Chapter 493 'Shengkeng' Bronze Jue

...... "The owner, in addition to me, we have more than a dozen Xiangzi in the store, it stands to reason that Xiangzi is the most suitable, but I am old now, and I will retire after working for the owner for a few years! Xiangzi is the most familiar with our Agarwood Pavilion, as well as our Agarwood Pavilion's customers and purchase channels, and he is also loyal, and he has followed Master Li for nearly 20 years, and his appraisal level is also good, and he is the most suitable to take over my class! He must go to Chengqing-Island! The remaining thirty percent are too young and lack of training, and they can't afford a shop ......!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong nodded.

Uncle Zhong's Xiangzi, named Chen Xiang, about forty years old, is also an old employee in the store, since the eighties began to be an apprentice in the store until now, honest and loyal, Liu Dong is also optimistic about him to take Uncle Zhong's class!

"Owner, I think you should find someone from the local Qingdao who is familiar with our business! Find the locals, it is easy to get started, and it is easier to make the Qingdao branch of the Agarwood Pavilion profitable as soon as possible!" Uncle Zhong said.

"Okay, but I'm going to transfer some old employees from the store!"

"Hehe, this is as it should be, and it just happens to give a few young people in the store a chance to be promoted!" Uncle Zhong smiled.

"By the way, Uncle Zhong, I have one more thing I want to discuss with you!"

"What do you say?"

"That's the case, after Li Lao returned to the capital, the backyard of this Agarwood Pavilion is basically unoccupied, and it is a waste to put it away, I am going to clean up the study room, as the logistics reserve room in the store! Then the bedroom is for the staff who watch the door at night! Just bring them here to entertain! The second and third floors of our Agarwood Pavilion are vacant!"

looked at Uncle Zhong and nodded while listening carefully. Liu Dong continued: "In the future, we will operate pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other study utensils on the second floor! When we are on the third floor, we will ......!" After a pause, Liu Dong said seriously: "I want to find a few young painters to train me!"

Hearing this, Uncle Zhong frowned and said, "The owner wants to put up a pen order!"

The so-called pen list is that the calligraphy and painting seal carvers have recommended by famous artists to set the price standard for the sale of their works, and the agarwood pavilion valet order, which can be commissioned. At the same time, the calligraphy, painting and seal carvers who put up pen orders also bought various supplies such as paper, pens, inkstones, etc., so that the Agarwood Pavilion could have a considerable stable income.

"Hmm!" Liu Dong nodded.

"It's not impossible, but most of the famous painters have masters, so let's rush into this industry now. I'm afraid that when I first started, I won't make much money?" Uncle Zhong worried.

"It doesn't matter if we can't make money for the time being, as long as we work hard, the situation will gradually get better!" Liu Dong said confidently.

"That's right!" Uncle Zhong nodded.

There is nothing difficult in the world, but you are afraid of people with hearts, as long as you put your mind into it, you will naturally gain something. And the Agarwood Pavilion is still supported by the old foundation of the past, and it will definitely not lose money.

"It's just that where can we find young potential painters, calligraphers and seal carvers?" Uncle Zhong frowned.

"I'll figure this out!" Liu Dong said.

Seeing that Liu Dong took the initiative to accept this matter, Uncle Zhong nodded and did not say anything more.

"That's right. Uncle Zhong: In the past few days, you have been tired a little, and you have commanded Xiangzi and Sancheng to put the things on the second and third floors as usual. Then contact the supplier, whether it is pen, ink, paper, inkstone or other stationery utensils, we all want the best!"

"I know!" Uncle Zhong nodded, and Uncle Zhong still deeply agreed with Liu Dong's business philosophy of only high-quality products.

"Also, the Qingdao branch needs manpower, and the business expansion of the store also needs manpower, so you always look at recruiting a few more people these days!

"I made a note of it, host!" ......

As soon as Uncle Zhong finished speaking, he saw a twenty-eight or nine-year-old young man outside trotting in!

"Boss, Uncle Zhong, someone came outside and said he wanted to sell something!"

"Selling something?" Liu Dong raised his eyebrows.

"Isn't Shoko outside?" asked Uncle Zhong.

"But the man had to see the shopkeeper!" said the young man hurriedly.

"Owner, look?"

"Let's go, Uncle Zhong, let's go over and have a look!" Liu Dong stood up and said.

However, when Liu Dong and Uncle Zhong came to the front hall of Agarwood Pavilion together to see the visitor, their brows furrowed almost at the same time.

I saw that the person standing in front of the counter at the moment was wearing a cyan jacket that had faded a little, and the neckline was not tightened, revealing the crimson sweater that was dirty and had not been washed for I don't know how many days.

Looking further down, a pair of black cotton pants without pants covered the legs, the legs were tied with two black strips of cloth at the hem, and a pair of black cloth shoes with almost smooth heels on the feet. His hair was messy, and he looked like he hadn't washed it for at least a month, and his face was dark, but his face was very thin and his eyes were large, but there was a slick and cautious look in his eyes!

Seeing Liu Dong and Uncle Zhong coming in, after looking at Liu Dong, this person focused his eyes on Uncle Zhong's face, and then carried the old black leather bag in his hand, and walked towards Uncle Zhong with a slight hunch.

However, as this person approached, a smell of sweat on his body after not taking a bath for a long time could choke people to vomit out the overnight meal, no wonder before Liu Dong came in, there was no waiter in the Agarwood Pavilion around this person, who could stand this smell!

Although Liu Dong was also frowning at this smell, but after this person got closer, Liu Dong also smelled the earthy smell on this person's body, although it was covered, Liu Dong's six senses were much more sensitive than ordinary people!

"It seems that I met Tufuzi today!" Liu Dong said secretly in his heart.

"You've always been the shopkeeper, haven't you?"

"Yes!" Uncle Zhong also frowned at the rancid smell on this body, but the old man's psychological endurance is obviously much stronger than that of the young people in the store!

"That's good, I have a few things here, I want to see if your store accepts them!" said the man, and the man carried the black leather bag in his hand!

"You take out the things and show them to me first!" Uncle Zhong said.

"Hehe, do you think we can change the place where we talk?"

Hearing this, Uncle Zhong glanced at Liu Dong beside him, and after seeing him nod slightly, he also understood what this little boss meant!

"Okay, come with me!" After speaking, Uncle Zhong led the visitor up to the second floor. And Liu Dong also walked up after him.

"I don't know who this is?" looked at Liu Dong, who followed behind, and came to humane.

"Oh, this is the owner of our Agarwood Pavilion!"

After listening to Uncle Zhong's introduction, the person who came showed a look of surprise on his face, and said in his heart: "I didn't expect that there would be someone who opened an antique shop at such a young age!

Thinking of this, the smile on the face of the visitor is a little bigger!

"Hello, hello!"

After nodding, Liu Dong said, "Is it possible to take out things for us now?"

"Of course, of course!" said the man, who put the bag on the table of the Eight Immortals and began to pull things out.

But after he took out the contents of the bag, Liu Dong's eyes narrowed slightly. And the look on Uncle Zhong's face also became solemn.

"I don't know if your store accepts these things?" asked with a smile as he stretched out his hand and pointed to the three bronze jukes and a bronze horn on the table.

Jue and horn style is roughly the same, are the Shang and Zhou Dynasty drinking vessels, "Examination of the Gong Ji Ziren" quoted "Han Poems" cloud: "one liter said Jue, two liters said Yao, three liters said Yao, four liters said Jiao, five liters said San". Generally, the wine vessels unearthed in tombs are a combination of yao and jue, but sometimes the horn is used as a lord, although the horn and the jue are used for the same purpose, but their number is much smaller, and the horn with elaborate ornamentation and lids is even less!

At this moment, the three bronze jue placed on the table of the eight immortals are all about fifteen centimeters high, three-legged, and the height of the bronze horn is about the same as that of the three lords, but it is a pity that Liu Dong does not have a cover, but the decoration is a dragon pattern! The four bronzes are not big, and they are also red spots and green rust, but this also shows that these things belong to the pit, and they have just been stolen from the tomb!

In this way, there is no need to say more about the identity of this person!

Seeing something, the experienced Uncle Zhong immediately understood what was going on, and his face changed immediately, "The owner ......!"

Liu Dong naturally understood what he meant, and when Li Lao was in the past, he never touched the objects of the pit. Now that Liu Dong has inherited the Agarwood Pavilion, naturally he can't let the reputation of the Agarwood Pavilion be damaged!

"It's a pity!" Liu Dong sighed secretly in his heart, if it was changed to another environment, if he was the only one, he would have eaten these four rare bronzes!

And it's not the first time he's done this kind of thing!

"I'm sorry, our Agarwood Pavilion is a small profit, and we can't do your business, please!"

After listening to Liu Dong's words, Uncle Zhong showed a look of relief on his face and nodded with satisfaction.

The look of the person who came was gloomy for a moment, but soon returned to normal, "Since Your Excellency is unwilling to ask for it, then I have to find another home!"

After finishing speaking, the visitor quickly put away the four bronzes, and then hurried downstairs with his bag.

"The four things of the owner just now are all stolen goods, and our Agarwood Pavilion has never touched this!"

"I know Uncle Zhong, you're right, the reputation of the Agarwood Pavilion is more important than anything!" Liu Dong nodded.

……

After instructing Uncle Zhong to do what the two had just discussed, Liu Dong walked out of the Agarwood Pavilion, and after thinking for a while, he walked over quickly after seeing a direction.
