Chapter 92 Test
"Okay." Xu Qingsui put down the tools in his hand in confusion, thinking to himself, have we already had lunch?
Time passed too quickly. If Xu Wanshan hadn't called her, she would probably have reacted only when her stomach reminded her.
As I was thinking about this, my stomach started to growl.
Xu Qingsui glanced at Xu Wanshan awkwardly. Fortunately, he couldn't see anything under the protective suit. He should not have heard anything, right?
When she stood up, Xu Qingsui suddenly felt dizzy. She had been squatting for too long and maintaining the same posture, which caused the blood in her body to be unable to circulate. The sudden standing up not only made her hands and feet numb, but the dizziness caused by her brain almost made her faint.
Fortunately, Xu Wanshan was quick enough to support her: "How do you feel?" he asked worriedly.
After that intense dizziness, Xu Qingsui gradually returned to normal. She pushed Xu Wanshan away somewhat awkwardly and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Xu. I'm fine now."
"Do you have hypoglycemia?" Xu Wanshan asked.
"The last time I had a check-up at the hospital, the doctor said I had a little anemia," said Xu Qingsui.
Xu Wanshan nodded: "No wonder. In our line of work, physical fitness is very important, and physical health is also very important. You have lost some weight, so you need to nourish yourself well."
Xu Qingsui responded gratefully: "I will pay more attention to it in the future."
"You little girls all attach great importance to appearance. It's probably useless to remind you. I'd better remind your husband in the evening." Xu Wanshan said jokingly.
Xu Qingsui suddenly felt embarrassed and said helplessly: "I didn't lose weight on purpose, I really just can't gain weight."
She is also very distressed. Others think she is being Versailles, but only she knows that gaining weight is as difficult as losing it.
Xu Wanshan laughed and said, "Let's go out for dinner."
After a short break in the afternoon, Xu Wanshan explained to Xu Qingsui the precautions of the restoration room, then changed into professional clothes and took her to his restoration room.
There are cultural relics of all sizes on display inside, all of which have been carefully cared for, and their original appearance can be seen. Each one is exquisite, but unfortunately each one has flaws.
Xu Qingsui was heartbroken when he saw this, and only cultural relics lovers could understand this feeling.
Looking at these damaged cultural relics, Xu Qingsui wished she could restore them all to their original state. She also gradually understood why her grandparents were so determined to choose this path, even though the conditions were so harsh at the time.
Xu Wanshan took a small teacup, handed it to Xu Qingsui and asked, "If it were you, how would you repair it?"
This teacup not only has three cracks on it, but also has a hole in it.
After careful observation, Xu Qingsui said, "There are generally three ways to repair ceramics. The most common ones are hole repair and adhesion repair, but these two are obviously not suitable for cultural relics. That leaves only the most difficult one, filling repair."
Xu Wanshan nodded: "Yes, the first two methods will leave traces of repair. Only filling and repair can ensure the integrity of the porcelain to the greatest extent, but it also tests the skills of the restorer. If you are not careful, it will turn into a fake. When we repair it, we must not only make it impossible to see the traces of repair, but also let the appraisal personnel confirm that it is a genuine product."
Xu Qingsui took a breath of cold air. This was too difficult.
Therefore, it is easy to find an appraisal master, but it is difficult to find a restoration master. A top-level restoration master is definitely a top-level appraisal master, because the cultural relics he restores must first pass his eyes before they can be considered passed.
In the past, Xu Qingsui was quite confident in her restoration skills, but now she has begun to lose confidence. Only when she really came into contact with people who are better than her did she understand what it meant to be a frog in a well.
"I'll give this teacup to you." Xu Wanshan said to Xu Qingsui, "Let me see how talented you are."
Xu Qingsui took a deep breath and said, "Senior Brother Xu, I feel like I still have a lot to learn."
This teacup was shiny and translucent, but it had been buried in the soil for quite some time, and the gaps and cracks had changed color, resulting in very obvious color changes. She felt that she could not repair it to the point where no traces could be seen.
Xu Wanshan patted her on the shoulder and gave her confidence: "This is a rare opportunity. Do it with all your strength. Through our communication with you, I can see that your professional knowledge is not a problem. Now let me see your practical ability."
"Since Senior Brother Xu trusts me so much, I will give it a try." Xu Qingsui encouraged himself and took over the task of repairing the teacups.
After carefully observing it, she determined the tools and materials needed for the repair, then wrote them down on a piece of paper and handed it to Xu Wanshan: "Brother Xu, please help me prepare it."
Xu Wanshan looked at the items written on the paper, and he looked at Xu Qingsui with even greater respect, and became more confident in the decision he had made.
Soon he prepared the items that Xu Qingsui needed. After Xu Qingsui took over these things, she sat at the workbench and began her restoration work.
Repairing ceramics is not an easy task. Time passed little by little, and before she knew it, it was dark. Xu Wanshan turned on the lights and did not disturb her.
Huo Xilin drove over at the agreed time, and Xu Wanshan told him: "Junior Sister Xu may not be able to go home tonight."
Huo Xilin said: "Even if I work for you, I still have to let people eat and sleep."
"You don't even understand your own wife?" Xu Wanshan asked in surprise.
Huo Xilin frowned slightly and asked, "Have you asked her to take over the repair work?"
Xu Wanshan nodded: "She is a very talented person. Such talents are hard to come by, so how can we waste them?"
"How long will it take to repair it?" Huo Xilin took out a cigarette and started smoking. He seldom smoked, and the few times he did so were all because of Xu Qingsui.
"I've observed her speed, and it should take until the early morning to recover." Xu Wanshan said, "If you feel bad, don't let her do this in the future. In our line of work, we often have to eat one meal a day and not have a regular rest schedule, so it's very bad for our health."
He could see that Huo Xilin cared about Xu Qingsui.
In their line of work, once the restoration work begins, it is generally difficult to leave halfway, because of the special nature of the repair materials, the time control must be very precise, otherwise it is easy to have color differences, cracks, defects, etc., then even if the restoration work fails, all efforts will be in vain.
Huo Xilin shook his head and said, "She likes this."
He was rich and capable, and he would do his best to satisfy Xu Qingsui no matter what she wanted, but he knew that these were not what she really wanted.
