Chapter 92: The Art of Quenching and Alcheming Jade
Now that I have seen the emperor's crown, there is nothing to say about the next thing.
Bai Xiaoshu pretended to ask Mulan to repair the imperial crown, and at the same time said that no one else could be present for this restoration work, so he and Professor Wang withdrew.
Secretly, he asked Angela, the Holy Hand scholar Xiao Rang, and the jade arm craftsman Jin Dajian to hire him.
As for what materials and tools are needed, the two of them directly find Mulan, and Mulan will convey it.
According to Angela's message, it only takes half a day to complete the restoration work.
Professor Wang took Bai Xiaoshu to the lounge outside, asked Chen Ziling to make tea, and asked with a smile: "This lady, not only is her fighting skills amazing, but she also has this technique, such a powerful character, Mr. Bai, how did she make her willingly be your bodyguard?" ”
Bai Xiaoshu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "What, Professor Wang plans to dig her up again and become an employee of your Cultural Relics Protection Bureau?" ”
"Nothing, nothing." Professor Wang didn't even dare to say it.
After drinking tea for a while, Bai Xiaoshu spoke: "Professor Wang, being idle is also idle, the treasure of the shipwreck, I salvaged it, why don't you let me open my eyes and see what things are inside?" ”
"Okay."
Professor Wang did not refuse, and without saying a word, he stood up: "Mr. Bai, please come with me." ”
He immediately took the white trees and began to visit them one by one.
Professor Wang is worthy of being a top figure in the field of cultural relics, and all the treasures present can be famous one by one, such as the origin, value, and so on.
It is not boring to listen to Bai Xiaoshu with relish.
I feel that this ancients really know how to play, what snuff bottles, what bracelets, what jade Ruyi, what jade pendants, and so on, all of which are different in shapes and colors, and the methods of use are also different.
Following Professor Wang, after going around, Bai Xiaoshu suddenly noticed that on the edge of the three bronze boxes, there was a string of rusty keys.
The key was the size of a palm, made of bronze, and was covered in patina due to the erosion of the sea, and looked like it was rotten.
Bai Xiaoshu's heart moved, and he went over and asked, "What is this ......?" ”
"Oh, here's the key to opening these three boxes." Professor Wang smiled and explained: "It's just that although this key is hidden on the edge of the box, it doesn't come in handy at all - it's old, and the keyhole has long been blocked. And these three boxes can be easily opened with a cutting machine, where to get the key. ”
Is that so?
Ordinary locks can naturally be opened with a cutter.
It's just that the lock of the ghost building, because it is integrated with the ghost building, the cutting machine is not effective at all, so you have to find the key.
Bai Xiaoshu pretended to be casual and pointed to the set of keys: "In this case, can you give me this key as a souvenir?" ”
"This ......," Professor Wang hesitated.
Bai Xiaoshu spoke: "Anyway, you can't use this key, I'll take it as a souvenir, or will it be cheaper for you to repair it?" ”
"1 million." When Professor Wang heard this, he immediately raised his fingers.
No way!
This old guy bargained very fiercely, and in the blink of an eye, he cut 1 million.
Bai Xiaoshu pondered for a moment, and immediately didn't say a word, clapped his hands and agreed: "Deal." ”
This time, it was Professor Wang's turn to be surprised.
"Mr. Bai, tell me the truth, this key, doesn't it have other functions?" Professor Wang asked.
"Well, it has an effect, but for you, it doesn't have much effect." Bai Xiaoshu blinked, and did not hide him: "At the beginning of the Ming Kingdom, there were two treasures, one of which was taken by Princess Kunyi and sank into the sea, and the other one, I happened to know the whereabouts of a place, but I am not sure, I don't know if the key can be opened." ”
"It turned out that Mr. Bai had found the treasure." Professor Wang suddenly realized, gave Bai Xiaoshu a thumbs up, and praised: "Bai always pays attention to people, and after discovering the treasure, he didn't open it violently, but chose to find the key." From this point of view, my old Wang is ashamed of being inferior to Mr. Bai.
I believe that Mr. Bai is also an expert in the industry of touching gold and fighting against gold, and there are rules in the industry, so I only ask Mr. Bai to do a little. ”
"You say. Just don't hand over advice like the Guo family. Bai Xiaoshu said.
"Where?" Professor Wang said with a smile: "These treasures are all remnants of history from all dynasties, I just hope that if Mr. Bai finds out, don't let them wander to a foreign land, then my old Wang, will be satisfied." ”
"I can promise you this, the righteousness of the Guo family cannot be ignored." Bai Xiaoshu replied righteously and awe-inspiringly.
When Professor Wang heard this, he didn't say a word: "Okay! Since Mr. Bai said so, then don't say anything else, I won't trade with Mr. Bai about this key, just take it. ”
This Professor Wang, although he is in the official career, also has a body of rivers and lakes, which makes Bai Xiaoshu quite appreciated.
……
When the two of them had seen all the treasures under the sea, Mulan also walked out.
She clapped her hands: "Professor, the cultural relics have been restored, you can accept it." ”
When Professor Wang heard this, he hurriedly rushed in.
At a glance, sure enough, the originally broken imperial crown, at this time, has taken on a new look and appeared in front of you.
Professor Wang picked it up and looked at it, and praised: "Sure enough, it is a traditional restoration technique, the art of quenching and refining jade." This craft has been lost for many years, but I didn't expect it to be seen again today. Master, master! ”
The art of quenching and refining jade?
Sounds pretty high-end.
Bai Xiaoshu looked at it, and didn't see anything high-end, anyway, the emperor crown was repaired, and the task was completed, so that's it.
"Professor Wang, you can confirm that if there is no problem, just put the money on my card."
Bai Xiaoshu looked at the sky, took the string of bronze keys, and said goodbye to Professor Wang.
"Wait, Mr. Bai, if you can." Professor Wang stopped him: "I hope you can let this flower girl pass on this quenching and jade refining technique." After all, this is a cultural inheritance of thousands of years, and it would be a pity if it was left behind.
As for the remuneration, as long as the price is not too outrageous, then my boss Wang will do my best to help Mr. Bai fight for it. ”
Oh?
And this kind of operation?
Professor Wang's words reminded him that in the past 5,000 years, how many ancient skills have been gradually buried and lost in the long river of history.
If you can write or record these things and put them up for auction in the world, this is also a fortune!
In ancient times, the most fundamental reason why these things were lost was because of "self-style", a lot of rules for passing on men and not women, and other strange door rules, as well as war, which were also the biggest reasons.
Bai Xiaoshu is a businessman, and when he thinks about it like this, he immediately feels that he has a huge fortune in front of him!
