My 1991

Consider the predicament at hand.

Lu An pondered for a while, but finally relaxed and asked: "What kind of paintings do you need, and what size are they?"

Seeing that he had made a wish, Zhou Kun was overjoyed: "There is no limit to the size, it doesn't need to be too big, just look at the painting.

As for the content, since it is a suburban cave, I prefer to be close to nature, such as mushrooms, squirrels and animals and plants. "

Lu An thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, you can take me to see that art cave."

"Okay." Zhou Kun was eager for this.

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

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

Lu An glanced at the fat and tender cock and swallowed: "I can't refuse this temptation. I will definitely return."

Since the Art and Technical School is close to the northern suburbs of Baoqing City, Zhou Kun's suburban cave is naturally also in this direction. Santana drove for half an hour to get there.

It is indeed an art cave, worthy of its name.

The cave is located at the bottom of a low mountain. The entrance is semicircular. There is a huge natural rock on the top of the cave, which is covered with moss and vines.

Lu An identified the vines and asked uncertainly: "Is this a vine rose?"

"right."

Zhou Kun stretched out his hand to pull it and explained: "The whole patch above is full of roses. They bloom all over the mountains and fields in April every year. They are very beautiful. I was attracted by them."

The interior space of the cave is very large, larger than imagined. The floor is paved with cement, which is not only decorative but also moisture-proof.

The wall on the left is filled with oil paintings. There are various types of oil paintings, but most of them focus on animals and plants.

Lu An looked at it carefully and found that everything was just average. Then he found that an oil painting of a peacock with its tail open was somewhat interesting.

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

Among them, aloe vera is the most abundant.

What surprised him the most was that there were three Buddha statues taller than people in the innermost part of the cave. The table in front was filled with fruits. There were three incense sticks burning slowly in the incense burner, and a faint scent of incense filled the air. Smells very good.

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

Zhou Kun, who was following behind, said: "My ancestors all believed in Buddhism. I have been influenced by Buddhism 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. Lu An said: "Tea."

Seeing that Lu An was looking at those little animals again, Zhou Kun explained while boiling water:

“I’ve liked raising these things since I was a child. I’m not exaggerating. I’ve already raised everything that can basically be raised.

For example, monkeys, dogs, birds, hamsters, snakes, etc., I have tried them all. "

Damn it, I haven't been able to eat well since I was a child, but you still have enough food to raise animals, and you still raise them so well. What a huge difference.

It seems that the financial strength is very strong. No wonder he can buy two paintings for 30,000 yuan.

Lu An asked: "If you go out, who will take care of you?"

Zhou Kun said: "My wife, she is my childhood sweetheart. Because we grew up together, our hobbies are basically the same."

A nest of snakes and rats, Lu An cursed in her heart.

He continued to look down with interest. When he saw a real snake in a cage, he suddenly got goosebumps, his whole body was numb, and his curiosity suddenly disappeared.

Seeing that he was so frightened that he backed away, Zhou Kun said with a smile: "This is just for fun. When I have nothing to do, I usually stay here reading, painting, drinking and bragging with my friends."

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

entertainment?

He probably has more Landlords, and I don’t know what kind of person his wife is, who can play house with him in this place.

The tea was ready. Lu An said thank you after taking the tea.

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

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

Lu An continued to take a sip, put down the white porcelain tea cup and said, "I just looked at your paintings, and I found that your personal style seems to be established. You don't have a different style like many painters."

This is his tactful way of saying it.

In fact, he could see that Zhou Kun was just like himself in his previous life, and his painting skills had stagnated at a certain stage. If he didn't have the opportunity to break this bottleneck, he would be like that in this life.

Ten out of ten aspiring painters will encounter this difficulty, but it is even more difficult to break through the barriers.

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

That is the legendary sudden inspiration and enlightenment.

Zhou Kun was not too surprised that Lu An was able to reveal his painting level and that he was stuck in a bottleneck. 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 across the Taiwan Strait. They liked my style very much and said the market response was good, so we have been cooperating until now."

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

But he is quite satisfied with and dependent on the current economic conditions, so it is an invisible obstacle to seeking new creative directions.

Lu An praised: "It's great. Being able to sign a contract with a gallery is something that many professional painters dream of. You are already ahead of the curve."

Zhou Kun was indeed very happy about this, and said with a smile: "As you said, I am quite lucky. Signing the contract can guarantee my life. Only when I have a foundation can I live comfortably."

After drinking four or five cups of tea and chatting for more than half an hour, Lu An finally said goodbye.

Zhou Kun's eyes lit up, and he knew that the young master must have something in his mind. He was curious but it was difficult to ask, so he immediately picked up the car keys on the coffee table and sent him back.

Royal Concubine Lane.

Before Lu An got out of the car, he extended an invitation: "Would you like to come in and sit for a while? Have a light meal by the way?"

Zhou Kun was a little moved, but declined politely: "No, let's do it another day. I have to pick up my daughter-in-law and go to my father-in-law's house. There's something going on there today."

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

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

Before anyone arrived, the voice came: "Is the food ready? I'm going to faint from hunger."

Ye Run glanced at the door and kept holding the spoon in his hand.

But Li Donggao, who was the master, responded: "It'll be ready soon, it'll be ready soon. Brother, you are really lucky. You will be back when the food is ready."

Lu An was so happy that he walked to Ye Run, took a look, and then said:

"Take a piece and let me taste it to see if the salt tastes right?"
