Chapter IX. Hang your appetite

Now that the accounts have been settled, the next thing to do is to pack and settle the bill.

Everyone watched, only to see Guo Zixing take out a big wallet and count 5,500 yuan to Lin Yi. Lin Yi put all the books in the tattered fish skin bag and handed them to Guo Zixing.

In an instant, in the eyes of many customers, beggars have become big money, and big money has become rags.

Guo Zixing didn't expect Lin Yi's guy to be so shabby, he hadn't seen this kind of fish skin bag for many years, it seemed that this thing was used to hold chemical fertilizer. So he kindly reminded Lin Yi that the outer packaging of selling things is also very important, even if it is a large plastic bag of a few cents in the supermarket, it is better than this.

Lin Yi is humbly taught.

Just when Guo Zixing carried the fish skin bag and was about to part ways with Lin Yi, Lin Yi released another thunderbolt, "Brother Guo, I still have a good thing, do you want to take a look?" ”

"Huh?" Guo Zixing's eyes looking at Lin Yi are a bit like looking at a cat, how can he be full of treasures.

"If there's anything good, get it out - but don't be a miscellaneous book, I can't memorize that much." He saw that Lin Yi didn't even have a pocket, and he didn't know where to put the so-called "good things".

But soon, Guo Zixing's eyes widened, and he saw Lin Yi open his clothes and pull something out of his waist......

Damn, that's okay too?

Guo Zixing heard that someone hid gold bars around his waist, but he had never seen a book collection, what kind of treasure thing is it, it is worth this kid to be so cautious. For a while, Guo Zixing had expectations for the "good things" that Lin Yi took out.

Lin Yi's action when he opened the bag was very slow, as if what he opened was not what Wen Jiàn, but was peeling off the clothes of a beautiful woman, his movements were gentle and gentle, but his eyes were full of heat.

Guo Zixing was inflamed by his provocative behavior, and his eyes were even more staring at the open bag.

Finally, the pile of sixteen comic book manuscripts was revealed.

Guo Zixing saw at a glance the words "Wu Song Fights the Tiger", "Liu Jidian", and "1955 People's Fine Arts Publishing House".

His heart slammed, as if he was about to faint after being smashed by a sledgehammer.

If that's true, that's ...... Exceptional!

As a veteran of playing comic strips, Guo Zixing knows a lot about "Wu Song Fights the Tiger".

Liu Jidian, a famous master of Chinese painting, a master of comic book art, the founder of New China comic strips, Taishan Beidou, and the first person in Liantan.

As a great painter, he was able to paint many comic strips that painters looked down on and called "pediatrics", and almost all of the comic books that came out under his command were the best of the best, such as the well-known "Chicken Feather Letter", "Mr. Dongguo", "Wu Song Fights the Tiger" and so on. However, the most influential of his works is probably the heavy ink painting "Wu Song Fights the Tiger".

"Wu Song Fights the Tiger" is the most classic story in Chinese history, which can be described as a household name and a well-known woman. The operas, literature, paintings, etc., created according to this classic story, are endless, each with its own merits. In terms of painting alone, Liu Jidian's heavy color painting "Wu Song Fights the Tiger" is the most outstanding and wonderful of many works, and has the most extensive influence.

"Wu Song Fights the Tiger" is a group of paintings created by Mr. Liu Jidian in 1954 after the creation of "Never Left Behind", "Chicken Feather Letter", "Mr. Dongguo" and other comic books. After its completion in 1955, it was continuously distributed by the People's Fine Arts Publishing House at home and abroad in various formats and in various languages. The set of 16 paintings, vivid pictures, elegant and soft colors, the integration and coordination of figure painting, animal painting and landscape flower and bird painting as a whole, rigorous composition, fine brushwork, for the reader to create a never-before-seen heroic spirit and mighty and unyielding heroic image.

"Wu Song Fights the Tiger" created a precedent for the reform of heavy color painting. In the past, most of the heavy color paintings were based on beautiful maids, painted Hui Cordyceps, landscape buildings, theatrical masks, etc., and the composition was dull, gray and dull, and lacked vitality. Liu Jidian's "Wu Song Fights the Tiger" has changed the rigid face of the heavy color painting of the past, the character design is vivid, and the fine line drawing and ink freehand are organically combined. In particular, the vivid painting of the tiger quilt in his pen is the most brilliant part of his entire work. Coupled with the well-known story of the Water Margin, the whole work is deeply imprinted in your mind and has a strong resonance.

This strong resonance is naturally inseparable from the author's superb painting skills, if you look carefully, you will notice that every hair of the tiger can be seen clearly, this alone, you can see the old painter's creative attitude of excellence. Even if you flip through such a villain book today, many people will still be shocked by its huge artistic appeal, and those who make shoddy cultural products should really feel ashamed.

Of course, for Guo Zixing, he is not an artist, or a defender of art, he is a businessman, a big bookseller, in his eyes art is to be measured and judged by money, like this set of "Wu Song Fights the Tiger", 16 loose-leaf comic strips in 1957, he has handled it, it is so simple 16 paintings, nine products, the transaction price is 9000 yuan, and even the 4 screens of "Wu Song Fighting the Tiger" in the 50s have been sold for a high price of 3000 yuan. And that was three years ago, according to the current market of comic books, each of them can be at least tens of thousands!

Now, the painted manuscript of this set of comic books, see clearly, it is a manuscript, right in front of you, unique in the whole world, what kind of sky-high price should it be?!

Guo Zixing's mind was a little confused, he didn't understand how such treasures could appear in a small city like Nandu, and if they did, they should appear in Panjiayuan in Beijing, Confucius Temple in Shanghai, or at the top auctions...... Could it be a fake? Is the other party fooling himself? But if this is true, I will be in front of you......

Guo Zixing couldn't make up his mind, and his heart was uncomfortable like an ant crawling, but the temptation of the sketch still made him calm down quickly, and then looked at Lin Yi, who was sitting in his place like a human being, drinking his mineral water slowly.

Cheap mineral water, a dollar a bottle, he didn't seem to know how precious the drawings he took out were, he could buy a few truckloads, no, hundreds of trucks, thousands of trucks of broken water like him.

This birdman is too calm.

Guo Zixing couldn't help but scold.

But this time, he really wronged Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was not calmly pretending not to know, but he really didn't know.

He only knew that the drawings should be worth a little money, but he didn't know how much they were worth.

Enduring the unhappiness in his stomach, Guo Zixing asked Lin Yi a very important question very solemnly - "How much do you want for these sketches?" ”

Lin Yi's answer was very simple, "I'm sorry, I don't sell it!" ”
