Chapter 29: The Way to Make Money

In Li Yi's somewhat surprised eyes, the scholar walked up to him, bowed his hand, and said in a slightly hurried tone: "This brother Tai, there are some urgent matters at home, can Brother Tai help me look at this painting stall for a while, and when I have taken care of the affairs at home, I will come as soon as possible." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Li Yi could see that this scholar should really have encountered something, anyway, he is idle now, Liu Ruyi and the big man surnamed Fang don't know when they came over, and they can't lose anything by helping this scholar see the stall, and he can still find a place to rest, why not?

In the scholar's expectant eyes, Li Yi nodded.

"Thank you, brother!"

Seeing that Li Yi agreed, the scholar's face showed joy, and after saying thank you, he left in a hurry.

After the scholar left, Li Yi walked to the front of the painting stall, sat on a chair, picked up the book that the scholar had just read, and read it leisurely.

Within a few minutes, Li Yi shook his head and tossed the book aside.

The books are all biographies of some characters, boring, boring, and I don't know how the scholar just read it with relish.

Li Yi is just a pseudo-scholar, and it is still a little difficult for him to sit here and look at this thing motionlessly.

When I looked at the table, I saw a finished painting of a woman with a hibiscus-like face and a slender body.

Randomly pull out a few paper tubes next to it and open it to see, there are also some completed character landscape paintings and the like, from a layman's point of view, this scholar's painting is OK, but it's normal to think about it, this era of readers, even if they are not proficient in poetry and painting, they must be a little, without two brushes, they are embarrassed to say that they are readers.

Seeing things like pen and ink paint on the side, Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

In the past few days, he has also digested a lot of books on painting techniques, and he is still thinking in his heart that if he can't get along in the future, he will also learn from this scholar, set up such a painting stall on the street, and sell paintings for a living, and he will definitely not starve to death.

The rice paper in the village is gone, Li Yi has never found a chance to practice, rolled up the picture on the table and put it aside, pulled a blank piece of rice paper, dipped the pen in ink, and after a little thought, picked up the pen and sketched it on the paper.

After a while, the outline of a woman's face appeared on the paper.

Although the facial features have not yet been drawn, it is not difficult to see that the person Li Yi wants to draw is Liu Ruyi based on the face shape alone.

"The first time I draw a three-dimensional figure, I will practice with her first."

Thinking of Liu Ruyi's always cold face, Li Yi's face evoked a wicked smile, and when he put down the pen again, he began to draw his facial features and body shape.

Three-dimensional painting sounds difficult, and it looks very high, but it is nothing more than the processing of light and shadow, the difference in proportion, and some composition skills, as long as you have a little bit of painting foundation, it is not difficult to master.

Although it was the first time to draw a three-dimensional figure, I had actually practiced countless times in my mind, and there was no pause in the pen, and in a short time, the woman who looked like Liu Ruyi had already appeared on the rice paper.

It's just that unlike ordinary paintings, the woman on the picture not only looks vivid, no different from a real person, but also has a little more agility, as if she is about to come out of the painting in the next moment.

General three-dimensional paintings, most of them are controlled by proportion, the adjustment of light and shadow, and the three-dimensional effect can only be shown from a special point of view, Li Yi has made a little weakening in this regard, so that the three-dimensional sense is not so strong, greatly retaining the good proportions, and creating a feeling of imminent out.

Those overly impactful pictures, people who want to come to this era are not so easy to accept, and the change will come little by little, this is just the first small attempt made by Li Yi.

After finishing the painting, after carefully studying it for a while, Li Yi nodded, indicating that he was quite satisfied with his work.

When he looked up, he suddenly faced an unfamiliar face, because Li Yi's movements were too abrupt, and the other party didn't seem to react, the tips of the noses of the two people were only a few centimeters apart, if they were a little closer, I was afraid that Li Yi's first kiss after coming to this world would be gone.

Especially if the other party is still a man, although this man is still a little handsome, but if such a thing really happens, I'm afraid he will be disgusted for at least ten days and a half months.

"Who are you?"

Li Yi took two steps back abruptly, looked at the young man standing on the other side of the table with disgust, and was looking at Liu Ruyi's portrait with a surprised gaze, and blurted out.

The richly dressed young man who looked about the same age as Li Yi was still staring at the painting that Li Yi had just completed, and sighed a few words of admiration, "This painting is so strange, the woman in the painting seems to be coming out of the paper......"

Li Yi pursed his lips, although this guy was wearing a human-like look, he was also a dirt bun who had never seen anything in the world, but it was just a three-dimensional painting, so he was surprised to look like this.

"It's a peculiar painting." The young man muttered a sentence in his mouth, and then looked up at Li Yi, and said with interest: "Just use this style to draw a picture for this son." ”

"Don't draw."

Li Yi didn't look at him at all, said lightly, and sat back in the chair. After standing for so long just now, my waist was sore, but I still sat comfortably.

"Why?" The young man was stunned for a moment and asked.

"I'm sorry, but the principle of painting is to only draw women, not men." Li Yi said lazily.

The young man raised his eyebrows when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect this street painting show to have such rules, looked him up and down, and suddenly said, "One or two silver." ”

"A tael of silver?" Li Yiyan's heart moved slightly when he heard this.

One tael of silver is almost equivalent to a thousand copper coins, which is enough to buy two stones of rice at current prices.

One stone of rice is about 150 catties, which is enough to eat rice every day, which is enough for a family of four to eat for a while.

Looking at what this guy is wearing, he doesn't look like a poor man, just the jade pendant hanging around his waist is probably worth a lot of money, it shouldn't be for him.

However, ----- manly husband, how can he bend his waist for just two stones of rice?

Li Yi shook his head: "I don't paint a tael of silver." ”

"Five taels."

The young man saw that Li Yi was obviously a little moved just now, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, and said again.

"Five taels of silver, ten stones of rice......" The expression on Li Yi's face was tangled, and after a long time, he squeezed out a few words from his throat, "Five taels don't draw!" ”

A manly man, ten stone meters can't bend his waist!

"Ten taels!"

The young man said again with an indifferent expression.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yi stood up from the chair suddenly, this sudden move startled the young man, seeing this scene, in a corner not far away, several figures squatting there to rest stood up suddenly, and one hand couldn't help touching his waist.

At this moment, Li Yi patted the young man on the shoulder cordially, and said with a smile: "When I saw Brother Tai for the first time just now, I had a very familiar feeling. ”

Looking at the scholar on the other side, it suddenly seemed to be a different person, and the young man was stunned, and he couldn't react for a while.
