A painter's reputation is enhanced through exhibitions. If you want to become a painter, this process is inevitable.
So Xu Yanmei's worries are completely unreasonable, and it's not a bad thing. Besides, she is also Del's friend, and Han Qi will not refuse based on the relationship between Han Qi and Del.
"Thank you then. I am very slow at creating a painting. I really can't finish a painting in a while."
"I understand, after all, it is normal for classical painting to take time. By the way, if the painting from Dell Gallery is put on display, do you mind if I tell you the price of that painting?"
"I don't mind." Han Qi said as he put down his coffee.
Mocha is a type of coffee that he liked very much during this period. It has the strong aroma of espresso and the milky aroma of milk. After traveling in Mongolia, Tibet, and Northern Europe, he didn’t learn anything else. Tasting milk is considered an introduction.
.
"There are very few people in Tianfu who are as polite as you. Relax a little." Han Qi said, "Well, it's getting late. How about I treat you to a meal of Tianfu specialties?"
“Specials?”
“It’s just hot pot.”
"Uh, forget it, I'm from Shanghai and I'm not used to spicy food."
"You can eat mandarin duck hotpot, the kind with half red oil and half clear soup."
Xu Yanmei came all the way from Norway, and Han Qi also wanted to show his kindness to the landlord.
Sichuan cuisine is now spread all over the country, not to mention domestically, there are many abroad. He thinks Xu Yanmei must have eaten it.
So let’s eat hot pot.
Authentic Rongcheng hot pot is hard to find in other places outside of Tianfu. Most hot pots in other places have no soul.
Xu Yanmei was very hesitant, but Han Qi was a painter she valued very much, and she could not refuse his kindness. Finally, she followed Han Qi to a hot pot restaurant.
The hot pot in Rongcheng is different from that in Shancheng.
Han Qi has also tried Shancheng Hot Pot. They have been using butter since a long time ago. Butter becomes more fragrant the more you cook it and does not need to use too many spices.
Authentic Shancheng hotpot uses old oil, that is, the oil is recycled after cooking once.
A few years ago, due to food hygiene issues, the country banned the use of the same oil multiple times, and many people in mountain cities were unhappy.
Let’s talk about Tianfu hot pot. In the past, vegetable oil was used, which lacked the aroma. So a lot of spices had to be added to the hot pot, so the aroma was stronger than that of Shancheng hot pot. It was spicy and numb.
Although there are two kinds of hot pot now, you have me and you have me, but if you do a little research on food, you can still find the authentic Chengdu hot pot.
The two of them sat down in a small shop with only three storefronts.
This restaurant is called Pang Ge Rongcheng Hot Pot. The name is very popular. There are definitely more than 50 hot pot restaurants with this name across the country. But the taste is really good. Han Qi has been to this restaurant seven or eight times.
The boss also remembers Han Qi. After all, there are relatively few people driving Porsches to his house to eat hot pot.
When the mandarin duck pot was served, Xu Yanmei's pounding heart finally calmed down when she saw the clear soup with white flowers, and she felt that she should be able to eat some.
Han Qi kept introducing dishes for Xu Yanmei to taste.
Being abroad for a long time, it must have been a long time since I had good food.
Norway is a small place to begin with. Han Qi also traveled in northern Norway for a long time and traveled everywhere.
I have personally experienced which dishes taste good and which dishes taste bad.
The scenery and people are nice, but the taste of the food is really not that good.
Many chefs make dishes that are at best a little more delicious than Zang cuisine.
Xu Yanmei ate happily at first...but gradually, her expression changed.
So spicy.
My mouth is numb.
Why? I don’t add chili pepper to the seasoning and I have been eating clear soup. Why is it so spicy?
Do you also put chili pepper in the clear soup?
Her heavily powdered face was as red as a prawn, which was very conspicuous. Of course Han Qi also saw it, which was very strange.
Can anyone really eat clear soup that is so spicy? Moreover, the ingredients in the bowl are very light, with no chili pepper at all.
If it's spicy...the spiciness of the dish itself?
It’s better not to invite your southern friends to hot pot in the future. This...
Han Qi tried not to look at Xu Yanmei's face as he finished the meal. Xu Yanmei rarely ate for the rest of the meal. She sat across from her and drank iced yogurt, looking at Han Qi as if she were an alien.
How could he eat it?
At this moment, Xu Yanmei suddenly felt that Darwin was right. Although they were all Chinese, the different regions gave people different evolutionary choices. Maybe the Tianfu people chose a stomach that could eat chili peppers.
At the end of the meal, the Lord is full of joy.
Han Qi was very happy. He had wanted to come here to eat hot pot for a long time, but he didn't want to come when he was alone.
The only drawback is that the guests are not happy with their meal.
When Han Qi drove her back to the hotel, he said, "You don't seem to have eaten much today. I'll take you to eat something else tomorrow. The food here in Tianfu is still very rich, with more staple foods and snacks."
Xu Yanmei's lips were already red and swollen. When she heard Han Qi say that he wanted to invite her to dinner, she was shocked and quickly refused.
"I will leave tomorrow and go back to Norway to contact other painters."
"So anxious?"
"Yes, I have a lot to do. When I returned home, I came to you specifically to ask about painting. I'm glad you agreed."
"No matter what, I will agree even if you just make a phone call."
After seeing off Xu Yanmei, Han Qi drove home. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw Wang Zheng smoking a cigarette at the door. His expression was particularly melancholy.
Han Qi was stunned.
"Brother Wang, when did you come?"
When Wang Zheng found out that Han Qi was back, he threw away his cigarette angrily and yelled, "Where's your phone number?"
"I forgot to charge it last night and turned it off."
"I'm..."
Wang Zheng raised his hand to threaten Han Qi, expressed his indignation, then lowered his hand and said, "Open the door! I've been waiting for you at the door for half an hour, and I can't get through the phone. You..."
He paused.
Sniff...
"You went to eat hot pot? Alone?"
Han Qi opened the door with a magnetic card and said, "There is also a friend from abroad who came to see me specifically."
"Forget it, remember to charge your phone next time you go out."
He really forgot. He was waiting for Wang Zheng at home. He was going to play games at home during the day and not go out, so he didn't think about charging. Later, he also played with his mobile phone in the cafe, and then he played with his mobile phone.
Shut down.
After entering the house, Wang Zheng went to pour a glass of water by himself.
Wang Zheng is a little more familiar with this house. He came here every day in the past few days.
The two sat down on the sofa, and Wang Zheng said: "I found some people about your book and helped you become a hot search. Coupled with your popularity in the travel circle, there are still many people who want to buy the book. In the future
You are also a best-selling author."
"Haha, then you are also the agent of a best-selling author."
Wang Zheng's face changed and he put down the water glass.
"You just signed me up for music, and then you go out to do things every day without singing. How dare you say that I'm your manager? I'm just like a nanny."
When it comes to this issue, Han Qi also becomes serious.
"Brother Wang, I'd better set up a studio. You can continue to be my agent and I'll give you a share of the shares."
Starting a company is what Han Qi has always wanted to do, and it’s not for anything else, it’s mainly about money. Personal taxes are much more expensive than corporate taxes. In the past, there was no problem in doing small things, but soon it will be involved.
When your income reaches tens of millions of euros, you cannot always pay this tax as an individual.
Moreover, Wang Zheng is a very good person and has strong abilities, so Han Qi can rest assured that she can leave her chores to him in the future.
"Give me shares?"
"Well, 20% of the shares, and then you can form a team to operate my various works."
Twenty percent.
Wang Zheng agreed without much thought.
He only thought about two aspects. One was whether he could make money - did he still need to think about it? Han Qi was a genius, there was no doubt about it. The noodles he made in two hours sold for tens of thousands on the Internet.
, a painting can be sold for tens of millions of euros.
Joining Han Qi's studio and owning 20% of the shares will definitely make money.
The second question is whether there are any risks in cooperating with Han Qi.
He didn't think much about this.
He and Han Qi had known each other very early, when Han Qi had just left his hometown and came to a big city for the first time. He had known each other since he was a musical instrument store owner. He had been responsible for many things about Han Qi in the past year, and even
In my heart, I never regarded Han Qi as a star, but as my little brother.
Otherwise, he would not show Han Qi the house for free and deal with the book issue for free.
"Okay, I agree." Wang Zheng nodded.
But this was all later. He came here today not to discuss opening a studio with Han Qi, but to sell travel notes.
"The newly opened Wanda in Longquan invites you to a book signing event there. Will you go?"
“You can go if you are safe.”
Han Qi does not object to contact with fans. On the contrary, he feels that fans are a group of very cute people who just seem a little scary at certain times. If the scene can be controlled, Han Qi has no reason to object to holding a signing event.
Han Qi had great expectations for this travelogue, which was his dream as a writer.
Having a good start will also be better for subsequent sales.
"Of course it's guaranteed. There are a lot of security guards there, and it's indoors. No matter how many people there are, they have to wait in line and can't squeeze in."
"That's fine."
"Okay, I'll tell them in a moment. And about your song, one meat and one vegetarian, when will it be released?"
"It's a bit late today, let's do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
This song was posted on NetEase Cloud.
It is said that Bilibili and NetEase Cloud are the same family. Han Qi proved that this rumor is indeed true. His editor at Bilibili has been asking when he will continue to publish songs on NetEase Cloud, saying that the signing price will definitely be higher than that of Penguin Music.
high.
Well, an editor at station B has so much responsibility.
From here, Han Qi knew how close the two families were.
After Wang Zheng left, Han Qi turned on the computer in the study room and checked the video sent by the system.
Sure enough, there are two.
One of them is from winter swimming in the Lake of the Brave in Finland, and the other is from Mongolia. It is easy to distinguish because the names of the two are Finland and Mongolia. You can also see it on the cover. One is a land of ice and snow, and the other is a grassland where all things are alive.
.
"Finland, the land of a thousand lakes, a city where ice and fire blend."
On the screen, Han Qi is standing at a station in Finland.
"I came here because I overheard something a Norwegian said unintentionally. He said that Chinese people cannot all winter swim in the Nordic environment. Of course, he did not mean it unintentionally, but in my opinion, this is a mockery of the Chinese people.
.”
"I didn't say that our country also has cities with temperatures tens of degrees below zero, but I came to the coldest place in Northern Europe, which is also their holy land for winter swimming. Finland, North House, Lake of the Brave."
"From ancient times to modern times, 91 people in the world have successfully swam through this place."
"I want to be the 92nd."
"I don't want to prove that I am great, but I want to say that it's not that Chinese people can't do it, it's just that we don't want to do it."
The screen went black amid rapid drumbeats, and then the words Han Qi Finland vlog lit up.
The copywriting of the system this time is good...
Good second grade.
But there is also a little bit of excitement.
Han Qi is an angry youth at heart. Although he can't tell it when he makes friends with foreigners, he doesn't allow anyone to say that China is not good and how can the Chinese people be.
He clicked on another video.
The beginning of this video is different from all the previous videos in that there is no copywriting.
When I click on it, the screen is black, then gradually lights up, and I see Han Qi riding a horse on the grassland. The camera sometimes zooms in and sometimes zooms out. The BGM has a strong American western style, and the video has been rendered and transformed.
Achieving complete movie quality.
I have to say...so handsome.
When Han Qi was riding, he never thought that slowing down would be so cool.
The video is very short, only three minutes, and there is no other sound in the whole video. It silently records Han Qi riding a horse, setting up a tent, meeting a group of prairie wolves, riding a horse and running, and then continues on the road, etc.
It's just a simple record.
The song is very nice.
Han Qi asked: "System, what is the name of this song?"
[Travel Tips: This song is titoli. The songs used in the video recording are not allowed for any form of commercial use. I wish you a happy life and start your next trip as soon as possible]
"..."
"What's the rush?"
Han Qi added his usual endings to the two videos, and then posted them to Bilibili.
"The End of the Cold World—Finland"
"Cycling Two Thousand Miles on the Grassland - Mongolia"
The name of the following video is also the name of a book that Han Qi wants to write. Speaking of which, two thousand miles does not seem to be a very long distance. Other people’s novels are still twenty thousand miles under the sea. But you must know that it is just a novel, and Han Qi’s
It is a true travelogue.
When he saw a wolf, his choice was to ride a horse to avoid the wolf.
It would be great if I had the talent I have now at that time.
A spider sense, a free fighting.
As long as you take a knife, you can easily kill dozens of wolves with no problem.
What a pity.
The two videos were uploaded, and Han Qi opened the celebrity group to call friends and start tonight's journey of losing points. After the previous interviews with Jay Chou and Joker Xue, Han Qi seemed to have more status in the group.
Some people who don't talk often will say hello when they see Han Qi online.
