Chapter 1310: Tung Oil

Seeing this jar, not only Qin Lianshan, but even the shopkeeper and the old shopkeeper standing in the store all gathered around and looked at this jar curiously. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Look at this tire is quite thin, a bit like pottery, but this bag of glaze looks a little strange, what is this?"

Qin Lianshan took out a magnifying glass and looked up and down around the jar, and then wandered around the jar for a long time, knocking and knocking with his hand, but he couldn't see the fame.

He stood up straight, his face showed a look of disappointment, he felt that this thing black pottery was not like black pottery, porcelain was not like porcelain, it looked like an old imitation, and he didn't know what Huo Sining bought it for, I'm afraid it was an eye-catcher.

Qin Lianshan had never seen the real two-Jin purple pottery, and the outer layer of the jar in Huo Sining's hand was smeared with a thick layer of black grease, which did not match the legendary purple pottery's "thin as paper, purple as transparent" characteristics.

"Purple Ruo Transparent" does not refer to the purple of the purple pottery itself, but refers to the purple halo around the purple pottery under the light, as if it is going to be revealed.

However, the light in this shop is relatively dim, and this purple pottery is not so porcelain because of the dirt staining, so it looks dull, and it is really difficult to see the problem with the naked eye.

When the old man saw Qin Lianshan's expression, he knew that he couldn't see this thing, so he couldn't help but laugh a few times, turned his head to Huo Sining, and asked, "Little girl, you don't mind if I clean it for you, right?"

Huo Sining looked at the old man with some surprise, and saw that he had a determined look, knowing that he had seen that there was something smeared on the jar, so he nodded and said, "The old gentleman is willing to do it for him, so naturally he can't ask for it." ”

With Huo Sining's consent, the old man was not ambiguous, and turned around and said to the old shopkeeper in the store: "Shopkeeper Yu, do you have tung oil and clean white gauze here?" ”

"Tung oil?"

Qin Lianshan was stunned, tung oil is generally smeared on wooden furniture to maintain furniture, what is Lao Bai going to do with tung oil?

The old shopkeeper's face also showed a look of doubt, he has been immersed in the ceramic industry for decades, and has not heard of cleaning ceramics with tung oil, but Bai Lao said so, there must be his reason, the shopkeeper did not dare to ask more, and hurriedly went down to prepare tung oil and gauze.

Tung oil is the oil extracted from the seeds of the tung tree, the tung tree has a long history of cultivation in China, as early as more than 1,000 years ago in the Tang Dynasty has been recorded, in the Yuan Dynasty through the Italian Marco Polo brought overseas for cultivation.

Tung oil has a clear and transparent appearance, dries quickly when applied to wooden items, and is also resistant to high temperature corrosion.

In ancient times, tung oil was used in many places, and furniture, boats, and buildings were used as a good remedy for the maintenance of wooden items before the production of paint.

Antiques and ordinary things are precious, and the dirt covered on them cannot be disposed of casually, and the substances covered on it must be specifically detected and a special formula can be prepared to clean up.

Huo Sining only knew that the purple pottery she bought was covered with a layer of black dirt, but she didn't know what those dirts were, and it was more troublesome to deal with.

But as soon as the old man surnamed Bai said it, Huo Sining knew what he wanted to do.

However, it was the first time she knew that tung oil could also be used to maintain ceramics, which made Huo Sining very curious.

The group was waiting here, and it took more than ten minutes for the shopkeeper Yu to run back panting.

He carried a small bowl in his hand, and a thick stack of white gauze hanging from his shoulder, and as soon as he ran into the room, he put things on the table in one go, and sneered:

"Bai Lao, I've kept you waiting. We don't usually store this thing in this store, so I borrowed it from the furniture store across the street. ”

This is true, most furniture stores will store some tung oil for backup, but there is definitely no such thing as a ceramic shop.

Although the tung oil is transparent, there are many impurities in it, and it is obviously inferior tung oil.

Seeing the tung oil, Bai Lao's brows furrowed, but there was no way, this tung oil was also finally obtained.

The conditions are limited, so he doesn't pay attention to those, and then instructed the shopkeeper Yu: "Shopkeeper Yu, please take two more big bowls and take a bottle of water." ”

After taking the things, Bai Lao folded the gauze into three layers and covered the mouth of the bowl, and slowly poured the small bowl of tung oil on the gauze.

The tung oil soaked through the gauze and dripped into the bowl, leaving a thick layer of impurities on the gauze.

It took two or three times to filter it like this to clean up the impurities in this small bowl of tung oil.

After the tung oil was filtered, Bai Lao poured a bottle of mineral water into another clean bowl, then poured the filtered tung oil into about a spoonful, took a chopstick and kept stirring it in the bowl clockwise.

According to chemical principles, oil is insoluble in water, but with the stirring of Bai Lao, tung oil, which was originally like egg white, dissolved into water at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded.

Even Qin Lianshan was surprised, it was the first time he knew that tung oil could be configured with such a secret recipe.

After the tung oil and water were mixed, the old man soaked the clean gauze into it, and when the gauze was soaked, the old shopkeeper who followed Bai Lao's instructions to clean the black clay jar also took the jar back.

Although the jar has been cleaned, the black dirt around the body has not been washed away by the water, and it still looks dull and inconspicuous.

This person who used the fog concealment method skillfully smeared a layer of black oil on the surface of the pottery, which looked like a layer of dirt formed by the oxidation of the pottery itself after the erosion of time, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see the problem.

This is due to the characteristics of the pottery itself, like porcelain, after a long time, the glaze will be slightly yellowed.

In the same way, after the erosion of pottery over time, a layer of material will form on the surface, making its surface dusty and dull.

After taking the dry gauze and drying the pottery, Bai Lao reached out and took out the gauze soaked in the tung oil bowl, and then carefully began to wipe the purple pottery around the body with the gauze dipped in tung oil water.

After every part of the clay pot was evenly coated with tung oil water, Bai Lao immediately took a piece of clean gauze and rubbed it vigorously on the jar.

The onlookers stared at Bai Lao's movements without blinking, and soon everyone's mouths opened wide in surprise.

As Bai Lao wiped it vigorously, a thick layer of black dirt quickly wiped out on the clean gauze.

And in the part where the dirt was wiped off from the clay pot, a deep purple color appeared in front of everyone's eyes. (To be continued.) )
