C282 A Foreigner Admitting Defeat
"Brother Cheng, you're here!"
"Hm!" He happened to be in Beijing for some business, so he came to take a look! Pride, you little b * stard … You didn't do much! "
Faang Cheng did not have any intention to blame Lee Zihao, but he did say it rather straightforwardly.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault!"
Lee Zihao did not have any excuses, he only nodded his head and replied. Seeing his own manager being so respectful to this young man, the man was surprised.
"Manager, he..."
"This is my superior, the owner of this shop, Mr Faang! Whether or not this sword was sold to anyone, he had absolute authority over them! So I'm sorry, sir, but you may not have seen the words pasted on the door of our shop when you came in! Therefore … We really don't have anything we can sell to you in our shop, so you should go to another shop to take a look! "
Hearing Lee Zihao's words, everyone curiously ran to the door to see what exactly was pasted on it, including the foreigner! He only saw that there were actually some lines of words on the Fangzheng Hall door and window.
"Please forgive me for not using a fake one and not entertaining a foreign guest!"
And there was a translation of it in English, which was very clear and clear at the same time.
"Haha, it's written here. This foreigner is still trying to get in!"
"So this young man is the boss. This male shop assistant has really hit a wall!"
Hearing the teasing from the crowd, the foreigner felt that his dignity had been trampled upon, thus his face flushed red, and roared at Faang Cheng.
"You said that you don't sell fakes? How is this possible? Who in your country's antique shop dares to say that he doesn't sell fakes? This is nothing more than a stunt, you want to put gold on your face … "Hmph, they are all lies. If you ask me, your shop is full of fakes!"
Lee Zihao saw that he was so noisy on the streets of the Pan Family, he wanted to pull over. Faang Cheng stopped him and smiled as he shook his head, then tilted his head to look at the foreigner, smiling helplessly.
"Alright, from what you said, you seem to be an expert!" Since that's the case, then I'll have to trouble this foreign brother to give me the fake you said, but … "I'll say it in the first place, I can let you find a fake, but we have to be lucky. I can't let you find me in my store for nothing!"
A trace of a "treacherous" smile flashed across Faang Cheng's face.
"The wager? What's the wager? "
the foreigner asked with a frown.
"If you find a fake one in my shop, then pick out one of my things. I gave it to you as a thank you gift for finding the fake one, but if you can't find it …" "Then you have to give me that pocket watch you're wearing …"
In fact, Faang Cheng had long since noticed the pocket watch on this foreigner's body. He had just taken it out to check the time, and with just that glance, Faang Cheng knew that it was definitely a good thing. Since he had given him the chance to obtain the pocket watch, he wouldn't let him waste it either!
"Alright, it's a deal!"
This foreigner was also impulsive. Perhaps he was angered, or perhaps he did not know the value of the pocket watch, but he agreed so readily!
"Very well, please! However … "One more thing to note, if you break my shop's item during your search, then please compensate me according to the original price!"
Faang Cheng smiled and added,
"Of course!"
This foreigner was quite reasonable! Thus, under the watch of a large crowd of spectators, the foreigner walked into the Fangzheng Hall, and began his "journey of search", while Faang Cheng sat at the side, drinking his tea. Lee Zihao stood at the side, following behind him a dejected man in the hall!
Faang Cheng could guess that he was analyzing the items in this room. What was easier to fake, and what was less likely to be fake? After pondering for a while, the foreigner finally finished his consideration, and picked up a teapot made from blue and white flowers from the Ming Hongwu Kiln, and started to look through it.
"Fetal bones are delicate and sturdy, the body is light and thin, the enamel is even and there are only two colors, green and black. This is the biggest characteristic of Ming Hongwu kiln! Ming Hongwu kiln is specially used to make royal utensils, and it is also made with plain color as the best, not bad, top grade goods! "
Seems like he has done some research into Chinese antiques. Faang Cheng watched the entire scene of his shop flying with interest, as if he was advertising his own Fangzheng Hall.
Putting down the pot in his hand, the foreigner went to the corner of the room where the small table was set for eating. He stared blankly at the exquisite porcelain bowl of the Song Dynasty's fixed kiln, it seemed... The foreigner felt that these porcelain pieces were the easiest to fake.
"This bowl... Beautiful! The vessels shaped like lotuses are generally popular with the buddhist era, lotuses are meant to be clean, they are meant to be incorruptible, so they are widely used by large families. This warm bowl looks like an underbloomed lotus.It has gentle lines, elegant and beautiful design, and has a fixed style, white porcelain is hard, white is opaque, and its mouth is unglazed, it's really the finest part of the fixed kiln! "
The foreigner half-squatted in front of the bowl and praised,
"This foreigner …" Have you forgotten what you want to do? "
Lee Zihao said to Faang Cheng while holding back his laughter. The corner of Faang Cheng's mouth raised into a smile, and it could be seen that he was in a very good mood!
Seeing that the foreigner was once again in front of the desk, he took a glance at the carton of rosewood carvings made in the Ming Dynasty and the box of yellow poplar three-horned transvestite made in the Qing Dynasty. Then he lowered his head and looked at the block of chicken wings made in the early Qing Dynasty.
"Mr Faang, what you have here... "Are you sure you don't want to sell it to foreigners?"
The moment he said this, the crowd burst into laughter. It seemed that the foreigner was not looking for a fake, but was appreciating something from someone else! When Faang Cheng heard this, he smiled slightly. Then, without hesitating at all, he said to the foreigner:
"If I'm not selling, I'm not selling … What? Is Mr. Yang admitting defeat? "
"Who said I admitted defeat? I haven't seen it clearly yet! "
This foreigner was stubborn enough. Faang Cheng knew that in his heart, he had already given up on searching for fakes in Faang Cheng's store. After looking at two white jade bowls, one well-preserved Tang Dynasty Small Tri-color, a few clear and bright literary works, and a few exquisite Golden, Silver, and Glazed Glass bowls and cups of the Qing Dynasty, he completely admitted defeat! He dejectedly returned in front of Faang Cheng, and unwillingly handed over the pocket watch in his pocket to Faang Cheng.
"This is my grandfather's inheritance. I hope you can treat it well!"
"I will protect it with your yearning!"
Faang Cheng unceremoniously received the pocket watch, and turned to put it in Lee Zihao's hand. The foreigner unwillingly glanced at the pocket watch in Lee Zihao's hand, and turned around and left the Fangzheng Hall three times a step.
"This foreigner is a very particular person, it's just that … He's a foreigner, and I don't have a good impression of them! "
Seeing the crowd dispersing, Faang Cheng said to Lee Zihao who was behind him in a low voice.
"Hmm, he seems to know quite a lot!"
Lee Zihao nodded, then turned to see the man standing behind Lee Zihao. He raised his head slightly.
"Proud, let him leave after settling the bill!"
"Boss, I was wrong, I was blind and could not recognize you as our boss. Please forgive me this time …"
The man hurriedly said something soft.
"Do you think I'm angry because you didn't recognize me? If that's what you think, then you really don't have to stay here and work! "
Faang Cheng was a little speechless, up till now, this man still had not figured out that it was because he was separated from his position.
"Ah?" Not because of this... "Why is that?"
"Our Fangzheng Hall does not sell to foreigners, don't you know that?"
Faang Cheng pointed to the words on the door and asked:
"I …" "I am only thinking for the benefit of the store. Foreigners are stupid and easy to trick. It's very easy to earn money!"
The otaku guy still felt that he made sense, and was angered to the point that Faang Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Our shop doesn't allow any unobedient employees to stay. We are proud to pay him off and tell him to leave immediately. Otherwise … I might not be able to control myself and hit him! "
Faang Cheng helplessly got up and walked into the inner hall, and did not even want to look at this person again!
