Although Meng Hongchang didn't understand why Meng Zitao liked such a thing, he didn't ask much, and said, "No problem." ”

The two discussed, quickly changed their positions, and then picked up the things in front of them and pretended to be appreciative.

It was also Meng Zitao's luck, as soon as the two of them made a move, Li Shijiang ran back sweating profusely, panting and said, "Meng ...... Shopkeeper Meng, I've kept you waiting. ”

Meng Zitao turned around and said, "Shopkeeper Li, you can rest first, we are not in a hurry." ”

"You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry!"

Li Shijiang muttered to himself, and said with a smile: "It's okay, exercising is also good for your health." Shopkeeper Meng, the things are here, please come and take a look. ”

When Meng Zitao walked back to his original position, he saw the Tianhuang ornaments brought by Li Shijiang.

This ornament is made of good material, smooth and shiny, cleverly using the characteristics of the stone, and the whole body is carved with a round figure landscape. Its carving is divine, the knife technique is exquisite, the outline is powerful, the carved figures, landscapes, trees, the carved scenes are leisurely, calm and harmonious, it is indeed a rare Qing Dynasty Tianhuang work.

After Meng Zitao looked at it carefully, he said: "I like this Tianhuang ornament more, please ask Shopkeeper Li to make a price." ”

Li Shijiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Even if it's a million, what?"

Meng Zitao said: "The material of this ornament is okay, but it is not very good, the price of one million is a bit expensive, I think 800,000 is still more appropriate." ”

Meng Zitao's price was actually quite reasonable, but Li Shijiang of course the more the better, so the two bargained, because Li Shijiang begged Meng Zitao's head, and finally had to agree to the price of 880,000 proposed by Meng Zitao.

For the rest of the part, Li Shijiang can only settle it in cash, which makes him very painful, but he is still quite happy to think that it will not be long before he can earn millions of dollars.

Before completing the transaction, Li Shijiang carefully admired the painting, and in the end, although there were still some small bumps in the two places pointed out by Meng Zitao, on the whole, he was quite satisfied with the painting, and he believed that even if the painting was problematic, he could sell the painting.

Li Shijiang said: "Meng shopkeeper, I think it's okay to paint ≮dǐng ≮diǎn ≮ small ≮ said, .2≈3.o+s_ (); Shall we go transfer the money now?"

"Yes, Brother Hongchang, let's go. Meng Zitao shouted to Meng Hongchang, who was already ready not far away.

"It's coming. Meng Hongchang walked back with the bowl utensils that Meng Zitao said just now. ”

Meng Zitao pretended to be surprised and asked, "What did you go up and take?"

Li Shijiang noticed the thing in Meng Hongchang's hand, and also felt very strange, how could Meng Hongchang choose such a thing, and he didn't have any impression of this thing in his mind.

Meng Hongchang smiled: "Hehe, I think it feels good, and I want to take it back to play." ”

"Show me?"

"Give. ”

Meng Zitao said speechlessly: "Brother Hongchang, I said that although you have just entered the industry, you must always take care of the rules, how can you hand it to me directly?"

Meng Hongchang said indifferently: "It's just such a thing, and it's not worth much." ”

Meng Zitao said: "You can't say that, you should know that habit becomes a natural truth, besides, if you think it's worthless, it's really going to break, then it's not necessarily." Shopkeeper Li, I don't mean anything else. ”

Li Shijiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, shopkeeper Meng, what you said is right, if something really goes wrong, it will be unclear when the time comes." ”

"It's a nuisance. Meng Hongchang muttered, and then put the things on the table.

Meng Zitao looked at the things and put them back.

"What do you think, isn't it?" Meng Hongchang asked.

Meng Zitao waved his hand: "It's good if you like it." ”

Meng Hongchang said: "Of course, if it weren't for my liking, what would I want it for?"

Li Shijiang waved his hand: "Hey, it's not a valuable thing, I'll give it to you." ”

Meng Hongchang shook his head and said: "This is not good, if it is a baby, who will it be then?" Okay, even if it is a hundred yuan, you can take it!"

"If this thing is a baby, my surname is written upside down!"

Li Shijiang muttered in his heart, secretly scolded Meng Hongchang for being stupid, and said, "Oh, how embarrassing this is!"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Li, you can take the money, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable." ”

"Okay, you're welcome. Li Shijiang put the money away.

Next, the three of them went to the bank together to transfer the money and separated.

Watching Meng Zitao and them go away, Li Shijiang remembered the scene just now, and always felt that something was wrong, as if there was a trick he had just done to deal with the young man who bought the sword.

"I guess I'm thinking too much......"

Before leaving, Meng Zitao and the others went to say goodbye to the shopkeeper Zeng, and when the shopkeeper learned that Li Shijiang had indeed bought the painting, it was really happy.

got into the car, Meng Zitao returned the money to Meng Hongchang.

"I said Zitao, isn't it just a hundred yuan, as for it?" Meng Hongchang excused.

"If you give it to you, you can take it, and our brothers will settle the score. Meng Zitao forced the money to Meng Hongchang.

"You kid. Meng Hongchang didn't say anything, and then asked curiously, "Zitao, what is this thing?"

Meng Zitao said: "It is probably a golden bowl." ”

"Is the golden bowl still rusty?" Meng Hongchang was very surprised.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "If in daily life, of course, gold objects cannot have such rust, but in the funerary utensils, in addition to gold objects, there are often bronze objects and other items, which are easier to corrode than gold objects, so they often stain the gold objects in the same tomb with patina, rust, etc. If I'm correct, this should be the case with this golden bowl. ”

"Then how do you judge that it is a golden bowl?" Meng Hongchang asked curiously.

"Look at the rim...... yes, that's it, see?"

After Meng Zitao's fingers, Meng Hongchang found a place on the bowl that was not covered with rust, but it was a small gap that few people could notice.

Meng Hongchang was a little dumbfounded: "Oh my God, how long are your eyes, you can actually see such a place." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "It's just luck, plus my eyes are better, so I accidentally saw it." ”

Meng Hongchang opened his mouth and said, "Yes, I have nothing to say." By the way, if this is really a golden bowl, how can this rust be removed?"

Meng Zitao said: "You should know that gold is very resistant to corrosion, and it reacts chemically with other substances, and only the extremely corrosive aqua regia can dissolve gold. I have seen in the information given to me by my master that the oxidant hydrogen peroxide is used, and other appropriate additives are added. It effectively removes rust and leaves gold jewellery unscathed. ”

"So in general, there are a variety of cleaning methods for goldsmiths, and different cleaning formulas can be used to clean them according to the specific situation. ”

"For the calcareous rust shell on the surface of the gold, dilute nitric acid is generally used to remove the rust shell. If it is organic dirt, such as oil stains, etc., it can be removed by soaking in sodium hydroxide solution. In addition, the commonly used gold cleaning agents include organic solvents, alcohol, benzene and acetone, as well as neutral surfactants, ammonia, etc. ”

"Anyway, it's just a specific problem, I haven't carefully observed the rust on the surface of this bowl, and I don't know what the rust is, so I don't know what solvent to use. ”

Meng Hongchang said, "Then when you clean the bowl, you must ask me to come over and take a look." ”

"No problem......"

There was nothing to do all the way, Meng Zitao sent Meng Hongchang to the door of the auction company, and was ready to go back to clean the golden bowl.

"Okay, then I'll go up and hand in first. ”

"Good...... Hey, wait, this one is for you. ”

"What's that?"

"Didn't the shopkeeper give me five pieces of flowers and give you two. ”

"Hey, what do I want this thing for?"

"Stupid, you won't give it to your Xiaoyun?"

Meng Zitao said: "Don't underestimate this flower, its material is still good, if you encounter it in the future, if the price is cheap, you can also buy some." ”

Meng Hongchang took the flower piece and looked at it: "Hey, it doesn't seem to have a good texture." By the way, what the hell is this flower?"

Meng Zitao said speechlessly: "I'm dizzy, I've been making trouble for a long time, you don't even know what the flower is?"

Meng Hongchang smiled a little embarrassedly: "Hehe, I really haven't had much contact with the knowledge of porcelain and jade that I mainly learn now." ”

"Well, let me tell you. ”

Meng Zitao explained: "The flower pieces are actually the ornaments sewn on the placket of women's blouses in ancient times, because in order to reduce the weight of the flower pieces, most of the flower pieces are carved by the process of carving. ”

"Of course, in addition to the weight, another reason is that the ladies and ladies of the upper class who decorate the clothes with floral pieces are all upper-class ladies, so the requirements for jade quality are relatively high. However, there is no need to use large materials of finished materials, so use more scraps with good texture but many flaws, and use the way of carving to remove the flaws, which can also reflect the special diǎn of jade. In addition, the price of this kind of thing is not high now, so you can collect it when you meet it. ”

Meng Hongchang said: "According to what you say, things like flowers can indeed be used as a target for a working-class like me." By the way, why is this piece of flower not carved, and the texture is pure, the fat is very high, and there are no flaws, although it is Khotanese green jade, but it is not bad. ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "This is not simple, it means that it is not made of ordinary scraps, it may be the owner at that time, and its status is relatively high." ”

Meng Hongchang asked, "Then what are you doing for me?" You can give it to my younger siblings. ”

Meng Zitao picked up a piece of flower and said, "Don't worry, I don't have another piece." I'll teach you a trick, you can turn around and set a gemstone like tourmaline in the center hole, and then add a platinum card ring, which is a very noble and elegant jewelry, and she must be very happy to give it to Xiaoyun as a gift at that time. ”

"Yes, if you really have you, then you're welcome. Meng Hongchang said with a smile.

"Originally, I had a share, so I'll go first and go to Shanghai tomorrow. ”

"Be careful ...... on the road"

Meng Zitao originally planned to go back and deal with the rust on the golden bowl, but on the way, he thought that the rust on the golden bowl was too thick, and it was not a matter of time and a half to clean it up.

called Wang Zhixuan, and Wang Zhixuan said on the phone that he had arrived home, so Meng Zitao immediately changed direction and drove to Wang Zhixuan's house.

Meng Zitao came to Wang Zhixuan's house and found that Cheng Qiheng was also here, which is also normal, the two will get married next month, so the movement between the two families has been relatively frequent recently.

Speaking of which, because of the matter of Cheng Qiheng's female classmate, the marriage between the two fell through, and during that time, the two families who made trouble were "chickens flying and dogs jumping", and the wedding originally scheduled for May 1 was also postponed.

Fortunately, with the help of Meng Zitao later, Cheng Qiheng himself was also angry, and now he has reconciled with Wang Menghan. Originally, they still wanted to hold a wedding on May Day, but in just a few days, the original position had been given to someone else.

Of course, with the connections of the two families, it is no problem to find a suitable hotel, but Wang Zhixuan said that the date of the wedding will simply be postponed to the 10th, which will also make Cheng Qiheng remember for a long time, and stop messing around in the future.

Although such a decision made Cheng Qiheng a little embarrassed, the parents on both sides felt that the idea was good, so they made up their minds.

Because of Jiang Siyuan's matter, Wang Zhixuan's whole person lost a lot of weight, which made Meng Zitao a little worried, but fortunately, during this time, Wang Zhixuan's spirit was good, which also made him feel a little relieved.

After greeting everyone and chatting a few words, Meng Zitao said what he meant, and Wang Zhixuan hurriedly asked Meng Zitao to take out the things.

When Wang Zhixuan looked at the golden bowl carefully, Meng Zitao told Cheng Qiheng about the origin of the things.

Cheng Qiheng said with a smile: "Yes, I picked up the leak again, and I picked up two of them, I think the leakage is simply a parent's meal for you." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand: "It's completely lucky." ”

Cheng Qiheng gritted his teeth and said: "Do you know, every time I hear you say this, I think you are special, can't you kid say that you have good eyesight!"

Wang Menghan agreed: "That's it, it seems that luck will come to you!"

Meng Zitao spread his hands: "But what I said is the truth." ”

"You kid still said, beat him!"

"Haha......"

Everyone laughed for a while, Wang Zhixuan also looked at the gold bowl, and said: "The rust is very likely to be caused by the contact reaction of silver and bronze in the tomb and other substances in the tomb, and the deposition on the surface of the gold. ”

"If it's really copper sulfide, silver sulfide and so on, it's a bit of a problem, because they're all extremely insoluble. As a result, it is difficult for general cleaning agents to remove these sulfides. (To be continued.) )
