Anecdotes related to Qi Baishi's shrimp map

Qi Baishi succeeded in painting shrimp, and issued a notice: "Baishi painted shrimp, 12 1." People who know art say, "runge is not high, it's worth it!" Value! " If you want to paint, you don't bargain. If you buy a painting, you pay, and you get what you want. On this day, a clever shopkeeper with a bald monkey face bought paintings from Qi Baishi with 35 taels of silver, thinking that the old man could draw four paintings, didn't he earn half? In my mind, I knocked on the door of the terms. Qi Baishi saw it, smiled and accepted the money gladly, so that the bald owner could pick up the painting the next day. The next day, the bald owner came to Qijia and opened the picture scroll. There are only three shrimps in the photo. Shrimp is not big, but it is also alive and kicking. The bald man thought, I can't give my five taels of silver for nothing. Look at Qi Baishi, he is going to have a seizure. Qi Baishi pointed to the painting and asked him to have a closer look. Blink your head with a small triangular eye, and clearly see a shrimp tail exposed between two aquatic plants, and the shrimp head is diving into the water for food! Bald employers have nothing to say, hey hey smile, holding photos away.

Some literati want to spend less money to get the works of masters, and their minds are full of jokes. One day, a man went to Qi Baishi's house to buy paintings. At that time, a painting was 10 yuan. In order to save money, the man bought a roast chicken with 5 yuan money and wanted to change a painting. On the way, the man also ate a chicken leg. When I arrived at Qi Baishi's house, I explained my purpose and gave the roast chicken to Qi Baishi. Qi Baishi looked at it, then picked up a pen and paper. After painting for a few minutes, the man took a closer look: a pine tree. Behind the pine tree, there is the front of a chicken's neck and a chicken's paw dug back. Another chicken's paw was blocked by a pine tree. The man understood that the roast chicken was missing a chicken leg.
