Reborn Jewelry

Chapter 419 Oil Painting Shop

Meng Dongyue, who hadn't recovered from the pain on his instep, suddenly raised his head and looked at his old friend with disbelief.

He never knew before that Shi Jin also had such shameless moments!
He even told childish lies like stepping on the right foot with his left foot... Could Meng Dongyue be so stupid? !
Shi Jin gave Meng Dongyue a look with a hidden smile, but when facing Chu Ning, his smile became even brighter.

Chu Ning: "..."

She is neither stupid nor blind, how can she not see that there is something tricky between these two people?

However, since the two of them insisted on acting stupid in front of her, she didn't have to expose it.

"Then Senior Brother Meng, be careful when you walk." Chu Ning said cooperatively, "I just accidentally stepped on myself this time, if I trip over next time, it will be really easy to cause accidents!"

Feeling that Shi Jin's hand holding his shoulder was slowly increasing his strength, Meng Dongyue was in distress, so he could only squeeze a completely ugly smile out of his stiff face, and said through gritted teeth: "Thank you, little sister, for reminding me, I remember."

When talking about the latter, Meng Dongyue even turned his head to look at Shi Jin directly, his eyes almost burst into flames.

He is provoking someone, why is he so miserable? !
Of course Shi Jin would not be frightened by Meng Dongyue's small eyes, he didn't even care much about Meng Dongyue, he just smiled at Chu Ning and said, "Chu Chu, don't worry, I'm watching, I guarantee that Dongyue won't do such a stupid thing again. Things are coming! Taking a step back, even if he is really stupid again, I will definitely be able to catch him in time!"

When Meng Dongyue heard these words, it seemed that he was still digging a hole for him, and his eyes immediately widened.

If Shi Jin hadn't been so young, he would have kicked him already!
Chu Ning didn't care so much.

She only knew that since Shi Jin had made such a promise in front of her, no matter what tricks he and Meng Dongyue made in private, the almost revealing thing like just now would not happen.

As long as they don't make it too obvious, she can ignore them all!

The three of them tacitly entered the oil painting shop with their own thoughts.

A very young white man greeted him with a smile.

After saying hello, knowing that Chu Ning's three Asian-skinned people came from China, the American young man named George became even more attentive.

No wonder he is so enthusiastic. People all over the world know that as Huaguo develops better and better, Huaguo people are getting richer and richer, and they are especially willing to spend money abroad.

In recent years, the proportion of Chinese nationals among the foreign tourists that McArson Street welcomes is getting higher and higher.

Moreover, when these Chinese people come to Mackenzie Street, they usually don't leave empty-handed. They always bring a few pieces of art that they fancy in the shops on the street, and they also choose expensive and famous ones to buy.

Among these works of art, oil paintings are the most popular among Chinese tourists.

Thanks to these generous Chinese people, the business of George's oil painting shop inherited from his ancestors is getting better and better, and he has made a lot of money in the past few years.

Now seeing Chu Ning's three young people from Huaguo, who are obviously not short of money, enter the store, George felt that there were three "fat sheep" waiting to be slaughtered, so he entertained them himself.

"I don't know what style of oil painting you three like?" George said in awkward Chinese, "My oil painting shop has a history of decades, and there are oil paintings of any style in the store. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. !"

There is no way, as there are more and more Huaguo customers in the store, in order to do a good job in business, George worked hard to learn Chinese, and now he can communicate with customers who enter the store.

Oil painting is one of the main types of Western painting.

The pigments used in oil painting are relatively special and have strong hardness.

After the picture dries, this special pigment not only does not change color, but also keeps the luster for a long time, making the oil painting easier to preserve.

Moreover, the paint of the oil painting is opaque and has a strong covering power, which makes the color of the oil painting picture rich and realistic, and the three-dimensional effect is very strong.

From ancient times to the present, the development of oil painting has gone through many years.The oil paintings of different periods are obviously different in appearance and style due to the influence of the times.

Meng Dongyue came forward to deal with George, while Chu Ning and Shi Jin admired the oil paintings hanging in the shop.

This store occupies a large area and has a second floor.On the wall of the spiral staircase, there are also scattered oil paintings, which are dizzying to see.

As a decoration, there are obviously too many oil paintings hanging here, which affects the overall beauty.But as a store, it is very qualified.

While Chu Ning was immersed in the world of these oil paintings, Meng Dongyue finally sent George back.

"Brother Meng, what did you and that George talk about?" Chu Ning asked curiously.

Meng Dongyue's face was a bit strange: "That George has been recommending various oil paintings to me, saying that they have the most antique oil paintings here, which are especially suitable for collection. I said we plan to take a look first, and finally let him stop temporarily."

"Antique oil paintings?" Chu Ning laughed, "Antique oil paintings are also divided into categories. If they are not produced by famous artists, antique oil paintings may not be as valuable as modern high-quality oil paintings, right?"

The value of a painting, whether it is an oil painting or a traditional Chinese painting, of course depends on who the painter is and the quality of the painting itself.

If it is just an ordinary oil painting, even if it has been passed down for hundreds of years, it is still worthless if it is worthless.

"Of course he said it was a famous artist's work." Meng Dongyue said helplessly, "They said that they have oil paintings by Van Gogh and Monet in their shop!"

Chu Ning was taken aback for a moment, and then she couldn't help but laugh.

Even Shi Jin, a layman, knows that Van Gogh and Monet are world-renowned oil painters.

Once the oil paintings of the two of them appear in the world, it will definitely cause a world-class sensation, and the price will definitely be frighteningly high!
If there were oil paintings of these two in George's store, they would have been bought long ago, so how could they be kept until today? !

This guy named George clearly regarded them as laymen who didn't understand anything, trying to use the reputation of Van Gogh and Monet to knock them off!

Don't think that there are no fakes in foreign countries. In fact, many domestic fakes are imported from abroad!

Especially for the works of famous masters, there are countless imitations and fakes.

"Don't care about him, let's take a look first." Chu Ning shook her head and said, "Maybe, there are really paintings by Van Gogh and Monet here?"

Meng Dongyue laughed when he heard that.

He knew that Chu Ning was mocking him!
But what Meng Dongyue didn't know was that although Chu Ning didn't know if there were oil paintings of Van Gogh and Monet here, she knew that there were indeed valuable oil paintings in this store!
