Chapter 301 A Meal of Mutton Soup in Exchange for a Painting
After only posting two videos, he gained 250,000+ fans.
Moreover, it is expected to exceed 300,000+ today.
Luo Yanning became more confident in the mission of [Fan Raising Madman].
After finishing the mutton soup and the oven-roasted pancakes, Luo Yanning went to the cashier to check out with the proprietress.
"No, no, I've agreed to treat you."
The landlady put the payment code on the counter on the table and asked Luo Yanning to scan the code without saying anything.
Luo Yanning held her cell phone and said dumbfounded: "Sister, if you can give me a coin to like my video, it is already the greatest support for me. There is really no need to waive the order. Your mutton is also bought with money."
"Brother, if you are really embarrassed, can you draw a picture for my daughter? She has always liked you. My husband and I follow you because she recommended us."
As the proprietress spoke, she took out a family photo of a family of three from the counter and gave it to Luo Yanning.
The boss and the proprietress Luo Yanning in the photo both look familiar. They are both fair and fat, and look very rich.
The little girl between the two was thin and small, as if she had been squeezed by the two.
Luo Yanning smiled bitterly and said, "The key is, I didn't bring a pen either..."
"I have it! I have it! Just wait a moment, little brother!" After the boss lady finished speaking, she happily ran to a storage room-like room next to her.
Within a minute of entering, the proprietress took out an easel, a palette, and a dozen colorful bottles.
"..." Luo Yanning saw the boss's wife making a bunch of professional tools, and immediately felt dumbfounded. He began to wonder if he had been tricked.
It is no exaggeration to say that if you exchange a meal of mutton soup for a piece of Luo Yanning's work, the boss lady will definitely make a profit.
The [Painting Skill] obtained by Luo Yanning through the [Super Scenic Area System] is directly the full "system level", which is one level higher than the master level.
Although he is not well-known in the painting world, his paintings also have certain artistic value.
The proprietress gathered a bunch of tools and came forward, smiling and saying: "Brother, do you think these are good or not? These are the tools my daughter uses to learn painting. I don't know if you can use them smoothly."
"Okay, can you just paint here?" Luo Yanning looked around and saw that there weren't many people in the shop at the moment.
The landlady said: "If you are afraid of being disturbed and need to meditate, I will take you to a quieter place."
"Forget it, let's just stay here. I have to leave after painting and rush to work."
Luo Yanning raised her hand and glanced at her watch. It was already 8:47 in the morning, and she rejected the proprietress's suggestion to change places.
The movement between the two people attracted the attention of several tables of guests eating in the restaurant, and they all cast curious glances at the two people.
Under the curious eyes of everyone, Luo Yanning set up the easel and chatted with the proprietress casually, asking her what she wanted to paint.
"You don't need to draw my husband and me, just draw our daughter alone."
"She usually likes to wear skirts when she is not going out at home, but she never dares to go out wearing them for fear of others laughing at her."
"For this painting, can you change the jeans she is wearing into a more girlish pink skirt?"
"I'll look for photos on Taobao for you."
"That's it, draw this skirt."
"Is it too troublesome? If it is too troublesome, just draw it according to your own ideas. I am a complete layman and don't understand anything. You don't have to listen to me."
"I'm really good at drawing! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much, it's so troublesome for you!"
After talking about the content of the painting, Luo Yanning also mixed the colors in the palette and started painting.
The lady boss asked again: "Brother, can I record the painting process? Don't worry, I'm just showing it to my daughter and will never post it online."
"You can record it, and you can post it online if you want." Luo Yanning agreed with a smile and did not refuse the boss lady's request. Now is the critical period to increase fans. Naturally, the more tap water like the boss lady of the mutton soup restaurant, the better.
"Thank you, thank you! Thank you so much!" The proprietress said a few words of thanks to Luo Yanning and then took out her mobile phone from her pocket with excitement and started recording.
First, Luo Yanning used the "nostril positioning method" to draw the two nostrils of a nose on the drawing paper.
Then, he drew another head that looked like a child's doodles.
"What is this painting? The painting style is so crude and wild!"
"Ahem, why do I feel like this guy has the same style as my son who is in the second grade of elementary school, and he walks like a rough wind..."
"The whole thing is so harmonious, I thought it was a great god, but I didn't expect it to be bronze..."
Luo Yanning's simple and crude painting style and irregular and thick lines were ruthlessly criticized by the customers at several tables around her.
"..." When the landlady saw the "flower-like" cartoon characters drawn by Luo Yanning on the paper, her hand holding the phone trembled, and she felt extremely complicated.
Did you hire the wrong person?
Is this... really the master of painting that my daughter said?
Why doesn’t it look like that!
The childish lines drawn by Luo Yanning gave the boss lady a feeling that I can do it even in my own life.
With the little painting skills Luo Yanning has shown so far, let alone a bowl of mutton soup, a bunch of mutton skewers are not worth it!
The landlady continued to look down patiently.
Luo Yanning quickly used thick and crazy lines on the paper to outline a character that looked just like the cartoon characters in the old cartoons decades ago.
After drawing the outline of the whole body, Luo Shuning started from the beginning and began to draw the hair and hairstyle of the character.
Swish, swish, swish--!
The system-level painting ability allows people to enter that extremely focused state anytime and anywhere.
Luo Shuning held the palette in one hand and the oil pen in the other hand and kept inking on the painting.
Soon, the customers at the two tables next to him, including the boss lady, were slapped in the face.
In just a few strokes, Luo Shuning turned the lines that were like weeds standing upside down on the cartoon character's head into extremely realistic hair.
"What a unique technique... I was blind, I didn't expect that he was a master!"
"Awesome, really amazing! This hair is drawn like it was taken by a camera."
"I really didn't see the wrong person!"
Just a part of the hair completely changed everyone's view of Luo Shuning.
Soon, in just a dozen or twenty seconds, Luo Shuning finished drawing the character's hair and the shape.
The similarity is 100% with the hairstyle of the girl in the photo. Even if you put the two together, you probably can't find any difference.
After drawing the hair, Luo Shuning began to draw the facial features of the character, face shape, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, lips, and teeth.
Soon, Luo Shuning drew the girl's head.
"Brother, your painting skills are really amazing! It looks like it, too much like it! I can't tell whether it was taken by a camera or painted by a person!"
After seeing the girl's head drawn by Luo Shuning, the boss lady exclaimed excitedly.
As the mother of the girl in the painting, the boss lady is naturally very familiar with her daughter.
The girl in Luo Shuning's painting is vivid and lifelike, just like her reflection in the water.
"It's amazing, it's amazing! You can draw like this, I've really opened my eyes today!"
"There are experts among the people! I thought he was a bronze, but he turned out to be a king!"
"I take back what I said before... I will wake up laughing in my dreams if my son can have one tenth of this guy's ability in the future."
After Luo Shuning started painting, he entered a very focused state, just like wearing a pair of noise-canceling headphones.
In this state, Luo Shuning turned a deaf ear to the comments of people around him and was completely immersed in the painting he was drawing.
The crowd watching nearby no longer just watched the show, but took out their mobile phones to start recording videos.
Such precious pictures of great people painting on the spot can attract countless viewers to watch and comment on any platform, and it is easy to cause heated discussions.
Such "hot works" of border inspection are worth a lot of money.
In a short while, more than a dozen mobile phones of various models and prices were erected around Luo Shuning.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
Ten minutes later, Luo Shuning finished the last stroke and threw the brush in his hand into the palette.
"It's done."
Luo Shuning turned to look at the proprietress, and then he realized that he had been surrounded by people.
"Brother, you are so awesome! The painting is so realistic!"
"Great, great! You must be the art teacher of that school, right?"
"Brother, can you paint a picture for my girlfriend? I'll pay 800, no, 1,000 yuan a picture!"
The onlookers saw that Luo Shuning had finished painting, and they put away their phones. Some admired him, and some wanted to pay him to help paint.
"I really don't have time today. I'm almost late for work here. Let's talk about it later."
Luo Shuning smiled and perfunctorily said, and everyone was very tactful and didn't chase him to paint.
"Young man, your cooking skills are amazing. Today we have taken advantage of you. Come anytime this month and I will provide you with mutton soup for a month."
Originally, the proprietress felt that she was at a disadvantage by treating Luo Shuning to a meal of mutton soup in exchange for a painting.
After seeing the finished product, the proprietress's thoughts completely changed. It turned out that she had taken advantage of it.
Based on the level of Luo Shuning's performance in this painting, let alone a meal of mutton soup, it is more than a meal of roasted whole lamb!
"Sister, don't be so polite. You treat me to a meal of mutton soup, and I will give you a painting. We are even."
Luo Shuning wiped his hands with a wet towel and said, "We will settle the accounts in the future. Otherwise, I dare not come to your place to drink mutton soup."
"Well, okay..." Seeing Luo Shuning's firm attitude, the proprietress stopped persuading him, "Come often in the future, and I will give you a discount."
"Okay, then I'll leave first."
Luo Shuning agreed, did not stay any longer, and turned to go out.
"This guy is so awesome. I didn't expect that there are such talents in our Shishi!"
"More than a talent! He is definitely a genius!"
"Yes, this painting is so good. It looks like a real person."
"This dress, this expression, this color, it's amazing!"
"Boss lady, you made a profit today. Once this painting is hung on the wall, it will be a living advertisement."
As soon as Luo Xunning left, a group of onlookers in the store surrounded the boss lady, looking at the painting in her hand with great envy.
The boss lady listened to the compliments of the crowd and felt very happy.
A meal of mutton soup in exchange for such a precious painting is definitely a big profit.
Someone reminded the boss lady: "Boss lady, don't just laugh there. Find someone to frame the painting quickly. I think your painting will be worth a lot of money in the future."
"Is it...really?" The proprietress looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was a middle-aged man with black-framed glasses and a side-parted hair.
The middle-aged man was called Wang Lianjun, a resident of Tianyuan Community and a regular customer of this mutton soup restaurant.
The mutton soup restaurant has been open for seven or eight years. Wang Lianjun has been coming here frequently since it first opened. He is a regular customer older than Luo Xunning.
"Teacher Wang! You are a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts. You said it is valuable, so it must be true!"
The proprietress knew that Wang Lianjun taught at Shishi Academy of Fine Arts, so the words she said were more convincing.
Wang Lianjun stepped forward and asked, "Boss, can you lend me the painting in your hand to take a good look?"
"Yes, yes, yes, of course, Teacher Wang, please take a look, everyone, please make way, the painting has been touched."
The proprietress was like a "treasure owner" holding a treasure and asking an expert to identify it. She moved the drawing board in front of Wang Lianjun with an eager face.
When the crowd heard that the painting was extremely valuable, they quickly hid far away, fearing that they would be asked to pay compensation if they touched it.
"Although the painting is well done, it is not as exaggerated as you say. I follow several painters on the BL site, and they are all at this level."
"The reason why you think his painting is awesome is just because you have little experience."
Suddenly, a very discordant voice sounded at the scene.
Everyone turned their heads at the same time and saw a young man with a cynical expression.
The young man pointed at the waist of the girl in the painting and said, "Besides, look here, isn't that a very obvious bad spot? It's so obvious, can't you see it?"
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by the young man, and there was indeed a small dot that didn't match the overall color and looked a bit abrupt.
That small dot was at most the size of a grain of rice. Unless you pay close attention, ordinary people really can't see it.
"Really? If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all."
"Although there are some small flaws, it's also a good painting."
"Yes, it's rare to be able to draw such a painting in ten minutes. Who can't make some mistakes?"
"Is it a mistake? I don't think so..."
Wang Lianjun stroked the frame on his nose and got closer to see the flaws pointed out by the young man. This look was amazing.
"Good painting! It's amazing! This is not a flaw! It's a thread on the clothes!"
Wang Lianjun was even more amazed when he saw Luo Xuning's treatment of details. He turned his head and looked at the boss lady with excitement and said: "Boss lady, your painting can appreciate several times because of this place!"
"What! It's a thread on the clothes? Let me see!"
After hearing Wang Lianjun's painting, the young man who had just questioned it also got excited and got close to the drawing board to see it.
