Old Hu Is Outraged

Meet Old Hu at the gate with his denial ready: hear it wasn't him, ask what wasn't him, hear he didn't sell that fake Longjing, say you know, hear him swear that this time it wasn't him, ask how anyone can do such a thing, hear him call it infuriating and offer to ask around, and thank him for the trouble.
