Chapter 123

It turned out that Liang Yi went to Tokyo to negotiate with Chen zhuoran. When he passed Ginza, he saw a tattoo shop.

The advertisement of that shop attracted his attention. It was a girl with her back to the camera. Her hand was wrapped in long hair and deliberately exposed the whole back. The back was covered with tattoos, which was a big dragon with open teeth and claws.

So far, Liang Yi has never had a chance to look carefully at the dragon on Tao Zi's back. Of course, she is not sure that the dragon in the big advertisement photo is the one on Tao Zi's back.

But the girl in the advertisement photo has her head on her side, and her face is half covered. She can see long eyelashes, light moth eyebrows and light upturned lips.

Seeing these, Liang Yi immediately confirmed that the girl in the picture was Tao Zi!

He asked the driver to stop the car, went to the tattoo shop, stood in front of the advertisement, carefully looked at the girl with her back to him in the photo, and the more he looked at him, the more sure he was that this was Tao Zi, which must be right!

The door of the shop opened, and out came a sister in her thirties, with fresh short hair and dark yellow kimono, bowing 90 degrees to Liang Yi and asking him in Japanese, "Sir, do you want a tattoo?"

When Liang Yi was young, he had to learn from Tao Zi. He was proficient in five languages: Britain, Japan, Germany, France and South Korea. Of course, he understood what the sister was talking about.

The words said by her sister moved Liang Yi's mind, turned back and looked carefully at the girl with her back to him in the advertisement. Then she bowed to her sister and said in fluent Japanese, "can I go into the store?"

"Of course, very welcome." the sister opened the store door for Liang Yi and made a gesture of invitation.

Liang Yi walked into the small shop, which was a little cramped, and was asked by the sister to sit on the tatami.

The elder sister was not idle either. She poured Liang Yi a cup of tea and put it in front of him: "what club did you come from?"

"What club did I come from?" Liang Yi was stunned by this sentence. He knew that unlike China, black would be very rampant in Japan. Even the prime minister election was secretly controlled by those people.

In order to show their strength, most people like to tattoo some messy things on themselves. The club that the elder sister referred to was to ask him which way he came from, which probably positioned him as that kind of person.

Liang Yi smiled but didn't answer. Looking at the pictures hanging on the wall of the room, it was different from the ukiyo painting in Japan. It had the meaning of traditional fine brushwork in a big country.

Liang Yi also studied painting when he was a child. What he just learned is this kind of traditional meticulous painting with medium gauge and medium distance.

Although Liang Yi thinks his painting is not very good, he also has a certain appreciation ability.

Like the picture of worshipping the moon, it is clearly the traditional painting theme of a large country. It depicts Diao Chan worshipping the moon. I'm afraid ordinary Japanese don't even know who Diao Chan is, and don't understand why she goes to worship the moon.

Liang Yi asked in Chinese, "take the liberty to ask, are you from a big country?"

The sister was adding water to the teapot. After hearing this, the hot water accidentally flowed out of the teapot.

"Why, are you from a big country?" my sister brightened her eyes excitedly and asked in Chinese.

"Yes."

My sister giggled: "I didn't expect that you were Japanese! I didn't expect you to wear so clean and orderly, and Japan speaks so fluently... You are a big country."

"Why, in your eyes, men in big countries are sloppy?"

"No, no, no, men in big countries don't dress as well as here. Even suits and shoes rarely match so well and shine like you, sir."

"You flatter me."

Liang Yi has never been less praised since she was a child. She has long seen strange things, let alone happy.

He looked calmly at the picture of worshiping the moon. He saw that the Diao cicada in the picture seemed to have the same facial features as the girl he loved deeply. There was a faint soft, elegant and charming temperament of Tao Zi. Gradually, his eyes were addicted to it and couldn't extricate themselves.

"Did you think I was from a big country when you saw this picture, sir?" my sister looked down his eyes and asked thoughtfully.

"HMM." Liang Yixiang woke up with a start. He finally shifted his attention from the painting and looked at the sister: "have you been to Dongyang?"

"How do you know?" my sister was surprised.

"You used to be a teacher at Dongyang Academy of fine arts?"

"Well, that's right. Have you... Seen me?"

"I've seen the girl in your picture," Liang Yi said, pointing to the picture of worshipping the moon.

"Oh?" my sister was surprised.

Liang Yi smiled: "I heard that girl tell her story. She once tattooed a dragon on her back for 10000 yuan.

"I just saw the girl in the advertisement outside - and the dragon on her back.

"I guess it was you who tattooed her with that dragon?"

"Well." my sister nodded, "you guessed right. It's my first tattoo work and the best work. So far, it hasn't been surpassed."

When she said this, she fixed her eyes on Liang Yi's face and said with a smile: "in fact, I've been thinking, what kind of man is qualified to be with her for such a perfect girl with such a perfect appearance and figure and such a perfect work of art?

"Seeing you today, I finally have the answer to this question.

"Mr. Zhang has extraordinary bearing and is so handsome. You and she are really a perfect match!"

I have to say that this sister is really very talkative. Even Liang Yi, who is used to hearing good words, can't help but smile and wave her hand: "don't say that. I'm not as good as you said. In fact, the beauty hasn't accepted me all the time. I'm just one of her followers."

Liang Yi pointed to the picture of worshipping the moon and asked, "do you know if you sell this picture? I want to buy it as a gift to the girl."

"I'm sorry, sir. I like this work very much. I've always regarded it as a private collection and never thought of selling it."

"I'll give you a high price."

Liang Yi looks around the shop. Although the house price in Tokyo is ridiculously expensive, it is not easy for a foreign woman to rent such a shop.

But Liang Yi could see from each other's eyes that the sister's business in front of him was not good, for fear of letting his customer go.

"What a high price?" obviously, the sister was moved.

"Ten thousand dollars," Liang Yi said word by word.

"Hmm..." my sister looked up at the picture of worshiping the moon with elegant colors and delicate lines, and said faintly, "it's not only this price, it's priceless in my heart."

"Then I'll add ten thousand." Liang Yi also felt that it was not only worth the price, but also priceless in his heart.

My sister turned back, and there was a little more sadness in her eyes: "are you seducing me, seducing me to give up it?"

"No, I really want it." Liang Yi reported another number without hesitation: "30000."

My sister smiled. She waved her hand and said, "it seems that my painting is not qualified to go to the auction house, let alone a 10000 price increase?"

"Forty thousand!"

"Well..." my sister is no longer as reserved as she was just now. She hesitated and asked, "how much can you give at most?"

"Fifty thousand!" Liang Yi said, "fifty thousand at most!"

My sister got up from the tatami, walked over and took the picture off the wall. She looked at it carefully for a long time. Then she turned around and handed it to Liang Yi: "well, it belongs to you."

Liang Yi didn't reach out immediately. He looked out of the window and said, "I'll add another 10000. I hope you don't advertise her photos again, can you?"

My sister hesitated for a moment and finally nodded and said, "originally, the girl only received 10000 yuan. Now you pay 10000 dollars. In the end, I still earn. Don't worry, I won't advertise her photos."

Liang Yi finished the picture and went to a nearby bank with her sister to go through the transfer procedures. Waiting for a gap in business in the bank, the two chatted with each other. Liang Yi asked her how she knew Tao Zi and how she came all the way to Japan.

It turned out that her sister's name was Lu Yan. She was a teaching assistant at Dongyang Academy of fine arts. When she was in Dongyang, Tao Zi always worked as a model for her. Liang Yigang was right. The prototype of the picture of worshipping the moon was Tao Zi.

Later, Lu Yan went to a tattoo shop to be a tattooist, and Tao Zi was also a model for her.

However, in the past two years, the domestic atmosphere has become more and more positive, and such businesses associated with heresy have become less and less popular. Now few people in China will risk not finding a job to do such tattoos.

Lu Yan happened to have relatives in Japan and said that this business is very popular in Japan. She came here with all her savings and hopes to make great achievements here.

But the reality is still so cruel. Her business is not as good as expected. After mixing for two years, her business still hasn't improved. Now she has reached the point of being short of money, otherwise she wouldn't be willing to sell the painting.

Liang Yi listened to her story and asked her if she still wanted to stay here. She smiled bitterly and said that with the money, she was ready to return home. At least being a teaching assistant in China was better than being alone in a foreign land.

After the two people finished the transfer procedures in the bank, Liang Yi accompanied Lu Yan back to the tattoo shop.

Adorable, she was as like as two peas. She watched the advertisement and took it to the next stage, and the idea of "sprouting" was gradually forming. He suddenly said, "if I do a tattoo, how much will it be like the one on the advertisement?"

"You... Really want to do it?" Lu Yan felt very surprised.

"Well..." Liang Yi nodded, "I really want to do it."
