Jinling Gold Foil Manufacturing Plant.

Li Yi stood in the shade of the tree in the square in front of the door, thinking about how to talk to Mr. Qin when he met him.

Official?

No, no, no.

Mr. Qin is a young man and can't be too official.

Playful?

No, no, no.

Li Yi rejected it over and over again, like a girl in a boudoir to be married.

Ten minutes later, a white car stopped at the edge of the square, and Qin Huai led Shang Ya to get out of the car.

Before Li Yi could decide what to say in the first sentence, he led his assistant forward to greet him.

……

"It's Mr. Qin Huai?"

Qin Huai: "......"

Why is this question so literate?

What a difficult question to answer......

Qin Huai paused, and quickly found a painting style that matched Li Yi.

"It's down there. ”

emmm,The style of painting is a little inexplicably ashamed.。

"Hahaha. What are you two doing? ”

Shang Ya smiled and leaned back.

Li Yi couldn't help laughing, Qin Huai's sentence 'exactly below' inexplicably poked and laughed.

It turns out that the legendary Qin Hezhou, whose name is Gai Jiangzuo, is very gentle and calm.

Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped being so anxious and restrained.

In the face of a phone call, Secretary Qi can order the five departments to immediately form a joint investigation team.

He's stressed.

Moreover, he is a technician himself, usually studies in the laboratory, and has a slight social phobia.

But it is not terrible to find Qin Huai in person, and he will even take care of his style of speaking.

"I ...... Take Mr. Qin to visit the gold leaf manufacturing process. Mr. Qin is really heroic...... Jian'an style ......"

Qin Huai smiled gently, and at Li Yi's invitation, he stepped on the steps.

The assistant next to him took the initiative to take the bag in his hand away.

"Thank you. ”

"Since I became famous, there have always been people who have changed words to praise me: Fengshen is handsome, talented and clear, there are furrows in the chest, there are Qiankun under the knife, the work is peerless, the elegance is peerless, and one person is against a Suzhou and Hangzhou city...... This time, there is another majestic and heroic hair, Jian'an style. Hahaha. ”

There are too many adjectives.

Qin, Fengshen Junlang, talented, high-spirited, clear, there are ravines in the chest, there is Qiankun under the knife, the work is peerless, the elegance is peerless, one person is the enemy of a Suzhou and Hangzhou city, Jian'an is a bone, the heroic posture is heroic, and the name covers Jiangzuo Huai.

There is nothing more highly praised by the world than this.

It shows that Mr. Qin is loved. ”

Li Yi gave a thumbs up.

Only handsome and talented people will be praised like this.

For example, Guangling is absolutely resounding Ji Kang.

For example, Zhou Yu, the god of fire in Chibi.

……

"Actually...... As early as half a year ago, Qin Hezhou was like thunder.

However, I am not good at interacting with people, and I am busy improving and researching new technologies.

Because gold foil is a mass-produced product, it has never participated in the China Arts and Crafts Fair.

For a variety of reasons...... Missed the acquaintance with Mr. Qin. ”

The gold foil paper is square and square, and can be mass-produced for thousands, tens of thousands, or even tens of millions.

It does not meet the standards of the China Arts and Crafts Fair at all.

So Li Yi has not participated in the expo.

"It's okay, we'll know each other sooner or later. ”

Qin Huai didn't care.

Follow Li Yi through a garden planted with tropical trees.

Enter the inside of the factory.

"Mr. Qin, you can enjoy our gold leaf manufacturing process here. ”

Hearing this, Qin Huai and Shang Ya were both bright-eyed, with a little expectation.

"It's a skill that has a global impact. ”

Qin Huai was in awe.

"Hey. The gold leaf we produce is now shining on some of the world's most important buildings. ”

Hearing Qin Huai's exaggeration, Li Yi immediately became energetic, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

"The local buildings in Jinling include Qixia Temple and Gusu Hanshan Temple......

Famous buildings such as Tiananmen Square, the Great Hall of the People, CCTV, the Summer Palace, and the Forbidden City are a little farther away......

Neighboring buildings include the Royal Palace of Thailand and the Osaka Archway......

Famous buildings in Europe and the United States, such as the National Parliament Center, Shakespeare's Opera House, churches, mosque domes, and numerous museums and palaces......"

Li Yi raised his head proudly, for these place names, he was already able to recite them backwards.

Professionalism at a glance!

In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that Jinling gold leaf is world-famous.

Qin Huai was full of praise.

……

"Mr. Qin, please take a look. This is our finished gold leaf. ”

Li Yi took out a piece of encapsulated gold foil paper, spread it in the palm of his hand, and showed it to Qin Huai and Shang Ya.

The square gold leaf is like a brilliant cloud brocade placed in the palm of the hand, which makes people look at the rich color.

As early as the 16th century, Marco Polo had a subtle description of the most luxurious gold and silver craftsmanship in the East.

Just the words made Europe boil at that time, and you can see how shocking the gold and silver skills were.

In front of them, Qin Huai and Shang Ya saw the real gold leaf craftsmanship.

Silent.

Silent.

Shang Ya held her breath, full of starry eyes, women really don't have the slightest resistance to glittering jewelry.

……

"The art of gold leaf can be traced back to the Southern Dynasty 1,700 years ago.

This technique uses gold bars as the main raw material, and after more than 10 special processes of processing and forging, it finally creates gold paper that is as soft as silk, as thin as cicada wings, and as light as a feather.

It is said to be as light as a feather because the weight of 10,000 sheets of gold leaf is less than 200 grams.

It is said to be as thin as a cicada's wing, because a piece of gold leaf is only 0.0012 mm thick. ”

Li Yi's eyebrows fluttered, and he picked up the gold foil paper vertically.

Thin!

It's ridiculously thin!

It's so thin that I don't know how to marvel.

"If a piece of gold leaf is only 0.0012 millimeters thick, then it would take 939 sheets of gold leaf to reach a millimeter thickness. Cicada wings aren't that thin. ”

Qin Huai shook his head, admiring even more.

Nine hundred and thirty-nine sheets of gold leaf paper stacked on top of each other are just one millimeter!

Terrible.

Li Yi glanced at Qin Huai in surprise.

Nine hundred and thirty-nine is a number often used by workers.

Outsiders won't know about it at all.

Did Qin Huai mentally calculate it just now?!

Shang Ya also noticed an anomaly.

It seems that Qin Huai's little brother reported an inexplicable number in an instant.

"Mr. Li, do you really need nine hundred and thirty-nine pieces of gold leaf to be enough for one millimeter?"

She turned her head and asked Li Yi.

"Yes. ”

Li Yi replied.

At the end of the inquiry, Shang Yaqiao's face was full of astonishment, and she looked at Qin Huai dumbfounded.

"You should know my numeracy skills, it's just basics. ”

Qin Huai waved his hand, as if it was a matter of course.

Insect carving skills.

Be not worth mentioning?

"That's right...... After all, it is a Qin nuclear boat gangster who only loses three grams. You have so many advantages that you have forgotten that you have a terrifying computing power!"

Shang Ya had a small expression on her face that you could go to heaven.

Qin Huai smiled and rubbed Shang Ya's head.

"We have more than a dozen processes in the manufacture of gold leaf. Including inverted strips, lower strips, leaf shooting, twisting, dipping twists, opening seeds, pretending to be a housekeeper, playing, producing, cutting foils, etc.

One of the most critical processes is 'playing'. This scene requires the cooperation of two highly skilled craftsmen to hammer a small golden leaf for six hours, a total of more than 30,000 times!"

Let's talk about it.

Mr. Li Yi pointed to the craftsmen who were playing not far away.

Over there.

Groups of artisans are sweating and lifting wooden hammers weighing up to nine kilograms, pounding small gold leaf.

This process is too difficult and obscure.

Qin Huai had no desire to try at all.

Shang Yafu sang with his wife, so naturally he didn't have the desire to try.

Li Yi understood.

led the two to the next process.

"Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin are invited here, and here is the finished gold leaf. The issuance can be exquisite!

A special tool – goose feathers – must be used, and the chosen goose feathers must also be the second or third on the wings of the old goose. Because these two goose feathers are covered with grease, they do not get wet or gold leaf, and the hairs on the edges of the goose feathers are soft and do not break the gold leaf.

This is a high demand for the tool.

After the gold leaf is successfully forged, it must be gently picked up with goose feathers while blowing.

The whole process has to hold your breath, and if you are not careful, the gold leaf will be cut. Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin, do you want to feel the difficulty of this process?"

Li Yi sent out the invitation.

This process is the most suitable for getting started compared to other processes.

But that doesn't mean it's less difficult, on the contrary, except for the masters, there is no layman who can pick up the gold leaf intact!
