Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

“Daddy, we snagged a beautiful antique cup! This store is crazy, antique porcelain for only 58 euros!” A little white girl rushed over, holding up a bag in her hand, and said to Mr. Harris.

Mr. Harris also loves children. When he saw his child arrive, he immediately responded, "Oh, Lily, what antique cup?"

“It was sold in the antique shop next to the museum. A lot of people were scrambling to buy it. There was a limit of one hundred per person, and I managed to snag one.” Lily proudly pulled the box out of the crimson paper bag with a gold badge.

She handed the box to Mr. Harris, gesturing for him to open it.

Mr. Harris obediently took out a small, thin-walled white porcelain cup with bamboo-woven enamel trim from a box lined with silk.

These small teacups are tiny, fitting comfortably between an adult's fingers; you can vaguely see the light shining through from the other side.

The little girl even turned on her phone's flashlight to illuminate the inside of the cup, exclaiming, "Daddy, look! This porcelain is even thinner than the ones we have in our collection!" The milky light shone through the inside of the cup, making the bamboo weaving on the outside of the cup appear even more exquisite.

Xiaomeng immediately recognized it as the cheapest promotional item in their museum shop and quickly explained, "Hi, darling, our museum shop doesn't sell antiques."

"Your family's museum?" The little girl looked at Xiaomeng in surprise, her mouth agape at her appearance. "Are you fairies who opened this shop?"

"Hehehe, your little mouth is so sweet." Xiaomeng chuckled.

The little girl's hand had already touched the embroidery on her waist. "What a beautiful little carp!"

Xiaomeng quickly stepped aside, "Darling, the one you bought is just a basic everyday teacup, please don't misunderstand."

Harris touched the porcelain inside. "My God, is such thin porcelain really suitable for everyday use?"

"Yes, the characteristic of this white porcelain is that it is as thin as an eggshell."

"So, this kind of porcelain is just considered very ordinary porcelain in your country? Do ordinary people like you use such high-quality things on a daily basis?" Harris was a little surprised by Dongda's extravagance.

"No, most people only use cups that cost a few dollars. Only tea enthusiasts would buy such porcelain cups. It's a small luxury item, I suppose," Xiaomeng said honestly.

"Oh, is it considered a luxury item where you live? That's good. I thought ordinary people like you used such nice things."

"Actually, this is nothing special; it's something that any ordinary person can buy if they want to."

“I can understand that. Even Hermès sells pony pendants for tens of euros, but that doesn’t change the fact that they are luxury goods.”

"Ah, yes, that's exactly what I mean."

"Is this really not an antique? Such thin porcelain isn't an antique? It's not even a few decades old?"

"Yes, it was made by modern artisans, and it was produced at most two or three years ago."

"Ah, I thought such exquisite porcelain was an antique." Lily looked disappointed.

This kid doesn't even realize that he can buy a museum-quality antique for just a few dozen yuan? What a pipe dream!

Xiaomeng quickly changed her attention, "Actually, you should prefer the other one. It's also made with bamboo-woven porcelain, but it has a bamboo forest and panda pattern inside. Didn't you see that one, Lily?"

"I saw it, but it's a bit expensive, and the cup wasn't on sale. I don't have enough allowance. Daddy, can you buy me one?"

Harris did not refuse his daughter's request and immediately followed her to the store next door.

Xiaomeng also took the opportunity to go and check out the museum shop's business.

Upon entering, Xiaomeng noticed that the place was bustling with activity, almost to the point of being packed with people, a rather unusual sight.

This shop has a lot of porcelain and fragile items. With so many people, we don't want anything to break, or we'll lose money.

Fortunately, the display cases, like those in formal museums, use professional museum glass, which is not only anti-reflective but also strong enough to be bulletproof. Even if the store is crowded, you don't have to worry about things being broken by people.

Although there are many young people here, because the items are relatively expensive, there are more people looking than buying.

Mr. Harris and his daughter squeezed in front of a display case. "Daddy, look, this is it. It has a panda pattern on it and a bamboo wrapping. It's a set of two, four hundred euros a set."

Mr. Harris also likes pandas, and since he has plenty of money, he bought two sets.

Because his family has four members, each person needs one.

Seeing that he spent quite a lot in her shop, Xiaomeng gave him a membership card and allowed him to redeem points for a gilded white porcelain goldfish cup.

This is a more luxurious cup. Although most Chinese people might find it a bit ostentatious, it's just right for foreigners.

Both Harris and his daughter were captivated by this cup.

The family returned the next day and spent two thousand euros to buy three more different gilded goldfish white porcelain cups.

They bought out all the stock of the same type of item in the store.

Xiaomeng's shop doesn't have much stock; there are only two or three items in a set, and once they're sold out, they're gone. She says that domestic artisans only produce a few items a year. If you want one, you have to wait; you'll have to queue for several months.

Fortunately, Chinese porcelain comes in many varieties, with a wide range of amazing types emerging one after another.

After selling the gilded goldfish cup, she also had painted cups depicting lush grass and warbling birds, hand-painted hydrangea cups, cherry blossom pink glaze cups, exquisite porcelain, and celadon carved porcelain, not even counting the fine porcelains from Ru, Ding, and Jun kilns. She just rotated them to show off, changing the type every now and then, always managing to give foreigners a little bit of a shock.
