Seeing the strangeness of this lacquer plate, Shang Muli couldn't help but be surprised: "Hey, the pattern of this lacquerware seems to be from the five dynasties, but didn't the lacquerware start to stop flourishing in the two Jin Dynasty?"

Boss Xu didn't know much about lacquerware, and asked, "Why didn't the two Jin Dynasty prosper lacquerware?"

Shang Muli patiently explained: "During the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, the wars continued, and Buddhism began to have an impact on the spiritual, cultural and social life of all classes in China. ”

Shang Muli is right, there is indeed this saying in history, but the old man Shang added: "Although the lacquerware has gradually decreased, it does not mean that there is none, there was not a Jin tomb, is the Northern Wei Dynasty Sima Jinlong and his wife Ji Chen buried in the tomb found lacquerware, and the style of lacquerware in this era is particularly similar to the period of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, almost the same, so many people call this period of lacquerware a continuation of the previous era." ”

Xu Qingliu nodded and agreed with the old man Shang's statement: "This should be the lacquerware of the fifth generation, but there is another thing that is more strange, this lacquer plate is not coated with pulp." It is indeed strange that a lacquer plate without a pulp has been preserved to this day, no wonder people will say that it is a fake. ”

After all, the old man Shang is old and has rich life experience, and when he heard Xu Qingliu say this, he probably had a bottom in his heart. He asked, "Xu Qingliu, have you ever heard of alkaline water?"

The old man in business dialed it a little, and Xu Qingliu immediately understood. This slurry is very easy to fall off if it is washed with alkaline water. He picked up the lacquer plate and put it under his nose, fanned it lightly and smelled it, and a smell of old came to his face, but if he looked closely, it was not difficult to find that there was actually a faint alkaline smell inside.

And so it was!

Xu Qingliu knew the answer, turned his head and asked Boss Xu: "Boss Xu, have you just washed this lacquerware?"

But I didn't expect Boss Xu to answer very affirmatively: "Definitely not, I still know that this wood is easy to rot when it comes to water, how can I wash it often." ”

Xu Qingliu seemed to say to himself: "That's strange." ”

When Mrs. Xu heard Xu Qingliu ask like this, she seemed to remember something.

"I ...... When my sister came to play at our house last week, because she couldn't find the tray for delivering tea, she used this lacquer plate, because there was tea spilled, so I asked my sister to wash it and dry it before putting it back. ”

Mrs. Xu felt a little uneasy and looked at Xu Qingliu in fear.

Xu Qingliu is already very decided, and the truth is revealed.

"This lacquerware is usually coated with a slurry to preserve it for a long time. When Boss Xu went to sell this thing, it shouldn't be earlier than last week, because when this pulp encounters alkaline water, it will fall off, and the tea is alkaline. ”

Mrs. Xu didn't expect that her momentary mistake would cause such a big disaster, so she took Boss Xu's hand uneasily and said, "Old Xu...... I didn't mean to. ”

Boss Xu patted her hand lightly to reassure her.

Turning his head, he asked: "Is it easy to rot without lacquerware, is there any way to save it?" I don't want to be able to sell it for money, I just want to store it well, at least I can't be sorry for my ancestors, let the things that have been handed down for so many years be wasted in my hands. ”

Old Man Shang and Xu Qingliu were both frowning, as if they were contemplative, and Boss Xu was a little uneasy when they saw it.

Mrs. Xu was even more uneasy, but she seemed to remember something and hurried back to the room.

When she came out again, she also held a box in her hand, if Xu Qingliu was not mistaken, this was probably the kind of makeup used by the ancients, used to store jewelry.

Before Xu Qingliu and the others could ask, Mrs. Xu spoke in advance: "Little Brother Xu, old man Shang, please, you must help Lao Xu, it's all my fault, it's all my carelessness." If you can get this lacquer plate right, the little girl will not be grateful, only these dowries are worth a little money, so you can choose whatever you want. ”

As she spoke, she opened the box of makeup.

I have to say that this Mrs. Xu is really not small, whether it is from her behavior and habits, the dragon well before the rain just now, or the current makeup, the person who can take out these things must not be an ordinary person.

Moreover, it may be a coincidence that these things can be taken out, but if they are all taken out, it is inevitable.

looked at the things in the makeup with great interest.,I don't know if I don't see it.,It's really startled when I see it.。

Where is this local tyrant, this is completely a rich local tyrant, okay?

Xu Qingliu sighed softly: "Mrs. Xu really has an extraordinary family background." ”

A word is not soft, and everyone present can hear it.

Mrs. Xu's face was slightly red, and she explained, "Actually, it's okay...... It's all the elders who have the ability, and in our generation, the family background is not so thick. ”

Xu Qingliu glanced at Mrs. Xu meaningfully, and said: "Madame is too modest, look at these, a pair of cloisonne bracelets from the Qing Dynasty, a pair of jade jade bracelets, and earrings made of Dongzhu, and the celadon hairpin of Yue Kiln, take it out, it's not a heavy treasure." ”

Old Man Shang felt that Xu Qingliu's words were a bit excessive, so he stopped him from continuing with his eyes, and said to Mrs. Xu: "Brother and sister are too polite, what is there to thank or not, Lao Xu's business is my business, we should do our best to help." ”

Shang Muli said at the right time: "In fact, this slurry is just an oxide layer formed by long-term oxidation on the surface of cultural relics, and it is not a rare thing." It's just that this pulp is something that carries the age, and the older the age, the thicker the pulp will be, and the more shiny it will look. I suggest that Boss Xu protect this lacquer plate well in his life, first let it form a thin layer of slurry, so that it is not easy to be damaged, and then slowly accumulate. ”

Mr. Shang actually agreed with Shang Muli's words, and then she said: "Ran Ran is right, the original slurry of this lacquer plate must not be able to get back, and then I can only trouble the two of you to keep it well, and strive to make it produce a new slurry." ”

But Xu Qingliu didn't agree with this point of view, because if he didn't change the original pulp, then the lacquerware would still be wasted, and he now had a bold idea, but he just didn't know if it would work.

After hesitating for a long time, he still decided to speak out and let everyone help with the reference: "Because the pulp is gradually a protective layer due to various factors in the long years. And I think we can use modern technology to simulate what this paint plate has gone through over the years, and then artificially make it travel through that layer of slurry. ”

In fact, Xu Qingliu didn't say these words casually, it was because there were relevant records in the codex that his master gave him, so he dared to say that.

But Shang Muli didn't agree: "But isn't this a fake and old?"

Xu Qingliu shook his head: "No, no, Boss Xu won't sell this lacquer plate now, and when he continues to put it for a few decades or hundreds of years, there will definitely be new slurry on the slurry, and there will be no traces of old at all." ”

Old Man Shang has always been an enlightened person, and he is not so resistant to being old, he thought about it seriously for a while, and said to Boss Xu: "Actually, this method of Little Brother Xu is also a good way." ”

Boss Xu was speechless with emotion now.

But Mrs. Xu also has new worries: "But who will make this pulp, Lao Xu and I don't know such talents." ”

Old Man Shang looked at Xu Qingliu with a smile and said, "Since this method was proposed by Brother Xu, then he must have a way to make pulp, you can rest assured that you can hand over the things to him." ”

I have to say that the old man Shang is really cunning.

However, Xu Qingliu also wanted to have a chance to exercise his master's teaching skills, but did not refuse, but said lightly: "If you believe me, leave this lacquer plate with me, and I will send it back to you in three months, how about it?"

Boss Xu is very moved now, don't thank Xu Qingliu and them too much, where would they refuse, nodded hurriedly and said: "Okay, of course, I believe in Brother Xu, Brother Xu, even if Brother Xu trys, anyway, this lacquer plate is already like this, and I don't care if it gets worse." ”

Xu Qingliu couldn't cry or laugh when he was made, and he didn't know whether to say that this Boss Xu was really good now.

But since they gave it to him, he would definitely do his best to make it a good one. He carefully put the lacquer plate back into the mahogany box, closed the lid, and then held the mahogany box in his arms.

Old Man Shang saw that the business was done, and the time was almost up, so he asked Boss Xu to say goodbye.

But Boss Xu and Mrs. Xu insisted on leaving them at home for a light meal, in order to thank them. But Xu Qingliu and Old Man Shang, Shang Muli had already eaten their hearty breakfast for free, and they were embarrassed to stay here for lunch any longer, so they insisted on going back.

Boss Xu couldn't stop them, so he personally sent them out of the house.

The three of them went all the way back to the hotel, and the old man asked Xu Qingliu to prepare well, saying that he would take him to visit the antique street here in the afternoon.

It is said to be an antique street, but it is actually a pedestrian street, and there are many stalls on the street. There are often a lot of real antiques in stalls like this, but there are also a lot of fakes, and if you can buy really good things, you can be considered profitable.

Xu Qingliu is still very interested in such a place, because such a place is the most suitable for him to Taobaobei.

So he nodded expectantly, and then went back to his room with the mahogany box, he really had to prepare well.
