Chapter 520: Five Buckets of Rice?
When he arrived at the antique street, Lin Xiaoxiao knew that the old men who were not very neat in their legs and feet would choose to come here, a teahouse at the top of the antique street was the industry of Ma Hongwen and Ma Lao in the association, and the old man was also over sixty years old this year, and he deliberately vacated the second floor to entertain the arrival of old friends.
Taste tea, chat, paint, and then take out a few ancient paintings collected by Ma Lao for everyone to enjoy and play...... Oh, this thing is fragile, I can't hold it in my hand and draw it, so it's better to look at it from a distance.
Lin Xiaoxiao doesn't understand antiques, only knows how to read paintings, and looking at the brushstrokes of those paintings seems to be at least everyone's style. After seeing the paintings, everyone was ready to go for a stroll on the street.
"Got it?" The owner of a painting shop on the antique street saw the visitor and got up to greet him with a smile.
"Let's see how it goes." The visitor entered the store with a new oil painting, and the two opened it in the store.
"Not bad, it's very tasteful. Or the old price, one hundred and two? The boss nodded, looking at the comer.
The man pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"If I go back and bring a new painting, Mr. Lin's painting is still good." The boss took out the money and handed it to the man, and then laughed and chatted.
"Alas, I have to go to class all day long, and I don't have much time to draw these." Second Uncle Lin is a little depressed, he has to pay a lot of money for his oil painting even with the work materials, he is not famous, and his painting skills are average, otherwise if he can occupy a little bit of a famous person, and then add a zero to the back of these paintings, or someone will break his head to ask himself to paint? When the time comes, quit the job of the broken school, and enjoy the happiness at home, isn't it much better to paint than to smell the chalk all day long?
Second Uncle Lin blamed the low price of his paintings on the lack of time to hone his painting skills, and the two chatted a few more words before preparing to leave.
"Yo! It seems to be Ma Lao over there! As soon as Boss Li of the small painting shop looked up, he saw a group of people coming over there.
"Ma Lao? Who is it? Second Uncle Lin looked over there, he didn't know him, he didn't know any of them.
"Ma Hongwen!"
"Oh! The one who is good at drawing horses? Second Uncle Lin was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Which one is it?" ”
"That's the one, a little fat, the teahouse at the top is Ma Lao's, and sometimes you can see him wandering around the street...... See that one over there? Liu Hanxue, who paints landscapes, is also a well-known master of Chinese painting in China...... Oh, I remember, I heard that they have some activities in Ma Lao's teahouse today, right? Boss Li patted his head and remembered.
Second Uncle Lin nodded, and was suddenly stunned: "That...... These people are all from the Calligraphy and Painting Association? ”
"I guess so." This Boss Li doesn't know a few, but it should be together.
"That'...... Those young ...... What about children or something? Second Uncle Lin's voice trembled a little, but Boss Li didn't hear it.
"It's supposed to be an apprentice or something, right? Ah, here it is! That Boss Li was excited, and hurriedly came out to greet him.
"I'll see what you've got here." Ma Lao walked over with a smile.
"Welcome, welcome! But we don't have any paintings of masters here, they are all painted by some enthusiasts in our N city and put them here for sale here. That Boss Li hurriedly said with a smile, and looked at the people who followed Ma Lao, "I heard that there is an activity in the Calligraphy and Painting Association today?" ”
"Yes! Oh, this is Zhao Hexuan, this is ......" Ma Lao briefly introduced a few words, and that Boss Li was excited for a while, all of them were N City...... No, it's even a nationally famous person!! "This is our national treasure-level master, Gu Chengyun Gu Laosheng, these two are Gu Lao's senior disciples......"
Boss Li shivered excitedly, and hurriedly let everyone in, he didn't expect that because everyone was painting, he suddenly wanted to see if there were any paintings on this street (no one thought that there could be any genuine ancient paintings here), so Ma Hongwen remembered that Boss Li's store would accept some ordinary people's paintings to sell, so he simply came here to shop.
Second Uncle Lin jumped out of the store and hid in the corner when he saw the group of people coming. Lin Xiaoxiao and Su Qingyu had been helping Gu Lao to go, so they didn't see him. It's just that although the others went out, he still heard what everyone said at the door.
"What's wrong with you today? Why is your face so bad? The painting didn't sell? Second Aunt Lin slanted her two scattered eyes, and stared at Second Uncle Lin, who had been in a daze since she got home.
"It's okay...... Sold. Second Uncle Lin shook his head, still in a daze.
"Is that the price you were given this time is not appropriate?" The second aunt asked again.
"A lot of ......" the second uncle replied casually and continued to be in a daze.
"And what's wrong with you?" The second aunt saw that the second uncle had been not taking care of herself, frowned, and called outside, "Liangliang, okay?" It's been more than half a day? Why hasn't the meal been cooked yet? ”
"Right now!" Lin Liang frowned and yelled, sweating profusely in the kitchen where he was reluctant to install a range hood. It's better to get married quickly! Every day at home, these two parents never remember to call themselves, when there is work, something to think of when they get up and call themselves, as long as they hear the voice of their mother, then there must be something waiting for them!
Sick, sick, sick! Who has ever heard of a twisted foot and neck that has been recuperating in bed for three months?! Her mom can!! And her old man is not even willing to clean up the table and bed, and she has to ask herself to clean up the skin of melon seeds on the ground!
The phone rang at home, and Lin Liang just put the last dish on the plate, so he breathed a sigh of relief and served it.
"Liangliang, your phone, small square." Second Uncle Lin took it easily, and then said to Lin Liang who entered the house.
"Yo, it's really sticky, three phone calls a day to go home, won't you get married in half a year?" Lin Xiaoxiao didn't hear it at this time, if she heard the words of the second aunt, she would have to bow to tears of sympathy for Lin Liang. originally thought that Aunt Lin's attitude was only aimed at herself and her own family, but she didn't think that people would do the same to their own daughters at home~
The second uncle is still melancholy, he is hesitating and being depressed, why is this? Of course, it was because I saw Lin Xiaoxiao and Su Qingyu just now. He didn't sigh at seeing his niece and nephew and son-in-law look like this, but because...... He didn't expect that Lin Xiaoxiao would be Gu Lao's apprentice......
He didn't know what Lin Xiaoxiao's painting skills were like now, but with only the four words "Gu Lao Gao's apprentice", even if she painted badly, she would take out a painting and sell it casually, and the price would definitely be more than zero after the price of her current painting!!
Therefore, Second Uncle Lin was very hesitant, he was thinking, should he just go to Lin's house and let Lin Xiaoxiao do him a favor, so that he could be mixed up in the Calligraphy and Painting Association as "Gu Lao Gao's Second Uncle"?
Thinking about it, thinking about it, worrying about it, the second uncle finally sighed and decided to "not bend his waist for five buckets of rice"!!
Yes, literati must have the integrity of a literati!! Now I don't have much time to practice painting, and when I retire, my painting skills will definitely be able to go to the next level!! At that time, Lin Xiaoxiao, the kind of person who only relies on the fame of the master, will have to sigh in front of himself!!
Second Uncle Lin had already thrown Lin Xiaoxiao's painting talent eight hundred miles away when he was a child, and he didn't think about it carefully, why did Gu Lao, a famous Qingliu painter in the industry, accept a girl like Lin Xiaoxiao as an apprentice?
In addition, the thing he was most afraid of in his heart was actually - he was afraid that if Lin Xiaoxiao knew that his paintings could sell such three melons and two dates, and he would be laughed at by his nieces if he painted and painted at home all day long......
"Tuesday? Well...... Okay...... Good...... Got it. ”
Lin Liang hung up the phone, and before she could take a breath, she heard the second aunt ask in the back, "Again, what's the matter?" Going out again on Tuesday? ”
Lin Liang's face darkened, and he nodded: "I won't go home to eat on Tuesday night." ”
"Drink, your boyfriend's family is really rich, I took you out to the restaurant at two ends in three days, how can it be like us back then...... By the way, what about the dishes? Why are there only two of them? ”
Lin Liang gritted her teeth and went to the kitchen with a black face - who made her eldest sister work overtime today and couldn't come back?! I can only endure her at home! I usually let myself do all the things of the two of them today!!
After class on Tuesday, Lin Xiaoxiao and Su Qingyu were standing in the kitchen, opening the refrigerator door to discuss what to eat at noon today, when the phone at home rang.
"Mom, didn't you say you wouldn't go home to eat today?" As soon as she answered the phone, Lin Xiaoxiao heard Lin's mother ask her to go home, and she couldn't help but rub her temples.
"Hey, isn't your sister here today? If you have nothing to do, come and sit with us. Mother Lin said casually, "I don't cook anymore, the restaurant is called, and you can save trouble." ”
"My sister? Which sister do I have? Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned.
"You pretty sister, with your brother-in-law."
Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned again, glanced at Su Qingyu beside him, and then said, "Mom, our ingredients are ready, and the dishes are also fried, so let's go." ”
"Oh, whatever...... The food delivery came, and I hung up first. ”
