Chapter 26 Brushes are not so picky

Ye Nan was frightened by the old man yesterday and thought that if he hadn't just broken through to the top grade of spirit gathering yesterday morning, he would have to watch the old man die. The old man was lucky.

But if you encounter a suitable talisman when you want to save your life in the future, it would be a big deal. Thinking of this, it would be a big deal for Ye Nan to find all the materials to make talismans.

I carefully calculated that the materials used to make the talismans already have realgar and black blood, and there was no root water, yellow paper and brush.

While he was fine in the afternoon, Ye Nan took an afternoon vacation and drove Fang Wei to accompany him to buy a brush. It was easy to solve the problem. The two of them drove to the Cultural Street of Hexi University Town and took a walk around.

It was Sunday, and it was a lively time. The four-meter-wide cultural street was filled with lively people.

Ye Nan walked around and saw a four-treasure shop with a big door. He walked in. The walls and cabinets of the four walls of the store were covered with brushes, inkstones, inkstones, rice paper, and rice paper. It was full of people, making Ye Nan dazzled.

The owner saw Ye Nan looking around, walked over enthusiastically, and asked, "What do you want to buy, this classmate?"

"Class?" Ye Nan touched his forehead, glared at Fang Wei, who was smiling brightly behind him, and replied, "Oh, I want to buy a brush that I have to order. What is the boss' recommendation?"

The owner chuckled and said, "Good brushes! I have a lot of them here, all of them are authentic Hu pens taken directly from Huzhou, Zhejiang. Do students use them to practice calligraphy or draw?"

Writing or painting? Ye Nan widened his eyes. The talisman drawing should be considered as writing! Well, it should be almost "used to practice calligraphy."

It was because of practicing calligraphy. The boss walked into the counter, took out a few boxes from it, and opened them in a row to the counter, pointing out: "This is sheep hair, which is softer and has good ink absorption. It is good for writing running script and cursive script. The middle one is wolf hair, which should be slightly harder, which is more suitable for beginners to write regular script. The purple hair next to it is also good, and it is also very suitable for beginners."

Ye Nan looked at it and found that the cloud seal used to draw talismans is similar to cursive script, but the talismans should be more spiritual. After all, the treasure of the Talisman Sect in the past was the Wolf Pen of the Moon.

But what Ye Nan didn't know was that the moon-watching wolf is a thousand-year-old wolf, but the wolf hair is made of the tail hair of a weasel, which is still somewhat different from the wolf.

After thinking about it, he asked the boss: "Is there any more soft wolf hero?"

"If it's softer, you have to be a wolf hair?" The boss was a little stunned.

However, they have seen many such novices, with rich experience, so they found a long-lasting wolf hair and handed it to Ye Nan: "This big orchid bamboo is definitely suitable for you."

Ye Nan took it and tried it. It was not bad, and it was so long that it was definitely not bad to absorb ink.

I was very satisfied and was about to pay, but suddenly I found a dozen yellow papers in a wall cabinet in the corner of the store. After looking carefully, I found that it seemed that it was the kind of yellow paper used in the temple to make talismans.

He quickly pointed at the yellow paper and asked, "Boss, how do you sell that yellow paper?"

The boss looked at him: "That yellow paper?" "Yes." Ye Nan nodded quickly.

The boss took it out and handed it to Ye Nan: "This yellow paper is a handmade top-quality product. If you want to buy it, you will be finest."

"That's it, let's get it with me." Ye Nan was a little excited. He thought he would go to two more places and find another incense shop to buy it, but he didn't expect that he could buy everything here.

The boss is really a business person. He asked with a smile: "Classmates should I buy inkstones, ink strips, etc., all the things I have here are good things, and the goods in the entire Cultural Street are the most formal here."

Ye Nan thought about it and found that there was indeed a missing inkstone. Under the boss's introduction, he picked another Duan inkstone.

The boss helped Ye Nan pack the things and knocked them on the computer a few times: "A good big orchid bamboo is 180 yuan, a top-quality yellow paper is 50 yuan, and a genuine Duan inkstone is 68 yuan. Chen Hui has a total of 298 yuan."

Ye Nan was so surprised that this wolf-haired pen is really not cheap. When I was a child, I bought a brush for only one or two pieces, and this small one was more than a hundred times more. The boss wouldn’t want to criticize me, right? He smiled and said, “Boss, can this thing be cheaper? I bought a lot of things.”

The boss smiled and pointed to a large plaque hanging in the center of the store behind him. Ye Nan looked around and wrote: Quality guarantee, no bargaining.

This shop is so cool. The boss also pointed to the few pairs of calligraphy and ink paintings hanging next to it, and smiled at Ye Nan: "This shop is the only one in Cultural Street. Other shops have prices to talk about, but our shop does not bargain. Whatever you want, it depends on quality. Professor Wu, a master of calligraphy at Normal University, and Mr. Yan, a famous Chinese painting artist, are all old customers of our shop. Look, these are all gifts from others. Don't worry, I'll issue an invoice for you. If you have any questions, come to me."

Fang Wei stood beside him and nodded and smiled, "I have seen Professor Wu and Teacher Yan before. Both of them are very rigorous, and the ones on the wall are their own works."

When the boss heard this, he smiled and nodded, "This classmate knows the goods." Ye Nan felt relieved when he saw Fang Wei say this, he paid the money and happily left the store.

Halfway through the way, Ye Nan looked at Fang Wei suspiciously and said, "Boy, can you still graduate from Normal University?"

"What's wrong? We were taken to a gang agent training camp after we didn't graduate from high school. When did we go to college? These two are Han Yan's teachers. I've accompanied Han Yan to visit him a few times."

"I have seen it a few times but you dare to say that you can recognize someone's works?" Ye Nanda was disdainful.

Fang Wei looked at Ye Nan like that and said, "I have seen those seals. Besides, in this cultural street, who dares to blatantly take the title of two teachers, can you still gain a foothold here? He has little knowledge and underestimates others."

He heard Ye Nan had nothing to say, so he had to smile dryly from the side. He quickly changed the topic: "We are all here, why don't we go and see Han Yan?"

Fang Wei glanced at Ye Nan with a slanted glance and said with a wicked smile: "Look at Han Yan? I think you are looking at Xu Min? Half a month later, I think you should ask me about this, too. Hehe."

Ye Nan was sweating a lot and said to himself: "There is nothing. I've been so busy lately that I've been dizzy. If I don't mention Han Yan, I'll forget Xu Min." But he didn't dare to tell Fang Wei this. If Han Yan accidentally finds out, he won't think of seeing Xu Min in the future.

After saying that, Fang Wei turned the front of the car and headed straight to the Normal University. When he arrived at the door, he called Han Yan. Then he waited at the gate of the Normal University. After waiting for a while, he was really bored. Fang Wei remembered something and asked at the pile of guys Ye Nan had just bought, "I said, Nanzi, why are you buying these things? Do you still want to cultivate your temperament and cultivate your sentiment by practicing calligraphy?"

Ye Nan had nothing to say to Fang Wei, who knew it later, and waved his fingers to make a spell for Fang Wei to see, but after thinking for a while, he realized that none of the more than ten spells he knew could create a great effect on the spot, which was shocking. He replied helplessly: "I will tell you what this thing is for when I go back later."

After waiting for half an hour, he saw Han Yan and Xu Min come out. Fang Wei stretched out his head and waved to the two of them.

After the two got in the car, Ye Nan turned around and greeted the two in the back seat: "Long time no see, two beauties, I miss you very much."

Han Yan looked contemptuous and curled her lips: "Miss us? I miss Xu Min, I won't worry about you!"

Ye Nan's old face turned red a little bit, and he looked at Xu Min who was smiling and silent, and laughed dryly: "Of course you don't need me to worry about it. I dare to worry about it. Fang Wei must not have any objection."

Fang Wei giggled and watched the two of them quarrel, without interrupting. He started the car and looked at the watch. It was already past 5 o'clock. After thinking about how many pounds of dog meat were stored at home, he asked Ye Nan on the side: "Why don't we go buy some vegetables later and let our two beauties taste your skills?"

Ye Nan touched his forehead. He knew that except for making soup and making dog meat, he was more skilled in other dishes, and he didn't take it much. He smiled and said, "How about you put dog meat in it, how about you doing other dishes?"

Fang Wei thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I'll leave the other dishes to me. I haven't cooked them for a long time."

Han Yan was behind and heard that there was dog meat to eat, and asked happily: "Xu Minke and I like dog meat. Ye Nan, do you make delicious?" Ye Nan laughed and said, "You will know if you try it later."

Looking at him with a confident look, Xu Min smiled and said, "Ye Nan, don't be too complacent, Han Yan's mouth is clenched."
