Chapter 151 [151] This World Is Too Small
"Master, these are the guests I brought here."
Tang Feng didn't look like he was taking credit for anything, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
Zhang Jicheng opened his mouth, his surprise was evident in his words.
Yayuan's business has always been mediocre because it doesn't have a good source of goods and there is competition from Shengdingxuan across the street.
It has never received so many customers at the same time.
Forty or fifty people squeezed in, and the store was immediately packed.
How did his precious apprentice do it?
Before he asked, those people had already rushed to give explanations.
"Master Tang just showed off his prowess in the antique street. He spent 8,000 yuan and found a calligraphy by Zhang Daqian. His eyesight is unparalleled."
"Yes, that's a painting within a painting. I don't know how Master Tang saw that there was a calligraphy hidden in the painting."
"We believe that with Master Tang's eyesight, Yayuan's things must be trustworthy."
"That's right. With a master like Master Tang in charge, Yayuan will be my first choice for buying antiques in the future..."
Hearing everyone's chatter, Zhang Jicheng roughly understood it.
It seemed that his beloved apprentice had become popular in the antique street, which attracted so many customers to the store.
He really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
He was so famous in the antique business, but he couldn't bring too many customers to Yayuan.
And his apprentice just went to the antique street casually, and the store was full of customers.
Even if only one-tenth of these people bought something, today's turnover would be very considerable.
"Welcome, welcome. Everyone, feel free to look around." He immediately reacted and hurriedly asked several staff members in the store to help greet them.
Then he looked at Tang Feng with a sullen face, "Follow me."
After that, he entered the back hall first.
Tang Feng didn't understand, but followed him.
"Where have you been these two days?" As soon as he entered the back hall, Zhang Jicheng put on the majesty of a master and stared at him unhappily.
"I have something to deal with these two days." Tang Feng smiled awkwardly.
"You still have the face to smile?" Zhang Jicheng saw his playful smile and became more and more angry. "You just came to the store and there are still many things to learn. How can you fish for three days and dry the net for two days?"
"For example?" Tang Feng rubbed his nose and asked back.
"For example..."
Zhang Jicheng was speechless for a while.
He really didn't know what Tang Feng still needed to learn.
The rules of the antique business? He learned it on the first day.
The ability to identify antiques? He can pick up a big bargain after going to the antique street.
The skills of entertaining guests? They can easily attract huge traffic to the store.
So what else do you need to learn?
"Okay, Master, calm down. I will try to come to the store more often in the future. Even if I can't come due to something, I will definitely notify you in advance. Is that okay?"
Tang Feng gave him a way out and personally made him a cup of tea.
Zhang Jicheng then nodded, "Master doesn't want to see you waste such a good talent in vain, do you understand?"
"Understand, understand." Tang Feng agreed.
Zhang Jicheng drank tea for a while and suddenly thought of something, "I heard that Mr. Shen's Lingxiuju was robbed last night. We have to pay attention to it at Yayuan. When closing time, put all valuables in the safe, which is safer."
Tang Feng was stunned, "Lingxiuju was robbed? Did something get lost?"
Zhang Jicheng shook his head, "I heard that nothing was lost, which is a bit strange. These people seemed to be looking for something, but they didn't find it, and then they just left."
Tang Feng immediately took it seriously.
It is estimated that Wang Xiaodao's gang has started to act.
But Boss Shen has already sold the bracelet to Qin Yanan in advance, so these people must have come up empty-handed.
But they will not give up and will continue to investigate, and it is very likely that they will find them.
It seems that I have to tell Qin Yanan first that if she can avoid coming to the store during this period, she should try not to come.
"By the way, there will be a guest coming for appraisal later, you go to receive him." After Zhang Jicheng finished talking about Lingxiuju, he suddenly remembered something.
"I go to receive him?" Tang Feng was a little surprised.
"Yes, it can be regarded as a test for you. If you can pass it smoothly this time, your master can let go and hand over Yayuan to you." Zhang Jicheng said earnestly.
"Then I'd better not pass it. I want my master to stay in the store for a while longer." Tang Feng was a little sad.
"You stinky boy, you still want to continue to be a hands-off boss, right?" Zhang Jicheng immediately laughed and scolded.
Just as the two were talking and laughing, a staff member hurried in to report, "Master Zhang, there is a lady outside who wants you to help with the appraisal. She has already made an appointment."
Zhang Jicheng turned his head and looked at Tang Feng, "The person is here, you go to receive her."
Tang Feng had no choice but to get up and walk out.
"Wait a minute." Zhang Jicheng suddenly called him.
"Do you have any other instructions?" Tang Feng stopped and looked at him.
"Let me see the leak you just found." Zhang Jicheng pointed to the calligraphy in his hand.
"Okay, if you have time, you can help me mount it." Tang Feng knew that his master was not only very strong in appraisal, but also very good at mounting calligraphy and paintings.
"Go, you really treat your master as a slave?" Zhang Jicheng glared at him unhappily, and then carefully admired the calligraphy.
It was indeed an authentic work of Zhang Daqian.
Being able to pick up such a big bargain, in addition to strength, luck is also not to be underestimated.
It seems that this apprentice of his has a great opportunity.
The hall is still bustling with people at this time. Several staff members are used to being idle, and suddenly they are busy and a little flustered.
As soon as Tang Feng walked out of the back hall, he found the customer that the master mentioned in the crowd.
Because she is too eye-catching.
No matter how many people are around, she is always the one who stands out from the crowd.
"Xinling?"
When he saw the girl, he was a little surprised.
The guest that the master mentioned turned out to be Xu Xinling.
It must be said that this world is really too small.
