Shining Tenmoku tea bowl.
This is a very famous national treasure of Japan, and it is said that there are only three and a half of them in existence.
The Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl was produced in the Jian Kiln of Huaguo (Fujian Province) in the Southern Song Dynasty. After it was introduced to Japan, it was extremely sought after and loved by the Japanese.
In 2016, the fourth intact Yaobian Tenmoku tea bowl appeared on a treasure appraisal program in Japan.
The news caused a sensation in Japan. Experts identified it on the spot and believed it to be authentic. They estimated its value at 20 million yen, which was about 1.62 million RMB at the time.
The one collected in Tokyo (formerly owned by a famous Japanese artist) is worth hundreds of millions of yen.
The news was widely reported by the Japanese media and eventually spread to the country through the Internet.
So, a Chinese woman who had worked and studied in Jingdezhen fell into deep thought while watching the video.
Isn't this the failed product I made when I was an apprentice?
The aunt has made a room full of similar things, and she only sells them for 80 yuan each, but they are still not as popular as the sledgehammer sold next door...
Yoshitoki Okayama, standing in front of the display case, was also lost in thought.
Horror and surprise kept switching between each other in his small eyes.
——Could it be that the fortune I drew at Sensoji Temple before going abroad has come true?
Don’t worry, don’t worry, Okayama Yoshitoki, you must take a good look!!!
The staff member accompanying Yoshitoki Okayama was named Meng.
Xiao Meng is promoting the astragalus he distributes to Yoshitoki Okayama.
Looking at Yoshitoki Okayama who was staring at the display cabinet and looking at it repeatedly, Xiao Meng felt helpless.
He guessed that the Japanese was pretending again in order to keep him out of the sight so that he could agree to the other party's price and conditions.
It’s just an ugly green bowl, oh, haha, but the price tag for a set is one hundred and fifty yuan.
The comrades in this guesthouse are really good at sharpening knives...
It's a pity that these devils are just pretending. They are just looking for topics to distract from the in-depth discussion on price. Who would buy this?
But the situation was beyond Xiao Meng's expectations.
Okayama Yoshitoki suddenly looked up and said a few words in broken Chinese to the waitress behind the counter.
"Miss, I want this!"
The waitress standing behind the counter was Jiang Mulan, who was only nineteen years old.
She was admitted as a high school student and still has a lot of passion in her heart.
Okayama Yoshitoki spoke three sentences in a halting manner, and her chin raised three times.
From looking down at all living beings to looking at the world at eye level and then to looking up at the stars.
He perfectly displayed the coolest posture of a salesperson of that era for Yoshitoki Okayama to admire.
If it were any other hosting organization, Jiang Mulan's attitude would be extremely unacceptable, but it was precisely this attitude that made Okayama Yoshitoki more enthusiastic.
Don’t want to sell?
That would taste even better!
Xiao Meng also felt that the girl had gone a bit too far. Couldn't she express the contempt in her eyes a little more tactfully?
"Please help me wrap this tea bowl, thank you!"
Okayama Yoshitoki's voice was not loud but very sincere, and he even bowed slightly to Jiang Mulan.
Jiang Mulan looked up at the sky, lightly took out a freshly made sign and placed it on the counter.
[Souvenirs in this counter are not sold to foreign guests]!!!
What?!
Okayama Yoshitoki could roughly understand the Chinese characters.
Won’t sell it to me?
His eyes rolled and he immediately looked at Xiao Meng beside him with a smile, an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"Meng Sang, this trick of yours is very much to my liking!"
He pointed to the tea bowl.
"You can buy this tea bowl for me now. The price of the astragalus is negotiable!"
Xiao Meng was confused by Okayama Yoshitoki's first sentence, but when he heard the five words "the price is negotiable", his eyes immediately lit up.
"Little comrade, I'll buy this bowl."
Xiao Meng hurriedly prepared to pay.
Jiang Mulan felt that what was more annoying than the Japanese was the translator...
Her tone was cold.
"Sorry, souvenirs are sold in sets."
Xiao Meng took one look at the price of one hundred and fifty yuan per set and felt very disappointed.
"Mr. Okayama, please wait a moment. I'll be right back."
Xiao Meng went to report to Section Chief Luo.
Buying such expensive items for foreign guests needs to be reported in advance, otherwise who will he ask for reimbursement later?
Chief Luo was resting at the back of the hall.
He was delighted when he heard that Okayama Yoshitoki had actually given in.
"I've approved that set of things. You buy it for Gangshan right away," Chief Luo said, seeming to think of something. He stopped Xiao Meng, who was about to leave, and said, "Wait a minute. Go find Director Xiao Zhang at the guesthouse. Tell him what I said and ask him to sell it to us at yesterday's original price."
“Original price?”
"Yes, the guesthouse deliberately raised the price tenfold to avoid direct business with foreign guests."
When Xiao Meng heard that it was only 15 yuan per set, he immediately went to the second floor... and then came back dejected.
"Director Xiao Zhang is not here. The person in charge is a girl from Sichuan. She said the price has already been reported to the Corps and cannot be changed for the time being, otherwise they won't be able to do the accounting. She said we should call their Corps..."
Chief Luo smiled bitterly and shook his head.
In order to save a hundred yuan, he asked his department to call the Construction Corps. That would make outsiders laugh to death.
"Okay, I've got your approval. I'll go buy it right away. It'll also help the guesthouse generate some revenue."
Looking at the 150 yuan in front of her that was obviously collected together, Jiang Mulan's impression of the translator Meng became even worse.
She wrapped the things up and handed them over in a bad mood, but the devil actually made another request.
