antique masters in modern times

Xiao Fang had already stretched out his hand, but Yan You suddenly withdrew his hand, letting him take it empty.

Looking at Yanyou's upper body wearing a cheap vest, with the words "The Third Steelmaking Plant" printed in white on the red base, and the corduroy pants on his lower body are extremely worn out, with patches on the inconspicuous parts.A pair of Jiefang rubber shoes is even more unraveled everywhere, only the toes are not exposed.

In fact, this is already Yan You's most decent outfit, but in the eyes of others, it is still shabby.Xiao Fang, who came from the bustling city, immediately showed disdain in his eyes, and said bluntly and impatiently, "You, return the photo quickly."

Yanyou let out an "ah" and said, "I just saw that the things above looked familiar, so I took a second look, I'm sorry."

"Familiar? This is Mo Lao's heirloom Ye Mingzhu, how could you have seen it before. Oh, don't you see it in a movie?" Xiao Fang ran for a long time to find this box, but he had no clue, consciously in front of the boss. Lost face.Now I heard a little boy in ragged clothes say that he looks familiar, just caught a place to vent his anger, and satirized him back without thinking.

Seeing Xiao Fang opening his mouth and stabbing people with words, Yan You couldn't help frowning.However, he already knew the reason why the king of Hades loves little ghosts, and he has also taught this even more unreasonable person, so he ignored Xiao Fang at the moment, and just said to Mo Lao: "I am familiar with that box. Besides, is the box worth money? If it is, my family has a family heirloom."

There are many circular jewelry boxes in the world, and the photos are black and white, and the patterns cannot be seen clearly.But Yan You could see it clearly: the few dents on the body of the broken box in hand coincided with the place where the beads were inlaid in the photo.Over time, these decorations have long since fallen off, and only the body of the box remains, but the bead holes from that year are still there, which can be used as confirmation evidence.

Hearing the conversation between these two people earlier made him guess that this jewelry box must be very important to the old man surnamed Mo, and he would probably be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.As he was in urgent need of money, he would naturally not let go of this business opportunity.However, he was not stupid enough to tell the truth about the origin of the remnant box, and with a slight thought, he made up a seemingly innocent but seamless rhetoric.

He reckoned that this box was probably lost during the war, and what he said just now not only pointed out that he had a similar box, but also said that the things belonged to his family.

After hearing this, Mr. Mo's eyes lit up, but he gave Xiao Fang a stern look first: "How do you talk? You have no manners!"

Xiao Fang was reprimanded until his face turned pale.Yan You had more confidence in his heart: No matter how much sincerity there is in these words, it is enough to show that Mo Lao is a fastidious person.It is always more comfortable to deal with elegant people.

After reprimanding the assistant, Mo Lao said to Yan You again: "Little friend, are you sure that the things in your house are exactly the same as those in the photo?"

Now that he is playing the innocent boy, Yan You is also happy to act like a little more.Pretending to look at the photos for a while, he said seriously: "It's about the same, but the one in my house is only the bottom half, without pearls, and without a cover."

"Then what are you yelling for!" Hearing this, Xiao Fang thought he had seized the opportunity, and hurriedly fell into trouble, trying to get back the situation: "Mr. Mo, you heard it all. It's not that I was impatient, it was this little devil who There is nothing you want on the Internet. His so-called image must be just a similar ordinary thing."

As he said that, Xiao Fang stepped forward and snatched the photo from Yan You's hand, and even pushed him, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't try to cheat us of returning to Guohua Bridge, get out!"

Yan You didn't expect this guy to be so arrogant, he couldn't help showing anger on his face.He originally planned to talk to Mo Lao slowly, but now he changed his mind and decided to make this man suffer.

"Mr., if I'm not mistaken, there are seven beads embedded in the base, right?"

There are three pearls on the side shown in the photo.Generally, the beads on jewelry boxes are in pairs. People who just look at the photos will often guess that there are three pearls on the other side. It is impossible to think that this box will be an exception.

Mr. Mo is very clear about his own things, he said "噫", and said in surprise: "That's right, it's seven, which means the Big Dipper."

"So, I'm not mistaken." Yan You said: "Mr., is it worth money?"

"Little friend, to tell you the truth, I've been looking for it. Can you show me it? If it's what I need, I will definitely pay you a satisfactory price."

"Oh?" Yan You curled his lips, looking very childish, but his words were sharp: "I just want to make it clear-even if I treat it as a brick and throw it in the moat for nothing, I won't sell it to anyone. Someone who scolded me."

"Call you?" Mo Lao was stunned: "Little friend, I have never scolded you."

"It's not you, it's him." Yan You pointed at Xiao Fang, whose face changed slightly, and imitated the other party's dog-eyed and low-key tone just now: "'Don't try to lie to us for returning to Guohuaqiao, get out! 'You slander me as a liar and let me go, it's really majestic. What about the overseas Chinese? Didn't you escape from this city back then? After hiding for decades, you suddenly became nobler than us? Don't you forget? When you live in peace, it is the people we left behind who will guard China!"

If he still has the appearance of an adult, it is of course impossible to be sarcastic in person.But since he is still a teenager, why beat around the bush?

He didn't use a single dirty word in his words, but he scolded Xiao Fang so much that he couldn't hold his head up.After thinking desperately for a long time, he just decided to deny it, but he was severely reprimanded by Mr. Mo: "Xiao Fang, you have studied for more than ten years, and you are not as polite and sensible as a child. I want you to report to this person immediately. Apologize, kid!"

"Old Mo, I didn't...I..."

Hearing Xiao Fang hesitate to deny it, Mr. Mo glanced at him and said lightly: "What are you? Speak louder and clearly. If there is something wrong-you should know, I hate it the most in my life. Lying subordinate."

Hearing this, Xiao Fang suddenly froze.Mo Lao is considered to be the number one figure in Hong Kong Island. He has several industrial companies under him, and the employee benefits of the Mo family are very good.

He immediately silenced, turned his head and said to Yan You in a low voice: "My little friend, I just said something wrong on the spur of the moment, I'm sorry."

Although his tone was still full of reluctance, but he was doing enough to save face, and Yan You didn't care about these details: "It doesn't matter."

After finishing speaking, Yan You looked at Mo Lao again: "Old man, you are so particular."

Mr. Mo chuckled: "It was my employees who were at fault first, and what you said also touched me—kid, these words are something you can't learn in school. Your parents must be very knowledgeable, right?"

Mo Lao has experienced two dynasties. Before traveling to Hong Kong Island in the past, he had met many down-and-out and difficult royal officials.Naturally, they will not have a pair of snobbish eyes that only respect Luo Shang and disrespect others like the young people nowadays.

Yan You thought to himself that this old man has sharp eyesight, and he is indeed from a family.But that was 70 years ago, and in this life his father was just an ordinary worker.Yan You then denied it with a smile: "The old man has won the award, my house is very ordinary. That thing is in my house, since you want to see it, wait until tomorrow—"

"Can we do it today?" After Mo Lao finished speaking, he realized how urgent he was. Even when signing a contract worth tens of millions, he had never been so anxious. Out of breath?Thinking about it in your heart, you have to catch that little bit of thinking about it.

"This... alright. Just wait for me in the tea room at the east gate, and I'll deliver the things in two hours." Yan You reckoned, excluding the time for going back and forth, the remaining time would be enough for him to clean up the leftover box .

"Okay, kid, I'll wait for you right there." After saying that, Mr. Mo signaled Xiao Fang to park the car, and he waved to Yan You before turning around and walking towards the tea room.

Encountering a business by accident, Yan You was a little excited when he thought that half of the money for renovating the new house might be paid.

I ran all the way back to the dormitory, excitedly took out the "ashtray" from under the bed, just about to start work, but suddenly remembered something.Suddenly, a basin of ice water was poured down on his head in nine cold days, and he was stunned: he was careless for a while, and he forgot that he didn't have repair tools, what should he do?

In fact, the problem with this half of the jewelry box is not very serious, but because it has been exposed to the outside for too long, visually, it has been decades, not only was it stained with black smudges, but also a layer of lime rust crust formed on the surface .Nothing else was damaged.

In the past, Yanyou soaked it in his own special solution for a day and night to remove the dirt and rust on the surface.But that kind of solution requires special materials, so where should he find it in such a hurry?

Yanyou has always been a rational person, knowing that being anxious cannot solve the problem, he suppressed his agitation for a moment, and focused on thinking about what to do.

——Give the unprocessed remnants directly to Mo Lao?No way, no matter what you sell, you have to look good, even if Mr. Mo accepts it regardless of the dirty, he will definitely not be able to give the price.This is still a relatively optimistic idea. If Mr. Mo is picky and refuses to recognize it if he is too dirty, he may really be treated as a liar as Xiaofang said.Not only can't the business be done, but it's also a waste of embarrassment.

——Tell Mo Lao to give it to him another day?But people have an impulse to buy things, unless it is a top-grade treasure, once the energy is over, they don't want to buy it anymore.Besides, this is not a serious commodity. If Mo always thinks back and thinks that a child is lying to him, otherwise he won’t be able to make an agreement and fail to hand over the item. Even if he repairs the broken box beautifully, Mr. Mo I don't want to see him anymore.

Considering various factors, the best way is to follow the original plan and immediately clean up the residual box and send it over.But in this way, the question returns to the original point: what method should be used to clean up?

When weighing the pros and cons, Yanyou suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered that there was a room for chemical reagents in the factory that Director Zhang had shown him to visit.He didn't know these things imported from the West before, but fortunately he learned well in the original Yanyou Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. In addition, Director Zhang mentioned their functions when he introduced them, which confirmed his deep impression on him.

He remembered that there is a chemical called nitric acid that can corrode objects in a very short time, and this principle is similar to the special solution he made before.Perhaps, nitric acid can also help him clean the residual box!
