Chapter 429

Aesthetics is a very diversified thing.

There is something for everyone, some people like Impressionism, some people like Abstractism, some people like Realism, and some people like Postmodernism.

The above is Qin Huai's entire understanding of aesthetics before reading the book Master Zhou gave him.

After reading one of the books, Qin Huai's concept changed. He discovered that he didn't understand what beauty was at all, he couldn't define aesthetics, and he was a bit ignorant of everything now.

In a certain sense, Master Zhou succeeded in making him forget everything. Although he didn't forget the previous ones, he was already completely confused. Confusion might not be a kind of forgetting.

Qin Huai has even begun to understand Shi Dadan. He is also a bit allergic to books now, and wants to sleep when he sees words.

On the 5th day when Qin Huai was holding "Grand View of Pastry" and eating a boxed lunch at the morning meeting while reading, Master Hua, who had been observing for 5 days, finally couldn't help it. Taking advantage of Master Zhou going to discuss things with Boss Su, he quietly paced to Qin Huai's side and asked in a low voice:

"Xiao Qin, is this book the martial arts secret manual that Little Tan told me about?" Master Hua asked very curiously.

Qin Huai:...? *What exactly did Tan Weian say? *

"There is no martial arts secret manual. This book was recommended to me by Master Zhou, saying it helps with learning finger techniques." Qin Huai said honestly.

"Grand View of Pastry" is the book least related to cultivating aesthetics in the book list recommended to him by Master Zhou, and it is also the book Qin Huai can read the most. During this lunch time, which should theoretically be happy and beautiful, Qin Huai didn't want to read those books that made him drowsy just by looking at them.

He still wanted to read some books that could go with his meal.

Regardless of how the text in "Grand View of Pastry" is written, the pictures are quite good-looking. There are many dim sum inside that Zhao Chengan has made, and the dim sum Zhao Chengan made are almost exactly the same as the dim sum in the pictures. It can be seen that this book was Zhao Chengan's textbook back then.

"Reading?" Master Hua's tone was raised in surprise, his face full of *Zhou Guanghai, can you teach apprentices? *

*We are dignified dim sum masters; we even use books to teach apprentices. Go and inquire, in our Zhi Wei Ju for so many years, which master uses books when teaching apprentices. *

*Zhou Guanghai, can you teach? If you really have no way, let me teach. *

"Yes." Qin Huai nodded, "Master Zhou said that aesthetics are very important for practicing finger techniques. He recommended many books to me, letting me read the books first before making dim sum."

Master Hua was stunned. He originally wanted to say something, but hearing Qin Huai say this, he suddenly didn't know what he should say for a moment.

Just when Master Hua was stunned, Master Zhou walked back quickly with his mobile phone in high spirits. Seeing Master Hua actually here, he glanced at him, didn't speak, and asked Qin Huai with a smile: "How is it looking?"

"Saw Panda Hugging Bamboo." Qin Huai said.

"That's still early. There is a painting exhibition at the City Art Museum these two days, and Little Su got three tickets. You don't need to practice dim sum this afternoon, Xiao Qin. Does your cousin have time this afternoon? If you have time, I'll let Old San lead you two to the Art Museum to see paintings this afternoon. If you don't have time, I'll give you two tickets first, and you can go see the remaining one yourself tomorrow afternoon."

"Painting exhibition?" Qin Huai closed the book and pointed to himself, "Am I going to see a painting exhibition?"

"It's good for you." Master Zhou said, "It's also hard to practice dim sum these few days, just find an opportunity to relax."

Qin Huai didn't understand, but he still did it.

Qin Huai sent a WeChat message to ask Shi Dadan if he was willing to go to the painting exhibition, and Shi Dadan agreed very readily. He indicated that he had lived for two lives and had never seen such high-end things, and was very willing to go to the Art Museum to accept the edification of art.

Under Zhao Chengan's leadership, Qin Huai and Shi Dadan arrived at the City Art Museum at 1:54 PM. At first, Qin Huai thought that Master Zhou specifically asked for three tickets from Boss Su, and this painting exhibition was the legendary touring exhibition of famous works, where any painting would cost hundreds of thousands or millions, the kind where tickets were hard to find.

As a result, no. This painting exhibition was an excellent works exhibition jointly organized by several universities with crowdsourced funds. The tickets were particularly cheap, 15 yuan each, and you could also exchange for an iced Americano at the small coffee shop at the gate of the Art Museum with the ticket plus three yuan, which could be said to be very cost-effective.

Adhering to the principle of *since we are here*, the three of Qin Huai exchanged for three iced Americanos for 9 yuan. Very authentic iced Americano, ice cubes + water + coffee concentrate; Qin Huai watched the clerk do it with his own eyes.

The City Art Museum was also not big. Under Zhao Chengan's introduction, Qin Huai learned that this City Art Museum was built many years ago, the venue itself was very small, and usually no one came. If they really wanted to hold a big exhibition, they would go to another bigger Art Museum or Art Gallery to hold the exhibition.

There was also no one in the Art Museum, maybe because it was a working day. Except for a few college students who were joining in the fun and couples who were looking for a cheap place with air conditioning to date, they were parents with children, and the viewing experience was maximized.

Shi Dadan held the iced Americano, frowning every time he took a sip, his face full of *how could anyone be willing to spend money to drink this thing? Wouldn't it be better to buy a few steamed buns to gnaw on with these three yuan? *

Zhao Chengan strolled around with a coffee cup, strolling the three-yuan iced Americano out of the effect of thirty yuan, the whole person's sense of relaxation was maximized, looking here and there, and occasionally commenting.

Qin Huai followed behind Zhao Chengan like Zhao Chengan's student. Whenever Zhao Chengan commented, he would ask why, what the principle was, which book this theory was in, and whether he had seen that book.

It could be seen that the learning effect was very good recently, and he had already become a bit obsessed with reading books.

After a circle, Qin Huai carefully observed every painting. Shi Dadan frowned throughout the whole process, and he didn't finish the iced Americano. Zhao Chengan took a few photos and sent them to his Moments to show off, and then started watching variety shows.

The love variety show Zhao Chengan was watching had already started tearing each other apart, but what he was watching wasn't the content of tearing each other apart, but the location of the love variety show, sighing while watching: "Eh, this small island is not bad, we can go here to travel next year."

Qin Huai returned to the first painting he saw when he entered the Art Museum, frowning and unable to figure it out, murmuring: "Master Zhou specifically gave me a holiday to let me come to see these paintings, there must be his deep meaning. But what is good about these paintings? Is Master Zhou hinting that I should spend some money to be an auditor at the Art Academy? This is also not realistic."

Shi Dadan stared at the remaining half of the iced Americano: "Was this the thing that the captain spent money to ask for favors to buy back then?"

The three people each had their own wonderfulness.

After searching for travel guides, Zhao Chengan put down his phone and cared about the situation of his companions, finding that Qin Huai was already squatting in front of the first painting and studying it carefully using the method of academic research. Seeing Qin Huai so serious, Zhao Chengan leaned over: "What are you looking at? Do you like this painting so much? If you like it, just buy it. This kind of exhibited painting can generally be bought. If there is no marked price, you can also ask for the price."

"Can it be bought?" Qin Huai asked.

"Of course it can be bought. I bought a painting at the Art Museum before, and the one hanging on the wall of my restaurant is it."

Qin Huai tried hard to recall, but found that he couldn't remember what the content of the painting hanging on the wall of Zhao Chengan's restaurant was at all, only remembering that something was indeed hung.
