Doutu Continent

Shopkeeper Zhou is a man with a story.

As soon as Gu Qingzhou entered the painting studio, he was warmly received by the staff, perhaps because he was wearing a painter's badge. After explaining his intentions, the staff invited him into the VIP room and served him cakes and tea.

After a while, a kind-looking shopkeeper with a slightly rich figure brought people in, and the smile on his face made people feel comfortable.

"This distinguished guest, surnamed Zhou, is the shopkeeper of this branch of Fengyun Painting Studio. The honorable guest chooses here because of his trust and support for Fengyun Mansion. I am very grateful." He wore a painter's badge, and his posture was relaxed when he spoke. Very low, like a businessman is better than his identity as a painter.

He pointed to the middle-aged painter who was accompanying him, and introduced: "This is the surveyor of our store. I wonder how many paintings you plan to give to our store?"

Gu Qingzhou made a deep voice in his throat, "One picture."

The effect of the ink beads holding their breath and making a sound seemed cold and inhumane.However, with Ye Mofan's identity, he never spoke much, and his voice matched his disguise.

Shopkeeper Zhou squinted his eyes and smiled, not neglecting the small quantity at all, "Have you cooperated with Fengyun Painting Studio before?"

Gu Qingzhou said briefly: "No."

Shopkeeper Zhou knew the young artist had taken out the cooperation certificate without entering the door, so he knew it.

The other party looks aloof and arrogant, but such a person often has the capital of arrogance.Moreover, many painters who study painting skills are not good at communicating with people, and even have serious communication barriers.As long as the work is excellent, everything is not a problem.

Shopkeeper Zhou warmly entertained him and said: "Your guests will find out in the future that it is a wise choice to come to Fengyun Huazhai. advantage."

Gu Qingzhou was noncommittal.Fengyun Painting Studio is indeed strong, otherwise he would not have chosen this place as a starting point, but it would be a bit exaggerated to say that the other painting studios are not comparable.Tao Huazun may be the strongest among the strong, but there is not only one painting master in the entire Doutu Continent, they all have industries related to paintings more or less under their names.

"Guests, please use tea. This year's early spring tea, Jinshan Cuiya, is fresher." Shopkeeper Zhou said with a smile.

Gu Qingzhou took a sip as a gesture, put down the teacup, and under the eager eyes of the other party, took out the scroll from the artist's badge and handed it to the other party.Shopkeeper Zhou took it with both hands, opened it lightly and took a look.

Gu Qingzhou pretended to be indifferent, but actually paid attention to the other party's reaction after seeing the picture.

Maybe it's because the style of the painting is too close to the figure painting style of Doutu Dalu. The well-informed shopkeeper Zhou didn't show any strange colors, but his smile added a bit of childishness.

After that, his eyes fell on the signature of the painting, he stayed for a moment, rolled up the scroll again, and handed it to the middle-aged painter next to him.

"Guests, please wait a moment. Our shop's map surveyor will test the efficacy of the painting in order to understand its connotation and accurately promote it to those who need it."

Gu Qingzhou's jaw, the only lip exposed under the mask, was slightly raised.As long as shopkeeper Zhou has no objection to the painting style, he has nothing to worry about.

There is no familiar prototype for figure painting, and any painting can be justified, and others cannot see it.

He feels that compared with the characters in his mind, this painting still has some deficiencies, but as a young painter, the tolerance of the outside world for techniques will become quite high. In the end, the key to how many people will copy this painting is to look at the painting The effect after dotting.

The surveyor left with the painting in his hand, and shopkeeper Zhou took advantage of the spare time to chat.His interest in the young painter in front of him was greater than the painting he brought.

The mask worn by this young painter is not ordinary at first glance, and the outfit of a disciple of the Mochi Academy of Painting.When shopkeeper Zhou saw the signature on the painting——Ye Mofan, he was even more sure of his guess.

He asked: "Dare to ask a distinguished guest, but Ye Mofan, the lover of Mo Huazun of Mochi Academy?"

Gu Qingzhou muffled: "Exactly."

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled more warmly, "I have admired your name for a long time, but I didn't expect to see Mr. Ye today. He is really young and promising, with extraordinary bearing."

"You know me?" Gu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows.

Shopkeeper Zhou said politely, "Young Master Ye is a blockbuster in Wuyan Mountain, a young talent that even Dean Lin has praised. As a businessman like me, I'm well-informed, so I've heard of it."

Ye Mofan was not well-known in the past, and his first attack was at Wuyan Mountain. With his single-handed fighting skills, he could make monsters fly into the sky and hide from the ground, and he took the initiative to line up to die.He had inquired from other shopkeepers of the painting studio, and the paintings they used to finish their eyes did not match the paintings that are now being circulated for people to copy.

This shows that this person has some good works of fighting pictures in his hands, which have not been shown to others so far.Shopkeeper Zhou, the owner of the painting studio, was naturally happy to see Lie, and his heart was itchy.As a shrewd businessman, he also knows that this is the best opportunity to win over the other party.

He secretly decided that even if the paintings sent by Ye Mofan were worthless in copying, he would vigorously promote them to form a good relationship.Shopkeeper Zhou is very happy to be able to make friends with a promising Huazun disciple with just a little effort.

This time I only took out one piece to test the water. If the cooperation is happy, there will be a steady stream of works in the future.

The shopkeeper Zhou's already pleasing face had a more friendly smile, and his deliberately catering words also made the atmosphere more harmonious.Even though Gu Qingzhou was wearing a mask, the flattering Gu Qingzhou felt so ashamed that he couldn't sit still.

Gu Qingzhou thought to himself, he is too young and thin-skinned.

If Yun Zhixian knew what was going on in his heart, he would definitely spit on him face to face.

Pooh!This kid is the best at putting on airs!Otherwise, she would not lose to the opponent.

Shopkeeper Zhou watched his words and saw that the other party was gradually showing impatience, but before the result of the painting was measured, he waved the back of his hand behind him, and some staff quietly went out to urge the surveyor.This is a previously agreed gesture in the store.

Shopkeeper Zhou changed the subject and said: "I have an unfeeling request. I heard that Mr. Ye has achieved outstanding achievements in Wuyan Mountain and obtained a batch of high-quality endstones. I wonder if he intends to sell them? Good inkstones are rare. I will give you the highest price. Buying it at a high price will never let Mr. Ye suffer."

Gu Qingzhou is willing to negotiate this deal, and he can't use up so many endstones, so he can sell a few pieces to make himself more affluent.After all, pens, inks, papers and inkstones cost money. Even if he changed to study ink and wash, the investment in paints was much smaller, and the pens and rice paper consumed were still an expense.

The two negotiated the price, and Gu Qingzhou picked out the five worst-looking ones from the badges and sold them to the other party.However, it is still a bit higher quality than Duanshi on the market.Both parties are satisfied with the transaction.

The two happily ended the Duanshi transaction.But the profiler hasn't come back yet.The time for testing works today seems to be extraordinarily long.

Gu Qingzhou didn't want to wait any longer, and asked, "Isn't the test finished yet?"

"I'll go to remind you." Shopkeeper Zhou responded kindly, also very surprised.He appointed another man who was waiting for dispatch, and urged, "Go and see what's going on? Don't keep the distinguished guests waiting for too long!"

The clerk hurriedly trotted out the door, and after a while, the middle-aged map surveyor appeared in front of them, with a flushed face and unsteady breath, wiping the sweat off his face all the way, obviously rushing over immediately.

Shopkeeper Zhou calmed down his dissatisfaction with him for a while, and asked, "It's so annoying, your guest and I are both looking at the results of your survey, please bring them."

"It hasn't been measured yet..." The surveyor looked ashamed and couldn't come up with detailed survey results.

"What's going on?" Shopkeeper Zhou frowned.

"Get out... can't get out." When the surveyor thought of the effect of the finishing touch on the painting, his eyes became dazed, and what echoed in his mind was the rhythmic swearing and knocking on the door by the shrew. Can't get out.

The magical voice kept circulating in the mapper's mind, making him unable to concentrate on surveying the map in all aspects.When the man came to him for the second time, he secretly cried out that it was not good, and it took so long!

The corners of Gu Qingzhou's mouth curled up slightly, and he understood very well what this middle-aged map surveyor had gone through.

He tolerated the other party's gaffe and did not show any dissatisfaction.However, shopkeeper Zhou has never been brainwashed by emoticons, and he showed displeasure towards his own mapper.

"What can't come out? If you can't test it, replace it with other people. How many people are there in the store, Lao Huang? They didn't test it with you?"

Before two cups of tea, he also vowed to tell the guests that it is wise to choose his painting studio. His family has superior strength and has advantages that other shops do not have.

"I can't even get it out. The effect of this picture is poisonous." The map surveyor smiled wryly, "Shopkeeper, you can go to the map survey area to see for yourself. The painting brought by this guest is amazing. I have never seen such a noisy painting." The paintings are like magic sounds piercing the ears, and the strange rhythm makes people unable to concentrate on doing one thing."

After listening to the other party's words, shopkeeper Zhou was aroused curiosity. Whether it was an excuse for not being able to do things well, or there is something magical about this picture, he would just praise Ye Mofan first.

"Mr. Ye's shot is really extraordinary. Would you like to go to the surveying area behind with the old man to have a look?"

Gu Qingzhou reciprocated, politely said: "Treasurer Zhou please first."

The two got up, and under the guidance of the buddy, they came to the empty mapping field behind the painting studio.

Several surveyors stood in the center of the venue, discussing around a painting. Seeing shopkeeper Zhou approaching, they all saluted and chatted with each other for a while.Because this picture is too magical, they have already canceled the dotting effect, and they are still in a trance from the torment.

Shopkeeper Zhou wanted to see the effect, so the middle-aged map surveyor had to demonstrate it again and reminded: "Shopkeeper, I'm about to start finishing touches."

His expression as if facing a formidable enemy made shopkeeper Zhou's attitude less casual, afraid of being taken lightly.

Gu Qingzhou muffled: "This picture has no offensive power, it is an interesting painting, I let it appear in the world, so that more people can know, it's just that it's better to be alone than to be happy."

Shopkeeper Zhou nodded and did not relax.A painter often overestimates or underestimates his own works, and he prefers to trust professionals.

The middle-aged map surveyor took the paintings from everyone, and said to an empty space, "Do your eyes!"

【Open the door, I know you are home.gif】The effect is activated.

A woman full of beaded hairpins, still charming, is visualized together with the old wooden door.

Shopkeeper Zhou appraised this beautiful woman's appearance and grooming in his heart.Just as he was thinking about it, the woman's shrill voice began to brainwash him wave after wave.

open the door!

Don't hide inside and make no noise!

I know you are home!

You have the ability to commit crimes, why don't you have the ability to open the door!

open the door!

……

The magic voice pierced the ears, and the beautiful woman's fierce yelling made shopkeeper Zhou shudder.This is the taste!So familiar, so nostalgic, shopkeeper Zhou instantly thought of his late wife.

Under the surprised eyes of everyone, shopkeeper Zhou actually cried.

Gu Qingzhou was taken aback by the other party's reaction, "Shopkeeper Zhou, what's the matter with you?"

Shopkeeper Zhou sniffled and wiped his face with his sleeve: "I'm kidding, I just thought of my fierce wife at home."

"..." Gu Qingzhou was speechless, it seems that shopkeeper Zhou is a person with a story.

It may be because this picture brought back memories of shopkeeper Zhou, who gave Gu Qingzhou great preferential treatment when signing the contract.

After receiving the cooperation certificate, Gu Qingzhou was about to leave. At this time, shopkeeper Zhou handed him another sign with the word "Fengyun" engraved on the front.

"Treasurer Zhou, what does this mean?" Gu Qingzhou was puzzled.

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and said kindly: "Young Master Ye, this is the certificate for entering and exiting Fengyun Mansion, and it is also a recommended quota."

"Recommended quota?" Gu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, but unfortunately he was blocked by the mask, and his expression and thoughts could not be seen.

Shopkeeper Zhou threw an olive branch at him, and said in a tempting way: "Fengyun Mansion has three thousand diners, and disciples from the Fifth Academy are not in the minority. I don't know Mr. Ye, are you interested in making yourself and Tao Huazun a good relationship?"
