Red lacquerware originated in the Song Dynasty, but it was not until the Ming and Qing dynasties that it was really carried forward. Until now, you can occasionally see contemporary reddish lacquerware, but there are very few of them.

Mainly because very few people can really master this advanced craft.

The so-called carved lacquer refers to something carved out of lacquer.

The craftsmanship of carved lacquer is very complicated, and the production process of removing red is to first brush a red paint on the fetus, and then wait until the red paint is half dry, and then brush it on it.

After dozens of brushes repeatedly, the red paint will slowly turn into a kraft candy-like appearance and stick to the fetus.

Ancient lacquer, unlike modern lacquer, is pure lacquer. Modern paints, on the other hand, are diluted and neutralized, and are very easy to brush, and it is impossible to carve paint into works of art.

Ancient lacquer can be slowly brushed layer by layer, and after the brush is thick, it can be directly used as a raw material to carve what you want.

However, because the ancient lacquer is very viscous and cures quickly, when brushing, each layer needs to be mastered for their curing time, so that the lacquer cannot be completely hardened, and the lacquer cannot be too soft. And the more layers you paint, the shorter the time you need to master. Therefore, the number of layers of red lacquerware also shows the level of craftsmanship.

When each layer of paint is brushed, the heat must be in place, otherwise, the previous work will be wasted.

Generally speaking, it is already remarkable that red lacquerware can be painted with seventy or eighty layers of lacquer, and it is very rare to have more than 100 layers. If you can reach two hundred floors. It's definitely a masterpiece, and it's extremely valuable.

There are even more than 300 layers of red lacquerware that have been handed down to this day. It is the best of the best.

In addition to painting, the carving process of red lacquerware is actually the most difficult. Because the lacquer cures easily, it becomes very crisp when it dries, and it is impossible to carve with a knife. However, if it is too viscous, the lacquer will stick to the carving knife and will not be able to be carved.

In the whole process, there can be no slight error. Otherwise, it will be a failure.

The combination of these difficulties makes the completion of a red lacquerware a very difficult task.

Red lacquerware is very susceptible to breakage. It requires very careful care to always be able to show its best side. And the red lacquerware that has been handed down to this day can be preserved intact, and there are also very few.

Red lacquerware from the Ming Dynasty. It's the hottest time for red picking. It's also when the value is at its highest.

As soon as Wei Dong opened his mouth, he asked for red lacquerware before the middle of the Ming Dynasty, which was definitely not cheap. Especially although he didn't say it explicitly, it was impossible for Feng Weijing to bring the missing red-cut lacquerware to Wei Dong, it must be the best of the red-cut lacquerware, so that Wei Dong could be eye-catching!

Such a fine Ming Dynasty red lacquerware, without a few million, can't be taken down at all!

If you calculate it this way, in order to exchange for the red lacquerware in Wei Dong's hand. The price is too high to be cost-effective!

Kyoto bricks are no better. A piece is only hundreds of thousands, and the price is several times worse!

Yan Shuiran complained a little in her heart that Wei Dong deliberately opened her mouth, but Feng Weijing's eyes flashed, and he responded: "Then it's decided!" It's just a red box, and within a week, I promise to put it in your hand! ”

"Brother Feng!"

Yan Shuiran suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly pulled Feng Weijing.

Of course, she didn't pull Feng Weijing, who has a background in martial arts, but her little action, not only Feng Weijing felt it, but Wei Dong also saw it.

Feng Weijing was a little helpless, but his heart was warm.

He knew that Yan Shuiran was in a hurry because of him. Otherwise, with Yan Shuiran's steadiness in front of outsiders, he would not have made such a small move.

It's just that Yan Shuiran really doesn't understand the relationship between him and Wei Dong too much, so he cares about it.

Don't look at Wei Dong as if he is a sven nerd, he actually has a lively side.

Seeing that Yan Shuiran quietly pulled Feng Weijing, Wei Dong suddenly squeezed his eyebrows at Feng Weijing and said, "Yo, I almost forgot, you didn't come to the door alone this time, and you brought a beautiful girl!" See? Other girls are afraid that you will suffer, so they are in a hurry! ”

Yan Shuiran's face suddenly turned red.

She lowered her head, a little embarrassed, and a little afraid to look up.

I was so confused, I actually went to pull Feng Weijing's arm in front of Wei Dong!

Regardless of whether the barter deal between the two of them ends up or not, she shouldn't do it in the current situation!

Feng Weijing himself occasionally teased Yan Shuiran, but if others also laughed at Yan Shuiran, he didn't follow it.

Even if it's a friend, that's not good!

"You're embarrassed to know that I'm at a loss?" Feng Weijing glared at Wei Dong, and pulled Yan Shuiran to his side and snuggled up to him, "You cheat me, this is something that everyone can see!" Don't say it's the person I brought, even if outsiders stand here and see it, they will definitely be upset for me! ”

Now it was Wei Dong's turn to widen his eyes.

This Wei Jing ...... The skin is really getting thicker!

Even such blatant words can be spoken!

He was also in a mess for a while, and he even took the initiative to provoke Feng Weijing's people!

Yan Shuiran lowered her head and pursed her lips and snickered.

Feng Weijing pretended to be dissatisfied and looked at Wei Dong: "Okay, I have agreed to your request, hurry up and take us to see the Beijing bricks you treat as a treasure!" Today, I have to take one of these bricks! ”

Wei Dong stopped doing it: "I said that I would barter things, if you want to take away my Beijing bricks, you can first bring the red box that you said will say!" ”

Feng Weijing frowned: "You just made this request, how can I give it to you for a while?" You give me the Beijing bricks first, then remove the red box, I will not miss you! ”

Wei Dong still hummed and chirped.

Feng Weijing's brows furrowed even tighter: "You can't even trust me?" You said to yourself, what I promised you, when did I pay the bill? ”

Wei Dong pondered.

In retrospect, it seems that there really isn't.

Although Feng Weijing is a big profiteer, he always likes to rob his treasures, but when it comes to bad things and bad debts, Feng Weijing has never done it.

Otherwise, I will believe in him once?

Forgive him for not being able to do that lack of virtue!

Wei Dong looked Feng Weijing up and down, and finally nodded heavily!

Feng Weijing was suddenly overjoyed, and he didn't want Wei Dong to lead the way, so he directly pushed him away, pulled Yan Shuiran into the house. (To be continued......)
