A lucky wife born again from a farm family

When Boss An saw the two wealthy businessmen from Jinling coming, he felt very uneasy. As soon as the hammer fell, he immediately shouted: "Five hundred and fifty taels."

Dou Shaodong's family tutted: "Jianghuai people are stingy. I'll bid you eight hundred taels."

Boss An was confused. He looked at the young boy and said, "Do you know how to do business? How can you offer so much for one price?"

Dou Shaodong's family is very wealthy. After giving Boss An a "you poor guy" look, he said arrogantly: "It's just eight hundred taels of silver, not eight hundred taels of gold. What's the fuss? The ham is worth this price." Three Cooked fresh every year, such a treasure will definitely become a New Year gift that the powerful people in the capital compete for."

This is what Dou Shaodong's family is looking for. The powerful people in the capital are rich and have good face. The more expensive the New Year's gift is, the more face they will have.

Boss An was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He was a veteran in the business field and stopped following the price for fear of raising the price too high.

But Dong Dongjia said: "Eight hundred and fifty taels."

When Mr. Qi saw this, in order to flatter the Gu family, he also shouted: "Nine hundred taels."

If you want to make a bid, hurry up. He doesn't want to spend nine hundred taels on a pig leg. He just responds to the situation and shouts casually to show his goodwill to the Gu family.

Boss An was so angry that he vomited blood, but still insisted not to follow.

Ouyang Hu made a bid at this time: "One thousand taels. The ham is made of colored glaze in the meat and is the pearl of the sea. It is worth a thousand taels."

In a word, it completely raised the price of ham. Since then, many people have called ham glazed meat, and this is also the beginning.

Dou Shaodong's family's eyes lit up, "Mother, glass meat, Mr. Ouyang, your words are worth more than ham," and Dou Shaodong's family became even more determined to transport the ham to the capital for auction.

But he did not follow the price and left the first ham auctioned to Mr. Ouyang, which would build momentum for his future ham auctions.

He was the first to stand up and said: "Mr. Ouyang is famous far and wide and is our elder. You should bid for the first ham. The younger generation will not follow the price."

He has said so, Dong Dong's family will naturally not follow him again.

Gu Jinan asked three times if there was anyone else bidding? After seeing no one bid, he hammered the iron block and shouted loudly: "Mr. Ouyang bought Yanfu ham for one thousand taels!"

He brought the high-quality oil paper and wrapped the ham for Mr. Ouyang himself. Although it was wrapped in oil paper, the cloth strip tied with the ham was of great origin.

Mr. Ouyang was well-informed and saw at a glance that the strip of cloth was actually a long piece of embroidery with a blessing scripture embroidered on it, and there were four words embroidered on the end of the strip of cloth: Mr. Fu'an.

"This is Mr. Fu'an's embroidery." Ouyang Hu was very surprised: "This ham is worth buying, and I can even get a small embroidery by Mr. Fu'an."

Boss An and the others were shocked when they heard this: "Are they really Mr. Fu'an's embroidery?"

They knew that Mr. Fu'an was an embroiderer who suddenly appeared three years ago. He was famous for his vivid characters and rural scenes. He could also embroider some scriptures and was very popular with the old lady of the aristocratic family. Boss An's wife also bought a piece of embroidery by Mr. Fu'an at a high price. She keeps it as a treasure every day and will not be touched easily. She will only show it off during banquets.

"It can't be fake, right?" Boss Tian asked in a vague voice, but he didn't believe it. The dignified embroidery master from Fu'an would embroider strips of cloth for Yanfulou to tie hams. Who would believe it if I told him about it?

However, Ouyang Hu said: "It is genuine. I have two pieces of embroidery by Mr. Fu'an at home. The embroidery method of the font size is exactly the same as this one, no difference at all."

Mr. Fu'an's font size is composed of a unique auspicious cloud pattern. These auspicious cloud patterns are very complicated, but there are traces to follow. As long as you look carefully, you will know whether they are true or false.

Ouyang Hu smiled and said, "I've made a profit. It's up to you whether you want to buy it or not."

Everyone in Dou Shaodong's family was very excited. When the second ham started to be sold, they paid a high price of 1,500 taels. The third ham was bought by Dong Dong's family.

Boss An had been holding back his bid, but he saw the price getting higher and higher, and Gu Jinan also said: "In order to ensure the price of ham, our Yanfu Building will only auction ten hams this year."

One sentence almost drove Boss An to scold him. In desperation, he could only buy three pieces of ham at a high price of 1,800 taels each. A total of more than 5,000 taels of silver was spent. He almost fell to the ground with anger.

But after he recovered, Boss An was already thinking about how to double the sales of these three hams.

Hu Dongjia was stunned. He originally wanted to buy a few hams to be auctioned at Futai House, but when he saw how expensive the hams were, he was so scared that he didn't even dare to bid. He felt like he would lose everything if he made a bid.

Scared. Scared.

Hu Dongjia wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and his body was shaking.

The ten hams were auctioned off in less than two-quarters of an hour. Dou Shaodong's family was wealthy and they bought four hams, Boss An's three, Dong Dong's two, and Ouyang Hu's one.

Dong Dong's family pointed at Dou Shaodong's family and said, "You are so ruthless. You ate four out of ten hams, and you didn't leave any for my Dong family."

Dou Shaodong's family smiled and said: "Uncle Dong, it's enough for you to take two hams. As soon as these two hams are placed in your Yifeng Garden, the literati and wealthy people from Jiangnan will immediately gather and pay high prices to take your hams. Although you only bought two hams, you can at least fetch the price of ten hams by then, and you can also make your Dong family famous, and you will make enough money."

Dou Shaodong's family was very smart. He told Dong Dong's family on the carriage that after he took the ham, he would not sell it in Jiangnan, but would transport it to the capital and steal the money of the nobles in the capital, so that Dong Dong's family would not raise the price with him.

Dong Dong’s family agreed, and today it was a win-win situation for both of them.

Magistrate Zheng, Prime Minister Fang County, and County Lieutenant Jiang were shocked to see that the pork leg was really sold for a thousand taels of silver!

Fang Xiancheng wiped his hands with cold sweat. This pork leg was too valuable.

After being surprised, Magistrate Zheng came to his senses and invited Ouyang Hu: "Mr. Ouyang, today is the winter solstice. It is fate that we met. Please be kind enough to spend the winter at your house."

Brother Cheng was very good at doing things and said to Ouyang Hu: "Grandpa Ouyang, you can go to Brother Qing's house to celebrate the winter solstice. As long as you go, I will ask the second sister to give you a jar of Yanfu wine, the kind you just drank. , a wine specially paired with ham.”

Ouyang Hu really likes to drink the prepared wine, but: "Yanfu wine, this name is too casual."

Yanfu Tower, Yanfu Ham, Yanfu Wine, these are names chosen to save trouble. Cheng Geer and his second sister are really too lazy to do it.

Cheng Geer smiled and said: "My second sister said that the word Yanfu is easy to remember and brings good luck. Besides, Yanfu wine and Yanfu ham, others will know that they are from our Yanfu building."

But his second sister finally said that she was just lazy and didn't want to waste her brain thinking of a name.

Ouyang Hu laughed when he heard this: "In that case, I will go to Zheng Mansion to make some noise."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Zheng was overjoyed and very grateful to Brother Cheng. Erlang of the Gu family was indeed a good man for helping the Zheng family like this.

Zheng Ying admired Mr. Ouyang Hu very much and said after hearing this: "Uncle, my nephew, Dong Dong's family and Dou Shaodong's family also want to go to the house to make trouble."

Dong Dong's family has two sons, and they really want to interact with a great scholar like Ouyang Hu, which is a dream.
