poppies in the attic

60.

Duck legs and fish have not been served for a long time. What is needed most when eating in Europe is enough patience.Not only can't you rush, you can't even show rush.Otherwise it will look very outrageous.

Xiang Jin had been bathing in the sunset for a long time, and one hand was warmed by Wu Pengzhi's arms, and because she couldn't express her anxiety, she had to relax and even shook her right leg slightly.But the words murmured in his mouth still exposed his true inner activities, "Eating is such a waste of time."

Wu Pengzhi retorted, "For those of us who eat and drink, eating is the top priority. If people don't need to eat, how can we spend so much time? If there is no topic of eating, it will be more difficult for people to communicate. .”

Xiang Jin raised his wine glass and touched Wu Pengzhi, "But there are also many people who have been eager to invent a capsule that will fill them up with one capsule. I am quite looking forward to this capsule."

"We are not you artists. Your art can consume endless hours, but our work is different. It is said that Da Vinci invented a sleep method, which is to sleep for half an hour every two hours of work at night, and then get up again In this way, you only need 2 hours of sleep a night. Later, someone trained in this way, and it really succeeded. As a result, this person returned to our ordinary people’s sleep habits in a short time. Someone asked him Why did he give up, he said, because he is not Da Vinci, and he has nothing to do with so much time he saves."

"Well, yes, now I'm also dragged to sleep for 8 hours by you, and the rhythm of my life has changed. No wonder it's hard to be inspired recently." Xiang Jin muttered dissatisfiedly.Back then, I could indulge in jet lag with everyone, but now, in order to accommodate Wu Pengzhi, I have to go to bed on time.

"Blame me?" Wu Peng asked innocently.But in my heart I was very happy.

The two of them chatted like this for a long time, and the duck legs and fish were finally served in front of them.

Xiang Jin took a bite of the crispy duck leg and couldn't help admiring: "It seems worth the wait."

"Of course, gourmet food is also an art." Wu Pengzhi carefully cut off a piece of fish and put it on Xiang Jin's plate, "Try my fish. If it's good, try another flavor next time."

Realists may not look as advanced as idealists on the surface, but they are more real and more interesting.They use actions to love and experience life, instead of staying in high-profile words and thoughts.

Xiang Jin realized this more and more, from Wu Pengzhi.What Wu Pengzhi said next further confirmed this point of view.

"Ajin, I helped Xiaoqin find a part-time job, drawing illustrations for a friend of mine in a publishing house. Can you give her some guidance?"

Xiang Jin found that Wu Pengzhi's kindness to people was a real action, not like himself.I would also argue with Wen Shaohui, but I didn't think about what to do other than that.

Xiang Jin nodded, "This job is very suitable for Xiaoqin. I can discuss it with her when I go back. If you have any questions for her, just ask me."

"Speaking of publishing a book, I've been thinking today that we need to do this as soon as possible. Remember those maps you drew when we were in the United States? I think, if we published those maps back then, maybe It will be very popular. For example, today, I feel that you are teaching me how to visit museums. These are things that we are particularly lacking. Our most fashionable way of saying is to live in front of us, poetry and distance, as if distance and poetry are inevitable Like a combination."

Wu Pengzhi took a sip of the wine, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said, "The problem is, in fact, many of us are still struggling when we go far. No matter how far we go, there is no poetry, because there is no poetry in our hearts. Seeing the beautiful scenery , we can only keep saying, it’s so beautiful! It’s so beautiful, it’s so fucking beautiful! We can’t organize the language, and we can’t tell where the beauty is.”

Xiang Jin didn't stop eating her duck legs, but she was listening to Wu Pengzhi very seriously.

"You say I have a false love of nature, and you might think I have a false love of art. But it's not our fault, it's a problem with our education. I was never educated about it, our Time is taken up by those boring textbook knowledge and endless work. And we never had the opportunity to visit such a museum when we were young, and we seldom even read picture books. And no one told us about art. .”

Xiang Jin put down the knife and fork, looked at Wu Pengzhi, and listened to her continue talking.

"You don't like to use words to explain your paintings, and you have your own reasons. But maybe it's your thinking that makes you farther away from the general public. We just lack training, not all rotten wood. If you Be a little more kind to us, like today, if you explain to me and guide me, I will actually fall in love with art.”

"For example, the topic we discussed in the museum, why are so many people taking pictures of each work with their mobile phones, even if they don't look at any of them at all? I just figured it out. Looking at the world, it is difficult for us to stare at the real thing. We are more accustomed to seeing it from the screen of our mobile phone. We cannot look directly at the scene in front of us. We prefer to watch BBC documentaries through the screen, which is more exciting and easier to understand. You know, when I was in America, even in Monument Valley, I felt like I had nothing to see. But after you sent me that painting, I suddenly knew why I wasn't interested, because I couldn't look at landscapes at all. If you had guided me like I did today, I think I would have played a little bit better."
