Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 383 Stained Glass Craftsman
Because this is in a safe venue, and Joan of Arc is sitting opposite.Therefore, when Liang En was sketching, he had no other distractions and devoted himself to the creation.

What he didn't expect was that when he was about to stand up after completing the work, he unexpectedly found that there was a group of audience watching him, and even a few people showed expressions of admiration on their faces.

"Excuse me, are you—" a middle-aged man standing at the front asked in a low voice. As a professor of an art academy, although this middle-aged man's artistic creation level is average, he still has vision.

So after looking behind Liang En for a long time, he was basically sure that the person in front of him was at least a master in sketching, so he wanted to get acquainted.

"Hello, I'm Liang En, an archaeologist and historian." Seeing the other party's friendly gesture, Liang En also smiled, and extended his hand to shake the middle-aged man's hand.

"Archaeologist!" After hearing Liang En's self-introduction, almost everyone present was stunned here, because this identity was a bit beyond everyone's expectations, but now is the information age after all, so someone soon found out on their mobile phones Liang En's identity.

"Deciphered the ancient Egyptian script, discovered the Vinland colony of the Vikings, and discovered the remains of the sun cave of the ancient Mithraism—" A young man looked at Liang En in surprise while reading the information he had found.

To be honest, any of these discoveries are of extremely high value, and the discoverers are enough to engrave their names in history, not to mention that so many honors are concentrated on one person, it is no wonder that the audience around them are all the same. Surprised face.

As a result, it took Liang En more than 20 minutes to dismiss the onlookers. Of course, taking photos with people and signing autographs were unavoidable during the process.

"It seems that you are quite popular now." Joan of Arc joked with a smile after carefully putting away Liang En's sketch. "You just did everything to look like a star."

As the time in this world got longer and longer, Joan of Arc gradually recovered the vivacity that a girl of her age should have, so she was able to joke around in life.

"Actually, I can be considered a star now, but unlike stars in the entertainment industry, there are not many people who can know me." Liang En shrugged with a smile, and then continued their visit with Joan of Arc.

Soon, the two stopped by a booth, which exhibited some rare stained glass works.

This is a very small art. Except for the stained glass windows of churches, people usually see this art form, and stained glass art is very rare in other places.

The reason why Liang En was attracted to this place was because the set of nine stained-glass windows he designed before had not yet found anyone who could take over the job.

Although Liang En and Earl Bossett have a good relationship now due to various cooperations, and Earl Bossett, who is an ancient noble family, should also know craftsmen in this area, but sometimes try not to owe favors as much as possible.

So Liang En had been asking Joan of Arc to help find a way to find artisans in this field. Unfortunately, because the audience for this art is too small, the ones he finds are either already successful and famous, and the time has not been allocated, or the level is too bad.

The reason why Liang En is attracted to the items on this booth is that from the perspective of Mucha, the art master he got from the cards, the producers of the works above are really good, and they can definitely complete his commission.

Of course, there is a reason why this booth is so empty. Although the stained glass is not bad from the perspective of craftsmanship, it is really lackluster in terms of design.

For example, all the patterns are some traditional patterns or simplified imitation versions of certain works, and it is completely impossible to see the creator's thinking in this regard.

In other words, the makers of these stained glass are just craftsmen with superb skills, and the works they create are imitations of some famous works, and there is not much originality.

But for Liang En, this is exactly what he needs, because he has already designed the pattern of stained glass, so naturally he hopes to follow his own design instead of making personal creativity on it.

"Hello, is there anything here that you like?" Because Liang En and the others had been watching those works carefully at the booth, a young man soon turned out from behind the shelf and asked.

"These things are really good. Are they all your works?" Liang En asked after drawing a circle in front of the booth.

"The stained glass products you see are basically made by my wife and I." After hearing what Liang En said, the young man immediately showed a proud expression on his face, and then began to introduce his own works .

"These works of yours on the homepage are indeed very good." After reading those works, Liang En nodded with satisfaction, "I am looking for someone to help me complete a set of stained glass windows, may I ask if you can complete this work? ?”

"I'm happy to serve you." After hearing Liang En's invitation, the young man thought for a while and said, "But can I have a look at the general situation?"

"Of course, of course." Liang En said as he turned on the phone, and then showed the person in front of him a somewhat vague design sketch. "Here is a sketch, and you can only see the more detailed drawings after reaching a cooperation."

"It's okay, that's enough." As a professional, the stained-glass maker certainly knew the rules of the trade, but for him a sketch with dimensions was enough for him to make a judgment call.

"It's a bit complicated, but it can be completed, but the process may take more than one to two months. After all, each of these flower windows is about the size of a real person, and it takes time to make."

"This is acceptable, as long as things are done well, it doesn't matter if the speed is slow." Liang En nodded and said, and confirmed the intention of cooperation. As for the formal cooperation, both parties need to further understand each other before proceeding.

Because of the intention of cooperation, they naturally have some things that need to be communicated in advance. Since there are basically no tourists in this booth, they simply go to a table inside and chat about details while drinking coffee.

After walking inside, Liang En and the others discovered that there were actually two people in the booth. Besides the little brother who greeted them just now, there was also a young girl who was cutting a piece of stained glass in front of the workbench.

After seeing them come in, the young woman quickly finished the work at hand, and then the two of them cooperated to prepare coffee and snacks and delivered them to the table.

Through a simple chat, the two sides also have a basic understanding.For example, Liang En learned that although these two young people are not yet 25 years old, they have been engaged in this industry for 7 or 8 years.

The young man's name was Paul, and his wife's name was Maria.Because of his interest in art since childhood, he learned this knowledge from a master after graduating from high school.

After saving enough money last year, he and his junior sister and wife Maria came here to open their own workshop.It's just that because I'm a newcomer, I haven't been able to open up the market, so I come to this exhibition to try my luck.
