A treasure-appraisal maniac

Lu Fei was looking for clues in Sifangzhai and happened to overhear the conversation between his boss and the foreign translator.

"Boss, Mr. Smith needs a piece of good antique porcelain. Please recommend it."

The translator pointed to the slightly hunchbacked old scholar next to him and said to the boss.

"This is Mr. Gao Xuelin, the archaeological consultant of the Yunnan Museum. In order to save everyone's time, please ask the boss to bring out the best antique porcelain. We, Mr. Smith, are not short of money."

The translator pointed out Gao Xuelin's identity and told the boss, don't fool people with fake things, we are prepared. ??

Of course the boss understood the meaning of the translation and smiled slightly.

"Sir, please rest assured, our store is most honest and honest."

"However, our store does not have high-quality goods for the time being. If you want high-quality antique porcelain, you may have to wait for a few days."

The translator frowned slightly and said calmly.

"We heard that Sifangzhai traded a piece of Song Dynasty porcelain with the medical merchant Mr. Wang Xian some time ago, so we came here because of its reputation."

"We, Mr. Smith, are not short of money. We hope the boss will not let us go home disappointed!"

The boss smiled helplessly and said.

"Sir, we are open for business. We have good things but are we still afraid of selling them?"

"You are right. I did trade a Song Dynasty Longquan porcelain with Boss Wang some time ago, but I have already sold that one."

"The new goods will not be delivered until five days later. Why don't you come back in five days? Then I will guarantee your satisfaction."

Five days later.

Lu Fei's eyes lit up and he secretly kept this time in his heart.

The translator explained the boss's words to the foreigner, who shook his head and spoke in English.

"No, I can't wait any longer."

"It's Earl Brandon's birthday in three days. I have to go back to China tomorrow. It's too late."

The translator turned to the shop owner and said.

"Boss, we are willing to pay more, can we deliver the goods today?"
