Jiang Lai doesn't want money.

Because he is rich.

After he became a director of the Medici Art Fund, which had sponsored artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael, he made enough money to invest in international art collections and auctions, new artists and emerging art fields. After Shi Daochen earned the first pot of gold in his life, he relied on his excellent vision and advanced artistic aesthetics to buy and sell a large number of works of art at a low price, and the numbers on the account snowballed bigger and bigger, and finally became a snow-capped mountain that people looked up to.

When the senior brother is rich, he naturally will not forget to bring his junior brother.

Shi Daochen also has a point of view that most of the antique cultural relics in the hands of foreign collectors were obtained at zero cost or low cost in the past, and the devices that were bought for hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past are now worth millions of dollars and even need to be measured in hundreds of millions. The brothers and sisters could not afford to buy all these antiques back to China, but if these collectors needed it, they could charge a "interest" first.

Therefore, whenever someone came to Jiang Lai to repair those calligraphy, painting and porcelain from the Far East, Shi Daochen would work hard to help Jiang Lai make a lot of money. Jiang Lai didn't know how much money he had in his card, and he didn't usually spend money anyway.

Of course, people who can say things like, "Money is just a number to me" or "I don't like money," are usually not short of money.

Gong Jin understood Jiang Lai's thoughts, he was homesick, just like himself. In the open and lonely place, you can see the most beautiful moon. In this reinforced concrete city with high-rise buildings and neon flashes, the burden of life is a luxury for you to even look up at the sky, right?

How long has it been since you looked up to admire the night sky?

Picking the last piece of peach meat on the plate into his mouth, he said, "If there's anything I need to do, just ask." ”

Seeing Jiang Lai open his mouth to speak, he hurriedly added: "Don't let me take the garbage out." ”

Jiang Lai looked helpless and said, "Then it's okay." ”

Gong Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll go back." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, never giving Jiang Lai a chance to speak again.

-------

As usual, when Jiang Lai walked to the entrance of the community, the silver BMW was already waiting there. Jiang Lai carried the repair box into the back seat, fastened his seat belt, and said, "You can go." ”

Lin Chuyi started the car and said, "Teacher Jiang has had breakfast, right?"

She is now completely desperate for Jiang Lai, whether it is sitting in the back seat and treating herself as a special car driver, or the first thing she does when she gets into the car every day is to fasten her seat belt tightly and not believe in her driving skills at all, Lin Chuyi can accept it with peace of mind.

You don't know you're going to have such a good temper until you meet someone.

Jiang Lai thought for a while and asked, "Have you eaten it?"

"Nope. Lin Chuyi said, after seeing Gong Jin last night, he had insomnia again. So, I can only buy a casual breakfast outside today to deal with it. "I brought my own breakfast though. ”

"I've had breakfast, but I can still have another one. Jiang Lai looked at the food box in the passenger cab expectantly, and asked, "Are you bringing pancakes?"

"No, it's chopped pepper fish heads. ”

“……”

This woman is stingy and vindictive.

Shi Daochen actually said that she would like herself...... Jiang Lai didn't want her to like herself.

"Forget it, I'll give you a piece. Lin Chuyi opened the food box, and sure enough, it was pancake fruit. And she also asked people to cut the pancake fruit into two parts, handed one to Jiang Lai, and ate the other one herself.

Jiang Lai happily took the pancake fruit, and his impression of this woman changed greatly: it was slightly more generous than he imagined.

The two of them didn't speak, and they ate the pancake fruit "click-click".

After eating, Lin Chuyi wiped his hands, and then started the car and drove in the direction of Shang Bo.

When he arrived at the restoration center, Jiang Lai once again locked himself in the No. 1 restoration room. And Lin Chuyi is still standing in the previous place watching, although the exhibition date is getting closer and closer, but she is not in a hurry at all.

She has seen the restoration results of the Tongzi water bottle, and she believes that Jiang Lai will definitely restore it perfectly.

After agreeing to Jiang Lai's "non-destructive life-sustaining" repair plan, Lin Chuyi discussed and communicated with the Uenokan side, and after several rounds of meetings and discussions, they finally accepted Lin Chuyi's plan. After all, they didn't want the cracks in the water bottle to get worse and worse, and finally turn into a puddle of dust and disappear into the long river of time.

Of course, this time Naomi owes the Ueno Museum a great favor, and if they want to hold any themed exhibitions to borrow the collection in the future, Naomi will have no reason to refuse.

Lin Chuyi was thinking about his own thoughts when the glass door of the No. 1 restoration room was pushed open by Jiang Lai.

"I need a piece of porcelain. Jiang Lai said loudly.

"What?"

"A piece of porcelain from the Southern Song Dynasty is best a fragment of porcelain from the official kiln of the same period as the Southern Song Dynasty Tongzi Water Bottle. Jiang Lai said loudly.

"Are the requirements so demanding? There may be porcelain fragments from the Southern Song Dynasty, but they are not necessarily the same period as the Tongzi water bottle, and they are not necessarily from the official kiln......

"Yes. Jiang Lai said loudly. "The closer the better, the best of the official kiln. ”

"Okay, I'll have someone look for it in the storeroom. Lin Chuyi said out loud.

He found Xiong Boyi and asked him to personally lead people to the warehouse to find porcelain fragments. Xiong Boyi also understands this truth, and repair is not only to repair the scars on the porcelain body, but also to communicate with each other and have similar colors.

In terms of modeling repair, it is a big difference, and it is a thousand miles away. Perhaps the general public can't see that there is anything wrong, but in the eyes of connoisseurs, it is a huge flaw.

Therefore, for these restorers, if they are not confident that they can "repair perfectly", it is better to allow the cracks to exist and repair the old as before.

It's like if you want to restore a painting by Gu Kaizhi, there is a missing piece in the middle of the drawing paper, and you can find the paper of the same period to complete the painting, but if you want to restore it to the original level, you need to have the same painting skills as Gu Kaizhi...... That's the most testing thing.

Therefore, there is a shortage of restorers now, and the reason why restorers of special collections are even more rare is here. Because if you want to become a skilled restorer, you need to master too many skills: not only must you have a deep knowledge of history, painting, and writing, but also a certain amount of knowledge of chemistry, physics, aesthetics, materials, etc.

No restorer dared to restore Gu Kaizhi's paintings, except for those counterfeiters and dealers of cultural relics.

However, today, Jiang Lai wants to challenge the "traceless repair" of the child's water bottle. This is the same principle as restoring Gu Kaizhi's paintings.

In Xiong Boyi's view, Jiang Lai's behavior is self-defeating.
