Chapter 499 Interest
It's not that no one in the antique shop is in the business of repairing antiques except for the Zheng family, and there are other people who are doing it, but it's just not as good as the Zheng family. But whether it is the Zheng family or other people, as long as they are doing antique restoration, there is almost one way to restore antiques, that is, to put the pieces together like a jigsaw puzzle. Because after the porcelain is broken, it is easy to appear two fragments that cannot be found in the original position at all, but the crack can shine on it. If you put these pieces together, sometimes they fit together so tightly that they can be put together, but they can't get together with the other pieces of the whole porcelain.
Therefore, when restoring antiques, no one picks up two pieces that can be put together and puts them together, so the layman does that. Generally speaking, either start from the bottom of the antique, or start from the head of the antique, you have to spell out one end first, and then continue to fight along this end little by little. In this way, the accuracy can be guaranteed and there will be no rework.
Is there a person who can pick up a piece casually, know which position of the body is a fragment, and can put this piece down casually, but in the end, the whole porcelain is not bad at all?
There are such people, but to do this, there is a prerequisite, that is, this person is very familiar with this style of antiques, and has also handled the restoration of many of this style of antiques. Otherwise, it's just talk.
This may seem like an experience, but when you actually do it, you will find that it is simply an untenable experience. The reason why antiques are antiques is because this kind of thing is handed down from ancient times, and the number is quite small, which can be called antiques.
Among the copper coins of the Qing Dynasty, some of the large quantities issued were picked for 70 yuan in the antique market, and 100 yuan could be bought for two when it came to bargaining. Why are these copper coins cheap? Because there are so many of them, they are not a rare thing. Why is it that, apart from the "five yuan for the two and ten yuan for eight" copper coins, which are clearly fake, there are so few counterfeit copper coins? It is also because there are many people who have come into contact with this thing, and there are also many people who know about this thing, and the counterfeiting basically cannot deter people who are willing to spend 100 yuan to buy a copper coin.
In the same way, how many antiques of the same style can be handed down to this day? If a person can see more than 100 pieces of the same style in his life, then he is considered lucky. As for the salvage from the wreck, it is not widely referenced; the style is exactly the same, and all of them are broken, and it is a valuable antique that is worth spending a lot of money to restore, and how many can there be? If you count the low-end goods, you can repair twenty identical pieces by hand, which is considered lucky. As for high-end goods, if you can repair three or five pieces of the same style, it can already be used as a conversation with people.
To raise the level of "touch it casually, look at it casually, and you will know what position it should be", you have to handle at least a hundred or so antiques with the same style and size, otherwise this will not be raised. It can be seen from the objective reality that if you want to practice at such a level and have such experience, it has a great relationship with luck, but it is not just a matter of being well-informed.
But what about Zheng Zheng? He hasn't ever restored the Sphinx, and he's done it a hundred or ten times, right? And the stones are so scattered, there doesn't seem much difference in size, most of the stones are the same even at the corners, it's a bit unrealistic to remember which stone is which location. Even if Zheng Zheng restored the Sphinx early, counting the time he came to Rome, deducting the time he contacted Anna, and then deducting the time it took him to restore the Sphinx, how much time did Zheng Zheng have to repeatedly review the process of restoring the Sphinx? Not to mention, the news that Zheng Bei got before this time was that Zheng Zheng had "not succeeded in repairing".
But what Zheng Zheng is doing now is completely unreasonable. He found a place to put the stones down, but he didn't put them in random place, and it was obvious that he had put them down after a little thought. That is to say, he not only knows in his heart what these stones will look like after they are piled up, but also clearly knows which of these stones should be in which position.
How did he do it?
Others don't know how powerful this is, but Zheng Bei knows it too well. It was precisely because he was clear that after seeing what Zheng Zheng had done, Zheng Bei fell into a daze.
How did he do it...... How did he do it...... How did he do it......
For a while, Zheng Bei's eyes were straight, although he was still open, he didn't see anything in his heart. This question echoed in his mind, and he couldn't explain it.
"How did he do it?"
Although most of the people in the field couldn't see the way, some people still saw some of Zheng Zheng's strengths, and Kars was one of them. He asked Anna, who was sitting beside him, "Nikolai, how did he do it?
"No, His Highness Kars. When Anna was asked by him, he could only answer truthfully: "It's also the first time I've seen him rehabilitated, and I haven't seen it before." As for how he did it, I don't know. He shouldn't have much time for drills because he doesn't have that much time. ”
"Is that so?" Kars asked in surprise, then looked at Zheng Zheng, who was busy, and shook his head slightly: "It's unbelievable...... It's hard to imagine that he hasn't practiced so many times. Listen to you, he's an archaeologist?"
"Yes. Anna nodded, adding, "Not only is he an archaeologist, but he also comes from a family that has been in the antique trade for generations, which is different from the average archaeologist. ”
"Very good......
Kars didn't speak after saying this, but continued to look at Zheng Zheng, who was busy in the field. Anna on the side hesitated for a moment, wanting to take advantage of Kars's interest in Zheng Zheng to provoke the words of introducing Zheng Zheng to Kars. But after thinking about it, he still gave up, it was better to postpone this matter. Now that the Sphinx has not been restored, Zheng Zheng's surprise to Kars is not enough, if it is proposed by himself, it is better to be proposed by Kars himself.
And...... The six pillars that Zheng Zheng made really made Anna look a little frightened. He really didn't know what Zheng Zheng was going to do with these six pillars, and he just hoped that Zheng Zheng wouldn't make an oolong.
In this kung fu, Zheng Zheng has already put together another section to make a rough approximation. He paused to look at the time, then beckoned to the brawlers who were waiting for his instructions, and asked them to erect the brackets for support.
Generally speaking, this kind of bracket used to bear weight and maintain the state of a sculpture has to be decided according to the situation of the sculpture. For example, in Zheng Zheng's current situation, it is necessary to use a steel pipe to build a cross-section of the size that Zheng Zheng has already spelled out, which is just the frame of the first number of small to place the cross-section that Zheng Zheng has spelled out. When it is time to fully splice it, the sections are put together, the steel pipe frame is disassembled, and then the steel pipe is slowly pulled out of the middle of the two sections.
Among the strong men who received Zheng Zheng's request, there was a relatively thin middle-aged man who looked at the situation on the field and was ready to let people do it according to this idea. However, after Zheng Zheng saw what they were doing, he immediately stopped.
He leaned next to the middle-aged man and communicated with the middle-aged man for a while, and the middle-aged man finally showed a look of sudden realization, and then asked those strong men to rebuild the bracket for bearing and supporting in another way.
The scaffold built this time was built according to Zheng Zheng's intentions, which is very suitable for Zheng Zheng's intentions, but in the eyes of others, it is not reasonable. Because it was supposed to be a separate bracket, it was made into a table-like thing by Zheng Zheng. If you look at it this way, the load-bearing effect is much worse.
"What...... This ......"
Kars was a little stunned. He shrugged his shoulders and frowned at Anna beside him and asked, "Nikolai, although I don't know how to restore a sculpture, what does this Mr. Zheng Zheng do...... It doesn't seem reasonable? He put together layer after layer of sections, isn't it trying to put them together? If you build a support frame in this way, the weight of the sculpture is too high, and the support will not be able to bear the weight of the sculpture. And...... If the spliced section does not use a frame to support the weight, how can it be transported? Once moved, it will fall apart, right?"
Kars asked so many questions that Anna on the side didn't know how to answer him. He said in his heart, "If you ask me, I will ask who to go, and I don't know......
I think I can think like that, but Anna can't say that. He nodded and smiled at Kars, who had raised a question, and then said, "If His Highness Kars wants to remind him, I can do it for His Highness Kars and see how he explains." ”
This is quite level, and he doesn't say that Karls is wrong, he doesn't say that Zheng Zheng is wrong, and he doesn't say that he doesn't understand this matter. However, his words can be regarded as answering Kars's question and protecting Kars's face. If Kars came to ask, and Zheng Zheng gave a good and professional reason, wouldn't that slap Kars in the face?
"This ......"
Kars hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay. I'd love to know why he did what he did, and I'd love to hear his professional advice. ”
"Please wait. Anna nodded to Kars, then stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked to Zheng Zheng, who was busy.
Zheng Zheng was the only one in the huge open space, but Anna walked over, and this unusual movement made everyone else a little curious, not knowing what was going on.
