Chapter 172: Intimacy
The old man looked a little thin, but his posture was straight, his eyes were bright, and his expression was very peaceful.
This is an old man with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
He doesn't care at all about the outside world's evaluation of him.
He only does what he thinks is worth it.
There was no disdain and contempt on his face for her as a relative as Shen Qianfei had imagined.
On the contrary, there was a gentle smile on his face.
"You must be Feifei, right? Your Grandpa Liu called me yesterday and told me about your situation. You are an excellent child. Welcome to join the restoration team!"
They stood outside the gate. The biting north wind blew, but instead of feeling cold, Shen Qianfei felt warm inside.
At this moment, Shen Qianfei actually felt as if her throat was blocked by something.
The first thing she didn't expect was that Grandpa Liu was also secretly greeting her.
When she first wanted to join the restoration team, she was not sure, so she did not tell Grandpa Liu. She only told him after she was sure. Grandpa Liu was also shocked and unbelievable at the time, but he did not say anything. Then he was very happy and thought it was good for her to get such an internship opportunity, but he was worried whether it would delay her studies.
After all, Shen Qianfei is now a high school student, and for her, the most important thing is to get into college.
Then, what surprised Shen Qianfei the most was that Director Lan had such a calm and gentle attitude.
Finally, her heart settled steadily in her stomach.
"Director Lan, I promise not to cause any trouble to you and the restoration team. I will study hard." Shen Qianfei quickly promised.
Director Lan smiled, then looked at Li Xianzhi, his eyes becoming much softer.
Obviously, he and Li Xianzhi were not strangers. Not only were they not strangers, they had a very good relationship. His voice was also very friendly and casual. "Xianzhi, I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you want to come in and chat?"
Li Xianzhi glanced at Shen Qianfei, thought about it and nodded. He felt it would be better for him to go in with Feifei.
Several people entered the museum and went to Director Lan's office.
Xiao An took the things that Shen Qianfei brought and placed them in the corridor. Then a staff member came and took Xiao An to the dormitory where the restoration team lived.
Although living here is extremely safe, Li Xianzhi still feels not very satisfied. However, this job is indeed very complicated, and it is impossible to pick her up and drop her off every day. If so, it will not only not be convenient for Feifei, but will cause trouble for her.
So, that thought was also fleeting.
Director Lan’s office has a treasure cabinet with several vintage antiques on display.
Some are fakes.
Of course, Shen Qianfei didn’t know all this.
She heard it when Director Lan and Li Xianzhi were chatting.
Shen Qianfei was interested in the books on the bookcase. She stood in front of the bookcase without moving. Director Lan smiled and called her, "Fei Fei, go get any book you want to read. I'll take you to the restoration team later."
Shen Qianfei smiled but didn't really go to get the book. There was no rush.
They set out in the morning, and it was a little after ten in the morning.
For these people, there is no such thing as a lunch break. They just have to eat and continue working.
The preparations were quick and there wasn't much delay.
The restoration team is not large, with only four people in total, including Director Lan.
Shen Qianfei is considered a non-staff member.
And Director Lan is the team leader.
The composition of the members is not complicated.
However, in front of Li Xianzhi, Director Lan still introduced the other three people to Shen Qianfei. They were all masters of porcelain restoration and were well-known in the country.
There was a family that specialized in repairing bronze ware.
You can call him Master Zhong.
It is also a family skill.
Director Lan also introduced some tips on the restoration of bronze antiques...
In the past, the restoration of bronze antiques was often referred to as a dragon-slaying skill, because copper was a precious metal in ancient times. Anything that existed in the world was a treasure, especially bronze ware from the Yin and Zhou dynasties, which were generally used by the royal family.
It can only be cast in times of national importance.
Therefore, there are not so many treasures for people who learn this to repair. It’s just that Master Zhong’s father happened to live in a special era. At that time, it was a period of chaos and tomb robbing among the people was very serious. Many national treasures of bronze were discovered during this period.
Then began the glorious period of Master Zhong’s father.
At that time, Master Zhong was still a teenager.
But for some reason, he did not continue to learn bronze repair from him, but turned to repair porcelain. Of course, there were many other things that happened later, but Director Lan did not tell them one by one.
He then talked about the second person.
This man specializes in repairing blue and white porcelain. He once spent half a year to successfully repair a national treasure-level blue and white porcelain tea cup.
This person is called Master Gong.
There is also a master of porcelain restoration, his surname is Ma, and everyone calls him Teacher Ma.
Not only does he know a lot, he also has great skills.
These three are all heavyweights, and are about the same age as Director Lan.
After introducing the three people, Li Xianzhi thought for a moment and said softly, "Uncle Lan, I want to know if there is any ready-made glue or adhesive needed to repair porcelain?"
Director Lan nodded, "Yes, we have it in the museum before. It is made from an ancient recipe. I did some experiments yesterday and it seems to work well."
Li Xianzhi glanced at Shen Qianfei, who understood what he meant and nodded to him imperceptibly. Then, Li Xianzhi continued, "On the way here, Feifei told me that she used the knowledge she learned to mix an adhesive. I will send her the materials she needs later. You just need to provide her with a place. She can give it a try. There is no harm in it."
Director Lan was not surprised. He had seen too many strange people and things in his life. It could even be said that he had also come across many things that even science could not explain, but he would not tell others about them.
He started to come into contact with these antiques when he was ten years old. Some of them are even treasures with a history of thousands of years, which is almost half a century.
Director Lan is not someone who knows nothing.
He was not confused, nor was he doing this because of the funds that the Li Group had provided to their repair team.
The main thing is that I trust Li Xianzhi.
Because of trust, he readily agreed to my request.
When I saw this little girl at this time, apart from her young age, she exuded a light and transparent feeling.
It's a very spiritual kind.
And for some unknown reason, he felt a sense of familiarity with this little girl.
He said with a smile, "Heroes have always emerged from youth. Feifei, I will arrange a separate room for you right away. In the next two days, you can try to mix the adhesive you mentioned."
