Qi Zongming explained the process of the charity auction to Yang Laojiu and Lin Chunhua in detail.

Yang Laojiu asked: "In other words, we have to donate a valuable thing first and let the family take it to auction."

As for how much it will sell for in the end, it depends on how much the person who bought it is willing to pay, right? ”

Qi Zongming smiled and nodded, "That's right!" ”

Lin Chunhua gently tugged at Yang Laojiu's clothes and said, "Brother Jiu, why don't we go?" ”

If you donate 100,000 yuan, you can go, Lin Chunhua still wants to see the world.

But if people want to donate things first, they have to be very valuable, such as jewelry, stamps, souvenirs, famous wine, etc.

The only things that are valuable to their house are the two floors and this villa—

You can't donate a house, can you?

Yang Laojiu only glanced at Lin Chunhua and knew what her concerns were.

He patted her hand lightly and said, "Don't worry, isn't there still more than a day left, we can go and buy one first." ”

Qi Zongming waved his hand and said, "There's no need to go out of your way to buy an expensive thing and donate it.

You can just write a few words, draw a picture, and then spend your own money to take a picture. ”

Zhou Mo, who had been listening, blinked his eyes and asked, "Can you still operate like this?" ”

Qi Zongming explained: "The ultimate purpose of charity auctions is to raise donations, and to put it bluntly, it is to make people pay for it.

It doesn't matter if the thing itself is worth the money, as long as it can fetch that price.

Chen Jin's father is very familiar with the organizer, as long as he tells the organizer, you can just take a blank piece of paper and send it to the auction! ”

Qi Zongming turned his head to Yang Laojiu and said, "The charity party will be held at three o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow.

You prepare the things for the auction first, give them to me before noon tomorrow, and I will have someone send them for you......

I'll go back to Villa No. 2 first, and I still have to teach Chen Jin to make filigree. ”

Yang Laojiu heard that Qi Zongming still had something, of course it was not good to ask more.

He hurriedly got up to send him off.

Zhou Mo habitually wanted to help Lin Chunhua clean up the table.

Qi Zongming turned his head and shouted, "Stingy girl! You're not going to keep up? ”

Zhou Mo took one or two empty plates and said in surprise: "Huh? Start teaching me tonight? ”

Lin Chunhua hurriedly snatched the empty plate in Zhou Mo's hand and urged Zhou Mo: "Go quickly, learn hard from your master!" ”

……

Zhou Mo followed behind Chen Jin and Qi Zongming and entered the large garage of Villa No. 2.

This garage was the same as her one, with no cars, except that it contained a long table and a large pile of gold tools.

Qi Zongming threw a bunch of things to Zhou Mo and said, "Tie a thick apron, put on heat-resistant gloves, and finally put on goggles and a mask, and Master will teach you to melt gold first." ”

Zhou Mo quickly put it on and asked, "Master, why don't you wear it?" ”

Qi Zongming glanced at her and did not answer.

A skilled master will not let himself be injured even if he does not have protective gear.

He took a crucible and crucible pliers, held a propane spray gun, and did as he spoke.

"The gold should be placed in a crucible.

Then, place the crucible on a fireproof surface and use a spray gun to aim directly at the gold inside the crucible.

The fine gold powder inside the crucible can be easily blown away, so be careful when the gun is approached.

The crucible heats up too quickly and cracks, so it has to be heated slowly and thoroughly.

Aim the flame of the spray gun above the gold powder and slowly heat it in a circular motion.

When the powder starts to heat up and turn red, the gun can slow down until the powder turns to a nugget.

Never melt gold next to flammable materials.

It's dangerous to do so, and causing a fire is certainly not the result you want to see......"

Zhou Mo listened carefully, looked carefully, and nodded frequently.

Qi Zongming demonstrated it and asked, "Do you understand?" You do it again! ”

Qi Zongming gave the position to Zhou Mo, and took a bracelet engraved by Chen Jin from the platform, and asked Zhou Mo to melt it down.

Zhou Mo raised his hand and asked, "Master, what was the water-like thing you added to the gold just before you melted it?" ”

Qi Zongming smiled with satisfaction and said, "I observed quite carefully.

It is a flux that collects fine gold particles and removes impurities from the gold during the heating process.

Flux is a substance that is added before gold is melted, and is usually made from a mixture of borax and sodium carbonate.

Generally, two pinches are added to every 30 grams or so of pure gold, and if the jewelry is dirty or the gold is not pure, then you can add a little more. ”

After Qi Zongming finished speaking, he motioned for Zhou Mo to start melting the gold.

Zhou Mo carefully operated step by step.

Qi Zongming nodded and said, "Sure enough, interest is the best teacher!" You're doing better than your brother! ”

Chen Jin, who was sitting at the other end of the platform pinching the gold wire, raised his head and glanced at Zhou Mo with a camera.

Qi Zongming glared at him and said, "Go on!" ”

Zhou Mo finished melting a gold bracelet and asked, "What's next?" ”

Qi Zongming picked up the crucible pliers, clamped the crucible, and poured the molten gold into a mold.

When the gold had cooled and formed, it was clamped with a clamp, placed on an anvil, and beaten with a small hammer.

Beating, heating, hammering, drawing, coiling into the right size, then annealing, welding...... Burnish......

Zhou Mo watched a small gold bar turn into a perfect gold bracelet.

Facing Zhou Mo's starry eyes, Qi Zongming was unmoved.

He said to Zhou Mo like Chen Jin: "Your homework tonight is to make a bracelet like this, if you can't make it or it's too rough, you won't be allowed to go home and sleep!" ”

After saying that, did he feel that he was too harsh?

The stingy girl is a female baby, and with that little thin arm, will she not even be able to complete the step of drawing?

That's a lot of work!

He was thinking about whether to change his words and let her do her best, when he saw Zhou Mo confidently say to him: "Promise to complete the task!" ”

Yo ho! The tone is not small!

Then wait and see!

Zhou Mo remelted a piece of gold and did it methodically according to Qi Zongming's steps.

Qi Zongming was very curious, it was obviously the first time she used a small hammer, how could she knock out the rhythm that only an old craftsman could knock out after a few taps?

Why didn't she feel any sluggishness when she pulled the strings?

Aside from the feeling of being so careful with the airbrush, she didn't look like she was striking gold for the first time......

It didn't take long for Zhou Mo to make the bracelet.

She held the bracelet in her hand and said to Qi Zongming: "Master, take a look, are you qualified?" ”

Qi Zongming nodded and said, "Barely qualified!" ”

He said so on his lips, but he sighed secretly in his heart - what a good piece of material!

Zhou Mo was very happy, and looked at the bracelet she made with her own hands, this is her first work.

She asked, "Master, can I buy this bracelet?" Or, I'll trade gold bricks for it. ”
