Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

Chapter 195, Stocking up, Returning to Binhai, Acting
Inside the old shop with simple decoration, the shelves are filled with a wide variety of study items, and many calligraphy and painting works are hung on the walls.

There were several sheets of Xuan paper on the counter, and the waiter was introducing them to Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe picked up one of the sheets and held it up to the light to observe the structure of the paper.

Under the effect of light, you can see the clumps of fibers in the paper and the special paper curtain texture. The texture of this paper is different from the common bamboo curtain paper texture and is hexagonal.

"This is Wang Liuji's turtle-patterned paper. The bamboo screen used for papermaking is specially made to show this kind of pattern. The paper is made of half sandalwood bark and half paddy straw..." The waiter enthusiastically explained to Jiang Zhe: "This kind of paper is difficult to produce because the bamboo screen is easy to break. Therefore, few manufacturers are willing to produce it. Of course, the price is also expensive. A four-foot piece is 270 yuan."

"Buy two. One for four feet and one for six feet." Jiang Zhe did not hesitate. At that time, there were two major brands of Xuan paper - Chixing and Wang Liuji, and the price had not yet soared to more than a thousand yuan.

Good rice paper is durable to store and old paper is easier to use, so he plans to stock up some and use it slowly.

The waiter immediately put the two knives he had chosen aside and then introduced the other papers.

The paper sold in this old shop comes from all over the country, but the most famous paper for Chinese painting and calligraphy is Xuan paper.

There are many types of Xuan paper: from the material point of view, there are special skin, pure skin, cotton material, half material, etc.; from the thickness point of view, there are single layer, heavy, double layer and triple layer; from the size point of view, there are also many types of paper, and there are also post-processed paper, such as semi-raw and cooked Xuan paper.

Jiang Zhe estimated the types of paper he could use and tried to choose paper with an older production year. At the same time, he liked paper with a natural white color and without a lot of bleach.

He bought more than a dozen pieces of rice paper of different sizes and craftsmanship as well as special calligraphy and painting paper at one time.

This old shop also has specially customized stationery, which is a special paper with traditional auspicious patterns and the store logo.

Jiang Zhe thought it was well-made and bought a few sets.

Because he purchased a large quantity, the clerk suggested that if his home was out of town, the items could be delivered by mail and the store could help with the contact.

Jiang Zhe thought this was more convenient, so he asked the clerk to help make the contact.

He also bought some calligraphy and seal-cutting tools as well as traditional Chinese painting pigments.

Unlike the tube pigments produced by manufacturers, traditional Chinese painting pigments are basically mineral and plant pigments, some of which are very expensive, such as cinnabar, gamboge, lapis lazuli powder, gold foil, etc.

After two days of observation and learning, he had the idea of ​​learning Chinese painting by himself, so he prepared the tools in advance. In the future, these materials will become more and more expensive, and the quality may not be guaranteed, so he bought them in advance.

Almost every one of these various traditional materials has stood the test of time, and many of them are also beautiful in themselves, making people want to buy them when they see them.

Jiang Zhe restrained his impulse to buy, but still bought a lot of painting supplies.

When encountering such a big customer, the clerk is very enthusiastic to help pack.

Most of the painting materials Jiang Zhe purchased were shipped by mail, and a small portion was packaged and taken away.

He hurriedly ate lunch and went shopping for gifts for his family and friends. There were clothes, cosmetics, perfumes, cakes, etc.
Business in Shanghai is well developed, you only need to worry about whether you have enough money, and don't have to worry about not being able to buy things.

He returned to the hotel on time, and his luggage had become two large bags and a travel bag on his back.

Wang Zhen and his assistant came to see Jiang Zhe off and helped him carry his luggage into the taxi.

"Don't send me off. Let's contact each other again when we get back to Binhai." Jiang Zhe got in the car and said to the two of them.

Wang Zhen did have something to do, so he said goodbye at the hotel entrance.

Jiang Zhe arrived at the airport, checked in his luggage, and while waiting to board the plane, he looked at the bustling night scene outside.

This time I was in Shanghai for a short time, but I gained a lot. In addition to improving my skills, I also gained new ideas for professional development.

After he boarded the plane, he sat in his seat, took out his sketchbook, and described what he saw and heard on this trip.

At 7pm, the plane landed at Binhai Airport.

When he was checking in his luggage, he felt that modern life was so convenient. He could be shopping in Shanghai in the afternoon and back in Binhai in the evening.

Although I was only away for two days, when I walked out of the hall, I felt the air of my hometown was particularly fresh.

Jiang Zhe first went back to his studio, put down most of the gifts, and then went home with the gifts for his parents.

When you use the key to open the door, you will hear Xiaoka's voice first.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back." He opened the door and heard his mother's voice.

"Is Xiaozhe back?"

Jiang Yi and his wife had been waiting for Jiang Zhe. Seeing that he was holding things in both hands, they hurriedly took them and asked together:
"Why did you buy so many things? Did you have a smooth journey?" "You didn't eat? I'll cook for you."

Jiang Zhe said, "Mom and Dad, don't worry. I ate on the plane. I'm not hungry at all. The journey was smooth."

He tapped the small card and opened the gift: "This is a gift for you two. Look, gloves, a hat, a coat..."

"Don't spend money recklessly when you are away." Jiang Yi and his wife looked at the many gifts, feeling both happy and distressed.

"Winter is coming, so it's a good time to get some new clothes. My dad's belt, and my mom's makeup set."

Xu Li happily took it and asked, "Isn't this expensive?"

"Don't worry about the price. Try the clothes on. I remember the size and see if they fit."

Jiang Yi took the belt and tried it on in front of the mirror: "It matches the new clothes perfectly."

Jiang Zhe took out the pastries he brought back for his parents.

Xiaoka also had a gift of dog food.

While Jiang Yi and his wife were looking at the gifts, Jiang Zhe went to wash up and then chat with his parents.

At night, the whole family enjoys themselves.

The next morning, Jiang Zhe came to school and saw Chen Yan outside the cafeteria.

"You've been out for two days. Did you miss me?"

"I think about you every day. I brought you cosmetics and perfume." Jiang Zhe handed the gift to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan smiled, ordered breakfast, pulled him to sit down, and asked about the details of going out.

The two talked while eating.

Seeing that it was almost time for class, Jiang Zhe said to Chen Yan, "I'll bring you some clothes and leave them in the studio. Can you try them on in the evening?"

"it is good."

At noon, Jiang Zhe gave the small gifts he brought back to his teachers, friends and roommates. The gifts were not many, but the thought was important.

In the evening, he and Chen Yan returned to the studio.

I came back yesterday and didn't have time to unpack some of my luggage.

He took out the clothes he bought for Chen Yan.

Chen Yan happily checked and suddenly found a set of pajamas. After opening it, she immediately scolded: "Why did you buy this kind of clothes?"

"Do you like it?" Jiang Zhe asked with a smile.

Chen Yan raised her chin slightly and looked at Jiang Zhe. "If you dare to buy it, I dare to wear it."

She went into the room to change her clothes.

Jiang Zhe continued to pack his luggage.

Soon, I heard footsteps behind me, and turned around to see Chen Yan walking out in suspender pajamas.

"Does it look good?" Chen Yan spoke in a pretentious tone and walked with a model's gait.

Seeing Jiang Zhe staring at her, she became more excited and deliberately turned in front of him.

"Are you drunk?" Jiang Zhe asked.

"I drank realgar wine." Chen Yan's voice became more and more charming.

Jiang Zhe threw the thing in his hand. "You are playing role-playing, right?"

Chen Yan smiled complacently, turned around and ran towards the lounge.

Jiang Zhe followed him into the room, dimmed the lights and closed the door.
