Hearing Li Yi's reminder, many viewers in the live broadcast room complained in the barrage area.

"We have a gold shop here to help the elderly clean gold jewelry for free, my grandmother was deceived, and after washing it a few times, I found that the more it was washed, the lighter it was."

And what about this statement? Then I was cheated when I went to sell gold chains last time! The boss said to help me wash it for free and then weigh it, so I can't wash it off hundreds? ”

"More than a decade ago, this was a common situation, and many small gold shops used to steal gold in this way, but now it is much less."

"If you want to wash gold jewelry, it's best to wash it yourself, and if you are too lazy to do it, you will go to a brand chain store and ask for insurance."

In front of the camera, Cai Yi looked at the golden bowl tire in Li Yi's hand, and admired it again and again.

"It's a great effect! It's much better than what we burned before. ”

He leaned closer, admired the gold wire pattern that blended with the bowl tire, and muttered: "This ancient man didn't have water, how can I get rid of the traces of solder powder?" ”

Li Yi heard his words, but pretended not to hear it, didn't say anything, just roasted the bowl tire with a spray gun.

The old boy obviously wanted to talk about it, and asked if his craftsmanship came from ancient times.

However, the ancients did have a way to wash off the welding color on the gold tire, that is, to use plum or apricot water to steam.

Prunes and dried apricots contain natural acids that can wash off the weld marks on the gold tire, but they have to be boiled for a day or two.

But in ancient times, this is already a secret that belongs to the cloisonné craftsman's internal but not external, and the son but not the daughter.

In the process of stealing school several times, Li Yi failed to get this secret recipe from Liang Shaowen and Wang Shixiong.

But coincidentally, he is a cook and a modern man.

Once he smelled the smell wafting from the steaming enamel and could distinguish the smell of plums in the complex smell.

Considering the purpose of cooking the enamel and the effect of the final product, he thought of the principle of pickling and guessed the secret recipe.

Later, after experimentation, he succeeded in the experiment, and washed the enamel with black solder back to its original color.

However, although this so-called secret recipe is cracked, it is of little use.

Because he is going to reproduce it in modern times, in modern times he has water in the water, which is much stronger than plum water.

After drying all the residual moisture on the carcass, Li Yi checked the gold wires on the lower carcass.

After some inspection, he was very satisfied.

The firing effect is very good, all the gold wires are completely integrated with the bowl tire, and there is no welding running, welding off, and welding down.

So, he put down the bowl tire and took the backpack he had brought from the hotel.

Opening his backpack, he took out a bag of kraft paper from it, and he opened the kraft paper, revealing a piece of powder of different colors inside.

Seeing the powder that Li Yi took out, Geng Wanhua instantly walked a few steps quickly, came to the table, and stared at the powder with a shocked face.

He stared at the powder and asked in surprise: "Are these cloisonné glazes?" ”

"Or else?"

Li Yi asked disappreciatively, and then started to adjust the glaze.

Seeing Li Yi skillfully adjusting the glaze, Geng Wanhua glanced at Cai Yi, and both of them shook their heads with a wry smile.

They finally knew why Li Yi had always been full of confidence.

It turns out that people don't plan to use the genuine Wanshou Boundless Bowl in their hands as a mat to reproduce it.

People have glaze formulas in their hands!

In the production of cloisonné, the two most important steps are "filigree" and "point blue".

In ancient times, these two steps were carried out by special craftsmen, called silk workers and blue workers, respectively.

In ancient times, it was always believed that silk workers were more important than blue workers, because silk workers had to complete a series of tasks such as wire bonding, wire rolling, wire breaking, adhesive wire, and welding wire.

The blue worker only needs to adjust the blue material and fill them into the grid broken by the silk worker, which does not seem to be technically difficult.

Ancient craftsmen have always believed that the decoration of cloisonné utensils all lies in the level of silk work.

When breaking the pattern, a lot of skills are used, such as dead k, bending, bending, folding, etc., and the pattern requirements of the broken silk must be consistent.

Therefore, the silk worker's hands, brains and silk tweezers must be very close and tight, in order to break the ideal ornament.

But when the expert group copied the cloisonné artifacts, they were stumped by the glaze.

The team consumed a lot of cloisonné ware, stripped them of the glaze layer, and analyzed the content of various elements.

However, when reproducing, they tried to fire with similar raw materials, but they never achieved the effect that the original product had.

After many attempts, they finally gave up.

Without the glaze formula, they seem to be relying on their own efforts to decipher the experience and wisdom accumulated by hundreds of years of predecessors.

If you use the exhaustive method, there may be some possibilities to restore the formula of the glaze.

But that takes a lot of money and time.

Money is a small thing, the main thing is that no one is going to do it.

I have to endure the boring firing year after year, I can't see any hope, I can't see the direction of success, and the salary is not necessarily high.

There are not many students in related majors in China, and even fewer are willing to do this job.

Moreover, they are not sure whether the glaze analysis is in place, and if they analyze a few more finished products, there will be key discoveries.

In order not to destroy the remaining artifacts, they could only take the idea of reproduction into their hearts.

It was this experience that gave them a psychological shadow on the reproduction of cloisonné artifacts.

So when they learned that Li Yi wanted to reproduce the Wanshou Boundless Bowl, they resolutely opposed it.

Because they think that Li Yi will repeat their mistakes, and will use the method of peeling off the glaze and comparing and analyzing it to reproduce the ratio of the glaze.

But they didn't expect that Li Yi didn't plan to start with the Wanshou Boundless Bowl at all, and people had ready-made glaze recipes in their hands!

Looking at the rainbow-like powders in Li Yi's hand, Geng Wanhua and Cai Yi's eyes were extremely hot.

Is this the cloisonné glaze that they tried dozens of times without trying?

What is all this?

Is it raw or post-burned?

They held back their stomachs of questions and wanted to ask Li Yi, but in the end they didn't ask.

They knew that even if they asked, Li Yi would not say.

This is the core secret of the cloisonné production process!

In the dead corner of the camera, Guan Yue looked like an ant on a hot pot, scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry, Geng Wanhua and Cai Yi, who were pacing again and again, had obvious smiles on the corners of their mouths.

The more anxious Geng Wanhua and Cai Yi were, the happier he was.

Because this shows that the more likely Li Yi is to succeed in replicating the cloisonné process.

Li Yi took out a few deep-mouthed plates and used water to adjust more than a dozen kinds of glazes on the table into glazes.

Then, he matched these glazes and brought up various transitional color sections.

Looking at Li Yi's serious color adjustment movements, Zhao Jinmai couldn't help but muttered to Liu Yifei in a low voice: "Brother Yi looks like a painter now!" ”
