“Wow!”
“It’s exactly the same!”
“This is a stroke of genius!”
The young people exclaimed exaggeratedly after watching it, while the elderly remained silent.
There are many capable people among them, and some of them can draw, but they cannot draw to this level.
This level of painting cannot be achieved without more than ten years of practice.
Jiang Li is just a girl in her early 20s. Unless she started learning painting right after she was born, how could she reach such a level?
After everyone was shocked, some people immediately expressed disbelief.
Grandma took this opportunity to generously solicit business for Jiang Li.
"The portrait is 30 yuan a piece. If you want to have your portrait drawn, you can sign up now."
Grandma directly quoted a high price, which instantly raised the price of Jiang Li's portraits for others.
You should know that when she was in Jiangjia Village, she was charged one yuan for each portrait she drew. Only when the Public Security Bureau asked her to draw important wanted criminals and offered a high reward would she be charged 50 yuan for a portrait.
Now it’s just an ordinary portrait, but grandma directly raised the price to 30 yuan.
With this money, I can go to a photo studio and take a lot of color photos.
Most people are reluctant to spend so much money, but some people who are waiting to see Jiang Li make a fool of himself are willing to do so.
For example, Li Sixue was the first one who didn't believe that Jiang Li's painting skills were so superb.
Seeing that no one had tried for a long time, she took the initiative to step forward and speak.
"Then I'll draw one!"
Li Sixue ignored the surprised looks of others and took the initiative to walk out of the crowd.
"Sure, it's only 30 yuan to draw someone else's portrait, and 50 yuan to spend money on you."
Jiang Li directly raised the price. Li Sixue glared at him and asked in disbelief.
"Why? Why are others only paying 30 yuan and me 50 yuan? Aren't you bullying me?"
"She's always trying to make me unhappy, why should I make her happy?"
Jiang Li's voice was flat, but the words he said were both straightforward and heartbreaking.
The young people watching couldn't help but laugh, but they also felt that what she said made sense.
"Will you paint for 50 yuan? If you can't afford it, then leave now and don't block my business."
Jiang Li directly asked to drive the person away. Li Sixue was a person who cared about her reputation and would not tolerate such a loss.
She first kept grinding her teeth, then spoke through gritted teeth.
"Okay! I'll pay for it. If your drawing doesn't look like it, you have to compensate me double!"
Li Sixue was cautious and wanted Jiang Li to work for nothing.
Jiang Li didn't buy her tricks. "Whether the painting looks like the real thing or not is not up to you to decide. It's up to the uncles, aunts, and sisters to decide."
"Okay! Once you finish your drawing, let everyone judge for themselves!"
Although Li Sixue was unwilling, she had no choice but to agree reluctantly.
Li Sixue was waiting to see the show when Jiang Li suddenly reached out his hand towards her.
"What do you want to do?"
Li Sixue asked coldly, and Jiang Li said as a matter of course.
"Pay money! You have to pay before you can draw your portrait. You don't even understand such a simple principle, do you?"
"It's not like I can't come up with the money!"
Li Sixue didn't expect Jiang Li to speak so sharply. She bit her lower lip and spoke viciously.
Jiang Li looked at her with contempt for several times, then imitated Li Sixue and spoke to her with disdain.
"You're dressed so poorly, maybe you really can't come up with 50 yuan."
"you!"
Li Sixue was so angry that she stretched out her hand and poked Jiang Li's nose with her finger.
“Bang!”
Shen Changan suddenly reached out and slapped her on the back of her hand.
"Not only did you speak rudely to me, but you even dared to touch my partner. You really deserve a beating!"
Shen Changan hit her hard, and the back of Li Sixue's hand became red and swollen.
With tears in her eyes, she looked at Shen Changan pitifully and called him softly.
"Brother Shen~"
"Either pay or get out!"
In front of so many people, Shen Changan didn't give Li Sixue any face at all.
Li Sixue's face turned pale and blue, looking extremely ugly.
She is now on the hook and has to either pay or leave in disgrace.
Li Sixue is usually very generous in spending money on herself, but it is absolutely impossible for her to spend 50 yuan to paint a black and white portrait of herself.
If she hadn't been forced into a corner today, she would never give the money even if she was beaten to death.
Li Sixue gritted her teeth and trembled as she took out the wallet from her pocket with difficulty.
She took out five brand new 10-yuan notes and handed them over, but Shen Changan snatched them away.
When she turned around, she had already gently put 50 yuan into Jiang Li's hand.
When Shen Changan treated Li Sixue, he spoke rudely and had an extremely bad attitude, without any gentlemanly manners.
But when it comes to Jiang Li, he is still that gentle and kind man.
He had a gentle smile on his face and his movements were so gentle as if he was afraid of crushing her.
Li Sixue curled her lips and thought unhappily, Jiang Li is just a country girl? Does she need to be treated so gently?
"Xiao Li, wait here. I'll get you some painting tools."
"good."
After Shen Changan returned to the house, he first moved a stool for Jiang Li so that she could sit leisurely.
Then I went to the study on the second floor and moved all the painting tools I had used before.
Jiang Li was just about to draw when Li Sixue suddenly snorted coldly.
"You were painting with your back to everyone, so who knows how you painted it?"
Jiang Li didn't say anything, and Shen Changan quickly turned the easel aside.
"Just stand there."
Jiang Li pointed to a place for Li Sixue to stand, and then asked a few more questions.
Li Sixue had only one request: "You must draw it exactly like mine now. If everyone says your drawing doesn't look like mine, you must not only return the 50 yuan but also compensate me for my losses!"
Li Sixue emphasized again, Shen Changan raised the corner of his mouth and said with a sneer.
"Don't worry, Xiao Li won't give you this chance."
Then Jiang Li began to draw the portrait in front of everyone. There were too many people watching, and it was an important moment as it also affected whether he could open up the market.
Although Li Sixue was annoying from the beginning to the end, if it weren't for her nagging, Jiang Li would not have found such a good opportunity to promote himself.
She started learning painting when she was young, and she has been able to persist for so many years, not only because of her parents' hope that she would become a successful person, but also because of her own love for painting.
Because she truly loves her paintings, her paintings are not just formalities, but she gives each painting a soul.
It is because of this that Jiang Li’s portraits are so realistic.
Li Sixue looked a little embarrassed now, and Jiang Li stared at her again and again.
Then he slowly began to write. As for why he did this, it was because Li Sixue was now standing under the sun, and the position chosen by Shen Changan for her was in the shade of the tree.
Thinking of what Li Sixue had done to his brother before, Jiang Li would never forgive her in his heart. Since he fell into her hands, let her suffer a little first.
