Chapter Twenty-Six: The Brush Is Not Picky in This Way
Ye Nan was frightened by what happened to the old man yesterday, and secretly said that if he hadn't broken through to the top grade of the Gathering Spirit yesterday morning, he would have only been able to watch the old man die, and this old man's luck was good.
It's just that if you encounter a life-saving situation in the future, if you have a suitable spell but can't use it, it will be a big injustice, thinking of this, finding all the materials to make a charm is already something that Ye Nan can't wait for.
Carefully calculated, the materials for making the charm already had realgar and black dog blood, and there was still no rootless water, yellow paper, and brushes.
Taking advantage of the fact that he was fine in the afternoon, Ye Nan took an afternoon off and pulled Fang Wei to drive with him to buy it. The brush is easy to solve, and the two of them drove to the cultural street of Hexi University Town and walked around.
It was a Sunday, and it was the time of activity, and the four-meter-wide cultural street was full of lively people.
Ye Nan walked around inside, and saw a large scholar's four treasures shop, so he walked in, the walls and closets on the four walls of the store were full of brushes, inkstones, strips of ink, rice paper, and a forest full of eyes, which made Ye Nan dazzled.
The shopkeeper looked around at Ye Nan, walked over enthusiastically, and asked, "What do you want to buy?"
"Classmate?" Ye Nan touched his forehead, glared at Fang Wei, who was smiling brightly behind him, and replied, "Oh, I want to buy a good brush, does the boss have anything to recommend?"
The shopkeeper chuckled and said, "Good brushes!" I have a lot of them here, all of them are authentic lake pens that I took directly from Huzhou, Zhejiang, are they used to practice calligraphy or draw?"
Writing or painting? Ye Nan's eyes widened, this drawing talisman should be regarded as writing! Well, it should be about the same." ”
Listening to the practice of words, the boss walked into the counter, took out a few boxes from the inside, opened them to the counter in a row, and pointed: "This is sheep's hair, relatively soft, the surname of ink absorption is better, it is good to write cursive calligraphy, and the middle one is wolf's hair, which should be slightly harder, more suitable for beginners to write regular script, next to it is Zihao, the hardness is also good, very suitable for beginners." ”
Ye Nan looked at it, the cloud seal used to draw the rune was closer to the cursive script, but the drawing rune should be more spiritual, after all, the treasure of the town sect of the Fu Sect back then was the Moon Sky Wolf Pen.
But what Ye Nan didn't know was that the Moon Sky Wolf was a thousand-year-old wolf, but the wolf was made of weasel's tail hair, and it was still a little different from the wolf.
After thinking about it, he asked the boss, "Is there a softer wolf hao?"
"Softer, do you have to be wolf?" The boss was a little dumbfounded.
However, people have also seen a lot of such whites and have rich experience, so they found a Changhao wolf and handed it to Ye Nan: "This big orchid bamboo is definitely to your liking."
Ye Nan took it and tried it, it was not bad, and with such a long Hao, the ink absorption was definitely not bad.
I was very satisfied, and I was about to pay, when I suddenly found a dozen yellow paper in a wall cabinet in the corner of the store, and looked at it carefully, it seemed to be the kind of yellow paper that is usually used in temples to make talismans.
Hurriedly pointed to the yellow paper and asked, "Boss, how do you sell that yellow paper?"
The boss looked at him: "What about the yellow paper?" "Yes." Ye Nan nodded hurriedly.
The boss took it out and handed it to Ye Nan: "This yellow table paper is handmade and high-grade goods, if you want to buy it, even if you have fifty yuan." ”
"That's it, wrap it up for me with that pen. Ye Nan was a little excited, thinking that he would have to run two more places and find an incense and candle shop to buy it, but he didn't expect to be able to buy all the things here.
The boss is really a person who can do business, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to buy inkstones, ink strips or something, I have all good things here, and the goods in the entire cultural street are the most formal ones I have here." ”
Ye Nan thought about it, and indeed there was still a piece of inkstone missing, so he picked another inkstone under the introduction of the boss.
The boss wrapped the things for Ye Nan, and knocked a few times on the computer: "One hundred and eighty yuan for a good orchid bamboo, fifty yuan for a knife on high-grade yellow table paper, and sixty-eight yuan for a genuine inkstone." Chen Hui has a total of 298 yuan. ”
Ye Nan is staggered, this wolf pen is really not cheap, when I was a child, I only bought one or two brushes, and this small one has multiplied more than 100 times, this boss doesn't want to hack me. He smiled and said, "Boss, can this thing be cheaper, I have bought a lot of things." ”
The boss smiled and pointed to a large plaque hanging in the center of the store behind him.
This small shop is good enough, the boss also pointed to a few pairs of calligraphy and ink paintings hanging next to him, and said to Ye Nan with a smile: "This store is unique in the cultural street, and other stores have a price to talk about, but our store does not negotiate the price. Professor Wu, a calligraphy master of Normal University, and Mr. Yan, a famous Chinese painting artist, are all regular customers of our store. Don't worry, classmates, I will invoice you, and you can come to me if you have any questions. ”
Fang Wei stood next to him and nodded and smiled: "I've seen Professor Wu and Teacher Yan before, these two people are very rigorous, and the works on the wall are their own works." ”
When the boss heard this, he smiled and nodded: "This classmate knows the goods." Ye Nan saw Fang Wei say this, so he was relieved, paid the money, and happily walked out of the store with his things.
Halfway through, Ye Nanhu looked at Fang Wei suspiciously and said, "Boy, is it possible that you still graduated from Normal University?"
"What's the matter, we were sent to the secret agent training camp before graduating from high school, when did you go to college! These two are Han Yan's teachers, and I have accompanied Han Yan to visit a few times. ”
"How many times have you seen it, and you dare to say that you know other people's works?" Ye Nanda was disdainful.
Fang Wei looked at Ye Nan like that, very unhappy, and said: "I've seen those seals, besides, in this cultural street, who dares to brazenly risk the names of the two teachers, then can they still gain a foothold in this place? ”
Hearing this, Ye Nan had nothing to say, so he had to laugh "hehe" on the side. Quickly changed the topic: "We're all here, why don't you go and see Han Yan?"
Fang Wei glanced at Ye Nan obliquely, and said with a wicked smile: "Look at Han Yan, I think it's Xu Min, right? It's been half a month, I think you kid should ask me about it." Hey hey"
Ye Nan wiped a handful of sweat and said secretly: "What's the matter, I've been busy lately, if I don't mention Han Yan, I will forget about Xu Min" But he didn't dare to tell Fang Wei about this, if Han Yan accidentally knew about it, he wouldn't want to see Xu Min in the future.
After that, Fang Wei turned the head of the car, went straight to the division university, and when he arrived at the door, he called Han Yan. Then he waited at the gate of the division, waited for a while, and was really bored, Fang Wei remembered something, and snorted at the pile of guys that Ye Nan had just bought, and asked, "I said Nanzi, why are you buying these things? Could it be that you still want to cultivate your temperament and cultivate your temperament by practicing calligraphy?"
Ye Nan also had nothing to say about the person who was standing behind him, waving his fingers to make a charm for Fang Wei to see, but after thinking for a while, he found that none of the dozen or so charms he knew could create a big effect on the spot and deter people. Reluctantly replied: "I'll tell you what this thing is doing when I go back later." ”
After waiting for half an hour, he saw Han Yan and Xu Min Shi Ran come out, Fang Wei stretched out his head and beckoned to the two.
After the two got into the car, Ye Nan turned his head and greeted the two people in the back seat: "The two beauties haven't seen each other for a long time, I miss you very much." ”
Han Yan had a disdainful expression and pursed her lips: "Miss us, do you miss Xu Min, I won't worry about you!"
Ye Nan's old face turned red rarely, and he looked at Xu Min, who was smiling slightly and didn't speak, and laughed dryly: "Of course you don't have to worry about me, I dare to worry, Fang Wei, this kid must not have an opinion."
Fang Wei watched the two bickering with a grin on the side, and did not interject. started the car, looked at his watch, it was already more than 5 o'clock, thought about how many catties of dog meat were still stored at home, and asked Ye Nan on the side: "Why don't we go buy some food later, and let our two beauties try your craftsmanship?"
Ye Nan touched his forehead, he knew that in addition to making soup and making dog meat, he was more adept, and the other dishes were at an average level, so he smiled and said, "If I don't wrap the dog meat, how about you do the other dishes?"
Fang Wei thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I'll leave the other dishes to me, I haven't cooked for a long time." ”
Han Yan was behind, and when she heard that there was dog meat to eat, she asked happily: "Dog meat and I both like to eat it, Ye Nan, is it delicious?" Ye Nan smiled: "You'll know when you try it later." ”
Looking at him with a confident look, Xu Min smiled and said, "Ye Nan, don't be too complacent, Han Yan's mouth is open." ”
Seeing that Xu Min was a little skeptical of Ye Nan's craftsmanship, Fang Wei smiled and helped aside: "Wait until you try it, I had a great meal at noon yesterday." With Fang Wei's words, Han Yan and Xu Min always felt a lot more relieved.
