Chapter 34 Opening for Business

The Chrono Arts and Crafts Shop was officially opened. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The opening scene was very deserted, except for Chen Xu and Li Huamei, no one else participated. They only put a few strings of firecrackers and set up 2 flower baskets in front of the store, which is considered to be officially open.

Several shopkeepers around were also enthusiastic, and they came into the store to say a few polite words and buy a few gadgets each, which was considered a gift money.

On the display cabinet, most of the porcelain from the Tang and Ming dynasties are placed. In addition to this, there is a wide variety of handicrafts.

Not long after opening the store, they welcomed their first customer.

In fact, it can't be described as "welcome", because Chen Xu hid behind the computer to surf the Internet, browsing the recent news gossip.

As for Li Huamei, she is still wearing the modified Ming costume, sitting on a chair and learning cross-stitch seriously.

She was already disgusted with fighting, disgusted with intriguing business activities, and decided to regain the fun she had lost, usually raising flowers, planting grass, learning from female popularity, and being an ordinary little woman.

It's just that with that cold eyes and arrogant temperament, she doesn't look like a little woman no matter how you look at it.

The customer was an old man dressed in a Tang costume with gray hair and deep, bright eyes, and a bright look.

The old man didn't care that no one greeted him, and walked directly to the display cabinet to take a closer look.

"Huh? This、This seems to be the blue and white beast pattern flower in the Wanli period? And this, this is a colorful dragon and phoenix pattern plate? What is placed there seems to be porcelain from the early Tang Dynasty? ”

The old man went to the rest of the display cases to watch, and his heart was shocked.

He is an expert in the identification of antiques, and from the front of these porcelains alone, they are indistinguishable from the original. If he hadn't seen the prompt of "high imitation porcelain, all 20,000", he really wouldn't have seen that these things were fakes.

"Boss, can you show it to me?"

Li Huamei was still doing embroidery, Chen Xu glanced up, and said casually: "If you want to see it, take it out and look at it yourself, and it's not locked." ”

In response to Chen Xu's attitude of ignoring him, the old man somewhat believed that these porcelains were fakes.

He took out his white gloves and put them on, opened the cabinet, and took out a piece of porcelain for appreciation. But no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this thing was no different from the real thing.

Could it be that he was really old, so that the boss told him that it was a fake, and he couldn't see where the porcelain in his hand was fake.

The old man put the porcelain in his hand back into the display cabinet and took out another piece of porcelain for identification. Unfortunately, he still couldn't tell that it was a fake.

Chen Xu was probably a little impatient, "Old man, do you want to buy it?" Let me tell you, the porcelain we have here is all imitation, and it's basically the same as the real thing. You can buy it back and put it at home with confidence, so that no one can see it. ”

Well, it's the real thing, and if anyone can recognize it as a fake, it's just talking nonsense with their eyes open.

"I'll see, I'll see."

The old man was very competitive, and he took a multicolored cloud dragon pattern lid jar and looked at it carefully, but he still couldn't see any traces of imitation.

Ten minutes later, the old man gave up, spent 60,000 yuan to pick three pieces of porcelain and left.

Chen Xu happily looked at the text message that 60,000 yuan had arrived, and asked Li Huamei: "Huamei, are those three things worth it?" ”

Li Huamei didn't raise her head, "About three taels of silver." This kind of stuff is bought in boxes and is not worth a few dollars. ”

The words were divided into two ends, but it was said that the old man happily returned home with three pieces of porcelain, and wanted to call a few old friends to identify them to see if they could distinguish the real from the fake.

Several old men gathered together and took three pieces of porcelain back and forth to identify them, but still could not find any traces of fakes. So, they came to Chen Xu's handicraft shop in a group and bought more than a dozen pieces of porcelain at one time.

On the first day of opening, Chen Xu earned more than 300,000 yuan, and he was indescribably comfortable.

The news that there was high imitation porcelain in the antique street somehow spread to the Internet. It is said that there is a handicraft shop, and the high imitation porcelain of the Tang and Ming dynasties sold in it can be completely fake. And several well-known antique experts said that even they could not tell that it was a fake.

After this news was widely forwarded by netizens, it immediately attracted the attention of people with concerns.

National Security Agency.

When the head of the criminal investigation team saw this news, he immediately reported it to the authorities, speculating that the source of the porcelain sold by the craft store may be related to the crosser who was closely watched.

After some investigation, Director Liu Jian immediately gave instructions:

First, a complete blockade of news about high imitation porcelain

Second, immediately send someone to approach Chen Xu and launch a relevant investigation

Third, spread false news and set up baits to guide foreign secret service organizations to shift their targets

……

On this morning, a thin and weak girl appeared in front of Chen Xu's store.

She stood in front of the store and walked back and forth, as if there was something difficult to decide. Finally, he finally made up his mind to walk into the store and asked timidly, "Boss, are you hiring people here?" I don't want a salary, I just need food and shelter. ”

Chen Xu poked his head out from behind the computer and looked at the girl carefully.

She has a delicate face, and there is some immaturity on her face. The two index fingers placed on the abdomen kept twisting, looking cramped and uneasy.

Li Huamei also glanced up at the girl, her eyes involuntarily half-narrowed, as if she was thinking about something.

Seeing that neither of them answered, the girl hurriedly said: "Boss, I came out of the countryside to work, but I didn't expect to be cheated out of all my money by a scammer." Do well, and take me. I'm very capable, as long as I have a place to eat and live. ”

Chen and Li glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths flashed with inexplicable smiles at the same time.

"Well, then you can stay. We don't have anything to do with that, you just clean up and watch the things in the store. Someone comes to buy something, and you just charge the price tag. ”

When the girl heard that Chen Xu was willing to take her in, she immediately bowed down and thanked: "Thank you, boss, I will work hard." ”

The girl is very diligent, very intelligent, and cheerful.

She quickly cleaned the store and memorized the prices of all the items in less than an hour.

In her spare time, she chatted with Li Huamei about her sister and sister, talked about her experience, and talked about some interesting stories in the countryside.

In this regard, Li Huamei just smiled slightly, and continued to bow her head and embroider the unfinished cross-stitch.

The day passed quickly, and Chen Xu and Li Huamei seemed to be very relieved of the girl, and cleaned up a room for her in the store for her to spend the night.

At the beginning of the day, the two walked down the street after dinner.

"How?" Chen Xu suddenly asked without a trace.

"What do you say?" Li Huamei replied meaningfully.

The two looked at each other and smiled, "There's a problem!" ”
