After a while, Xu Qingjie walked into He Ren's office cursing.
"Insensitive, you still want to throw money at me."
He Ren was delighted, "Master Xu, I am a friend of the British Ambassador."
"Friends of farts, I just called the British ambassador, they know farts!"
He Ren called him a good guy. Does Xu Qingjie know the ambassador?
But soon He Ren felt something was wrong, "According to you, they are liars?"
Fang Mingxuan laughed loudly, "You must be a liar. Let's not talk about whether the Charlotte Brontë Association has this so-called chief expert. Even if there is, they will be here just after you get off the plane. Why fly from London to Beijing? Is Beijing still fast?”
He Ren slapped his forehead. He was careless. He was confused by a lot of phone calls yesterday. His brain was almost numb. He didn't think about it at all. He was almost fooled by two foreign scammers...
Xu Qingjie didn't quite understand, "Aren't they afraid of cheating? Can't we just make a phone call and find out?"
Fang Mingxuan rolled his eyes, "How many people can call the British ambassador directly? How can I get verification?"
"Can you call the Charlotte Bronte Society?"
"Do you know the phone number of the Charlotte Brontë Association? I can't even tell if they have an office."
He Ren changed the subject at the right time, "Mr. Fang, Mr. Xu, you two must have other things to do when you come here, right?"
"I came to Beijing on business, and I asked you to buy this clock..." Before Fang Mingxuan finished speaking, his cell phone rang. He shook it and stood up to leave, "I'm leaving now, see you later."
He Ren was startled, but Fang Mingxuan was free and easy. He glanced at Xu Qingjie again, "You're here to buy autographs too, right?"
"How can I? I'm here specifically to treat you to dinner."
He Ren looked wary, "You? Are you here to treat me to dinner? Do you think I believe it or not?"
"Hahaha." Xu Qingjie laughed three times awkwardly, "Actually, there is one more little thing."
"What do you think."
"I have a friend who says there is something good. I don't know any masters here, so I just want you to help me take a look."
"Good stuff? How good is it?"
Xu Qingjie Xiaoxiong spread his hands, "I don't know, he just said that someone wants to sell some antique jades, and I just want to buy some jades to give away. I want you to help me take a look and don't buy fakes."
He Ren was a little strange, "When you buy Charlotte Bronte's autographed letter, you give it away, but when you buy jade, you still give it away. You are a rich second generation, why do you have to curry favor with so many people in one day?"
Xu Qingjie was unhappy, "What does it mean to please others? I gave it to my girlfriend. This is called love. Do you understand?"
"Your girlfriend has a wide range of interests. She likes both foreign writers and ancient jade."
Xu Qingjie curled his lips, "Who told you they were the same person?"
"Well……"
He Ren was speechless. He felt as if he had lost. He really didn't understand the happiness of the rich second generation...
Feeling humiliated, He Ren decided to give Xu Qingjie a big meal, "Just wait, I'll call Zhang Nuo and Liu Fei to eat you big dog to death."
Xu Qingjie was speechless, "How much can you eat..."
…
He Ren and Xu Qingjie were going to see things together in the evening, and it was not convenient to live broadcast, so he turned on the live broadcast while eating.
As soon as they arrived, they saw a man wearing a Tang suit with at least four or five strings on his body. He was holding a walnut in his left hand and a bird stand in his right hand. However, it was not the usual tin mouth, jiaozui, sycamore or the like. bird, but a yellow finch.
He Ren almost laughed out loud when he saw it. How could anyone stand like a bird or an oriole? Isn't this causing trouble?
The man in Tang suit didn't care about this. He dusted off the non-existent dust on his body, and then said to another person, "Old Beijing has three treasures when going out, bracelets, walnuts, and everyone's birds. Today I have a friend to invite Third Master is having dinner, and Third Master is going to take his family to try the authentic old Beijing Shabu Shabu, hey, that’s authentic.”
Only then did He Ren see clearly that this third master was filming short videos. There are too many people shooting short videos now. When there are more people, there are not so many things to shoot, so you can shoot anything.
The "authentic" people of old Beijing can also be considered a branch. In the past two years, more and more "old Beijingers" have specially walked this track. They don't care whether it's embarrassing or not. If someone sees it, they will take pictures.
But basically there are not many people who know the business. Just like this guy who went out to the streets to lead the oriole, he definitely belongs to the group who don’t know the business.
Although there has always been a saying about caged birds in old Beijing, the classification is actually quite strict.
For example, cages are mainly used for viewing and listening to music. Most of the birds raised are singing birds, usually thrush, lark, red bird, indigo-chin, and oriole.
These birds sing hundreds of thousands of times, and their sounds are pleasant to the ear. Most of them are also raised in cages, and bird keepers enjoy walking the birds in the cage.
Bird racking means raising birds on a rack, also called "living the rack".
The most common one is the sycamore bird. The trained sycamore bird can perform various stunts such as playing bullets, picking locks, holding flags, and opening boxes. Those who can only eat food can just look at it, it is just a photo taken to create a character.
When Liu Fei saw someone filming a short video, he quickly turned the camera aside. This was the rule.
However, many treasure friends also saw the oriole.
"Holy crap, is there really someone taking a bird to the street?"
"Didn't the Qing Dynasty die early? Where did the remnants come from?"
"They are not necessarily remnants. They just make money by taking pictures and bringing goods along with them."
It's never a good thing to talk about colleagues behind their backs. He Ren coughed and said, "Speaking of bringing goods, I have already found someone to order a batch of folding fans made of Merlot and hyacinth bamboo. Friends who like them can pre-order them. It doesn't matter if you don't like them. There are also various landscape plaques, pendants, necklaces, etc. in the store. Everyone is welcome to buy..."
The treasure friends were instantly brought into rhythm, and the barrage turned into——
“I bought two boxes and my kids love them.”
"Not paid, looking forward to shipping."
“Can it be used on sensitive skin?”
He Ren breathed a sigh of relief, there is a group of friends who like to criticize the anchor, it is easy to set the pace!
The shot of Third Master getting out of the car must have passed. He had already lifted his legs up the steps. There was a middle-aged man standing at the door of the hotel. As soon as he saw Third Master coming, he immediately stretched out his hand and held Third Master's hand warmly, "Third Master You are here, your friends are waiting for you upstairs."
The third master nodded slightly, with a constipated expression on his face, "Okay."
"Make a pot for Third Master."
Although it was difficult, He Ren still did it, but he didn't expect that Xu Qingjie came over at some time, accompanied by a tall beauty who looked a bit like a banned female star, but the one next to Xu Qingjie , but much younger.
Xu Qingjie curled his lips and said, "I just said to eat privately cooked food. You insist on eating hot-boiled pork. Who are these people? Isn't it too unreliable?"
He Ren sighed, the rich second generation likes to show off, just complain if you want, why are you shouting so loudly?
No, the third master also heard Xu Qingjie's complaints and became angry. He immediately turned around and walked towards Xu Qingjie angrily.
"Who are you talking about?"
