Chapter 7 The Art of Restoration

There was a knock on the door, Mu Qichen retracted his gaze and thoughts, and Tang Ruan said as he walked towards the door: "It's okay, the blind mother-in-law is just sending water." ”

She opened the door, saw the tea outside the door, squatted down to bring it in, Mu Qichen looked back, did not see the figure of the blind mother-in-law, sighed in her heart again, and when her eyes were withdrawn, she fell on the repair table.

Seeing that his face was full of curiosity, Tang Ruan handed her a glass of water, pointed to the things on the table and said one by one: "Na, diamond diamonds, bow drills, dance drills, crank drills, and diamonds all over the world, am I keeping pace with the times?"

She picked the tail of her eyes, and looked at the tools that were plain and unremarkable, as if she had a deep relationship with them, and patted them lightly with her fingertips, as if she was soothing her pet.

Tang Ruan's tone was a little proud, and he elongated his tone: "Uncle, don't worry, these things of mine are handed down from my ancestors, not everyone has them, and the porcelain you gave was completely repaired, but ......"

She was a little puzzled: "I have a variety of choices here, what to make up for the old with the old, paint to make up, wax to make up, gold to make, glue, baking, and can also help you go back to the furnace to rebuild, which one do you want?"

At this moment, Mu Qichen's face was embarrassed, he didn't know that there were so many kinds of porcelain restoration, and what he had heard of was just baked porcelain and gold.

"What do you think?"

He looked at Tang Ruan with a sincere question.

Tang Ruan pursed his lips, walked around from behind the table, and beckoned to Mu Qichen: "You come here." ”

Mu Qichen followed her to a shelf, and Tang Ruan tiptoed and pointed to a cyan porcelain bowl on the shelf.

At first glance, it looks somewhat similar to the color of the fragments he brought, but the glaze is clear and noble, which is not at all comparable to the glaze of his fragments, even if at this moment, there are several obvious patches like staples on the outside of this porcelain bowl.

"If you haven't seen the finished product of your shard, look at this one as well, if you repair it with a baking nail, the final product will be like this, but you will use a little bit more baking nails. ”

Mu Qichen lowered his eyes and glanced at her, seeing that her eyes were serious, and knew that she had already entered the state of work.

Between the slight movements in his heart, Tang Ruan tugged at the corners of his sleeves again, and he followed him to the other side of the shelf with her strength, among which there was a slightly smaller porcelain bowl, which was the same color as the one just now, but there were no traces of repair on it, compared to the one just now, it was more graceful.

Tang Ruan carefully took the thing down, and pointed to Mu Qichen's hand with his chin: "Reach out." ”

Mu Qichen opened his right hand in confusion, and Tang Ruan smiled: "Uncle, two hands, my bowl is hard to repair, who will I reason with if you fall?"

Mu Qichen was stunned: "This bowl has been repaired?"

"Of course!" Tang Ruan raised his tail note and pointed to a place: "Touch it lightly with your hand, do you feel it?"

Mu Qichen followed her words and gently touched the place she pointed with his fingertips, such a touch, it really made him feel it, this seems to be integrated with the porcelain bowl There is no difference between it, and the touch is a little bit Microsoft compared to other places.

Mu Qichen was a little surprised, and looked at Tang Ruan for answers.

"This is the wax repair I just told you, the glaze color is no different from the original, but after getting started, you can still feel that the wax repair is a little soft. ”

Tang Ruan took the porcelain bowl away from Mu Qichen's hand, patted it carefully as he did just now, and put it back in its original position: "I usually use this way to repair the monochrome porcelain that is generally used for ornamentation, it looks good." ”

Mu Qichen was surprised in his heart, and saw that Tang Ruan took him around a few shelves again, and explained to him one by one: "This is our local gold supplement, it looks rougher, but it is also practical, like this three-color phoenix tail bottle, repaired with the method of gold thread, coated with gold color, beautify the traces of repair, and integrate with the original pattern, which is also its charm." ”

Mu Qichen observed for a long time with heavy eyes, his eyes were full of amazement: "I've heard that it's more popular in Japan. ”

Tang Ruan's eyes lifted upward: "No, it can make people proud." ”

Mu Qichen smiled, but Tang Ruan didn't plan to take him to see it again, but said: "But I think that your porcelain should be repaired with the baked nails handed down by our ancestors." ”

Mu Qichen's heart moved, and he asked rhetorically: "Why do you say that?"

Tang Ruan turned around and returned to the table, Mu Qichen followed, and then the two faced these large shelves, all kinds of porcelain on the shelves showed their own colors, even those porcelains full of baked nails, as if telling their own spanning thousands of years, Ruili but vicissitudes, which made people feel full of emotion.

Tang Ruan said slowly: "You also said that the porcelain bowl was left by your lost relatives." ”

Mu Qichen replied softly: "My grandfather treasured it for a lifetime." ”

Tang Ruan nodded and continued: "Such a broken porcelain bowl, he can treasure it for a lifetime, that bowl must have an extraordinary meaning for him, for you, there is no point in repairing it, after all, in terms of value, that porcelain bowl has no wealth value." ”

"And meaningful, is your grandfather's treasured story, the emphasis is on love, not things, there is no need to make those fancy, simple is the best. ”

Mu Qichen thought deeply and nodded in agreement.

Tang Ruan said again: "Baking nails are like scars, and for porcelain, having scars does not mean that they are injured, but more like they are healed. ”

Mu Qichen listened to her words, his heart was greatly shaken, he suddenly remembered his grandfather's tears before he died, what kind of story does this bowl carry, the meaning of exploration in Mu Qichen's heart, with Tang Ruan's words, deepened.

Mu Qichen pondered, his eyes shuttled between these shelves, and turned his head to ask Tang Ruan, "Can I see these things myself?"

Tang Ruan pursed his lips in thought, but quickly shrugged his shoulders again: "It's okay, as long as you are careful." ”

"Oh, put this on. ”

Tang Ruan had already fished a pair of gloves from the table and threw them to Mu Qichen, who caught them and put them on.

Seeing that he was very engrossed, Tang Ruan exhaled lightly and turned to the repair table, looking at the porcelain fragments sent by Du Qingchuan to himself.

Mu Qichen was fascinated by it, and Tang Ruan's study seemed to pull him into another world all of a sudden.

When the restored porcelain was neatly arranged on the shelves, he knew in his heart that they were broken, but they were stored here as if they were intact.

The mastery of this repair technique, as well as the sheer volume of these things, when they appeared in front of him in this form, Mu Qichen felt a deep sense of power in his heart.

It is a power that leaves aside the value of money, and people can't help but sigh and attract people's power, magnificent, mysterious, as if grasping people's hearts to find out what kind of changes they have experienced in the first place, and it is still so shocking after the remnants of the body are restored.

His heart was shaken, and he finally carefully took a porcelain vase down as he turned to the third row of shelves.
