Chapter 180 An umbrella was sold for the price of a car

Being praised so highly by her grandfather, the girl knew that Su Ran was just like her, really amazing and very capable.

"It turns out that some things really require talent. I've been learning to draw since I was a kid, but I can't draw as well as him. But this anchor can do it effortlessly without even having to learn it once."

The girl sighed that she was not as good as Tao.

Hearing this, the old man was stunned, staring at his granddaughter with his mouth wide open in astonishment, repeatedly confirming: "What did you say? This anchor has never systematically studied Chinese painting? What a joke, to be able to paint Chinese paintings to such a pinnacle, isn't he a disciple of a master?"

The master's disciple? The girl didn't think so. She said, "If you really want to say it, an ordinary master may not be worthy of being his master. After all, this anchor himself is already at the grandmaster level."

The old man suddenly realized and thought carefully: "If I were to teach him, I might not be able to teach him anything."

In fact, Su Ran's paintings are better than the old man's.

Except that he didn't have his own reputation in the industry, there was nothing wrong with him.

After watching it again, the old man was more amazed: "This painting skill is really amazing. Ink painting without any extra colors can make such a complex painting with clear content and structure and a strong sense of layering. Ordinary people really can't do it."

In the live broadcast room, Su Ran admired his work with satisfaction and said to the audience: "Now do you think these bamboos are worth a few thousand dollars?"

Su Ran really managed to turn waste into treasure. The value of those few worthless bamboos has now increased several times.

Some viewers said:
"It's more than just a few thousand. Even if it's tens of thousands, I think it's worth it."

"Many paintings can only become works of art after the painter dies, but I think what the anchor is painting now can already be a work of art."

The initial boss of Caida even expressed his willingness to spend 100,000 yuan to buy the bamboo umbrella made by Su Ran.

Li Yangchao accepted the defeat and gave Su Ran ten planes as a reward. He also showed his live broadcast video to his grandfather.

The message was sent to my grandfather’s WeChat, and soon my grandfather who was far away in China replied.

"This is... a true intangible cultural heritage inheritor! The bamboo umbrella is so well made, it's simply the pinnacle!"

The old man in the family was not paying attention to the painting, but to the craftsmanship of the bamboo umbrella.

He was amazed at Su Ran's craftsmanship, which was far superior to that of himself, the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage.

Not to mention the Chinese painting on the bamboo umbrella, which is like the finishing touch, bringing this bamboo umbrella to a new level.

"Please ask this anchor if he sells this bamboo umbrella?"

When Li Yangchao saw the news about his grandfather, he found it even more unbelievable.

My family makes bamboo umbrellas, so why should I buy them from others?

Especially since my grandfather is the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, it has always been him that others came to buy umbrellas from, but today it was my grandfather who came to buy umbrellas from others.

It's really a bit against Tiangang!
"But the anchor's bamboo umbrella is really well made. It's worthy of being put in a museum for people to appreciate."

Thinking about it, Li Yangchao also decided to help his grandfather. He said in the live broadcast room: "Host, my grandfather is an intangible cultural heritage inheritor of bamboo umbrellas. He likes this bamboo umbrella you made very much. Do you think I can buy it for 70,000 yuan?"

The price of 70,000 yuan was something other viewers didn't expect to be so expensive.

"Even if it's a handmade bamboo umbrella, it's just an umbrella. There's no need to be so expensive."

"Seventy thousand is seven Apple phones. You are really rich, brother."

"Boss, if you want to buy an umbrella to keep out the rain, just give me the 70,000 and I can hold an umbrella for you all the time. You don't even have to do it yourself."

Li Yangchao looked at the comments and shook his head helplessly. He was attracted by the craftsmanship of the bamboo umbrella, not whether it was needed to keep out the rain. However, at this time, the girl also posted a comment in the live broadcast room: "You want to get this umbrella for 70,000 yuan. If you really don't have money, don't make an offer."

Having said that, the girl directly expressed her willingness to buy the umbrella for 150,000 yuan.

This time netizens were even more surprised.

But what the girl wanted to buy was not the bamboo umbrella, but the Chinese painting on it.

In her and her grandfather's opinion, the artistic value of Chinese painting is far greater than the umbrella itself.

Li Yangchao was stunned for a moment. Seventy thousand yuan was not a small amount. Even if a bamboo umbrella was valuable, if it was made by a famous artist, it could be sold for at most twenty or thirty thousand yuan.

"No little sister, are you sure you really want it? Don't make a random offer here and then not buy it."

The girl laughed and said, "You don't want to buy it? My grandfather is a famous Chinese painter. I, as his granddaughter, am helping him buy a painting he likes. Are you kidding me here? But you, if you don't have money, don't fight with me!"

Say I have no money?

Li Yangchao was also very angry. After all, he was studying abroad. Although his family was not particularly wealthy, they could afford the tuition fee of one million yuan a year, not to mention spending tens of thousands to buy an umbrella.

"You want to piss me off, don't you? Just because you have a grandfather, my grandfather isn't a grandfather? I'm going to argue with you today. I'll give you two hundred thousand for this umbrella!"

The price suddenly rose to two hundred thousand, and the onlookers in the live broadcast room seemed to be watching a big event.

"Wow, this live broadcast room is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers."

"Isn't this a matter of money? What I didn't expect was that a bamboo umbrella made by Brother Su could attract the attention of two powerful old men at the same time!"

One is the inheritor of the bamboo umbrella intangible cultural heritage, and the other is a famous Chinese painting artist.

These two people have a certain prestige wherever they are.

And now the grandchildren of these two old people actually started to fight for the same bamboo umbrella at the same time.

This extremely dramatic scene really gave the audience a big shock.

At that time, the girl and Li Yangchao were both surprised that the other's elders had such achievements. No matter whether they were inheritors of intangible cultural heritage or masters of Chinese painting, they were people of the same status in the field of art.

But they all need this bamboo umbrella.

But if we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to tell the winner.

Su Ran had not expected that a bamboo umbrella he had made casually would be sold at such a high price, and neither of the two audience members had any intention of letting it go.

He mediated and gave a suggestion: "I understand, since one of you wants a bamboo umbrella and the other wants a Chinese painting, why not do this..."

As he spoke, Su Ran took a very thin blade and began to scrape off the umbrella cover from the ribs.

Because it had not been there for long, the umbrella surface was not firmly attached and could be easily removed.

There was no damage to the umbrella cover that was removed.

"Now that I have separated the umbrella and the painting, you two can both buy what you want. I will put another layer of rice paper on the bamboo umbrella later. Do you think this will work?"

This seems to be the best outcome.

Both of them had no objection and said in unison: "No problem!"
