A treasure-appraisal maniac

Speaking of regaining freedom, the eyes of the Ruan brothers were full of yearning, but Ruan Xu scoffed in an instant.

"Zhou Haiqing, please stop lying to us."

"How many things have our Ruan family done for the Zhongtian family in the past hundred years?"

"We don't ask for anything in return. We just want to return to China, but this has become a luxury."

"We still have value, how could the Nakata family let us go so easily?"

Zhou Haiqing smiled and said.

"Mr. Ruan Xu, please rest assured that this time it must be true."

"Mr. Nakata has released information on the official website of Zhengcangyuan. After completing this task, the Nakata family will cancel the century-old labor contract with your Ruan family eight years in advance."

"So, if you complete the mission this time, you can definitely regain your freedom."

"Are you telling the truth?" Ruan Xu asked in shock.

Zhou Hai checked his mobile phone and played a video in front of Ruan Xu and Ruan Hao.

After watching the video, the Ruan brothers burst into tears with excitement.

After a long time, Ruan Xu wiped away his tears and said heavily.

"Okay, I will trust you this time, Xiaohao, let's do the work."

In the hotel room, Lu Fei's teeth were itching with hatred. Needless to say, the Ruan family must have been blackmailed by the island country's little devils and signed some kind of century-old labor treaty.

However, it was not a labor contract at all. It was actually a contract to sell oneself to the Nakata family as a domestic slave for a hundred years.

Damn you little devils, these bastards are simply too easy to kill!

Lu Fei asked Wang Xinlei to search the official website of the island country Shosoin, but there was no post from Mr. Nakata at all.

Needless to say, the Ruan brothers were deceived again.

Damn little Nakata, you want to have sex for nothing!

After saying work, the Ruan brothers, who were exhausted just now, instantly came back to life with full blood, and their eyes were full of excitement.

Go to the hall and turn on the stove to boil the potion prepared in advance.

Boil, then select a container from two boxes of broken porcelain pieces and boil them in potion. This is called desizing.

The purpose of this step is to remove the earthy smell and various impurities from the porcelain tiles to prepare for subsequent repairs.

Generally this process takes at least a full day.

Deslurrying is a necessary step in the traditional restoration of artifacts, and this step has the biggest drawback.

Once cooked in this way, the original natural patina on the porcelain tiles will no longer be preserved, and the patina will have to be re-done later.

But no matter how you do it, there will always be a difference between natural patina and artificial patina, which can be easily distinguished by experts.

From this point of view, Lu Fei's methods are much better than theirs.

For more than an hour, only nine finished pieces were selected from two boxes of hundreds of broken porcelain pieces, which were put into potion and boiled one by one. The other two women were responsible for picking up the remaining scraps.

Ignoring the cooking process here, the Ruan brothers took out the remaining utensils they had cleaned before and started repairing them.

Gluing, bonding, inlaying, patchwork, glue repair, etc. are all traditional Chinese repair techniques, and the two of them are quite skilled in using them.

The bonded device needs to be air-dried. After air-drying, the glue needs to be replenished and then air-dried.

No matter how many times the glue is applied, it should be done until it is perfect.

Finally, a layer of wax is applied to the surface of the finished vessel, then covered with clay and placed in the oven for a second calcining.

Lu Fei meticulously watched the repair process of the two brothers.

Ruan Xu repaired a Longquan kiln white porcelain bowl composed of eight broken porcelain pieces, which took nearly four hours.

Although there is no comparison with Lu Fei's speed, looking at China today, such efficiency is already top-notch.

Even faster than those great masters who specialize in repairing porcelain

a lot of.

This has exceeded Lu Fei's expectations.

At this time, it would be easy for Lu Fei to bring out the Ruan brothers.

But before finding the source of Yellow River porcelain, Lu Fei could not act rashly and had to let the two brothers continue to suffer.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Zhou Haiqing left the accessories factory with five repaired pieces of porcelain, and Lu Fei asked Gao Meng to continue following him.

In the next two days, the Ruan brothers only rested for less than two hours a day on average, and worked non-stop the rest of the time.

Two days later, all nine pieces of porcelain in the hall's inventory were repaired, and the deliveryman Lu Fei was waiting for finally arrived.

Two days later, in the early morning, a large van with a Luojing license plate drove into the parts factory and parked in front of the office building.

The driver asked two security guards to carry the four wooden boxes to the basement door, and then the two women in the basement came out and carried the boxes in.

When the new goods arrived, the poor Ruan brothers slept for less than three hours before they were woken up again and put into work.

The van did not leave in a hurry after unloading the boxes, but drove to the warehouse of the parts factory.

After the workers went to work in the morning, boxes of packed accessories were loaded into the van.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, the van left the parts factory, and Lu Fei and others drove two cars to follow it from a distance.

Two and a half hours later, Lu Fei and others followed the van to Luojing, the thousand-year imperial capital.

Luojing has a history of more than 5,000 years of civilization, 4,000 years of city building, and more than 1,500 years of capital building. 105 emperors have settled here in Kyushu.

Luojing is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization and an important hub of the Sui and Tang Dynasty Grand Canal.

Peony is famous all over the world because of Luojing, which is known as the "Thousand-year Imperial Capital and Peony Flower City".

After getting off the expressway, the van did not enter Luojing City, but took a detour to the North Ring Road to reach the distance

Hekou County is more than 40 kilometers away from the urban area.

In the North District of Hekou County, the van drove into the Luojing Automobile Suspension Factory.

This factory covers an area of ​​fifty acres, which is much larger than the parts factory in Wutong County.

The office building alone has twelve floors.

Next to the suspension factory is a construction site, and the enclosed area is surprisingly large.

Because it is winter, the construction site is temporarily suspended.

The north wind blows and raises the sky full of wind and sand.

There are hotels across the street from the Suspension Factory. Lu Fei and others opened four rooms on the top floor of the tallest hotel, the Kelaishun Hotel.

Ma Tengyun was left to watch the situation at the suspension factory and the construction site, while the others went to a nearby mutton restaurant for lunch.

Zhongzhou’s red braised mutton and clear stewed mutton are quite famous.

In the cold winter, it is so comfortable to have a meal of mutton and a bowl of mutton soup.

This mutton restaurant has two floors. The hall downstairs was steaming and already overcrowded. Lu Fei and others asked for a private room and went straight to the second floor.

After sitting down, the waiter takes the order.

Lu Fei asked.

"Beauty, is the suspension factory across the street run by one of your locals?"

The little beautiful waiter curled her lips exaggeratedly and said.

"Alas"

"People here can't afford to open such a big factory. It was run by the little devils from the island country."

"The wages for people who work there are terrifyingly high."

"When I apply for a job, people think my education is too low and I don't want to apply for it. Otherwise, I wouldn't smell the smell of mutton here!"

The waiter's exaggerated expression and humorous tone made everyone laugh.

Wang Xinlei was in a good mood and even gave the little beauty a tip of 200 yuan. But the little beauty was so happy that she called him "big brother" and "big brother".
