Chapter 207 Are you here to cause trouble?
Su Xing agreed with Xu Li and said "it's a pity", but in fact he was not just trying to please Xu Li.
She really felt a little regretful, or rather, aggrieved.
In the minds of some Chinese people, foreign brands are more upscale, and foreign products are of better quality and more presentable.
It's not just porcelain, many things become more high-end and classy once they are labeled "imported"!
Even after a few years, many domestic brands have paid more attention to publicity and their popularity has increased, but in the eyes of many people, they are still inferior to "imported products".
Some netizens followed the trend and shouted in support of domestic products online, but in reality they were still frantically buying products in foreign stores.
She still remembered that one of her college roommates in her previous life went to Japan for a vacation during the summer vacation and gave everyone in the dormitory a small gift when he came back.
What she received was a silk scarf.
My roommate said at the time: Japanese silk scarves are so exquisite and of such good quality.
But she saw a line of small words on the label: Made in China...
Of course, for some products such as skin care products and food, consumers have no choice but to trust international brands.
I hope that one day, our domestic brands can truly give consumers confidence in terms of quality, aesthetics, and taste.
Only then can our people trust and respect domestic products more...
Su Xing felt that his thoughts were too divergent, so he quickly gathered his thoughts and concentrated on writing the list.
At this moment, she heard the familiar electronic system sound in her mind!
[Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission: Actively correct some Chinese people's erroneous perceptions of Chinese porcelain, and maintain the unshakable world status of Chinese porcelain. Reward: Five days of health, 10% increase in painting talent, 10% increase in dexterity talent]
Huh? Completed another hidden mission?!
Su Xing couldn't help but look up and glance at Xu Li again.
She had a bad impression of Xu Li before, but now she likes her a lot more...
Xu Li was a little scared by Su Xing's criticism just now, and suddenly met Su Xing's gaze. She felt uneasy and her eyes were wandering, so she took two steps towards Bai Yuwei.
Bai Yuwei sighed inwardly and patted Xu Li's shoulder soothingly.
Su Xing had just finished filling out the list of all the items she wanted to mail when the female staff member took another box and placed it in front of her.
She smiled and said to Su Xing: "Little girl, you bought a lot of things, so you got a gift from us. Please accept it."
Su Xing was stunned, "Gift?"
She reached out and opened the box, and saw inside was a blue and white porcelain host cup with emerald bamboo patterns painted on it. There was a famous mark on the cup, also a work by Mr. Ren!
How can you give away works by famous artists as gifts!
Moreover, she had already bought the things, paid the money, and filled out the mailing form, and suddenly a piece of porcelain was taken out and given to her, saying it was a gift?
How could Su Xing not understand that this host cup was specially given to her by Mr. Ren!
Su Xing quickly waved his hand and said, "No, this is too expensive!"
Elder Ren came over with a large teacup in his hand and said with a smile, "Little girl, keep it. You bought several teacups from me, so it's nothing for me to give you a cup. It's rare to meet a younger generation with the same temper as you. We are destined to be together."
He pulled out a business card from the business card box next to him, handed it to Su Xing, and said, "If you really feel sorry for me, if you have any specialties from your hometown, just mail some to me when you go back."
After Su Xing heard what Mr. Ren said, she took the business card with both hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ren. I'll accept the cup and send you some special products!"
The female staff member looked at the little girl in front of her, then looked at Mr. Ren, and said "tsk tsk" twice in her heart. Mr. Ren's thoughts were so complicated...
Su Yu and others, as well as some tourists, were envious of Su Xing. The host cup was really beautiful! It was also a work of a famous artist...
Mr. Ren smiled and said to Su Xing: "When you study that major, you should have courses related to the history of porcelain. If you want to learn more about Chinese porcelain, you are welcome to come to Jingdezhen again!"
Su Xing nodded solemnly, "I will definitely come again!"
After this little episode, some tourists who were originally just strolling around the store are now ready to buy some affordable porcelain to take back for collection!
After listening to what the beautiful girl said, they felt differently when they looked at the porcelain in the store!
They are not only exquisite porcelain, but also the wisdom inherited by Chinese craftsmen for thousands of years, revealing the national pride of every Chinese...
……
It was already evening when Su Xing and his group came out of the Ancient Kiln Folk Expo Area.
We found a restaurant to have dinner first.
After the events of the afternoon, Xu Li became much quieter. She tried not to speak unless necessary and worked hard to reduce her presence.
She felt a little aggrieved. Her cousin Su Zekai was too disrespectful to her. She was embarrassed in front of so many people!
She is a guest after all!
But she didn't dare to express these grievances and dissatisfactions at the moment. She just wanted everyone to forget what happened today as soon as possible...
The next day, they went to the Ceramics Museum.
After entering the museum, Su Xing didn't stop holding his camera and just kept taking pictures!
After walking around for a while, Xu Li felt bored and wanted to leave. Seeing that everyone was walking around with Su Xing, she curled her lips secretly but didn't dare to say anything.
We spent the whole morning in the museum, and in the afternoon we visited various porcelain shops and small stalls in the city.
Some of the porcelain pendants and ornaments sold at the stalls are only a few dollars each!
Xu Li widened her eyes and said, "It's still cheaper outside! It costs hundreds of dollars in the scenic area! It's too shady!"
Su Yu couldn't help but said to her, "Sister Xu, these are machine-printed porcelain ornaments! You compare the price of these things with handmade products? Why don't you compare the quality? Touch this bracelet, you can feel the print on the surface with your hands!"
Xu Li's face darkened, "...Who are you calling Sister Xu?"
The stall owner's face was even darker than Xu Li's! He waved at the young men and women and said, "Go away! Don't delay my business if you don't buy anything!"
Really, they are just stuff that cost a few dollars, of course they are produced by assembly line machines!
Everyone knows this, but isn't it too much to shout it out like this? Were these brats sent by their peers to mess things up? !
Su Zekai quickly apologized to the stall owner on behalf of his sister, "Sorry, boss, we didn't mean anything else..."
The stall owner interrupted him impatiently, "Go, go!"
The group tactfully left the stall.
Su Zekai taught his sister, "Can you please stop speaking without restraint regardless of the occasion..."
Su Yu pouted and said unconvincedly: "Someone was the first to talk nonsense without considering the occasion..."
"Okay you!"
Su Zekai interrupted Su Yu in a stern tone. Although he also thought that Xu Li was strange, she was a guest and he couldn't let his sister "bully" others.
