Seeing Li Yi admit directly, Cai Yi and Geng Wanhua couldn't sit still, and couldn't help but adjust their sitting posture.

Guan Yue was very calm, just smiled and nodded when he heard this, and continued to ask: "Then do you think you are sure that you can reproduce it successfully?" ”

Guan Xue on the side, her eyes suddenly drooped.

She found that when she asked this question, Guan Yue's hand holding the chair suddenly tightened a little.

She was a little puzzled, and her father was very concerned about this issue?

"Ten percent."

Li Yi said with a smile.

When Guan Yue heard this, his expression did not change, but a trace of excitement flashed in his cloudy eyes.

And Cai Yi and Geng Wanhua, who were on the other side of the table, laughed out loud when they heard Li Yi's words.

"Mr. Lee."

Cai Yi looked at Li Yi and said seriously: "Believe me, in the matter of reproducing cloisonné craftsmanship, our museum's efforts are definitely the most, and this matter is definitely not as simple as you imagined." ”

Geng Wanhua on the side also nodded, and said to Li Yi: "I understand, no one wants to sell such a precious set of bowls cheaply."

The issue of money can be discussed, but it is a bit inappropriate to have the idea that you would rather destroy it than give it to others. ”

Looking at their serious looks, Li Yi also put away his smile, and asked: "I think the two experts may be a little preconceived, why do you think that I can't reproduce it successfully?" ”

Geng Wanhua glanced at Guan Yue, and when he saw that Guan Yue didn't speak, he explained to Li Yi: "Don't worry, the cloisonné production process you learned is not the version recorded in "The Old News Examination under the Sun"?

In fact, several ancient books have recorded the process of cloisonné, but this level of handicrafts cannot be reproduced in a few words.

We all know that the special feature of cloisonné lies in its shape, pattern, color and light.

A fine cloisonné ware must first have a good shape, which depends on the level of craftsmanship in making tires.

Secondly, it should also have a beautiful decorative pattern, which depends on the filigree technique.

Thirdly, it also has to have gorgeous colors, which depends on the formulation of the blue material.

Finally, it must have a brilliant luster, which is done with sanding and gilding.

On the whole, it is the ultimate craft integrating art, craft, carving, inlay, smelting, metallurgy and other professional technologies, the pinnacle technology of traditional handicrafts, and the bright pearl of Chinese culture! ”

Speaking of this, Geng Wanhua was a little excited, and his breathing became a little short.

"It's a pity that because of the war, this ultimate craftsmanship has been lost."

He sighed regretfully and said ashamedly: "We have tried many times to reproduce cloisonné, but all of them failed, and we wasted a lot of Mr. Guan's funds, which is really embarrassing." ”

As he spoke, he looked up at Guan Yue.

Guan Yue, on the other hand, smiled and waved his hand to show relief.

Seeing this, Geng Wanhua was in a better mood, and then continued: "You should know that the basis of making cloisonné is to make fetal embryos and dip silk.

This step can barely be regarded as having some results, at least we can make a fetal embryo, and we can also stain the copper wire on the carcass.

But the real difficulty in the production of cloisonne lies in the point blue and burnt blue, this level, we have tried many times before and after, but we have not been able to break through, and we have lost a lot of cloisonne equipment. ”

When he said this, his emotions became a little excited, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Seeing this, Cai Yi sighed and added: "If cloisonne wants to burn a good-looking color, the correct ratio of blue material is the key.

But in all the ancient books that can be queried, there is no record of what the blue material of cloisonne is made of.

We tried to strip some blue material from the existing cloisonné utensils and analyze them, but we only analyzed the proportions of some basic elements.

If you want to use natural elements to formulate the same color of blue, you need to carry out more and more detailed analysis tests, and you need to peel off more colors and more areas of blue.

We have calculated that if we want to use the exhaustive method to push out all the colors of blue material, I am afraid that all the existing cloisonné utensils will be destroyed, and the blue material will not be able to be stripped out..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Geng Wanhua calmed down a bit, and then stared at Li Yi and said solemnly: "Mr. Li Yi, I know that you value this set of bowls very much, and we are actually the same."

For this lost craft, these surviving utensils are the only evidence of its existence.

Because of our arrogance and rashness, it has led to a lot of cloisonné appliances being damaged, which is a stain on our life and a thorn in our hearts.

Therefore, we really can't bear to see such a set of precious cloisonné bowls destroyed again, I hope you can understand. ”

Hearing their words, Li Yi's expression became much more serious.

I don't know if I don't know, it turns out that they have really put in so much effort to reproduce the cloisonné process.

Although these efforts are a bit of a delay, at least the starting point is good.

However, although these words sound quite moving, their purpose is not to let him take out the Boundless Bowl of Longevity?

Seeing that Li Yi was silent, Guan Yue on the side suddenly spoke: "Xiao Li, can you listen to me tell a story?" ”

Hearing him speak, Li Yi raised his head and responded to him: "You say." ”

Guan Yue rubbed the armrest of the seat, looked at the empty place in front of him, and fell into memory.

"When I was young, I loved tossing and being enthusiastic, I went to be a soldier and wanted to protect my family and defend the country.

But after I actually went to the battlefield, I realized that it was good to be alive.

Later, I changed jobs and returned to my hometown, because I had enough academic qualifications, and I worked as a university teacher for a few years, teaching history at the school.

But liberal arts are not popular, although there is a name for a university teacher, but the salary is just that, you can't eat enough and starve to death, and you can't get rich.

It just happened that the tide was up and down at that time, and many people went to Shencheng to do business and dump stock call warrants.

I wanted to go, but I didn't have any money, so I brought a cloisonné dragon pattern jar from the Xuande period that was handed down from my family, and I knew that foreigners would buy this.

When I arrived in Shencheng, I managed to contact a few Eagle Country people, sold the big lid jar to them, sold it for 200,000 yuan, and had the first start-up capital. ”

Listening to his story, Li Yi smiled and said: "Your experience is also magical enough, 200,000 that year is not a small amount!" ”

"That's right."

Guan Yue tugged at the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Relying on the 200,000 yuan, I earned more than 4 million, which increased by 20 times, and then directly invested in Shencheng, opened a small electronics factory, and after a few years, I made a fortune and made a lot of money." ”

Speaking of this, he paused, sighed, and then said in a complicated tone: "That big lid jar is an heirloom handed down from my grandfather's generation, and my grandfather kept it when he was in the war.

But he didn't know that I, an unscrupulous descendant, actually sold all the family heirlooms in order to make some money.

When I made the money, I wanted to buy the jar back.

I have thought about it, as long as the other party is willing to sell, even if it is a hundred times, I am willing to buy.

But I didn't expect that by the time I found the jar again, it would already be stored in the Great Eagle Museum. ”
