Considering the dilemma at hand.

Lu An pondered for a while, but finally relented and asked, "What kind of paintings do you need, and what size?" ”

Seeing that he had a will, Zhou Kun was overjoyed in his heart: "There is no limit to the size, don't be too big, you can just look at the painting."

As for the content, because it's a suburban cave, I prefer to be close to nature, such as mushrooms, squirrels, and animals. ”

Lu An thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, you can take me to your art cave to have a look." ”

"Okay." Zhou Kun couldn't get anything about it.

Lu An walked into the kitchen and said to Ye Run: "I have something to go out, you can help me look at the house." ”

Ye Run, who was sitting on a low stool plucking chicken feathers, raised his head and asked, "Then are you coming back for dinner tonight?" ”

Lu An glanced at the fat and swallowed his saliva: "I can't refuse this temptation, I will definitely return." ”

Since the art technical school is close to the northern suburbs of Baoqing City, the suburban karst caves of Zhoukun are naturally in this direction. Santana drove for half an hour to arrive.

Sure enough, it is an art cave, and it lives up to its name.

The cave is located at the bottom of a low hill, with a semi-circular doorway and a large natural rock overgrown with mossy vines on the top of the cave.

Zhang Xuan identified the vines and asked uncertainly, "This is a rattan rose?" ”

"Yes."

Zhou Kun stretched out his hand and pulled it, explaining: "The whole piece above is full of roses, which bloom all over the mountains and fields in April every year, which is particularly beautiful, and I was attracted by them." ”

The interior of the cave is very large, bigger than expected. The floor is paved with cement, which is not only decorating the atmosphere, but also made an anti-moisture treatment.

The wall on the left is full of oil paintings, which are of various types, but most of them are mainly flora and fauna.

Lu An took a closer look, and it was all average, and he found that an oil painting with a peacock opening the screen was still a little interesting.

On the left is a painting, but on the right is a row of cages and flower pots, raising various small animals, flowers and plants.

Among them, aloe vera is the most.

And what surprised him the most was that there were three Buddha statues taller than people in the innermost part of the cave, the front desk was full of fruits, three incense sticks were inserted in the incense burner and burned slowly, and the air was filled with a faint smell of incense and candles, which smelled very good.

He stood below and looked up for a while, and couldn't help asking, "Do you believe in Buddhism?" ”

Zhou Kun, who followed behind, said: "My ancestors all believed in Buddhism, and I have been exposed to it since I was a child, and I am also a devout Buddhist. ”

Then Zhou Kun asked, "Tea or coffee?" ”

In my previous life, I was used to drinking tea with Sister Qingchi, and Lu An said, "Tea." ”

Seeing that Lu An looked at those small animals again, Zhou Kun explained while boiling water:

"I've liked to raise these things since I was a child, it's not that I exaggerate, I can basically raise them, I've already raised them.

For example, monkeys, dogs, birds, hamsters, snakes, etc., have all tried. ”

Fuck it, the old man can't eat well since he was a child, but you still have surplus food to raise animals, and you still raise such a water spirit, the difference is really big.

It seems that the economic strength is very thick, no wonder you can buy two paintings for 30,000 yuan.

Lu An asked, "If you go out, who will take care of it for you?" ”

Zhou Kundao: "My wife, she is my childhood sweetheart, because they grew up together, their hobbies are basically the same." ”

A nest of snakes and rats, Lu An slandered in his heart.

He continued to look down with great interest, and when he saw that there was really a snake in a cage, he suddenly got goosebumps, his whole body was numb, and he lost his curiosity in an instant.

Seeing that he was so frightened that he retreated, Zhou Kun smiled and said: "This is playing, I usually read books here, paint, drink and brag with friends when I have nothing to do." ”

Then he pointed behind the screen on the right, "There is a staircase that can go up to the second floor, where my wife and I rest and play." ”

Amusement?

It is estimated that there are more landlords, and I don't know what kind of person his wife is, who can accompany him to live in this place.

The tea was ready, and Lu An took the tea and said thank you.

Then he took a sip, looked at the other party's long flowing hair and said, "If you don't look at the Buddha statue, there is a kind of folk singer's temperament here." ”

Zhou Kun waved his hand and laughed: "No, no, I don't know anything about music, haha." ”

Lu An continued to take a sip, put down the white porcelain teacup and said, "I just looked at your paintings, and I found that your personal style seems to have been set, and you don't have to go east and west like many painters. ”

It's a mellow way of saying it.

In fact, he could see that Zhou Kun, like himself in his previous life, had come to a standstill at a certain stage, and if he didn't have the opportunity to break this bottleneck, his life would be like that.

Ten aspiring painters will encounter this difficulty, but it will be even more difficult to break down the barrier.

This requires not only talent, but also perception and luck.

That is, the legendary inspiration moved, and the mind was opened.

Zhou Kun was not too surprised that Lu An was able to break his painting level and break the bottleneck he had fallen into, after all, in his eyes, Lu An was a master.

Zhou Kun glanced at the pile of oil paintings and said: "By chance, I signed a contract with a gallery on the other side of the strait, and they liked my style very much, saying that the market response was good, and they have been cooperating until now." ”

Being able to sign a contract with a gallery is something that Zhou Kun is proud of, but it is also a last resort, because of the needs of the market, his style is limited.

However, he is relatively satisfied with the current economic conditions and has dependence, so it is an invisible obstacle for him to seek a new creative direction.

Lu An praised: "It's very good, to be able to sign a contract with a gallery, this is something that many professional painters dream of, and you are already ahead of the curve." ”

Zhou Kun was really happy about this, and said with a smile: "As you said, I'm still relatively lucky, signing a contract can make my life secure, and I can live freely when I have a foundation." ”

After drinking four or five cups of tea in a row, sitting together and chatting for more than half an hour, Lu An finally offered to leave.

Zhou Kun's eyes lit up, knowing that this young master must have a bottom in his heart, but he was curious but not easy to ask, so he immediately picked up the car key on the coffee table and sent him back.

Chaise Lane.

Before getting out of the car, Lu An sent out an invitation: "Do you want to come into the house and sit for a while?" By the way, eat a coarse tea and light rice? ”

Zhou Kun was a little moved, but politely refused: "No, let's go another day, I'm going to pick up my daughter-in-law and go to my father-in-law's house, there is something going on over there today." ”

Hearing this, Lu An was no longer reluctant, nodded with a smile, opened the door and got out of the car.

As soon as he entered the yard, he smelled a strong smell of chicken, and immediately sped up and rushed to the kitchen.

Before anyone arrived, the voice had arrived: "Is the dish ready, I'm almost hungry." ”

Ye Run glanced at the door, and the vegetable spoon in his hand did not stop.

Li Dong, who had made a move, shouted: "Good right away, good right away, brother, you are really blessed, you will come back when the dish is about to come out of the pot." ”

Lu An walked to Ye Run's side, leaned in to take a look, and then said:

"I'll try a piece of it, and see if the salt tastes right?"
