Looking up at the painting hanging on the wall above the door, Fang Yi couldn't help but rub his eyes, and then glanced at Menzel, which was still displayed in his mind.

Beronica looked at Fang Yi's movements and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?" Staring at such a copied work, I was so fascinated! ”。

"I think this work is okay!" Fang Yi listened to Belonica's words and said with a smile. As an oil painter, now Fang Yi has guessed that there is another work under the surface of this painting, and the work that is hidden by the most superficial painting is the real work of Menzel! It's just that Fang Yi can't tell whether the bottom layer is Menzel's oil painting or a sketch.

The chubby middle-aged female boss was very happy to hear Fang Yi's words, and hurriedly walked to Fang Yi's side, looked up at the three paintings on the wall like Fang Yi, and opened her mouth and said, "These are all my grandfather's works!" My grandfather was also an artist. I still hear his story from my father, my grandfather loved art since he was a child, and this painting was made by him when he was middle-aged! ”。

Hearing the female boss say this, Fang Yi couldn't help but turn his head to look at the female boss, and thought in his heart: Look at your beauty! Your grandfather's work? That mess out there is probably your grandfather's thing! Inside is Menzel, known as the greatest German artist after Dürer, and after his death, the Kaiser personally hosted his funeral, which is equivalent to that of a German field marshal!

"Since it's your grandfather's work, why are you hanging him here?" Fang Yi opened his mouth to ask the female boss, thought for a while, and then asked, "Is this for sale?" ”。

Listening to the female owner of the gallery saying that it was his grandfather's work, Fang Yi couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, afraid that people would not sell it, but he couldn't bite the big fat meat in his mouth, so he wouldn't be able to sleep well when he went home tonight.

"It's for sale!" The female boss opened her mouth to Fang Yi and said.

When Fang Yi heard this, he put his heart back in his stomach. Even if it's for sale, it's easy to say. Thinking of this, he opened his mouth to the female boss and said, "Then can you take him down and let me see it?" ”。

"Absolutely!" After speaking, the landlady took the ladder next to her. took down the painting and handed it to Fang Yi.

Fang Yi took the painting and looked at it carefully. This painting is not very large, and when he got it in his hand, Fang Yi roughly deduced it, about fifty centimeters long and thirty centimeters wide, judging from the painting on the surface, it is a landscape painting, with trees, small rivers and meadows, and some figures in the distance, two or three cows.

Looking at Fang Yi holding the painting in his hand, Beronica stretched out her head and looked at the painting in Fang Yi's hand. After looking at it for a while, he asked, "What attracted you to this painting?" ”。 Beronica also understands art.,I really don't see anything good about this painting.,The whole work is in the style of imitation Menzel.,But this imitation! I can't really say it, at most there are two points of similarity.

Of course, Fang Yi couldn't say that there was a layer painting underneath. That's the real thing about Mencaier! I had to casually perfunctory: "I just like it a little, and I want to buy it back and hang it on my bedside!" ”。

The landlady was very happy to hear it. happily told Fang Yi the story: "Speaking of my grandfather. There is also a deed, when the Germans occupied Paris, they were also played by my grandfather! At that time, the Germans were searching for some works of art for the Nazi demon king to see! And my grandfather painted some tricks on these invaders in the style of these masters, and then it was reported that my grandfather had these paintings, and the Gestapo Wen Xun came to my grandfather's house at that time. Who knew that it turned out to be all imitations! Disappointed, my father used to tell us this story when he was alive! Every time I talk with a smile on my face, I am very proud! ”。

Listen to the female boss tell the story. Fang Yi couldn't help but look at the female boss and smiled, if what the female boss said was true, then this grandfather is not the work of a legendary master, it is really the work of a master, but this grandfather has painted another layer on it.

For the story of the female boss, Fang Yi believes half of it, Comrade Lao Xi really likes Menzel's works very much, if the Germans who occupy Paris know the way, whoever has Menzel's works, then someone will come to the door to 'buy'! It is estimated that this grandfather painted a layer of his own painting on it, also to protect this work.

It's just that I don't know what Lu Dao is for Lu and I didn't tell my juniors, and this work was hung on the wall at the door. But this is none of Fang Yi's business, if others know that this is Menzel's true handiwork, then what else is Fang Yi's business! Even if Fang Yi knew that there was a Menzel for sale here, the price would be that he couldn't afford to sell Fang Yi's entire body as a coolie now!

Fang Yi listened to the female boss's enthusiastic speech, and then asked, "How much is this painting!" ”。

Hearing Fang Yi's question, the female boss looked at Fang Yi's face and opened her mouth to say, "Two hundred euros!" ”。

"So expensive?" Beronica listened and said, "It's too expensive."

"Can it be cheaper?" Fang Yi also opened his mouth and said, as soon as he heard this price, Fang Yi knew that he was really a layman to buy something, and his face was directly revealed that he wanted this painting very much, that is to say, this chubby female boss saw through Fang Yi's mind and opened his mouth directly. There is no painting in the entire small gallery that exceeds 100 euros, and now this painting is indeed 200 euros, obviously wanting to sharpen the knife for Fang Yi to come so suddenly!

The landlady shook her head and said, "After all, this painting is my grandfather's work, and if it sells too low, I might as well keep it as a souvenir!" Besides, this painting is almost 100 years old, so it's a bit of a history! Two hundred euros couldn't be lower! ”。

"It's really too high!" Beronica glanced at Fang Yi and shook her head and said.

Fang Yi grabbed the painting in his hand and didn't mean to let go, let alone two hundred euros, even two thousand euros Fang Yi would give it directly to others, but in order to show his sense of bargaining, he still twisted it twice: "It's cheaper!" Although he said so, he didn't mean to let go of the painting in his hand, and his heart was beating all the time, and he kept thinking in his heart: Menzel! Menzel!

Look at Fang Yi's performance, where is the chubby female boss willing to let go, if she can't even see this little bit of a painting that has been sold for so long, what kind of gallery will she make! He directly shook his head and said to Fang Yi: "It can't be cheaper, two hundred euros is already the lowest price!" After speaking, he wanted to reach out and take the painting in Fang Yi's hand.

How can Fang Yi be willing to give! He put the painting under his arm, and while holding his wallet, he said, "That's two hundred euros!" ”。

When I took out my wallet, I counted it. There was only one hundred and eighty-three euros in it, and he took the ticket and said to the boss: "That's all, or one hundred and eighty-three euros!" I've got it all for you, okay? ”。

"No way!" The female boss shook her head and pointed to the bank card in Fang Yi's wallet and said, "We can swipe the card here!" ”。

Beronica watched from the side as Fang Yi quickly pulled out the card and handed it to the boss, shaking her head with a smile: "Fang! You're not a businessman! ”。

Fang Yi looked at Belonica with a wry smile: "My sister said the same thing!" After saying that, he handed the card in his hand to the chubby shopkeeper. I watched the shopkeeper take the card with a smile and walk towards the credit card machine.

With the painting in his armpit, Fang Yi completed the formalities.

"What more do you want?" In view of the fact that I sold my grandfather's painting for the first time today, the shopkeeper looked at Fang Yi who was stupid in his eyes and said enthusiastically: "If you like other works, I can give you one or two euros cheaper!" ”。

Fang Yi looked at the female boss looking at him as if he was looking at him, and suddenly a thought popped up in his heart: What if I told her that there was a real copy of Menzel in it? Cheaper for a euro or two? You might as well keep the money and buy tissues and find a place to howl at the top of your throat. You scumbag!

didn't wait for Fang Yi to speak. The female boss herself remembered: "The two paintings next to the wall are also my grandfather's works, in addition to these two, I have some works left by my grandfather that have not been hung out, are you interested in taking a look at them again?" ”。

As soon as he heard this, Fang Yi held his Menzel and nodded repeatedly: "Take a look!" Look! ”。

Listened to Fang Yi's words. The shopkeeper went directly into the small door behind the counter, and after five minutes, he directly dragged out a large box for Fang Yi. There are more than 20 works in it, large and small.

Fang Yi squatted next to the box. I was still holding the painting I had just bought on my elbows, so it was a little inconvenient to squat.

"I'll hold it for you!" Beronica looked at Fang Yi's appearance and opened her mouth to say.

Fang Yi was stunned for two seconds, then handed the painting to Beronica, and after saying thank you, he began to look at the painting. At this glance, Fang Yi praised the gallery owner's grandfather a little, this person painted well, although it was not enough to leave his name in his mind. But it's much better than the stalls outside. There are some good imitations in there, but there's nothing in them! This made Fang Yi a little disappointed. Although the painting above is from the same person as Menzel, the painting I bought is too stiff and deliberate. The works in front of me now show a rigorous and responsible attitude, and both the technique and the content can still be said in the past.

"How much does this painting cost?" Fang Yi picked the largest of them and asked the shopkeeper.

The boss looked at Fang Yi and happily recommended it: "This one is much better than the one you bought, and it is much bigger, three hundred and fifty euros!" What I'm giving you is the lowest price, and it couldn't be less! ”。

"Don't!" Fang Yi shook his head directly after hearing this time, put down the painting in his hand and said.

Belch! The female boss was about to take Jiao again, and when she heard Fang Yi's words, she looked at Fang Yi and said, "These works are better than the ones you bought!" ”。

"I kind of like these works! But three hundred and fifty euros is too expensive," Fang Yi opened his mouth and said. Do you know that these works are better than what I bought? Do you know that there is Menzel underneath the road I bought! Below these paintings of your grandfather are the foundations laid by your grandfather, and there is nothing?

Seeing Fang Yi stand up from the edge of the box, the female boss asked directly, "Then how much do you have?" "Today, I finally found someone who appreciates my grandfather's works, and I have to sell two more pieces, because my grandfather's works are about to become a disaster at home!

"There's nothing that impresses me too much! You still have your grandfather's other works no! If there is a consensus, I don't care about the two hundred euros! Fang Yi opened his mouth and said, now Fang Yi was thinking in his mind: Your grandfather should also cover a few more pictures to add more fun to us!

Hearing Fang Yi say this, the shopkeeper became happy again: "Yes! But not here, if you have time, go to my rented warehouse and take a look! There are quite a few paintings of my grandfather there! ”。

"I always have time!" Fang Yi immediately said, he picked up a picture of Menzel such a thing, Fang Yi definitely has time to do it, I'm afraid he won't have the opportunity to spend such time!

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately touched a piece of paper, wrote down the address and handed it to Fang Yi: "Come to this place at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and I will take you to see the painting!" ”。

"Hmm!" Fang Yi glanced at the address on the paper, folded the paper and put it in his wallet. Then he took the painting from Beronica's hand and left the shop to continue browsing the gallery! While strolling around, Fang Yi carefully looked at the paintings posed in each gallery. However, the arm socket is always tightly clipped to the one I just bought, not only one arm, but the other hand is also placed in the corner of the painting, which is really a very precious protection of this work that looks like a mess in Beronica.

It was a pity for Fang Yi, but it was very reasonable that probably because today's luck ran out, Fang Yi never saw anything he liked and was worth digging out of his wallet.

After walking around like this, the most positive person was not Beronica at the beginning, but Fang Yi, and when it was time to leave, Fang Yi walked briskly with a happy smile on his face.

After getting into the car and putting the painting in the back seat, Fang Yi said directly to Beronica: "Europe is such a good place!" ”。 Beronica was stunned for a while, not understanding why Fang Yi suddenly said something. (To be continued......)
