In front of the camera, Li Yi took out a glass bottle containing a bottle of beige viscous liquid.

When he opened the bottle, he picked up the liquid with a small wooden stick, smeared it on the broken gold wire, and put it on the outer wall of the golden bowl.

After placing the gold wire pattern on the outer wall and gently squeezing it for a few seconds, Li Yi let go.

After just a few seconds of pressing, the gold wire pattern was firmly attached to the bowl tire.

Seeing this scene, Geng Wanhua couldn't help it.

A few steps forward, he stepped into the shooting range of the camera, and asked, "What kind of glue is this?" ”

Hearing his voice, Li Yi glanced back at him, and the camera also cut over, giving him a picture.

After seeing him, there were Li Yi's old viewers in the live broadcast room, and they immediately recognized him.

"Huh? Isn't that the artifact expert? Why is he there? ”

"Isn't he here to persuade Brother Yi to donate bowls again?"

Cai Yi saw Geng Wanhua come forward to ask, and also stepped forward to follow.

They can also see the audience's barrage, and after seeing the audience's questioning barrage, Geng Wanhua explained a little embarrassedly: "We are here to watch Mr. Li Yi's reproduction of the Wanshou Boundless Bowl, and we have no intention of persuading Mr. Li Yi to donate."

This set of bowls is Mr. Li Yi's private property, if Mr. Li Yi is not willing to donate, we respect Mr. Li Yi's wishes. ”

When Li Yi heard this, he smiled, and did not dwell on this topic, but answered the question he just asked: "This is baiqi paste, a kind of vegetable gum." ”

"Baiji?"

Geng Wanhua was a little puzzled: "Isn't Baiqi a traditional Chinese medicine?" ”

Cai Yi on the side seemed to think of something, and reminded: "Lao Li seems to have said that Baiqi can be used to make glue, and when he repairs calligraphy and paintings, he uses Baiqi paste." ”

Hearing him say this, Geng Wanhua also thought about it: "Oh, yes, he said it when he framed calligraphy and paintings." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Yi in surprise and asked, "Can Baiqi paste stick to metal?" It's the first time I've seen it, how does it work? Will it work? ”

"Of course I can, otherwise how would I use it?"

Li Yi said with a smile: "In ancient times, the gold and silver utensils used Baiqi glue, not only the cloisonné enamel was glued with Baiqi, but the filigree dotted cui was also Baiqi. ”

"Is that so?"

Geng Wanhua suddenly realized, and asked with some excitement: "Do you also understand the process of filigree dotting emerald?" ”

One of the most subtle techniques in traditional jewellery making, the emerald is a fusion of metalwork and feathering, with the most brilliant blue feathers on the kingfisher's back set on the metal ornament.

But like cloisonné, the craftsmanship of Diancui has also been lost.

"I know a little bit about it."

Li Yi said casually and explained: "Baiqi gum is a vegetable glue, with good viscosity and high strength, and the glue is relatively thin, but it dries relatively quickly, so it is more suitable for use in fine operations."

Filigree dot emerald, cloisonné enamel, rubbing and mounting, unearthed silk fabric uncovering, can all use this glue. ”

"Wait a minute! Unearthed silk fabric uncovered? ”

Geng Wanhua's expression became serious, and he asked solemnly: "Are you sure that the unearthed silk fabric can be uncovered with this glue?" ”

"Of course."

Li Yi nodded and said: "Baiqi gum dries quickly, so after drying, a film will be formed, which is a dry colloid, which is equivalent to wrapping the things that need to be glued in it."

Because it is colloidal, it can isolate oxygen, and it dries quickly, so it can preserve the shape of the unearthed silk fabric and the mechanical strength of the silk body before it decays. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yi paused, and then asked: "This is very common!" Isn't the silk cloth edging for framing calligraphy and painting always used Baiji glue? Don't you know that it can uncover silk fabrics? ”

Geng Wanhua and Cai Yi looked at each other, their faces were pale, and their hearts ached.

Not only do they not know, but the entire archaeological community does not know that Baiqi gum can uncover unearthed silk fabrics!

The archaeological community has always believed that silk fabrics cannot be preserved, and it is not easy to leave photographs and video materials.

The main component of ancient silk was animal protein, and its preservation conditions were harsh, and it basically decayed as soon as it was unearthed.

Because it is buried in the soil, the air structure environment, dry humidity and pH around it have reached a balance.

After a long period of storage, its molecular structure is already very fragile, and once exposed to air, it will quickly degrade and decay.

Geng Wanhua and Cai Yi have both participated in archaeological excavations, and have seen many extremely exquisite silk fabrics, all of which quickly decay like movie special effects and turn into a pile of debris at the moment of unearthing.

Therefore, after hearing Li Yi say that Baiji gum can actually uncover the unearthed silk fabric, they are full of heartache at the moment.

If we had known about this earlier, how many beautiful silk fabrics would have been preserved?

Seeing their expressions, Li Yi already understood, and couldn't help but shake his head.

There are a lot of lost things in this world, and it's no wonder that Cai Yi and Geng Wanhua value cultural relics so much.

Geng Wanhua sighed, looked at Li Yi, and asked with a serious expression: "Mr. Li Yi, how did you know that Baiji gum can uncover the unearthed silk fabric?" ”

"Read."

Li Yi explained: "In the Ming Dynasty, there was a framing theorist named Zhou Jiaxuan, who wrote a book of "Decoration Journal", which said that he used silk to fold the edges, and pasted it with white qi, never taking it off, which was extremely elegant.

Silk is silk fabric, since the use of white paste can make the silk cloth never fall off, then why not try to use white paste to deal with the unearthed silk fabric? ”

Hearing Li Yi's words, Geng Wanhua was silent, and only after a while did he sigh and say to Cai Yi: "Send this news to the group!" Tell the Department of Archaeology that if there are silk fabrics unearthed in the near future, you can try it. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Li Yi and said solemnly: "Mr. Li Yi, if this matter proves to be effective, it must be a good thing of immeasurable merit, and the entire archaeological community will owe you a favor!" ”

"I don't need to."

Li Yi waved his hand: "I can save more silk fabric cultural relics, just like that, how many good things are gone?" ”

When Geng Wanhua and Cai Yi heard this, they felt another pain in their hearts.

It's heart-wrenching!

Listening to their conversation, Huang Xiaoming and the others in the rear were confused.

But although they couldn't understand it, they could roughly hear that Li Yi had taught these two experts an incredible skill.

And the thing used in that technique was the jar of baiqi gum that Li Yi had in hand.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but ask: "Is this glue very precious?" ”

"It's not expensive, it's just a very common vegetable gum."

Li Yi said with a smile: "It is very commonly used in industrial production, and the paper cigarette holders produced by those cigarette factories are bonded with this glue.

It can also be used as a natural thickener, which can be used as a skin care product, whitening and freckle removal, shrinking pores, and making the skin better. ”

"Huh? Really? ”

Hearing that he could take care of his skin, Zhao Jinmai immediately came to his senses and interjected to ask.

"Of course it's true."

Li Yi said with a smile: "It is recorded in the "Treatise on Medicinal Properties" that white can treat sores on the face and make people smooth, and the "Compendium of Materia Medica" also says that it can wash the face and remove freckles.

Mr. Mei Lanfang, a master of Peking Opera, often eats medicinal porridge with soybeans, white and walnut kernels, so he still has a ruddy complexion and shiny skin in his later years, and looks very young. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the glass bottle containing Baiqi gum on the table, and said with a smile: "If you use it to wipe your face, your skin will get better." ”

"I'll try."

Zhao Jinmai curiously stretched out his hand to dip a little, but Li Yi withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "You really dare?" This is a high-concentration glue, which cannot be wiped directly on the face, otherwise it will dry out for a while, and a layer of film can be directly removed. ”

"Oops!"

Zhao Jinmai realized that he had been deceived, and immediately turned around angrily and complained to Liu Yifei: "Sister Yifei! Look at him! ”
