Divine Eye Appreciation King

Chapter 141
In fact, Feng Wei also thinks it's good, at least he doesn't have to sleep on the sofa anymore...

The next day, the two drove straight to the Yuan Palace Museum that Jiang Tao mentioned.

Originally, when Feng Wei first started working in the auction house, in order to learn the knowledge of appreciating treasures, he would go to various museums if he had nothing to do.

However, Feng Wei still took Huang Lu around the entire museum. In fact, as before, he went through all the exhibits, and he didn't see anything that matched the mother-child jade pendant.

"It seems...that cousin made a mistake!" Huang Lu sighed, "How about...we..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Feng Wei suddenly walking towards a house behind the museum. There was a sign of "Cultural Heritage Restoration Center" at the door, and a sign of "Tourists are not allowed" was posted on the door.

Feng Wei walked in with a smile, only to see two restoration masters, one old and one young, busy around the red sandalwood Eight Immortals table with missing legs and lining.

This table was quite dilapidated, not only was it missing a leg, but even the carvings on it were cracked a lot.

At this time, the old master was trying to restore the table legs, and the young man was in charge of restoring the carvings.

Although there is a sign at the door that says tourists are not allowed, for most tourists, doing so can only arouse their curiosity.

In fact, many tourists break into the restoration center every day to watch the excitement.

As long as it is not a special restoration project, the two masters will not drive people away, and will spread some knowledge about cultural relics with tourists.

For example, red sandalwood, small-leaf red sandalwood and big-leaf red sandalwood are not the same tree, and the prices are also very different.However, ordinary people cannot tell the difference very well, and only real appraisers and restorers of ancient cultural relics can easily distinguish the difference between the two types of red sandalwood...

Therefore, the two masters were not surprised when they saw Feng Wei coming in, they just continued to work.

"Hey! Lu Shibo, what you said won't work!" The young man loosened the restraint on the outside of the red sandalwood table legs, and looked at the gap and said with a sad face.

The carving work of this table is excellent, and the legs of the table are carved with extremely complicated patterns of animals, flowers and birds, as well as many figures.

This also made the restoration work extremely difficult. At this time, there was a huge gap between the top figure relief and the table leg.It seems that the young master was planning to use glue to fit it together, but it seems that he failed.

"How about... let's try some super glue?" The young master said again: "This stuff won't stick!"

"How can that be done!" Master Lu, who had just set up the legs of the table, was not happy when he heard the words: "The super glue is too corrosive and too harmful to cultural relics, so it can't be used..."

"Try isinglass!" Feng Wei couldn't help interjecting beside him.

"Tch!" The young master rolled his eyes at him: "Just look at it if you want to, don't pretend to understand, who doesn't know to use isinglass! Do you still use rubber?"

Feng Wei didn't get angry after being insulted by him. He walked up to the plastic bucket and took a look, then shook his head and said, "The color is wrong!"

"Hey...shit doesn't make sense!" The young master didn't even bother to look at him when he heard that, snorted, and stared at the table leg again, feeling worried.

Judging by his posture, he is planning to stick it a second time.

"Hey? Chen Chen, don't speak so aggressively!" Master Lu frowned, scolded Feng Wei, and then smiled at Feng Wei: "Young man, are you also in this business?"

"I'm a cultural relic appraiser at an auction house..." Feng Wei replied.

"No wonder you know how to use isinglass!" Master Lu nodded: "It's half of my peers! But I have used isinglass before. The gap is too big and the stickiness is not enough, so I changed it to triple glue. But it doesn't seem to be working..."

"The fish glue is not sticky enough?" Feng Wei was a little surprised: "How could it be!"

"Of course!" Chen Chen on the side sneered, "Conservation of cultural relics is a kind of work. If you don't actually do it, just rely on reading books to talk about it, that's... hum!" He glanced at Master Lu next to him, and then said But there is no export.

Feng Wei stared at the plastic barrel for a second time, and seemed to see something wrong, turned his head and asked again: "Master Lu, you boiled the glue with the swim bladder of large yellow croaker, right?"

"Yes!" Lu looked at Feng Wei in shock, as if he didn't expect him to see this, nodded and said: "The well-selected big fish maw, unfortunately it still doesn't work..."

"Hehe..." Feng Wei laughed: "Master Lu, I remember the records in ancient books that in the past carpentry used the swim bladder of sturgeon to make glue..."

"You know what a fart!" Chen Chen over there finally couldn't help it: "The glue made from the swim bladder of river fish is not as strong as the glue made from sea fish, and it's still as good as sturgeon..."

Before he finished speaking, Master Lu next to him slapped his head: "That's right, why didn't I think of that!"

"What?" Chen Chen was taken aback.

"Sturgeon!" Lu Zhen laughed: "This fish has a bigger swim bladder and is more sticky! The boiled glue should be usable!"

"Actually...sturgeon is also a sea fish!" Looking at Chen Chen who was stunned, Feng Wei added: "Most of the time they live in the sea, and only when they produce seeds will they swim back to the river. I understand too well, but I don’t think it should be considered a river fish, right?”

Hearing that he deliberately stared at Chen Chen, and emphasized the words "I don't understand", it was clearly ironic, and Huang Lu who was next to him almost laughed out loud.

This narrow-minded guy!
Chen Chen over there naturally knew what he meant, his face flushed immediately, but he didn't know how to refute.

"Yeah, Chen Chen! Go back to the farm by the river and try buying some sturgeon maw!" Master Lu over there was still nodding his head, and he didn't notice the expressions of the two of them at all.

"Farm?" Chen Chen seemed confused: "Master, isn't sturgeon a sea fish? They can also be raised?"

Seeing his surprised look, Feng Wei said seriously again: "Actually, what I just said is not entirely correct. Strictly speaking...sturgeon is actually a freshwater fish, not a sea fish..."

"What are you two doing?" Hearing this, Chen Chen finally couldn't help it, and glared angrily with a flushed face: "Didn't you see the sign at the door? Idlers are not allowed to enter..."

"Ming Dynasty tomb, porcelain square pot wrapped in animal cloth?"

When he understood the purpose of Feng Wei and the two of them, Master Lu fell into memory, and nodded after a while: "There is indeed such a cultural relic..."

Feng Wei was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Master Lu, can we see the real thing? Photos are also fine!"

"That animal skin is very weathered!"

Master Lu shook his head again and again: "There are regulations in the museum, no photos are allowed, as for the real objects..."

"Only after finding a way to fix it..."

"Master Lu!"
