Chapter 10 People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away
[The content of the previous chapters has been adjusted, and the attribute panel has been added, but the plot has probably not changed]
After Han Ze left the inn, he came to the small lake and brought on his wig and beard.
I took a picture of the lake, adjusted the angle, and then glued it to the corners of my eyes and eyebrows with my own glue to pull out the wrinkles.
This is a simple makeup technique taught to him by the owner who sells wigs.
His whole appearance and temperament immediately changed, from a vigorous young scholar in his twenties to a profiteer in his forties with a greasy face.
But if it's an acquaintance, you can still tell it at a glance.
However, this is enough.
I inquired all the way to the watch shop that sold pocket watches, not far from the jewelry store that I had been selling before.
The long-skinned guy who chased Han Ze with a broom before was naturally impossible to recognize him.
Seeing Han Ze, who was brightly dressed, coming over, he posted a flattering greeting on his face: "This uncle, our jewelry store has new Beiyi new goods, which can be used to give to Mrs. Miss." ”
"Get out." Han Ze scolded with a look of disgust.
The long-skinned guy was not only not angry, but even more grovelling and sneering: "Hey, sir, you go slowly." ”
Rich people have this attitude, and the taste is very pure.
Han Ze went straight to the watch shop.
The store was deserted, there were no customers, only the round-headed and round-headed guy stood at the door and waited.
In the era of industrial backwardness, luxury goods such as clocks and watches cannot be consumed by ordinary people, and it is normal for no one to have one.
It belongs to the March is not open, and the opening is March.
Seeing Han Ze come in, the guy who was napping on the door immediately bent over mechanically, piled up a professional smirk and said, "Hello boss, welcome to Yongchang Watch Company." ”
The boss, who was lying on the Taishi chair at the back of the shop, also sat up immediately when he heard the sound.
The boss with a shy stomach has a short figure and a smiling face, looking like Maitreya Buddha.
"Under the surname Ge, his name is Ge Yongchang. I don't know what to call your guests? ”
"My surname is Jia."
"Hello Boss Jia, I don't know what style of clock you want to buy, we have ...... here"
Han Ze didn't speak, and walked around the store.
The shop is not large, and there are more than a dozen "antique" clocks in the cabinet against the wall, including wall clocks, table clocks, self-striking clocks, and so on.
The gears can be seen through the wooden and metal casings, constantly rotating.
Han Ze turned around and asked, "Boss Ge, do you have a pocket watch here?" ”
"Absolutely!" Ge Yongchang was also observing Han Ze, judging from the expression on his face, the other party had purchasing power, and when he heard this, he immediately smiled, "Boss Jia, wait a moment." ”
Then he entered the back room, and soon carefully took out a black wood grain box.
Carefully open it on the counter.
Inside was a red flannel cloth with a round pocket watch quietly placed on it, a silver-white dial with two black hands and Arabic numerals.
Outside the dial is a bright silver ring, topped by a winding dial and a buckle.
It's mediocre, and it can even be called ugly.
Ge Yongchang carefully took out his pocket watch at an extremely slow speed.
Han Ze smiled secretly in his heart, although this pocket watch is indeed quite expensive in this era and needs to be handled gently, but the boss's overly cautious appearance is obviously to raise his value.
Just like those luxury stores, which engage in hunger marketing, they are obviously industrialized FMCG products, but through a series of brainwashing, they create a feeling that it is difficult to find a product, and missing it is a lifetime of regret.
He was about to find a chance to pretend it, but he didn't expect the boss to pretend with him first, of course, he was accompanied.
He shouted dissatisfiedly, "Stop, stop." ”
"Huh? What's wrong, Boss Jia? When the boss heard this, he immediately put the pocket watch in the box and asked suspiciously.
Han Ze said unceremoniously: "The boss still sells watches, and he doesn't even understand the basic rules of taking watches. ”
Ge Yongchang was stunned by Han Ze's words, "What, what rules?" ”
Han Ze unhurriedly took out a pair of white gloves from his lined pocket, shook Ge Yongchang and the round-faced guy's confused expressions, and put on the gloves slowly.
"Sweat on your hands can damage the surface paint of your pocket watch, and in severe cases, it can even cause damage to the internal mechanical parts, which not only damages its aesthetics, but also greatly reduces its lifespan."
"You don't even understand this truth, you're still a watch seller."
Ge Yongchang was speechless, and his face was dumbfounded, "Uh...... Boss Jia is right, it was my father who ran this shop before, and I really didn't know much about it. ”
In fact, he followed his father to buy and sell clocks and watches at the age of ten, and it has been a full thirty years now, and he can feel the quality of watches with his eyes closed and his hands.
But Han Ze's words made him feel like a dirt bun who had never seen the world, and he instantly became a head shorter.
Han Ze did not continue to humiliate him with words, but planned to use practical actions.
He casually picked up the pocket watch in the box, and Ge Yongchang was still in self-doubt, and he was embarrassed to stop it.
While Han Ze picked up the pocket watch with one hand, he took out a delicate magnifying glass from his arms with the other hand and looked at the pocket watch carefully.
How can this handmade pocket watch from the early industrial age stand up to a magnifying glass?
The silver ring, the glass lid, the sterling silver dial inside, etc., can be seen on the clear traces of processing, and even the pores.
Han Ze's face showed a hint of disdain at the right time, and he put it down after only two glances.
Ge Yongchang saw the large magnifying glass in Han Ze's hand and determined that the other party was a "watch player".
He also had a magnifying glass, but it was not so delicate and dwarfed.
At this time, seeing the disdain on Han Ze's face, he was really ashamed of himself, and asked embarrassedly, "That...... What's the matter, Boss Jia, are you not satisfied with this pocket watch? ”
Han Ze shook his head and said, "Ordinary, too ordinary." Is there a better watch? ”
Ge Yongchang hurriedly said: "Of course, Boss Jia, you wait for a while." ”
He went into the house and brought a larger box, and this time the box was wrapped in a layer of golden flannel, which was extremely precious.
Ge Yongchang opened the sandalwood box, and inside was an even more elaborate embossed bracelet watch.
This is the treasure of his town store, and he just wants to save it.
"This watch is imported from Nanyang Langx, named Poppy, 6.5 cm long, dial diameter 4.5 cm, weight 100 grams, the outer shell material is 18K gold, the dial hands are made of shells and amber respectively, and the inside and outside are carved with exquisite landscape patterns, which are very precious."
"The seventh princess of the Great Cangguo Kingdom, Cang Kite, she is wearing a poppy beauty on her hand, so she is deeply loved by dignitaries."
In Ge Yongchang's frightened look, Han Ze casually picked up the watch and looked at it, and then put it back in the box, "The style is outdated." ”
"Huh? Poppies are outdated? When Ge Yongchang heard this, his face was incredulous, "How could it be, the most popular watch in Wulin Mansion now is Yu Meiren, and it is difficult to find a watch." This is also a sample, and if you want to stock it, you need to book it six months in advance. ”
Han Ze said: "You also said that it is the capital city, the top celebrities and rich people in the national capital and the Nanyang countries, poppies are not uncommon. ”
Ge Yongchang gradually came back to his senses, and said very modestly: "May I ask Boss Jia, what styles are popular now, can you open your eyes?" ”
Half of what he said was to ask for advice, and half of it was to see Han Ze's strength.
After talking for a long time, if he can't get something, then he will doubt the other party's intentions.
Han Ze smiled slightly.
He then took out a Seiko enamel bracelet watch from his lined pocket.
Although in his opinion, the style workmanship is not satisfactory, but for Ge Yongchang in this world, it is completely a dimensionality reduction blow, and he is directly dumbfounded.
In this world, there is such a beautiful watch?
Whether it is texture, shape, workmanship, etc., they all hang the "poppy" in the box.
In fact, in addition to the commendable material and hand-made hand-made antique watches like poppies, what can be compared with modern Seiko pocket watches?
Han Ze took off his gloves and handed them to him.
Ge Yongchang put on his gloves and carefully picked up the enamel chain pocket watch in front of him that looked like a "thing outside the sky".
As soon as he got started, he felt that the difference was even more obvious, and the feeling was not something of the same era at all.
He didn't even use a magnifying glass to look closely, just touching the dial and the belly cover with his hands, he could feel the huge difference in quality between the two, and it could even be said that there was a difference between cloud and mud.
People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away.
This is what Ge Yongchang thinks now.
Ge Yongchang took the "unpretentious" enamel bracelet watch, and then looked at the "bells and whistles" relief poppies in the box, and felt like crying.
