Chapter 151: Make-up Lessons
Picked up a big leak, this antique market didn't need to be visited, Meng Zitao casually stuffed the necklace into his jacket pocket, and went with the army to buy some breakfast and bring it back to the store.
As soon as the army put down breakfast, the two were about to eat, and Zheng Yaxin rushed in with Song Yiming.
Seeing that the army was actually here in Meng Zitao, Song Yiming was very surprised: "Hey, Brother Dajun, why are you here?"
Zheng Yaxin also showed the same expression: "Yes, my cousin doesn't want you?"
Dajun said with a smile: "It was Shu Shao who asked me to follow Meng Shao." ”
"What's going on?" Zheng Yaxin asked curiously.
"Children, don't ask too much about adults. Meng Zitao said with a smile.
Zheng Yaxin crossed her hands on her hips and said very dissatisfiedly: "What, this girl is sixteen years old, and she has already married and had children in ancient times, you actually say that I am a child?"
Meng Zitao smiled: "You also know that you are talking about ancient times, now, you should go to school honestly." ”
Zheng Yaxin's eyes widened: "You don't say it!"
Meng Zitao now also understands Zheng Yaxin's character, and knows that at this time, it is better to follow her wishes, and said: "Okay, okay, tell you that it's always okay......"
After listening to Meng Zitao's story, Zheng Yaxin said with some righteous indignation: "That Bu Xinzhi is really full and has nothing to do, if you want me to say, this kind of guy will be honest after a few beatings." ”
Song Yiming said: "My aunt said that girls should be reserved, don't always think about fighting and killing. ”
Zheng Yaxin turned her head and glared angrily: "If you mention her to me next time, I will definitely beat you!"
Meng Zitao shook his head secretly, in the process of chatting with Shu Ze in Jinling. He learned about Zheng Yaxin's parents.
Zheng Yaxin's father, Zheng Xingxu, worked in the cultural sector and held a high position. The work is busy. Her mother, Wen Ting, runs a large company, because she likes to do everything herself. It's even more busy, and it doesn't touch the ground.
Although Zheng Xingxu is busy with work, when he is in the capital, he accompanies his daughter whenever he has a holiday, but Wen Ting is busy at work for three days, and the longest time in a year is only a few days during the Spring Festival.
I haven't felt much maternal love since I was a child, Zheng Yaxin's attitude towards her mother can also be imagined, and there is a lyric that says that no mother is like a grass. The reason why Zheng Yaxin's current character has become like this has a lot to do with this.
In addition, Shu Ze also said that in fact, Zheng Yaxin's personality was not like this in the first two years, but it was only because of her grandmother's aggravation that there was such a change, and now it has become what it is now.
When Meng Zitao heard this, he felt that the reason why Zheng Yaxin had such a change may also be a kind of protection for his inner weakness.
Song Yiming shrunk his neck. Not daring to speak, Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Okay, let's have breakfast first." By the way, why are you two stuck so accurately every time you get stuck?"
Zheng Yaxin's expression changed immediately. Giggled: "That's this girl's clever plan!"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and quickly grabbed a roasted wheat not far away.
"Smack!" Meng Zitao quickly opened her hand. He said, "Go wash your hands first, don't you know how dirty those antiques are on the stalls?"
Zheng Yaxin said with some dissatisfaction: "You are a big man. Why are you such a mother-in-law?"
Meng Zitao smiled: "Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't wash it." However, I only know that some of the bronze vessels were made of dung and urine. ”
Zheng Yaxin said angrily: "You lied to people, how could anyone use such a disgusting method to make the old?"
The old god Meng Zitao said: "Why am I lying to you about this? If you don't believe it, can't you check it on the Internet to know if there is one?"
As soon as Meng Zitao's words fell, Zheng Yaxin ran to the bathroom with a swoop, and Song Yiming followed closely behind.
After a while, Zheng Yaxin came out of the bathroom and said loudly: "Where is your computer, open it and show me!"
Meng Zitao spread his hands: "I don't have a computer." ”
Zheng Yaxin said with some disdain: "I said Brother Meng, you won't be so old-fashioned, such a big store doesn't even deserve a computer?"
Meng Zitao smiled: "Isn't it temporarily unnecessary, since you mentioned it, then I'll go and match one tomorrow." ”
Speaking of which, in the past, Meng Zitao generally took a book to read, and if necessary, he took his mobile phone out to check it, and it was nothing if he didn't have a computer. Now when I hear Zheng Yaxin mention it, I feel a little moved in my heart, after all, it is undoubtedly a lot more convenient to have a computer.
"How can you let me check if you don't have a computer, or are you lying?" Zheng Yaxin looked at Meng Zitao with some suspicion, after all, this method of falsification is too disgusting, and it makes people feel a little incredible when they think about it.
Meng Zitao smiled: "Since you don't believe it so much, when Yiming comes, I will make up some basic knowledge for you." ”
Zheng Yaxin shouted loudly: "Song Yiming, come out for me!"
"What's the matter?" Song Yiming walked out quickly.
"Brother Meng said that he wanted to make up the basic knowledge for us. Zheng Yaxin said.
Song Yiming was very interested when he heard this, and hurriedly sat down as if he was in class.
"Let's talk while eating, things don't taste good when they're cold. ”
Meng Zitao let everyone eat first, and then said: "Generally speaking, the rust on the bronzes unearthed in the north and south is not the same, mainly because the south is mostly humid and alkaline soil, so the rust color of the unearthed bronzes is mostly black, which is called 'puddle rust' or 'black lacquer ancient'." ”
"The bronzes unearthed in the arid areas of the north generally produce red spots and green rust, which are called 'dry pits'. Many counterfeiters are taking advantage of this regional characteristic to make rust color. ”
"There are many methods of counterfeiting on the market now, and the simpler ones are to use chemical solutions or soak them in human and animal feces. ”
Zheng Yaxin raised her hand and asked, "What is the principle of using these two methods?"
Meng Zitao said: "I just said the environment in the south, with the chemistry you are learning now, it should not be difficult to understand, they do this to speed up the progress of corrosion, of course, generally have to be buried in the ground for three or four months or even half a year before the rust color will grow." ”
Zheng Yaxin asked again: "Then what else is there to do?"
Mencius Tao talked eloquently: "There is also a common method, the rust color is made by smearing and adhesion, so the rust made is mostly manifested as rust shallow floating, pink green, no hardness, easy to fall off, or wet and sticky. This rust generally has a pungent smell. This method is generally easy to identify. ”
"In addition to these two methods, which are relatively simple to implement, there is also the electrolysis method, which uses high-voltage equipment and other methods to create a rust color, which is easy to get into the eye if you are not careful......
Next, Meng Zitao told the two of them about the method of identification, and Meng Zitao didn't expect them to learn and use it, but just hoped that they would be less eye-catching.
"Brother Meng, how about you take a look at my two little bears?" Zheng Yaxin picked up a plastic bag from the chair next to him, and took out two bronze bears from the plastic bag through the plastic bag.
Meng Zitao looked at it and said with a smile: "You have to wait until I finish breakfast." ”
Zheng Yaxin smiled: "Then let's talk about it after eating." ”
Sweeping away the breakfast on the table, Meng Zitao said to the army: "Army, you only ate so much just now, go eat a little more." Don't say you're full, people won't believe you when you say it. ”
The army smiled sheepishly and walked out.
Zheng Yaxin said: "Okay, Brother Meng, it's always convenient for you now, right?"
Meng Zitao picked up the two copper bears and looked at them, this is a pair of bear-shaped Xi Zhen, at first glance, the copper bear is strong, cute and cute, the bear's mouth is wide open, it is like a big laugh, the expression is vivid, very cute, but if you look closely, Meng Zitao almost laughed out loud.
"This maker is also a 'master'. Meng Zitao said with a smile.
"Huh, is it true?"
Zheng Yaxin's expression was happy, and she turned her head and said triumphantly to Song Yiming, "Now you have nothing to say, right?"
Meng Zitao asked, "Yiming, do you think there is a problem?"
Song Yiming nodded honestly: "I think they look a little familiar, and I don't think something is right." ”
Meng Zitao covered the position of the bear's mouth with his hand and said, "Is it familiar now?"
The brother and sister were stunned for a moment, and Song Yiming said stupidly: "It's really like a teddy bear." ”
Zheng Yaxin said loudly: "What teddy bear, it's obviously just similar, besides, maybe it's the prototype of Teddy?"
Meng Zitao smiled and said, "So, do you believe it yourself?"
Zheng Yaxin was speechless, and after a while, she spoke: "There are a lot of coincidences in this world, besides, the truth of things can't be determined by this alone, right? ”
Meng Zitao picked up the copper bear and pointed out a few problematic places above: "What do you think of these places?"
Zheng Yaxin looked very depressed after reading it: "But why do I think it's natural!"
Meng Zitao said: "This is because some people bury the imitations that have been processed by the methods mentioned above and bury them in the ground together with the tomb soil in the tomb, and then plant some plants with roots on them, and after three to five years, the plants will grow on the imitations, and then they can be taken out again." ”
"In addition, these two imitations of yours are heirlooms, generally this kind of thing, some people have played directly in their hands for a few years, but the cost of doing so is a bit large, and your pair of copper bears can't enjoy such treatment. In addition, it is to take them to the homes of ordinary people in the countryside and accept the natural smoke and fire, so that they will slowly become old, and they will become the appearance of this pair of copper bears. ”
"Badass, badass! I'm really angry!" Listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, Zheng Yaxin was so angry that she picked up the copper bear and was about to smash it.
Meng Zitao hurriedly stood up and stopped Zheng Yaxin's movements, saying, "This is actually a good job for the copper bear, deal with it, you can keep it as a souvenir, why throw it away?"
"Hmph, I don't want to make a fake in such a disgusting way, you want to keep it. ”
Zheng Yaxin snorted coldly, and at this time, she happened to see Meng Zitao's jacket pocket, and said curiously: "Hey, Brother Meng, what is in your pocket?" )
