Chapter 65 The oil painting on the wall of the hotel (seeking for further reading)
Lin Yuan and the others spent a long time strolling here, just as a tourist, very leisurely, this is the life everyone wants.
I have to say that the living environment and conditions here are indeed good.
"If I had money, I would buy a house here and live the rest of my life." Huo Qingtong said.
Her family is not very poor, but it is not rich either. In order for her to study abroad, the family actually had to spend a lot of money. But to be honest, by the time she graduated, such "returnees" were no longer popular.
Unlike ten or twenty years ago, as long as you are a returnee, no matter what the "quality" is, many domestic companies want it.
Today, the domestic talent market is abundant in resources.
"Do you still dare to buy a house?" Qiao Yufan asked her.
Lin Yuan: “Why don’t you dare to buy it?”
Li Qiushui knew that Lin Yuan did not understand the recent policies of the United States, so he explained: "Now some states in the United States do not allow Chinese Americans to buy real estate and real estate."
In short, it is very unfriendly to the Chinese.
Some time ago, South Carolina took the lead in enacting a bill banning home purchases. In just a few days, Texas, Montgomery and Florida followed suit and enacted a series of discriminatory bills.
The provisions of these bills are extremely stringent, covering many aspects such as not buying a house, holding shares, and enrolling in school.
The new bill not only prohibits Chinese citizens from purchasing real estate, but also limits individual shareholding ratios. Chinese citizens who want to realize their dream of immigrating by investing in real estate in the United States have undoubtedly suffered a major blow.
Henry smiled bitterly and said: "Fortunately, we don't do that in California."
Lin Yuan was a little surprised: "Originally, I wanted to buy a house here!"
Now it seems that we need to think about it carefully.
It was almost evening, Lin Yuan and the others found a hotel to stay. To be honest, the internal environment of the hotel is a bit poor, not as good as a domestic youth hostel.
Even my uncle didn't go out at night.
In his words, in an unfamiliar environment, it is best not to go out at night, even though the town looks very peaceful.
Lin Yuan wouldn't go out, didn't he see that Henry and Paul were both honest?
Henry misses his time in China a little bit. He can go out to eat, drink and have fun at night. Unlike the United States, you have to risk your life if you go out to eat.
"Do you want to eat it?" Paul brought over some cans.
Lin Yuan shook his head. He found that Americans especially like to eat canned food.
This is not Lin Yuan's illusion, it is indeed the case.
The reason is also very simple.
First of all, canned food is more convenient and faster to eat.
In the fast-paced modern life, canned food provides a convenient solution. They require no refrigeration, can be stored for long periods of time, and are available anytime and anywhere.
Secondly, some people think canned food is more hygienic and safer.
After all, canned food has undergone strict processing and packaging processes, which can effectively kill bacteria and microorganisms and extend the shelf life of food. This is essential to prevent food spoilage and reduce the risk of food poisoning.
Of course, this is hard to say. To put it bluntly, this is also a pre-made dish, right? Are there any additives? Don’t say that foreign products don’t use additives.
In addition, canned food is more economical and affordable.
Lin Yuan is also aware of the prices in the United States these days, especially the higher prices of fresh fruits and vegetables. For families and individuals with limited budgets, canned food is an affordable dietary option.
Finally, there is American food culture. Canned food has existed in American food culture for decades. Many people have been accustomed to eating canned food since childhood, and this habit continues to this day.
To sum up, the biggest reason is actually laziness and not wanting to cook.
The old uncle glanced sideways: "No dog will eat that thing."
This is a bit insulting.
"Uncle, you can't say that." Paul also learned to call him uncle in Chinese. In the past two days, he has been working hard to learn Chinese.
"Don't believe it? There's a dog barking outside. Throw a piece down and take a look." The old uncle told him.
Paul didn't believe this evil, so he opened the window and said "no, no, no, no" at the dog.
It seems that this is how small animals are summoned all over the world, which is somewhat common.
When the dog got closer, Paul threw a piece of canned fish down. The dog sniffed it, peed on it and left. It was a critical attack.
The old uncle, who had a bit of a laugh, burst into laughter.
Paul was speechless.
"Brother Lin, what are you looking at?" Huo Qingtong paid more attention to Lin Yuan and saw him looking at the oil painting on the wall several times.
The interior decoration of this hotel is a bit poor, but it is full of art. There are various oil paintings hanging in the corridors and rooms.
Lin Yuan did not hide anything from everyone. He pointed to the painting on the wall and said: "This painting is interesting. It should be a masterpiece by a famous artist and is worth a lot of money. You can find a way to get it and share it with everyone."

There is no way to go all alone.
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately looked at the painting and were surprised.
Henry quickly took down the painting carefully.
Paul: "Isn't this simple? Just put it in your bag secretly and take it away when you leave."
In his opinion, this is the basic behavior of many Americans.
"Better say goodbye. It's okay if it's worthless. Once the news of this painting reaches this hotel, it will be strange if people don't cause trouble. Spend some money!" Qiao Yufan said.
Avoid disputes.
In the United States, some very bizarre lawsuits can be won, let alone this one.
"I'll go ask." Henry said.
Paul: "I'll go with you."
Both of them are Americans and easy to talk to. If you bring a Chinese person there, they will definitely charge a lot of money.
Lin Yuan looked at this painting carefully.
I saw that this was an Impressionist painting, which showed a scene of a small fishing village at dusk.
Impressionist painting is an epoch-making art school in the history of Western painting. It reached its heyday in the 1870s and 1980s. Its influence spread throughout Europe and gradually spread to all parts of the world.
Impressionist painters went out of the studio and went deep into the fields, villages, and streets to sketch, striving to truly depict nature.
They borrowed the latest optical theory that "the color of an object is produced by the illumination of light, and the inherent color of the object does not exist."
Impressionist painters believed that scenery has different colors under different lighting conditions, and their mission was to faithfully depict the "reality" of scenery under changing lighting conditions.
There are many representatives of this painting school, such as Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso, etc.
Lin Yuan quickly found a line of artistic signature that was a little blurry on the edge of the painting.
"What is written here?" Lin Yuan's English level is still limited, and he can't understand the sloppy writing, especially the signature.
Whether it's Chinese or foreign, the signatures are all messy.
Qiao Yufan and others immediately came over to help with research.
