Chapter 20 Invitation

Although the museum looks deserted, it is an extremely well-informed place, and a little thing can make a big splash, let alone a shocking thing like a repainting.

Not only the framing master, but also the appraiser and the staff, all of them talked about hearing that someone could repair the painting, and repeatedly pretended that something happened and passed by the door of the framing room.

Three hours is not a long time, but it can be a bit of a struggle for those who are eager to see the repaintings.

Fortunately, Luo Wen had a lot of things to ask Ji Yuan, so the two of them chatted on the chairs in the corridor outside the framed room, and Cui Shiyan was also listening, killing time.

The museum's framing room is quite large, and there is a large window for ventilation, so the environment is naturally in line with the requirements.

Zhao Zhuo to make up this painting is the work of a big family in the Song Dynasty, is the latest returned overseas Chinese donation, originally this painting was also placed in his hometown in the countryside for many years, has not been opened to see, the result has been tattered to the end, not only that, there are some traces of moth-eaten at the edge.

Zhao Zhuo slowly melted the ointment and applied it evenly to the calligraphy and painting, but the moth-eaten place was really unrepairable.

Mo Ling also lamented on the side: "If it is only weathered and broken, there is still a possibility of repair, but the place where the insect moth is perforated can only be lost forever." ”

Zhao Zhuo also nodded and sighed, many people put away the antiquities passed down from their ancestors, fantasizing that they would be able to appreciate after many years, but unfortunately when they took it out, they found that the calligraphy and painting had already been tattered, and in the end, it was only framed and preserved, but the value had been greatly discounted.

How many antiquities throughout the ages have been inadvertently destroyed in this way, so since Zhao Zhuo learned this repainting skill, he has long had the idea of repainting for the museum.

After all, there is a clear difference between museum collections and private collections, museum collections belong to the state, even if they are bought at a high price, not for their price, but for the continuation of these antiques that carry thousands of years of civilization, and most of the private collections will contain the factor of price, often reselling.

Therefore, being able to keep these paintings and calligraphy perfectly preserved is no longer something that can be measured by money.

Three hours finally passed, and the door of the framing room also opened, if it weren't for the three of them being in the way of their identities, I am afraid that they would have rushed in as soon as possible, but even so, the pace involuntarily accelerated.

Walking to the table in the room, when they saw the new painting and calligraphy that had just been painted, the three of them couldn't help but sigh at the same time, although there were some moth-eaten marks on the edge of the painting that seemed to be impossible to repair perfectly, but the other pictures had been repaired flawlessly, and there were almost no flaws in sight, especially the new ink, a breath of ancient charm came to the face, which made people can't help but be moved.

At this time, nothing mattered, only the aftermath of the shock explosion continued to spread in the hearts of the three people.

Ji Yuan even hooked his waist and lowered his head, looking down from above, not letting go of any place, and only after a long time did he raise his head and let out a long sigh: "China is so big, there are no wonders, this painting technique is like a good medicine for painting, it is really a blessing of calligraphy and painting." Speaking of this, he looked at Zhao Zhuo seriously and said, "Xiao Zhao, I don't know if you are willing to restore some calligraphy and paintings for my Baicheng Museum?" Of course, we can negotiate the price. ”

Cui Shiyan laughed: "I knew that Ji Lao, you didn't just want to see the repainting and run so far, it turned out that you had a plan for a long time." ”

Ji Yuan smiled slightly: "Framing is a very good process for keeping calligraphy and painting, but it is indeed a very helpless move, the framer with good craftsmanship can respect the original painting, and make up the color, but it is always regarded as a posterity, it is difficult to reach the point of perfection, and the framer with poor craftsmanship is even more likely to add snakes, but without mounting, it is difficult to preserve calligraphy and painting, which is really difficult to do both." ”

Speaking of this, he said with relief: "However, if there is this process of repairing the painting, it can protect the original state of the calligraphy and painting, then it is really an undesirable thing, I believe that Director Cui also has a consensus on this, right?" ”

Cui Shiyan laughed and said: "Of course, it's just that my junior brother can get one for free, but I can't give it all away." Senior brother, you can make a price, of course, Director Ji is rich, you can open higher, but my senior brother is really poor, you can't be too ruthless. ”

Seeing Cui Shiyan's pitiful look, Luo Wen shook his head and said: "I've seen you crying poor, I've never seen you crying poor like this, if it were me, I'd slaughter you to see how much oil and water I can slaughter." ”

Zhao Zhuo was a little hesitant, he didn't have the idea of making up paintings for the museum, but he knew better that the biggest difference between the repair and the framing was not the length of time, but whether the value of the painting and calligraphy could be preserved.

Ji Yuan saw him embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhao, if you have any requirements, you can mention them, although our museum is not big, we can try to meet everything we can." ”

Zhao Zhuo said: "I'm just worried that this repainting will affect the framing master in the museum?" ”

Ji Yuan originally thought that he was thinking about how much to charge, but he didn't expect that he was thinking about the framing master, and couldn't help but say with appreciation: "Xiao Zhao can think about others at a young age, it's really rare." Actually, you don't have to worry about this problem, this framing is not only for ancient paintings and calligraphy, modern paintings and calligraphy can also be used, and the framing masters in our museum are all paid a fixed salary, and the work is very heavy every month, you can reduce the workload for them, I think they have to thank you. ”

Cui Shiyan also laughed: "Director Ji is right, you don't need to worry about this question, Xiao Zhao." ”

Zhao Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, and after a little calculation, he said, "Then two hundred." ”

"How much, two...... Two hundred? Cui Shiyan's eyes widened when he heard this.

Ji Yuan also thought that he had misheard, but just looking at Cui Shiyan's expression, he knew that Zhao Zhuo's number was too far from what he thought.

Luo Wen couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Zhao, do you really want two hundred paintings?" The price...... It's too low......"

Cui Shiyan was extremely moved and said: "Senior brother, senior brother, I asked you not to be so ruthless, and I didn't let you suffer, although I don't know how much you charge for the bosses of the Zhongtian Club, but at least it's in 10,000 units." ”

Ji Yuan groaned slightly and said: "It seems that Xiao Zhao, you are in the way of these two elders' face is not good to open a high price, so let's do it, I will give you a price of five thousand pieces, what do you think?" ”

"Curator Ji, senior brother, in fact, I didn't suffer at all about the two hundred paintings." Zhao Zhuo shook his head and said.

"Senior brother, don't fool me, although I don't know what tools and materials you use to make up the paintings, but I dare to conclude that it is definitely not an ordinary thing, and its cost, two hundred, may not even be a fraction." Cui Shiyan said.

Indeed, because of the special material of the ointment, the cost is about 1,000 yuan. But by helping a merchant restore a painting, you can earn several times. And Zhao Zhuo also knew that the museum's funds were not abundant, and Senior Brother Cui was really good to himself, and he could repay him if he could do something for him, so he smiled faintly and said: "It is true that two hundred is not as expensive as the cost, but this calligraphy and painting carries the ancient civilization, and it is a merit to be able to repair and let it be passed on, for those bosses who make profits from it, I can charge a high fee, but for the museum, how can I use this painting technique to make money?" And, in this way, don't the two curators owe me a big favor? Calligraphy and painting are priceless, human affection is priceless, I also earned two hundred yuan for one piece, and the three said that I earned it? ”

After Zhao Zhuo finished speaking, the three of them were really stunned, they didn't expect the young man in front of him to think about things so thoughtfully, and the logic in his words was really irrefutable. looks stupid, and doesn't even make the money that should be earned, but what this reflects is a rare love. In this era, there are too many people who can make money, but there are very few people who can distinguish where to earn and where not to earn.

Ji Yuan couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said with admiration on his face: "No wonder such a magical skill will appear on you, a young man, just by virtue of this speech, with this generosity and righteousness, I, Ji Yuan, owe you a favor, if you encounter any difficulties in Baicheng in the future, just come to me!" ”

Zhao Zhuo waved his hand again and again and said modestly: "Compared to those who donate antiques worth millions of yuan to the country, what am I worth?" ”

Cui Shiyan patted Zhao Zhuo very helplessly, and said gratefully: "Senior brother, you are really hateful, they all say that money is easy to repay and favors are difficult to repay, you throw such a big favor to me, but it will make me insomnia." ”

Luo Wen scolded with a smile: "Okay, Lao Cui, you can get cheap, don't sell well, Xiao Zhao is not considerate of the difficulties of the museum." This meal, I think you have to invite us to a five-star restaurant! ”

Cui Shiyan laughed and said: "Ji Lao is tired of eating in a five-star restaurant, I think I still eat some special dishes of Huaihai City, hey, Lao Luo, I promise I haven't even eaten you." ”

Then, Cui Shiyan took the three of them to drive to a fishing row in the southern sea bend, these fishermen live by the sea, and the fishing row built by the sea is like a big food stall on the sea, floating on the sea, with a dozen small tables and dozens of large tables.

The seafood is taken straight from the sea and served in the pot, and the special spices that have been passed down for hundreds of years make it taste beautiful no matter how you make it.

On the shore in front of the fishing raft, there are barbecue stalls, on the grill there are tin foil packets full of oysters, buy a few packs and open them, immediately the aroma is compelling, and the size of these oysters can only be described as full, a bite down, the gravy splashes all over the mouth.

Zhao Zhuo has also been in Huaihai City for three years, and it is not that he has not eaten on the fishing raft, but it is the first time he has seen such a delicious place, and he only learned that Cui Shiyan is also the second time to come, this place is relatively remote, so few people know about it, but the flavor is authentic and unique.

Ji Yuan was even more full of praise for eating, and sighed that the things in the high-end restaurants were much more original than the taste.

The four of them ate happily, and the settlement was only about 300 yuan, which can be described as cheap and beautiful.

During the meal, Zhao Zhuo also discussed with Ji Yuan the time to go to Baicheng, so he put it after the treasure appraisal conference, and when he went, he happened to go to Bai Ming to get the jade carving.

After eating, Cui Shiyan drove Zhao Zhuo and Luo Luo to the school gate, and finally left with Ji Yuan.
