Baolu Tianxing

For the next period of time, Mr. Liu taught Wu Chen various counterfeit and old-fashioned skills one by one every day, from painting and calligraphy to gold, stone, jade, porcelain and woodworking.

After thousands of years of inheritance and development, various old-fashioned methods have been innovated repeatedly. Fortunately, they have mastered this line for many years, and they have dabbled in both new and old methods. The subtleties of them made Wu Chen smack his tongue, and the more he understood why. Mr. Liu wanted to be so serious, so he gave himself a "bottom" first.

If these skills are spread casually, it is enough to stir up an uproar in the industry!Even though Wu Chen had the previous intensive training as a foundation, he was also tortured to the point of pain. If he didn't have supernatural powers to cheat, he probably wouldn't be able to tell the "things" that Mr. Liu brought out.

"How is this done?"

Wu Chen stared at a painting of a lady for a long time. With poor eyesight, he couldn't tell how it was made like this. The color, ink, etc. were all "ancient", of course he knew very well The age is wrong, this painting will not be more than ten years old, this feeling is very strange, like a baby with the face of an old man, evildoer!

Seeing that his eyes were almost on the screen, Mr. Liu smiled, this painting is his "proud work", let alone a novice like Wu Chen, even if it is placed among their old buddies, it is not easy Identify it!

In the final analysis, there are two ways to make old calligraphy and painting, one is to make old paper, silk, pen and ink first and then make paintings, or to make calligraphy and paintings first and then make old as a whole.In this painting, the paper, silk, brush and ink are first made old, then the picture is copied, and finally the finished product is processed as a whole, which can be said to be a master.

"If you are interested, I can teach you!" Mr. Liu twisted his mustache and looked at Wu Chen with a smirk on his face, almost holding him back from internal injuries. Isn't this nonsense!If I'm not interested, why am I still here.

Mr. Liu hadn't played with these for a long time, so he brought some fruits with great interest, and told Wu Chen that they were gardenia fruits, which are good raw materials for making old things like black tea.

Antiques are old, and chemical raw materials are the most taboo, which are basically minerals or organisms extracted from nature!

As Liu Lao said, he put the fruit in the water, boiled it for a while, and poured it out. The soup was burnt yellow. Cashed up.

"This is ink, this is cyan, this is ocher, gamboge..."

With Mr. Liu's stirring, soon, the liquid showed the same color as the paper and silk of calligraphy and painting.

"This is the dye solution, used to soak the new paper, and then dry it, that's it..."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple!"

Mr. Liu looked at Wu Chen who was stunned, and smiled. As the old saying goes, when teaching apprentices, masters starve to death. Some things are actually just piercing a layer of paper. It looks mysterious, but it is actually very simple. The method of soaking is as difficult as it is difficult. In terms of matching, papers from different eras and origins will have slightly different colors. How to match them is a matter of attention.

Don't be dazed, come on, do it yourself!

Mr. Liu urged Wu Chen to do it again. Seeing that the effect was mediocre, he didn't force it. The method was to tell him, and then he would practice it by himself. Anyway, it was not a valuable thing. As long as Wu Chen was willing to play, it would be fine. It doesn't matter if you mess up.

In addition to this dip-dyeing method, there are illumination methods and fumigation methods. The former uses strong light or strong ultraviolet light for long-term exposure to accelerate the aging of paper and silk; the latter uses smoke produced by burning firewood and straw. Old, or leaving the paper silk in the country stove for a long time to make it oily and smoky will make the paper silk old.However, these will take a little longer and can be used to enhance the effect in the later stage.

The purpose of learning these skills is not to really let Wu Chen make old fakes, but to be specific when identifying them. For example, the impregnated paper silk must be water-stained, dull, non-patterned and dark, and have subtle shades. color halo.And the paper silk that is smoky and illuminated is also dull, and the color of the smoky light will be uneven in depth and has a smoky smell.Moreover, this kind of old paper is angry and lacks a sense of natural simplicity.

Of course, this process is a process of fighting wits and courage, and the competition is about who has "sophisticated" skills and eyesight. What Wu Chen made is almost horrible, but what Liu Lao made, if he didn't use supernatural powers, Wu Chen wouldn't be able to see it at all. No matter what the smell of smoke and fire, it will not make people dissatisfied.

Making old is a laborious and lengthy process. Things like calligraphy and painting that can be put together physically, such as new paintings on the old base, re-framed old paintings, and even exposing paintings, are relatively fast. They can be made almost the same in a few days. If it is jade, porcelain, etc., it will take a long time.

Wu Chen paid close attention to everything. Those who were able to do experiments were done first, and those that needed time were done first, and those that were buried in the soil were left for later verification.

Mr. Liu hadn't dealt with these things for a long time, and his playfulness was aroused. He played with Wu Chen every day, the old and the young, and had a great time. There is no difference between the two.

It's just that Mr. Liu is much busier than Mr. Wu Chen. People come to visit Mr. Liu non-stop. If it's a friend like Mr. Tian who is in the antique business, Wu Chen will accompany him. Some people know that Mr. Liu still has such an apprentice.

Except for one day, Director Wang, the boss of Wu Chen's original unit, came to visit. After Mr. Liu knew his identity, he called Wu Chen out to meet him with a smile. Boy, you don't want it, old man, I want it.

Director Wang has an advantage, that is, he has a particularly good memory. He remembers almost all of the more than 400 men, women and men in the unit.So I still vaguely remember Wu Chen's appearance, but the person and the name don't match up.Seeing that he was Old Liu's disciple, apart from being surprised, he was also secretly frustrated!He didn't know that Wu Chen had just joined Mr. Liu's sect recently. Seeing how close he was to Mr. Liu, how dare he neglect him, his fat face turned into a flower with a smile.

You know, he was not qualified to meet Mr. Liu alone, and he didn't know how many relationships he had, and he gave up his face to get this line. For many years, no one knew!The head of the department, and the grandson of the personnel and education department, are so fucking dereliction of duty!

When Wu Chen saw the big leader back then, he also had a very good attitude. He served tea and said hello, and Director Wang was a little flattered and ashamed.

Having been in the official career for many years, Director Wang is good at observing words and demeanor. Seeing that Mr. Liu looks at Wu Chen with care and pride in his eyes, he still doesn't understand.It is said that children and grandchildren are the flesh and blood of their hearts. To treat this kind of elderly "leader", directly pleasing him is better than pleasing the younger generation!

After the two parties exchanged pleasantries, Director Wang went straight to Wu Chen and talked about many things in the unit. Consciously or unconsciously, he asked Wu Chen where he was originally, and who were the director and colleagues.

While refilling his tea, Wu Chen casually mentioned the name of the department where he was at that time, and asked casually if Huang Zhichao was still the director of the department.

When Director Wang heard that he was calling him by his first name, not Huang Chu, he hummed for a while, and got the bottom line!

Wu Chen casually mentioned Xu Zhifei again, saying that after all these years in the work unit, he was left behind by such a buddy. Fortunately, he is progressive and capable, unlike himself, who can accomplish nothing.

Xu Zhifei!Director Wang's heart suddenly tightened.

Unlike Wu Chen, Xu Zhifei is an active member of the unit, and is now a serious deputy director. He has entered the level of "leading cadres". As the head of the unit, Director Wang is naturally very concerned about this kind of ladder reserve.Speaking of which, that kid is also a usable talent, but it's a pity that he is not on his side, and he is too enthusiastic with the second-in-command, Director Cai, so he is planning to take advantage of the rotation of department-level cadres to take him to a remote spot recently Stay in the office first.

I didn't expect that kid to be on the line with this side!There are rumors in the unit, Xu Zhifei has a strong background, it seems that it is not a rumor!Fortunately, I was still cautious and didn't do it lightly!

He thought to himself, but didn't show it on his face. After chatting for a while, he left.

It didn't take long, and the two sides didn't seem to say much, but it was enough. Being able to visit and "visit" Mr. Liu has already explained the problem, and it is also a big capital if it is used properly!

Mr. Liu looked meaningfully at Wu Chen who was sending Director Wang out, and Xu Shaodong kept yelling all day long, that this little guy is actually quick-witted and highly savvy, it's just a matter of personality, otherwise, he might be a way out for an official career!

Forget it, it's better to be a wandering cloud and a wild crane in order to make a name for yourself behind your back!After Wu Chen came back, the two continued to study their "experience".

……

"Pig head! Did you miss me!"

Lin Zhen was a little bit sad on the phone, last time he agreed to meet Xu Sanduo for him, and here it was agreed, but Wu Chen has never been free!It's been a few days without contact!It made her feel a little guilty every day at work, and she didn't dare to face Xu Sanduo's suspicious eyes.

"Hi! I'm sorry..." Wu Chen's hands were covered in ink, and he tilted his neck to clamp the phone. He looked awkwardly at Mr. Liu who was smiling ambiguously, and hurried outside, washed his hands, and held the phone. On the phone, he kept apologizing.

"It's fine if you don't see me. You don't know that our president Xu is almost on fire. Be careful not to stretch it too much, or the string will break." Lin Zhen thought that Wu Chen was deliberately grinding Xu Sanduo so that he could increase the strength in the later negotiations. size.

"Hehe, not all of them. There are indeed a lot of things going on recently." Wu Chen was afraid that she would be worried, so he didn't tell her about Lu Huaiyu, and Huang Xiaolin was involved, so he didn't know how to say it.

Standing in the patio, looking at the sky above, the fiery sunset glow is so beautiful.Wu Chen thought about it, and then asked Lin Zhen to make an appointment with Xu Sanduo to have dinner together in the evening, and she would book the place.

Back in the main hall, Wu Chen bid farewell to Mr. Liu, tidied up, washed up, and hurried out the door. It's rush hour now, and there will be a traffic jam when entering the urban area.He still attaches great importance to the cooperation with Xu Sanduo, don't let others have ideas just because you are late when you meet for the first time.
