antique masters in modern times

Upon hearing that it could be repaired, Chen Boyi was surprised and delighted.Hearing Yanyou talk about the need for new porcelain, he was stunned again: "Why do you need new porcelain to repair antiques?"

But this time, Yan You, who always knew everything, did not answer.After a few seconds of silence, Chen Boyi suddenly realized: the so-called Tao is not taught lightly, even if an apprentice who has performed the prostration ceremony, if the master does not like him, he may not be able to learn all the master's skills.And I actually opened my mouth to question other people's unique skills, but I committed a big taboo.

Realizing this, Chen Boyi hurriedly said haha, and found a way for himself: "There are several shops in Panjiayuan that specialize in imitation porcelain. Master Xiaoyan, let's go and have a look?"

"Okay, let's go." Knowing that Chen Boyi's words were unintentional, Yan You didn't take what he just said to heart.

After looking at Yanyou and not getting angry, Chen Boyi felt relieved.The store selling imitation porcelain is not far from here, and the two of them arrived at the store in three to five minutes.The owner of the shop heard Chen Boyi's introduction that Yan You was a newly hired restorer, and he couldn't help being awed, and quickly asked the shop assistant to make tea.

While speaking, Yan You had already quickly looked at the products displayed in the store, and found the right porcelain.But besides that, he also saw another very interesting thing: "Boss, who made that colorful flower and bird vase? It's really good."

The shop owner looked at his fingers, but he didn't take it seriously: "What's the use of being good? It's just a new item. In this garden, things without age can't be sold at a high price. If you like it, little master, I will Give it to you at cost."

New goods are not as good as antiques.This has always been an impeccable truth in the antique world, but Yan You still feels a little regretful.He could tell that this vase was made in imitation of the jade pot spring vase in the Qing Dynasty, with smooth and graceful lines and perfect shape.What's even more rare is that the decoration on the bottle body is exquisite in brushstrokes, and the colors are suitable in shades, which are very harmonious and pleasing to the eye.In terms of ornamental value alone, it is not much better than the real jade pot spring bottle.

Yan You thought about it, and felt that he might not be able to find any suitable antiques for a while.Why not just buy this vase as a wedding gift for Zhu Dao.

After buying two pieces of porcelain, he went to another store to buy some tools for restoration.After everything was ready, he bid farewell to Chen Boyi and returned home with three pieces of porcelain and large and small bags.The rules in his line of work are not to let others see him repairing antiques, so he can only take them home to start work.

There are two main methods for repairing incomplete porcelain. One is bonding, which involves reassembling the fragments according to their original shape; if the fragments are missing, they can only be replaced.The latter needs to be blended with stone powder, porcelain powder and glue, and refired with glaze of the same color as the porcelain itself, which requires more craftsmanship from the restoration master.

The fragments of Yan'er Zun have long been lost, so Yan You can only use the latter method, so he specially selected a new porcelain bottle with fine texture as a supplementary material.

Restoration was extremely energy-intensive, and when Yan You returned to the dormitory, seeing that it was getting late, he just wiped off the dust attached to the crack of Yan'er Zun, preparing to continue repairing it wholeheartedly after attending the wedding banquet tomorrow.

The red envelope given by Chen Boyi contained [-] yuan, Yanyou took out [-] yuan and wrapped it in a red envelope, put it with the vase, and then went to help grandma cook.

The next morning, a newly dressed Liang Guozu came to pick up Yanyou.

Because he was going to be the best man, not only did he change into a well-fitting shirt and trousers, but even his iconic mount, the big phoenix, became a brand new pink girl, Xiao Yongchang. There are red paper flowers tied on one left and one right.Yan You struggled for a while before sitting on this embarrassing thing as if death was at home.

At this time, except for a few well-to-do families, they generally do not go to restaurants for wedding banquets.In Sijiu City, there are master chefs who come to help with red and white banquets. As long as you say hello in advance and prepare the ingredients, when the day comes, the master himself will bring his helpers and take the stove to the host's house to start the fire, saving worry and money.

Zhu Dao served the wine in his new house, and because the yard was not spacious enough, he borrowed from a neighbor's house, and set up more than [-] square tables inside and out, each with four benches.Yan You made a rough estimate and found that he had invited at least two hundred people, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly for his popularity.

When Liang Zi rode Yan You into the alley, Zhu Dao, who was wearing a fringed mandarin jacket and tied with big red flowers on his chest, was distributing wedding candy to the guests with the bride.Seeing the two from a distance, Zhu Dao immediately patted the shoulder of the person beside him, leaving that person behind, and squeezed over on the floor of firecrackers and confetti: "Brother Yan, today is a good day for me, you can wait for me later." Have a few more drinks—hey, what are you taking? Didn’t I say earlier that you don’t need to bring a gift, Liang Zi, don’t stop Brother Yan!”

"Don't blame Liang Zi. If I came here empty-handed today, I would feel sorry for myself." Yan You lifted his chin towards the door, and stuffed the red envelope into his suit pocket: "We are old acquaintances, don't worry about it , Hurry up and greet other guests."

Zhu Dao went back with a smile on his face because of Yanyou's old acquaintance.Yan You walked into the newly furnished main room, and handed gifts to Zhu's elders along with everyone.

The packaging box of the vase was brought from the ancient Chen Zhai. The hard paper is pasted with dragon patterns on yellow background colored paper, and it is equipped with red silk handles. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell it is porcelain at a glance.The Zhu family's father hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help it, and smiled embarrassedly at Chong Yanyou: "Little comrade, I have worked in a porcelain factory for decades, and I can't help but want any porcelain pieces in my life. Check it out. You don't mind if I take it apart now?"

"Of course not." Yan You could well understand the eagerness to love certain things, "You can do whatever you want."

"Haha, I'm so sorry." Zhu's father smiled shyly and opened the package in twos and twos.But the moment he saw the vase clearly, he was suddenly stunned: "This is—"

At this moment, Zhu Dao suddenly ran in, grabbed Yan You, and said angrily: "Brother Yan, it's fine to bring a gift, what's the matter with this red envelope, it's almost as good as what my parents gave you. You like this Do you still think of me as a buddy?"

"Uh..." Faced with Shang Zhu Dao's dissatisfied expression, Yan You blinked in confusion, and then realized that he might have made a common-sense mistake.He didn't know the number of current exchanges between people, but he felt that Zhu Dao had helped him a lot, so he wanted to repay him during the wedding banquet.If he didn't have to build a house, he would probably have given away the two hundred yuan.

Now it seems that it was sent too much?

Yanyou was a little embarrassed.Just when I was about to speak, a strange voice sounded at the door: "The bride is so beautiful, the groom is really blessed. But I don't think you are dressed properly, you should wear a green hat. You have to be so stupid again If you go on, not only the bride, but even your money will be cheated by this little boy."
