"This is actually an incense burner, don't look at it as broken, it's not cheap. It was during the Western Han Dynasty, and it was damp, and this place was a little corroded, and there was too much rust. And here, you see, it's broken, and it has to be repaired. You can't do this job, you have to find a special person to do it. ”

Ye Xiaochi also knew that she had only learned even the most basic maintenance for more than two hours now, and such a complex damage to the bronzes of the Western Han Dynasty was not something she could handle at all. Even if she didn't know much about this aspect, she could know by imagination that at least she had to go through various procedures such as rust removal, corrosion prevention, repair, etc. The method of rust removal alone involves a lot of professional knowledge.

Those things didn't happen overnight, and what she was most interested in now was not this, but why the incense burner was made in this style, which was far from the style of the incense burner in her mind. She has seen the simple and smooth open copper incense burner, and she has also seen the exquisite and rich imperial copper cloisonné enamel incense burner used in the Qing Dynasty palace on TV and pictures.

Antique shops are not like department stores, and there are often no customers, so no one comes. Dong Qing took a sip of water, pointed to the peak-shaped carving on the top of the Boshan furnace, and said, "Look, does this look like a mountain?"

"Well, it's carved like a mountain, what is the mountain carved on the incense burner?" Not only the mountain, but also the phoenix, and the clouds that seemed to be flowing, as for the heavily rusty place, she didn't know what was carved on it.

"You say, if you light the herbs in this censer, and smoke comes out of it, do you have to float out from above?"

Ye Xiaochi felt that Dong Qing's attitude was much better now than in the morning, so he didn't throw the answer directly to her, but started the step-by-step enlightenment teaching mode......

"That's for sure. At this time, Ye Xiaochi's mind had already emerged with the scene of smoke above the bronze incense burner. At this time, she seemed to understand a little bit why the incense burner was carved into such a shape. Sure enough, what Dong Qing told her next coincided with her guess.

"Do you think, as soon as the smoke comes out, this whole incense burner doesn't look like the fairy mountain in the mythological story?"

Ye Xiaochi nodded again and again, it was too similar, a little smoke, how to look at this incense burner, how it looked like a fairyland. As for the carved clouds, aren't they just floating on the mountain?

The ancients have always liked to decorate all kinds of utensils, ornaments, buildings, and clothing with rare birds and animals and patterns with various meanings. Then it is easy to explain the appearance of phoenixes and patterns that cannot be seen in the serious rust on this Boshan furnace.

Dong Qing said this, opened the door of the small cabinet against the wall, took out a book, and turned to a certain page in front, "Look for yourself, this is a detailed description of the origin of the Boshan furnace......

"Boshan furnace is a kind of incense full of immortal thoughts, because of the pursuit of immortal elixir and the popularization of the idea of overseas immortal mountains, from the Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin dynasties, there is often a special incense burner in the shape of the legendary overseas immortal mountains - Boshan furnace ......"

She was fascinated by it, and her hand involuntarily stretched out, touching the lines of the peak at the top of the Nabo Mountain furnace on the table, as well as the phoenix that was still lifelike despite the rust, at this time she suddenly felt that her fingers were like a trace of electricity, her heart trembled, and she subconsciously retracted her hand.

At first, she thought it was an illusion, but when she thought of the feeling when she was maintaining those Ming and Qing bamboo pen holders in the morning, she faintly felt that something strange had happened.

Dong Qing saw her hand shrink, but he didn't reprimand her, but only asked: "What's wrong?" After Ye Xiaochi said embarrassedly that it was okay, he admonished: "Some antiques have to be touched again with gloves, just the two of us now, forget it, and you will know it after you have been here for a long time in the future." In the future, remember that when Professor Xu is here, you must be careful, he doesn't care if you are male or female, and he will say it if he can't see it. ”

Ye Xiaochi saw that Dong Qing was cautious when he mentioned this person, so he asked curiously, "Who is Professor Xu?"

"He is an expert invited by Chengzi, and there are antiques in the store that we can't repair well, such as gold and stone and porcelain, mainly because he organizes people to repair them. As for calligraphy and painting, there are other people's. He's a guy with real skills, but his temper is as big as his ability, anyway, when you see him, it's always right to pay attention. ”

After Dong Qing said this, he was moved by himself, looking at him as a teacher, not only did he not have a little shelf, but even the teaching methods were getting closer and closer, and even he didn't know that he still had this side. It's a pity, I didn't go to college at the beginning, otherwise I would have taken the graduate school exam or something, if I had the opportunity to stand on the podium, would the students like a teacher like him?

I heard that there are four classes of people, the first class of people have the ability to have no temper, the second class of people have the ability and temper, and the third class of people have no ability to have a temper, at least it is not disliked. And even if the fourth-class person has no ability, his temper still stinks, then everyone wants to hide far away, so if he Dong Qing is really as capable as Professor Xu, he can barely stand on the first-class level's boundary......

Thinking of this, Dong Qing himself secretly laughed at himself, what kind of stuff did he think about when he looked at the store every day? Originally, he said that it was Boshan furnace, but he thought that these things were crooked to the Pacific Ocean.

However, this is the case in the antique shop, and he often sits alone at a small table to guard the shop, making a pot of tea when he has nothing to do. Maybe it's just that the tea is poured too much, and the last time he went to the doctor because of coughing, the man also warned him that he drank too much tea, and the humidity was a little heavy, so let him drink water moderately.

But now that Ye Xiaochi is here, and he is quite willing to listen to people, Dong Qing feels that the air that was a little stuffy and can't flow in the antique shop seems to be alive.

Ye Xiaochi didn't pay attention to what Dong Qing was thinking at this time, she grabbed the sofa cushion she was sitting on at this time, and touched the water cup on the coffee table and the glass on the coffee table, nothing abnormal, just a feeling of touching something.

Ye Xiaochi guessed if it was something that had been inherited from ancient times, and after a long history and the play and appreciation of different characters in the past dynasties, would there be some kind of field on it?

Seeing that she was silent, Dong Qing felt that he was a little nagging? She didn't want to listen to it? He hadn't been so nagging before!

Thinking of this, he didn't speak again, and after drinking the glass of water, he got up to go up to the door of the store to blow the wind.

Ye Xiaochi asked him: "Brother Dong, do you think you have seen me before?" When Zuo Yucheng introduced her to Dong Qing, he didn't say that she had ever been here, but only said her name.

Dong Qing listened to her words, looked at her face carefully, and said honestly: "It's really familiar, it's been a month or two, I saw one at that time, it looks like you, it's thinner than you, it's true, but it's a pity that the girl is on crutches." Is it your relative?"

Dong Qing's memory is indeed good, not to mention that everyone who has been here remembers, at least a considerable part of them have been registered in his brain. Ye Xiaochi didn't use crutches, and he didn't dare to think about it in that direction.

"It's not my relative. Ye Xiaochi looked at Dong Qing with a smile. Dong Qing thought that he had made a fuss, and hurriedly said: "Then I must have seen it wrong, there are many people in the world who look alike." ”

"Hehe, it's not my relative, but it's closer than a relative. Hearing Ye Xiaochi say this, Dong Qing stopped talking, who is that?

"That's me, now I'm better and a little fatter, so I'm out to work. After Ye Xiaochi said this, Dong Qing suddenly realized, no wonder the two are so similar?

"Look at my eyes......" Dong Qing laughed at himself. When the two of them said this, the rustiness they had when they first met in the morning was as if it never existed.
