Those Years I Opened a Zoo

Tan Xiao is a watercolor painter. He is also fifty years old this year. He is a professor at the art department of Donghai University.

At this time, it was already the time for students to take a vacation. Tan Xiao privately liked to coach students who were motivated, so they made a few appointments and went out to sketch together.

Some students have proposed to go to the Lingbi Zoo, which is very hot during this time, to write a living.

“There is a place under the Cape Mountain, the scenery is good, there are many animals, and there are many choices.” The student said, “The most important thing is that the Jiajia restaurant over there is especially delicious...”

"Right right, Jia Jia's Shennong series is delicious, and it's a lifetime!"

"w0\'ka-i, the Loka series is the best to eat. Have you heard that you can't eat bamboo?"

"... who said this, panda?"

Tan Xiao interrupted the students' bickering. "I seem to have heard of it. Hey, how good a restaurant in a zoo can be, you are chasing it out. But since it is in Cape Mountain, then we can go. ”

Tan Xiao took the students to the Lingbi Zoo, and everyone was carrying easels, clips and paints. I did not expect that there are quite a lot of people here, but at least half of them seem to be eating at dinner.

After listening to the conversations of passers-by, Tan Xiaocai knows that there is a new dish to be launched today. Those people lined up in long queues, causing the students to resentfully say that they may not be able to eat today.

It wasn't a weekend that was not a holiday. People should be okay. Who knows how to develop new dishes and has come to so many people.

A zoo, because of the popularity of food, is this a slap in the end or complement each other?

Tan Xiao didn't think much about this question. He didn't care if he could eat it. Anyway, mainly to paint today, Tan Xiao took the students around here and thought it was really good. The scenery in the pavilion is also quite good. Well, it is imitation of the ecological environment.

Originally, Tan Xiao wanted to choose a lion or a white elephant, but when Tan Xiao saw the waterfowl lake, he changed his mind.

It’s so beautiful here.

The lake is crystal clear, with lotus leaves, water plants and water birds reflecting a clear figure. Occasionally, the reflection of the water surface will be broken, because the underwater goldfish and koi are swimming.

The bright red flower buds have not yet bloomed, but the color has already made people feel amazing at first. Tan Xiao is even thinking about how to call out such red.

Not only Tan Xiao, many tourists also sent amazing sighs. I don’t know why the beauty value will rise so much after planting the lotus flower. Even the color of the water seems to have changed. The color is so fascinating and full of oriental beauty. .

"Just here!" Tan Xiao decided.

His disciples responded with a sigh of relief, each putting things down and setting aside the grass on the waterfowl lake.

......

Tan Xiao unfolds the metal retractable easel, draws a picture clip, and first thinks about his painting in his mind, and then draws a high-gram, thicker watercolor paper.

He directly gave up the shape of the pencil, completely wet the whole piece of watercolor paper with a spray bottle, and then spread the green and blue background with a large area of ​​the brush, leaving only a little white on the top. Most of his pictures will be lake. .

Between this green and blue, a series of orange and red are ordered. They spread on the paper and form a nice water mark. At this point, Tan Xiao changed the smaller watercolor pen and continued to paint on the color block.

At this time, many tourists have already discovered these paintings. They gathered around and watched the students. They learned that they are students and professors at Donghai University. It is no wonder.

Tan Xiao is the most watched by him, not only because he is the oldest, but also because the picture is the most arrested.

Tan Xiao himself does not know why, but his state has never been so good. When he heard the sound of bamboo waves from the ear, the breath of the nose and the lotus, and saw the goldfish swinging its own tail of the tulle... He seems to have entered a new realm, and the aura is flashing!

Tan Xiao's bold color mixing allows the viewers who don't understand the painting to feel the impact, but the picture is not dirty at all.

The lake has a rich, transparent color, and it seems to be better to use watercolor. In the vast blue-green lakes, a group of goldfish, koi, and swan flying above the picture form a charming and harmonious contrast.

On the small side of the paper, it perfectly shows the space and level.

Someone couldn’t help but whisper: "It’s so beautiful!"

In the end, Tan Xiao’s students also gave up painting, and collectively came over to watch Tan Xiao, and they were surprised at the level that Tan Xiao showed today.

“Professor Tan...” One student couldn’t help but say, “The rhythm is so good.”

Other students nodded together.

Picture composition, element selection and placement, color position... From this unfinished picture, they can clearly feel the content.

Obviously, Tan Xiao’s level has broken through.

This kind of breakthrough is sometimes a momentary comprehension, and it is actually a speculation in their hearts. Professor Tan is not touched in such an environment. Because they actually feel that it is easier to find the feeling today than usual, but there is no breakthrough like Professor Tan.

At this time, Tan Xiao also had no intention of talking to the outside world, completely immersed in the picture, not even knowing that he had alarmed the staff of the coffin.

Because there are too many people watching the waterfowl lake, the staff said in the WeChat group.

Duan Jiaze heard someone sketching here, couldn't help but ran over and looked at it, and then was surprised by Tan Xiao's painting. He even recognized that the biggest goldfish in the bottom seemed to be inspiration...

Inspiration at the bottom of the picture is also the most "near" element in the painting, the first of all fish, so it is the most prominent.

This painting is really beautiful. Duan Jiaze can still hear the crowd watching the crowd. In fact, he also has a strong urge to buy the original manuscript. After taking a photo of Tan Xiao’s painting with his mobile phone, he sees him. Immersed, I told the staff to leave.

......

Until the afternoon, Tan Xiaocai came out of his own world, and his paintings were almost finished.

The tourists have been scattered. Tan Xiao’s students are starving to death. Their own paintings are all halfway down and the rest of the time is watching Tan Xiao’s paintings.

Tan Xiao discovered that he had just entered a very mysterious realm. Not only did he scratch his head, he thought in his heart that this place was so wonderful, too aura, and inspired him to inspire, and broke through the original realm.

When I was painting, he felt that he was as helpful as God. It seemed that every pen was just right, there was not much water, the color was not deep, and the color was not bad...

However, after self-appreciation, Tan Xiao also felt extreme hunger.

The students said with a slap in the face: "Professor Tan, you are too powerful. After seeing your painting, the head here said that when you finish painting, you are invited to eat at Jiajia Restaurant for free. We didn't go at noon, but also specifically said to have left us a meal."

"w0\'ka-i I want to send the meal to the head of the garden. This painting has not been said. Professor Tan is in a good state today. I dare not call."

"Professor, what is the name of this painting?"

Tan Xiao took a moment and thought about it again and again: "What did you see at first sight."

Everyone said in unison: "Goldfish!"

Although large areas of lakes and lotus leaves, and even the sky in the lake are beautiful, their first impression is still fish, and it is goldfish. It seems to be a line of aura, bringing the whole picture to life, and all the clues are tied to its fishtail.

"Yes, this painting is called "Goldfish"." Tan Xiaozhen is authentic.

.

Tan Xiaohe and his students were invited to Jiajia Restaurant, when the restaurant was no longer open for business.

The waiter brought the specially reserved meals to them, including Shennong grain porridge, oil spring bamboo shoots, pork ribs lotus root soup, fried egg box and so on. Regardless of the taste, the color of the fragrance is already the ultimate, and the people who are hungry will have to flow out.

Tan Xiao just finished painting the lotus leaves. Of course, she was very interested in lotus roots, and the waiter said, "The dishes with lotus roots, lotus seeds, etc. are the new products we launched today, and they received rave reviews!"

Tan Xiaoxian took a bowl of ribs lotus root soup and licked a few lotus roots. First, he took a sip of soup and Tan Xiao felt that the whole person would be swaying.

The soup is so delicious that it is almost swallowed by the tongue, with a rich lotus root sweet and mellow taste, and then bite a very soft lotus root, drag the filament, from the mouth, throat to stomach Filled with musk, it is warm and warm, and the whole person seems to be emptied, leaving only a clear impression of food.

In comparison, although the ribs are cooked, the meat is separated from the bones, but it seems to be inferior to the lotus roots. The role played seems to be just seasoning.

Tan Xiao has been to the north and south of the country for many years, travel, sketching, and has also been to the rich borders of lotus roots, whitefly, crispy, various varieties of glutinous rice, varieties introduced abroad...not to mention the cooking methods, the raw materials of these leeks are absolutely It is the best he has ever tasted.

The sweetness and tenderness contained in it, the appetite is pushed to the top, just simple cooking, it is also delicious, and it is endless. After the soup was taken down, it made people feel soothy and couldn't help but sigh comfortably.

"Come, you young people eat a little more meat..." When Tan Xiao said this, he completely forgot that he was still puzzled by everyone's pursuit of Jiajia Restaurant.

Tan Xiao is glad that he is only eating after painting, otherwise he will be uneasy.

The male student is concerned about the authenticity: "I still eat meat, you are too thin, look really hurt!"

Female students are not to be outdone. "If you really feel bad, let me give it to you. Otherwise, everyone should rely on the ability."

Eating a meal also ate the feeling of Gongdou, and let the meat go out.

Besides, there are ten pieces of the fried box, and each person is divided into two or so. Only two or three mouths are eaten, and Tan Xiao is strongly dissatisfied.

He finally knows why there are so many people who have specially come to the coffin to eat. I used to think that there are factors of hype. Now he feels that how many people should be in this taste,

The pork in the golden frying box is looming, bite down, and slamming, first biting the crispy skin, then for a moment, the rich fried musk is revealed, a little juice is poured into the mouth, mixed Fresh and delicious meat and meat...

Tan Xiaoyu raised his mouth and wiped the juice clean. He didn't feel greasy at all. The fried box squeaked and the smell of the scent spread in the mouth, making people can't help but take a sip of rice.

There is also a bowl of lotus water on the table. It is a simple lotus seed peeled and then boiled with sugar water. The pale yellow lotus seeds are piled up at the bottom of the porcelain bowl. The aroma of the lotus seeds is very fragrant, as if it is smelling, it is very greasy. It is delicious and sweet, and it is very satisfying to drink a few mouthfuls after a meal.

The lotus seeds underneath a bite are crisp and raw, but they are not at all embarrassing. They have removed the heart of the lotus seeds, but they are sweet and not bitter, and they are memorable, and the mood seems to be quiet together.

......

Tan Xiao and his students were very hungry. At this time, they were even more raging, and they madly smashed the food on the table.

Duan Jiaze originally wanted to come and chat with them while eating. When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but sit quietly. He felt that they didn't have time to talk to them.

Until Tan Xiao and others ate a round belly and squatted on the chair, Duan Jiaze slowly walked over. "Hello, I am the head of the Lingbi, my name is Duan Jiaze."

Duan Jiaze sent a business card by the way. This is still a new one. In the past, it was a special grass-roots team. I had a business card some time ago, which is very simple.

The land pressure had also urged him to put his Q version on, and Duan Jiaze said that the style of painting was too inconsistent, or forget it, and made the land pressure angry for ten minutes.

Tan Xiao took the business card and struggled to get up. "Hello, the director, thank you for your hospitality."

Tan Xiao also gave his business card to Duan Jiaze.

"Professor Tan, I saw your paintings, it was really beautiful, and completely depicted the beauty of our waterfowl lake." Duan Jiaze sincerely said, "To be honest, I really want to buy your manuscript."

"This painting... I don't want to sell it for the time being, it doesn't matter. I am here today, in your waterfowl lake, it is really inspired and inspired. Today this painting surpasses my previous highest level, I think More honing and honing.” Tan Xiao said, “But I can send you a scanned copy, thank you for bringing such beauty and food.”

Tan Xiao said this, Duan Jiaze of course agreed, and Tan Xiao chatted, and invited him to come to sketch later.

Duan Jiaze still remembered the painting in his heart, but after a year, Tan Xiao took the painting out for auction. Duan Jiaze was not willing to spend money, so he scanned the printed materials in the garden.

Tan Xiao's "Goldfish" was able to shoot a very good price, and it was also because of the high evaluation in the industry.

Moreover, this painting is very elegant and popular. After seeking the consent of Tan Xiao, Guan Bo and Guan Wei of Lingbi Zoo have released the picture of the painting and creation process.

The comments below are all positive. Many tourists have also learned that the coffin transplanted the lotus.

“The color is so beautiful, and there is the feeling of ecological harmony, like it.”

"The still water swimming fish, the sky and the clouds, seems to be immersed."

"I couldn't help but put a photo. I went to the Lingbi yesterday to eat 藕, and I also saw the lotus. This painting is really not artistically exaggerated, it is so beautiful."

"I didn't go to the coffin for a month, and the waterfowl lake is so beautiful? Not only transplanted the lotus but also changed the water?"

"You can see the fish at the bottom of the water, the layers are clear, the water, the fish clearly separated by water, the lotus flower in the water, the sky in the water and the birds in the sky... The painter is too powerful."

"Beautiful, beautiful, so beautiful, I must go to the coffin, I want to eat it."

"So beautiful, you have to add one, I haven't eat Jia Jia for a long time..."

"It's so beautiful, go to the Lingbi tomorrow to eat."

"It's time to sacrifice my annual ticket..."

......

I won’t say it later.

- However, as the inspiration of the protagonist, the evaluation of this painting is not too high.

After receiving the scanned documents of Tan Xiao, Duan Jiaze deliberately found a professional printing factory, printed it with the most advanced equipment, in order to restore the color, and then hung in the office, the employees looked at the director and had a taste.

After seeing the inspiration alone, commented: "What the hell, the goldfish, the king has taken up such a small piece, the spicy chicken painter, do not know how to deal with the primary and secondary."

He danced and danced. "You should draw a figure that the big king jumped out of the water. It should be in the center of the picture, and the rest of the place should be white, with a focus on the beautiful figure and the generous tail fins..."

In all fairness, the inspirational caudal fin is very beautiful, especially when the water is spread out. However, his kind of taste for painting a big avatar makes everyone very uncomfortable.

Duan Jiaze is very speechless. You say this inspiration, it looks beautiful and beautiful, and it has a long flowing hair. It is in the world of human beings. Everyone will think that he is engaged in art. However, his aesthetic is too simple and rude. It is no wonder that the weapon used is a nine-petal copper hammer...

Turning the lotus into a hammer shows what the aesthetic preference of inspiration is.

It can only be said that the inspiration and Xiong Siqian are the opposite extremes. After the transformation, the appearance can be exchanged. It is no wonder that they both played so well.

Duan Jiaze decided not to talk to the ducks and the ducks, and let others appreciate them. He felt that they could understand the taste of the paintings like Su and Bai Suzhen.

After Xiaoqing looked at it and just wanted to boast, he was pulled by Bai Suzhen and shook his head slightly, indicating that he should not talk. The nine-tailed foxes are more savvy, and they are silent at the moment. Why do you think?

The next second, the land pressure is very dissatisfied: "What do you mean by hanging the inspiration on the office wall?"

Duan Jiaze: "...nothing, it is good-looking."

Land pressure: "Good-looking ghost!!"

Duan Jiaze: "..."

The land pressure is so aggressive: "Where is this goldfish?"

Although Duan Jiaze is a figure who appreciates painting rather than inspiration, whoever makes this painting is called "Goldfish", he really didn't know how to explain it with the guy who had a clear idea. The heart said that this is not the object of Professor Tan’s choice. Professor Tan’s painting of a three-legged Jinwu is also the same.

Duan Jiaze wanted to find inspiration to share the firepower, but he saw that the inspiration for his appearance was not enough. The whole body was shrunk, and gradually, gradually disappeared into a vapour stealth...

Duan Jiaze: ? ?

W0\'ka-i, is there this way of operation?

The inspiration was slipped, and the land pressure did not control him. On the fire section, Jia Ze, Duan Jiaze faced such oppression and tried hard to think about it: "...Dao Jun criticized, in fact, I am also a cloud, and Weibo said good-looking, I Just hung up. But in order to respect the painter, I still keep it and change to the reception room?"

The land pressure is yin and yang: "Change, you change, and then print it on your business card."

Duan Jiaze: "..."

At this time, Su also smiled and said: "I said fair words, painting is actually ok, but it really makes people misunderstand when hanging up. Is this a coffin, is it a goldfish?"

Xiao Qing Mao Sedun opened: "Oh, it seems to be."

...and what, ah, please, no one but you will misunderstand this?

Duan Jiaze arched his hand to everyone. "I will print a few more photos now. I have a photo wall."
