Of course, Sun Chunjing did all this without the knowledge of the store master.
He knew that if his behavior was known by the masters and they accused him of "stealing from his master, disrespecting his master, and advancing at the spur of the moment", he would be beaten and punished, and he might be fired and kicked out of the store.
If that happens, it will be equivalent to killing his grandfather. The old man has been strong all his life, but now that he has been humiliated, why should he be angry to death?
Sun Chunjing, who was equally strong, suppressed her enthusiasm for study. Surprisingly, after eight years as an apprentice, she passed all the assessments that took ten years to complete, and was hired as a counter clerk in advance.
Such an achievement was really a surprise to my grandfather and father. The whole family was very happy and felt that someone from the Sun family would definitely open a shop and become a boss in the future.
Now, after he glanced at the inkstone and bronze mirror on the table, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart, but he didn't make a sound.
After venting his depression and anger for a while, Liu Zhang wiped the tears on his face with his sleeves, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and blew his nose.
He seems to be a careless person, but in fact he is a person who can go out with a handkerchief.
Judging from his clothes, he looked like a typical coolie, not like a traveling dealer in an antique shop.
Real appearance and actual career are completely unrelated.
Sun Chunjing looked at his clothes and actions and felt that Liu Zhang was really a complex of contradictions.
After he knew Liu Zhang's identity from the beginning, he had a new understanding of Liu Zhang.
Having been in business for so many years, Sun Chunjing knows very well that this person cannot be judged by his appearance, and anything is possible.
Don't underestimate these traveling dealers in antique shops. They really can't do it if they don't have a lot of twists and turns in their hearts, don't have a lot of money in their pockets, don't have any experience in their heads, don't have any level of eyesight, and don't have a lot of talk.
In the world of antique collecting, most of the "leaking out" things are done by them, and most of them are people who have plenty of food and clothing.
Isn't there anyone among them who makes a mistake and suffers a big loss?
The answer is yes, no.
This situation is somewhat related to the nature of their industry.
A traveling dealer in an antique shop is different from a dealer in a junk shop, and even more different from a dealer in a pawn shop.
No matter what kind of good things they see in the seller's hands, the dealers in the rag business will buy them based on the value of tattered and defective goods. They are looking for the shortcomings of your lack of money.
If you want to get the same or similar purchase price from them, that is simply a fantasy.
Or to put it more bluntly, your item worth a hundred yuan is worth at most five yuan to a dealer in these junk shops, and if you want to sell it or not, he will never give you a counter-offer.
Chance.
The traders in the shabby shops do what they are willing to pay, and the money they eat is money they don't care about.
The businessman who opens a pawn shop is somewhat similar to the dealer in the junk shop, except that he gives the person who wants to pawn a choice, whether to pawn dead or alive.
The choice between the two and the treatment you get are different, depending on the rules of the pawn shop.
In a word, making money in a pawn shop is much gentler than that of a dealer in a junk shop.
Compared with the first two, traveling dealers in antique shops are more conscientious.
When they face sellers selling their own things, the purchase price they give is relatively objective, taking into account both their own profits and the seller's feelings.
At the same time, the rules in the antique shop are that no forced buying or selling is allowed. You can use your professional knowledge to make money, but you cannot use your professional skills to cheat money.
Travel dealers in antique stores can abide by the rules and "pick up leaks", but they cannot use tricks to "fake" them.
Once a travel dealer cheats, he will be expelled from the antique shop and become someone who is not recognized by his peers.
Therefore, Sun Chunjing looked at Liu Zhang with some difficulty. Although he did not speak, it was very meaningful.
Liu Zhang, who had regained his composure, looked at Sun Chunjing and said sincerely: "Brother Sun, thank you for proving to me that I didn't make a mistake about this batch of calligraphy and paintings.
I have persisted in my opinion to this day, and that is the right thing to do. Thank you, and please give me my little brother’s respect.”
After saying that, Liu Zhang stood up, knelt down on one knee and bowed to Sun Chunjing.
Sun Chunjing hurriedly stood up, stretched out her hand to help Liu Zhang up, and said, "Brother, I'm just telling the truth, why do you need so many courtesy?"
Liu Zhang insisted on bowing to Sun Chunjing three times before he stood up and said: "Brother Sun, your attribution today can be said to have saved me. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are my reborn parent.
You made me stand up again in Zhangqiu's antique shop. You don't know that just because of these calligraphy and paintings, I was stepped on by my peers. Before I came to your place again, it was really difficult for me.
"
After asking Liu Zhang to sit down again, Sun Chunjing opened the lid of the teapot, looked inside, and nodded.
Then, he picked up a teacup and put it on the tea tray, poured half a cup of tea into the teacup, turned the cup around with his hand, and poured the tea in the teacup into the tea tray.
After pouring another full cup of tea into the teacup, Sun Chunjing placed the teacup in front of Liu Zhang and said: "Brother, drink tea."
Liu Zhang picked up the tea cup, took a small sip, tasted it, and said, "Brother Sun, this tea is really good. I am the first to drink such good jasmine tea!"
After saying that, I slowly drank the tea and seemed to enjoy it very much.
"If you drink this tea well, I will wrap a bag for you when you leave."
"Really, that's great. When I get home, I can make a pot for my old man, and he will definitely agree."
"If your father likes it after drinking it, you can take this tea from me from now on."
"Why is this good? Brother Sun, how much does this tea cost? Just tell me and I'll just spend the money to buy it."
"If you want to spend money to buy it, you have to wait until your father likes it. Now, let's talk about the situation of the inkstone and the bronze mirror."
Sun Chunjing said straight to the point.
As soon as he said this, Liu Zhang was stunned and didn't know how to speak.
After thinking for a while, Liu Zhangcai said: "Brother Sun, please forgive me for my mistake. Before I came here, I only heard about your deeds, but I didn't know whether it was true or false.
So, I just took an inkstone for my own use and a bronze mirror for my wife's use from home, just to test you.
Let's see how much you weigh, and how capable you are of selling ten pieces of 'Jun Porcelain' at once?"
"Then why didn't you test me with them in the end?"
