Chapter 141: Casual Nonsense
"What are you thinking?" Merris couldn't help but ask as he watched Lin Yi grab his phone there in a daze.
"It's nothing!" Lin Yi shook his head and put his hand back in his pocket.
When he met such a painting, Lin Yi naturally would not give up, this painting was only taken into Lin Yi's pocket for 10,000 pounds, Lin Yi was full of joy and a little disappointed at the same time, because the owner of this painting only remembered that it was taken back from a homeless man, and he did not know the specific origin.
"Perhaps, this is another historical mystery!"
Lin Yi shook his head, put all these thoughts behind him, and stopped thinking about them.
"Let's go back!" Merris said with some pity as he looked at Lin Yi.
Well, Merris was carrying a lot of things in her hands, and she did look a little pitiful.
However, when he called this guy out, he rejected the housekeeper's idea of sending someone to follow, and in the end it was just the two of them.
The things in Lin Yi's hand were twice as large as Merris, but he still looked so relaxed, but Merris did look like a tired dog.
"Let's go, let's go back. Looking at today's harvest, Lin Yi also nodded with satisfaction.
"Oh, go back, huh, go back?" As soon as Merris, who was a little sluggish, heard that he was going back, his whole person suddenly came to his senses.
"Let's go, let's hurry back. ”
After saying that, he reached out and hailed a taxi.
"Finally back. Merris threw down the antique in his hand, jumped on the sofa in front of him, and rolled happily a few times.
Lin Yi watched Merris's movements, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the porcelain in his hand and the oil painting of "The Nameless Girl", and felt a burst of joy in his heart.
It's good that I didn't let Merris hold these things, otherwise if I bumped a little, I would be distressed and don't want it.
Hey, I seem to be able to fix it, so it's okay to fall a little.
However, this Merris's character doesn't know how it was cultivated, such a big grin, it doesn't look like it was cultivated by the British elite education at all, and his father must be extremely desperate to think of it.
"By the way, Yi, show me the little box you bought earlier, I want to see what it is, that guy was really unpleasant before. Merris sat up from the sofa, looked at Lin Yi and said.
Lin Yi handed over the things.
Merris picked up the box and looked at it a few times, and was immediately disappointed.
"Yi. You really weren't a liar before?Such a gray box, and this broken stone inside is really a treasure?" Merris looked at Lin Yi with a suspicious expression.
"What am I lying to you for?" Lin Yi looked at Merris with some amusement. But the appearance of this box and jadeite is really too bad.
This condition is definitely not worth so much money, and the boss before is likely to be unhappy with Merris, so he just quoted a price casually.
"Really, how do you see that? And what kind of Victorian style? I don't see it at all. ”
"Gloomy woods don't weigh the same as ordinary wood, they've been buried in the ground for countless years, they've been semi-stony, so they're denser and heavier. ”
Lin Yi took out the jade inside the box and handed the box to Merris.
"Hey, it's true, sure enough, this box is heavier than ordinary wood, and I didn't even pay attention to the stone in it before. But even this has been discovered by you, and you are really careful to observe. Merris shook it with his hand, and sure enough, the weight was wrong, and the box was obviously heavier.
"Also, a piece of the paint inside the box has fallen off, so you can see the true face of the hidden inside. From here, I can see that this box is not ordinary. Lin Yi pointed to the bottom of the box.
Merris looked at it, and sure enough, there was a long scratch there, which just scratched off a small piece of the gray paint on the outside, revealing the vermilion paint layer on the inside.
"I see. ”
"But you haven't said how the hell did you find the Victorian stuff here?" Merris was about to listen to Lin Yi continue, but found that Lin Yi stopped talking, and immediately shouted.
"Is this ......" When Lin Yi heard this question, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
Can I tell you it's because I saw the box inside, it's similar in style to yours, and the box is dated to the Victorian era?
"I'm talking nonsense, after all, the Victorian era is more famous. ”
"I see!" said Merris, disappointed.
"Let's get it out, it's really ugly, and I want to see what this thing looks like. ”
Lin Yi nodded, and directly took out a knife and sharpened it.
"Is it really okay to cut it with a knife?" Merris asked, a little worried.
"Don't worry, no problem. ”
This jewelry box was hidden very carefully, and there was a layer of isolation belt in the center of the two layers of lacquer, so if you cut it with a knife, as long as you pay attention to it, there is not much of a problem, and Lin Yi can also repair it, so it is so simple and rude.
But this is why Lin Yi dares to come like this, no matter who the rest is, after getting this box, he will definitely come step by step, first with some special potions, and then put this in water to soak for a few hours, and then take it out and clean it up slowly after soaking the outer layer of lacquer.
But Lin Yi was too lazy and didn't want to bother so much, so he went straight to work.
In fact, there is a simpler one, that is, to get it in the space, and when the time comes, a thought can be solved, fast and safe, but Merris is staring at it here, so it's not easy to get it.
Lin Yi took the knife and flew quickly on the box, and the fragments of the shell fell down there, and during the whole process, Lin Yi's left hand held the jewelry box and did not move.
This is also due to Lin Yi's great improvement in cooking skills, even with his knife skills are improving rapidly, his current knife skills are no worse than those top Chinese chefs, or even better, which is also due to Lin Yi's excellent physical fitness and very strong wrist strength.
It didn't take long for the gray paint on the outer layer of the jewelry box to be peeled off, revealing the vermilion color inside, and with a slight brush with a soft brush, the fragments in the cracks of those patterns were cleaned out, and the hidden jewelry box appeared in front of the eyes of the two of them.
This small jewelry box is carved in great detail, everything on it is lifelike, and even the patterns can be seen three-dimensionally.
Merris recognized it at first glance, this was the Victorian style, because he was very familiar with it.
"Is it really casual nonsense?" Merris glanced at Lin Yi suspiciously, and then put this guess out of his mind.
