A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

Seeing Li Yi's direct admission, Cai Yi and Geng Wanhua couldn't sit still, so they couldn't help but adjust their sitting postures.

Guan Yue was very calm. Hearing the words, he just nodded with a smile, and then continued to ask: "Then, what do you think, how sure are you that you can reproduce the success?"

On the side, Guan Xue's eyes suddenly dropped.

She found that when Guan Yue asked this question, Guan Yue's hand holding the chair suddenly clenched a little bit.

She was a little puzzled, Dad is very concerned about this issue?

"Ten percent."

Li Yi said something with a smile.

Guan Yue's expression didn't change when he heard that, but a trace of excitement flashed in his cloudy eyes.

When Cai Yi and Geng Wanhua across the dining table heard Li Yi's words, they laughed out loud.

"Mr. Li."

Cai Yi looked at Li Yi and said seriously: "Believe me, our museum has definitely put in the most effort in re-engraving the cloisonné craftsmanship. This matter is definitely not as simple as you imagined."

Geng Wanhua on the side also nodded, and said to Li Yi: "I understand, no one is willing to sell such a precious set of bowls.

The issue of money can be discussed, but if you have the idea that you would rather destroy it than give it to others, then it is a bit inappropriate. "

Seeing their serious expressions, Li Yi put away his smile and asked sternly, "I think the two experts may have a little preconceived ideas. Why do you all think that I can't reproduce it successfully?"

Geng Wanhua glanced at Guan Yue, seeing that Guan Yue didn't speak, he explained to Li Yi: "Don't worry, is the cloisonne production process you learned about the version recorded in "Ri Xia Jiu Wen Kao"?

In fact, several ancient books have recorded the process of cloisonne, but it is impossible to reproduce this level of handicraft with only a few words of records.

We all know that the special feature of cloisonne lies in its shape, pattern, color and light.

An exquisite cloisonne vessel must first have a good shape, which depends on the craftsmanship of the tire.

Secondly, it also has a beautiful decorative pattern, which depends on the technique of filigree.

Thirdly, it also needs to have a gorgeous color, which depends on the preparation of the blue material.

Finally, it must have a brilliant luster, which is accomplished by sanding and gilding.

On the whole, it is the ultimate craft integrating art, craft, carving, inlay, smelting, metallurgy and other professional technologies. It is the pinnacle technology of traditional handicrafts and a bright pearl in Chinese culture! "

Speaking of this, Geng Wanhua was a little excited, and his breathing became a little short.

"Unfortunately, because of the war, this ultimate craftsmanship has been lost."

He sighed regretfully, and said with embarrassment: "We have tried many times to reproduce cloisonne, but all of them failed, and a lot of Mr. Guan's funds were wasted. I am really ashamed."

As he spoke, he looked up at Guan Yue.

But Guan Yue smiled and waved his hands to show relief.

Seeing this, Geng Wanhua was in a better mood, and then continued: "You should know that the basis of making cloisonne is to make embryos, filigree and silk.

At this step, we have achieved some success, at least we can make the embryo, and we can also stick the copper wire on the carcass.

But the real difficulty in making cloisonné lies in spotting and burning indigo. We have tried many times before and after this level, but there is no way to break through, and we have lost a lot of cloisonne utensils. "

When he said this, his emotions became a little excited again, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Seeing this, Cai Yi sighed and added: "If you want to burn cloisonne into a good-looking color, the correct ratio of blue materials is the key.

But in all the ancient books that can be queried, there is no record of what the blue material of cloisonné is made of.

We tried to strip some blue materials from the existing cloisonné utensils for analysis, but only the proportions of some basic elements were analyzed.

If you want to use natural elements to mix the same color blue material, you need to conduct more and more detailed analysis tests, and you need to strip more colors and more areas of blue material.

We have calculated that if we want to use the exhaustive method to deduce all the blue materials of colors, I am afraid that all the existing cloisonne utensils will be destroyed, and there is no way to strip the blue materials..."

Having said that, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Geng Wanhua calmed down a bit, then stared at Li Yi and said solemnly: "Mr. Li Yi, I know that you value this set of bowls very much, and so do we.

For this lost craft, these surviving utensils are the only remaining evidence of its existence.

Because of our arrogance and recklessness, many cloisonne utensils have been damaged. This is the stain of our life and the thorn in our hearts.

Therefore, we really can't bear to see such a set of precious cloisonné bowls being destroyed again, I hope you can understand. "

Hearing what they said, Li Yi's expression became more serious.

If you don’t listen, you don’t know, it turns out that they have really put in so much effort to reproduce the cloisonne craftsmanship.

Although these efforts are a bit of a waste of time, at least the starting point is good.

However, although these words sound very touching, isn't their purpose still to let him take out the Wanshou Wujiang Bowl?

Seeing that Li Yi was silent, Guan Yue who was at the side suddenly said, "Xiao Li, can you listen to me tell a story?"

Hearing him speak, Li Yi raised his head and responded to him: "Say it."

Guan Yue stroked the armrest of the seat, looked at the mid-air in front of him, and fell into memories.

"When I was young, I loved to make troubles, I was full of enthusiasm, I went to serve as a soldier, and I wanted to defend my family and the country.

But after I actually went to the battlefield, I realized that it's good to be alive.

Later, I changed jobs and returned to my hometown. Because of my sufficient education, I worked as a university teacher for several years, teaching history at school.

But the liberal arts are not popular. Although he has a reputation as a university teacher, his salary is only that.

It just happened to catch up with the high and low tide at that time, and many people went to Shencheng to do business and exchanged stock subscription certificates.

I wanted to go, but I had no money, so I brought a cloisonne jar with a large lid and dragon pattern from the Xuande period handed down from my family. I knew foreigners would buy this.

When I arrived in Shencheng, I found a way to contact a few Yingguo people, and sold them the big lid jar. I sold it for 200,000 yuan, and I got the first start-up capital. "

Listening to his story, Li Yi said with a smile: "Your experience is quite magical. The two hundred thousand that year was not a small amount!"

"That's right."

Guan Yue twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "With the two hundred thousand, I made more than four million, a twenty-fold increase, and then directly invested in Shencheng, opened a small electronics factory, and worked for a few years. He made a fortune and made a lot of money.”

Speaking of this, he paused, sighed, and said in a complicated tone: "That big covered jar is a family heirloom handed down from my grandfather's generation, and my grandfather kept it during the war.

But he didn't know that I, an unworthy descendant, actually sold all the family heirlooms in order to earn some money.

After I earn money, I want to buy back that big jar.

I have made up my mind, as long as the other party is willing to sell, even if the price is a hundred times higher, I am willing to buy it.

But I didn't expect that when I found the big covered jar again, it had already been stored in the Great Eagle Museum. "
