Got Chu Chen's praise, Zuoshan scratched his head, some embarrassed said: "but, I don't know if that person is old Ding you said."
Chu Chen slightly a Zheng, ask a way: "you see that person is what appearance?"
left the mountain as like as two peas, and described the appearance of the man. Chu Chen laughed. "He is a Ding old monster, and not a TV person."
"That's right?" Zuo Shan asked happily.
"It must be true. The man you see is Mr. Ding." Chuchen nodded with a smile.
"I'm relieved, but how can this guy be so sloppy?" Zuo Shan murmured.
Chuchen said with a smile: "don't worry about him. It's noon. Let's go. Let's have dinner first."
Zuoshan shook his head: "the person who is monitoring old Ding has not arrived. I'd better wait here for a while."
"Not yet? How long has it been? I'll call and ask. " Chu Chen frowned, then took out his cell phone to dial.
At this time, Zuo Shan suddenly said, "wait a minute, they have arrived. They are over there."
Chuchen looked in the direction of Zuoshan's finger and found that there was a small, humble van parked there. Someone inside waved to them.
In order to be on the safe side, Chu Chen asked Zuo Shan to inquire, while he took Jia Yuqiang to a restaurant not far away, ordered a box and ordered food.
When the waiter came out of the box, Zuoshan also came back to inquire about the news. He made an OK gesture to chuchen and said, "it's really someone sent by Mr. Liu. In addition, Mr. Liu asked them to bring you a message and let you go to him after dinner."
"OK, I see."
Chuchen nodded with a smile, and then he took out the lion dragon statue and said with a smile: "this is actually a lion dragon made of old material of venusia lobular red sandalwood. From the perspective of technology, it should be made by the palace manufacturing office during the Qianlong period."
"Red sandalwood of Venus leaflet?" Jia Yuqiang looks very surprised.
Venus is actually a common name in the collection world. In fact, the professional term of Venus is the sediment in the "Brown hole (brown eye)". The specific reason is that the mineral elements in the soil are deposited in the nutrient channels of the trunk of Pterocarpus microphylla all the year round. The metal products formed in the brown holes have metallic luster and are in the form of dots or lines. This is the so-called Venus.
Generally speaking, not all the stems of Pterocarpus microphylla can produce Venus, which can only be formed in special soil environment. Because of this, Venus red sandalwood is hard to find in the market.
And this is old red sandalwood, it's more precious. Why old red sandalwood? This is because red sandalwood is famous for its delicate wood. Especially after the new and old red sandalwood are divided, we know that the old red sandalwood is more delicate, and its characteristic is "small brown eyes", so red sandalwood beads with small brown eyes are gradually favored by everyone.
Chu Chen nodded and said, "it's actually very easy to observe. Look at the arrangement of these pale yellow dots..."
Speaking of this, he took out a strong light flashlight and arranged it in the light yellow material. He saw that there would be reflected light under the light. In addition, with the characteristics of Pterocarpus microphylla, it was obvious that the material of this statue was Pterocarpus microphylla.
"It's really a little red sandalwood of Venus." When Jia Yuqiang saw this, he could not help but feel envious. Originally, there were not many red sandalwood leaves on Venus. They were old materials, and they were also the handicrafts of the palace manufacturing office during the Qianlong period. Such things could not be bought for tens of thousands of yuan.
However, Jia Yuqiang frowned again and asked: "curator Chu, since this is Venus, how does the red sandalwood look dark and lustrous? It's not like the old red sandalwood, is it? "
Generally speaking, there is a kind of material in red sandalwood, the new section is orange, after a short time of oxidation, the color will change. From orange to orange to deep red, deep purple.
Many people say that red sandalwood will turn black in the later stage, which is a visual problem. Under the condition of sufficient light, you will find that it is purple, which can be verified in any museum. No matter how old the red sandalwood is, it doesn't turn black. Their final color is "purple". Therefore, since ancient times, people call it "purple" sandalwood.
In that case, Jia Yuqiang was a little confused about how the statue became like this.
"It's not well maintained."
Chu Chen said: "like some people who like to play with red sandalwood, the reason why they feel that it turns black is that on the one hand, the lack of light causes visual errors, and on the other hand, you play a little" dirty ", which is the result of not knowing how to maintain it."
"Some people maintain red sandalwood every day. In fact, they rub it with their hands or even rub the oil secreted from their face. You should know that what rubs on the beads is not only oil, but also sweat, mud, bacteria and so on. After a few weeks, the beads look black and bright, with a thick layer of dirt on the surface. At this time, they mistakenly think that their beads have been coated with slurry. This is actually a misunderstanding of the coating. "
"In fact, this kind of coating is a form of improper maintenance of red sandalwood. Its existence greatly affects the beauty of red sandalwood and makes red sandalwood look dull like this statue,. In addition, if the maintenance of red sandalwood is not proper, cracking is also a common phenomenonJia Yuqiang listened to these words and said, "do you mean that this statue has become what it is now, because it has been maintained in the wrong way?"
"Isn't it?" Then Chu Chen took out a white glove from his pocket and rubbed it on the statue: "the surface of the real coating is a layer of glassy smooth, clear and fluorescent, which can penetrate into the wood visually. As the saying goes, sometimes red sandalwood can be used as a mirror instead of a layer of old clay. You see, dirty or not? "
Seeing that the gloves turned from white to black, and the place where the statue was wiped was still brighter, Jia Yuqiang was also speechless. Then he asked, "can the statue be restored?"
Chuchen ha ha a smile, return a way: "I see the original host so play time is not long, the possibility of recovery is still very high."
As soon as chuchen's voice dropped, the waiter began to serve.
While everyone was eating and talking, Jia Yuqiang asked: "curator of Chu, I also have red sandalwood beads in my home. How can I make it have Baojiang?"
Chu Chen said: "it's also easy to say, that is, to use less clean cloth plate. The material of cloth is usually fine soft cotton cloth. The cotton cloth should not be stained with oil, or chemical components such as alcohol and detergent. Otherwise, the color of the beads looks very unnatural."
"Why use soft cotton?" Jia asked
"Now some businesses have come up with many ways to" improve "the surface skin of red sandalwood in order to meet the enthusiasm of the majority of wooden friends for the pursuit of small brown eye."
Chuchen had a meaningful smile: "at present, the most advanced machine we have seen can put red sandalwood beads in an alloy grinding plate, add water to press and grind hard, the ground wood pulp is fully filled into the brown hole, making the bead surface smooth and delicate, but after a long period of hard disk play, the material filled in the brown hole will slide, so do not use soft cotton cloth You can imagine the consequences. "
Jia Yuqiang heard the words speechless way: "now businessmen in order to make money, it is really nothing to do with ah!"
"Otherwise, why is it that money can make the devil push the mill?"
As for the red sandalwood pulp, I think it's a slow process if I haven't seen it for more than ten years
Hearing that it will take ten years, Jia Yuqiang said with a bitter smile: "with my character, it seems that I have no chance to make any Baojiang in person."
Next, as they ate, they talked about red sandalwood and antiques. In the end, Jia Yuqiang sighed that Chu Chen was a well-known expert. His knowledge was too profound, and he didn't know how he learned when he was young.
"Why! Why hasn't he come back yet? " Chu Chen asked strangely. Just now Jia Yuqiang said it was convenient to go to the bathroom. As a result, it took more than ten minutes. Why didn't he come back? Could he go into the toilet? Or is something wrong with him?
When Chu Chen thought so, the door of the box suddenly opened, and a waiter ran in and said anxiously:
"your friend has been beaten, go and have a look!"
After hearing the news, chuchen and Zuoshan were slightly stunned. Did Jia Yuqiang meet a gangster?
Chu Chen quickly stood up and asked, "waiter, do you know what it is? Besides, did you call the police? "
"I've already called the police and made an emergency call. As for what happened to your friend, I'm not sure."
The waiter said, "I just heard that your friend came out of the toilet and met other customers in our shop. They quarreled and finally started to move their hands. But your friend was only one person. There were five men and one woman in each other. He couldn't beat them at all. After a while, he lay still on the ground."
It is said that the situation is so serious that Chu Chen immediately asks the waiter where Jia Yuqiang is now, so he speeds up his pace and goes to the destination.
When he got to the position said by the waiter, Chu Chen saw a burly bald man, pointing at the security guard standing in front of him and yelling at him. The security guard just kept asking the bald man to wait for the police to come over, but he didn't say much about others. Some of them forced him to force the wind to blow the hills
to see the only woman in her thirties among these people, who looked like Jia Yuqiang Describe the object of his infidelity, why the two sides will conflict, Chu Chen do not have to think to be able to guess a general.
It is estimated that the biggest possibility is what they thought before. In front of them, the young woman made a game for Jia Yuqiang. Now he is discovered by Jia Yuqiang by chance. How can he give up?
