Chapter 390 Four-Color Vision

For those with outstanding talents, one part hard work and nine parts talent can make them at the forefront of the industry.

For those who are not so talented, they can still reap rewards with nine parts sweat and one part hard work.

Those who have no talent can only find other ways out.

Niu Niu is definitely talented, but whether she can get to the forefront depends on her subsequent efforts.

This kid is also very well behaved. He nodded when he heard it and then buried his head in practicing hard again.

Liu Lan was amazed by what she saw. It was really a person who could sit still and had great patience.

When she was practicing acupuncture, she would want to slack off and become irritable after a long time.

If she didn't really like him, she wouldn't be able to stick to it.

Niu Niu, on the other hand, is more patient and can sit still longer than her. If she really chooses to work in this field, I feel that the embroidery works she will create in the future will be better than hers.

He is indeed better than her, because after Niu Niu became familiar with all the needlework techniques, Yi Chichi began to teach her the basic theory and matching rules of colors.

She didn't notice the problem when she wasn't teaching, but once she started teaching she was shocked to find that the child was a tetrachromat.

Ordinary people can see about one million colors, while tetrachromats are the chosen ones who can see one hundred million colors.

To give the simplest example, a blue piece of clothing looks just blue to ordinary viewers, but if it is washed too many times, it will appear faded.

If the fading is severe, you can also see the grayish white.

Niu Niu is different. She can not only see the blue, but also the colorful colors other than the grayish white left on the fabric after fading.

Yes, it is colorful.

She could even see the lines and colors of the fabric.

Yi Chizhi couldn't believe it, so she took the silk thread and asked her to distinguish the subtle details of each color. Then she split the thread and asked her to distinguish them, and she could still distinguish them.

This talent is simply amazing.

She ran to get her painting tools and said, "Niuniu, match the colors and draw a picture for me."

Niuniu looked at the paints, brushes, and drawing paper she had laid out. After a long silence, she scratched her head and said, "Auntie, I don't know how to draw."

“Draw whatever you want.”

Yi Chichi pointed to the paints and the paint palette and said, "Use these to paint."

After she explained in detail how to use the paint, she urged Niuniu, "Hurry up and try out the colors. Then, mix them yourself."

She said "oh", took the paint and started to test the colors.

Liu Lan looked at them with envy, "You won't even let me touch these."

Yi Chichi angrily retorted to her, "Stop ruining my equipment."

It’s not like he hasn’t tried before, the key point is that this guy can’t draw, and he’s not sensitive to colors.

She is a typical trichromat. In her eyes, colors are what they should be.

She can distinguish obvious color differences, but not subtle ones.

Seeing that she was about to speak, Yi Chichi quickly reached out to cover her mouth and signaled her with his eyes not to disturb Niu Niu.

Liu Lan, whose mouth was no longer free, rolled her eyes, but still nodded to show that she understood.

She didn't want to be scolded. It was obvious that Yi Chichi had a new love now and didn't think much of her as his old love anymore.

However, this cannot be blamed on Yi Chichi, it is because she is too disappointing.

So, the disappointing Liu Lan and Yi Chichi watched Niu Niu's graffiti.

But children are very playful, and the random combination of paints to create novel objects of different colors aroused Niu Niu's strong curiosity.

From mixing two colors of paint into one color to mixing seven or eight colors of paint together, she couldn't stop playing.

Yi Chichi didn't care about her and let her do whatever she wanted.

People with four-color vision are so rare that she has only met two in her past and present lives, including Niuniu.

In the previous life, he became a famous painter, well-known both at home and abroad.

It is difficult for Niu Niu to become a painter. Her family does not have the resources or conditions to train her to be a painter.

Besides, the path of a painter is not easy.

So, let’s do embroidery.

After becoming a master-level embroiderer, fame, status and wealth are actually not much different.

Three days later, the day before Laba Festival, Niu Niu's graffiti was finally completed.

There is no composition, no theme. She just randomly piles up various colors according to her own ideas to form a work.

Even so, Liu Lan began to doubt her life.

This colorful scene seems messy, but in fact it has amazing color combinations everywhere. Is it really a work completed by Niu Niu independently?

She opened her mouth and wanted to ask Yi Chichi, but found that she was staring at Niuniu's work with amazement, so she swallowed the words.

She lowered her head and continued to embroider her unfinished work.

Niu Niu is very idle and very nervous now.

She stood beside Yi Chichi, twisting her fingers together and glancing at her, then at her own graffiti, and then again. Seeing that she didn't say anything, she finally couldn't hold back her doubts and asked, "Auntie, is it very ugly?"

“Not ugly.”

Yi Chichi was in a daze. If this were ugly, it would not be a visual feast.

Niu Niu's works are extremely colorful and well matched, which makes her think of the autumn with its lush greenery and flowing gold, and also the spring with its revival of all things.

It's absolutely amazing.

"So, it looks good?"

The little girl looked nervous.

Yi Chichi smiled and asked, "Do you think it looks good?"

"nice."

She was very confident. "I think this is the best look. It's prettier than a rainbow."

"I think so too."

Yi Chichi nodded in agreement. The more he looked at it, the more beautiful it seemed. The colors were so rich, a true visual enjoyment.

If there is composition and a theme, it will be more perfect.

But don't worry, the next one will be better.

After admiring it carefully for a while, she handed Niuniu a simple embroidery pattern and said, "Starting tomorrow, you will embroider this."

"ah?"

Her mouth opened slightly, "I don't have to practice needlework anymore?"

"Practice makes perfect, kiddo."

It would be great if you could practice needlework during the embroidery process and at the same time become familiar with color matching and basic color theory.

Niu Niu said "oh", took the embroidery pattern and looked at it, and found that it was a cluster of flowers, the peach blossoms she was familiar with.

“There are so many colors.”

She sighed. Liu Lan had seen the embroidery pattern and was surprised when she heard it, "Peach blossoms only have those few colors, how can there be so many colors?"

"No."

Niu Niu was a serious child. Upon hearing the sound, she came to her with the embroidery pattern, pointing at the peach blossoms and telling her what color this was and what color that was.

Liu Lan was overwhelmed by what she heard, and her eyes widened, trying carefully to figure out the colors she was talking about.

After looking for a while, I finally figured out something.

Then she said helplessly, "Okay, okay, you are right, let's get started, and embroider with me and your Aunt Chi Chi."

"good."

As soon as she agreed, Yi Chizhi stuffed a palm-sized piece of white cotton cloth that he had cut in advance, along with colorful cotton thread.

“Use this to embroider.”

She nodded, sat cross-legged on the kang, and then, under Yi Chichi's supervision, she divided the threads and threaded the needle. She stared at the cotton cloth for a few seconds, looked at the embroidery pattern, and then started sewing with a confident look.
