Without delay, Chen Xuan rushed over to grab an Auction Paddle and squeezed to the front of the small platform with Jin Xiong. This was the best spot to observe the cattle up close.
As time passed, more and more people arrived, and the noise gradually grew louder. Chen Xuan glanced around and saw a dense crowd of at least four people deep. Aside from a few who were just there for the spectacle, most held an Auction Paddle in their hands.
So many people? Chen Xuan frowned. It seemed that this so-called auction had a strong appeal; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people flocking from all directions.
Just then, a commotion erupted from behind. A middle-aged man, surrounded by several bosses, walked confidently toward them. It was the expert Lu Fei!
He’s here? That means all the good cattle will be picked by him today! Let’s see if we can find a bargain!
Nearby buyers recognized the middle-aged man and gasped in surprise. Lu Fei? Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, recalling this person's background. He was a renowned beef cattle breeding expert in Jianghe City, and many of the big bosses in Jianghe City's livestock industry would invite Lu Fei to help them make their purchases.
There were hardly any cases where he didn’t get what he wanted.
Seeing Lu Fei arrive and noticing the wealthy bosses adorned with gold chains around him, Chen Xuan felt an inexplicable surge of anxiety.
“Don’t worry, just watch me perform later,” Jin Xiong seemed to sense Chen Xuan's tension and smiled reassuringly.
Right! I still have Jin Xiong with me! No matter how impressive an expert is, can he outshine Niu Yao? Isn’t that just showing off in front of an expert?
With that thought, Chen Xuan felt a surge of confidence.
A large truck suddenly drove into Xiangyi Market, and dozens of cattle were herded out.
With eager eyes, the crowd awaited the auction to begin. The first cow was brought up for display. It walked around a small platform, allowing the buyers below to observe it closely.
The crowd murmured among themselves, quickly exchanging thoughts. Buying cattle requires a keen eye. As the saying goes: "Look at the skin above, check the limbs and hooves below, examine the chest in front, and assess the rear behind." Only those who can accurately analyze a cow's physique will avoid purchasing poor specimens and minimize their losses.
This particular cow had smooth, elastic skin and appeared lively; its appearance was quite good. Lu Fei studied it for a moment before nodding in satisfaction and whispering a few words to a nearby vendor.
"Quickly!" The vendor raised his bidding paddle first: "Eighteen hundred!"
The cow on the platform weighed around a thousand pounds, with market prices ranging from ten thousand to twelve thousand. However, since it was an auction, the price would naturally be lower than the market value.
"I bid six thousand!"
"Six thousand two!"
The attractive cow sparked a bidding frenzy among the crowd as everyone shouted out their offers. Chen Xuan was also pleased with this cow and was preparing to raise his paddle when Jin Xiong discreetly pulled him back.
"This cow is frightened; it won't survive the night," Jin Xiong said in a low voice.
Is that so? Chen Xuan trusted Jin Xiong's judgment. Realizing that this cow would likely perish by nightfall, he immediately abandoned his intention to bid.
In the end, the cow was sold for eight thousand to the vendor next to Lu Fei. The seller marked a number on the cow's body to indicate its ownership.
Seeing the bull being pulled down, Lu Fei smiled faintly and said proudly, "This is a purebred beef cattle. With proper care, selling it for ten thousand is no problem at all."
"Thank you, Lu Expert," came the voice of Boss Liu, who was grinning from ear to ear.
Lu Fei smiled lightly again, wearing an expression that seemed to say it was only natural for him to be thanked.
