Chapter 5: Pigment Shops
After Zhang Heng and Feng Bao came to Chunfeng Building, they found a place to sit down and ordered some food.
Feng Bao picked up a lamb chop and gnawed it, and said at the same time, "Brother, what are you doing here?" What business is there to do here. ”
"Of course there is business, but only if you meet the teacher."
Zhang Heng also had an idea in his heart.
"If you want to see the teacher, the girl, that's not a short answer! You have to spend ten times to spread the word, and as for whether the girl sees you or not, it depends on what the person means. ”
Feng Bao explained.
Zhang Heng thought for a while and said, "No matter what, I have to try, give money!" ”
Hearing this, Feng Bao was also stunned and said, "Brother, I don't have any money!" If my father knows, he will have to break my legs, didn't you just get ten times! ”
Zhang Heng spread his hands and said: "I have this money to support my family, I can't risk this, for you, it's just a month's living expenses, our brothers, who is with whom!" You say yes or no. ”
"My little cui, my dreams!"
Feng Bao looked at the money in his hand, with a reluctant face, and finally handed it over to a maid.
In the upstairs room, Master Li was sitting on the table, staring intently at the picture of the Eight Horses.
At this time, Xiaoya walked in and said, "Miss, that Zhang Heng Gongzi said that he wanted to see you, do you want to see him?" ”
"Of course I want to see you, please ask Zhang Gongzi to come up."
After Master Li heard the news, he somehow swelled up with a trace of anticipation in his heart.
Xiao Ya immediately turned around and walked out.
"My young lady, please go up."
When Zhang Heng was waiting for a reply, he saw Xiaoya walking down, and after finishing speaking, he turned his head and left, with a look of disdain.
Seeing this, Feng Bao also muttered: "What's wrong with this girl, she doesn't seem to like us!" ”
Zhang Heng smiled slightly, he didn't care about this girl at all.
When Master Li saw them come in, he immediately invited them to sit down and said, "Gongzi Zhang, I heard that you have something to do with your concubine, I don't know what it is?" ”
Zhang Heng looked at her and said directly: "Girl, I want to cooperate with you to make a deal and make some money, I don't know if the girl is willing?" ”
"Of course I'm willing to make money, I don't know what kind of business Childe wants to do?"
Master Li couldn't help but be stunned when he heard his request, he didn't expect that such a thing as doing business could come out of the mouth of a person who was full of poetry and books.
"Zhang Gongzi, it is in vain that you read poetry and books, and you don't study hard to gain fame, but you study this way of doing business, which is really insulting."
Xiaoya on the side muttered disdainfully.
"Xiaoya, don't be rude, Childe, please forgive me, I don't know what business Childe wants to do?"
Master Li hurriedly glared at Xiao Ya and asked her to be honest.
Zhang Heng sat down, got closer, and said: "Girl, I paint a picture every day, and then you hang it outside your window, don't reveal that I painted it, and after a while, we will auction these words, and then divide the account into three or seven." ”
Master Li thought for a while and said, "Childe, you want to attract people's attention, can you do your painting?" ”
"Of course, you'll just have to wait to collect the money then."
Zhang Heng's face was full of confident smiles.
At this time, Xiaoya interjected again and said, "Why is my young lady three and you seven?" ”
Zhang Heng glanced at her and said, "The market is like this, I can also go to other places, it doesn't have to be your young lady, it's just that I am familiar with your young lady, let her earn this money." ”
"Then how much money can my young lady make?"
Xiaoya asked.
"At least 2,000 times"
Zhang Heng stretched out two fingers.
"Two thousand? Really? ”
Hearing this number, Xiaoya couldn't help but be stunned.
Zhang Heng also smiled slightly, if he couldn't make this money, wouldn't he be a painter in the 21st century in vain.
"Since Childe is so confident, then I'll do Childe a favor."
Master Li nodded in agreement.
Immediately, Zhang Heng and the others also left Chunfeng Building, and agreed to send the painting over early tomorrow morning.
When he got outside, Feng Bao looked at him and asked, "Brother, can you really earn a few thousand?" ”
Zhang Heng nodded and said, "Of course, you can't still have candy to eat, go, I still have to buy some paint." ”
"I know there's a nice store, I'll take you there."
Feng Bao hurriedly followed.
After a while, the two of them walked into a shop, and saw various colors of paint in the small compartment inside.
As soon as Zhang Heng entered, he smelled a familiar smell, and then glanced at these pigments, knowing that there are two kinds of pigments here, one is made of minerals, called stone color, and the other is vegetable pigment.
"Childe, what do you need? Our store has a wide range of varieties and the most abundant colors. ”
The shopkeeper walked over with a smile on his face.
"How do you sell your paint?"
After Zhang Heng looked at it, he wanted to understand the market.
"Childe, the paint we have here is all five hundred wen and one tael."
The owner introduced.
Hearing this price, Zhang Heng was also stunned, five hundred wen a tael, it's not cheap! It seems that in ancient times, there were conditions for wanting to draw a picture, and ordinary people couldn't play this line at all.
The shopkeeper saw him hesitate and said, "Childe, our paints here are the best, and many literati in the city come to our store to buy them." ”
Zhang Heng thought about it, he had five yuan in his hand, and he couldn't buy much for five hundred wen and one tael!
At this time, Feng Bao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you can buy it with confidence, don't worry about money." ”
"Good Brother"
Zhang Heng patted him on the shoulder, and then went to choose the paint.
Feng Bao watched his fingers keep dotting on various paints, and suddenly felt a little dizzy in his head.
In the end, Zhang Heng walked out with a basket of paints with a smile on his face, and these paints took six or seven times.
Feng Bao, on the other hand, followed behind and counted the last few copper plates on his hand, and he was about to cry.
After returning home, Zhang Heng also walked into the house and told Luluo not to disturb him, now he should concentrate on painting, so that he could hand over the painting to Master Li early tomorrow morning.
Immediately, he also took out the paint he bought and blended it, and then thought about what kind of painting he should paint to be a blockbuster, painting this thing is a matter of opinion, famous people painting can be said to be art, no matter how good a person is painted, it is the same as a piece of, worthless, so this time his painting must be different.
After careful consideration, Zhang Heng finally decided to paint a 3D painting, which will definitely cause a sensation as soon as this kind of painting comes out.
Then he picked up his paintbrush and drew on a huge wooden board, very attentive, and completely immersed in it.
