Old Jack looked at Fang Yi and asked incredulously, "What did you say?" Looking for a purebred Lipizza horse? ”。

"yes!" Fang Yi nodded and said, "Which horse farms near here have this kind of horse?" You know, tell me, I'm going to take a look in the next two days! ”。

"You can only find purebred Lipizza in Europe or in equestrian clubs, and even this so-called purebred Lipizza is very difficult, because there are only about 3,000 purebred horses!" Old Jack looked at Fang Yi's smiling face and turned into surprise, so he immediately asked his boss, "What are you looking for this kind of horse for?" ”。

"I want to see the knight's mount in the next painting, I need to know a beautiful horse, and it is best to see a horse with my own eyes, I need it to be a model for me" Fang Yi immediately said, as for the purebred Lipizza horse when he ran to Europe, Fang Yi believed that as long as he went, he could see it. Not to mention that 3,000 horses is 300 horses, it is not a big deal for my current fame, after all, I just want to see it, and don't be greedy for ink. However, because a horse went to Europe, Fang Yi felt a bit ridiculous, and now he immediately considered preparing to change to another horse.

Old Jack couldn't help but smile when he heard the boss's request and said: "If you don't emphasize that it is too pure or not, as long as it looks good, then there are many choices, the most nearby horse farms are Quarter horses, as well as Morgan, and there are also some Arabs, of course, most of them are mixed-race, and the body shape is already good, and there are Friesland, Andalusian ......."

"Just look good, look good!" Fang Yi hurriedly said.

"That's easy. If you have time, I'll take you to a few horse farms to have a look, and you'll have a visual impression after looking at it," Jack said to Fang Yi.

Fang Yi had no choice but to nod when he heard this. I made the right decision in my heart and left the professional things to Jack, a professional person: "That's fine! ”。

After taking the task, Old Jack was busy that day, and took Fang Yi to other people's pastures to watch the horses at eight o'clock the next day. As a half-horse blind, Fang Yi has opened his eyes now, and he has seen nearly 20 horse breeds in three or four days, and he doesn't know how a small Los Angeles can hide so many horse breeds.

Fang Yi finally found a horse he liked. A tall horse was nibbling on the grass on the early ground of the racecourse, with long manes hanging straight down on its slender and solid neck, and its whole body looked very well-proportioned. And the limbs also look quite powerful, and the whole horse's coat color looks cyan, as if it has been randomly dotted with a slightly darker cyan, with a hint of smudge.

Look at the horse in front of you. Fang Yi immediately felt that a highly favored mount should be like this. There is a force in the silence, and the whole body of the hanging horse's head has a trace of grace.

"That's it!" Fang Yi pointed to the horse he liked and said to Jack and the rancher.

Jack glanced at the direction of Fang Yi's finger, and immediately opened his mouth and said, "Boss, that's a half-breed horse!" It looks like there must be some Frisian blood, and the head has some Arabian horse features, and it seems that there are other horse breeds! ”。 Listening to the boss talking about purebred and purebred, in the end, how did he pick a mixed-blooded horse, and it was also mixed, almost to the point that the horse could only plow the land and pull the plow.

I saw a horse that matched my heart. Fang Yi was in a good mood and didn't care about the question of whether he was purebred or not, and asked directly to the rancher, "Larik." I think this horse is good! ”。

God knows where Jack saw so many sermons! Fang Yi saw that it was good-looking and satisfactory.

"A thousand dollars!" When the rancher heard that Fang Yi liked this horse, he immediately quoted his price.

"A thousand dollars?" Jack looked at the rancher and said, "Bring your trailer for transporting horses?" ”。 A hybrid horse is worth a thousand dollars, which is not the price here, and it is high to cut half of such a horse.

Larik, the owner of the horse farm, glanced at Jack and Fang Yi and said, "I thought you wanted to buy a thoroughbred, who knew that you would buy such a horse after watching it all morning, because I pushed off two groups of guests who came to the racecourse because you came!" ”。

Does that mean I know you're going to push a guest, and you're still bothering with me about the money?

"If I spend a thousand dollars on such a horse, then I won't be a cowboy" Jack didn't appreciate it, and opened his mouth and said: "That's it, four hundred dollars at most, it's good to have four hundred dollars for such a horse, and in a few years you can only kill and sell horse meat!" ”。

"Or else!" Larik, the owner of the horse farm, said to Fang Yi again: "I can lend you this horse, it can be regarded as a model for you, I don't want you for a minute, and then you finish painting and let me go and pick it up!" What do you think of this approach? ”。

Jack smiled when he heard this: "It's not good at all!" ”。

Hearing what the rancher Larrick said, Fang Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was too obvious that the rancher of the thief was ready to wait for him to finish the work, and immediately used this horse as his own model to make money, or raised it himself to take photos of tourists who came to the ranch to play, or simply sold it, and at that time, one or two thousand dollars might be easy to get rid of.

"Well, we'll take four hundred dollars!" Old Jack said to Larrick, the owner of the horse farm.

"Five hundred!".

Jack glanced at Fang Yi, saw Fang Yi nodded, and said to Larik: "Deal!" ”。

After taking the horse by the hand and looking at it, Fang Yi realized that this horse was the same as Mr. Docile in his own family, a gelding.

Of course, this situation is understandable, there is no small horse farm of this size that says that it wants to breed a new horse breed on its own, and even if it is a super horse farm, there are few horse breeds that say that they breed horses.

Even if the body looks good, just because of the half-breed, this horse will not be able to get rid of the fate of this knife.

Now that the horse is there, Fang Yi also ordered a set of Mingguang armor and vest from a domestic handicraft company, of course, this thing is not really made of iron. Just do metal craftsmanship on the plastic, anyway, it must be like.

These things were carried out step by step, and Fang Yi and his family rushed to Florida after the Chinese New Year. Get ready to be a judge for a portrait contest.

It's not just Henry who is the same judge as Fang Yi? Bobile, and more importantly, Michael? Carson, an old friend, as for the other people, Fang Yi didn't know him very well, and it wasn't interesting to chat, so before he came, he deliberately asked the organizing committee to set up a room close to Michael.

Fang Yi didn't want to talk to Bobil about anything, but it was obvious that Fang Yi had miscalculated, and when he arrived at the hotel, Fang Yi found that there was Michael living on the left hand of his room? Carson. And on the right hand lived the old man Bobil.

The old man also opened another room on his apprentice's right hand in his room, and he simply used Dean as a servant and a servant! But there was no unhappiness on Dean's face, not only was there no unhappiness, but he was happy all day. The full expression of xiàn shows the good character that a traditional apprentice should have who does not fight back and scolds and does not return the mouth.

Fang Yi didn't like to see Bobil, but that didn't prevent the old man from finding him when he didn't have a choice! There's no way to do anything about Bobile, and it's not good for anyone anyway. Then find one that is a little more pleasing to the eye and take a look. In this way, Fang Yi became the first choice of the old man's neighbors.

Now is the so-called primary selection, to put it bluntly, it is a bit like Fang Yi when he participated in the stone art college entrance examination, a large field put the works, and then the judges looked at them one by one, and then the good works were sent to the expert group composed of Fang Yi and these people to judge, to evaluate who can enter the finals, and then the finals will be in March without notice, and then the finalists will create and participate in that in April.

Fang Yi's judge did it very easily. Of course, in order to take a little responsibility, Fang Yi will also go to the first scene from time to time to see some of the submitted works.

In his spare time, Fang Yi and Michael team up to visit the galleries or antique shops here.

Visited a few shops. Fang Yi didn't find anything worth picking up on his own, and even Fang Yi found that it was difficult to pick up with his current face with high public recognition.

"Ugh!" Fang Yi looked at the owner of the antique painting shop and offered a price of $280,000 for a work that he directly asked for, which made Fang Yi cry and laugh.

Fang Yi looked at the shopkeeper and said, "The price of this work is one or two hundred thousand dollars, and you can actually offer two hundred thousand dollars!" ”。

This is an ancient painting, if no one grabs a work that is a level higher than this level in the auction house, it will be 10,000 US dollars, not to mention 280,000 to 20,000 Fang Yi doesn't want it, and 10,000 US dollars is a price that Fang Yi can accept.

The reason why Fang Yi bought such a work is that when he is ready to do nothing, he will 'paint' something, not to mention taking it out to buy money, but mainly to please himself! This Fang Yi fell in love with such a small ancient painting, and the only thing he liked was that it was 'old enough'! Other things, Fang Yi had no interest in evaluating at all.

"I know who you are!" After the shopkeeper said a word to Fang Yi, he carefully put the work he was holding back into a box.

Michael looked at the shopkeeper's movements and said jokingly to the shopkeeper: "You can know the level of this work at a glance, which master's early painting work are you going to rely on?" ”。

"Anyway, anyway, what Mr. Fang has taken a fancy to, there is no harm in being careful, and there is nothing wrong with not understanding it and taking it for a good inspection!" The shopkeeper put away the painting, glanced at Fang Yi, and returned his gaze to Michael's body and said.

"In my opinion, you can only send this painting to Sofoby and then give it to Fang to see, because others may not be able to see such things!" Michael said happily to the store.

Michael is referring to Fang Yi's distinction between Vermeer's works, this story is a bit amazing, two identical works have been seen and tested countless times, it is better for Fang Yi to look at it like this. Now the appraisal circle wants to find someone who is too powerful like Fang Yi, it is really a little too difficult. Of course, it was mainly Michael who wanted to make fun of the owner of the small painting shop.

The owner of the painting shop actually nodded when he heard this: "If necessary, I don't mind sending it to Mr. Fang to see!" I believe that Mr. Fang will definitely tell me the real answer! ”。

Fang Yi smiled directly when he heard this: "If I ask you all the things here, the money just sent for inspection will cost you a lot!" The real answer is that I can tell you right now, this is an ancient painting, and I think I wanted to buy it on a whim. If you want to keep it, keep it."

Listening to Fang Yi's words, the shopkeeper couldn't help but laugh twice.

Fang Yi turned his head to look at Michael and said, "How is it, are you interested in anything?" ”。 This means that if we are not interested, let's change the store.

Michael laughed and followed Fang Yi out of the door, but in the next two painting shops, Fang Yi was recognized at a glance as soon as he entered the door, or the owner or clerk saw that Fang Yi was a Chinese and directly opened his mouth to ask if Fang Yi was Fang Yi.

After getting it down a few times, Fang Yi felt that he was really not suitable for running a place like a small gallery of a painting shop anymore, how could everyone know himself, even if he didn't know it, he knew to ask when he saw his long Chinese face.

Every time Fang Yi didn't buy anything, Michael was also empty-handed.

"In the future, if you want to buy some other people's paintings, you have to dress up with makeup!" Fang Yi stood at the door of his room and said to Michael. Fang Yi decided not to go shopping in the future.

"You can also ask someone else to buy it for you!" Michael joked at Fang Yi.

The two of them were just about to enter the door, when they heard the door next to them open, and Bobile's head sticked out: "Fang! There's just a piece of work for you to see! ”。

Fang Yi was stunned when he heard this, this is almost over, what else do you want to watch? (To be continued......)
