Chapter 240: There are so many Xiao families
The person who spoke was a little fat man, with a round face and a chubby figure, and he felt that people were wet all the way over.
"Sister, can you give me this painting? I can compensate you twice the money." ”
Although the little fat man's behavior is very annoying, his attitude is very good, and he is young, Chen Yixin feels that he can't get angry if he wants to.
"Sister, this painting was painted by a friend of my uncle, I looked for a long time to find this one, but I didn't dare to determine whether it was before, I went back to ask my uncle for advice before I rushed over. ”
The little fat man was still a little aggrieved after speaking, and his big eyes, which were different from ordinary little fat men, kept throwing condemning glances at the staff next to him.
The staff next to him also knew that he might have made a mistake in judgment, but now he couldn't persuade Chen Yixin to give up, once he spoke, even if it wasn't his fault, it would become his fault.
"What's going on?" a gentle woman's voice came from the side.
"Director, that's right. The staff recounted what had happened.
He also admitted that he had made a mistake in judgment, and only thought that the little fat man said that he would help keep it was a casual remark. Because their gallery is relatively high-end, and the paintings are not sold cheaply, many customers who want to save face obviously won't buy them, but they often leave such a sentence. After waiting for two days for the little fat man to come, he thought that this was also that kind of customer.
"So after Miss Chen took a fancy to this painting, I didn't tell her that there were other clients who also took a fancy to it, and I forgot to inform Mr. Xiao. ”
If you are caught, you will honestly admit your mistakes, and you will only lose your job if you use strong words. The work in the gallery is easy, the salary is not low, and he naturally knows how to make trade-offs.
The middle-aged female supervisor didn't say anything, and asked the young staff to go and get a long box.
"It's luck. When we received the works, the seller packed a batch for sale, and these two calligraphy and paintings were among them. ”
She said, unfolding the long scroll.
Unlike the vertical scroll calligraphy, this one is purely a calligraphy work, but at a glance you can see that the calligraphy and painting work are made by the same person as this calligraphy.
"The little brother just wants to buy this author's calligraphy and painting for the elders, so what do you think of this one?"
The little fat man wanted to cry, but he had to hold back. Who let him not have the strength to identify, so he can only go back to ask for foreign aid and raise money, but the time will not be for me.
This character is actually quite good, the pen walks the dragon and snake, and has its unique artistic conception.
Chen Yixin's fingers moved, she actually preferred this simple calligraphy, but now if she said that she was willing to replace it, it didn't seem to be suitable.
"But, but I told my brother that it was calligraphy and painting. The little fat man's voice was a little weak, but his upbringing did not allow him to rob.
"Forget it, I didn't think it through, I don't blame your staff, and it has nothing to do with my sister, maybe, I just didn't have a chance. ”
The little fat man smiled reluctantly: "I'm really sorry to delay you." ”
He even bowed slightly before turning to leave.
"Little brother, please wait a minute. Wei Zhong suddenly called him, and then turned his head to look at Chen Yixin, "Xinxin, your original plan was to buy a pair of calligraphy works, why don't you change it?"
The middle-aged female supervisor was a little pity that the buyer had lost, but now her eyes lit up slightly when she heard it.
"In this way, this matter was also a bit of a mistake on our side, and we didn't confirm the reservation time with the guests. If Miss Chen, you are willing to replace it, I will transfer this calligraphy work to you at a 20% discount, is this okay?"
Although this author is not well-known and the value of his work is not high, in terms of opening, this painting will cost eight thousand, and the money saved by a 20% discount can be eaten a few good meals.
Chen Yixin was not the kind of unreasonable person, and Wei Zhong also helped to intercede, so she agreed very happily.
The little fat man didn't expect that there would be such a situation of peaks and loops, and a little chubby face smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.
"Thank you sister, thank you brother, thank you manager aunt. ”
The female supervisor's expression froze for a moment, and the joy in her eyes faded by two points.
She is only in her thirties, and although she is dressed a little more mature and old-fashioned, a boy who is almost twenty years old opens his mouth to call her aunt, why does he want to dump him so much?
Completed the deal with the little fat man, and after going out, the little fat man insisted on pulling the two of them to a big meal.
"Brother and sister, you have done me a great favor today, let me express my gratitude, okay?" The little fat man's kung fu is also very powerful, the key is that he has a simple face, and he feels embarrassed to say something serious to him.
Wei Zhong shook his head and smiled, and pulled Chen Yixin to follow the little fat man to a private restaurant two streets away.
"Don't look at the outside of this restaurant, in fact, many people can't find the way to come. The little fat man took them into the alley with a familiar way, and only found this old house with a relatively old door wall, "You will know what luxury is when you go in." It's not the luxury of those high-end clubs that are piled up with money, it's the real luxury that comes from the spiritual level. ”
When he said this, it really aroused Chen Yixin's curiosity.
This piece is protected, with a history of hundreds of years. But looking at the form, it is just an ordinary commoner, at most it is the residence of ordinary rich and noble families, and it cannot be compared with those princes' mansions and princesses' mansions.
"There are four or five courtyard houses in this old house, all of which are the owner's own property. He is not short of money, and cooking food is also motivated by interest. It's really the kind of master who can eat it if you like it, and if you don't like it, you can invite it back. ”
The little fat man lowered his voice and led them along the verandah by the wall into a small courtyard with a plaque with the word "Huiyue".
The waiters inside were all wearing clothes from the late Qing Dynasty, and they smiled before they saw the little fat man.
"Brother Xiao is here again, this time the luck is not good, the boss is not at home, he is the boss's big apprentice, and our Chef Su is the main one. ”
"Boss Su's craftsmanship is also very good. The little fat man made the same mistake again, he hadn't contacted him before he came, he scratched his head, and smiled at Chen Yixin and them a little embarrassed.
"It is already an honor for us to be able to taste Chef Su's craftsmanship. It can only be said that we don't have the luck to taste the boss's craftsmanship, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Xiao. We have to thank you for bringing us here, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to find our way in, as you said. ”
Of course, Chen Yixin can't think that the little fat man deliberately shook them, but he can only say that this kid is really a little rough in doing things, and it is no wonder that he will make a move to cut off his beard.
After sitting down, the waitress brought them tea and refreshments, and told them that they had come today without an appointment, so the food would have to be slower.
"It's okay, we understand, just listen to the chef's arrangement. ”
The little fat man breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chen Yixin gratefully again.
"Speaking of which, the first time I came to City B to get in touch with private food, I was also brought by a friend surnamed Xiao. Maybe you're still a family. ”
"What's his name?"
"Xiao Yiyan, do you know each other?"
The little fat man's hand trembled, and his eyes looking at Chen Yixin were full of shock, curiosity, and excitement. He let out a low "snort", and when he looked up again, he was a little flattering.
