Songzhu Zhai is a well-known Chinese and foreign time-honored shop that operates the four treasures of the study, and is also famous for its Chinese calligraphy and painting business, which has a history of more than 300 years. Songzhuzhai is located in the west street of the antique street in the capital, which is an antique, tall antique building with carved beams and paintings.

Mi Bei is a beautiful girl, she likes to draw since she was a child, and she also tried to take the college entrance examination, but the competition was too fierce, and she finally fell off the list. Later, I went to a junior college casually, but finding a job after graduation became a problem. Her parents entrusted her with a relationship so that she could come to work in Songzhuzhai. For Mibe, working here is a good choice. At least it won't be exposed to the wind and sun, and you can also get in touch with the calligraphy and painting you like, and this job is also very decent. It's not that there are no shortcomings, but there is only one, that is, low wages.

Since coming to Songzhuzhai, Mibei has been very diligent, rushing to do it when he sees work, and greeting customers warmly when he sees them, and is deeply loved by other clerks.

Today, Mi Bei, who was busy in the store as usual, found a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, calmly walking in the door. The boy looks white and clean, but the clothes on his body have been washed and white, and it can be seen that his family background is not very good. Mi Bei greeted him with a smile as usual: "Hello, sir, what do you see." ”

The person who came was Su Tuo, and now he urgently needed to solve the problem of money. After eating a big meal with the teacher's meal card, I returned the meal card. He and Yunhu felt that this meal could save dinner, but tomorrow, they still have to eat. So as soon as he finished the exam, Su Tuo wanted to come to this antique street to see if there was any way to make money.

Yunhu didn't want to follow, saying that he had eaten too much at noon and wanted to go back to the basement hotel to sleep. After Su Tuo separated from him, he came to the antique street alone, first visited a lot of shops, and found that no one bought sketches. Oil paintings can be sold, one is that they need to be put on consignment in other people's stores, and they may not be able to sell them when they will be sold; and the other is that the cost of oil paintings is too high, and paints, canvases, etc. are very expensive, and they cannot afford it now.

Come to think of it, Songzhu Zhai is the most suitable, they operate in a different way, in addition to normal transactions, they also collect works. It is precisely because of this that Songzhuzhai often directly acquires calligraphy and painting works. But they only buy Chinese paintings and calligraphy, not oil paintings. It doesn't matter, according to what I just learned, the price of oil paintings is generally low, the price of Chinese paintings and calligraphy is not bad, and the cost of a Chinese painting is much lower than that of oil paintings.

What, I haven't practiced Chinese painting? Don't be afraid, we have a system.

"Hello, I want to see the four treasures of the study. Su Tuo also smiled and replied.

Mi Bei took Su Tuo to the four treasures of the study area, Su Tuo looked at the price of the four treasures of the study on the top of the multi-treasure grid, and shook his head secretly. Seeing Su Tuo shaking his head, Mi Bei asked, "Why, you don't like these." If there are high requirements, we can record them and customize them for you. ”

Su Tuo's old face couldn't hold it anymore, and said embarrassedly: "It's too expensive, I can't afford it." Mi Bei listened, blinked her big beautiful eyes, and was speechless, this child was too straightforward for her to answer.

"I don't have any money right now, but I can paint, I heard that you accept paintings here?"

"Yes, yes, but only the works of famous artists can be accepted. Even if it's on consignment, it has to be from a well-known artist. Mi Bei looked at Su Tuo, and felt a little unbearable to hit him, and said that he was looking forward to Ai Ai.

"In this case, then let me inquire, if you buy the four treasures of the study from you, can you try the pen. ”

"Absolutely. ”

"Can I try it?"

"Hmm...... Well...... No problem, come with me, I love that place. Mi Bei knew that Su Tuo would not buy Wenfang 4, so he gritted his teeth and asked him to try the pen. There is no rule in the store that he must buy a pen if he tries it, and he pretends to be confused, just when he really wants to buy it.

The two came to a side hall, a large case in the middle of the hall, and shelves on both sides, and the shelves were full of pen, ink, paper, inkstones, and paints, etc., which were dazzling, and Su Tuo was full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Mi Bei skillfully began to clean up the case, and after sorting out a large area, he asked Su Tuo: "Do you write or draw?"

"Draw. ”

"Gongbi or Freehand?"

"Freehand. Su Tuo thought to himself, is there still someone who can try to draw a pen? A painting has been done for several days, is it still called a test pen?

"You're in luck, I know there's a twenty-year-old birth announcement here. It was cut out of the last time Huang Lao came to try the pen, and he could only draw a handscroll or a vertical scroll, so no one used it. ”

Because the main ingredients of rice paper are white grass and sandalwood. White grass is made of straw and lime that is exposed to the wind and sun for a year before pulping and making paper. The longer the time, the better the degree of oxidation, and the better the effect of the pen to moisten the ink. The whole piece of paper for 20 years is about 100 yuan, and there is a chance to use it in vain, of course, you can't miss it. As for a long strip, don't be afraid, just choose a suitable one in the system.

"That's great, but wouldn't it be hard for you to test the pen with old paper? ”

"No, it's not a whole paper, it's just a strip, and this kind of scrap material is used as waste. There are often people in the shop who practice with old paper leftovers, and no one says anything. ”

Everything was cleaned up, Su Tuo stood in front of the case, looking at the yellowish shengxuan on the case, and did not rush to write. Mibe thinks he's conceiving, but he's actually interacting with the system.

"Search for 105x35 cm vertical scroll Chinese paintings, large freehand flowers and birds or landscapes. ”

A total of 1,135 images were retrieved. ”

"Remove the landscape, just flowers and birds. ”

A total of 568 images were retrieved. ”

"Who is the most classified by painters?"

"Qi Baishi, a total of 48 pieces. ”

"How many are under 100 contribution points?"

"3 pieces. They are 80 contribution points for the gourd diagram, 50 contribution points for the shrimp diagram and 60 contribution points for the morning glory diagram. ”

Su Tuo began to think about it, Master Qi Baishi's most famous is shrimp, but the group of shrimp here only needs 50 contribution points, which is obviously a mediocre work, and it should be a work of compensation for painting shrimp at the beginning. If you choose all the master's shrimp, you must choose the high-quality products, only then will it have a shocking effect.

Morning glory has a moderate contribution point, which seems to be very suitable, but morning glory is much worse than gourd in metaphor.

In traditional culture, the gourd is one of the most primitive mascots of the Chinese nation. The shape of the gourd is "S" shaped, like the dividing line between yin and yang in the Bagua diagram, and Taoist culture believes that it can collect the evil energy between heaven and earth. The branch "vine" of the gourd is homophonic with ten thousand, and there are many seeds stored in each mature gourd, which reminds people of "descendants of all generations, flourishing and auspicious", and "Fulu" homonym. Therefore, the folk believe that the gourd can avoid evil and auspicious, so there are many people who paint gourds in the past dynasties.

"Select Learn Hulu Diagram. ”

With a "swish", Master Qi's gourd diagram was displayed in Su Tuo's mind, and then the decomposition of the techniques began, showing them one by one, and allowing Su Tuo to fully understand and comprehend them.

Mi Bei held the ink ingot in her hand and looked at Su Tuo in a daze, she found that Su Tuo was just in a daze just now, and now she even closed her eyes. I'm asking if I want to call him or not, a reminder. Su Tuo's eyes opened at this time, glanced at Mi Bei, smiled slightly, and said to her: "Jiao Mo, Shi Huang." ”
