Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

In Cheng Jianjun's small workshop, Banggeng is waiting.

After a while, Cheng Jianjun took out a big vase.

Although Banggeng has been helping Cheng Jianjun sell fake goods during this period, he has also developed a keen eye and can tell at a glance that the quality of this bottle is extremely high.

"Boss, this level is very high. I'm afraid no one can see it."

Cheng Jianjun looked at the vase proudly.

"This is my best work. I put a lot of effort into it."

Bang Geng assured.

"Don't worry, boss. I will definitely help you sell it at a good price."

Cheng Jianjun smiled.

"The price is negotiable, but I want you to help me sell it to a designated person, even if I don't want any money."

Bang Geng looked at Cheng Jianjun in surprise.

"No money? What does that mean, boss?"

Cheng Jianjun nodded.

"I'll give you as much as you want, but you have to sell it to the person I designate."

Bang Geng thought about it.

"can."

So Cheng Jianjun took Banggeng and followed Mr. Guo who lived in the same hospital for two days. Cheng Jianjun wanted Mr. Guo to show it to Han Chunming to see if Han Chunming could tell whether it was real or not.

After Banggeng recognized the people, he took Yi Zhonghai to practice several times until the fifth day.

Banggeng was squatting on the side of the road, on the path that Uncle Guo had to pass, with a box in front of him. Yi Zhonghai was arguing with Banggeng.

"Kid, if you want to sell something, you should let me see what it looks like and how much it is worth. Why don't you let me see it now?"

Bang Geng said angrily.

"What's there to see? If you don't buy anything, it's useless to see it. Besides, you can't afford it."

The quarrel here instantly attracted Uncle Guo.

Uncle Guo walked over curiously.

"what happened?"

Yi Zhonghai grabbed Uncle Guo.

"Brother, please judge for yourself. This child said he wanted to sell something. I felt sorry for him because his hair was too long and he didn't have money to cut it, so I kindly offered to buy him something. But he refused to let me see it and said I couldn't afford it. How can this be justified?"

Uncle Guo said immediately.

"Yes, you sell things and he buys things. No matter whether he can afford it or not, you always have to show it to others. This is considered fraud."

Banggeng rolled up his sleeves.

"What is fraud? Who did I defraud?"

Uncle Guo retreated again and again.

"Boy, don't act tough. We are both older, but you may not have a chance of winning if it's two against one."

Banggeng's eyes were a little evasive, which was noticed by Grandpa Guo. Grandpa Guo thought Banggeng was scared and quickly said something.

"We're not stealing your stuff. It won't hurt to look at it. If it's really suitable, maybe he'll buy it."

Yi Zhonghai nodded repeatedly.

"Yeah, maybe I'll buy it. I'm still young and don't know how to do business."

Uncle Guo immediately tried to smooth things over.

"He's just a kid, please bear with me."

Banggeng looked at the two people who sang in unison, and was actually ecstatic in his heart, so he acted as if it was difficult.

"Okay, I'll open your eyes, old men."

After saying that, Banggeng opened the box and stood the vase up.

Yi Zhonghai and Uncle Guo both looked at the vase in shock. Yi Zhonghai even reached out to touch it. Although he knew it was fake, it was the first time that Yi Zhonghai had seen such a beautiful vase. This was not an act.

Bang Geng quickly slapped away the hand that Yi Zhonghai extended.

"You can only look, you can't touch."

Yi Zhonghai withdrew his hand embarrassedly.

Uncle Guo also wanted to reach out his hand, but when he saw Yi Zhonghai being beaten, he retracted his hand, but now his eyes were on the vase.

This will be a proud statement.

"How about it, old man? Can you afford it?"

Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes and asked the question on behalf of Uncle Guo.

"Who knows if it's real or not? What if yours is fake?"

Banggeng took out the certificate from his bag as if he was angry.

"See? The certificate for this vase has been tested by a specialized agency. It can't fool anyone. I tell you, I took this out from home. Now people are looking for me everywhere at home. If I wasn't afraid of being caught, I would have put it up for auction a long time ago. How could I have waited until now?"

When Uncle Guo heard this, he thought, isn’t this just picking up a bargain?

"How much is this vase of yours?"

Banggeng held up three fingers.

"Thirty thousand, no bargaining."

Yi Zhonghai looked conflicted.

"Can it be cheaper? I can't afford thirty thousand, but I really want it."

When Banggeng heard this, he immediately put away the bottle and then drove them away like flies.

"Come on, go on, go somewhere cooler, why are you teasing me when you have no money?"

Yi Zhonghai immediately pulled Uncle Guo aside.

"Brother, this doesn't look fake, does it?"

Uncle Guo nodded.

Yi Zhonghai continued.

"Brother, how about this? We each pay half, and when the auction is over, we'll each pay half. How do you think?"

Uncle Guo thought about it and immediately shook his head.

"No, you don't have any money, so don't fight, okay?"

After saying that, he ignored Yi Zhonghai and walked to Bang Geng.

"Little brother, don't sell this to anyone else. Wait here for me. I'll go back and get the money and bring it to you in a while. How about that?"

Bang Geng looked incredulous.

"Is this true? Are you kidding me?"

Uncle Guo said seriously.

"I was serious."

Yi Zhonghai quickly stood up.

"Why are you like this? This is the one I saw first."

Uncle Guo said proudly.

"If you like it, just buy it with money. I'm not stopping you from buying it."

Yi Zhonghai was furious.

"You, you, you are such a piece of shit. If I can't buy it, no one else can."

Bang Geng was not polite and kicked him.

"Old man, you dare to interfere with my business, do you want to live?"

Yi Zhonghai seems to be very afraid of Banggeng.

"You little bastard, you actually bully someone who comes here. Just wait for me."

After saying that, he ran away. Anyone could see that he was scared out of his wits.

When Mr. Guo saw that he no longer had any competitors, he instantly calmed down.

"I'll go back and get the money now, wait for me."

Bangge nodded.

"Okay, I'll wait for you for an hour. If you don't come in an hour, I'll leave."

Uncle Guo started running, shouting as he ran.

"An hour, wait for me."

Uncle Guo ran all the way home and started rummaging through the drawers and cabinets at home looking for money and passbooks. In the end, he even had a big quarrel with Aunt Guo.

However, Aunt Guo couldn't stop Uncle Guo, so she hurriedly withdrew the money and collected 30,000 yuan, which was almost all of Uncle Guo's belongings.

I finally got there and was relieved to find the stick was still there.

"Here, thirty thousand, a little."

Banggeng took the money and counted it carefully. Grandpa Guo also opened the box, picked up the bottle and looked at it carefully again and again. He put it down only after he made sure that nothing was wrong.

After counting the money, Banggeng took out the certificate and put it in Uncle Guo's box.

"Here, sir, I didn't expect you to be so talented. I was just shortsighted. Take the certificate and you can go to the auction anytime."

Uncle Guo happily closed the box and held it in his hands, taking every step carefully for fear of dropping it.
