Dialogue
- (Interaction with Mr. Dong)
- Ginger: Checking our goods out, Mr. Dong?
- Mr. Dong: Just take a look. Hey, Ginnie, did you label this wrong? This glaze is too fresh for some ancient old civilization relic, ain't it?
- Ginger: Ah. No, Mr. Dong, sir. This is a parallel import. Still the real deal — albeit preserved in pure waters, so it still looks as good as new.
- Ginger: But look at these deep yellow water stains — you just can't fake something like that, no matter how hard you try, no sir.
- Mr. Dong: Huh. Sharp eye you got there, kid. Seems I've still got much to learn from you.
- Ginger: Oh no, you're too kind! Drop by anytime, let's chat more.
Trivia
In the animation at around 15:41 of the 2.5 Special Program,[2] Ginger's antique appraisal livestream is a reference to a Chinese web influencer, 听泉赏宝 Tīngquán Shǎngbǎo, "Tingquan The Antique Appraiser", who showcases genuine antiques and debunks fake ones.
Etymology
- In Chinese, his name is made of 黄花 huánghuā, "yellow flower" and 狸 lí, "fox-like animal", normally used to refer foxes, tanukis or Lihua Cats.
- This is probably why Ye Shunguang called him Mr. Tanuki (Chinese: 狸猫先生 Límāo Xiānsheng, "Mr. Raccoon Dog," lit. "Mister+fox-like animal+cat"), mistaking him for a raccoon dog Thiren.[2]
- At the same time, Mr. Dong nicknames him as Ginnie (Chinese: 大狸子 Dà Lízi, "Big leopard cat"), once again picking up only the 狸 lí part of his name.
