Chapter 288: Invitation to Paint
This white foreign painter, from the Netherlands, has a standard of Chinese like an announcer, and he can paint Chinese paintings to the extent that people passing by are amazed, which shows that he loves Chinese culture to a certain extent.
His Chinese name is Lu Yuwen, which he took when he learned Chinese, and it means mellow and elegant.
Not to mention anything else, that is, so many strokes he can distinguish, write, and explain the meaning, his Chinese level is really powerful.
Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-five years old, and his family has a little money. He has been learning to paint since he was a child, and later came into contact with Chinese painting by chance, and was amazed at that time, and found a way to come to study with him.
To learn Chinese painting, you must first understand how to learn to understand the artistic conception in it - this has a huge aesthetic difference with Western painting, and there are also huge cultural differences.
For example, like many famous ancient Chinese landscape paintings, the height is ordinary, and the length is huge, and the scroll has to be rolled for half a day, or the width is average, but the height is one or two meters.
It is impossible to attribute the perspective points to one point in Western paintings, but there are perspective points everywhere, and you can walk through a period of scenery.
The beauty of this, Chinese have known how to appreciate since childhood, without obstacles, but Europeans and Americans do not understand, why the distant mountains are as big as the nearby mountain paintings? Why do the colors above and below not be distinguished by shades and shades?
Why do you paint shrimp like that? There are no water waves, and there is no sense of shape, so why is it a good painting?
This Lu Yuwen can see the truth from this kind of "unspeakable, only understandable".
And his artistic conception is also well grasped.
After chatting with this foreign painter, Zhou Heng explained his intentions, can we have a business cooperation?
doesn't need too many lines or anything like that, Zhou Heng just spent money to buy the right to display his paintings on the Internet, and didn't use them for other purposes.
In addition, I invited him to invite a few more paintings, the theme of which is the chickens he raises, hares, fish, black goats, etc.
Lu Yuwen was flattered, obviously others recognized his paintings so much, and they were also very happy for him.
Then, he agreed to Zhou Heng's cooperation intention with a smile, and only charged him a small amount of money, which means - in fact, some of his previous works have long been moved away after being exhibited on his personal homepage, and now they are all over the Internet.
Many people share it with their friends, and some of the official accounts that train painting are used for use, etc.-this is equivalent to making a profit in commercial use, and he didn't pursue it.
For him, Chinese painting is originally Chinese, as long as they all like it, it means that he is good at painting and he is willing to share.
Maybe only if you really love this art, you can do it, it doesn't matter.
Even if Zhou Heng didn't come to him this time, and put it on his Internet without permission, he wouldn't pursue it.
But for Zhou Heng, it is better to follow the procedure, and there is no shortage of money. You don't want to get yourself in trouble at any time.
He just thinks that this foreign painter's Chinese painting is very good, and the theme of yesterday's picture is still his chicken, which is even more rare.
In addition to a few ready-made paintings on the theme of chickens, he also wanted to invite the painter to paint some of the rest, forming a sense of series in the same style.
Lu Wenwen readily agreed that he had been in China for a long time, otherwise Chinese and Chinese painting would not have achieved such achievements.
He fell in love with this delicious ingredient after a Chinese friend invited him to a family dinner, and after tasting the unparalleled chicken soup.
Speaking of which, he took the opportunity to praise China's new four major inventions - express delivery and online shopping are really amazing, and the ingredients in the countryside can be delivered to buyers within two to three days, which is also too efficient, right?
It would be nice if this thing could be developed into their country. I really don't know how he will get used to it after he goes back, the new four major inventions are gone.
A while ago, I heard that there was a tourist attraction here, and there were homestay services, so I ran over excitedly, and I felt that the environment here was suitable, and I liked it very much, so I directly booked a three-month residence period.
For him, it's the same wherever he lives, so why not live in a beautiful place to practice drawing?
Zhou Heng invited him to paint, and it was not a conflict, even if he was not invited, he would paint.
The two of them quickly and happily came to an agreement, and then went their separate ways.
When Zhou Heng went back, he went to the field and pulled a handful of fresh cabbage back by the way, and the leaves of the vegetables were still with dew, which was very fresh.
Jiang Xiaoxuan now needs more sleep than ordinary people, and when he returned with the dishes, she had just gotten up.
My own food is very fresh, especially the fat, which is more delicious than the usual vegetables, and it feels sweet when you eat it.
Today's breakfast is rice and stir-fried vegetables, and the big pot of rice has already been cooked, but Zhou Heng will also open a small stove to supplement his daughter-in-law's nutrition, and he himself will be wiped out by the way.
Jiang Xiaoxuan also came to the kitchen at this time, opened the refrigerator and looked at it, and said, "Let's eat scallops for breakfast today?"
The refrigerator is full, usually vegetables don't need to be bought, there are a lot of varieties planted in the field, but uncommon aquatic products and beef have to go to the market to buy, sometimes Zhou Heng doesn't have time to go to the end, his father will also buy some and fill the refrigerator.
In the past, I was usually reluctant to eat some shells, beef, etc., but now it is not a problem at all, plus there are pregnant women at home, so there is no need for Zhou Heng's request, my parents are already willing to spend, and I don't feel distressed to buy expensive things to fill the refrigerator.
Zhou Heng was cleaning up the little cabbage he had just brought back, and said, "Okay, how do you want to eat it?"
Jiang Xiaoxuan was really entangled, and then said, "Let's braise it." ”
Her current tastes have become heavier with this.
Just now took the scallops out of the refrigerator, Li Yunlian had already run back to the kitchen, and hurriedly said: "I'll come, I'll come, this is cold, don't touch it, let me come." ”
She had just come back from washing vegetables outside.
Jiang Xiaoxuan is saying: "No, no, no, I can ......"
The bag in his hand has been snatched away.
Zhou Heng said: "Mom, I'll make breakfast today, it's okay for you to take a rest." I'm going to make something that none of you have ever eaten before, and I'll open your eyes. ”
Li Yunlian was willing to let him do it, and said: "It's okay, now there is less work in the field, I just cook a meal, I'm not tired, I don't need to rest, I'll come." ”
After Zhou Heng selected the cabbage, he put it in the basin to wash, then took the scallop in the old lady's hand, and said: "Come on, my mother is really pitiful, I won't have time to rest, you have to form a habit in the future." ”
It's really a person who has worked all her life, and it's hard to let her rest.
Over there, Aunt Zhou Heng smiled at this side and said, "Your family is really serious, they are all rushing to cook, and other people's families are fighting over money." ”
Li Yunlian saw that her son insisted on cooking, so she leaned on him and said, "Then I'll go and help your aunt for a while." ”
There are a lot of dishes in the big pot of rice over there, and it takes time to choose, so she went over to help for a while.
Zhou Heng soaked the scallops in salted water, and after the scallops spit out the sand, they took them out and boiled them in a pot.
It didn't take long for all the scallop shells to open, Jiang Xiaoxuan helped to fish them out, and then used a spoon to peel off the scallop meat one by one.
On the other side, Zhou Heng washed a few potatoes, which were fresh and eaten in season, not the kind of old potatoes that had been stored for a year.
Jiang Xiaoxuan asked him, "What did you say you were going to make for us to eat?
Saying in front of the chef that she has never eaten is a bit insulting to other people's professions, right?
Zhou Heng said confidently: "This is what I saw on the Internet, it is not a famous dish, I guarantee you have not eaten it." ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan smiled: "Okay, then I'll wait and see, don't slap yourself in the face." ”
She picked up the scallop meat, Zhou Heng washed the potatoes, cut them into small pieces at will, washed off the starch on the surface, and then took them to the pot to steam them.
Li Yunfang, who was on the other side of the kitchen, whispered: "The two of them are really good, they don't quarrel, it's rare these years." ”
After all, I came over, and I saw a lot of them when I was working outside, and now marriage and divorce are commonplace, and quarrels or something are too common, and it is relatively rare to see them so sweet and not quarrel.
Li Yunlian nodded: "Well, they don't quarrel too much, it's okay." My daughter-in-law also has a good temper. ”
Li Yunfang joked with a smile: "You don't talk to your son, he will ask you later, is he not good-tempered?"
Li Yunlian waved her hand: "I don't look at my son, I don't have that concept, I only look at my daughter-in-law, so they don't have to quarrel." They don't quarrel, it's better than anything. ”
Li Yunfang gave her a thumbs up and said with a smile: "You are still an enlightened mother-in-law." ”
Li Yunlian looked proud: "Of course." ”
Home and everything is prosperous, but how to get along with the family is still a bit of a doorway, and she has a lot of experience.
Over there, after Zhou Heng steamed the potatoes for a while, he scooped them up, and then used the back of a big spoon to make the steamed potatoes into mashed potatoes, which was a bit laborious.
Taking advantage of this time, the pot was empty, Jiang Xiaoxuan went to make braised scallop meat, and by the way, she took the time to see what Zhou Heng was doing, making dishes that even she had never seen.
After Zhou Heng picked up the mashed potatoes, he mixed some salt and seasoning in them, and then piled up the mashed potatoes like a mountain, with a small groove at the top.
Then, he cut some pork belly, cut the meat into small meat foam, and then cut some garlic foam and ginger foam.
Seeing the way he used the knife, Li Yunlian sighed in her heart, her son is really good at cooking, and time flies really fast.
Zhou Heng cut a little green pepper grains and a little red pepper grains, the colors are bright, which can not only flavor but also adjust the color.
These are all grown in their own vegetable fields, and they can't be eaten every day, and they have to make a little chili sauce to eat.
After everything was ready, Jiang Xiaoxuan also put the braised scallop meat in the pot, which was full of aroma and mouthwatering.
It's a dish made by an authentic chef, and it's not too troublesome to add seasoning or seasoning, just to pursue deliciousness, and there are many processes.
Zhou Heng swallowed his saliva and said, "Why don't you fry this meat." ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan asked her: "Didn't you say to make a dish that we haven't seen before?" I haven't seen it, and I still know how to do it?"
Zhou Heng said with a smile: "It's the kind that stir-fries this meat foam, adds water and ditch thickener." ”
If Chef wasn't here, he would have done it himself, but isn't Chef here?
Jiang Xiaoxuan knew what he meant by the kind of meat foam, so she said, "Okay, I'll come." ”
