Chapter 76: Selling Paintings 3
This time, the man didn't speak, just looked at Tan Ran.
"Do you want to see the paintings?"
The shopkeeper smiled: "The little lady is really a good tongue, we are in the back hall to talk about business, why don't we move?" ”
Tan Ran refused, opened the painting in the package, spread it on the counter, and showed it to the shopkeeper.
"It's okay, the shopkeeper will see if you can accept this painting in your store."
The shopkeeper paced past, squinting his eyes.
Hey, that's ordinary.
This is his first feeling, and then take a closer look, and feel that the picture is really interesting and cute, the content of the painting is very simple, it is the picture in the daily field vegetable garden, the old hen at home is grabbing food, I don't know when the with a belly gave birth to a litter of cubs, the original body was quite rich and was a group of puppies scrambling to pounce under the body to drink breast milk, getting thinner, the dog's eyes are gentle and a little sad, as if expecting the puppies to grow up and afraid of them growing up, but a bit like people.
Tan Ran looked at the shopkeeper and didn't react, thinking that he was pondering the words of refusal, so he rolled up the paper, turned around and walked out the door.
The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped people: "Hey, don't worry, little lady, you have something to say." ”
Tan Ran looked at him suspiciously: "You want to buy paintings?" ”
The shopkeeper half-dragged people to the back hall and said, "I look at the little lady's painting is a little interesting, let's go to the back and talk." ”
Tan Ran looked at the surrounding doors and windows, and the people leading the way in front felt that they could save themselves, so they also relaxed their steps and walked behind.
The shopkeeper asked Tan Ran to take out the painting again, and this time he looked at it more carefully.
Tan Ran was not in a hurry, waiting for him to take his time.
After a while, the shopkeeper looked at Tan Ran and asked, "This painting is really painted by the little lady?" ”
"Undoubtedly."
The shopkeeper glanced at Tan Ran and pondered for a while before he spoke: "These paintings, it seems that the painter needs at least eight or nine years of painting work, the little lady doesn't look big, did she start drawing with a pen at the age of two or three?" ”
Tan Ran reined in his expression when he heard this, and became serious: "The shopkeeper's false praise, the little girl started to learn painting at the age of seven, and it has been six years since then. ”
In fact, she started to learn to paint when she was fifteen years old, and when she had nothing to do, she hid in her house and painted, and at that time she didn't feel tired when she could paint day and night.
"Haha, I can't see it, the little lady is very talented." The shopkeeper smiled and asked, "I don't know which lady the little lady is, the little old man has been in the store for many years, and he seems to have never seen it." ”
Tan Ran paid more attention and said, "I have settled with my parents since I was a child, and I only came back recently, do you want to buy paintings?" ”
The shopkeeper laughed: "The little lady is also an acute person, buy it, I want these paintings." ”
This time it was Tan Ran's turn to be surprised, originally she thought she was good at the beginning, of course, it is also very good now, but even two better bookstores have rejected her paintings, which is completely different from the situation she imagined to be victorious, she felt that it might not be so easy to sell the paintings today, but she didn't expect this last one to be willing to buy it.
She was calm, but her face didn't show a look of 'your brain is in water'.
"How much does the shopkeeper plan to buy?"
The shopkeeper stretched out one hand, then bent down three more fingers, leaving only two fingers to hold.
"Two taels of silver a piece."
Tan Ran sighed, much worse than she expected.
