Everyone watched with excitement while the big families fought for a jar of sauce. When the last jar was sold, it had reached 8,790 taels of silver.
As the last item was sold, the auction finally came to an end. When everyone left the auction house, the news about the sky-high price of the sauce spread throughout the entire town within a few hours.
In the back room, Zhou Boming was staring at several boxes of silver ingots with disbelief. Sitting across from him was Manager Sui.
"Boss Zhou, the total of the auction of the spicy chili crisps is 37,690 taels of silver. The auction house's fee is 3%, 1,130 taels of silver. Here is a total of 36,560 taels of silver. As you requested, we exchanged the silver for gold. Please count it."
Zhou Boming glanced at his sons, and they counted the money. After they were sure that the amount was correct, he stood up and said, "Thank you for your help, Manager Sui."
