Hello, 1983

Looking at the exquisite pieces of porcelain, especially the large blue-and-white jar, it was like the parents in this pile of antique porcelain, and the smile on Liu Qingshan's face never stopped.

This trip to the capital is worth it!

As for the maintenance and storage of these antiques, it is better to leave it to a professional like him when Master Lu returns.

In addition, Liu Qingshan felt at ease because he had to keep two dogs in this yard.

At this time, people don't pay much attention to antiques and the like, and it is estimated that no one cares about these old pots and pans.

In the 1990s, it will be different. If it is not good, you will have to get some big safes to store these treasures.

In the future, let's talk about it later. Liu Qingshan's thought is that he will learn from Mr. Ma who runs a private museum in the future, and then he will also get a museum.

But it's better to keep it in mind for now.

After explaining to Uncle Lao Mao'er, Liu Qingshan remembered something equally important.

"Uncle Master, do you know the experts who restore paintings and calligraphy? I have some ancient paintings on hand, and I need professionals to repair them."

The more than ten ancient paintings that I brought are still kept in the big suitcase.

The old hat said twice: "Xiao Shanzi, do you know where we live?"

"Dongchang, it's Liulichang!"

"Let's put it here in the past. It is the place where the candidates who entered the Beijing scientific examination gathered. The shops selling books and ink, paper and inkstones are the most, and of course the style is the most important."

Speaking of some allusions of the capital, the old hat is not as bold as his appearance shows:

"The second uncle who introduced you to the house, do you know what he was doing before he retired? It's the old master from Rong Baozhai across the street, who specializes in repairing calligraphy and painting."

In Liu Qingshan's mind, the spare ribs of the second uncle appeared, and he immediately patted his thigh: Isn't that the spine of a book bound by thread?

Since it was so far in the horizon, Liu Qingshan followed the old hat back to the small courtyard where the uncle lived the next morning to visit the second uncle.

For a formal visit, of course, you can't do it empty-handed, carrying two boxes of eight large pieces.

these pastries,

The old capital is collectively referred to as pastry, not dim sum.

"Hey, you are being polite, I don't dare to be, I don't dare to be."

The second uncle was polite, and warmly let the two people into the room.

After making tea, sitting down and chatting, Liu Qingshan realized that the second uncle's surname was Bai, ranking second, and his ancestors were also in the flag, so he called Bai Erye.

Waiting for Liu Qingshan to explain his intention, Second Master Bai shook his head: "Old man, my eyes can't go up, I'm afraid of ruining your good things."

Liu Qingshan looked at the old man's fairly clear eyes, and knew that most of these words were refusals.

If you think about it, you can understand that repairing ancient paintings and calligraphy is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is normal to spend three or two months for a painting. Can you tell me how to charge?

If it is too much, you feel that you are in a panic. If it is less, this labor is too cheap.

The most important thing is that if something goes wrong, it will be thankless.

After some deliberation, Liu Qingshan said again: "Second uncle, I have a proposal, you can see if this will work."

"Why don't you just go to work at my place, work for a few hours during the day, go home for dinner when it's time for lunch, and rest when you have a break at noon. How many hours do you drive in Rongbaozhai each month? I will give you as much money as you want, and there will be bonuses for good work."

The second uncle's eyes lit up as well, and his wife, who came to pour tea next to him, also kept winking at him.

Seeing that he didn't spit out, the little-footed old lady said, "You damn old man, our eldest grandson is about to get married, and when the time comes, we want a refrigerator, color TV, etc. Where can you get it?"

In the past, three turns and one sound, now starting from big cities, has been upgraded.

The second uncle glared at his wife: "What do you know, bitch, how much calligraphy and painting can Xiaoshanzi restore, and the money is paid for nothing, and I feel uneasy."

The elders have their own rules of conduct.

When Liu Qingshan heard that there was a door, he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and continued:

"There are other things to do. If you usually want to go for a walk, just ask my uncle to pull you and walk around. There are calligraphy and paintings that catch your eyes, and help me get them back."

"If I change hands and make another profit, won't you be successful?"

Although I said so, I have long made up my mind: in terms of collection, I belong to the Pixiu, and I can only enter.

When Bai Erye heard this, he nodded and agreed: "little man, then I will accept your favor. From now on, I will call you boss."

Liu Qingshan waved his hands again and again: "Boss, there is a boss who drives the car in our village. I will call you the second uncle, and you will call me Xiaoshanzi. It sounds so comfortable."

"That can't be done. There are rules for doing business, and the rules can't be broken."

Second Master Bai waved his hand, he also has his own persistence.

And it's still early to look at it, so I directly asked to go to Liu Qingshan's house to see those calligraphy and paintings.

As for the repair supplies and food, of course, Second Master Bai can't throw them away, they have them at home.

What supplies are needed at that time can be purchased temporarily.

"Second Master, it's a pity to throw away your old craftsmanship. Why don't you bring two apprentices?"

While walking, Liu Qingshan was chatting.

The second uncle shook his head: "How many young people today are willing to do this."

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: In a few years, this is a high-level technology, and few people want to learn it, and they can't find a master at all.

Would you like to help me find something?

Hundreds of meters away, I arrived in a short walk. When I entered the yard, I saw Gao Wenyi, who was leading the fourth and the fifth, and was tinkering with the big tank. I don't know when the goldfish were bought.

"Brother, when we come back during the winter vacation, this goldfish will definitely grow so big!"

The little old fourth gestured in his hand, and looking at the distance between her two small palms, it was already two feet, so it wasn't a goldfish?

The winter vacation is coming, is it comfortable to live here?

Liu Qingshan thinks it's not bad, maybe this year's New Year, the family can spend it here.

After entering the house, Liu Qingshan carefully opened the big suitcase, and a rotten and musty smell came out.

Seeing this situation, the second uncle didn't dare to neglect, and rushed Liu Qingshan and the old hat to the side. He put on special gloves and began to organize the scrolls inside.

Second Master Bai's movements were very gentle, and even his breathing was tense, for fear that he would accidentally blow the scroll into pieces.

After slowly unfolding a scroll on the table covered with white paper, Second Master Bai took a few steps back and shouted at Liu Qingshan:

"This thing, it is estimated that it has been stored for decades and has not been sorted out. How did you keep it, boy? It's a waste of good things!"

Liu Qingshan blinked: I am the boss?

However, he also had to admire Second Master Bai's vision, and told the experience of these ancient paintings at once.

So he said twice: "Master, you know, those years..."

The second uncle nodded: "Yes, it's a blessing to be able to sneak around and stay. Fortunately, you find me now. If you leave it for a few more years, it will really be a waste of paper."

Thinking about how many of these good things have been burnt a few years ago, the old man was heartbroken for a while.

Liu Qingshan can understand the old man's mood, so why not himself, so he comforted: "Old man, let's cherish the moment."

Cherish the moment, yes!

The second uncle gave Liu Qingshan a deep look, and then took a pen and opened a list. There were various papers on it, and there were also some preparations such as alum. It seemed that he was going to start work directly.

Running errands or something, of course, is a matter of the old hat. This is Liulichang. The most convenient way to buy these things is Rongbaozhai.

The remaining two people in the room looked at the ancient paintings on the table.

The picture is yellow, and I can't see clearly. It is mottled and full of mildew. The color of the pen and ink is also blurred, and there are many cracks.

"Second Master, can this be repaired?" Liu Qingshan looked a little hung up.

"This is pretty good, it won't take a lot of work." The second uncle didn't lift his head and looked at the ancient painting carefully.

Looking at him, he suddenly let out a light voice: "Bada Shanren is really a treasure."

Liu Qingshan didn't understand this, so he could only stare at the side and couldn't catch up. The only thing he wondered was: this is still well preserved, what is it that is not good, can you still watch it?

The second uncle glanced at him and began to whisper to himself: "Look at this bird's little eyes, cynical, it must be authentic."

"Don't worry, Xiaoshanzi, I will fix this baby for you. I don't dare to say that it will be restored to the original state. It will definitely look brand new."

Liu Qingshan only nodded at the side, but the second uncle was annoyed: "You kid, get out of here, and coax your sister to watch the goldfish!"

What is this nonsense?

Liu Qingshan walked out of the house embarrassedly, and really felt that his whole body was much more relaxed, so he happily took care of their own small yard with the fourth and fifth.

Days passed without knowing it, and a week later, the first ancient painting was successfully restored.

In this, of course, the second master Bai was up early and late in the night, and put in a lot of effort.

Liu Qingshan also understood his thoughts: after all, he had to show his craftsmanship to the boss, and he would not take money for nothing.

"Boy, come in and take a look."

The second uncle took the lead and entered the house with his hands behind his back.

Liu Qingshan and the others followed closely, as did the fourth and fifth. The children were very curious, and they wanted to see it for a long time.

And Liu Yinfeng, who also silently followed behind.

The restored ancient paintings have been hung on the wall, and the scales are not too large.

Liu Qingshan hasn't entered this temporary studio for a few days. When he saw the painting on the wall, he rubbed his eyes hard:

"Second uncle, didn't you draw a new one?"

The painting is really new, all the mildew and cracks on the surface are gone.

The ink on the whole picture is also very clear, and even the seal can be seen clearly.

The two birds on the screen are even more lifelike, and their arrogant and contemptuous demeanor is also vivid.

When staring at the screen, Liu Qingshan felt as if he was being despised.

"Brother, that bird stares at me!"

The youngest fourth is unhappy. He pouted and complained. He didn't bother you or offended you, so why stare at people?
