Sunday, Gonggu Temple.

Ren Bufan came early in the morning and sat here until about two or three o'clock in the afternoon, painting only thirteen sketch portraits and earning 260 yuan.

Compared with yesterday's 600 yuan, it has shrunk by more than half.

It seems that there is no beauty driving effect of Shen Qingqing, and her sketch portrait alone is still a little insufficient.

Today's tourists don't seem to be very interested in spending, or not very interested in sketching portraits.

However, it is very exaggerated to earn more than 800 in two days, after all, the parents' monthly salary in the factory is only 1200.

Seeing that it's almost time, it's time to go home and get ready, and then ride back to the school dormitory.

When I was packing up my painting tools, I saw an old man in a Mao suit, holding a portable teacup in his hand, and a stubble beard standing behind him, and he didn't know why he was shaking his head slightly.

This old man seems to have been there yesterday, and when he was painting, he was watching the excitement from the sidelines.

"Uncle, do you want to draw one?" Standing beside him, I don't know if I'm interested, Ren Bufan asked.

The old man glanced at his painting tools and shook his head.

Since he is not a customer, Ren Bufan continues to clean up.

At this moment, the old man behind him asked, "You can only sketch?"

"Huh?" Ren Bufan stopped his movements and looked back at the old man, "What?"

"I said you only sketch?" the old man repeated.

"No! Because of the improvement of painting skills, what he has mastered is the painting ability of the entire system, and Ren Bufan naturally has the confidence to say this.

Each time he improves a skill, his understanding of painting deepens, and a lot of painting knowledge and experience will appear in his mind inexplicably.

"Can ink painting?" asked the old man.

"Yes, but I don't have a brush or ink ready. ”

"Will oil paintings?"

"Yes!"

"Then why do you just sketch, because you can't draw well?"

"No, sketching is fast, and it's easy. Oil painting takes a long time. Ren Bufan replied, "I paint an oil painting, and I can sketch about three paintings." ”

"If your oil painting is at this level, it will definitely sell better than sketching. ”

"Really?" Ren Bufan looked at the old man in front of him curiously, "You know painting?"

"I know how to appreciate!" said the old man indifferently, "your sketch is quite good, but it is still a little hot." Of course, it is okay to reach this level at a young age. ”

Hearing this, Ren Bufan looked at the old man seriously, and then asked, "What do you do? Could it be that it is also related to painting?"

"I'm just a layman, a very vulgar kind!" said the old man, "If you want to paint and make money, copy those famous ink paintings and oil paintings." Or paint some landscapes yourself, the canvas size is larger, the painting is more beautiful, and selling one is worth painting here for a day. Of course, there has to be a way, otherwise no matter how good the painting is, it will not sell. ”

Ren Bufan's eyes lit up, and he quickly turned around and asked respectfully: "Old man, can you point me out......?"

"I can't help you if I say that!" said the old man casually, "but you can go to the galleries in the city, and maybe they will let you sell them on consignment." Or go to some hotels and restaurants by yourself, anyway, it is a commercial place to sell. However, if you don't draw well, people probably won't want it. ”

"Is that really more profitable than sketching?" Ren Bufan asked.

"Not necessarily!" the old man shrugged, "to see if there is a market for your paintings, and whether they can make people want to buy them." It's possible that you'll find a way to sell a painting more than if you were here for two days. It's also possible that one won't sell, so it's better to sketch here. ”

"Doesn't that mean you didn't say that?"

The old man smiled indifferently and glanced at Ren Bufan: "Still studying?"

How did you suddenly turn to this topic?

Ren Bufan was slightly stunned, and then nodded: "Senior year." ”

"Preparing to go to a university of fine arts?"

"Not sure. ”

The old man nodded, and turned to leave.

What's the situation? Halfway through the story, you're going to leave all of a sudden?

Ren Bufan hesitated, put down the painting tool and chased after him: "That...... Excuse me, what should I do if I want to make more money as soon as possible, and what paintings are more popular?"

The old man stopped and looked back at him. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly showed a meaningful smile: "I am a layman, and I know all very vulgar things. I know there's a kind of painting that sells well, are you sure you want to know?"

"Is it illegal?" Ren Bufan heard this, and was faintly worried in his heart.

"What can you do by drawing a picture?" the old man squinted and smiled.

"But what you just said about copying famous paintings to sell them for money has a so-called copyright problem, right? Strictly speaking, there is a possibility of breaking the law. "Although Ren Bufan is new to painting, after all, people who have been reborn for a lifetime still understand some things.

The old man just laughed, and then said, "I don't see that you still understand something." ”

"I want to make money, but I don't want to break the law. Ren Bufan said, "What did you just say is the best-selling painting? Are you sure you don't break the law? If you don't break the law, can you tell me what it is?"

"Do you really want to hear it?" said the old man.

"I really want to hear it!"

The old man looked around, and after making sure that no one was there, he approached and whispered: "If you are really good at oil painting, try painting fruit girls, and it is guaranteed to sell well!"

"Uh!!" Ren Bufan was stunned and looked at the old man with wide eyes.

I thought he might be a master just now, and when he heard this, he was instantly divided into the type of old and unserious.

It's too exaggerated to let yourself draw a fruit girl!

I didn't expect this old man to look very decent on the outside, but he turned out to be an old pervert, and sure enough, people can't look good.

"What kind of eyes are you?" Feeling Ren Bufan's contempt, the old man cut off, "Do you want to be crooked?"

"What do you want to be crooked?" Ren Bufan pretended not to understand.

"You are so conservative in your thinking about learning to paint? Later, when you came to the Academy of Fine Arts, some fruit models asked you to paint, maybe you yourself will have a chance to strip naked and let people paint!haha~" The old man laughed.

Ren Bufan's face was full of black lines, this old man was indeed not serious.

"Adam and Eve know, right? World famous paintings, they don't have any clothes. The sleeping Venus knows, right? Do you know that there are a lot of fruit girls without clothes in the world's famous paintings? Do you understand this best-seller? It looks good without clothes, and men will buy it!"

"Excuse me!" Ren Bufan turned around and left directly, not wanting to listen to the old man anymore.

"I'll tell you the truth, the oil painting fruit girl definitely sells well! If you paint well, maybe I'll buy it too." The old man watched Ren Bufan pack up the painting cart and leave, and shouted in the back.

Riding home from the Gonggu Temple, I put my painting tools in my room and counted some money in my hand.

Earn 260 today, plus the change left from yesterday, you can still make up 300, and you can generate three skill books.

The remaining 9 yuan and 5 cents are the money for breakfast next week.

Thinking of the words of the old man in the Gonggu Temple just now, Ren Bufan agreed that there must be a market for the fruit girl painting, as if there are many similar ones in the world's famous paintings, which are very popular.

But that's all art, and the old man just now definitely didn't propose it from an artistic point of view, it's too obscene!

Then I can paint fruit girls from an artistic point of view, is it okay?

Quickly shook his head and drove this idea out, although it can be in the name of art, but in the future, people pointed to themselves and said - that is Ren Bufan, who is famous for painting fruit girls, and it is too embarrassing to make so much money from painting fruit girls, right?

No, no, no! I am also the one who has mastered the golden finger.

In other words, the old man also said before that he copied the world's famous paintings, or painted ink landscapes or something?

Copying famous paintings for money seems to involve copyright issues, because I don't know much about them, so I skip them directly.

Make money by painting ink landscapes and oil painting landscapes?

The old man seems to say that he can sell it on consignment in the gallery, or sell it to hotels, restaurants and other business places himself.

Otherwise, don't generate skills for the 300 yuan, and you won't need it now anyway.

Prepare all the tools and materials for ink painting and oil painting, try to buy the cheapest one, the money should be enough, right?

Give it a try next weekend, and if you can't sell it for money, it's a big deal to keep sketching.

After thinking about it, pack your school bag, bring everything you want to bring, and set off for school.

With his size, to be honest, riding a bike is quite tiring.

After having fitness skills, the proficiency on the road continued to increase, and when he arrived at the school, he was directly promoted to level 2, and he exceeded more than half of his proficiency, and he went to level 3.

Will this continue to increase proficiency too quickly, resulting in continuous loss of fat, and rapid weight loss to make people see the problem?

You have to control yourself a little bit and minimize your activity. Fitness skills have to be improved slowly, and losing weight in an instant will definitely be suspected. After all, it is impossible for a normal person to do it!

Locked the car in the school parking lot and hurried to the dormitory.

Fortunately, the other students who returned to school along the way did not react even when they saw them head-on.

Back in the dormitory, Zhao Yan, Yuan Gang, and Zhou Zheng didn't come back, only the other two male classmates who were not very familiar with each other and rarely spoke were reading.

They were more sensitive than the students outside, and they were curious to take a few more glances when Ren Bufan came in.

One of them couldn't help but say, "Are you thin?"

Often in a dormitory, even if you don't talk much, you can still see the changes clearly.

In the eyes of the other party, Ren Bufan, who went home for two days, really made people feel thinner.

Sure enough, the weight loss effect is too good, which is also a problem.

Ren Bufan could only pretend to be the same as before, and responded very casually: "I have exercised this month, and I have changed my clothes, I will indeed feel like this." ”

The other party really believed this explanation.

After all, they are not so familiar with each other, and they rarely talk to each other.

After Ren Bufan finished speaking, the man nodded and continued to read.

It's gone!

But the next thing is the biggest trouble, when Zhao Yan, Yuan Gang, and Zhou Zheng come back, will they believe this sentence?

They know themselves second only to themselves.

Even the classmates in the dormitory who rarely talk can see that they have lost weight, and the three lost friends must be more intuitive.

I hope we can fool the past, or at least not let them get into the nitty-gritty of this.
