Chapter 31: Miss Pan Limei

If you come to Kyoto after 140 years, you will see a beautiful and elegant ancient capital city, clean as if it had been washed with clean water, and it was spotless.

But today, Hu Chuyuan sees more poverty.

There is a very small Karatown in Kyoto, located in the southeast of the city, and there is a very prosperous grocery market called "Muromachi-dori" more than 200 meters to the west.

Pan Rong did not have a Fuzhou guild hall in Kyoto, because there were very few Chinese here, and only people like him who had lived in Kyoto for more than ten years and whose style had long been transformed would have the opportunity to come to Kyoto to stay in the industry.

His home is located here, in the neighborhood of Muromachi-dori, in a traditional Tsumachi-style garden.

The garden was full of cherry blossom trees, and on the wooden steps under the eaves, two women in kimonos were whispering something, one was a gentle young woman of twenty-six or seventeen, the other was a beautiful girl with a sweet and kind smile, two cute little dimples, full of fresh and agile charm, the hair of the shawl was black and bright, and the skin was fair and shiny, and it seemed that she could pinch out water.

Beautiful women are always very eye-catching, and when you see them, as long as they are men, your mood will be unconsciously happy.

Seeing Pan Rong coming back, the young woman and the girl stood up meekly and obediently, and cautiously greeted Pan Rong and Hu Chuyuan.

At this time, Pan Rong couldn't wait to introduce Hu Chuyuan to his wife Naiko Fukuyama, his daughter Pan Limei, also known as Fukuyama Limei, was born to his ex-wife Pan Huang and was also the only child under Pan Rong's knees.

After living in Yuben for 20 years, Pan Rong has become accustomed to everything here, has his own home, has a name - Fushan Rongtian, and continues to marry a young and beautiful Yuben woman as his wife.

Most of the people who live nearby also call their family "Fukuyama family".

I don't know why, Hu Chuyuan couldn't help but look at Pan Limei a few more times, the more he looked at it, the more beautiful he felt, and she was docile and tender, just like a little lamb worthy of love.

It is said that the kimono is made of a single piece of silk, and because the fit is very tight, a woman cannot wear underwear when wearing a kimono, which can also fully show the woman's figure, so that people can judge the height at a glance.

……

In short, Miss Pan Limei has a magic that can make all men feel excited.

Hu Chuyuan couldn't help but like it a little.

Now that the guests had arrived, the mother and daughter were to go back to prepare lunch with the servants, and once again to leave with a careful and meek farewell.

It was only at this time that Hu Chuyuan couldn't help laughing, feeling that Pan Rong was still very blessed.

Because they did not visit Osaka with Hu Chuyuan, Wang Yirong, Shen Furong and others arrived here two days in advance.

Entering the living room with Pan Rong, Hu Chuyuan saw Wang Yirong and Shen Furong discussing around a large porcelain vase with black lines on a white background.

As soon as he saw Hu Chuyuan, Shen Furong immediately smiled and said, "Owner, I dug up a treasure today, you can also come and take a look!" ”

"Oh?" Hu Chuyuan walked over curiously and took a look, but he couldn't see anything famous, so he asked Shen Furong directly: "What is the origin of this porcelain vase?" ”

Shen Furong smiled: "We bought it for two foreign yuan at a stall in Muromachi-dori, if I'm not mistaken, this should be a Cizhou kiln in the Song Dynasty." Although it is a folk kiln, it can be regarded as a masterpiece in Cizhou folk kiln. Such a porcelain vase is sent back to China, and many dare not say that someone must receive it for a hundred foreign yuan. ”

Wang Yirong also nodded slightly, and said: "It can be worth about eighty taels of silver in the capital, which is interesting, there are still a lot of such porcelain in the Muromachi-dori area, and we dug out more than ten pieces after shopping for a long time, and this one is the most exquisite." ”

Hu Chuyuan didn't expect that he could find real antiques in the stall of Yueben, so he asked Pan Rong: "Our old porcelain is so worthless in Yueben?" ”

Pan Rong smiled: "This kind of thing, I really don't know, and I don't understand the tricks inside." I just heard from a friend that during the Song Dynasty, it was a maritime trade with Shandong and Hebei, and during the Japanese Dynasty, it often looted the coastal areas. Their porcelain was hard to come by and well preserved, and in recent years, due to the decline of traditional samurai and low-ranking nobles, many treasured porcelains have flowed into the grocery market. ”

Wang Yirong said: "I think it's about the same, I haven't looked at it carefully, that is, the Cizhou kiln is easy to identify, you can see it at a glance, and there are a lot of them, so I bought more than a dozen with Boss Shen." ”

Shen Furong said to Hu Chuyuan: "Owner, this business can be done, I will send a few people in the future to purchase these folk kiln fine porcelain in the private sector for a long time." Two foreign dollars are collected, dozens of foreign dollars are sold, and there is a lot of profit! If we can encounter such a boutique, we will keep it, only exchange it and not sell it. ”

Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly, and asked Pan Rong, "Boss Pan, do you want to join a share?" You have lived in this book for many years, and you have a lot of networks, and with your help, this business is easy to do! ”

Pan Rong was slightly happy, and said with a smile a little embarrassed: "It's a pity that I don't understand!" ”

Shen Furong said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I'll send a few masters who really understand old porcelain to come over, you just need to help take care of the relationship." ”

Pan Rong smiled: "Okay, I'll give a share, thank you Jin Gongzi and Boss Shen!" ”

Everyone laughed.

The rate of return of this business is really good, but the total profit is really a drop in the bucket for Hu Chuyuan, he doesn't care too much, he just gives Pan Rong a little benefit.

If you really want to visit the Nishijin Club, you have to wait for Pan Rong to make arrangements, I'm afraid it will have to wait until tomorrow, Hu Chuyuan said to Shen Furong and Wang Yirong: "Then let's go to Muromachi-dori in the afternoon!" ”

"Okay!" Shen Furong looked happy, as if he felt that he was going to have good luck.

Pan Rongze and Hu Chuyuan said: "Okay, you go around first." I know a few friends who are engaged in the silk trade here, and I will meet them in the afternoon and arrange tomorrow's itinerary for you! ”

Hu Chuyuan arched his hand and said, "Then there is Boss Laopan!" ”

After lunch, Pan Rong was about to go out to run errands, while Hu Chuyuan and Shen Furong went to Muromachi-tong together.

Walking to the corridor of the courtyard, it happened that the mother and daughter walked over again, Pan Rong hurriedly called the two of them and asked them to accompany Hu Chuyuan to Muromachi-dori, and specially advised: "Jin Gongzi is a distinguished guest from Zhejiang, and he is a newcomer, don't let him be deceived by those little liars in Muromachi-do!" ”

Nako Fukuyama smiled and replied in half-baked Chinese: "Please rest assured, I will take good care of you!" ”

Although Naiko Fukuyama said this, Pan Rong was still not at ease, after all, there were many down-and-out samurai in the place of Muromachi-dori, and they would draw their swords against each other if they disagreed.
