I am from New Oriental

Chen Yan raised his head and said in amazement, because the old lady in front of him was Professor Zhou, his traditional Chinese painting teacher.

"I went back to my hometown in the past two days to get together with some old friends, and there happened to be an art exhibition here, so I'll take a look. Yanyan, you also came to see the art exhibition?"

"Yes, teacher." Chen Yan didn't expect to see the teacher thousands of miles away.Hearing Professor Zhou talk about going back to his hometown, Chen Yan remembered that Professor Zhou is from Yangzhou, not too far from Nanjing, at least much closer than the capital.

"Who is this?" Professor Zhou looked at Wen Jingjun.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm Chen Yan's friend. My surname is Wen, Wen Jingjun." Wen Jingjun is very gentlemanly.

"Wen Jingjun, this name is very familiar. I must have heard it somewhere. I am old, I am old." Professor Zhou said.

She said that she had heard Wen Jingjun's name, and Chen Yan thought it was very normal.Wen Jingjun is well-known in the capital and even in the whole country, and his industries are also well-known. Professor Zhou must have heard of it.

It's just that the art circle and the business circle don't have much in common, especially Professor Zhou is the kind of person who pays more attention to art, so he feels familiar but can't remember it.

"Since you're here, just come with me. I'll introduce you to some old friends of mine."

"Okay." Chen Yan glanced at Wen Jingjun, who did not object, so Chen Yan happily followed Professor Zhou.

Professor Zhou walked to a place, greeted several people of similar age, then turned around and waved to Chen Yan, "Yanyan, come here."

"Old Zhou, is this your grandson?" One of the elders said, "Are you this old? He looks good, but he doesn't look like you, does he look like your grandson?"

"Our old grandson is not so good-looking." Professor Zhou smiled, "This is my new student, Chen Yan. Yanyan, this is Professor Pang, this is Professor Lu, and curator Guo."

"Hey, you're accepting students again?" Professor Lu and Professor Pang said as they looked at each other. "This kid looks really good."

"Our Yanyan is very talented. It was discovered by our grandson, and now he is our common disciple." Professor Zhou introduced proudly. "I didn't expect him to come here too. My master and apprentice have met. If I had known earlier, I might as well have brought him here."

"That happens to be together." The curator Guo next to him said.

Professor Zhou introduced a few people to Chen Yan, and Chen Yan called them one by one, all the old men and women were smiling.

"Your disciple accepted it, and it feels comfortable to look at." Professor Lu is also a woman, a friend of Professor Zhou's for many years, who is called a best friend now, and Professor Pang is his husband, who is a professor at the same university as Professor Lu .

Curator Guo is a fat old man who looks very kind. According to Dean Sun's introduction, this is the curator of this art museum.

The four old people were in front, and Chen Yan and Wen Jingjun followed behind, wandering around the art gallery together.

Wen Jingjun was purely for the fun, but Chen Yan was different.These four are all well-known figures in the painting and calligraphy circles. Their discussion here is, for Chen Yan, a lecture.

Chen Yan hurriedly increased the experience of his Chinese painting skills, and hurriedly took out a concentrated concentration pill that he had accumulated and ate it secretly, and the experience increased even faster.

However, Chen Yan still wanted to touch these paintings. In that case, he would not only gain the experience of the seniors, but also the mood of the original author.This has a more intuitive effect on his understanding of paintings.

Professor Zhou and his friends have not seen each other for a long time, but they have never neglected their students. Seeing Chen Yan being excited and sometimes thoughtful, knowing what they said, Chen Yan listened to what they said, and felt that children can be taught.

"Old Guo, it's so hard for us to come here once, and we still haven't shown some real things for us to see? I know you have collected a lot of good things over the years."

"Okay, since that's the case, let's go to my house." Curator Guo's character is as friendly as his appearance.Hearing what Professor Lu and the others said, they nodded. "Eat at my place at noon, I will cook my specialty for you!"

"Your special dishes are not as good as Lao Zhou's special dishes!" Professor Lu said, "I have been thinking about Lao Zhou's two special dishes for a long time."

"Hey, I used to be able to say that I have special dishes, but now I don't dare." Professor Zhou waved his hand quickly, "I just eat those two dishes casually."

"Old Zhou, don't be too polite. You can eat those two dishes casually? Just ask Lao Lu, she can't even cook noodles."

"Old Zhou, you said you can eat whatever you want, so who is good at cooking? Don't shirk, I really want to get crispy eels."

"Okay, I'll make it for you." Professor Zhou smiled, turned his head and whispered to Chen Yan, "Yan Yan will help me later, I will shock them."

Chen Yan smiled and made a mouth-shape.

Professor Zhou suddenly laughed.

"What are you two doing?"

"Don't worry about it, I'll definitely let you eat good food." Professor Zhou was full of confidence.

"Hey, these seem to be more than two special dishes!"

Director Guo has his own car. Professor Lu and Professor Pang are locals and also have cars. Professor Zhou came here in their car.

Chen Yan was pulled to his side by Professor Zhou, and Wen Jingjun could only leave with Curator Guo depressed.Fortunately, the old man was humorous, and Wen Jingjun's journey was not difficult.

Director Guo’s house is not big, after all, the house price here is really not cheap. Fortunately, there are only two people living here, so it doesn’t look too crowded.

"Old Guo's house is not big." Professor Lu said.

"Well, we just bought a house by ourselves, which is really incomparable to the one you live in the college." Curator Guo said, "My wife, go buy some food, and ask for the freshest and best ones, especially the eels. Don't forget to buy it."

Curator Guo's wife also knew these professors, and welcomed them in with a smile, and took the babysitter at home to go shopping together.

"It will take a while for her to buy vegetables. Let's go and see my collection now."

Curator Guo’s house is really not big, it’s an ordinary three-bedroom house, and the largest one is apparently used as a study.

But after entering this study, Chen Yan found that he was following a treasure.

To be able to enter the eyes of the curator of the art museum, it must not be an ordinary painting, not a masterpiece of the predecessors, or a famous contemporary painting, at least with outstanding skills.

Everyone was full of praise.

"I think it's not that Lao Guo has no money to buy a house, but that he spent all his money on it."

"This is a priceless treasure."

Chen Yan touched the painting cautiously at the side. After several old professors had seen it, the painting would be temporarily put aside, which happened to be a good time for Chen Yan to make a move.

These paintings are much higher than the level of this exhibition, because each pair is genuine.

Chen Yan's accumulated delicacy value these days has dropped crazily, but his experience and comprehension are also crazily rising.Without exception, he felt the mood and perception of these masters when they painted. Now he seems to be standing in the palace of art, and the pores and eyes of his body are all drawing inspiration.

"Hey old Zhou, look at your disciple..." Professor Lu touched Professor Zhou's shoulder, "You're really serious."

"This child is very serious." The two old ladies looked at Chen Yan's head down and looked at the painting carefully, and whispered beside him.

After curator Guo's wife came back from shopping, several people temporarily put the paintings aside and prepared to cook first.

Chen Yan had no choice but to follow.

Speaking of which, thanks to the upgrade of the system, the food cooked by his disciples can also have a certain amount of delicious value, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to accumulate so much delicious value, and he could only watch this kind of good thing happen.

Director Guo originally wanted to make a dish, but Professor Lu and Professor Pang often came to him, and they were tired of eating it, so they asked Professor Zhou to make it.Professor Zhou pulled Chen Yan into the kitchen with a bewildered smile.

"Why do I think Lao Zhou's smile is a bit weird. Xiao Wen, does your teacher Zhou have any trump card?"

"Indeed." Wen Jingjun smiled and nodded.

Isn't Chen Yan the biggest killer.

After entering the kitchen, Professor Zhou handed over the main battlefield to Chen Yan.Chen Yan's culinary skills have reached a certain level, not to mention cooking a few dishes from Yangzhou, but last time I saw Professor Zhou's two signature dishes, and this time I also imitated them so vividly that Professor Zhou even felt that they were better than her own. He did it well, and only the helper was left on the sidelines.

With Chen Yan here, the meal was naturally very fast.With fresh ingredients and top-notch craftsmanship, the table was full of dishes. In addition to Yangzhou dishes, two Nanjing dishes were specially prepared.

"Oh, this is really an eye-opener for me." Professor Lu's eyes widened, "You did all this, Lao Zhou? Your craftsmanship has improved so much over the years...You How embarrassing it is for me!"

"Are you ashamed? Do you think I'm not as happy as Lao Sun?" Professor Pang wondered, "After so many years of marriage, this is the first time I know that you still have this self-awareness."

"Nonsense, I feel a little wronged that I don't go to Lao Zhou's every year for a meal. I haven't eaten so many delicious foods in so many years. I'm in a panic!" Professor Lu said, "Now I have At this age, there will be fewer gatherings in the future, how many meals I have missed!"

Others can't laugh or cry.

Such a table of dishes is quite suitable for the taste of these old people.Not only Yangzhou cuisine but also Nanjing cuisine, they are all used to eating, and Chen Yan's craftsmanship is good, everyone is full of praise.

"Old Zhou, your craftsmanship is amazing. If you had opened a restaurant in the first place, you would still be a rich man."

"Stop talking about it, I'll be embarrassed if I say it again." Professor Zhou suppressed his laughter for a long time, and now he couldn't help it anymore. "Let me tell you the truth. These dishes are not made by me."

"You didn't do it? How is this possible? The crispy eel I'm eating is your handiwork!"

"Didn't you cook it? Did you order the dish from the hotel? Why didn't we see it? And I've been to every major restaurant in Nanjing. The craftsmanship is not as good as your two dishes."

"Just tell me quickly, what's going on?"

"I didn't do it, it was our Yanyan who did it. He is a culinary genius and he has opened several restaurants by himself!"

"Really?" Everyone was dumbfounded.Painting and cooking seem irrelevant.And this kid doesn't look too old, does he?
