Mo Bingzhong's method of restoring paintings is more cautious than that of porcelain bowls and wooden boxes. The painting was left in his hands for several days. On the first day, it was carefully inspected and then cleaned up a little. Some floating dust and mildew are the part on the surface, the real dirt that seeps into the painting paper has not moved, and some places with blurred water stains seem to be a headache, how to clean it?

Ji Mo looked at the painting and asked him to draw a similar painting. It is not difficult if the painting environment is not required, but an imitation painting is not a restoration, even if it is a high-quality imitation, it is another painting. The original painting had nothing to do with it, but it wasn't the same thing after all.

What he used was only the painter's skills he learned in the last world, not the restorer in this world.

"Daddy, how do we clean this up?"

"Hot water is hot."

Mo Bingzhong gave a neat answer, which made Ji Mo frown, wash?No kidding, the painting is on paper, and whether it's ink or paper, doesn't it melt into a paste in water?With the quality of this kind of paper, can it be soaked in water without rot?

The painting looked too tattered, and in some places, obvious holes could even be seen, like insects, as if it could be directly turned into powder with a touch of the tentacles.

Ji Mo knew that he was still a child and would never be allowed to touch such an important thing, so he didn't reach out rashly.

Two small hands clasped behind their backs, restrained themselves, stood aside, only looked at with eyes, inside the clear pupils, doubts were written so clearly, Mo Bingzhong grinned when he saw it, and didn't go any further. Instead, he turned around to see if the hot water burning on the stove was ready.

It was already the second day, and it was time to officially restore the painting.

First find a wooden basin to fill with a basin of hot water, and put it on the table for use. The paintings are laid flat on the table for washing.

Mo Bingzhong took out a "brush" with a strange shape from the toolbox. The correct name should be a row of brushes. look happy.

One side is brush hair, and the other side has a wooden structure that is upturned like a minion. Because it is upturned, it does not affect the use of the brush tip, and the arc that bends from the back toward the brush tip seems to be just enough to restrain the lack of restraint in using the brush brush. , a tragic situation in the end.

Or, after brushing and brushing, the curved and smooth arc can just roll the painting core flat?

Mo Bingzhong's technique is proficient. He dipped the pen in hot water and brushed it on the core. Seeing his movements, because he was too proficient, he felt that he was not meticulous enough. Ji Mo could hardly bear to watch it. Under this, even the old ink color will be faded away, and the tight bond between the paper fibers will also be neglected.

"Okay."

As if knowing what he was thinking, Mo Bingzhong said, without looking at Ji Mo, he waved the brush and began to wash the painting. After brushing over and over again, he felt the decompression feeling after washing the dirt with a high-pressure water gun. Ji Mo saw it strangely, the color didn't come off!

If you look closely, the paper doesn’t seem to be a problem, it doesn’t feel like it’s melted at all. The front brush has been brushed, the hot water has been spread out, and the curved back of the paper has been scraped along. Like a scraper, all the excess water is removed Both are squeezed out, and the cooperation of the two is actually invincible.

Mo Bingzhong started cleaning from the top of the painting, and cleaned it horizontally. After this row of brushes was brushed, it was like a clear sky after rain, revealing the colors that should have in the clear sky in the painting again.

After several rows of brushing in a row, the painting has a new look.

This is a picture of an old man in the mountains. Under the clear sky, on a rock beside a tree, the old man sits quietly holding a wine gourd. He seems to be half-drunk. He squints his eyes and looks at the sky above him. He seems to be pondering the way ahead. Wangtian let out a sigh, there are many damages on the painting, it is impossible to see what the artistic conception of the whole painting is, but, I hope that the frosty sky is so lonely, it should be such a feeling.

Mo Bingzhong didn't just wash it once, when Ji Mo thought it was ok, he changed the basin of water and started to wash it a second time. This time, many stubborn stains were completely washed away, and he couldn't resist it at all. until the color of the water is clear, the colors on the painting seem to become clear, if it is just traced on, it will be clear and bright.

Gently press with a soft cloth to absorb excess water, the remaining dirty water is absorbed on the soft cloth, pieces of soft cloth are discarded aside, the painting is completely different from before.

The next step is to peel off the backing paper.

The process of removing the backing paper does not need to be described in detail. Mo Bingzhong did it smoothly and naturally, and Ji Mo was pleasing to the eye. In the hands of such professionals, these tasks are light, and it looks like flowing water without much effort. In fact, It may not be really difficult, but when I look at it, I just feel that everything is very easy.

It's easy, so you don't need to spend more energy on it, and you can't watch it for a second or two, you can only follow the next step-the revealing paper.

A framed painting looks like one layer of paper, but actually there are at least three layers. The first layer is the painting that people can see, which can be called the painting core. Layer support paper is closely related to the painting core, which can prolong the life of the work, so it can also be called life paper, bearing the life of the painting core.The next layer of supporting paper is the backing paper.

Some backing papers have only one layer, and some have as many as two layers, such as the outer skin of a fruit, which can be easily peeled off without damaging the fruit pulp. The technical content of peeling it off is different from that of life-revealing paper, and it is relatively easy.

Fate is different.

"If you want to restore such an ancient painting, you only need to remember four words." Mo Bingzhong started to speak while moving his hands, which was exactly the point of teaching Ji Mo.

"Which four words?"

Ji Mo looked at his big beard, always acting a little bit, it seems that people who do such a job should be gentle and delicate, just like those dexterous hands, they will be light when handling all the details It's like dancing, but it can take care of all the corners, so that it presents the best form.

"Wash, uncover, mend, complete."

Speaking in a loud voice, Mo Bingzhong didn't go into the details of "washing", but only focused on "exposing", "This exposing is actually exposing two layers of paper, one for the back, and the other for life. Clothes, life is like tearing the skin, the clothes are not sticky, they will be taken off when you touch them, the skin is sticking to the flesh, you have to be careful..."

This analogy is really bloody enough. Listening to this, Ji Mo squeezed the skin on the back of his hand with his small hand behind his back, and then pulled a little and hurriedly released it. It hurts, it really hurts.

This kind of pain can also make people feel some of the importance.

At this point, Mo Bingzhong’s speech came to an end. He did not elaborate on how to create a careful method, but he was more focused and serious in his work, and his movements were slower than before, so slow that he would check whether the painting was damaged every time he tore a little bit. core, or slowly tear off the life paper while strictly preventing the core from being damaged.

His movements were gentle, which took a lot of time for this step. When it was completely torn off, Ji Mo heaved a sigh of relief, only feeling that he could relax a little until now.

The completely dismantled painting core is not very good-looking, like a person whose clothes have been stripped, it is bare and somewhat cramped, and it can be seen that it is not very neat when laid on the table. The paper was damaged and some fine fibers can be seen.

Ji Mo frowned, looking at it this way, he always felt that the destruction was more complete.

The clothes that had dried up on the wound were torn off directly, probably forming a scar like this.

Perhaps influenced by Mo Bingzhong's description, Ji Mo looked at the core of the painting as if he were looking at a tortured person. After peeling, is it filled?

Washing, exposing, mending, and completing, taking these four points as a major step, after peeling off the backing paper and life paper continuously, the only remaining painting core needs to be completed.

Needless to say, supplement, just look at the wormholes on the painting to understand, there should be a supplementary meaning, so what?

whole?

For a moment, Ji Mo couldn't imagine whether the last step was re-framing, and that was all.

But at this stage, after only completing this step, Mo Bingzhong didn't do it anymore. It was getting dark, and they still don't have much income. Every day, they eat the food they saved before, and they have to light the lamp to cook oil. What a waste.

Putting the restoration work on hold for the time being, Mo Bingzhong asked Ji Mo to stay at home, went outside for a while, and brought back dinner when he came back. Big cities are much better than small villages, but just after the famine, many food is not available. Rich, Ji Mo, who has been making steamed buns and pickles for several days, looked at the same wrapping paper, and his eyes dimmed. This is really not as good as vegetable soup.

At least the vegetable soup made by the sisters still takes care of the taste as much as possible, now... When Mo Bingzhong took out a small paper bag from his arms and opened it, and saw the delicious chicken inside, Ji Mo's eyes widened. Light.

"Like me, I love meat."

As Mo Bingzhong said, he put down the paper bag, and patted Ji Mo's head. Seeing that Ji Mo reached out to grab the meat without haste, he smiled and picked up a small piece of chicken, and stuffed it into his mouth. "Eat carefully, don't get your throat stuck by the bone."

The chicken is not fat, and the cooking level is not very good. You can feel that the chicken seems to be a bit rough, but the taste after it is really in the mouth makes people feel happy here, and they don't want to leave.

Ji Mo ate happily, and pushed the chicken into the side of his cheek. He didn't forget to greet Mo Bingzhong: "Daddy eats too. Daddy is tired today, so he must eat more."

While talking, he went to get hot water for Mo Bingzhong to drink. The stove was still burning, and the firewood was easy. You can light a handful of hay in the yard for a while. If there is no tea, just put two petals , Ji Mo has carefully identified that the flower should be a wild chrysanthemum, and the taste is similar, so there should be no trouble eating it.

The bowls and chopsticks are all ready-made from the yard. They have been scalded with hot water and cleaned carefully. There should be no problems. Ji Mo has always been careful about hygiene, and he will never ignore the places that can be particular about. Now, Mo Bingzhong will live a rougher life. He can sleep peacefully without washing his face, feet or hair. If he catches lice, he can put them in his mouth and bite them before spitting them out. , I'm afraid it's really no different from a tramp.

But when conditions permit, who is willing to be a tramp?Ji Mo believes that his son is so favored, apart from the invisible aura given by the system, there must be a reason why he can be a little housekeeper in life and take good care of Mo Bingzhong.
