Chapter 169 The Gorgeous Transformation of a Toothpick
The long gown worn by the young man reminded Xu Da of the old days, and he felt a lot of emotions in his heart. It is rare to see anyone wearing such a long gown now, and it is even rarer for young people to wear it.Cough~ By the way, even an old man like himself doesn't wear this kind of gown anymore.

Xu Da looked at the young man with a cute and immature "apple round face" in front of him. Although he wore old-fashioned clothes, his appearance was unexpectedly very friendly. He was probably in his early twenties. This kid... Unconsciously, he softened his usual blunt tone and asked,
"I'm the owner of this store, young man, what do you want from me?"

When Ouyang Lie saw an elderly person walking over, he immediately straightened his back, bowed his head respectfully and saluted,

"Hello, junior, my name is Ouyang Lie. May I ask, what's your name as the shopkeeper?"

puff~
Xu Yunhan couldn't help laughing out of the young man's "old antique" style like a newly unearthed cultural relic. He pulled A Mo beside him to cover himself who couldn't help laughing, and took several breaths to calm down the laughter. .

Xu Da glanced at Xu Yunhan, didn't say anything, then waved to Ouyang Lie, smiled and said,
"It's rare to see a young man like you. Few people continue to follow the traditional etiquette. Even an old man like me has almost forgotten those etiquettes. Ouyang Lie, right? Come sit down here and talk."

Ouyang Lie didn't seem to hear Xu Yunhan's laughter, or didn't mind at all.He just kept looking straight at Xu Da who was talking with him, and nodded to express his gratitude to the elder for his invitation, then waved his clothes and sat down quietly.

"Tea, please." Xu Yunhan asked Ah Mo to sit down as well, and then poured them a cup of tea one by one. She also felt embarrassed when she laughed so impolitely just now.

Both Xu Da and Ah Mo took the teacups very naturally, while Ouyang Lie stood up slightly calmly, took the teacups with both hands very respectfully, and thanked them.

Xu Yunhan, who was shocked by Ouyang Lie's high standard of etiquette, was stunned before replying that you are welcome, but she couldn't help complaining in her heart, where did this "old man" come from, could it be from time travel? How can modern people, especially modern young people, be like this?

After placing the tea set, Xu Yunhan sat down next to Ah Mo, secretly looked at Ouyang Lie, curious about his age.Could it be that the man named Ouyang Lie in front of him has an immature face, but he is actually in his 40s or [-]s?
Otherwise, it would be hard to believe that there would be such an old-fashioned young man!

Ouyang Lie took the teacup and didn't drink it in a hurry, but looked at it first, smelled it, and took a sip.
"The buds are plump, the velvet is exposed, and the color is bright. When brewing, the buds are straight and erect, and the tongue contains pearls. Counting and counting, it is the top grade Junshan Silver Needle."

"Haha, yes, Junshan Yinzhen, I found it from an old friend a few days ago. You are very good, it seems that at least you know tea." Xu Da admired him more and more, and his usually serious expression rarely became gentle and friendly. , of course, not forgetting educational matters at the moment,
"Xiao Han, you have a lot to learn. Chinese tea culture is a tradition worth learning about. The treasure left by the ancestors, although everyone is not required to continue to abide by it, at least you should know it."

Xu Yunhan's face straightened, and he replied seriously, "Well, I will study hard."

Regarding learning, Uncle Xu has always been strict. First of all, this attitude must be correct.Therefore, when she also mentioned study, she did not dare to muddle along.

"Ouyang Lie, you should be very young, aren't you 20 years old?" Xu Da asked, despite his old-fashioned demeanor, he still looks like a child.

It seemed that he was not much older than his own son, Xu Da secretly guessed.

"I'm 21 years old this year." Ouyang Lie gently put the teacup back on the table and replied, "I'm here today to apply for a shop assistant."

"Oh? Young man, the clerk in this antique shop is not that simple. Have you been in this business before?"

If you only look at his age, Xu Da definitely has no confidence in such a young child.But because Ouyang Lie has always followed the traditional etiquette, he still has expectations for Ouyang Lie, so the possibility of recruiting him as a shop assistant was not completely denied in the words.

Xu Da's questioning tone will not cause Ouyang Lie's dissatisfaction. If he can't bear this grievance, then he should be a shop assistant and just leave. Besides, the employer must first understand the employees who may be recruited. Ouyang Lie still replied in the same stern way:
"Well, my father is in this business, so I have been in touch with antiques since I was very young. Later, the business at home failed, so I came out to help people look after the store. But I have always been in Nanjing before, and I just moved here recently. BJ’s, so I need to change to a new owner. I happened to see the recruitment information posted on the door of the store when I was shopping here today, so I wanted to give it a try.”

It turned out to be the origin of family education, maybe his ancestors had produced scholars, such as Tanhua Zhuangyuan Society, otherwise how could he teach such a person, Xu Yunhan thought to himself.

After listening to Ouyang Lie's words, Xu Da was silent for a while, looking thoughtful, this child seems to be from a family, his surname is Ouyang, but after thinking about it for a while, he really couldn't think of a family with the surname Ouyang in Nanjing.Xu Da looked at Ouyang Lie suspiciously, could it be that the family has declined?

It's about the privacy of other people's family affairs, so Xu Da couldn't keep asking, so he didn't think too much about it. Since he was here to apply for a shop assistant, he should pay more attention to his relevant abilities and accomplishments.
"Okay, I won't ask any more questions. Talking about it is the most useless thing in this line of work. I'm going to fetch a few things. You can take a look and talk about it."

All skills and abilities can only be better reflected by practice.After finishing speaking, Xu Da instructed Xu Yunhan to greet the guests, and went to get the items needed to test his level later.

In the end, Xu Da took out three things, one was true, the other was false, and the other was half true. Of course, the result of the test was not only to determine its authenticity, but more importantly, to state the basis for the judgment. This was the most difficult thing.

Xu Yunhan, who has the ability to cheat, can only judge the authenticity now, but if she were to tell one, two, three, she would definitely give up directly.

As a result, this 21-year-old young man actually did it. Not only was the authenticity judgment correct, but the basis for the judgment was clear, well-organized and very convincing.

As a clerk in an antique shop, super persuasive power is absolutely indispensable. If you want customers to spend money to buy things, you must be able to speak eloquently and speak to the customer's heart.Then willingly paying for it is the most arrogant salesman.

At this time, whether the thing is true or not is relatively unimportant. A good antique shop clerk is one who can fool around and make up stories about its origin.

There is a joke in the antique industry that goes like this.

It is said that there is an antique shop that is looking for a salesperson. The advertisement has been out for more than a month, and there are many applicants, but none of them apply.

??? Two young people came here one day, and one of them arrived for more than five minutes first. As soon as he entered the store, the boss picked up a small piece of sawdust from the ground, put it on the red silk mat, and asked the young man :"what is this?"

??? The young man froze for a moment, and replied, "It's a piece of sawdust."

??? The boss shook his head, threw the sawdust in the red silk cushion back to the ground, and said, "Young man, you were not admitted."

??? The young man was a little puzzled, but he couldn't help it if someone else was the boss. Just as he was about to leave, another applicant walked in, so he stopped in his tracks, wanting to see how that person would answer.

??? Sure enough, the boss still did the same trick, picked up the sawdust thrown on the ground, put it on the red silk cushion with great care, and asked the young man who had just entered the door: "Can you tell which is this?" what?"

???The young man was also taken aback when he heard the words, but then he smiled and said, "This is the toothpick that Lafayette Cixi once used."

??? "Great, you can start working now." The boss was overjoyed, and immediately made a decision to hire the later young man.And the previous one hid his face resentfully and left.
