Thousands of miles and a pound of paint

Chapter 10 Auction

Professor Zhang stood up slowly, first bowed to the host, then waved to everyone, and handed over the microphone in a timely manner.

"It's a great honor to appreciate so many great masterpieces with everyone, and it's thanks to everyone's love that my works can be auctioned."

"For this auction, all proceeds from the auction of my work will be donated to the China Youth Development Foundation."

After speaking, the moment Professor Zhang returned the microphone, there was another thunderous applause in the venue, and everyone had bright smiles on their faces.

Standing on the stage, the auctioneer solemnly bowed to Professor Zhang, "Giving love and gaining hope. I thank Professor Zhang on behalf of the children!"

Professor Zhang sat down slowly after accepting the bow, nodded to the auctioneer with a smile, and the auction continued.

"Next, let us all appreciate this piece of work from Professor Zhang Yiqing - "Lacquer Plate Painted with Gold Painting on Lushan Mountain". Under the rendering of the beautiful scenery, this work was created.”

Following the auctioneer's introduction, the work was put on the big screen, and the real object followed the steps of the hostesses to everyone.

"This lacquer plate is made of black lacquer as the base color, and mother-of-pearl is used for embellishment on the surface of the plate. The landscape and forest lines of Lushan Mountain in autumn are outlined with gold tracing, and then filled with mother-of-pearl. Although the whole work is a realistic landscape, but And because of the inlaid mother-of-pearl, the brilliant colors make the whole work full of the beauty of light art."

The work was placed in a brocade tray made of velvet. With the display of the hostess, it was finally placed on the display cabinet about one meter away from the auctioneer. A circle of small ambient lights was added around it. The base began to rotate, following the changes of different lights. Refraction, the lacquer plate blooms wonderful colors.

""Lacquer Plate with Gold Painting on Lushan Mountain", the auction of this work starts at RMB [-]!" With the sound of the auction hammer, the auction of this work has officially started.

The auctioneer started asking the price, "One hundred and one hundred and twenty thousand!"

"This piece is from the leader of the lacquer art industry, Professor Zhang Yiqing's "Lushan Mountain Painted Lacquer Plate with Gold and Full Painting", it is really a rare auction~"

"One hundred one hundred fifty thousand!"

"Did it come out to one million and one hundred and eighty thousand? One million and one hundred and eighty thousand!"

"All proceeds from the auction of this work will be donated to the China Youth Foundation! Is there a higher one?"

"One hundred and twenty thousand! Is there a higher bid?"

"One hundred and twenty thousand!"

"One hundred, two hundred and fourty thousand!"

"One hundred and twenty sixty thousand!"

"Who wants to add [-], [-], [-]."

"One hundred, three hundred and twenty thousand!"

"Written commission: one hundred and five hundred thousand!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand times!"

"One hundred and five hundred thousand twice!"

"Is there any price increase?"

"One hundred and fifty thousand for the last time!!!"

With the auctioneer's auction hammer making a final decision, "Boom, boom, deal, let us congratulate this Tibetan friend!"

Six hours later, as the bidders left, the lights of the venue began to go out, officially announcing the end of Jiashili's summer auction.

Participating auctioneers are happy because they have photographed their favorite things, and some curse the world after getting the auction, and there are some outsiders who fight against injustice. In short, everyone has their own joys and sorrows.

"Then let's start packing this work?" It was the after-sales staff of Jiashili Auction Company who spoke.

Professor Zhang reluctantly took a last look at the lacquer plate, and finally signed his name and date on the seal.

After all, I made it by myself. According to Professor Zhang, every time I sell an extra piece of work when I’m older, it’s like selling a “child”. I didn’t feel this way when I was young, but now I really do. Sell ​​one less one.

Ding Muqing supported the master's arm from behind, while Su Li and Seventh Senior Brother followed from left to right, as if silently saying goodbye to the departure of this work.

The man wearing a mask watched Su Li and his party leave, but he was holding a package that was exactly the same as the "Lushan Mountain Painted Gold and Painted Lacquer Plate" just packed in his hand.

"Master, I'm here to pick you up~" Yihui drove his dung fork at the gate of the winery, and hurriedly greeted everyone before the car stopped.

Su Li took a peek at the "distressed" master, and walked quickly to the front of the shining car, "Shh, second senior brother, master is not in a good mood."

This really confuses Yihui, obviously he has received the news that the master's work has been auctioned for a good price of [-], why is he still depressed right now.

"Didn't you say that the auction price of Master's works is very good, why are you still in a bad mood?"

"You know, it's not just a work for the master, the master likes to use it to mix cucumbers in cold summer, now the master doesn't even like cold cucumbers!" Su Li helplessly spread his hands at Yihui.

Yihui had no choice but to put it in P gear, and temporarily parked the car, "It's not the plate of the master's cold cucumber, but it's the "Picking Black Paint Plate with Golden Mountain and Water Patterns", did you remember it wrong?"

The two are now focusing on which plate the master likes to use for cold cucumber?

It's obviously the master's heavy heart, okay?

Senior Seventh Brother stood aside, his eyes almost rolled out of the sky.

He couldn't help but said, "Can you two calm down? The master is suffering so much, and you're still bickering!"

"There is also Yihui, how can you look like a second senior brother? Master, you can be absent from the auction of today's works. I really admire you!"

Yihui originally wanted to explain the reason for his absence, but the elder brother's "look back and smile", the scene that was originally full of "gunpowder smoke" immediately cooled down, "Master said that we will have an iron pot stewed goose at night."

When Yihui heard these words, he felt that he could no longer hold the steering wheel in his hand, and his already big eyes opened even wider, "???"

Seventh Brother's jaw was about to drop, "???"

Not to mention Su Li, his mind was full of doubts, "???"

As expected of a senior senior brother, he is still calmly supporting Professor Zhang. For some reason, Professor Zhang, who was originally looking sad, is grinning at the corner of his mouth to his ears.

"There must be a little bit of sadness, but the [-] auctioned will definitely help many children. Thinking of this, I think it's worth it. Of course, we have to celebrate, so the master invites you to eat big goose stewed in an iron pot!"

Professor Zhang obviously has completely come out of the gloomy mood before, and can make some contributions to this society. He feels that it is best for his works to leave him in this way.
