Guan Lang's appearance surprised the friends and old friends in the group for a while, but he didn't expect a guy who bragged and chatted in the group all day long to be so handsome.

When they didn't meet Guan Lang, they were even a little suspicious of his identity as a college student.

After all, the style of his paintings is so mature that it is difficult for people to associate him with a young man.

Everyone always thought that he was a middle-aged uncle who pretended to be tender.

So as soon as I met, I was naturally shocked.

The three female comrades took a recent photo with Guan Lang one by one, and a large group of single men were very envious.

Everyone chatted for a while, and the friends in the group also arrived one after another, and they were ready to take a seat and order.

"Yinbai" is a middle-aged man in his thirties with a beard on his chin and pigtails tied at the back of his head, and he is also the organizer of today's dinner party.

Bang Bang liked the environment in the courtyard very much, so everyone discussed it with the boss and chef Lao Heng and moved the large round table in the house to the outside of the courtyard.

There are very few people in Chunlin's private restaurant, and Lao Heng is a part-time chef and a buddy, so he is also very casual.

At first, everyone wanted a menu to see the dishes, but they couldn't find it on the table and on the wall for a long time, and after being introduced by the regular customer "Yinbai", they realized that there was no menu in this private restaurant.

Since the customers are usually regulars, they know what they want to eat, so they don't need a menu.

The taboo person talked to "Yinbai", and then he went to order with the boss.

Everyone just waits to arrange it and sit and eat.

As they sipped their drinks, everyone began to complain about the recent downturn in the industry.

"It's still a well-known painter like Aria, Party A's father knows that you are famous, and small painters like us are miserable, and the balance of the order I delivered last week has not been settled. ”

"Yes, yes, now Party A's requirements are really many, the advance payment is small, the final payment is not timely, and it is too difficult to wait for the trial draft!"

"Some are still reluctant to sign a contract"

"Yes, there are too many bad things, so I usually take orders from intermediary companies, although it is second-hand outsourcing, and the salary will be divided into a part, but at least there is no need to worry about the contract, as well as the delivery of remuneration, even if Party A's father skips the order, it will compensate for the loss. ”

"Then you can introduce me to some guaranteed agencies, I don't know much about these."

Offline gatherings between artists like this are still very necessary.

Because the group of freelance illustrators are relatively homely, although it will be easier and more free than ordinary work if you don't have to clock in and out of work every day, it is also easy to have psychological problems after a long time.

In addition, offline gatherings can also exchange technical experiences with each other, or share some industry consultations, so it is very beneficial for artists.

The scenery in the courtyard is very good, and sometimes a few lanceolate green leaves fall from the treetops, with a faint fragrance.

The sunlight overhead, reflecting the frame mirror of the pink wall and tiles, renders the verdant blue sky like the sea refreshing.

Guan Lang picked up the teacup, blew lightly, sipped the fragrant ripe Pu'er tea, and quietly listened to everyone chatting about the troubles in life and work, interjecting from time to time.

Of course, there wasn't much he could say.

First, he is still a college student and has not set foot in society, and he has not yet come into contact with many troubles of tea, rice, oil and salt.

Second, his painting skills are exquisite, and the people who usually take orders are those who appreciate his painting skills or painting style, so there are no pickles.

Naturally, there are not many topics that can be talked about.

Maybe seeing that he was drinking tea all the time, I thought he was shy for the first time at a party.

The booming elbow sitting next to him gently smacked him, and took the initiative to chat with him: "Aria, is your puppet okay?" I heard from the owner of the cattery that the puppet is not related at all, and it is very cold. ”

Ang Gao Leng?

Guan Lang's brain was down for a few seconds, and he didn't associate the word with the abandoned house cat at home.

Where's the cold?

But after thinking back a little about the appearance of Chiaki who met for the first time in the cattery, he understood a little bit again.

At that time, it was really cold to outsiders.

Of course, it's almost just a short heat for him now.

"It's good, my family is very sticky to me, but I usually eat a little more, and now I am only a little more than a year old, and I have already reached the red line of Ragdoll cat's weight. ”

"Yes, haha, my cats at home are similar, they are all quite edible, so we should allocate food for them throughout the day, or you can usually play more small games with them, and don't let them lie down and sleep when they are full all day. ”

"Uh-huh. Guan Lang had a deep understanding and nodded. "I've been taking my family out for a few laps at night lately. ”

Running at night, the heart is so big, and I am not afraid that the cat will run away? Bang Bang was slightly stunned, generally few cat owners will take the cat out to exercise, after all, it is not a dog, you need to go out every day to walk in circles.

"Sister Bang, thank you for the cattery you introduced last time. ”

"It's just a gesture, and you can also bring your family to play with my cats in the future. ”

The two cat owners chatted quietly about their cats.

In the chat, Guan Lang found that some of his Qianqiu's quirks turned out to be common to many cats.

For example, they all like to sleep on the robot vacuum cleaner, like to hide things, and so on

Of course, quirks like Qianqiu's likes to watch animation are relatively rare, and Bang Bang didn't believe it at first, but when Guan Lang showed her some short videos of it watching animation that she had taken before, Bang Bang nodded with a shocked face.

When everyone was chatting enthusiastically, the master Lao Heng also served steaming dishes.

The first dish is roasted meatballs, just a dozen or so meatballs, and there are no other side dishes.

The recipe for this Lao Lu dish is not complicated, but it is a great test of the chef's skills, the meat filling is very tender after beating, and the proportion of starch is just right.

Everyone got off their chopsticks one after another, chewing voyage after voyage.

More than a dozen people have one chopstick per person, and such a large plate of balls is gone.

Guan Lang chewed the balls and couldn't help but nodded.

The method is simple, the ingredients are not complicated, Guan Lang can roughly restore the approximate materials and the amount of seasoning even by chewing in his mouth.

But it's such an unpretentious dish of roasted meatballs, which is particularly delicious.

Anyway, Guan Lang's cooking skills are ashamed of himself.

The next few dishes are some of the more common side dishes, not as exquisite as those banquet dishes, although the appearance is not too eye-catching, but after the entrance can taste the taste behind the blandness, it is really hard work!
