3Chapter 16 You don’t even invite me for such a big thing?
From the outside, Shengshi Crafts Store looks extraordinary.
After entering, I found that the inside was even more unique.
Just entering the door is the Tang Dynasty Pavilion. The red overall structure adds to the atmosphere of the store.
It looks like a temple fair, with counters on both sides designed to look like small vendors.
In addition to selling Tang Sancai handicrafts, there are also Tang Dynasty calligraphy and paintings.
Even several researchers from the museum were amazed by the decoration inside.
"Divided according to age, everyone Lin is really unique!" Qin Laozan sighed sincerely.
He was more concerned about the paintings on the wall. He already knew that Tang Sancai was a handicraft, so he was not interested.
On the contrary, after seeing the paintings hanging on the wall, everyone was stunned!
Previously, Liu Jingfeng refused to sell the mural, but he changed hands and lent it to Lin Ran.
He did agree not to sell the murals to others, but he could put them somewhere else.
A craft store is the perfect place to display it!
Mr. Qin and others looked at the murals on the wall and couldn't help but be stunned.
He wanted to ask for the specific source, but was fooled by Lin Ran's joke.
"Those are all imitations of the painters in our workshop." Lin Ran invited Li Yuanhao over with a smile and introduced him to Mr. Qin.
Of course Li Yuanhao knew the origin of the painting and took the initiative to cover up for Lin Ran.
Mr. Qin was full of praise: "Your store is not only novel, but the venue construction is also very suitable for the theme. With these paintings... your store is really a master."
Other researchers couldn't help but admire him.
On the other side, Liu Jingfeng and his men also wore suits, looking like serious businessmen.
They overheard this conversation and couldn't help but chuckle to themselves.
Lin Ran was indeed trustworthy and helped them hide their true identities.
I was originally worried that it would be a cold show, but after entering the store, the guests all started to play on their own. Under the introduction of the store clerk, they looked at the exhibition areas one after another. Like the customers, they had a strong interest in the store.
This is more like a private museum than a store!
And it is more complete than a private museum, with things arranged in a well-proportioned manner.
Walking among the shops, you feel as if you were shopping at a temple fair in a different dynasty.
Since the interior of the store is shading, it not only ensures that the decoration on the wall will not be damaged by light, but also creates the feeling of a night market.
Walking in it, you will feel warm and peaceful.
Lin Ran had been accompanying Tang Lanxuan just now, and now they were sitting in the teahouse drinking tea. Lin Ran had also returned to the Ming Dynasty District.
He originally wanted to find Zheng Xueming, but unexpectedly he saw a rare visitor.
"Lin Ran!" Since the store was already very busy, there was no problem in shouting loudly today.
Lin Ran turned around and saw a beautiful girl greeting him.
"Yuan Qianyun?"
Lin Ran thought about seeing anyone in the store, but he never expected to see Yuan Qianyun.
Yuan Qianyun also rushed over and said with a smile: "Lin Ran, I have seen you outside, but I am not sure yet."
She looked Lin Ran up and down again and praised, "You look so handsome in this dress."
"Thank you." Lin Ran smiled and nodded, "Why are you here?"
"Please, I am also an ordinary girl. Isn't it normal to like shopping?" Yuan Qianyun replied, "What? Aren't you welcome?"
"How could that be?" Lin Ran quickly greeted him and invited Yuan Qianyun to drink tea with him.
"No need~" Yuan Qianyun was just joking with him just now, and then pretended to be coquettish and said: "It's just that you didn't tell me when you opened a store? You're too uninformed!"
"Ahem..." Lin Ran was speechless for a moment and said, "I don't know how to tell you this."
"Forget it, I forgive you." Yuan Qianyun said, "As compensation, you have to introduce your shop to me."
"Easy to say." Lin Ran smiled and arranged for the clerk to guide other customers.
He walked around with Yuan Qianyun and introduced the handicrafts in the store.
After a while, Yuan Qianyun saw the product he liked, pointed to a Ming three-color Buddha statue on the shelf in the distance and asked, "Can you show it to me?"
It is a three-color seated Bodhisattva.
The original of this seated Bodhisattva statue is preserved in a French museum.
However, Lin Ran drew its image.
Originally, I just planned to find an opportunity to replace the authentic ones in the museum and protect China's historical and cultural heritage!
However, this Buddha statue still had some flaws and could no longer be salvaged, so it was put in the shop.
Despite the dilapidation movement, people's love for Buddha statues remains as strong as ever.
The clerk behind the counter was extremely busy, but he still took the seated Buddha statue and placed it on the counter.
He is not worried about being stolen by customers, because the design of the store is to ultimately exit through the door of a Qing Dynasty pawn shop structure. Checkout is also done at the door, and they have already arranged security.
If there was anything suspicious about a customer's pocket or purse, they would stop him or her from leaving.
Lin Ran introduced Yuan Qianyun: "This is called plain three-color glaze. It started during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the glaze color no longer used red, but was mainly yellow, green, purple and white, so it is called plain three-color glaze."
"This pair of Bodhisattva statues are larger in size. They are divided into upper and lower parts and are fired separately. Does the look in your eyes make people realize the loftiness of the gods?"
"In addition, the animals on both sides of the Bodhisattva are actually its two mounts, one is a lion and the other is a raccoon."
Lin Ran introduced them in detail.
The eyes of the surrounding customers were also attracted, and Yuan Qianyun smiled and said: "Lin Ran, is there so much emphasis on making handicrafts?"
"Well, although it is a handicraft, we make it according to the specifications of the real thing." Lin Ran said, "Our shop cooperates with craftsmen from all over the country. Some of them are descendants of official kilns, and some are children of a family of craftsmen."
"These handicrafts are just from the wrong era, but they are all the work of masters, so you can rest assured."
Lin Ran's introduction instantly aroused everyone's curiosity.
Most of those who can buy goods have some knowledge.
They also lamented that not only was the decoration of this store novel, but the goods inside were also unique.
At first I thought it was just fancy marketing, but after seeing the three-color ceramics in their hands, I couldn't help but be stunned.
Among them was a young man who had taken a fancy to a calligraphy and painting.
However, the market price of that calligraphy and painting is 300 yuan.
There are similar calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls of the shop.
Although I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the words “Purely For Entertainment” were engraved on the calligraphy and painting, which made the calligraphy and painting lose its value in the market.
But if it were hung in your own home, no one would be able to see it.
He immediately decided to buy the calligraphy and painting!
Anyway, it only costs 30 yuan, one-tenth of the price, and there is no shame in being recognized.
This idea exists in most people's minds.
I like reading and playing, but this is a money-consuming hobby.
If they are just for their own collection, the handicrafts in front of them are almost the same as the real ones. They are just for self-appreciation and can definitely meet their needs!
In future generations, this is just spending a small amount of money to show off!
Consumer psychology and demand can be said to be very well understood!
While Lin Ran was still introducing the Buddha statue to Yuan Qianyun, there were customers nearby who couldn't wait.
"Madam, do you still want to buy the Buddha statue? If not, can you give it to me?"
Suddenly, a strange-sounding Mandarin came from behind!
