Chapter 31 The lost ancient method
"This is the lipstick you want." Shen You took out the makeup remover and blush.
After explaining how to use it, Zhao Wanyi was really moved. How could she not buy such a natural and delicate rouge!
"All of these are needed."
His Royal Highness will arrive in the capital tomorrow, and the banquet will be the day after tomorrow.
"Okay." Shen You smiled and counted the money, "There are a thousand taels in total, and the pair of hairpins you picked cost 600 taels. They are unique."
This is a heat-shrinkable hairpin that she came across while surfing the Internet that day, which is plastic.
But because the shop owner made it exquisitely and the price was not cheap, she spent 600 to buy it, and she also paid extra for next-day express delivery.
Hearing the word "lone product", Zhao Wanyi's eyes became a little more satisfied.
Xianghe went outside to get another five hundred taels of silver from the carriage, paid the money, and left the shop.
They were used to the fact that the shopkeeper didn't even have a box for such a valuable item, but gave it two paper bags.
It was the same last time.
In other words, things must be irreplaceable to tolerate those rules.
After closing the [Daqi] store, Shen You contacted Gu Shaoyu.
He asked if he could bring someone knowledgeable along to take a look, and Shen You said it was okay.
After all, it is such a precious thing, so it is normal to be cautious.
More than an hour later, Gu Shaoyu arrived in his somewhat ostentatious car.
But Shen You didn't expect that the knowledgeable person he said was actually someone he knew.
"Let me introduce, Xu Jiayan, my grandfather and his grandfather are neighbors. We have known each other since we were children. He is doing research on ancient books."
"I know." Shen You nodded.
Fortunately, I was also cautious and put away all the things that shouldn't be there.
There are things that can be displayed outside.
"We meet again." Xu Jiayan said gently, "Your store is really well repaired."
He looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and praised them repeatedly, saying that especially the paintings, it was obvious that he had a profound foundation and a deep study of ancient paintings.
"They were all given by friends." Shen You said naturally.
Seeing this posture, Gu Shaoyu came over and asked softly, "What's going on? Do you know each other?"
"I know you." Xu Jiayan replied.
"That's easy, everyone is one of our own!"
After Gu Shaoyu finished speaking, he held up a jewelry box with extreme caution, for fear of damaging the shape inside that he had put together to conceal it.
Shen You opened it with gloves and said, "This pair will be auctioned for more than two million yuan."
"Good taste." Gu Shaoyu nodded.
I originally thought that Shen You, an unknown person in the antique street, was the inheritance of a relative who suddenly took over.
Although she studied related majors, she has not handled many good things herself, and she definitely has no experience.
I didn’t expect to see the price at a glance.
"If you smash it, this one is worth tens of thousands of yuan." Shen You felt heartbroken just looking at it.
Since an expert was present, she stopped talking nonsense.
Just take out the process you just restored with silver.
Gu Shaoyu is the youngest in the family, so he doesn't have to take care of the family business. He usually doesn't care much about the family business, but he has been influenced by it since he was a child, so he is not an ignorant person.
A closer look reveals that Shen You really knows how to repair things.
His face was filled with the excitement of being saved. Before he asked the price, Xu Jiayan made a surprise announcement,
"You know this kind of craft?! A batch of cultural relics were unearthed half a year ago, and several of them used techniques very similar to this one. Unfortunately, they were seriously damaged, and the restoration team has not been able to restore them after studying them for a long time!"
"If it's convenient, can you go to the collection library for guidance? I'll tell the director about the situation, and I should be able to sign on as an external consultant."
In other words, he is paid, and when he returns to the county seat with this status, he is quite respectable in the eyes of others. It also helps business.
But Shen You wants to open a shop, and she doesn't want to be too involved with the collection.
"No, Brother Jiayan, you are too ungrateful in martial arts! Why are you still cutting off your beard? I came first, do you want me to be repaired first in order?"
Gu Shaoyu looked at Xu Jiayan accusingly.
Shen You said softly, "I don't have the energy to travel between two places and do another job. Why not, I will print out the production method of this craft for you."
"If that doesn't work, I'll choose another time to go to the collection library."
The latter sentence is just a polite word, she can make it according to the method, let alone those experienced veterans in the collection library.
Xu Jiayan opened his lips, "This is a lost ancient method."
Only she can do it and everyone can do it, from the perspective of interests, it is completely different.
"I know." Shen You just replied.
She doesn't rely on this for a living.
Xu Jiayan watched Shen You sitting in front of the computer and preparing to print,
I thought so, she was even willing to donate to Ru kiln, so why would she care about this false reputation.
You can already imagine the excitement on the professor's face when he got this A4 page.
Thinking of this, Xu Jiayan looked at Shen You and couldn't help but smile.
Shen You gave the printed paper to Xu Jiayan, then turned to Gu Shaoyu,
"I estimate that it would take half a month or 200,000 yuan to repair your item as quickly as possible."
"No problem!" Gu Shaoyu agreed.
200,000 is nothing to him.
"You haven't told Gu Yue about this yet?" Xu Jiayan spoke at this time.
You can tell by looking at Gu Shaoyu's expression that he really didn't say anything.
Xu Jiayan frowned, "If you take out such a valuable thing without telling her, you are not causing trouble for Shen You."
"She just came home today, I will tell her." Gu Shaoyu explained,
"If we can cultivate it to be the same as before, it won't be a big deal."
"Wait a minute." Shen You stared at the things in the box and suddenly said, "One little pearl is missing."
Gu Shaoyu's eyes widened, he took a breath and counted what Shen You said, it was indeed wrong.
"I must have missed one when I picked it up that day. Where can I find it now? It's over."
Everyone might have been thrown into the garbage by the aunt at home.
"Forget it, I can find one with high similarity for you." Shen You said helplessly.
Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, I won't let you pay to take orders, and I'll transfer you an extra 50,000."
Shen You didn't refuse, and the business was settled. Gu Shaoyu suggested that they go to dinner together and he treated him.
"I'll put the things away, you guys wait for me." Shen You put Gu Shaoyu's box into the storage compartment.
After opening the Beijing store, the storage compartments were also upgraded, making the space larger. It is not a problem to stuff more jewelry boxes into it.
The place to eat is four kilometers away, a high-end Chinese restaurant.
Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, next to the dining table is the sparkling lake.
Gu Shaoyu ordered two signature dishes with ease, leaving the rest to Shen You and Xu Jiayan to decide.
"Stop saying anything. Let's have tea instead of wine. Thank you for helping me solve this matter."
Everyone raised their teacups and clinked them before officially starting to eat.
When she came out after the meal, Shen You was still holding the whole packaged cake in her hand. Apart from anything else, Gu Shaoyu's emotional intelligence was really high.
Seeing that she liked the food, she asked the waiter to pack an extra portion. After all, there were not many people who could fix his thing.
