Chapter 18: A Painting

Entering the restaurant, the two of them casually found a window seat.

Although this is the fringe area of Ming'an City, the two of them came to a chain of barbecue restaurants, and the decoration inside is very luxurious, and there are many people.

The waiter was very enthusiastic, handed over the menu, and then began to serve tea and water, and served free side dishes.

Zhong Ming flipped through the menu casually and found that it was really expensive.

An ordinary serving of meat costs thirty or forty, and there are not many slices from the picture, and the photos on the menu are deliberately large, giving people the illusion of a lot of meat, which may actually be a plug between teeth.

Zhong Ming calculated a little, if he paid for this meal himself, maybe all the hundreds of yuan in his card would have to be reimbursed.

Jiang Wanna frowned when she saw Zhong Mingzhi, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just order whatever you want, I'll treat you." ”

Zhong Ming closed the menu: "It's better for you to order, I don't know any of these dishes." ”

Jiang Wanna must have been here to eat, and after flipping through the menu, she called the waiter over, ordered a few different grilled meats, and then ordered some other side dishes.

Although it is a barbecue restaurant, some other dishes and snacks are also good, so Jiang Wanna didn't order all the meat, but also asked for some special dishes.

The meat is served quickly, it is all raw meat, and it has to be freshly grilled. But it was obvious that Zhong Ming and Jiang Wanna would not use the barbecue oven in front of them.

Jiang Wanna raised her hand: "Waiter, please help roast it." ”

In this restaurant, the waiter usually helps to grill the meat, and the waiter can only ignore the customer if he asks for his own barbecue. It's just that there seem to be a lot of people today, so the waiters are a little understaffed.

A slightly chubby little brother hurriedly ran over and began to roast meat for two people. Zhong Ming saw this little brother when he entered the door, the clothes he wore were different from other waiters, and he should be a foreman or a small leader in this store.

The little brother took out his business card while skillfully roasting meat: "Is it the first time you two have come to our store?" I'm really sorry, there are a lot of guests today, please bear with me if you are sluggish. I forgot to introduce myself, I am the manager of this store, my name is Wu Yang, and this is my business card. ”

Wu Yang directly handed the business card to Jiang Wanna.

Jiang Wanna reached out and took it aside, just smiled and nodded, and didn't answer his words.

Wu Yang continued to roast the meat skillfully, and the roasted meat was sandwiched by him onto the rack on the oven and placed one by one.

"Alright, let's eat!" Jiang Wanna said.

Zhong Ming picked up his chopsticks and sandwiched a slice of barbecued meat, put it in the dipping bowl in front of him and dipped it, and then put it in his mouth.

The taste of the meat is still quite good, the only problem is that it is expensive.

Wu Yang said with some hesitation: "Sir, that's the case, have you seen this little brush?" This dipping sauce is dipped directly with a brush and then brushed onto the meat, generally do not dip directly into the bowl. ”

Zhong Ming was stunned for a moment, only then did he find that there was a small brush hanging on his left hand, according to Wu Yang, it should be a small brush to brush the meat with dipping sauce, not a direct dip like him.

"Oh, got it." Zhong Ming felt a little inexplicable, it seems that the world is also poor and particular about eating barbecue, a bunch of inexplicable rules, how to dip the sauce and have to prepare a small brush?

On second thought, it's probably because the barbecue is too expensive, so it's so cute......

Jiang Wanna smiled: "It's okay, you can eat as much as you want, you don't have to pay so much attention to it." ”

Wu Yang didn't say anything on the surface, but in fact, he still despised Zhong Ming a little, a big man can't eat barbecue, and eating will make the girl treat, what a failure.

Of course, Wu Yang will definitely not show it, he has already become a manager, and it is impossible to be so ignorant.

Wu Yang roasted some of the meat and went to the side to work, Zhong Ming and Jiang Wanna chatted while eating, basically talking about things in college. Coincidentally, the two of them are in the same major, only one level apart, but they didn't know each other in college.

In this chat, I found that there are really a lot of mutual friends.

The barbecue that had been roasted before was quickly finished, and Wu Yang ran back and continued to roast the second wave.

The two of them had nothing to do when they were waiting for the barbecue, Jiang Wanna activated the bracelet and planned to read the news casually on the Internet.

"Huh? The fire is a new painting! Jiang Wanna said in surprise.

Zhong Ming didn't react: "Who?" ”

Jiang Wanna said: "Fire Emblem, a very famous painter on Weibo, haven't you heard of it?" ”

"He, I heard it." Zhong Ming knows that this person is a very famous painter on Weibo, and he can be regarded as a small Internet celebrity, who often posts some personal works on Weibo and has many fans.

Although Zhong Ming's level is relatively average, he is also a celebrity in the art circle of this world, and many younger artists will follow his Weibo in order to learn painting skills from him, or to see his new works for the first time.

Wu Yang, who was barbecuing meat, was also refreshed when he heard the name "Fire Emblem": "Hey? Are you also concerned about Huoda? Are you art students? ”

Jiang Wanna nodded: "Yes, we are both art majors at Ming'an University." ”

"Art major! Disrespectful, disrespectful! The smile on Wu Yang's face was even more, "Actually, I also wanted to study art when I was in school, but unfortunately my grades were poor and I didn't get in." But I didn't give up, and then I signed up for an art class on my own, and now it's a beginner. Did you see our store logo when you walked in? That's what I designed it for. ”

After knowing that the two of them were art students, Wu Yang became more enthusiastic and specially gave a side dish.

Zhong Ming also saw this painting on the bracelet, and the name of the painting was "Fearless", which was an ancient theme.

In the center of the picture is a general in armor and a horizontal sword, surrounded by a vast number of soldiers, surrounding him. But this general is heroic and heroic, calm and calm in the vast number of enemies, highlighting a fearless momentum.

Fire Emblem: "Fearless, a collaboration with Phantom Dance Studios, welcome to see it." ”

Phantom Dance Studio is a well-known game development studio in China, and the games developed are mainly based on ancient themes.

Newcomers like Jiang Wanna, after graduation, basically go to game companies or studios to work, but artists like Fire Emblem who have already mixed up and are famous can come out as freelancers independently, because they are famous, and many companies or studios will take the initiative to find them to ask for manuscripts, and sometimes an original painting is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

This painting of the Fire Emblem is a work contributed to the Phantom Dance Studio, and it should be used as game material in the future.

It's a win-win for artists and game developers, especially for developers, who can get noticed for their games before they go on sale.

Zhong Ming looked at this painting, the composition, color, details, etc. are all very good, after all, Fire Emblem is a famous painter, and his strength must be there.

It's just that Zhong Ming vaguely feels that this painting is a bit problematic and a little weird, but at first glance, he can't tell what is wrong.
