Chapter 351 Gallery Renovation Completed
When people have money, they pursue class and consumption.
People of this era, after they have money, buy TVs, bicycles, and even motorcycles or cars in a few years, which can show their status.
But now houses are basically allocated by units, and no one wants to use this money to buy a messy courtyard house.
The reason why Shi Tingyu wanted to buy a courtyard house is because she had information before the time travel, but people nowadays don’t have it.
Naturally, this courtyard house can’t be priced.
But this matter is not urgent, so she is not so anxious to tell Shi Muchan.
Now that she has a house, Shi Tingyu began to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to apply for a business license in her spare time.
Now that the policy on self-employed individuals has just been relaxed, when Shi Tingyu went to the Industry and Commerce Bureau, there were only two or three kittens at the counter for business licenses.
After submitting the relevant materials, Shi Tingyu's business license was quickly issued.
However, it would take another three days to actually receive it.
After returning home, Shi Tingyu began to prepare for the cleaning and decoration of the gallery.
Lu Weiguo took advantage of his day off to help contact the bricklayers.
There are no decoration companies now, and people in the village who know the craft are hired to do it.
As long as you contact the foreman, the people below are all hired by the foreman.
At this time, Shi Tingyu could not expect these workers to come up with any decoration design drawings, so he drew the renderings himself and asked them to restore it as much as possible.
The decoration of the gallery is simpler after all.
After the floor, walls, lighting, water and electricity are done, it basically has a good shape.
As for the lighting, she reserved space for it and would replace it when the technology matured.
The walls were painted cream white, and then some creative sculptures and artistic tables and chairs would be added inside to make it complete.
Of course, a counter is also needed at the door.
The renovation lasted until the end of the year.
On the 20th of the Lunar New Year, the upper and lower floors of the gallery were completely renovated.
Shi Tingyu drove his family to inspect the results.
Entering from the gallery door, there is a white wall that looks like a screen wall. Shi Tingyu plans to hang paintings and place some simple shaped ornaments underneath, which will not only be beautiful but also isolate the situation inside the gallery.
Going around the wall, there are display walls of various shapes inside. The current wall is very clean, and it will feel like an exhibition hall when paintings are hung on it.
Next to the wall, Shi Tingyu also placed some sculptures of various linear shapes, all in solid colors, to neutralize the white in the space.
Such decoration seems very avant-garde now.
Mother Lu couldn't take her eyes off it.
Shen Shen had already run down to the ground. He hid behind the wall and played hide-and-seek with others.
However, at this time, the three adults only glanced at him occasionally to ensure that he would not fall and get hurt. The rest of the time, their attention was on the decoration.
Only Li Jian played hide-and-seek with Shen Shen happily without complaint.
Shi Tingyu occasionally glanced at him and smiled.
He thought to himself, Li Jian is really a spoiled child. With its sense of smell, it is not easy for it to find people. It has passed by Shen Shen from its hiding place several times.
Shi Tingyu could even see a smile on its serious dog face.
After visiting the first floor, Lu Weiguo picked up Shen Shen and took everyone to the second floor.
There are fewer display walls upstairs than downstairs. Shi Tingyu plans to put some works of famous painters upstairs.
The prices of the works upstairs are naturally much higher than those downstairs, so the decoration upstairs is more delicate.
In addition to the exhibition area on the second floor, there is also a rest area. The tables and chairs are specially made by masters based on the design drawings of Shi Tingyu's paintings. The unique shape complements the overall decoration of the gallery.
Shi Tingyu saw that everyone had taken a look around, so she asked, "How do you feel? Is it okay?"
Lu's mother said, "This is great. You can see the artistic atmosphere at first glance. Even a rough guy can get some painting inspiration when he comes here."
Shi Tingyu was amused by Lu's mother's description. Her mother-in-law is still good at speaking.
Lu Weiguo quietly held Shi Tingyu's hand, with some guilt in his eyes.
"Wife, you have worked hard."
He trained every day and could not take frequent leave. Almost everything here was done by his wife.
Shi Tingyu shook his hand, "You have worked hard too."
She put a lot of effort into this gallery, but Lu Weiguo was no less.
On rest days, he basically worked as much as the decorators.
She drew the pictures, he found the master, and when the things were done, he also checked them.
If it weren't for the discipline in the army, he would have stayed up all night in the gallery.
He did everything he could.
After the family finished visiting, Shi Tingyu locked the door of the gallery.
During this period of time, they can circulate the knowledge and officially open the gallery in the spring.
Before that, she has to contact Professor Qi and the others.
Those who have paintings can leave them with her for consignment.
Of course, there is no order without rules.
According to the current charging standards of art museums, a commission of 10% is charged for each painting sold.
She also plans to find some better student works of oil paintings and sell them on the first floor. Students are not like people who have entered society, so the commission can be only half of that.
After all, students' paintings can't be sold for much money.
This is also a platform for her, as a teacher, to show herself to her students.
In the last class before the winter vacation, Shi Tingyu told her classmates in the oil painting class about this, and the class was instantly excited.
Who among those who study oil painting doesn't have a dream of becoming a painter? They
didn't have any channels before, but now their excellent works can be exhibited in galleries and consigned for sale, which is like a pie in the sky.
At this moment, Shi Tingyu felt that the students' enthusiasm for learning had increased a lot.
After class, some students showed Shi Tingyu their paintings.
After Shi Tingyu read it, he patiently gave his suggestions for modification. Seeing the female classmate looking at him with hope, Shi Tingyu still said: "This work is not yet high enough for display, but don't be discouraged. , You are only sophomores now, there is still plenty of time ahead."
The classmate's originally gloomy expression suddenly brightened up.
Yes, they are only sophomores and have plenty of time.
In the office, several teachers saw Shi Tingyu coming and talked about her plans to open a gallery.
Wei Huai and Hu Min asked worriedly: "Teacher Shi, is it a bit risky to open a gallery now?"
They knew that the country had issued regulations on self-employment, but who knew whether they would return to before liberation.
At that time, it will be troublesome to label Teacher Shi as capitalist.
Shi Tingyu thanked them. They were really worried about her.
They had no memory of the afterlife and didn't know how the future would develop. They were just scared by the past ten years. It has become a special zone, and it will never go back to the way it was before. The national economy will also get better and better. "
After listening to Shi Tingyu's words, they felt a little more at ease. Maybe in the future it will really be as Teacher Shi said. The better it gets.
