Chapter 1040 Prosperity Antiques
Of course Xueer is interested, but she also has self-knowledge. She has never touched antiques, and it is okay to take a look at it. It is impossible to restore it by herself. With Xueer's current craftsmanship, she can only waste everything.

But she didn't know how to do it, but it didn't prevent Xue'er from going to watch the fun. After hearing the news provided by Sister Hu, Xue'er immediately went to Boss Chen's shop.

Based on Xueer's experience, this Boss Chen is only obsessed with antiques, and rarely mentions other things, let alone introduce him to someone.

Sure enough, when Xueer arrived at Boss Chen's shop, there were already customers in the shop. It was a young man with a calm face, wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers, but he was handsome and upright, with a sense of elegance spontaneously.

The pastel terracotta figurines that Xueer had studied were held by the young man and looked at.

The young man's fingers were slender and strong, and his skin was a beautiful wheat color. Holding the dull terracotta figurine in his hands seemed to add a bit of vitality.

"Xue'er, do you know who this is? This is Professor Dong from Jingnan University, a heavyweight in the antique world!" Boss Chen introduced the young man's identity with a smile.

Xueer was shocked when she heard it. What surprised her was not Professor Dong's title, but that Professor Dong was so young. In Xueer's impression, such a heavyweight should be a gray-haired old man.

Hearing the shopkeeper introduce himself, the young man raised his head and smiled at Xue'er gently, which was regarded as a greeting.

After the introduction, Boss Chen didn't say much, and picked up the whisk to clean up the antiques on the shelves.

At this time, Professor Dong had already started to prepare the paint.

Xue'er knows that people who are not three-point sure will not take on the job of restoring painted pottery.

Professor Dong frowned and prepared the paint, dipped the paint from time to time, and tried the color on the snow-white rice paper, "This color is still not right!"

Boss Chen turned the wheelchair over, "Do you need to add something?"

"Let me think about it!" Professor Dong frowned and thought, "When did the blue bricks on your ground come from?"

The antique market is not a new unit. Long ago, this territory was the hub of the antique trade.

"Should it be more than 100 years ago?" Boss Chen is very familiar with the history of the antique market.

"Go find a blue brick, knock off a corner and grind it for me!" Professor Dong ordered naturally.

Xue'er was very interested in this, and Boss Chen had limited mobility, so she took the job.

After the green brick powder is ground finely, when you pinch it in your hand, it will have the color of cement powder, but it is slightly darker than that.

Cher put the powder in a small paper bag and took it back to the store.

Professor Dong thanked her seriously, and then added the powder into the paint with a small spoon.

After this preparation, the color of the paint is really not so bright.

Even so, before Professor Dong started, he found another colorless pottery and tried the color on it.

After trying every color, Professor Dong began to repair the terracotta figurines.

Not everyone can do this job. First of all, you must be familiar with the history, the clothes and decoration styles of the terracotta figurines in that era, so that you will not make mistakes when redrawing.

The other is the color matching and the texture of the paint. It is necessary to reproduce the style of the time, but also not to do bad things with good intentions, turning a good antique into a high-quality imitation.

And Professor Dong is obviously very knowledgeable. When he drew the clothes and decorations of the characters, he almost wrote with confidence without thinking.

Xue'er watched intently from the side, there are many skills that don't need to be said, just look, talented people can learn.

At this moment, seeing Professor Dong move his brush like flying, turning from the original to the original, Xueer's mind was like thunder and lightning, and many questions that had been puzzling for a long time were answered.

Boss Chen has been quiet all the time, as if he didn’t exist. This is the highest state of being an antique shop owner. Like Boss Wang, she talks so much. The only customers who often come to her shop are a few customers who buy high-quality imitations. The turnover is not even a fraction of that of Boss Chen.

Soon the terracotta figurines were restored.The pottery figurines that have just been restored cannot be handled by hand, because the paint has not dried completely. Professor Dong put the pottery figurines on a ventilated shelf and admired them with his hands behind his back.

He was originally very young, but at this time, he already has the demeanor of a master when he makes this kind of movement.

Xue'er's attention was all on the pottery figurines. The restored pottery figurines were solemn and bright in color, which set off the whole image of the pottery figurines.

"This pottery figurine will be auctioned in three days, and the paint will definitely be dry by then," Professor Dong said suddenly.

"Comrade Shi Xue, you have come to my store to help out more than once. I have an invitation letter for the auction. Are you interested in going to see it?" Boss Chen handed over several invitation letters appropriately.

This is not the same as a movie ticket, but it is of a much higher level than a movie ticket. Xueer immediately took it and thanked Boss Chen.

After finishing the work in hand, Professor Dong didn't say much. He didn't seem to have the beautiful girl Xue'er in his eyes. He explained a few more precautions to Boss Chen and left lightly.

After Professor Dong left, Boss Chen told Xueer that the price for Professor Dong to repair it was 100 million.

With parents like Shi Jingning and Li Chunlan, Xueer considers herself well-informed. Even so, the price of 100 million still shocked her.

You must know that Professor Dong just sat here for half a day, and he earned the 100 million.

The speed at which he can make money is beyond Shi Jingning's reach.

After Xueer came home, she mentioned this rare event. Shi Jingning and Li Chunlan, who were originally not interested in antiques, became interested for the first time. After discussing it, the couple decided to go to the auction with Xueer to have a look. It's something Cher is interested in.

On the day of the auction, the family of three arrived at the venue early.

Not to mention the people who are eligible to participate in the auction, nearly half of them are Shi Jingning's acquaintances. These people are rich and powerful bosses, and only they have the background to buy those expensive antiques.

"Old Shi, I told you long ago that there is nothing wrong with collecting some antiques. They all say that antiques are gold in prosperous times, and now that the country is prosperous and the people are safe, it is the time when antiques are skyrocketing!" There was a good boss who pulled Shi Jingning aside to talk A few words went.

Xue Er sat down with Li Chunlan, and the two of them wanted to pass through the antique album, and flipped through it on the spot. After looking at the atlas, Xue Er realized that the starting price of Boss Chen's pottery figurines was 1000 million.

You must know that the starting price at the auction is different from what Boss Chen asked in the store. Although both are 1000 million, the final transaction price at the auction will be much higher than the starting price.
