Chapter 65: Oil Painting on the Wall of the Hotel (Please Read)
Lin Yuan and his friends wandered around here for half a day, just treating it as a tour. It was very leisurely. This is the life everyone wants.

I have to say that the living environment and conditions here are really good.

"If I had money, I would buy a house here and live there for the rest of my life," said Huo Qingtong.

Her family was not poor, but they were not rich either. In order to allow her to study abroad, her family had spent a lot of money. But to be honest, when she graduated, such "returnees" were no longer popular.

Unlike a dozen or twenty years ago, many domestic companies would hire overseas returnees regardless of their "quality".

Nowadays, the domestic talent market has abundant 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 didn't understand the recent policies in the United States, so she explained, "Some states in the United States don't allow Chinese people to buy real estate."

In short, it is very unfriendly to Chinese people.

Some time ago, South Carolina took the lead in enacting a bill prohibiting home purchases. Within a few days, Texas, Montana, and Florida followed suit and enacted a series of discriminatory laws.

The provisions of these bills are extremely strict, covering many aspects such as prohibition on purchasing houses, holding shares and enrolling in schools.

The new bill not only prohibits Chinese citizens from purchasing real estate, but also limits the proportion of individual shareholding. Chinese citizens who want to realize their immigration dreams 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 I need to think about it carefully.

When it was almost night, Lin Yuan and his friends found a hotel to stay in. To be honest, the hotel's interior environment was a bit poor, not as good as the youth hostels in China.

Even my uncle doesn't go out at night.

In his words, it is best not to go out at night in an unfamiliar environment, even though the town looks very peaceful.

Lin Yuan would not go out. Didn’t he see that Henry and Paul were behaving well?
Henry missed his time in China a little bit. He could go out to eat, drink and have fun at night without any worries. Unlike in the United States, you would have to risk your life to go out for a bite to eat.

"Would you like to eat?" Paul brought over some canned food.

Lin Yuan shook his head. He found that Americans particularly liked to eat canned food.

This was not Lin Yuan's illusion, it was indeed the case.

The reason is also very simple.

First of all, canned food is more convenient and quick to eat.

In the fast-paced modern life, canned foods provide a convenient solution. They do not need to be refrigerated, can be stored for a long time, and are available anytime and anywhere.

Secondly, some people think canned food is more hygienic and safer.

After all, canned food has gone through a rigorous processing and packaging process, which can effectively kill bacteria and microorganisms and extend the shelf life of food, which is essential to prevent food spoilage and reduce the risk of food poisoning.

Of course, this is not easy to say. To put it bluntly, this is also a pre-made meal, right? Are there any additives? Don't say that foreign products don't use additives.

In addition, canned food is more economical.

Lin Yuan has become familiar with the prices in the United States these days, especially the high prices of fresh fruits and vegetables. For families and individuals with limited budgets, canned food is an affordable dietary option.

Finally, it is the American food culture. Canned food has existed in American food culture for decades. Many people are used 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.

My uncle glanced at it and said, "Not even dogs would eat that."

That's 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 see." His uncle said to him.

Paul didn't believe it, so he opened the window and made a few "cuzzzzzz" sounds at the dog.

It seems that this is how people all over the world summon small animals. There is something common about this.

Paul waited for the dog to get close before throwing a piece of canned fish in. The dog sniffed it, peed on it and left. It was a critical hit.

Even my uncle, who has a high sense of humor, burst out laughing.

Paul was speechless.

"Brother Lin, what are you looking at?" Huo Qingtong paid more attention to Lin Yuan. She saw him glancing at the oil painting on the wall several times.

The interior decoration of this hotel is a bit poor, but it is very artistic. Various oil paintings are hung in the corridors and rooms.

Lin Yuan did not hide it from everyone. He pointed at the painting on the wall and said, "This painting is quite interesting. It should be the work of a famous artist and worth a lot of money. You should find a way to get it and we can share it."

There is no way to keep it all to yourself.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the painting in surprise.

Henry quickly and carefully took down the painting.

Paul: "Isn't that easy? Just put it in your bag and take it away when you leave."

In his opinion, this is the basic practice of many Americans.

"It's better not to. It would be fine if it's not valuable. Once the news of this painting spreads to this hotel, it would be strange if they don't cause trouble. Let's spend some money!" Qiao Yufan said.

Avoid disputes.

In the United States, some very bizarre lawsuits can be won, let alone this kind.

"I'll go ask," Henry said.

Paul: “I’ll go with you.”

They are both Americans, so they are easy to talk to. If you bring a Chinese person with you, they will definitely ask for a sky-high price.

Lin Yuan looked at the painting carefully.

It turned out to be an Impressionist painting, depicting 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 19s and s. Its influence spread throughout Europe and gradually to all parts of the world.

Impressionist painters stepped out of their studios and went deep into fields, villages, and streets to sketch, striving to portray nature realistically.

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 the scenery under ever-changing lighting conditions.

There are many representative figures of this school of painting, such as Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso, etc.

Lin Yuan quickly found a slightly blurry line of artistic signature on the edge of the painting.

"What does this say?" Lin Yuan's English level was still limited, and he couldn't understand what was written so sloppily, especially the signature.

Whether Chinese or foreign, the signatures are all messed up.

Qiao Yufan and others immediately came over to help with the research.
