Chapter 194: A Japanese Tourist Who's Crazy Sweeping
Most Japanese tourists linger in front of the calligraphy and painting counters, and it is the early 80s, when Japan's economy was growing at its peak, and the yen was still at 250 yen to 1 dollar, although it had not yet appreciated. As Japan's GDP rises year by year, the total economic output of this island country has surpassed that of European countries, and it is about to catch up with the United States!
Japanese people have money, they travel all over the world and go on a shopping spree, and Japanese tourists are labeled as "popular customers" in the eyes of the tourism industry in various countries.
The price of calligraphy and paintings in the friendship store is about tens or hundreds of yuan, which is equivalent to the salary of ordinary workers in this period for a month or several months.
Chinese people will not take a second look at such luxury consumer goods at all, and even if they buy it back, it is useless. These spiritual civilization pursuits are not yet taken into account by the common people, and they will think about all kinds of household appliances when they have foreign exchange coupons, such as televisions, washing machines, and refrigerators!
Many people who came into the friendship store went out with a few foreign exchange coupons in their pockets to buy a pack of three or five cigarettes, and they would not look at these calligraphy and paintings.
However, when these Japanese tourists came to the calligraphy and painting counter, they suddenly seemed to encounter something of interest, just like Chinese people in their previous lives who went abroad to buy brand-name luxury goods. Waiting for the salesman to take down the calligraphy and paintings, these Japanese tourists carefully took these cheap calligraphy and paintings and kept nodding, and soon they would not hesitate to buy these calligraphy and paintings.
Another group of Japanese tourists joined the ranks of buying calligraphy and paintings, and the Japanese in this era were big buyers!
They usually buy all the works no matter whose work they are, and they don't care about ordinary calligraphy and paintings that are not famous. These Chinese paintings and calligraphy are simply works of art in the eyes of these Japanese, and their enthusiasm for buying makes Lin Qiangsheng even seem to have returned to his previous life, but the discipline of the Japanese is obviously good and pulls him back to reality.
"If you have good copying skills, you will definitely earn a lot of foreign exchange coupons by setting up a stall near the Friendship Store!" Lin Qiangsheng muttered.
By the time the Japanese tourists left, the calligraphy and paintings in the Friendship Shop had basically been sold out by them. This situation reminded Lin Qiangsheng of the crazy scenes of Chinese people going abroad to shop in his previous life. The same sold out, the same crazy tourists with money!
Of course, some traditional Chinese goods such as porcelain and various jade products from Jingdezhen are also commodities they buy. Especially some small items that are easy to carry, such as jade bracelets, delicate tea sets and teapots, are very popular.
Many ordinary people and customers have never seen this kind of sweeping scene, and they have smacked their tongues in amazement, talking about the fact that the Japanese are now real money, and the calligraphy and paintings of 100 yuan a piece are like big turnips, and they are a bundle when they are bought. After you get your hands on it. These Japanese people are still having fun!
"Cut, these days the native old hat! If you buy some handicrafts for calligraphy and painting, how much money will it be worth in the future? Ma Xuejun's face was full of contempt, muttering that these Japanese did not know the goods.
"What's worth it?" Chen Yao asked Ma Xuejun suspiciously.
"Naturally, the objects in the old house are valuable!" Ma Xuejun boasted and said, "How is it?" I have a relationship, there are all kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings, do you want to see it? He saw that the man and the woman were very generous, and he thought of fooling them with some gadgets.
"Hmph, we won't buy it!" Chen Yao felt that Ma Xuejun was not a good person according to her own judgment, she was afraid that Lin Qiangsheng would be deceived, and she took his hand and held it tightly.
Lin Qiangsheng smiled at Ma Xuejun and said: "Although the Japanese are a little reckless, these calligraphy and paintings may be hundreds of yuan or thousands of yuan if they are put for thirty years." The Japanese can't afford to lose! ”
Ma Xuejun retorted in disbelief and asked: "Who will buy these nameless goods?" ”
Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and did not answer, but quickly pulled Chen Yao to join the rush to buy, and several pairs of good jade bracelets and jade pendants were snatched by him.
The whole shopping process was full of tension, and these domestic salesmen saw that Lin Qiangsheng was a Chinese and obviously did not treat foreigners attentively, but fortunately, a Ma Xuejun helped them to grab good goods.
"You're walking, are you satisfied with this trip?" Ma Xuejun was sweating all over his head, and helped Lin Qiangsheng put everything into the trunk and sat in the car and said.
"Johnson & Johnson. It's hot! Turn on the cold air! Chen Yao was also very tired, and said with her little hands fanning the wind.
"Woo" Lin Qiangsheng started the car. Turn on the air conditioner, and after a while, cold air blows out of the air conditioner.
"Huh? I'm still windy! Ma Xuejun was surprised to find that there was a cool breeze blowing out of the fence hole in the middle of the front seat, and he exclaimed in surprise.
"Huh, how's it going? I said that this is a good car produced by our Bincheng Automobile Factory! Chen Yao nodded his little head and smiled.
"Good car, good car! It's air conditioning, right? I know that Japanese cars have air conditioning, and our domestically produced cars also have air conditioning?! Ma Xuejun looked left and right, looked at the air outlet, and said in surprise.
"You've only seen many!" Chen Yao wanted to tell Ma Xuejun about his knowledge at the Geneva Motor Show, and it was quite boring to show off in front of the turtle after thinking about it. The little girl turned her head away with a snort.
"Thank you today, let's go have a meal and I'll have a treat!" Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile and Ma Xuejun.
Ma Xuejun nodded again and again and smiled: "Okay!" I know a few small shops that are cheap and delicious, so I'll take you there! ”
Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and said, "No need, I'll take you to the Friendship Hotel, it's quite close to here." Convenient! ”
Ma Xuejun said in surprise: "Only foreign guests are accepted there, right?" Chinese people don't accept it! ”
After arriving, Lin Qiangsheng and Chen Yao swaggered into the hotel. Ma Xuejun followed them into the hall tremblingly, for fear of being kicked out, it would be too embarrassing.
As a result, Ma Xuejun found that he was worried in vain, and no one followed Lin Qiangsheng to chase him, which really surprised him.
Lin Qiangsheng and the three of them sat down in the corner of the dining hall lobby, and invited the waiter to order a few meat dishes, Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "It's still affordable meat dishes, what else do you order?" ”
Ma Xuejun said with a smile: "Yes, yes! It's better to have meat dishes! He turned to the waitress and said, "Excuse me, give me another red braised elbow!" ”
Chen Yao looked at Lin Qiangsheng and said aggrievedly: "I'm too tired, can you bring me a few side dishes?" ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded and called a Buddha jumping over the wall and old fire soup, looked at Chen Yao and asked the waiter, "Do you have snake meat here?" Let's have a salt-and-pepper snake meat. Two more beers and a glass of wine. ”
The waiter wrote it down and said with a smile: "Yes, sir, you need to wait a little longer for the old fire soup and salt-and-pepper snake meat, and the other dishes will come later!" ”
When the waiter left, Ma Xuejun gave a thumbs up and praised Lin Qiangsheng: "I have seen it today, you are this!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng smiled, took out two 100-yuan foreign exchange coupons from his bag and handed them to Ma Xuejun, saying, "Thank you today, you are very tired of carrying the bag for us!" ”
Ma Xuejun took the foreign exchange coupon, and was secretly very happy on the surface, he said politely: "You are too polite, I see that you two are honest people!" Thank you! ”
Take care of the two foreign exchange coupons, this is 200 dollars, and the bag is worth it today!
Ma Xuejun looked at the girl, and saw that Chen Yao's face really didn't care, so he was sure that the two people in front of him were big money.
He smiled and asked Lin Qiangsheng, "Where are you going to go tomorrow?" I'm familiar with this part of the capital, have you been to Liulichang and Panjiayuan? I'm sure there's something good, it's a shame not to go shopping! ”
Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "The two of us won't go, and we plan to go back to Bincheng tomorrow." ”
Ma Xuejun was a little disappointed in his eyes, but he smiled in a flash: "When will my brother come to the capital again, you must find me again!" I promise you both had a great time! ”
When the dishes came up, the first ones were all big meat dishes, red stewed elbows, roast goose, steamed chicken, and roasted carp. These meat dishes are the most affordable at this time, and the common people don't see meat a few times a year. Ma Xuejun was no longer polite to Lin Qiangsheng, rolled up his arms and sleeves and began to eat violently.
Chen Yao looked at Ma Xuejun in surprise, and then snorted at Lin Qiangsheng and made an ugly grimace.
After waiting for a while, a few exquisite Cantonese dishes also came up, and Lin Qiangsheng asked Ma Xuejun: "You said that the objects in the old mansion are valuable?" ”
When Ma Xuejun heard Lin Qiangsheng ask, he hurriedly ate a big chicken leg into his stomach a few times, wiped his mouth and asked excitedly: "Brother, are you interested in old things?" Let me tell you that it is the right time to engage in these things, many people have suffered at the beginning and are now timid and want to sell what they have, these people sell things that are cheap and real, and they are good goods! ”
Lin Qiangsheng said: "I'm interested in these old things, but I don't have a house in the capital!" I want to ask if there is an old house for sale? The place is big and the transportation is convenient. If you know anything about this, get in touch with me! ”
"You want to buy an old house?!" Ma Xuejun said in surprise, and then he packed the ticket and said, "I know!" Don't worry, buddy, ponies, I don't know anything else, and I really know a few old houses that go to takeout. I'll get you in touch right away, when is buddy leaving tomorrow? ”
Lin Qiangsheng said: "If you get in touch, I'll postpone it for two days and leave!" ”
Ma Xuejun patted his thigh and said, "Okay, I'll contact you now, you wait for me!" ”
After speaking, Ma Xuejun stood up and left, walked two steps and turned around and said to Lin Qiangsheng with a smile: "Dude, do you still eat these dishes?" He pointed to a few meat dishes on the table and asked Lin Qiangsheng.
Lin Qiangsheng looked at a few meat dishes that had been patronized by Ma Xuejun, and said, "You take them all away, I don't know if you can pack them here?" ”
Ma Xuejun smiled happily: "Okay, brother!" After speaking, Ma Xuejun beckoned the waiter to take out a plastic bag and pack up a few dishes and take them away.
After the "Huh" person left, Chen Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qiangsheng asked with concern.
Chen Yao stuck out her little tongue and whispered: "The meat and vegetables are so tired, I can't even eat the way he eats!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng smiled, pointed to a few dishes on the table and said: "Eat these Cantonese dishes, Buddha jumping over the wall, old fire and beautiful soup are all beautiful and beautiful, girls eat well, and snake meat also has this effect!" ”
"Really, then I'm going to eat more!" Chen Yao suddenly became energetic when she heard the beauty, and she tried to eat a few spoonfuls hard. (To be continued......)
