Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

Two others wiped their mouths with handkerchiefs, and the four of them hurried downstairs to the ticket hall outside the auction house to buy tickets. The hall was more than 200 square meters and had five windows. When they walked in the door, they saw a sea of ​​people inside and a very long line. The four of them were not to be outdone, and each of them stood behind a line.

There were a lot of people buying tickets in the hall, because there were a certain number of seats and private rooms in the auction house, and it wasn't just the number of people who came that determined the number of tickets sold.

There are only 100 ordinary tickets at five taels of silver, and one ticket is for one person.

There are only 20 lower-class private rooms for 50 liang, and each room can accommodate 4 people, for a total of 5 people.

50 taels, there are only 30 medium-sized private rooms, and each ticket can bring 5 people.

There are only 100 first-class private rooms that cost 20 taels, and each ticket allows 7 people.

The best private rooms cost 300 taels, and there are only 8 of them. Each ticket can bring 8 people.

There are only two VIP rooms, each costs 500 taels, and can accommodate up to 10 people.

The other two rooms, one for his own use and the other for the emperor or the nobles in the palace.

Many ordinary people in the capital spent five taels of silver to buy an ordinary ticket, but there were many dignitaries and wealthy people in the capital, so the 110 private rooms were all sold out before p.m.

All the tickets were sold out and the ticket window was closed. There was a sign hanging outside saying that all tickets and private rooms were sold out. Many people who were slow to react came to buy tickets but found that they were no longer available. Those who did not buy tickets were very upset and wondered why they did not come earlier.

People who bought ordinary tickets saw business opportunities and began to raise the price. At first, some people only sold ordinary tickets for 10 taels of silver, which was priced at 20 taels of silver. Later, the highest price was taels of silver, which was the price of a low-end private room.

Those ticket scalpers who made 15 taels of silver by reselling the tickets were so happy that they were grinning. It was such a good thing that they could not find anywhere else. It made them a small fortune.

The next day was the opening day. The auction house used to be a large courtyard with five entrances, located at the back of Nanshi Street. It was usually quite quiet here. After it was changed into an auction house, the surrounding merchants saw the business opportunities and knew that business would definitely pick up in the future. Those who had shops here, who originally thought the location was not good, no longer wanted to sell them.

Fortunately, in the early stage of renovation, someone sold a shop and a house nearby, and the people working under her followed Bi Yue's instructions and bought them all without hesitation. She knew that after her auction house became popular, the business of the surrounding shops would also become more and more prosperous.

The auction building that combines the ancient and the modern was built at great expense by Biyuehua. The walls are constructed with cement and steel bars, white tiles are affixed to the walls, and large pieces of glass decorate the entire door and windows.

The overall exterior design is a combination of ancient and modern styles. It is luxurious, majestic, exquisite and beautiful. The interior of the auction house is spacious, bright and comfortable, an unparalleled large auction center.

There were six large gold-plated characters written on the top of the building: "Dorito Auction House".

Biyue, Luochen, and Chenchen brought 200 soldiers to maintain order. Red flags were hung outside the auction house, and ribbons were floating under the hydrogen balloons with the words "Dolido Welcomes You" printed on them.

Dozens of hydrogen balloons floated in the sky above Dolido, with red silk hanging on the balloons. This scene attracted all the common people in the capital, and this place became the most lively place in the capital.

The surrounding shops were doing very well. There was a huge red silk banner on the gate. People from Beijing who didn't buy tickets also flocked in to join in the fun. There were special people next to the gate to help people who came to watch.

Each person was given a small fan with Dolito's auction products printed on it, and each child was given a balloon. This made the fun even more interesting to the countless people who came to join in the fun. In addition, the number of new candidates going to Beijing to take the imperial examinations during the Mid-Autumn Festival in September increased, making the entire Kyoto even more bustling.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the sound of firecrackers rang out. More people around put down their work and ran over to watch the fun. Outside the door of the auction house, cheerful music sounded, "To Get Rich, You Must Take the Right Way."

The onlookers had never heard such beautiful singing before, and they couldn't help humming along with the music. After one song was over, they thought of another style of song.

"I Believe", these songs were searched on Kugou in the previous life. Bi Yue didn't care whether the music was suitable for the auction or not. As long as the music sounded and livened up the whole atmosphere, it was enough.

After the sound of firecrackers stopped, the ticket buyers began to check their tickets and entered the venue one after another. Those who paid 5 taels of silver for their tickets stood at the bottom. There were 50 seats in the front row, while the low-class private rooms were only 8 square meters and were led in by special waiters.

Each staff member has a number tag on his or her clothes. There is tea in the private room. If the guests want fruit or other food, they can make their own order according to the list on the table. The waiter will bring it in after a while and the money will be settled on the spot.

The medium-sized private room is also served by a male waiter. If someone needs to order something, the waiter will write it down and bring the item to the room after a while. There is a door number outside each room.

The superior private rooms are served by two waiters, one male and one female. They stand at the door of the room and will come forward and ask politely if the guests need anything.

The best private room costs three hundred taels of silver each and is equipped with two waiters to serve the guests in the room.

There were originally four VIP rooms, but only two were sold, and they were also served by two male and female waiters.

The male and female waiters here were all selected from the orphanages in various cities. Some were bought from the auction houses. They were all asked to sign a contract with the auction house. Each of them was handsome, smart and capable. They worked here and received two taels of silver per month, with food and accommodation provided.

Those who were selected were very happy. The main job was not tiring. The store was open twice a month, and the rest of the time was used for them to learn cultural knowledge. Most people were illiterate. The main job during the opening period was to serve tea to the guests and deliver the items the guests ordered in a timely manner.

After the auction, clean the venue. Since the auction is only held twice a month, this is the temporary arrangement and can be changed later.

After all the ticket holders entered, the outer door was closed. At this time, the lights on the middle stage came on. Chen Xia was wearing a decent and gorgeous outfit today. His handsome features and tall stature attracted the audience. He walked elegantly from the backstage to the big round stage, picked up the microphone on the stand, and spoke to the customers around him,

"Welcome all guests to our Dolido Auction House. There are many items on auction today, and everyone who comes will get items that satisfy them."

After saying this, Chen Qiu came to the round table with a tray in his hand. On the round table was a table that was one meter long, 50 centimeters wide, and 120 centimeters high. He put the things on the table.
