Chapter 9 Painting a Tiger Like a Cat
"Boss Fang is here, it's okay, I'm talking to Brother Niu, we are very close to each other. Yang Zhigang said.
"Brother Niu, oh, Mr. Yang, this is my nephew, I have to call you uncle, or I won't take advantage of you, hehe." Boss Fang smiled bitterly.
"Hey, let's talk about it first and then don't change it, you two talk about it alone. Brother Niu has a very thorough understanding of the tea ceremony, at a young age, it's not simple, it's not simple. Yang Zhigang did not hesitate to praise him.
"Hey, Brother Yang, you praised it falsely. I, this is the first time I have drunk this kung fu tea, and when I met you, I knew what it means to be shallow on paper. I hurriedly accosted.
"Little cow, you are stronger than the big one, this kid knows how to climb along the pole, usually praise him twice, he has to go to the sky, hum. "Uncle Fang is a parent.
"Hehe, Uncle Fang, I'm also very good. Da Zhuang was not convinced, but listening to his words, it seems that it is usually easier to be proud.
"Stinky boy, dare to talk back, go, take the cow around, I have something to talk about with Mr. Yang. Uncle Fang scolded with a smile.
Da Zhuang was on the verge of amnesty at this time, smirked twice, and pulled me to run out. Running more than ten meters, Da Zhuang said: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the cat." ”
I was stunned, "What are you doing with me?" ”
"Hey, hey. Da Zhuang smiled evilly.
Seeing his lewd smile, I remembered the girl he said about selling cats before he went out. A cold sweat, this is taking me to see the cat, obviously he is going to see the girl.
It didn't take long for us to arrive. The store at the entrance is very interesting--- cat meow. Hehe, it looks like the name of the store should be a cute girl, I thought to myself.
Wang Dazhuang took the lead, couldn't wait to open the door of the store, and shouted: "Ying'er, your big brother has come to see you." Then there were two smirks.
After a second, the laughter stopped abruptly, and there was no cute little girl in the store, but a middle-aged aunt, but the aunt's eyes were not very friendly.
"Who are you, my daughter started school and didn't come over today. The middle-aged aunt said coldly, her tone was already full of hostility.
"That, that, Auntie, I'm Xiaoying's friend, I work in Xuanji Pavilion over there, that, I'm just here to see Xiaoying, it's nothing. "Da Zhuang's cold sweat is about to run down.
Looking at Da Zhuang's appearance, I really wanted to laugh, such a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, there are times when he is nervous, but as a brother, I still spoke out to relieve him, "Hello, boss, I'm coming to see the cat." ”
Hearing my words, the middle-aged aunt immediately threw Da Zhuang out of the clouds, did not continue to interrogate, her face was full of smiles, and said: "Young man, what kind of cat is it, we have everything in our family, they are all vaccinated and healthy." ”
"I don't know much either, so tell me about it. "Originally, I had no intention of buying a cat, but now I can only hold on to it, or I won't be able to escape if I don't get too strong.
"Good. Young man, I don't know the price point you want to buy, I'll recommend a few to you first, you see. This is the American shorthair, that is, the American shorthair, this silver tabby, is the most classic, this has just 3 or 4 months of kittens, we have all been vaccinated, but healthy; you look at this, the big round face, called the exotic shorthair, is the Garfield as the saying goes, you young people understand, you look at this orange, how beautiful; by the way, you look at this, it is a folded ear cat, you see his ears are down, isn't it cute? Young man, do you want to raise it yourself, you want to raise it yourself, you can look at this, this is called a Siamese cat, long legs, pointed chin, this cat is not the same as other cats, it can be taken out for walking, like a dog, this cat is very loyal..."
The middle-aged aunt opened the conversation box at once, like the flowing water of the Yangtze River, and introduced it endlessly. Of course, his enthusiasm, I couldn't stand it too much, so I interrupted him, "Boss, I'll take a look first." ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged aunt was a little disappointed, it seems that this I will take a look first means that I don't buy it, just take a look.
When the middle-aged aunt sat down, she thought of Wang Dazhuang again, so she looked at him like a thief, looked at Dazhuang weakly, and hid behind me, while avoiding the sharp sight, while pulling the corner of my clothes, signaling me to leave quickly.
However, seeing Da Zhuang's unusually appearance, I really wanted to laugh, so I had a bad taste. The harder he tugged at my clothes, the more indifferent I became, strolling around teasing the kitten, and then getting closer and closer to my middle-aged aunt. I saw that the aunt had been pondering the relationship between Da Zhuang and her daughter, sitting on the chair, and had been lucky, just waiting for the last straw.
"Hello. A greeting came from the door, and when I heard the sound, I saw an old woman standing, with a hunched body, full of white hair, and a red cloth bag in her hand.
When the middle-aged aunt saw the guests, she was overjoyed again, and hurriedly greeted: "Auntie, do you want to buy cat food, we have everything." ”
Hearing this, the old grandmother looked embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "I'm not buying cat food." ”
"Then what do you need?" asked the middle-aged aunt politely.
"I have a painting in my hand, it should be a tiger. But I asked the young people in the village, and they said it was a cat. I wanted to sell this painting, and I heard that they said that someone accepted the painting, and I saw that your shop sells cats, so I came in and asked if you could accept it. ”
The grandmother's words made everyone present stunned, and I thought to myself, what kind of logic is this, it's too weird. But I understand the general meaning, and I want to sell side paintings.
"Don't, don't. Hearing that the old lady was not here to buy things, but to sell things, the middle-aged aunt immediately lost her temper and vented all the anger she had just had.
The old grandmother was a little disappointed, but she quickly apologized and withdrew.
I saw that the middle-aged aunt was already angry, and I had no intention of buying a cat, so I followed the ghost. Da Zhuang cumin was like a rabbit, and he ran away after me.
"Granny. I shouted behind the grandmother.
When the old woman heard this, she stopped and looked back at me.
"To sell paintings, you have to go to those antique shops, this pet shop, you don't accept paintings. Seeing the appearance of the old grandmother, I was a little sad, so I reminded.
"Thank you, young man, my old man is sick, and I want to sell the painting to him, I haven't been to the city for decades, and I've never been to this place. "The more the grandmother talked, the more aggrieved she became, and my heart tightened.
"Grandma, I also like to paint, can you show me this painting? Seeing the pitiful appearance of the old woman, I also felt sympathy, so I spoke.
"Alas, cow. You don't know, there are always people here who take fake things and sell them in the store, don't be fooled. Da Zhuang knew that I was cautious and soft, afraid that I would be fooled, so he reminded.
The old grandmother's eyes fell lonely, and I hurriedly said, "Da Zhuang, don't talk nonsense." Then he said to the old woman, "Grandma, let me see, I really like to draw." ”
The old lady thought that I was just polite and didn't have much hope that I would be able to buy the painting, but she still took the scroll out of the cloth bag.
This scroll is made of sandalwood, and there is a faint fragrance when it is close, and I can smell it, it is sandalwood, and the paper has yellowed, maybe this is an old object. Thinking of this, my heart is actually a little excited.
"Grandma, can I open it and see this painting?" I asked.
"Look, whatever you want. The old woman nodded.
I motioned to Da Zhuang to help me unfold the scroll together. He obviously felt a little helpless, but he still complied.
When the scroll unfolded, he laughed even more insolently. This is a Chinese painting, on the picture of a tiger, shrinking its neck, the tiger's face is showing a big "embarrassment" character, like the wronged Disney cartoon image ---Tigger. There is no majestic wind of a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, it really looks like a big cat.
