Chapter 234 Daily life in the painting shop(2/3)

"What about the pork belly? Next time, my son likes to eat braised pork mixed with rice."

"Yes!" Zhang Junping nodded again.

After saying several things in succession, Zhang Junping nodded and said yes.

"Then, some more hairtail?" Guo Meizhen herself felt a little unsure.

"Yes!" Zhang Junping still nodded.

The conversation between Zhang Junping and Guo Meizhen attracted all five people in the business hall.

"Manager Zhang, we have a lot of food, can you give me some coupons? It's Chinese New Year, and I will also make new clothes for my children." Seeing that Zhang Junping is so kind and has no airs, other salesmen also boldly made requests.

.

"Why publish tickets? You have to spend money to buy them. How about we publish the materials directly?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"real?"

"Really! It's already the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are only a few days until the New Year. How many days can I lie to you?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Then when will the benefits be paid?"

"It's coming soon, I'll send it to you in about three days." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

At this moment, Master Ma from the kitchen came over with a cooked and sterilized tea cup.

"Manager Zhang, the tea cup is ready for you!"

"Thank you, Master Ma!" Zhang Junping thanked him and took the tea cup.

"You guys should be busy, I should go upstairs to drink tea!" Zhang Junping held a tea cup and smiled at the elder sisters.

"Store manager, let me help you bring the rice paper up."

"Store manager, let me help you get the brush and pen holder up."

"Store manager, do you want ink? We also have a lot of Huizhou ink produced in the Republic of China in our store. Please bring some and use it."

The elder sisters were very enthusiastic and rushed to help Zhang Junping get things.

"Thank you Sister Chen and Sister Guo.

Then you can help me get a set of oil painting tools.

Actually, I am better at oil painting than ink painting." Zhang Junping thanked him with a smile.

The three eldest sisters, Chen Lijun, Guo Meizhen and Wang Fenglan, got the task of delivering things to Zhang Junping.

Help Zhang Junping bring rice paper, brushes, easels, drawing boards, drawing boards, brushes, and oil paints for oil paintings into the office.

Seeing that there was no room to put these things in Zhang Junping's office, Chen Lijun took the initiative and called a few framing apprentices to move a shelf to the warehouse downstairs specifically for storing rice paper and canvas.

After Zhang Junping thanked him, he politely sent the three eldest ladies out of the office.

Getting along with others is as simple as that. If you respect others, others will respect you.

Zhang Junping first made himself a cup of jasmine tea and took a nice sip.

Then he took out a six-foot piece of rice paper and spread it on the painting table.

Take out an inkstone and a piece of Hui ink from your own space.

Put a few drops of water on the inkstone and start grinding the ink.

While studying the ink, I was thinking about how to lay it out.

Zhang Junping had already thought about the content and wrote Mao Zu's "Qinyuanchun. Snow". It would be most appropriate to hang "Qinyuanchun. Snow" in the leadership office of a government agency.

The reason why Zhang Junping used six-foot-wide rice paper was to create a calligraphy and painting work by pairing it with ink paintings.

What Zhang Junping is thinking about now is how to lay out the calligraphy and paintings.

Soon, the ink was finished, and Zhang Junping picked up the largest wolf hair brush.

After dipping enough ink and licking the pen, Zhang Junping directly drew a long ink line diagonally on the rice paper with a bold and unrestrained movement.

After a while, a majestic and winding Great Wall appeared on the rice paper. The Great Wall was like a giant dragon, winding into the clouds, with no head or tail visible.

Tall pine trees stand proudly in the white snow, and an eagle soars in the sky.

The mountains and rocks are rugged, but they are unwilling to be covered up by the heavy snow, revealing their ferocious horns.

With poems and paintings, Zhang Junping's paintings are very simple, but very powerful. The winding Great Wall rises into the sky like a giant dragon, straight into the sky.

After drawing the accompanying pictures, Zhang Junping changed to a medium-sized brush and began to inscribe on it.

"Qinyuan Spring. Snow"

The scenery of the North is covered in ice and snow.

Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is nothing but vastness; the rivers flowing up and down suddenly stop flowing.

············

"Good! What a great Qinyuanchun Snow!" Zhang Junping just put down his brush when a shout of approval came from behind him, which startled Zhang Junping.

When painting and writing, Zhang Junping was so focused that he didn't even notice anyone coming into the office.

I turned around and saw that it was the old store manager, looking excitedly at Qin Yuanchun Snow, who Zhang Junping had just written and the ink was not yet dry.

"Mr. Wu, when did you come?"

"You came here when you were painting cedar trees." The old store manager replied to Zhang Junping's words, but his eyes never left the painting.

"This painting of yours is enough to be the treasure of the art shop."

"Don't! Mr. Wu, you are trying to flatter me! What kind of virtue can a young man have? How can he use a random painting as the treasure of his shop?

There is only one treasure in our painting shop, and that is you!" Zhang Junping said to the old store manager, handing over his hands to beg for mercy.

Literary men look down on each other. As a junior, if others praise him a few words, that is called support.

However, if he dares to arrogantly agree to the old store manager's words, he will be criticized verbally and in writing.

No matter how good your calligraphy or painting is, we can find all kinds of flaws in you and criticize you for being useless.

Ordinary people don't understand calligraphy or painting. In their eyes, those calligraphy and paintings that can be called everyone's calligraphy and painting are all the same.

Among everyone, who is more powerful, whose calligraphy is better, and whose painting is better, all depends on people to judge.

Whose words are more convincing and more convincing to ordinary people are naturally those professors from major prestigious schools and those who have the title of national first-class master of arts and crafts.

Therefore, if you praise me for being young and promising, and for my calligraphy and painting, I will accept it, but you can say that I am a treasure to the shop.

That absolutely cannot be admitted.

You must know that the works of contemporary calligraphers and painters cannot become the treasure of the store. Your calligraphy and painting by Zhang Junping are the treasure of the store. What do you mean?

Suppress a generation?

You are still so young and want to suppress a group of seniors in their 50s, 60s and 70s?

If you don’t do it, who will do it?

You know, back then, Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, and Zhang Daqian were also hacked by people of the same generation.

"Haha! Xiao Zhang, don't be nervous, there is no one else in this room.

It's good that you can keep a clear mind." The old store manager said with a smile.

"Old store manager, we can say whatever we want behind closed doors.

However, some flowers must not be told to others!

Apart from anything else, if what you just said spreads out, will anyone sell us calligraphy and painting in the future?

You can't have a large art shop that only sells our calligraphy and paintings, right?" Zhang Junping reminded with a smile.

"Haha, I'm old, I'm old! You haven't seen some things clearly yet." At this time, the old store manager also knew that he had made a mistake, shook his head and said with a bitter smile.

"Are you going to put this calligraphy and painting in the store or..." The old store manager changed the topic again.

His plan was that if Zhang Junping said he would sell it in the store, he would use his power for personal gain and hang the painting in his office.

"This painting is for my father-in-law.

Yesterday, my father-in-law said that he was short of some calligraphy and paintings in his office and asked me to write some for him." As Zhang Junping spoke, he picked up a small brush and wrote inscriptions and postscripts next to it.

There are actually two types of inscriptions and postscripts: subtitles and postscripts.

Title refers to the title, which is in front of the calligraphy and painting.

The postscript is behind the calligraphy and painting.

Inscriptions and postscripts are divided into two types: author's inscriptions and others' inscriptions.

Other people's inscriptions and postscripts can be divided into two types: contemporaries' inscriptions and later generations' inscriptions.

The value of a calligraphy and painting work depends not only on the fame of the author, but also on who has written the inscriptions and postscripts.

Being inscribed by a celebrity can greatly increase the value of the work.

For example, a calligrapher and painter who is not very famous has been inscribed and postscripted by Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi, Huang Binhong and others.
