How did I become an old artist?

Chapter 154 It is estimated that all museums across the country will be looking for you!
During this period of time, Zhao Chen has been busy with paper making.

Before I knew it, it was already early March.

During the Song Dynasty, paper was made in winter, and at this time in previous years, Chengxintang paper was just made.

The literati, poets and poets became agitated, inquiring everywhere, just to buy a good piece of paper.

Looking at the stack of Chengxintang papers that had been made, Zhao Chen was filled with joy.

It's finally done!
In this way, ink and paper have been prepared, and he has also made inkstones for Ru kiln porcelain.

The four treasures of the study, brushes, inks, papers and inkstones, are inferior to good writing brushes.

The brushes of modern technology have far exceeded the level of ancient skills.

Therefore, Zhao Chen only needs to find a company that specializes in making brushes and order a few of the best brushes.

In this way, the preparatory work is considered complete.

The rest is creation.

However, Zhao Chen felt that the scenery he saw was not enough.

There is a creative model in my mind, but when I write, I feel that my reserves are not enough to fill the painting scroll.

After all, the horizontal length of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is 1191.5 cm, which is more than 10 meters, and the vertical length is 51.5 cm, which is also half a meter high.

Under such an area, every detail is different. There are mountains and rivers, trees and flowers, and the difficulty can be imagined.

If you don’t see enough great rivers and mountains, and just rely on the existing reserves to paint them, then a discerning person will know that most of the mountain scenes in this painting are repetitive things.

How can such a picture be called a thousand miles of rivers and mountains?

After Zhao Chen finished the paper, he planned to go home first to see the little ones.

At this time, Liu Jun, the curator of the Southern Song Dynasty Guanyao Museum, called him.

The two are old acquaintances, and Liu Jun is very polite to Zhao Chen.

"Director Liu, if you have anything to say, just tell me." After a few polite words, Zhao Chen said.

"Ah, that's right." Liu Jun got down to business, "You made a video of Song imitating Chengxintang paper, and people from the Provincial Museum saw it."

"You also know that the Provincial Museum has a lot of paintings and calligraphy from the Song Dynasty, and several works need to be repaired."

"So, the people from the Provincial Museum want to see if the paper you made is very different from the paper used in ancient paintings."

"If it's not too big, this kind of paper can be used to repair cultural relics."

The Provincial Museum is located in the West Lake District of Zhejiang City, and its level is higher than that of the Southern Song Dynasty Official Kiln Museum.

There are many exquisite cultural relics collections here.

Zhao Chen readily agreed to Liu Jun's question: "No problem, I make a lot of paper, and I still have some spare time for my own use. I can let the people over there come over."

"That's great, but it's not certain. After all, the Chengxintang in the Song Dynasty is scarce, and it's very difficult to restore the similarity. If the fiber structure inside is the same, it's unlikely." Liu said. Jun said again.

Hearing this, Zhao Chen just smiled.

Then, after the two chatted for a few words, Zhao Chen hung up the phone.

The raw materials of Chengxintang paper he made were selected according to the records of the papermaking method of the Song Dynasty, and the details were also restored according to the records.

The fiber structure inside is of course exactly the same.

Therefore, regarding this point, Zhao Chen was not worried at all.

Then, Zhao Chen returned to the mountain village.

The village chief Zhu Chi came to look for him as soon as he came back.

Knowing that Zhao Chen is a big shot now, Zhu Chi couldn't help feeling deeply moved.

In a small village like Nuwa Village, it is generally difficult for any powerful people to appear. The most powerful people are nothing more than working hard to make money and become rich.

But Zhao Chen is different.

There are quite a few powerful people who came to Zhao Chen alone.

This shows that Zhao Chen's connections are very strong, and it also shows that his status is very high.

Moreover, the township held a meeting, and the township leader emphasized Zhao Chen's matter with Zhu Chi, asking him to protect Zhao Chen, saying that this was an instruction from the city.

Zhu Chi was a little surprised by the emphasis of the township leaders, but he also kept it in his heart.

"Village chief, what do you want from me?" Zhao Chen saw the village chief come in and poured him a cup of hot tea.

Although Zhao Chen himself doesn't like to drink tea, he still prepared some at home to entertain guests.

"It's not a big deal. The farmhouse has developed very well in the past two years. People are willing to come to some recreational activities. I want to build a tourist village and transform the front of the village into a tourist attraction."

Zhu Chi explained his intention.

The entrance of Nuwa Village is relatively lively, and it is very close to the town, only a twenty-minute drive away.

The place where Zhao Chen is located is relatively high, and it will take another ten minutes to get there.

"This is a good thing. The surrounding area is Tianmu Mountain Scenic Area. The scenery is good, and there are many tourists here."

"We transformed a farmhouse scenic area and built more homestays, and the effect is very good."

Zhao Chen exclaimed.

"However, there is a lack of funds now, so let me ask you if you are willing to invest in shares."

"I have asked several rich people in the village."

"If you buy a share, the dividend will be divided according to the equity."

"If it's lively, it should be able to pay back in three to five years!"

Zhu Chi took a sip of tea and asked nervously.

"It's okay to buy shares, how much do you need?" Zhao Chen is not very short of money now, if he can do something for the village without causing trouble for himself, he would be happy.

Zhao Chen didn't like those troublesome things. For example, in some places, rich people built roads in the village, but in the end, villagers stopped them and refused to let them repair them without paying.

I can't understand the thinking of these people at all, and they will do anything to extort money.

If you buy shares now, you only need to give money, and then wait for the dividends, naturally there is no problem.

"I've found a few big families. It's best if you can pay 100 million. The money will go into the account and be announced. Don't worry, there will be nothing tricky." Zhu Chi promised.

Zhu Chi has been the head of the village for many years, and his work is very reliable and trustworthy.

"Village chief, no problem, I can afford it." Zhao Chen immediately replied.

He didn't say much, and he didn't try to say how much he wanted to chase.The fact that the wealth is not disclosed makes the village head think that this is his best limit.

"That's fine, just this matter, I really trouble you." The village chief said with great emotion.

"It's nothing troublesome. I think our tourism project has a bright future. How can this investment be troublesome?" Zhao Chen replied with a smile.

Zhu Chi exchanged a few words with Zhao Chen, and then left contentedly, looking in a good mood.

Zhao Chen didn't feel anything.

At noon, Zhao Chen drove to the supermarket below to buy meat.

Seeing Zhao Chen appear, the butcher's old Li immediately greeted him: "Zhao Chen, I heard that you also invested 100 million, which is amazing, and you are the major shareholder."

"My child said that your live broadcast is so popular, you must have made a lot of money."

Zhao Chen picked out the meat, and replied with a light smile: "I turned on the live broadcast and turned off the gift function, and I didn't sign a contract with the platform, so I couldn't make any money. I made some money by making porcelain, which was just enough to live on."

"Don't open the gift function? What are you thinking? I heard that other anchors like you have earned hundreds of millions!" Old Wang also knew about this, and said again.

"My live broadcast is just a hobby, and I don't want to involve too much." Zhao Chen didn't say any more, paid the money, and left leisurely.

Old Wang can only say a few words with emotion, people who have gone to college are amazing.

Zhao Chen drove back to the yard, planning to make a meal of Dongpo Pork in Honey Sauce.

Just about to start, there was the sound of parking outside.

Knowing that there were guests coming, the two little foxes immediately crawled along the shelf against the wall to the top of the wall, and then lay down on the top of the wall to look at the visitors outside.

Zhao Chen's small courtyard is antique, and there are two little foxes on the wall, this scene is particularly interesting.

The person who came was a researcher from the Provincial Museum. He wore a pair of glasses and looked refined.

This person is also a doctor of cultural relics, and has professional research and identification ability on the history of cultural relics.

Nowadays, after professional training and education, coupled with creative thinking, young people are no less capable than those highly respected experts.

It's just that most young people are not famous, and people are unwilling to praise him.

"Master Zhao, are you home?" Lu Yu knocked on the door and shouted.

"Here we come!" Zhao Chen opened the door and let Lu Yu in.

"Master Zhao, I'm a researcher at the Zhejiang Provincial Museum. My name is Lu Yu. We have contacted by phone." Lu Yu immediately explained.

"Well, read the paper, no problem, I'll get it for you." Zhao Chen let Lu Yu in.

At this moment, when two big white geese saw Lu Yu, they fluttered their wings, showed a fierce look, and rushed over directly.

"Peasant, Haonan, stop!" Zhao Chen immediately shouted.

Lu Yu was taken aback, but fortunately Zhao Chen blocked him, otherwise the two big white geese would have rushed straight up.

"Master Zhao, you are so fierce!" Lu Yu sighed with emotion.

"No, the down jacket you're wearing is goose down, right? The first time I wore a goose down jacket, they hated me, and it was better to change to a duck down jacket later on." Zhao Chen explained.

"Oh, there's another matter." Lu Yu hurriedly took off his down jacket and put it back in the car, and then came back wearing only a warm sweater.

Sure enough, the two big white geese calmed down a lot.

He sat in the room, and then, Zhao Chen went back to the room and took out three pieces of Chengxintang paper from Song Fang.

Lu Yu immediately became a little excited when he saw the Chengxintang paper.

He still thinks that the paper made by Zhao Chen is only close to Song Fang Chengxintang paper, but if the difference is not too big, it can be used.

Zhao Chen put the paper on the table.

Lu Yu took out his magnifying glass, lay down on the paper, and began to study carefully.

He is studying the texture and thickness of the paper, but also the thickness and uniformity of the paper.

The field of cultural relics repair that Lu Yu is in charge of is calligraphy and painting cultural relics.

There are many aspects to the restoration of cultural relics. Some masters are good at repairing porcelain, some masters are good at repairing metal objects, and some are good at repairing stone carvings. Lu Yu is in the field of calligraphy and painting cultural relics.

Therefore, he has a very high understanding of rice paper.

Looking at the smooth jade-like paper, Lu Yu was a little shocked.

Inside look at the doorway.

He could tell that the quality of these sheets of paper was definitely the top rice paper.

Just like a wine taster, you can know the raw materials and origin of wine after taking a sip of wine.

Cultural relic restorers also have the ability to judge authenticity at a glance in the identification of cultural relics.

"It is the style of Song imitation Chengxintang paper, even the texture and thickness are the same."

Lu Yu muttered to himself.

"It's so well done, it's very close to the original version!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Zhao Chen replied calmly: "It's not very close, this is Song Fangcheng's paper, it's exactly the same."

"I have come into contact with the real Chengxintang paper from Song Dynasty, and I have seen the details of Chengxintang paper from Song Dynasty. I restored it completely according to its characteristics. This is the original version."

Seeing Zhao Chen's confident appearance, Lu Yu's expression was filled with shock.

Lu Yu felt that what Zhao Chen said was true.

If this is the case, then this matter is a bit big.

"Master Zhao, can I bring a piece of paper to compare with the cultural relics in the museum?" Lu Yu asked again.

It can't be completely determined just by looking at it with the naked eye. The paper must be disassembled and measured with a professional instrument.

"It needs to be tested and verified, right? These are finished papers. I will use them in my future creations, so I can't give them to you."

"However, when I was making paper, there was a problem with cutting a piece of paper. The shape was irregular, but the quality was the same. You can take it back and study it."

With that said, Zhao Chen went to fetch the half piece of paper that failed to be cut.

He had to make 92 sheets of paper to dry, and it was inevitable that there would be mistakes. Some parts of this paper overlapped when it was dried, and it was no longer usable.

Therefore, there is nothing to verify for the museum.

"Thank you very much. If it is the real Song Fang Chengxintang paper, the museum will definitely contact you."

"As far as I know, there are many cultural relics from the Song Dynasty to be repaired, but there is not a single copy of Chengxintang in the Song Dynasty."

"If it proves correct, museums across the country will probably look for you."
