Chapter 401: Only Three Chances

When shopkeeper Zhou heard this, his eyes immediately turned strange, and his expression was one of surprise.

In other words, this thing didn’t belong to Lin Deshan. However, the person was not an ordinary farmer to put the flower at Lin Deshan’s shop for consignment instead of selling it directly to Lin Deshan.

Lin Deshan continued, “however, after she found out that I have a relationship with you, she told me to sell this to your auction house.”

Shopkeeper Zhou’s pupils shrank again. His expression was filled with shock, and a huge surprise drowned his heart.

However, he still calmly asked, “Deshan, is this true?” One must know that there was a huge difference in the price between selling an item directly to the auction house and having the house auction the item.

Shopkeeper Zhou was still a little unconvinced that the person behind this would give up on such a huge monetary benefit just like that.

Of course, Lin Deshan knew what his friend was thinking, so he said bluntly, “Brother Zhou, I’m living in Ning An Town now. I have a small medicine shop there, and she’s a villager there…” The implication was clear.

When shopkeeper Zhou heard this, he lightly patted the table with one hand. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was serious. It was as if he was evaluating whether the deal was worth it. He muttered to himself for a while before asking in a serious tone, “Deshan, where did he find this treasure?”

“Mount Da Ao!” Lin Deshan said. Mount Da Ao was the most dangerous mountain in Qingfeng province and even the entire Long Yan Kingdom.

There were many ferocious beasts on this mountain, and ordinary people didn’t dare to go there. Therefore, the person who went to pick this milkvetch was very capable.

Upon hearing this answer, shopkeeper Hu’s pupils contracted violently again. Then, he said decisively, “alright!”

Then, it was time to discuss the price of the flower.

Shopkeeper Zhou said very simply,” 30000 taels. I’ll buy this milkvetch flower for thirty thousand taels. ”

“No, it’s too low,” said Lin Deshan, shaking his head. He then raised five fingers and said, “50000 taels!”

‘Damn. You came out of the woodwork suddenly and tried to scam your friend.’ Shopkeeper Zhou ridiculed inwardly.

However, Shopkeeper Zhou did not back down and said, “no, it’s too high. Thirty-two thousand.”

If it didn’t sell for 50000 taels in the auction, he would have suffered a huge loss. But he knew the flower would fetch a great price. Who didn’t want to live for another ten years?

Lin Deshan shook his head in disagreement.

The final price was 40000 taels.

Lin Deshan knew that his friend was being very generous with the price. If it were someone else, they might have bought it for 20000 to 30000 Yuan.

After the two of them completed the handover procedures, shopkeeper Zhou asked, “Deshan, I plan to auction this item three days later. Are you staying?”

“So fast?” Lin Deshan asked, surprised.

Shopkeeper Zhou said, “this is a rare treasure. Of course, the earlier we auction it, the better.”

A merchant was a merchant, and he always pursued the greatest profit.

Lin Deshan thought for a moment and finally shook his head. “No. I’ll go back directly. ”

The young master of the Lin family, who had disappeared for so many years suddenly appeared at Guangjuyuan auction house. And not only that, he came with a milkvetch flower. Lin Deshan knew how suspicious that would look.

Shopkeeper Zhou had obviously thought of this as well. He then said with some regret, “alright. I won’t force you. Do you want me to send you back with a carriage?”

Lin Deshan shook his head. “No need.” His carriage was too ostentatious.

Lin Deshan left Qingfeng province on the same day.

Three days later, the auction that shocked the entire circle of nobles in the prefecture capital was held at Guangjuyuan.

…

When Lin Yuelan said that she wanted to buy that much land, the three were shocked.

Lin Yiwei couldn’t believe what he had heard. He asked again, “Lan ‘Er, how much land did you just say you want to buy?”
