In a blink of an eye, on the 6th, Meng Zitao had almost dealt with the things at work, and the self-examination had been completed yesterday. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

For Meng Zitao, the self-examination was a complete piece of cake for him, and he also had the ability to get a high score, but he didn't do it, because he didn't have to prove himself with this now, on the contrary, he would attract the attention of others because of his high score.

Meng Zitao set a plane for the evening, and in the morning he went to the antique shop to deal with some things.

Today is Monday, and there are basically no customers in the antique street, so Meng Zitao discussed the development of the antique shop with Hu Yuanliang.

"Boss, what is the positioning of our store?" asked Hu Yuanliang.

Meng Zitao replied: "It's better to focus on literary play, of course, if you have any opinions, you can just mention them." ”

Hu Yuanliang said: "Boss, I don't mean anything else, it's just that although our store is mainly cultural toys, there are no outstanding cultural toys for sale, and the treasure of the town store is not cultural toys." ”

"Hmm......" Meng Zitao smiled: "I really blame me for this, you also know that you like to collect cultural toys, and the slightly better cultural toys have been collected by myself, according to me, it seems that the things in the store are really not suitable for cultural toys." What is your opinion?"

Hu Yuanliang said: "Actually, cultural toys are also very good, now there are more and more cultural toys, such as bracelets are still quite popular, and you can usually prepare more." ”

Meng Zitao nodded and said: "I have no opinion, you can decide for yourself, but there is one, you have to take the boutique route." ”

Hu Yuanliang said with a smile: "That's for sure, don't look at the amount of ordinary bracelets, but when it comes to making money, it's still a lot of high-quality products." In addition to cultural toys, I recommend porcelain, and you have a lot of fine porcelain, I think it is easy to make our store famous. ”

Meng Zitao thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, you can do it." ”

Hu Yuanliang said: "You want to say that I have some channels for cultural play, but I can only rely on you in terms of porcelain, and I am not very good at porcelain." ”

Meng Zitao said: "I'm busy during this time, so let's put it aside for the time being." ”

Hu Yuanliang waved his hand: "It's okay, this matter is not in a hurry for the time being." ”

After discussing some things in the store, Meng Zitao tested Zhu Xinyue's learning results during this time, and the results were quite satisfactory.

Speaking of the relationship between Meng Zitao and Zhu Xinyue, it is actually a bit like a master and apprentice, but because Meng Zitao feels that he is young, he has no idea of accepting apprentices, but Zhu Xinyue is indeed quite talented in this regard, and he is also very diligent, so although he did not accept Zhu Xinyue as an apprentice, he also tried his best to teach.

And Zhu Xinyue did not live up to Meng Zitao's expectations, and there were basically new changes on the first day.

However, because Zhu Xinyue is indeed worse in terms of receiving people and things, Meng Zitao thinks that he may be a better research-oriented expert, of course, Zhu Xinyue is still very young, and what kind of development he will develop in the future depends on himself.

Meng Zitao was about to ask Zhu Xinlu a question, when a middle-aged man wearing a short-sleeved shirt walked in from outside the door, and he was still holding a bag of things in his hand.

"Boss, can you repair jade here?"

Hu Yuanliang was about to say no, but Meng Zitao spoke first: "Whether it can be repaired or not, it depends on what procedures the jade is damaged, you can take it over and see it first." ”

"Are you the boss here?" The middle-aged man looked at Meng Zitao, his eyes full of doubts.

Hu Yuanliang said: "I said, when you came here, you didn't inquire about my boss first?"

The middle-aged man said: "I don't have a friend in your business, even if I want to ask someone, I can't find anyone, but your boss is too young, right?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "If you don't trust me, then please go find someone else." ”

"What else are you looking for, you and this is the last store I found. ”

The middle-aged man muttered: "Lingshi is a small place in the end, and it can't be compared with Jinling, forget it, just treat it as a dead horse as a live horse doctor, please see if you can repair it, if you can't fix it, I'll take it directly." ”

The middle-aged man put the thing he was holding on the table and opened it, only to see that at least a dozen jade fragments appeared inside.

Seeing this situation, Hu Yuanliang said: "Just like this, even if you get Jinling, it will be difficult to repair it." ”

"In other words, you can't fix it here?" the middle-aged man asked.

Meng Zitao shook his head and asked, "To what extent do you want to repair it?"

The middle-aged man replied: "Of course, it's best not to see the traces." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of taking the plunge, unless it is an immortal who makes a move, it is impossible to have no traces at all." ”

"How far can you cultivate?"

"It depends on how much you are willing to spend, at most I can repair it for you, ordinary people can't see the traces without careful inspection, but the cost is great. ”

The middle-aged man asked, "How much does it cost if I want to get to this point?"

"Wait a minute. ”

Meng Zitao simply spliced the jade fragments, the fragments were basically complete, and they were made of high-grade Khotanese white jade seed materials and carved exquisitely, which may also be the reason why middle-aged people wanted to repair it.

The type of jade is a double-diptych bottle, which is rectangular, the shape is like a pendant, the cutting is smooth, warm and smooth, the outline is delicate, it is gorgeous and gorgeous, and it is arranged properly, and the decorative effect is excellent.

Double-capped bottles, also known as "Heqiao" cups, "Heqiao" cups have become popular in the Ming Dynasty, and they are more common in the Qing Dynasty. It is a scoop-shaped vessel, used to hold wine, and the ancients called the big wedding a combination, which is in line with the way of yin and yang, and is festive and auspicious. Both sides of the double-cap bottle are engraved with eagle and bear patterns, the eagle is carved on the top, the bear is engraved below, the eagle steps on the bear, and the name is "hero" with homophony, so it is also called the hero bottle.

The middle of the jade bottle is bore, the craftsmanship is exquisite, the chamber is smooth and flat, the mouth of the child and mother is tightly sealed, and there are few cutting marks after the buckle. Between the two bottlenecks are connected with the hero pattern and the rope pattern, and the surrounding decoration is connected with the dragon pattern, the carving is wonderful, the lines are hidden on the jade surface, clear and not dewed, the beauty of the ornament and the material is blended together, and it can be seen that the craftsmanship is good.

This product is a typical Qianlong carving, not only the jade quality is excellent, and the carving is simple and bright, although it has been broken, but it can also be seen, its overall line appears straight and tough, and does not lose the elegance and beauty, quite decorative interest. The overall harmony of the ornamentation, the detailed depiction is easy, which shows the superb skills of the craftsmen, and is the pinnacle of the imperial jade of the Qing Dynasty.

When he saw the jade fragment just now, Meng Zitao could feel the extraordinaryness of this jade, but he didn't expect that it was actually the top jade of the Qianlong Palace, which made Meng Zitao feel some pressure.

However, pressure is motivation, and Meng Zitao is not worried that he is still very confident in achieving his commitments, but the corresponding expenses are of course indispensable.

"Excuse me, sir, what is your surname?" Meng Zitao asked.

The middle-aged man replied: "Don't give your surname You, You Minqiang." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Mr. You, you must understand the value of this jade, right?"

You Minqiang nodded and said, "Of course, the market price should be around six or seven million." If it weren't so precious, I wouldn't want to mend it. ”

Meng Zitao said: "Mr. You, then I will say it bluntly, if I am asked to repair this jade, the cost will be a bit expensive." ”

"How much?"

"Ten percent of the total price of the whole machine. ”

"What, isn't that six or seven hundred thousand? You're not kidding?" You Minqiang was obviously shocked by the price.

Meng Zitao nodded and said: "Yes, I'm not joking, I'll give you an analysis, now that the jade is like this, it must not be very valuable." But after my repair, I can recover at least a third of the loss, can you calculate whether it is worth it?"

You Minqiang obviously disagreed with Meng Zitao's point of view: "I can't say that, I've never heard that it takes so much money to repair a piece of jade." ”

Meng Zitao asked, "Mr. You, do you know several ways to repair jade?"

You Minqiang shook his head: "I don't know the specifics. ”

Meng Zitao said: "Then let me introduce it to you, and you will know that my price is not a loss." ”

Generally speaking, if someone breaks a piece of porcelain, eighty percent of them will be thrown away, but if a piece of jade is broken, nine percent of them will be left. However, what to do if the jade is damaged, I am afraid that this is a problem that people have had to face since the existence of jade.

For many, the first thought may be how to restore the jade. When it comes to jade restoration, there are many ways to restore it.

The first is fracture bonding, a simple analogy, glue the broken jade together, this kind of indication is generally after the jade is damaged, considering that the trimming of the two is not cost-effective, unsatisfactory, or can not be re-carved, then the bonding will be thought.

The general operation process of this bonding method is: first carefully clean the crack surface, and then evenly apply it with a high-efficiency adhesive, and then carefully align the original part, bond hard, squeeze out the crack adhesive, and then erase it with other reagents, and in the process of adhesive solidification, it is best to fix it with tape or press it with a heavy object to avoid dislocation.

However, jade repaired by gluing is not suitable for wearing, because it is easy to break again, and if the repair level is not high, it is very unsightly.

The second method is gold and jade inlay, which is a traditional craft, as a technique and is used in the restoration of jade, such as jadeite, white jade bracelets, which are originally smooth and round, and only when they are knocked and broken will there be a gold hoop wrapped on the ring.

Some damaged jade and jadeite ornaments can even be inlaid to the extent that they are perfectly delicate without revealing a single defect, and their scars and cracks are completely concealed by the gorgeous carved gold appearance and the uniform and harmonious combination of gold and jade.

However, this method also has disadvantages, one is that the cost is too high (generally more than 1,000 yuan), and it is easy to take off after a long time (especially inlaid with silver).

Moreover, specifically for You Minqiang's jade, the use of gold-inlaid schemes will definitely not work. (To be continued.) )
