Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Painting Within a Painting

On Sunday morning, after breakfast, I drove with my younger brother to find a renovation company, because Lin Wen also has a two-bedroom house here, which was demolished and assigned to him, Lin Wen wants to decorate the house, and he can live when he comes back in the future, so he doesn't have to toss his parents all the time. The extra 200,000 cash was reserved for decoration, this house had always been rented out before, and it just expired a few days ago, Lin Wen specially told his father to vacate the house and keep it after the renovation was completed.

After taking the people from the decoration company to the house, he gave an explanation according to his intentions, paid 100,000 yuan in cash, and gave his younger brother 100,000 yuan to keep to buy some other items, and the decoration was handed over to Lin Jun.

At noon, Lin Wen and his son went to Jincheng to return. Because Lin Feng's grandfather called yesterday and said that he hadn't seen the child for a week, could he send him to live for a day on Sunday, Lin Wen immediately agreed, and sent Lin Feng back to his mother when he returned to Jincheng.

There was nothing to do on his own, and Lin Wen remembered a place - "Broken Market".

This is a characteristic of Jincheng, the countryside is called "rushing to the market", this developed coastal city of course there is no rural market, but there is a "thrift market", this is the official name, all the people are called "tattered market", the market sells everything, there are old clothes, old household appliances, old tools, old mobile phones, old books and newspapers, etc., everything is used to sell, all kinds of things, but not all old, there are still a lot of new things. At the beginning, it was probably because it was all about selling old things, but it gradually developed into a large market with complete goods.

Now it's different, many vendors have fixed stalls in the market, and they sell new things, but they are much cheaper than those in the mall, and as for the quality, the big brands can't be sold here, the place is not right, and the people who need it are not right.

Lin Wen found a hotel in front of the hotel, parked the car there, there was still a distance of 1,800 meters from the "tattered market", and there was no place to park the car when it was close, so it was better to walk. There are a lot of people in the market, there are a lot of people who have nothing to do and they like to visit the "tattered market", especially some older old men and old ladies, just come out to slip around, buy cheap things, and play when you don't have a photo, and there is nothing to do at home left and right, so there are a lot of people every Saturday and Sunday, and it is very lively.

Lin Wen walked around and looked at it, and the things here were dazzling. Some stalls specialize in selling mobile phone chargers, and I don't know where I got all kinds of old chargers. There are a few very old teapots on the stall, Lin Wen took a look, all of them are old, the outer layer is very bright, it really looks like pulp, buy a new fifty yuan, buy this old one for three or five hundred yuan. Walked most of the street, there is no fancy thing, came to the place where tea is sold, there is a stall with hemp bags of tea, made a paper shell with "new green tea 70 yuan a catty", Lin Wen took a look, not to mention, it is really this year's new tea, sold so cheap? I thought it would not be a good tea, smelled the taste is OK, looked at it, it turned out to be old tea rolls, but this kind of tea has another taste, and it is resistant to brewing, and it has a taste for six or seven bubbles. Since you came once, don't go back empty-handed, buy 50 yuan of tea and go home to taste it.

Lin Wen took the tea leaves and continued to shop.

I came to the place where used books are sold, and there are so many kinds of books, including elementary school textbooks, workbooks, famous books, and recipes...... There is a copy of one yuan, and there is a copy of two yuan...... There are even fans, boss, this is about to go through the winter, you still sell fans, and a bunch of broken paintings, I don't know where they all came from, it's really not easy to get so all, it won't be picked up from a few scrap yards, right?

Lin Wen stood there and looked at it, and there were still seven or eight paintings piled up on the side, but the paintings were not opened, and they were all rolled up and piled there. Suddenly, he inadvertently swept an old painting, still framed with a scroll, but the wooden shaft was broken, the edges were damaged, and the paper was yellow and slightly thicker. But Lin Wen seemed to have discovered a new world, because he saw that this painting was two pieces glued together, and there was a painting under the painting, Lin Wen forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, although the buddy didn't know how to paint, but this painting must be ordinary, otherwise who would be idle and bother to make a picture-in-picture?

"Boss, how do you sell this painting?"

"Which one do you want?"

"I want to buy two or three paintings, hang them on the façade, hehe, open them and pick a few!" Lin Wen asked, pointing to the paintings there.

The owner of the practice stall was in his forties, like a big smoker, and said with a weak look: "You can pick it yourself." ”

Damn, I'm just waiting for you!

Lin Wen picked up one slowly, opened it and saw that it was a galloping picture of ten thousand horses, and at first glance, it was printed in large quantities by the printing house.

"This horse is very good-looking, this one is okay. ”

He carefully picked up the picture with the broken scroll, opened it lightly, and saw that it was four women wearing cheongsam, but this woman was too ugly, and the person who painted this painting must have no artistic cells, but Lin Wen pretended to say, "It's not bad to hang these women on the wall and look at them every day." ”

Lin Wen then picked up a few and picked out another plum blossom picture.

"Boss, more money for one piece, I'll buy three for a discount!"

Don't look at this person like a big smoker, when Lin Wen picked a painting, he actually kept aiming at it with his eyes, and he knew what kind of painting he had picked!

"One hundred, three hundred dollars. ”

"Dude, it's too ruthless, this painting is definitely not worth a hundred, let's be cheaper. While bargaining, Lin Wen deliberately put back the galloping picture of ten thousand horses.

"Well, one 90, three 270. ”

"Dude, you do a good job, okay, it's 270!" Lin Wen picked up the picture of ten thousand horses galloping again, and then took out three hundred yuan to the boss, after finding the money, he carefully picked up the painting and hurried away, he was not in the mood to go shopping anymore, the painting was already in hand, it was the painting with four ugly women, this is a picture-in-picture.
