Chapter 198 Buying Porcelain



This Friendship Store is very large and is divided into several areas.

The area in the middle is the largest, and all the shelves are made of shiny glass.

It was filled with all kinds of porcelain. Although it looked a bit crowded, it was very gorgeous.

There are bottles, plates, cups, and so on.

And it is very Chinese in nature.

The patterns above include various landscapes, flowers and birds.

Chinese people will not buy such things, but foreigners can be said to have no resistance to them.

Porcelain is the most distinctive symbol of China. In English, China and porcelain are both expressed in the same word: CHINA.

On the left side of the porcelain is a special area for embroidery, which also has all kinds of embroidery.

Suzhou embroidery, Shu embroidery, random needle embroidery, double-sided embroidery, different color embroidery······

In her two lifetimes combined, this was the first time that Ruan Mianmian had actually seen so many different kinds of embroidery.

Most of these embroideries were made into ornaments, and obviously, were also intended to be sold to foreigners.

To the right of the porcelain is a special area for miscellaneous handicrafts, such as gold and stone engravings, cultural relics, snuff bottles, and the like.

Going further back, you will see things that are more in line with the current era. For example, the three-turn and one-ring products that were so popular in supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores can now be lined up in a row here and selected at will.

There are also several counters that specialize in selling imported foods, such as coffee, chocolate, etc.

After looking around, Ruan Mianmian found that although there were many things here, there were indeed no jewelry. There were only a few categories of hair accessories. There were not many, and the styles were not trendy.

Seeing this, Ruan Mianmian became more confident in herself.

"Is there anything you want?" Qin Zheng had been following Ruan Mianmian around all the time. He didn't say a word the whole time. He just followed silently, and he had already walked to the place where they had just entered, so he asked.

Ruan Mianmian actually had something she wanted to buy.

She had seen it on the Internet in her previous life, saying that many of the porcelains sold in the Friendship Store today were made by masters of the past.

This batch of porcelain was later called export porcelain.

Although it is not as valuable as the porcelains fired in the five famous kilns during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is definitely worth collecting and investing in.

She wanted to buy some export porcelain now. It would be very cost-effective whether she wanted to display it at home or to invest in collection.

Nowadays, a porcelain vase made by a master costs only a dozen yuan, and the most expensive ones are only a few dozen yuan. In another twenty or thirty years, you may not be able to buy it even if you add three zeros at the end.

Ruan Mianmian is now using her consciousness to search in her space. She remembers that she had exchanged a batch of foreign exchange coupons from Wang Quan before.

I thought it would be useful in the future, so I just kept it.

However, she didn't remember exactly how many there were, so she had to count them clearly before looking at the porcelain.

"Mianmian?!" Qin Zheng noticed that Ruan Mianmian looked absent-minded, so he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes. However, he did not get an immediate response.

He put his hand closer, "Mianmian?!"

After counting the foreign exchange certificates, Ruan Mianmian regained consciousness and her eyes became clear. She looked at Qin Zheng and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's okay. I saw you were distracted just now." Qin Zheng withdrew his hand, feeling a little embarrassed.

''I was just thinking about which one I should buy, there are so many things here.''

She had just counted it and found that there were still 460 yuan worth of foreign exchange coupons in her space.

It should be enough to buy a few porcelain bottles.

Ruan Mianmian walked towards the counter facing the door. The first thing she saw when she came in was the blue and white plum vase placed in the center.

Now, she pointed at the plum vase and said to the salesperson, "Please let me see the blue and white plum vase."

The salesperson was very friendly and followed Ruan Mianmian's instructions. She took the plum vase from the C position and placed it on the tray on the counter that was specially used for valuables.

Ruan Mianmian picked up the plum vase from the tray and turned it around to look at it.

The whole body is covered with twined peony patterns, which is very gorgeous and beautiful.

Turning to the bottom, Ruan Mianmian saw the signature of Wenshanju.

Ruan Mianmian knew that this Wenshanju was the signature of that very famous master.

Nowadays, there are no fakes in the Friendship Store.

Song Qingci was very satisfied and was the first to see the master's work.

"How much is this?" Ruan Mianmian asked as she carefully placed the plum vase back on the tray.

The salesperson smiled and replied, "This blue and white plum vase is priced at 75 yuan, and you will need 75 yuan in foreign exchange coupons."

She knew that these people could afford to buy things.

This blue and white plum vase is the most expensive among these bottles.

Most of the other porcelain bottles are priced between thirty and fifty.

This beautiful lesbian has great taste.

"Okay, I'll take this one." "It's only 75 yuan. She knew that the porcelain vase of Wenshanju was almost 30,000 yuan in 2010. And the quality is not particularly good.

It seems that she doesn't have to go to the black market to find bargains. She can do it openly in this Friendship Store.

There is no purchase limit in Friendship Stores now. As long as you have money and coupons, you can buy as much as you want. No one will control you.

"Okay, I'll give you the invoice right away." The salesperson had a smile on his face, which was a bit like the standard smile of the 21st century service industry.

"Well, I want to see something else. Can we pay for it together later?" Ruan Mianmian had a total of 460 yuan in foreign exchange coupons, and she decided to spend them all.

Anyway, I have a car today, so I can take away even if I buy more.

"Sure, take this ticket first, you can pay with other tickets later. I'll pack this blue and white plum vase for you first." After saying that, the salesperson handed the ticket to Ruan Mianmian and began to look for a packing box in the cabinet under the counter.

This kind of porcelain is fragile, and each one has its own packing box to ensure its safety.

It was obvious that the saleswoman was very skilled in her job. She found the boxes very quickly and packed the items very professionally.

Before Ruan Mianmian had even taken a look at the second piece of porcelain, she had already finished packing the plum vase.

Later, Ruan Mianmian bought a Dehua white porcelain vase with plum blossom lion head ears and a famille rose porcelain plate, spending another 80 yuan in total.

Wenzai watched Ruan Mianmian buying porcelain all the time. He took two steps back and whispered to Qin Zheng's ear, "Boss, why does your sister-in-law always buy porcelain? It can't be eaten or worn. What's the point of buying it? !"

He was totally confused and shocked.

He had only seen foreigners buying this thing, and had never seen any Chinese people buying it.
