Chapter 13: Private Investigation!
"Jingdezhen Taolu" contains: "Stick the bowl method, use unsteamed gluten into the sieve, net a little fine lime, pestle hundreds of times, suddenly boil into the water, stick to bind, dry in the shade." Self-detachment is better than nail pliers. However, it should not be immersed in water for a long time. Where the porcelain is damaged, or use glutinous rice porridge and chicken clearing, grind extremely sticky, add a little powder, and then grind to stick the porcelain damage. ”
Jiang Lai admires such an ancient method of restoration.
"No, I can't. Xiong Boyi raised objections and said: "What age are you still using that backward repair method? Do you know that the means of ceramic repair are becoming more and more advanced, and many projects are using high technology? I don't approve of sticking to the bowl. ”
Lin Chu looked at Jiang Lai and waited for him to continue.
If Jiang Lai is only of this level, then what Xiong Boyi said is correct, and an intermediate restorer in the restoration center can do a good job. Why invite him over?
Of course, it didn't cost much to invite him over, and even the repair cost he asked for was cheaper than the small pieces repaired by an intermediate restorer.
However, he doesn't want money, he wants his life.
Without the sign of "icing on the cake", who can endure his temperament?
"This method of restoration allows for minimal intervention with antique components. It can repair cracks, but it is a non-trace repair, and not a successful repair like the golden method will also leave gold marks on the bottle. ”
"In addition, I want to correct a wrong perception of Mr. Xiong. The means of restoration are varied, but they are always the same. Whether high-tech or old-fashioned, all means have one purpose: perfect restoration. ”
"Some people can cure diseases by pulling a handful of weeds in a mountain stream, while some people use tens of millions of scientific instruments but cannot detect the cause. Is this the cause of the disease? The difference between a good doctor and a quack doctor. ”
"Who do you say is a quack?" Xiong Boyi burst into a rage again. I just wanted to jump up from the chair, but Lin Chuyi reached out in time and pressed him in place and couldn't move.
"What does Mr. Jiang Lai mean?"
"Familiar. Jiang Lai said loudly: "The method is the same, but the skills are different. Naturally, my approach to repair is different from that of other people. ”
"Do you want to use your Jiang family's unique icing on the cake restoration method?"
Jiang Lai nodded and said, "The so-called icing on the cake is nothing more than that our cultivation is better than others." ”
"......" Xiong Boyi's face turned black and blue, blue and purple. The previous gas is not finished yet, and the new qi is coming again...... He felt like he couldn't keep himself busy.
Lin Chu picked up the teacup and handed it to Xiong Boyi, motioning for him to drink tea, and at the same time shut up.
"Are you confident?" Lin Chuyi asked aloud.
"I have the technology. ”
Xiong Boyi took the teacup, but he didn't drink the tea, let alone shut up, and said, "Okay, you proposed this sticky bowl method." You sign the repair plan, and if something goes wrong, it is your responsibility, and you will be responsible for the loss. The boy plays with the water bottle, hum, I see how you can pay for it. ”
"No need to sign. Lin Chuyi looked at Jiang Lai's gentle but firm eyes, and said loudly: "I believe that Mr. Jiang Lai can repair the children's water bottle." ”
"Wise choice. Jiang Lai said loudly. He glanced at Xiong Boyi and said, "If it is repaired by the golden method, even if the boy plays with the water bottle is repaired, do you think the Ueno Pavilion is willing to accept it?"
"Good, good. I'd like to see how you can fix this boy playing with the water bottle with your sticky bowl. If I don't repair it well, I won't even be able to pass this level, let alone think about going to the Ueno Museum to explain it. ”
"Uncle Xiong......" Lin Chuyi was worried that Xiong Boyi would deliberately make things difficult, which would destroy her original intention. She didn't want to be deceived by Jiang Lai, so she found someone to come over and supervise. However, she was even more reluctant to let the restoration work stall because of the conflict between the two, and then miss the important matter of the children's water bottle exhibiting and returning.
"I know. "Xiong Boyi and Lin Chuyi have known each other for many years, so they naturally know how strong this eldest lady's temperament is. If someone in the company dares to hold her back at work, her methods are unguardable. "He repaired the bottle well, and I watched it well. I'll check it out when the restoration is over. ”
Xiong Boyi assured Lin Chuyi that since the restoration plan has been decided, he will not interfere with the restoration process and affect the progress of the restoration.
"It's hard work, Uncle Bear. Lin Chuyi smiled.
He turned to look at Jiang Lai again and said, "When is Mr. Jiang Lai going to start repairing the bottle?"
Jiang glanced at Xiong Boyi and said, "If no one objects, I hope it is now." ”
He raised his wrist to look at the antique watch on his wrist and said, "It should have started half an hour ago, and so much time has been wasted." ”
Xiong Boyi took a big sip of the teacup, his previous qi was not finished, and he was now in the digestion stage.
What's more, he firmly believes in his heart that it is impossible for a "hairy boy" like Jiang Lai to repair such a valuable Southern Song Dynasty boy playing water bottle, and when he picks out some flaws in the acceptance stage or directly declares the repair failed, his personal future and family prestige will also be said to be over.
At that time, look at how he still said these angry words with sharp teeth. I'm afraid that compensating for the loss of the boy's water bottle will also make him bankrupt and unable to turn over for the rest of his life......
Even Xiong Boyi has more obscure thoughts in his heart.
Lin Chuyi, the little girl, didn't take herself as the director of the restoration center in her eyes at all, and made it clear that she was in league with this Jiang Lai, and supported him in every way, even repairing a national treasure such as a children's water bottle did not need to sign a repair contract.
"Wait and see her fall on a big heel. 」
Thinking of Jiang Lai and Lin Chuyi's embarrassed appearance half a month later, the anger in Xiong Boyi's heart dissipated faster.
"If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you. 」
Seeing Jiang Lai's eyes fall on Gong Jin, Lin Chuyi took the initiative to stand up and introduce in the center and said, "Mr. Jiang Lai, this is Gong Jin." Mainly engaged in antique auction work, and is also a good friend of mine. ”
He pointed to Jiang Lai and introduced Gong Jin and said, "This is Jiang Lai, the top restorer in China." This time, he will be the one to restore the broken children's water bottle for our Chaumet Museum. ”
"Hello. Gong Jin glanced at Jiang Lai and said out loud, without meaning to stretch out his hand.
Jiang Lai still sat still, didn't even mean to get up, and replied very perfunctorily: "Hello." ”
Lin Chuyi looked at Jiang Lai's indifferent appearance, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Teacher Jiang, I can't hide it, before I went to see you, I asked Gong Jin to conduct a private investigation on you. When I asked you if you had a mentor, you deliberately kept it a secret from me. What I really didn't expect was that you turned out to be the son of Jiang Ghost Hand. It's really ecstatic. ”
Jiang Lai's face changed suddenly, and he said angrily: "You actually let people investigate me privately?
