Chapter 42: A Chance Encounter
Old Man Zhou drank tea, and said to Bian Rui at the same time: "Originally, I came to thank you, but now after tasting your craftsmanship, I'm afraid I will come often in the future, I heard that you only open Saturday and Sunday, so tomorrow must be open, please make a meal tomorrow, I will bring three old friends over."
Bian Rui was embarrassed at this moment, because he was not prepared at all, and now there are more than one meal of this material, and it is difficult to think of a second meal, so he had to say: "Mr. Zhou, I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow, I don't have so many materials here."
The bodyguard who had been standing next to him was a little puzzled, and looked at Bian Rui curiously, and said in his heart: Is it difficult to find this material for you? It is nothing more than green vegetables and cabbage, and the most expensive thing is just a few pieces of fish belly, a few pieces of fish gills and a chicken, a few small lamb chops, and they are all bought when a vegetable market turns down.
"Only prepared a meal?" asked Old Man Zhou with a smile.
Bian Rui nodded and said, "Since my shop opened in early summer, you are still the first customer."
"Hahaha, interesting! Then next week, next Saturday and Sunday, a few old friends and I will be a total of four," Mr. Zhou laughed a few times.
Bian Rui didn't feel that he was embarrassed to have no guests, so he smiled and said, "When the time comes, the younger generation will welcome the old gentleman."
After tasting a cup of tea, Old Man Zhou stood up to leave, and Bian Rui sent the old man to the door.
"No need to send it, my car is next to it" Old Man Zhou turned around and arched his hand at Bian Rui, then turned around and walked towards the car on the side of the road.
Bian Ruimu sent the old man into the car, and then turned around and went back to the store.
After Old Man Zhou got into the car, he glanced at the door of Bian Rui's shop through the window, and then asked the bodyguard beside him, "Xiao He, what do you think of this person?"
The bodyguard Xiao Wu thought for a while and said, "It's a master of using a knife."
Old Man Zhou listened to the words of the bodyguard and said with a smile: "Oh, I didn't pay attention to this, you say come and listen."
The bodyguard thought for a while, organized the language, and then said: "I don't know if you have noticed, he is fast and accurate when cutting vegetables, and there is never any superfluous action, like a peer flowing water, such a knife technique can cut vegetables, and naturally ......it can also kill people."
"How is that better than you?" asked Old Man Zhou with a smile.
The bodyguard said: "It's hard to say, this person has no murderous aura at all, it's not that he hasn't killed anyone, he is a master among the masters."
"Okay, don't guess, I've read his information, it's very ordinary, it's just that he has a good teacher, but it's a pity to leave" Old Man Zhou said with a smile.
"Didn't you say you wanted to ask him to make a request this time?" asked the bodyguard, puzzled.
Old Man Zhou said: "I originally thought so when I came, but after seeing someone and tasting his food, I changed my mind, and when he has something difficult to do in the future, I will try my best to do it for him." Now whether it's giving money or whatever, I feel a little inappropriate. This kid is a little interesting, and Xiao Zheng's stinky kid is a bit lucky."
Bian Rui didn't know that Old Man Zhou's evaluation of himself was quite good, of course, if Old Man Zhou wanted to give something, he would definitely not ask for it, for him it was a favor to return Zhou Zheng, and it was not appropriate to accept Old Man's things again.
Back in the shop, Bian Rui took his daughter to catch up with an interest class, this class girl really likes it, because it is martial arts, she is happy all the way.
Sending my daughter to an interest class, it happened that the martial arts school was in a still prosperous place, and it was leaning on a shopping mall, and Bian Rui had nothing to do anyway, so he stumbled around.
Entering a shopping mall, seeing a row of discounted coats in the hall, Bian Rui walked in to take a look, and found that the style was not new, but the quality was quite good, so he chose a stable one for his mother and grandmother.
I carried something in my hand, bought a handful of pure juice, and continued to walk upstairs while sucking it.
Bian Rui himself will not buy clothes or anything, generally when Bian Rui goes out, they are cycling clothes, and at home they are comfortable linen loose and concise Han-style regular clothes, and they are cold at most plus a sheepskin jacket, but since they have walked here and bought them for their mother and grandmother, then their grandfather and father are not easy to leave behind.
It's useless to buy a coat or something, because this kind of coat is generally slim, and the two old men don't like the feeling of being tied up by clothes, so Bian Rui has to pick some loose ones that can be worn when he can work.
Originally, he was going to go shopping for clothes, but when he got to the second floor, Bian Rui found that a new gallery had opened in this big shopping mall, and now there was an art exhibition in it.
With the thought that he didn't have to spend tickets if he had time, Bian Rui went in with his things.
Entering the door, Bian Rui suddenly felt that his vision was wide, he didn't expect that the door was not too eye-catching, but there was a hole inside, a shopping mall in such a location, the outline of the painting actually made a hall of three or four hundred square meters, and the strength of this gallery felt quite good.
When he entered the door, Bian Rui found that there were really a lot of people inside.
As soon as Bian Rui entered the door, someone looked at Bian Rui with curiosity from time to time, because others at least came to see the exhibition in orthodox clothes, where was it like Bian Rui, who was directly dressed in a cycling uniform, and the jacket was either a skeleton or an Indian chieftain wearing a long feather crown.
In short, the current Bian Rui is like a flamingo that broke into the crane's nest, obviously a little dazzling.
No one came over to let Bian Rui out, so Bian Rui began to stroll around with no one in his eyes.
Now the so-called avant-garde calligraphy and painting works are on display in the hall, and Bian Rui thinks it is quite interesting after looking at a few of them.
This is very interesting, not to say how high the level of these people is, even if the level of these people is high, it is not as high as the works of those old guys in the space, whether it is technique or expressiveness, the pioneers of Chinese painting seem to have walked all the roads that can be walked to death, and it is almost impossible for modern Chinese painters to break through.
When the breakthrough becomes impossible, there are many demons and monsters in the painting world, which is the same as some so-called shooting this and shooting that, or ugly book masters in the book world.
Bian Rui does not despise this phenomenon, because the painter also has to eat, but also to feed the family, it is not impossible to create a little momentum and take a little deviant, as long as he does not kill people, set fires, block the road and rob, Bian Rui thinks that there is no problem.
As for your collection of paintings by this kind of person, if they don't appreciate or depreciate after they go, then there is no way, playing art depends on eyesight, and if you don't have this eyesight, it means that you shouldn't plunge into this market.
The first work Bian Rui saw made Bian Rui endure not laughing, but he was already smiling and bending over in his heart.
The picture of the first work is like this, under an old tree, there is a light girl, in addition to the light girl, the old tree these scenes are all ink, that is, black and white, only this light girl is colored, pink, the painting is quite abstract, anyway, from the characteristics of the person at a glance, you know that it is a woman.
Standing in front of this painting, Bian Rui seemed to hear a sentence in his ear: Uncle, come and have fun!
There is also an introduction to the author next to the painting, the title of the good guy was almost not written on a piece of paper, what a member of the Art Association, the backbone of the painting school, anyway, after reading the profile of this person, Bian Rui almost thought that he would hold a labor commendation conference.
The next few works of this one, the width is indispensable to the light girl, there are squatting and sitting, as for the location, there are really anywhere, such works, let Bian Rui look at it is called a happy ah.
The light girl who finally flashed blind is gone, and the next one's work, that guy is even more called a, Bian Rui was stunned and didn't understand, the whole film is a big black ball, either crooked here or there, crooked Bian Rui is a little dizzy, and it is estimated that he will have to call an ambulance after watching it for a while.
The next work is a little more presentable, but the skills are too poor, and I can't get into the 'eye master and low hand' Bian Ruiyan.
This person has introduced some Western painting concepts and techniques into his works, but in Bian Rui's view, he can't help but think of the fish in Xing Ye's "God of Food", which is like being irradiated by nuclear radiation, and the two sides are not leaning.
Unlike the previous Western paintings, Chinese painting does not pay attention to the accuracy of form or perspective, it pays attention to a state of mind, and it also expresses what the painter wants to express.
The painters before Western painting did not have the right to express their own hearts, they were actually a type of work in society, they showed the existence of God for the Holy See, and the truth of the painting was to tell the uneducated people that God is indeed a human being, you see, God is like this, and the saints are like this.
In the past, the survival of Western painters depended on the church and the aristocracy. And Chinese painters, whether it is Gu Kaizhi or Yan Liben, are themselves members of the aristocracy, and at the same time they also have a distinct label, that is, literati, they are literate, and they do not know how high the intellectual and spiritual level of the Western apprentices.
If ancient Chinese painting is idealistic, then Western painting is materialism.
When Western art developed to materialism, Western painters began to get rid of the aristocracy and the church to pursue their own feelings, and naturally got rid of form and light and shade, and began to take the route of resemblance but not form.
As for modern art, Bian Rui doesn't think he can understand it at all, anyway, Bian Rui won't buy it, the biggest feature of modern art is that there is no standard, you think it's worth as much as it is, you think it's worthless, it's worthless.
The so-called art that Bian Rui sees now is also nonsense, but it makes Bian Rui look quite happy, so Bian Rui thinks that they are still a little valuable, ten yuan for a piece, five yuan is considered to buy paper, five yuan is considered labor, it is really no more.
"Bian Rui!"
Just when Bian Rui felt that the joy had not come in vain, he heard someone call him.
Turning his head, Bian Rui saw a woman standing out of the crowd waving at him, and then Bian Rui muttered in his heart: Hey, do I know this person?
After thinking about it for a while, Bian Rui remembered that this was not the female car friend he met when he was selling melons a few months ago!
By the way, what's her name?
Bian Rui forgot the names of the people again.
