Chapter 282 The foreigner who admits defeat
Everyone heard the sound and looked towards the door. They saw Li Guoao, the shopkeeper of Fangzhengtang, walking in quickly from the door. He arrived in front of Fang Fang in three or two steps. With an expression of admiration and respect on his face, he said,
"Brother Cheng, you are here!"
"Well! I just happened to be in the capital for business, so I came over to take a look! You are so proud, you, the waiter... are not very good at recruiting!"
Fang Fang didn't mean to blame Li proud in his tone, but his words were quite direct.
"I'm sorry, it's my problem!"
Li Guoyao didn't make any excuses, he just nodded in agreement. Seeing his store manager being so respectful to this young man, the male waiter was a little surprised.
"Shopkeeper, he..."
"This is my boss, Mr. Fang, the owner of this shop! He has the absolute right to say whether this sword will be sold or not and to whom it will be sold! So I'm sorry, sir, but you may
When you came in, you didn’t see the words clearly posted on the door of our store! So... we really don’t have anything to sell you in our store, so you’d better go elsewhere and have a look!”
After hearing what Li Aoyao said, everyone ran to the door curiously to see what was posted on the door, including the foreigner! They saw that there were actually a few lines of large words posted on the door and windows of Fangzhengtang.
"We do not sell counterfeit goods, and we do not entertain foreigners, so please understand!"
There is an English translation below the words, which is both clear and understandable.
"Haha, this is written, and this foreigner is still trying to break in!"
"It turns out that this young man is the boss, and this male clerk has hit a brick wall!"
After listening to the ridicule of the people around him, the foreigner felt that his dignity had been trampled on, so he blushed and shouted loudly at the equation,
"You said you don't sell fakes? How is that possible? Which antique shop in your country dares to say that he doesn't sell fakes? You are just a gimmick, trying to put some money on your face... Humph,
They are all lies, if you ask me, your store is full of fakes!"
It seemed that the foreigner was so angry that he began to slander people at will. Li Guo proudly saw that he was so noisy on the street of Panjiayuan and wanted to pull him away. Fang Fang stopped Li Guo proud, smiled at him and shook his head, and then
He tilted his head and looked at the foreigner, smiling helplessly.
"Okay, from what you said, it seems that you are an expert! In that case, please ask this foreign brother to help me find the fakes you mentioned, but... the ugly words are ahead, let you
It’s okay to look for fakes, but we have to be lucky, and I can’t let you look for them in my store in vain!”
A "treacherous" smile flashed across Fang Fang's face,
"Lottery? What lottery?"
The foreigner frowned and asked,
"If you find a fake in my store, you can pick any item from my store and take it. I will give it to you as a thank you for helping me find the fake. But if you can't find it...
...Then you have to give me the pocket watch you are carrying..."
In fact, Fang Fang had already noticed the pocket watch on the foreigner's body a long time ago. He had just taken it out to check the time. With just one glance, Fang Fang knew that it was definitely a good thing, and since he had given himself this pocket watch
You can't waste this opportunity, can you?
"Okay, it's a deal!"
This foreigner was also impulsive. Maybe he was angry, or maybe he didn’t know the value of that pocket watch at all, but he agreed happily!
"Okay, please do it! But... there is one more thing to note. If you damage something in my store while searching, please pay the original price!"
Fang Fang added with a smile,
"It's natural!"
This foreigner was quite reasonable! So, under the attention of a large group of people watching the fun, the foreigner walked into the Founder Hall and began his "searching journey", while Fang Fang sat aside and drank tea uncontrollably.
, Li proud stood aside, followed by the dejected male waiter!
I saw the foreigner standing in the center of the Founder Hall. He first took a rough look at the items placed in the room, and then lowered his head and thought carefully. Fang Fang guessed that he was probably analyzing the items in the room.
Among them, what is easier to fake and what is less likely to be fake? After thinking for a long time, the foreigner finally finished thinking and picked up a Ming Hongwu kiln blue and white teapot with entwined branches and chrysanthemum patterns on the table and looked at it.
"The fetal bones are delicate and firm, the carcass is light and thin, the glaze is uniform and only has two colors: green and black. This is the biggest feature of the Hongwu Kiln of the Ming Dynasty! The Hongwu Kiln of the Ming Dynasty specializes in firing imperial vessels, and plain colors are the best, which is good
, a top-notch product!”
This foreigner spoke eloquently, and it seemed that he had indeed done some research on Chinese antiques. Fang Fang watched with great interest as he flew around his shop, as if he was advertising his Founder's Hall.
Putting down the Ming Hongwu kiln ewer, the foreigner came to the low table for eating in the corner of the room. He was stunned at the exquisite white porcelain lotus-style warming bowl from the Ding kiln of the Song Dynasty on the table.
Come on, it seems... this foreigner thinks these porcelains are the easiest to fake.
"This bowl... is beautiful! Utensils shaped like lotus generally became popular with the introduction of Buddhism. The lotus symbolizes being able to emerge from the mud without being stained, and it also symbolizes integrity, so it is more popular among wealthy officials.
Application, this warm bowl is shaped like a lotus flower that is not fully in full bloom. It has gentle and graceful lines, elegant and clear shape, and has the style of Ding kiln. The white porcelain is hard in texture, white in color but opaque. The rim is not glazed and has a awn shape. It is really
Excellent product from Ding Kiln!”
The foreigner half-crouched in front of the bowl and praised in his mouth,
"This foreigner...has he forgotten what he wants to do?"
Li Aoao suppressed a smile and said to Fang Fang. Fang Fang raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. It was obvious that he was in a good mood!
Seeing that the foreigner came to the desk again, he glanced at the carved rosewood pen holder made in the Ming Dynasty and the box box box made in the Qing Dynasty. He lowered his head and looked at the Qing Dynasty pen holder placed aside.
The chicken wing wood six-piece pouf that was made in the early stage was consecrated, and then he suddenly sighed in frustration,
"Mr. Fang, are you really not selling the things here to foreigners?"
As soon as he said these words, there was a burst of laughter in the crowd. It seemed that the foreigner was not looking for fakes in other people's stores, but admiring other people's things! Fang Fang smiled slightly when he heard this, and then he was decisive,
He said to the foreigner without hesitation,
"If you don't sell it, you won't sell it...What? Mr. Yang is giving in?"
"Who said I gave up? I haven't seen it clearly yet!"
This foreigner is also stubborn enough. Fang Fang knows that he has actually given up the idea of looking for fakes in Fang Fang's shop, but he still insists on trying to save his face! He is seen in the Founder's Hall looking pretty.
After walking around twice more, I looked at two white jade bowls, a well-preserved small tricolor from the Tang Dynasty, several calligraphy and paintings by Ming and Qing writers, and several exquisite gold and silver-inlaid glazed bowls and glazed cups from the Qing dynasty.
, he completely gave up! He returned to Fang Fang dejectedly, and reluctantly handed the pocket watch in his pocket to Fang Fang’s hand.
"This is my grandfather's relic, I hope you can treat it well!"
"I will keep it with your thoughts in mind!"
Fang Fang took the pocket watch without any courtesy, turned around and put it in Li proud's hand. The foreigner reluctantly glanced at the pocket watch in Li proud's hand for a few more times, and left Fang Zhengtang with three steps.
"This foreigner is a very particular person, but...he is a foreigner, and I really don't have a good impression of them!"
Seeing the crowd of spectators dispersed, Fang Fang said in a low voice to Li Aoyao behind him,
"Well, it seems he knows quite a lot!"
Li Proud nodded, Fang Fang turned around and saw the waiter standing behind Li Proud, he raised his face slightly,
"Proud, just pay him and let him go!"
"Boss, I was wrong. It was because I was blind that I didn't recognize you as our boss. Please forgive me this time..."
The waiter hurriedly spoke softly,
"You think I'm angry because you didn't recognize me? If you think so, then there's really no need for you to stay and work here!"
Fang Fang was speechless. The waiter still hadn't figured out why he was dismissed.
"Huh? It's not because of this...then what's the reason?"
"We at Fangzhengtang don't sell anything to foreigners. Don't you know this?"
Fang Fang pointed to the words on the door and asked,
"I...I am also thinking about the interests of the store. Foreigners are stupid and easy to deceive, and it is easy to make money!"
The waiter still felt that he was quite reasonable, and Fang Fang was so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry.
"We don't keep disobedient employees in our store. I'm proud. I'll pay him his salary and let him leave immediately. Otherwise... I might not be able to control myself and beat him!"
