Chapter 318: Peak Loop Turn
"Oh, it's that I didn't explain it to Shangguan, it's really old and new, I think it should be the work of the past few years. Yu Yao explained and thought to himself, it should be easier to get a new frame.
Unmounting is the most difficult job in the framing industry, and it is extremely difficult to work with. Especially the old mounting, after so many years, maybe there are still some smoky fires, water-soaked damp mold, insects and rat bites, to remove the paper completely, the difficulty can be imagined.
And the new mounting, after all, is short, and conventionally speaking, it is impossible to be more difficult than the old mounting.
Old Man Meng seemed to see Yu Yao's thoughts, "If it is rice paper, it is easier to mount it new than to mount it old." But this is bamboo paper, it is easy to be brittle after a long time, if it is mounted, the brittleness of the paper is relatively consistent with the slurry, and I can master the processing method, but the old paper is laminated with a new paste, which is very troublesome. β
Yu Yao nodded, "I just understood what you said." β
Shangguan Yu asked, "Is bamboo paper more troublesome than rice paper?"
"That's nature. β
Yu Yao added at this time, "Old man Meng, I just want to leave a separate and complete painting heart." β
Old Man Meng frowned, first looked at Yu Yao, and then at Shangguan Yu, "Xiao Shang, I'll talk straight to you." It's a very ordinary painting. Even if you want to keep it, why do you have to uncover it?"
Old Man Meng should have been in contact with ancient bamboo paper paintings, but he didn't know that this was a moon shadow patch. The person who framed it before must not have known it, otherwise how could it be framed?
Shangguan Yu didn't seem to be willing to lie, but this was Yu Yao's thing, not his, and this thing was very special, "Old man, there will always be some special circumstances in everything, if you can't get it here, I'm afraid it's not easy to find someone." β
Old Man Meng thought for a while, "It's not that you can't try, but you can't guarantee 100%." Unless you use a special potion, the potion I concocted is no problem for ordinary ink paintings. But this painting, apparently, has some unconventional paints, and it can be peeled off, but I don't know what unexpected reaction will be on the painting. β
A connoisseur is an expert, and he has never seen a moon shadow patch, but he can still understand all kinds of basic attributes.
When Yu Yao heard this, he definitely didn't dare to risk using special potions, "Old man, if you don't use special potions, there won't be problems with water, right?"
"Ink pigments don't, only breakage. β
Yu Yao pondered, "Old man, if you remove the old ayako first and don't reveal the life paper, this should be fine, right?"
The life paper is the support paper for the heart, that is, a piece of paper between the heart and the mounting material. This piece of paper is able to prolong the life of the painting heart to a certain extent.
"Of course that's fine. The difficulty I am talking about is between the old bamboo paper and the life paper. If you don't need to reveal the life paper, Xiao Shang won't have to look for me, right?"
Yu Yao, "Old man, I'm not retreating. Besides, even if you remove the old ayako first, can a master like you be the same as an ordinary master?"
"That's right. Old Man Meng faintly revealed a sense of conceit.
"Okay, then let's take off the old Ayako first. Shangguan Yu asked, "Look, when are we coming to pick it up?"
"If you're willing to wait, I'll do it in less than half an hour. β
"So fast?" Yu Yao was shocked.
"Then wait, thank you. Shangguan Yu said, "I'm not welcome, Runge is waiting for you to come out, let's talk." β
Runge generally refers to the remuneration of calligraphy and painting, but like a master like Mr. Meng, many people also borrow the title when it comes to framing.
"That's a little thing, little one, you go back and get me two good bottles. Old Man Meng waved his hand, "You two go to the living room, there can't be anyone next to me when I work." β
Shangguan Yu didn't say much, and Yu Yao went out of the room and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Yu Yao sighed slightly, "Old Man Meng is not sure, this matter is hanging." β
Shangguan Yu lowered his voice, "I was thinking just now, is it okay to take the lamp on the life paper?"
"Definitely not. Yu Yao said, "I can't see this life paper, and I don't know what it is used, it should be rice paper." With the upper light, it is estimated that it has no effect at all. I'm just going to take it one step at a time. β
Yu Yao paused, "Let's go to Mr. Lin's house first and try your patch." β
"Well, I'll take it. β
"By the way, your patch, except for me and Mr. Lin, it's okay for multiple people to watch it, right?"
"That depends on whom. β
Yu Yao gave a brief introduction to Yang Rui's situation.
"Wu Chen's colleague, and you are friends again, no problem. Shangguan Yu agreed.
The two waited outside for half an hour, but they didn't see Old Man Meng come out, and it was inconvenient to knock on the door and disturb them.
Shangguan Yu frowned and whispered, "The old man has always spoken very measuredly, and if he doesn't speak for half an hour, then there won't be a timeout, and there won't be any problems, right?"
"I think the old man is very cautious, the problem should not be raised, could it be that there is something new?" Yu Yao said, "We can only wait." β
The two waited for a full hour before the door opened.
Old Man Meng smiled happily, "Creation!"
"Creation?" Yu Yao and Shangguan Yu said in unison.
"This painting, no life paper! Moreover, this kind of bamboo paper I found after crossing the water, different from the general bamboo paper, this bamboo paper raw material is special, I think it is taken from the tender bamboo super long fiber! The process is delicate and regular, so many years, the toughness is not bad!"
"So you took it off directly?" Yu Yao was pleasantly surprised, "I didn't use the life paper, I didn't use the life paperΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· You didn't see it before, old man?"
"I really didn't expect that the painting heart was directly attached to the old ayazi! The main thing is that the slurry is thick and even, like a life paper!"
Yu Yao thought as he followed into the room, no wonder it took so long!
After entering the room, I saw the old bamboo paper painting heart, tiled on a square metal sheet on the side of the mounting table. When they came in before, they didn't see the piece of metal.
"Special alloy, stainless steel and water absorption, dry overnight!" Old Man Meng explained casually. When they had seen the same, they added another gauze.
"This can't be done with two bottles of wine!" Shangguan Yu smiled and picked up his mobile phone, "I'll call your account, according to the old rules?"
"How can I let you come!" Yu Yao hurriedly said, "What are the old rules?"
Old Man Meng was also very happy, "It's free, it's free! Today I saw another kind of bamboo paper, which is different from ordinary old bamboo paper! If I meet it again in the future, I will have a few of them!"
Shangguan Yu waved his hand at Yu Yao, "Don't be polite to me, let's go back and settle it." β
In other people's homes, it doesn't seem like a matter of snatching and grabbing, so Yu Yao didn't fight anymore, and asked again when he went out.
However, in this case, it will have to be picked up tomorrow.
Shangguan Yu insisted on transferring the account, "This is inevitable, this thing is difficult, you have been busy for an hour, and the old rules are to take care of me!
"You kid!" Old Man Meng didn't continue to be pretentious, "Let's go quickly!"
