After the meeting dispersed, Jiang Yichen closed the door of the room, pulled open the crimson flannel covering the big clams on the west wall, and slowly admired this shell carving work full of spirituality and vitality.

I really didn't expect that the undersea killer who almost killed himself at the beginning has now become such a beautiful work of art, and it will be placed in the town of the handicraft store for countless people to admire, which can be regarded as a deserved.

However, at present, I am shy in my pocket, and I can't arrange this matter.

He has already considered that the profit of this month's Koufu multi-mille-feuille cake will first be used to repay Wu Damiang's loan plus interest and the preparatory funds for the new store in Dingxiangyuan, as for the handicraft shop, its importance obviously cannot be compared with the previous one, so it can only be ranked in the back.

Bang bang, bang, knock on the door.

"Please come in." Jiang Yichen woke up from his thoughts and responded.

The door was pushed open, and Su Xiaojia, who was dressed in white overalls, walked in with a small plastic basin in her hand. When I saw him, I nodded and smiled slightly, which was a greeting.

"Xiaojia, what are you going to do?" Jiang Yichen asked.

Su Xiaojia put the basin on the countertop, circled the thumb and index finger of her right hand, and then made a cleaning gesture. Then he walked to the iron cabinet, took the key to open the door, and took out a large wooden box from inside.

Jiang Yichen knew the big wooden box and figured it out, she meant to clean the pearls.

"Oh, haven't you kept these pearls in a box all the time, and they haven't stuck to the dust, what are you washing them for?" He asked curiously.

The wooden box is closed, and the inside is padded with flannel, and the beads are waiting in it, and there is nothing to toss or about.

Su Xiaojia shook her head, turned on the desktop lamp, took the pen and paper, and gave Jiang Yichen a literacy.

It turns out that the main ingredient of pearls is calcium carbonate containing organic matter, which has a very low surface hardness and is easy to scratch. Moreover, its stability is poor, and chemical reactions can occur when encountering acids, alkalis and other chemical reagents. Overall, it is very delicate and requires regular maintenance.

In addition, there are micropores on the surface of the pearl, which need to breathe air and replenish moisture, and cannot be stored in the box for a long time, otherwise it is easy to turn yellow.

Furthermore, this basin of water is not ordinary tap water, but bottled purified water, because the former contains chlorine, which is not good for beads.

"There are so many things going on, I thought I would be done with just throwing them in the box." Jiang Yichen was considered to have gained knowledge, so he stepped forward to help.

Su Xiaojia dipped a ball of cotton wool in water, carefully wiped the surface of the pearls in turn, and then put them on a piece of flannel on the table to dry.

"It's so troublesome, just pour it into the water and bubble it and then take it out to dry?" Jiang Yichen was a little puzzled.

Su Xiaojia stopped what she was doing and patiently explained to him with pen and paper.

Since there are many micropores on the surface of the pearl, if it is directly soaked in water to clean, the water can enter the small pores of the pearl, which is not only difficult to dry, but may also ferment and cause discoloration.

And you can only use clean water to do this work, and chemical detergents, bleach, etc., are very strict about the damage to pearls.

Jiang Yichen understood, remembering that he had seen a female tourist on the Internet tell about her experience, saying that when she was traveling during the holidays, she bought a string of pearl necklaces with good luster and beauty, but not long after taking them home, the beads began to turn yellow and green. She was furious.

Now it seems that it is likely that the dealer used chemical means to bleach, glaze and other treatments such as bleaching and glazing the pearls that were originally not in good condition, and they looked bright at the time, but after all, they could not last long, and after a while, various side effects became prominent.

"It's really hard to serve this natural thing, it's not good if it's hot or cold, it's not good if it's dry or wet. What did that say, oh, I put it in my hand for fear of falling, and I put it in my mouth for fear of melting, so I almost gave it to you. But it's also strange that this is troublesome and expensive, and consumers just like it and enjoy it. ”

"You girls have the patience. In fact, according to me, if it is purely decorative, it is best to make people, such as jewelry made of glass, which is cheap and durable, and you don't need to worry about it, and you don't feel distressed if you lose it. If you don't like it, just throw it away, buy a new one, how good. ”

Jiang Yichen shook his head again and again, and also expressed some emotion and personal opinions.

Su Xiaojia pursed her lips and smiled after hearing this, and did not argue with him about right and wrong, bowed her head and continued to work.

After a while, a few larger beads were cleaned and placed on the flannel cloth on the tabletop, which showed a moist and clean luster under the light, and looked very comfortable.

Jiang Yichen looked at these beads and suddenly remembered something.

By the way, if the pearl needs water maintenance, then the quality of the water may affect it.

In this case, isn't the space ice water far stronger than this barrel of pure water? Great for pearls.

Thinking of this, he observed the space, and there were several buckets of pure ice water that had melted in the passage, one of which was green ice. Since it is used for jewelry, of course, it is necessary to choose a good one.

He immediately urged his mind to unscrew the lid of a spare clean glass bottle in the space, put it into the green ice bucket, and filled it with half a bottle, estimated to be 400 milliliters. Then he stretched out his right hand and took out the glass bottle.

"Xiaojia, I happened to bring a bottle of special nutrient water today, which is very effective for nourishing organic matter. Use this. Jiang Yichen said, placing the glass bottle in front of the girl.

When Su Xiaojia heard this, she took the bottle in her hand and looked at the light, and then put it on the tip of her nose to smell it.

"This nutritious water has no smell. By the way, it belongs to the original solution, don't use it to clean, it's too wasteful, and finally wipe it with a cotton ball for maintenance. Jiang Yichen added.

When the ice is level, the crops are diluted and used, but this time the original solution is used directly for pearls, so it must be very effective.

Su Xiaojia wrote the word "green" on the paper again, followed by a question mark. Then she looked sideways at him, apparently worried that the green pigment would seep into the surface of the pearl.

"It doesn't matter, the pale green color of this water is due to density and light, and it doesn't leave pigment." Jiang Yichen explained. It has been a long time since I had green ice and have never found pigmentation in use.

Su Xiaojia nodded, and out of trust in him, she didn't ask more. So I found another ball of cotton wool, moistened it with nutritious water, and wiped the pearls that had been cleaned carefully.

Jiang Yichen then helped again, and then remembered that there were four superlative pearls, and they were sleeping in a cardboard box in the space passage at the moment. I haven't taken care of it since I put it in.

So he took out the four beads and asked Su Xiaojia to clean and maintain them as usual.

After nearly an hour, when the work was completed, Su Xiaojia stretched her somewhat stiff waist, and then restored all the dried pearls, put them back in the tin cabinet and locked them.

Jiang Yichen also withdrew the four big beads, but there was no change on the surface at present.

They cleaned up the table together, and there was still some green ice water left in the glass bottle, which was handed over to Su Xiaojia for safekeeping and using next time.

At this time, the girl took out a stack of copy paper from the table drawer and handed it to Jiang Yichen, her eyes full of anticipation.

The latter took a look, and it turned out to be some pearl jewelry plans sketched with a pen, including hairpins, rings, studs, earrings, corsages, bracelets, etc., all of them, and hundreds of patterns were drawn. And judging from the brushstrokes, he also has a lot of painting skills.

He realized that although the number of pearls he owned at present was not small, if he simply strung them into a pearl necklace like the ones on the market, he really couldn't make a few. It is obviously more appropriate to replace it with a trinket.

"Well, on the whole, these designs are relatively new and fresh, unconventional, and it seems that a lot of thought has been put into them. By the way, these two earrings are a bit repetitive, so let's remove one. Also, this corsage feels a bit cumbersome and should be simplified a little more. Jiang Yichen first praised a few sentences, and then didn't care about his own insiders in jewelry, and only commented on the works based on aesthetic intuition.

Su Xiaojia listened to his evaluation very carefully, and then took a pen and wrote a note on the edge of the pattern, indicating that she would think about it again.

At this time, Aunt Wu came to the door and said that there were too many customers downstairs now, and everyone was a little too busy, so she asked her granddaughter to hurry down to help.

Jiang Yichen then said goodbye to them and left Dingxiang Garden from the backyard.

It seems that Xiaojia's sister has invested a lot of enthusiasm in the handicraft shop, and hopes that the funds can be quickly turned back so that the store can open as soon as possible. He thought as he walked.
