I Can Extract Abilities From Antiques

Xia Heze didn't care about Xie Si's ridicule, and directly admitted: "It's alright, I'm just a person who doesn't know how to do it."

"Okay, leave this to me." Xie Si agreed.

This is mainly for the face of the old man Chen, otherwise he will not do this thankless work himself.

But for Xie Si's kindness, Hu Muzhi smiled and shook his head: "Fourth Master, to tell you the truth, when this thing is repaired, it must be exactly the same as before."

"Old?" Xie Si was taken aback.

"Repair, to be precise," Hu Muzhi corrected.

In fact, the two meanings are similar, but the repair is obviously better than the old one.

"This..." Xie Si stared at the backgammon board and looked at it carefully, shook his head and said, "I can do it roughly the same, but if it's exactly the same, I'm afraid I can't do it."

Hu Muzhi did not intend to let Xie Si do it himself. Although he is an expert in making furniture, he is almost meaningless when it comes to restoration and old craftsmanship.

This opened the mouth and said: "So don't bother you to take action, I'll do it."

"Huh?" Xie Si looked at Hu Muzhi suspiciously and said, "You still know this craft?"

Before Hu Muzhi could speak, Xia Heze, who was beside him, took the lead and said, "Muzhi, I think it's better to let Fourth Master Xie come."

In his opinion, Hu Muzhi is not a few years older than himself, even if he knows the craftsmanship of repairing and old-fashioning, he is definitely not as professional as the fourth master of Xie.

"You have no confidence in me?" Hu Muzhi asked with a smile.

"It's not that I'm not confident, I just think Fourth Master Xie is more professional." Xia Heze said truthfully.

"Fourth Master Xie still has things to do, how can he repair this small object." Hu Muzhi shook his head, looked at Fourth Master Xie, and continued: "Fourth Master, let me play with an axe in front of you."

"Hahaha." Xie Si laughed: "Brother Hu, please do."

At this moment, he also wanted to see Hu Muzhi's craftsmanship.

After all, even he can't be exactly the same, can this young man who is more than 20 years younger than himself do it?

"Then I'm welcome." Hu Muzhi nodded and led Xia Heze towards the backyard of the shop.

Although the storefront of Linmufang is indeed small, the backyard is huge.

In the yard, not only are all kinds of hardwood furniture piled up, but also several old masters are working.

Because of the antique furniture, many things need to be maintained.

"The old red sandalwood materials are all piled up there, you can go and pick it yourself." Xie Si pointed to a corner of the yard and said.

Hu Muzhi nodded, looking for it.

Finally, Hu Muzhi found a broken stool leg.

After smelling it, and weighing it in his hand, there is no doubt that the red sandalwood is made of red sandalwood.

I found the old red sandalwood material, and the next step is to make it into the shape of a circle.

This was originally a carpentry job, but Hu Muzhi knew a little bit, so he did it in a decent manner.

As the so-called layman watches the fun, the expert watches the doorway.

Xie Si could see at a glance that Hu Muzhi's carpentry skills were quite steady, comparable to those of some old carpenters.

Of course, what he cares most about is not Hu Muzhi's carpentry work, but the old-fashioned work after that.

Soon, a new enclosure with the same length and width as the backgammon board was made by Hu Muzhi.

However, the color of the Weizi at this time is far from the backgammon board.

So the next step is to make it old.

This is also the moment Xie Si is most looking forward to.

Hu Muzhi first asked Fourth Master Xie for some hot water, and then poured the hot water into a stainless steel washbasin.

Immediately, pour a pack of fuchsia powder bought from the pharmacy on the road into the washbasin, and stir well.

All done.

Only then did Hu Muzhi put the newly made red sandalwood enclosure into the washbasin.

Although it is wood, due to the high density of red sandalwood, it will sink to the bottom in seconds when placed in water.

Hu Muzhi silently counted the time in his heart.

Five minutes later, Hu Muzhi took out the newly-made girdle.

At this moment, the color of this perimeter has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The original purple-black position has become purple-red purple-red.

This is actually a wood charring effect.

Then, put the thing in a ventilated place and let it dry naturally.

While drying, Xia Heze couldn't help but ask, "Muzhi, why has this skirt changed color?"

"Don't ask, it must be because of the powder." Xie Siye was very excited at the same time as he guessed.

Compared with the time-consuming and labor-intensive method that he knows, throwing furniture into a cesspool for a week, then taking it out and exposing it to the sun, repeating this dozens of times, is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Right now, this method is really unheard of for him.

In fact, this is not because Xie Si's cognition is insufficient, but because this method was invented by later generations.
