Hello 1983

Chapter 255: There were no blue and white flowers in

  Chapter 255 No blue and white flowers in the Yuan Dynasty? (A monthly ticket is requested at the third watch)

  Liu Qingshan is annoyed by this kind of guy who steals love with a knife. Seeing that he is about to find a big leak, he is spoiled by the wool roll, which he can bear.

  So he moved his arms, squeezed his fists, and leaned forward.

   Scared so much that Master Lu and Lao Maoer stretched out their hands and grabbed him: If you hit a foreigner here, that is the old birthday star who hanged himself.

   "I just went to shake his hand and say hello."

  Liu Qingshan was also a little dumbfounded, he was not sick in his mind, how could he do it?

  The best way to deal with foreigners is to fool them directly.

  The old brothers let go when they heard this, Liu Qingshan waved, greeted "Hello", and started chatting with the foreigner.

  The other party is only in his early thirties, over 1.85 meters tall, and has a strong build. It seems that he attaches great importance to exercise and sports.

  Liu Qingshan also spoke proficient English and said: "Sir, I think it is necessary to popularize the historical knowledge of China for you, and then you can make a decision."

   Wool Roll looked at him a little blankly, not knowing what this guy wanted to do.

  Liu Qingshan snapped his fingers and told foreigners about the Qin, Han, Jin and Tang Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the approximate time of the Republic of China, and soon confused the foreigners:

   "My God, China is indeed a country with a long history, unlike our United States, which has a short history."

  The foreigner shrugged his shoulders and added: "Although we have a short history, we are very strong now." After speaking, he bent his arms and showed off his muscles.

  Of course, the only ancient civilization that has not broken its inheritance is not just kidding.

  Although it is still in its infancy, it will rise again in a few decades and compete with your country.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingshan became full of confidence again: "Oh, friend, you are very smart, you should be able to understand, I mean, this big bowl is from the period of the Republic of China, and it is only a few decades from now , so it’s not really an antique.”

   "You can buy those antiques from earlier eras, that are the treasures that witness history."

  Hearing what he said, the waiters behind the counter all rolled their eyes at Liu Qingshan, probably thinking that this guy is a traitor who worships foreigners.

   In front of foreign guests, she looks like a slave, I am!

  The wool roll foreigner kept nodding: "Thank you, friend. You can call me McCall. I work at the embassy. Thank you for your advice."

   "You can call me Liu."

   Seeing that he succeeded in fooling you, Liu Qingshan reached out his hand again and shook McCall again.

  Mr. McCall went to look at other antique porcelain with great interest.

  Liu Qingshan gave him another piece of advice: "Actually, if you want to buy porcelain to take home, you should buy those modern porcelain. The craftsmanship is very good, and you can use it with confidence. Even if you accidentally break it, you don't feel bad."

   After finishing speaking, he winked at McCall: "It's also good to give away, let's say it's a valuable antique, and your domestic friends won't be able to tell the difference anyway."

   Oh, can you still do this?

  McCall suddenly felt a little enlightened: Yes, anyway, in their eyes, they couldn’t tell the porcelain from that era. Why didn’t they buy those cheap modern products?

  The more I thought about it, the more reasonable it became. McCall gave Liu Qingshan a hug directly: "Oh, Liu, thank you so much. Come to my place if you have time. I'll treat you to coffee."

  Although they couldn't understand what they said, they were taken aback by Master Lu and Lao Maoer: Amazing!

  Soon McCall went to look at those modern porcelains, temporarily said goodbye to Liu Qingshan, and when he left, Liu Qingshan nodded to the waiter:

   "Please pack the big bowl just now, I want it."

   Ah this?

  The waiter widened his eyes: "You, you..."

  Liu Qingshan smiled: "How can such a good thing fall into the hands of foreigners."

   "Okay, sir, three thousand yuan. It's a pity that we can't discount here, otherwise we will give you a cheaper price." The waiter was angry at Liu Qingshan just now, but now he looks more and more pleasing to the eye.

  Liu Qingshan also thanked: "I didn't go to exchange foreign exchange certificates, can I use US dollars directly?"

"Ok, Ok."

  The waiter quickly packed the big porcelain bowl, and after Liu Qingshan paid, he put the packed porcelain bowl on the counter.

  Liu Qingshan was about to stretch out his hand, but another big furry hand covered the palm of his hand. When he looked up, it was the wool roll from just now. He went back and forth and stared at him angrily:

   "Just now you also fell in love with this big bowl, right, you deceived my feelings!"

   "McCall, I think you've misunderstood something."

Liu Qingshan still had a faint smile on his face, and he said unhurriedly: "The one that suits you is the best, and I already have porcelain from other dynasties, so I just bought another piece from the Republic of China, and it would be perfect , and you don't need to."

  The big furry hand withdrew immediately, obviously, his master was successfully fooled again.

   "Liu, I was impulsive, I apologize to you, can you help me to buy some porcelain, each of them is so exquisite, I don't know how to choose."

   McCall was soon smiling again.

   All right, for the sake of your sincerity, I will help you.

  Liu Qingshan signaled to Master Lu that they would continue to select antiques here, serve as consultants for foreigners, and select modern porcelain. His level is sufficient.

   Next, Liu Qingshan showed his profound knowledge: Four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, you have to get a complete set.

  The Twelve Beauties of Jinling, these are the beauties in our famous novels, all of them are of Hepburn's level, and a set is a must.

   And this one, one hundred and eight generals in Liangshan in Shuibo...

   This can make the workers in charge of packaging porcelain in the Friendship Store very busy, and the manager looks at Liu Qingshan enthusiastically: Talented people, if the employees in my store are so good, I don’t have to worry about sales at all.

  After Liu Qingshan finished helping, he found that the two middle-aged uncles over there were not at all inferior, and spent all the fifty thousand dollars he brought.

  Looking at the expressions of the two people, they definitely want to continue shopping, but unfortunately they really have no money in their pockets.

  However, it can be regarded as a fruitful harvest. A total of more than ten pieces of porcelain were purchased, all of which are high-quality goods. Liu Qingshan also beamed with joy: This should be regarded as a good start, and it is still a big hit.

  The workers of the Friendship Store were busy carrying out the packaged porcelain. Liu Qingshan’s side was not bad, while McCall’s side was piled up into a hill.

  The product came in a car, and it couldn’t fit in the trunk. Finally, the manager communicated with him and asked for his detailed address, and he will deliver the product to the door in a while.

  When going out, McCall greeted Liu Qingshan: "Liu, you are welcome to visit me."

   "Definitely, I wonder if you can watch the broadcast of the Olympic Games?"

  Liu Qingshan also had an idea, so he asked with a smile.

   McCall also shrugged his shoulders and complained: "Unfortunately, I can only see the broadcast in your country, oh, my flying man Carl Lewis, and my diving prince Louganis!"

  When this guy was holding his head, he was interrupted by a greeting from the side: "Sir, you like porcelain very much, and if you waste your precious time, can you take a look at this piece of porcelain of mine?"

  Speaking in stumbling English, even Liu Qingshan followed his reputation. It was a man in a white shirt, wearing glasses, less than thirty years old, holding a large cardboard box in his arms.

   McCall is also used to it. Since coming to this country, he has often met people selling things to him, so he quickly shifted his attention from Lewis and Louganis to the other party's cardboard boxes.

  The man immediately showed joy, put the box on the ground, opened it carefully, and took out a huge jar from it.

  It’s so big, it’s probably enough to be used as a jar for pickling salted duck eggs.

   "Sir, this is an old item from my family. It will be yours for $20,000."

  The man seemed a little reluctant, but soon made up his mind.

   "Hey, this price is too high. I bought more than a hundred pieces of porcelain just now, and it only cost a few thousand dollars."

   McCall shook his head vigorously, probably thinking so in his heart:

  Although your jar is relatively large, I have a lot of it.

  Disappointment flashed in the man's eyes, and he was about to put the jar back in the box.

   "Can we take a look?"

  Liu Qingshan also asked in English.

   "You are an overseas Chinese, you can, of course you can!" The man's eyes showed hope again.

  Old Maoer and Master Lu leaned over to start researching, while Liu Qingshan chatted with the man without saying a word:

   "Since it is inherited from the family, where can I sell it?"

  The man adjusted his glasses with his hand: "I want to go abroad, I want to leave this place forever!"

  Liu Qingshan originally had a good impression of this person, but now he is completely disappointed: No matter what you have experienced, a person who has abandoned his motherland, he does not bother to be with him.

  Even the old hat straightened up, looked at the guy with disdain, and muttered: "Forget about the dog of the ancestors!"

  Master Lu nodded towards Liu Qingshan: "It should be a blue and white jar from the Ming Dynasty. If it costs 20,000 US dollars, it is not worth it."

   "I am blue and white from the Yuan Dynasty!" The man was still arguing.

   "Hehe, who doesn't know, there were no blue and white flowers in the Yuan Dynasty, who are you kidding?" Master Lu didn't have a good face.

   "This is passed down from generation to generation of my ancestors, how could it be wrong."

  The man continued to argue.

  Liu Qingshan's heart suddenly moved, he suddenly remembered a public case in the collection circle: there was no blue and white flowers in the Yuan Dynasty, which has always been a domestic misunderstanding.

   It was foreign researchers who were the first to discover, but because of the lack of international communication, people in China still had the original misconception.

   It wasn't until the big Yuan blue and white jar from Guigu Xiashan was auctioned for a sky-high price that it became well known to the Chinese people.

   Could it be that this big jar is really a big blue and white jar from Yuan Dynasty?

  Just now he didn’t take a closer look, because he was a complete layman in appraising antiques, and it was useless to look at them, but now, of course, he has to take a good look.

  First pick up the big jar and look at the bottom, there is no inscription, and most of the Yuan blue and white are also not there.

  Since Master Lu can date it to the Ming Dynasty, it may be a large blue and white jar from the Yuan Dynasty.
