia Hong, the temporary auctioneer, had completely become a decoration.
"I'll give you 5000. It's fine as long as it's interesting. Aren't there still nine groups? Don't let that Xia kid watch us from the start.”
It was only until Elder Wang said this that the first batch of radishes finally ended.
The elders knew that this temporary auction was just a gimmick.
The main thing was that everyone wanted to have fun. It was meaningless to keep bidding.
Therefore, no one refuted Elder Wang's words.
As for Wang Pengyun and Little Li, they were completely reduced to spectators. Even if it was just a joke in the eyes of Elder Wang and the others, it was not something they could participate in.
However, they were not dejected. When the two of them helped Xia Hong pull out the radishes, the number of radishes that Xia Hong was promised, they each had at least 40 radishes.
Not only that, but the price of these 80 radishes was 100 yuan each. It was considered very good.
Therefore, when the two of them saw this situation, they knew their limits and did not say anything else. They quietly watched Sixth Wang and the others buy all 100 radishes.
"Alright, I announce that the last batch of radishes has been won by Elder Qian at the price of 7000 yuan.”
Xia Hong knocked hard on the steel basin, ending this auction that couldn't be any more sloppy.
Placing the last radish next to Elder Qian, Xia Hong distributed ten radishes to each of the eight people present. The sale of radishes this time was completed.
Not to mention anything else, just the 100 radishes from this auction had brought him more than 70,000 yuan, far exceeding his expectations.
Elder Wang and the others had no objections to the number of radishes they had bought. It could be said that everyone was happy.
