After Wen Chou checked the calligraphy and painting, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, he could repair a treasure, Wen Chou felt a sense of accomplishment, and it was like a doctor cured the patient. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Bring that one over and I'll see what the hell is. Wen Chou didn't want to rest at all, but planned to continue working, because he was already a little impatient, the first treasure is so precious, then the second one is even more exciting, maybe a more precious treasure.
Xu Haoming opened the box and took out a vermilion lacquerware, the moment he saw the lacquerware, Ye Fan and Wen Chou's eyes suddenly lit up, this is a good baby, very consumable materials, but also very test technology, in antiques, lacquerware belongs to the top grade, this piece of lacquer is the top grade of the top grade, the material is heavy, and the shape is very beautiful.
"This red double phoenix lotus tray is my father's favorite treasure, but unfortunately, the bottom is damaged, I have found a lot of experts, they all said that they could not be repaired after reading it, and even some experts in the capital only said that they could try it. Xu Minghao had a heavy look of disappointment on his face.
Lacquerware, especially the carved lacquer process, is a typical handicraft with expensive materials, the production technology is complex, the labor is huge, and the skill is difficult, for example, a real carved lacquer artwork needs to be brushed with at least 15 millimeters of lacquer in order to carve.
One millimeter is very thin, thin can be ignored, but one millimeter of lacquer needs to be painted seventeen times, this is the data that Ye Fan saw from the data, the lacquer used in ancient lacquerware is raw lacquer, cut out from the lacquer tree, the lacquer tree generally only grows in the primeval forest, you need to climb the mountain and wade to cut the lacquer, the quality of the lacquer cut out from ten o'clock in the morning to four o'clock in the afternoon on dog days is the best, the annual yield of a good lacquer tree is about half a catty, if you are lucky, you can reach one catty, and the knife edge of the lacquer cutting can not exceed ten knives.
Lacquer, when it is just harvested, is a milky white liquid, once it comes into contact with the air, it turns brown, and there is a saying that it is white and snowy, red like blood, and black like iron.
Xu Haoming took out this piece of lacquerware, using the carved lacquer process, is the most consuming lacquer lacquerware, painted on the metal tire, after molding, and then carved with a carving knife, a large amount of lacquer is wasted, the level of craftsmanship is also extremely high, once the mistake is made, the whole piece of lacquer is wasted.
According to Ye Fan's viewing, Xu Haoming took out this lacquerware, brushed more than 400 layers of lacquer on the metal tire, and the level of carving is extremely high, Ye Fan has seen a similar treasure, and the auction price was tens of millions, although this one in front of him is a little defective, but the price is absolutely shocking.
Wen Chou looked at it carefully and exclaimed: "Absolutely high-quality, the damage is not serious, but I am not very good at this, my senior brother is an expert in this area." "Wen Chou and Wen Qing are not omnipotent, everyone has their own strengths, such as lacquerware, which is Wen Qing's best.
Wen Chou also understands, but he is not so proficient, ordinary lacquerware, Wen Chou must be able to deal with it, but such a precious lacquerware, Wen Chou does not dare to do it easily, because he has no bottom in his heart.
Xu Haoming said to Wen Chou: "Old man, I know that this is very difficult, you need to touch up the paint, and then re-engrave, and you also need to use the same lacquer as this paint, if you are not sure, go and ask your senior brother, if it is far away, I can send my private helicopter to pick it up." ”
Local tyrants!
Absolute tyrants, all have their own private helicopters, you know, the price of helicopters is not particularly high, for tens of millions, or hundreds of millions of tyrants, the price is not a problem, the key is the route, which is not something that ordinary people can get.
"I don't need that, I can help him. Ye Fan smiled slightly, walked to Wen Chou's side, and whispered, "Are you okay with painting and carving?"
Wen Chou nodded and said: "This is all basic techniques, I have no problem, and I also have good lacquer, which can be used directly, what I can't tell now is how much lacquer this lacquer has been brushed, and what is the approximate thickness of each layer......"
Ye Fan's painting techniques and carving techniques, only theory, and will not modulate raw lacquer, these are all trivial to Wen Chou, making Wen Chou embarrassed data, for Ye Fan, this is a matter of glance, it's that simple.
"Four hundred and eighty-two floors in total. After Ye Fan glanced at it, he reported the number.
Wen Chou was frightened on the spot, how did Ye Fan know the number of layers? And Ye Fan just glanced at it, and he could draw conclusions? This is too strong, right?
"Hurry up and get started, don't worry, do what I say, there will be absolutely no problems. Ye Fan said very confidently, having a perspective eye is a bull fork, for others, unsolvable problems, Ye Fan only needs to glance at it and easily solve it.
Wen Chou glanced at Ye Fan deeply, although Ye Fan performed once in a while, he was able to grasp the key point every time, which was definitely a master-level level. Wen Chou arranged for Jiang Yue to take out the treasured lacquer, and when he opened the lid, Wen Chou said: "I suggest you all wear masks, or retreat some, the lacquer fragrance of the lacquer is very strong, I am worried that someone is allergic." ”
None of the people present retreated, this is a good opportunity to open their eyes, how can they easily let it go?
Wen Chou took a deep breath and opened the lid, a strong breath, a yogurt-like flavor spread out, slightly pungent, fortunately, none of the people present were allergic.
Ye Fan sniffed it, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, the better the lacquer, the more fragrant the taste, it can be seen that the lacquer taken out by Wen Chou is definitely the best of the best, and it is the most suitable for repairing this precious lacquerware.
Xu Haoming, who had some research on lacquerware, was already fidgeting excitedly at this time, and he already believed that the treasure he brought would definitely be repaired, and there was no trace of repair.
Wen Chou took the carving knife to repair the damaged place first, although the damage is not big, but Wen Chou's technique with the carving knife is very slow, almost a little rubbing, the process is very long, this treasure is too precious, Wen Chou try to control the cleaning strength, to avoid new damage, and when it will be repaired, you can also save some effort.
After cleaning up the damaged position, Wen Chou began to paint, using an extremely small brush, and the painting technique was also very skillful, after brushing for the first time, Wen Chou suddenly stopped and said: "Don't wait here, I need at least three days, by the way, Jiang Yue, you go and open the vent, and then bring the dryer in the box." ”
If it is naturally air-dried, more than 400 layers of lacquer, it is estimated that it will take a month, in order to save time, Wen Chou has his own special technique, specially made a dryer, and at the same time the humidity and temperature of the room must be grasped to speed up the drying speed of lacquer.
Ye Fan and the others decided to rest here, and arranged for Pan Qianqian to buy a few sleeping bags and lunch boxes to rest and watch on the spot.
For three days, Wen Chou only rested for three hours a day, and the rest of the time was busy, with Ye Fan assisting by his side.
On the morning of the fourth day, Wen Chou began to polish the lacquerware according to the original shape, just scraping down little by little, very slowly.
After all the work was completed, Wen Chou looked at the flawless work, smiled with relief, sat on the ground, beckoned to Xu Haoming, and said, "Come and see, are you still satisfied?" ”
Xu Haoming couldn't wait for a long time, and after getting Wen Chou's permission, he immediately walked over and checked it carefully, perfect, it was too perfect, Xu Haoming said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you so much, my father will definitely be very happy if he knows." ”
"It's good to be satisfied, I have to sleep, I'm too sleepy. Wen Chou yawned a lot, snot and tears almost flowed out, his drug addiction had not been completely cured, and his body was tired, and problems began to appear, Ye Fan hurriedly stepped forward to support Wen Chou, and then took Wen Chou to the next room and treated it with a silver needle.
Half an hour later, Ye Fan came out of the room and said with a smile: "Old Man Wen is too tired, and now that he has fallen asleep, don't disturb him." ”
Elore said to Ye Fan with a smile: "Ye Fan, I found that you are the real expert. ”
Xu Haoming, who was sorting out the antiques, stopped, gave Ye Fan a thumbs up, and exclaimed: "I can also see that although you didn't do much in the whole restoration process, you played the role of the finishing touch, and without deep skills, you will definitely not reach this level." ”
Ye Fan smiled slightly, and said modestly: "I'm just having a good time, I'll say a few words if I understand, and I'll watch if I don't understand." Okay, Mr. Xu, you can go back with your things. ”
"Call me Haoming, it's too raw to call Mr. Xu. Xu Haoming said with a smile, reached out and took out a check from his arms, handed it to Ye Fan, and said, "It's a small meaning, it's not a tribute." ”
Ye Fan didn't look at the check, and handed it to Eloel casually, after taking the check, Eloel looked down, and a trace of surprise flashed on her face, Xu Haoming actually gave one million.
"Mr. Xu, according to the contract we just signed, because this is our first business, it is free, this money is too much, we can't ask for it. Ellor hurriedly handed over the check.
"I feel that one million is less, these two treasures are one of my father's favorite treasures, which cannot be bought with money, you can take it, I think we should sign a long-term contract, because my father and I both like to collect, and it is inevitable that it will be damaged. Xu Haoming not only did not accept the check, but wrote a check for one million again, and then stuffed it into Elo's hand.
"This is an advance deposit, I hope we will have a good cooperation in the future. Xu Haoming said with a smile. "Take it, or I'll not be happy. ”
Ye Fan smiled and said to Elore: "Then accept it, we can give him a discount if we cooperate in the future." Ye Fan said, and then said to Xu Haoming: "Remember to help us publicize more." ”
