"This, this, this, this..." The sheep showed early symptoms of stuttering.
Han Qi touched the edge of the frame and said: "This painting is called Driving on the Seasons. In fact, I also gave it a simple name, called Four Seasons."
"Four Seasons, it sounds really nice."
Sheep finally understands why some people say Han Qi is a master on the Internet.
As for aesthetics, Han Qi has studied it thoroughly. This painting has completely entered her heart. It can even be said that this painting is the most beautiful painting she has seen in decades.
In the future, a picture with a sentiment will appear in my mind.
Sheep looked at it for a long time, finally came to his senses, cleared his throat and asked: "You mentioned this painting on Weibo before, right? I still have some impressions, are you ready to take a photo and post it on Weibo?
?It will definitely gain a lot of fans."
"I'm not prepared for this." Han Qi said, "I have signed an agreement with a gallery in Norway for these flowers. They will help me display them to increase my reputation and sell them for a good price. During this period, I cannot let the high-definition version of this painting appear in
On the Internet.”
"oh……"
The sheep nodded in confusion.
"If you like it, I recommend you to go to the (cold nordic) art exhibition held in Yanjing next week. One of my previous paintings will be on display. They will also pick this one up in two days."
"I will definitely go."
Sheep has been to art exhibitions several times before, but this time she really wanted to go.
After visiting the paintings, a lot of time was wasted.
Sheep decided to get down to business.
"It's been an hour before I know it, and I almost forgot the main purpose of coming here today - honey crisp snacks!"
Han Qi stretched out his finger and emphasized like a teacher lecturing: "It's Guifei Hong Qijuan Red Crispy... Ha, but it can also be called Honey Crispy Dessert. Do you want to learn?"
"I miss you so much." She nodded.
She spent a whole day at home thinking about how to make it. She couldn't finish smelling the roses, eating the crispy and delicious meringue cake, and the aftertaste was full of lychee honey. She didn't think about the first step.
"Okay, then I will teach you, and by the way, I will also teach the audience sitting in front of the computer."
The kitchen is in the corner of the living room. The open kitchen is very suitable for sheep, and the kitchen at her home is also like this.
"I bought a centrifuge, did you know that?"
"I know, I think it's a kitchen utensil used to separate roses and make distilled rose water."
"Haha, it's indeed kitchen utensils."
This thing is a separator when placed in the laboratory, and it is a kitchen utensil when placed in the kitchen of a gourmet chef.
When Sheep spoke, he was also waiting for Han Qi's answer. He realized that he was right and continued: "Is it really the usage I mentioned? But I used the distilled water to knead the dough, and it still didn't appear as you mentioned.
Rose-flavored dough.”
"Half of it needs to be heated to stimulate the aroma."
Han Qi talked about his method and started to demonstrate.
It takes a lot of time to separate the rose water. Han Qi used this time to explain the process of kneading the dough carefully, dividing it into several steps. After the rose water was separated, Han Qi demonstrated it on the spot.
Sheep smelled the dough made by Han Qi, nodded and said: "It does have a scent, but it's so bland."
Han Qi laughed and said, "What do you think?"
If the juice from fried roses is not used to knead the dough, how could it have a strong taste?
High-end perfumes don't just have a little fragrance. Only low-quality perfumes can make people smell a certain floral fragrance that makes people with allergies sneeze from a few meters away. Less but more refined is the key to high-end cuisine.
Essence.
Sheep watched Han Qi slowly make a puff pastry and said, "It turns out that there was food similar to molecular cuisine in ancient times."
"Chinese cuisine has been passed down for so many years, and there are too many recipes that we don't know about that have been lost. Otherwise, there must be more delicious dishes."
The sheep nodded in agreement.
She also often restores some delicacies she has seen in ancient books, but most of them are failures. Some dishes are not taught by anyone, and it is difficult to complete them independently based on one person's understanding.
Han Qi did it a little slower this time, and the puff pastry was freshly baked an hour later.
He slightly improved the method by frying the pancakes and heating them in the oven to evaporate the water on the surface of the puff pastry pancakes, making them crispier.
Six pastry cakes were placed on the table in the living room. Han Qi took off his waist and said, "Please taste them."
Sheep put the camera on the table and said in surprise: "There is indeed a strong rose fragrance. It is completely different from what I made, but why didn't you smell much just now?"
"This is his last scent. When the pastry cools down, the rose scent will disappear, and you can't smell it again if you heat it again."
"Then can I have one?"
"Of course, this is just for entertaining you, come and eat."
Han Qi also sat down and picked up one of them.
He also likes to eat them. He only ate two of them before and the others were packaged and given to netizens.
The method is too troublesome. From the initial separation to the final product, it takes at least an hour and a half... This is relatively fast. If Han Qi hadn't done it and the craftsman didn't have any experience, it would have cost two or three dollars to make one pancake.
Hours are normal.
It may not be possible yet.
Sheep originally wanted to be reserved in front of the camera and talk about his feelings, but when the words came to his lips...
"Then I won't be polite."
I’ll dub my thoughts later. Of course, eating is the most important thing now.
The crispiness on the surface of the pastry wraps up the softness on the inside. The pastry breaks into pieces as soon as you bite it. Although the skin inside is not crispy, it is extremely chewy. It pops open when you close your teeth, giving you the chewy texture often mentioned in gourmet shows.
, the lychee honey contained inside bursts out.
"Wow~~~"
After eating a piece of cake in one go, the sheep couldn't help closing his eyes and shouting.
Before she could swallow the warm puff pastry, a ball of hot steam came out of her mouth as she opened her mouth.
With the scent of roses.
The two of them finished the six cakes. Han Qi had finished his addiction of the past few days, while Sheep had finished his addiction at once.
She ate four, and Han Qi ate two.
It's not good to eat too much of this stuff, it's quite greasy.
After all, it is fried food. Although there is lychee honey in it to neutralize it, if you eat too much, you will want to drink something, so it is not advisable to eat too much. Two or three are just right.
The sheep lay on the sofa with a satisfied look on his face and shouted: "I will never eat anything again tonight."
Han Qi smiled and said, "Really?"
Yesterday, she and Du Haoping made an appointment to eat Husband and Wife's Beef Slices tonight. Han Qi happened to know that there was a small restaurant that made Husband's and Wife's Slices very well, so she made an appointment for the three of us to eat at this restaurant tonight.
In fact, the sheep can only be said a few words. If you really want to eat other things, you can still eat two bowls of rice.
joke.
How could the owner of the food section, who has eight million fans, be full after just eating four pancakes?
The recorded video was almost enough. Sheep turned off the recording, but still sat on the sofa without wanting to get up. He closed his eyes and enjoyed it, and asked: "Where did you buy this sofa? It's so comfortable to sit on."
"Quanyou's customized living room set probably cost more than 100,000 yuan."
Sheep quickly stood up, looked at the sofa, and then looked at other things in the living room.
"Suit? What's included?"
"Actually, the sofa is the only one that is more comfortable. There is nothing else. All the furniture in my home is designed and customized by me."
Only then did Sheep remember that Han Qi's identity as a designer was listed in Baidu Encyclopedia.
What a versatile person.
The two rested for a while and waited for Du Haoping to call before going out. Han Qi took them to the small restaurant where Wang Zheng had invited for dinner. It is said that this restaurant has been open for more than 30 years, and the owner relies on this restaurant.
I earned three houses and sent my daughter to graduate school abroad.
Sheep has taken the material and will go back after tonight. Du Haoping has also finished his own business.
Han Qi thought for a while and did not take up any more of their time. During the meal, he recommended Jinli and Kuanzhai Alley, and then drove home alone.
These two places are pitfalls, that’s true. People who live in Rongcheng can easily name several places that are better than Jinli.
But I have to say that Jinli is the most suitable street for tourists. There are many tourists here. It has a relatively concentrated concentration of traditional toys and food. There is also a special theater for performing traditional Sichuan Opera face-changing.
By the way, there is only one face-changing version left in Sichuan Opera.
Back home, Han Qi called Xu Yanmei.
"Sister Yanmei."
"Brother Han, is your painting finished?"
"Well, I finished the painting this morning. I'll ask someone to pick it up sometime."
Xu Yanmei breathed a sigh of relief on the phone and said with surprise:
"You have finished the painting. I don't think you are slow in painting, but the exhibition will start in five days. My friends have told me that there will be a new painting of yours this time. If you don't finish it, I will be embarrassed."
Already."
"Slow work will lead to careful work."
"It's true, it's true. Then I'll find someone to come here. Tomorrow morning... no, no, I'll be here right away. You wait for the call."
After hanging up the phone, Han Qi muttered: "In such a hurry?"
I've never seen her push me before.
Half an hour later, the security guard called and asked if he had contacted the insurance company.
"Well, let him come up."
After a while, the door opened, and several people wearing insurance company uniforms stood at the door.
"Mr. Han, let's get the painting."
The two young men behind whispered: "It's really Han Qi's home."
"As expected, he is from our Chengdu city, haha. It's a pity that we can't take pictures, otherwise I would definitely ask for a group photo."
The leader, a middle-aged man, was holding a special suitcase specially designed for storing oil paintings. The outside looked like it was made of black leather. After opening it, he saw that there were several plastics inside to fix the picture frame, and it was surrounded by black foam.
Han Qi cooperated and put the painting in, and asked: "Who insured this painting?"
"It's a lady from Europe. I need your signature here."
Han Qi picked up the contract and flipped through it quickly.
The insured amount of this painting is 20 million Chinese coins, and the insured amount cannot be seen in the contract.
It will take effect after Han Qi signs the contract.
Han Qi wrote his name one stroke at a time, and handed over the painting and the contract to them. The staff members kept their eyes on the painting until the suitcase was locked, and then they reluctantly looked back.
The young people who followed me for internship were very emotional.
Is this the painting with an insurance coverage of 20 million? After living for so many years, I discovered for the first time that a painting really has a soul. The scenery is so beautiful.
The insurance company is from China, and it seems that Dale has also arrived in Yanjing.
Dale has been busy with the exhibition tour in Europe, and I don’t know if it is finished yet.
Han Qi went back to the bedroom and turned on the computer. He wanted to play a few games and sleep, but after thinking about it, it was better to call Del. After all, he had insured his work with such a high amount of insurance, and he had not paid anything.
"Ms. Dale, have you come to China?" Han Qi asked in Norwegian.
"Yes, I came the day before yesterday. I am currently a guest at Xu's home. I just heard that your new painting was completed today. How is it? How does it compare with the previous one?"
“Absolutely not bad.”
When he painted "Daytime", Han Qi never expected that so many things would happen later, so he painted it more casually and not seriously.
Even Dale said that she liked Trieste's look better.
This has attracted a lot of attention in the oil painting world. Han Qi is very curious about how a painting he painted seriously will react.
Hearing that Han Qi was so confident, Dell was also very happy and said:
"Then you should be free to come to Yanjing, right? I'll wait for you here, and we can decorate the venue for the art exhibition together. I heard that you still think of yourself as an architect, and I really hope to hear your opinions."
"We will meet, Dale. I will arrive in Yanjing tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest."
After hanging up the phone, Han Qi's excitement took a long time to dissipate.
An exhibition of your own.
Han Qi had never paid attention to the art exhibitions in Europe before. He only learned from chatting with Dale that the popularity of each exhibition location was high. When traveling in the UK, he also learned about the art exhibitions from others.
But it's too far after all.
But this time it was at my doorstep, and the audience was more of my compatriots.
There is an old saying that wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, just like walking in brocade at night.
No matter how famous his paintings are spread abroad, he himself remains normal. There are invitations to lectures from several famous schools on Twitter, so Han Qi doesn't have much emotional fluctuations. Until today, he heard that Sheep liked his paintings.
, and seeing the shocked eyes of several insurance personnel, he felt a sense of pride.
This feeling is a bit like when you see so many people liking your work on the day of a book signing.
………………
Two days later, Han Qi's plane landed at Yanjing Airport.
Dai Er and Xu Yanmei were outside the airport.
Han Qi threw his backpack in the trunk of the car and asked the two people in the car, "Why are you all here?"
Xu Yanmei said enthusiastically: "Of course I'm here to pick you up, little brother Han, your new painting is really, really... so beautiful. How did you come up with the idea of painting it like this?"
Dale was also very excited and nodded repeatedly after hearing what the two said. Even though he is several decades old, his mood swings are still the same as those of a young girl.
She said: "You will definitely become famous, just after today, believe me."
They saw the painting in the morning. The insurance company sent the painting over with the highest protection procedures along the way. When the suitcase was opened, everyone who saw her was stunned.
It took a few minutes for anyone to come to their senses.
"I believe you, Dale." Han Qi said with a smile, and then also got into the car.
