"No problem, sir."

"That's good." Verrocchio glanced at the clock on the wall, "Let's go, if nothing else happens, the servant should have prepared the meal."

......

That night, Verrocchio visited the church and the mansions of several nobles, and told about Anno's situation.

But it is very strange that no one has ever heard of the son of a nobleman named Lawrence or the son of a painter, the son of a wealthy merchant.

Verrocchio had no choice but to ask them to pay more attention to which family had lost a child named Lawrence, and then returned to his house angrily.

===Chapter 160 The Unsearchable Past===

An Nuo didn't know why, he didn't really want to draw sketches, but chose the most partial jewelry processing.

This surprised Verrocchio.

In fact, jewelry processing should be called goldsmiths, because now, those who learn jewelry processing basically deal with gold decoration, and rarely deal with jewelry and pearls.

Since it was said that Anno would teach whatever he wanted to learn, Verrocchio naturally agreed.

Verrocchio was rich, and gold could be recast, so he started teaching Anno how to carve gold.

At the same time, oil painting sculpture and drawing Verrocchio did not give up.

Therefore, Anno has a lot to learn in a day, and he also needs his help in the sanitation of the studio and the sorting of items.

After a month working in Verrocchio's studio, Anno has grown a little stronger, not as thin as before.

Verrocchio is very satisfied with Anno's learning ability. Although Anno has learned a lot, he learns very quickly and has a solid foundation. More importantly, Anno has a strong thirst for knowledge.

Several other members and students of his studio have also met with Anno.

The usually listless Credy, the tall, flat-looking Gulandaio, and the plump-looking Perugino.

Together with Botticelli with slender hair and Lawrence who just joined, they are all members of Verrocchio's studio.

These are the few that can be called students.

Although there are not many people, the size of the studio is the largest, and the quality of the members is also very high, especially Botticelli and Perugino, who are basically the hosts of a studio.

The two are very good at drawing and architecture, so it is usually considered a competitive relationship.

Verrocchio's teaching level is very high, so after the members of the general studio receive orders for artworks, they will hand over a small part of the money to Verrocchio, plus Verrocchio himself is a Florence. Famous artists, whose works are also very valuable, are often robbed by many old and new aristocrats, idle connoisseurs and collectors.

The time of January has come, and the cane sugar Verrocchio bought before has been eaten up, so he will go to the small town of Falgo to buy cane sugar.

Of course, it is necessary to bring Anno.

The road after the rain was very bumpy. Although the bumped buttocks hurt, this was to go back to see Uncle Fedino and Aunt Anna. Anno didn't say anything.

After more than two hours of driving, we finally arrived at the residence of Fedino in the small town of Falgo.

Anno's first gaffe.

Aunt Anna sat at the door waiting for the carriage to arrive.

The two simply embraced, and Aunt Anna patted Anno on the back: "Being stronger, young man."

Anno just smiled shyly, scratched his head and said nothing.

Fedino and Verrocchio shook hands: "Long time no see, Verrocchio."

"Long time no see, Brother Fedino."

Fedino looked at Anno, who was chatting with Aunt Anna about working in the studio, and asked Verrocchio in a low voice, "Anno's past...?"

Verrocchio sighed and shook his head.

"Is that so..." Fedino nodded strangely and regretfully.

Verrocchio's energy is not small. If Verrocchio can't find it, he can only pray that this poor young man can find his lost past with good luck in the future.

"Come in first, I'm cooking today." He pulled the three of them into the house.

===Chapter 160 Two Orders===

The small reunion with the Fedinos passed quickly. After all, Verrocchio and Anno still needed to return to Florence, so they just had lunch and chatted about Anno’s recent life in Florence and what he had studied. After the progress, Fedino, who was so relieved, sent the two away.

The boring study time always flies by quickly.

Annuo's temperament is quiet, he can study calmly, and his progress is rapid. Several senior brothers also feel a sense of crisis, which has promoted a wave of healthy competition.

In May, Verrocchio received an order.

The orderer found Verrocchio and ordered a one-to-one bronze statue in the image of David, which was required to be completed within half a year.

The price of this single bronze sculpture is extremely expensive. Just the deposit, the noble who placed the order paid 600 floras.

This crazy price made Verrocchio feel motivated instantly. He asked Anno to buy a sufficient amount of copper and gold, and he checked the information day and night.

Verrocchio and a few students talked about the design plan for a whole day before designing an image that everyone was generally satisfied with.

In the design, David is young, confident, holding a double-edged sword in his right hand, showing his strong muscles, wearing simple clothes decorated with gold, and a head on the soles of his feet, which is the evil giant Goliath The head has a wound from the stone.

The rare one-to-one bronze statue was dubbed a "monumental statue" by members of the studio because the nobleman who placed the order was an admirer of the King David.

After agreeing with the nobleman on the near-perfect blueprint, Verrocchio began work.

The process of bronze casting is extremely slow and can only come little by little.

On the other side, the fledgling Lawrence Anno also received his first order.

A man living in Florence intends to paint a portrait of his deceased wife.

After the price was referenced by Botticelli, Anno settled on 7 floras.

The residents of Florence are still wealthy and agreed.

Verrocchio said seriously before Anno wrote: "This is the first time you have accepted an external order. Your level is enough. Remember, Lawrence, keep your mind."

"The artist's first order is extremely important, and it is also related to the assessment of the Florentine Association of Painters."

Anno, who was a little taller, responded with a smile: "I understand, Mr. Verrocchio."

He chose to keep his long hair tied behind his back, his slightly thin face and eyes like stars made him look very temperamental.

Feeling Anno's confidence, Verrocchio also smiled.

"Your calmness and calmness are the most precious treasures, Lawrence." Verrocchio smacked Anno on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Come on, young man!"

Anno came to the painters' association with the miner and signed a contract. Then, under the description of the miner, Anno began to paint.

Minfu's wife is a little fat, usually wrapped in a black scarf, hardworking and gentle, and the two have a son.

It's just a pity that a few months ago, the husband's wife died of tuberculosis, which is why the husband came to find an artist to paint a picture to commemorate his wife.

Anno comforted the more swallowed man, picked up the paintbrush and palette, and started his own performance.

===Chapter 160 Perfect Start===

Anno's learning ability is terrifying, this is the learning ability recognized by Verrocchio.

So his painting level is very high.

The pricing is so low only because it was the first time I came out to take the order.

In fact, with Anno's oil painting level, if the price is set according to the official price in Florence, it is estimated that the price will rise to about 15 floras.

Three days later, the husband burst into tears while holding the oil painting Anno named "Women in the Suburbs of Florence".

Maybe not so similar, but this superb painting technique really made the people feel familiar.

And Anno's technology also surprised him.

He originally came to the artist to paint this painting with the mentality of picking up leaks, and he didn't expect any high quality at first.

But he didn't expect that, he really missed it, this quiet young painter fulfilled his request beyond imagination.

"You are indeed from Verrocchio's studio, thank you, Mr. Lawrence." He shook hands, thanking Anno constantly, put seven floras in Anno's palm, and thought for two seconds , and take out a Flora.

Anno did not refuse, but accepted the Flora with a smile, which was the reward for his technology.

The man held the painting and wiped his tears away.

Everyone in the studio gathered around Anno.

Verrocchio could barely touch the top of Anno's head: "Congratulations, Mr. Lawrence, as far as the first order is concerned, you have done it perfectly!"

Annuo bowed slightly calmly and modestly: "If it wasn't for the teacher's teaching, I wouldn't have made progress so fast."

Verrocchio didn't know what to say either. Quaano's words had almost been said in the past two months, so he had to smile and patted Anno's head again.

Botticelli, Gulandaio and Perugino all congratulated Anno on his first successful billing. Although he didn't earn much, one could be regarded as a perfect opening.

Only Credi, who was blocked by Gulandaio, had a gloomy flash in his eyes, but he also participated in the celebration.

Rao is the quiet Annuo, and in this situation, he is also a little shy, grabbing the corners of his clothes with both hands, and backing away silently.

Then he was dragged over by Verrocchio: "Although I don't make much money, Lawrence, today is indeed a day worth celebrating."

"I have arranged servants, and everyone can stay for this banquet today!"

"Oh oh oh!" Several students whistled excitedly.

Verrocchio rarely hosts dinners for students in his residence.

His feeling is very keen, Anno will definitely surpass him in the future, and his skills have really reached a certain level. Even if Anno does not plan to leave Verrocchio's studio, Verrocchio will persuade Anno to establish his own business.

......

After the first order ended, Anno was silent for a while, and only received the second order two months later. flora.

But Anno still fulfilled the order perfectly.

In this period, the old aristocracy has declined, and the new aristocracy has not grown up, but their connections are still there. If Anno wants to better develop his artistic career, it is necessary to become famous.
