Chapter 107: Bamboo and Stone
At about nine o'clock in the evening, the birthday banquet ended.
Su Zhenhong and Ye Qin had to stay for a while, Su Jing and his classmates left the venue first and went to a nearby barbecue restaurant for dinner, although they verbally said that they were going to kill Su Jing, but the main purpose was actually just to chat with each other, after all, it was not easy to get together. A few people played until about 12 o'clock in the evening, and then they dispersed and went back to their respective homes.
The next day, He Jingdong came to Su Jing's house and did a field trip, although it is the seaside, but the seaside is a reef, and the land under the house is strong enough, so it can be built, and finally He Jingdong estimated it at 10 million, including the various layouts and decorations required by Su Jing, including the luxurious decoration of the villa on the fourth floor, in fact, at least 10 million at the beginning, there was a deliberate high meaning that Su Jing knew the difficulty and retreated, 10 million is enough to be extravagant.
Now the only remaining problem is that the countryside does not seem to be able to build so high, Su Jing called and asked Wang Zhuo, firstly, because the Wang family is extremely powerful, Wang Zhuo is easy to do, and secondly, Wang Zhuo has sent someone to inspect the nearby environment, and has obtained the permission of the government, ready to start developing this tourism, for the construction of this area, he now has a great say.
"Why are you building such a tall building?" Wang Zhuo said in surprise when he heard Su Jing's words.
"Stay on your own. Su Jing said.
Wang Zhuo on the other side of "......" couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, not long ago, Su Jing was just a rural guy with good cooking skills, and in a blink of an eye, he became such a tyrant, it seems that he didn't look away, Su Jing must be a character in the future.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of all the formalities for you. Wang Zhuo smiled, obviously this was just a trivial matter for him.
"Thank you so much. Su Jing said happily.
"Be kind to me. Wang Zhuo smiled and said, "I also have something to ask you for, I have an old friend, because of his age, he has become more and more hungry in the past six months, can you cook a few meals for him?"
"It's a trivial matter, I'll send it in person another day, but I can't guarantee whether it will work. Su Jing agreed, but he didn't dare to pack the ticket, it would work, after all, the physical function of the elderly is declining, which is different from children and young people.
"Hehe, if he can't even eat what you make, it can only mean that his time limit is approaching and he can't be saved. Wang Zhuo said with a smile.
"......" Su Jing was speechless for a while, did he damage his old friend so much?
After hanging up the phone, Su Jing discussed with He Jingdong for a while and confirmed some details, He Jingdong seemed to have an inspiration, and couldn't wait to leave with the manuscript paper. However, although the "stacking blocks" process is enough for a month, the preliminary work is still more time-consuming, and it is not urgent.
"10 million, I'm not enough, I still have to earn it. Su Jing planned to send the roots to Wanbao Auction House, but he only had 2.66 million on hand, and it was enough to auction seven or eight million.
"Look at this painting. Su Jing took out the landscape painting he bought from Shen Hong, and after buying it, Su Jing knew that from the perspective of professionals, this painting could not be faker, no matter from the shaft, paper, and ink, it was revealed that it was a modern copy, and the level of copying could only be said to be acceptable. In fact, Wu Daozi's masterpiece "The Heavenly King Sends His Son", what has survived is not the authentic work, but the copy of Li Gonglin of the Song Dynasty, but the copy is also divided into grades, and this copy in Su Jing's hand is undoubtedly not in the stream. Because of this, no one bought it at all before.
"Untie it and take a look. Su Jing released his spiritual power, drilled through the gap at the edge of the painting, and then slowly lifted the surface along the gap, if this is to rely on the hand, I am afraid it will require a high level of skill, otherwise it is easy to tear the painting inside, but it is very simple to use spiritual power to separate from the inside. A corner was torn open, revealing the yellowed paper inside, and a corner of the ink painting, with a few bamboos and columns of characters.
Su Jing continued to peel it off, and in a short time the surface layer was completely torn open, revealing the whole painting, with only a few bamboos and two upright stones on it. It's simple, although Su Jing doesn't know how to do it, but I feel that this painting has an elegant artistic conception, which is much better than before it was unraveled.
"Check to see if it's a famous painting. According to the words on the painting and the red seal, Su Jing checked the information on the Internet, and after a while, he really found some eyebrows for him, revealing a look of surprise, "Could this be - Zheng Banqiao's "Bamboo and Stone Map"?"
Zheng Banqiao is a famous calligrapher and painter in the early Qing Dynasty, and is also one of the famous Yangzhou Eight Monsters, known as the all-round painter of "poetry, calligraphy, painting" by later generations, his painting achievements are extremely high, especially good at painting bamboo and stone, thin branches and thick leaves, thin and lonely height, style superman, the painted orchid highlights the wild atmosphere in the mountains, with the pen Xiuyi, the fragrance is blowing.
Interestingly, Zheng Banqiao is different from ordinary literati, most of the Chinese literati for thousands of years are ashamed to talk about money, and most of them think that the vulgar is unbearable, but Zheng Banqiao has a unique view of elegance and vulgarity, thinking that there is nothing to be ashamed of exchanging paintings for money.
At the age of 30, Zheng Banqiao, teaching has been difficult to make a living, so he went to Yangzhou to sell paintings for a living, and became a professional painter for 10 years. Sure enough, after he resigned, he worked as a professional painter until his death, selling paintings for 20 years to make a living.
As a professional painter, Zheng Banqiao has a large number of Zheng Banqiao's paintings, according to statistics, there are more than 7,000 paintings. However, among them, the authenticity is mixed, fakes are full of auctions, and some people say that "the authenticity is less than one-tenth".
"I don't know if it's genuine or fake, but if it's genuine, it's developed. Su Jing looked at the bamboo and stone map in front of him, he was a little excited, this is just a painting that he bought for a thousand yuan, if it is Zheng Banqiao's real work, it is normal to sell it for millions, which is equivalent to making millions of dollars when it changes hands, which is simply easier than picking up money.
"When the time comes, let's take it to Wanbao Auction House for appraisal. After all, Su Jing didn't know how to do it, and he couldn't identify it, thinking in his heart, anyway, it had been unraveled, even if he put it in front of Shen Hong, he wouldn't recognize it as that landscape map.
At this moment, Su Jing heard a cry, it was a killer whale calling.
Su Jing put the bamboo and stone map, came to the beach, only to see the killer whale holding a large piece of white things, it seems that it is used to give it to himself, every time the killer whale comes over during this time, it will bring gifts by the way, but most of them are worthless, it doesn't know what is valuable after all.
"Little Tiger, what are you giving this time?" Su Jing walked up and took off the large white thing from the killer whale's mouth, and then couldn't help but show a puzzled look, although some of the gifts given by killer whales in the past were not very valuable, but they were all relatively good-looking, such as shells, corals and the like, but what is this white thing?
