Chapter 237 Bronze Fragments
After Wen Zhi came back, he said that tomorrow they would lead troops to the northwest to fight the foreigners on a frontal battlefield.
Liu Yunyan retreated. He concluded that the foreigners had a backup plan.
There are not many available men in the Da Qi army, and Liu Yunyan is the chess piece to deal with the foreigners.
"Calculating time, the old emperor will not survive this month?" Shen You frowned.
"Well, as long as this battle goes well, we can expel the foreigners."
Wen Zhi raised the corners of his lips, his eyes darkened, "I won't be too desperate this time, as long as they leave Daqi territory , as long as there is no way to invade for the time being."
"You said, how much money will be paid, how much things will be done"
The old emperor's deal with him is just to expel the foreigners and preserve the country of Qi. He did.
It was the other party who broke their promise first and beat the foreigners until they could not recover for ten or twenty years. That was a different price.
Had we not made private deals with foreigners to cede twelve states that owned an iron mine and a gold mine in order to save their lives, the foreigners would not have been able to develop at all.
There is one less powerful enemy around Da Qi.
"The holidays will be over in a few days, and the museum will go to work. It will probably be before the Lantern Festival. I will go to see Professor Hu." Shen You said.
It is true that the frontal battlefield is a hell difficulty dungeon for Da Qi, but for so many days, the amount of materials lost by the foreigners, plus the materials consumed, is not a small amount.
The food Shen You transported to Da Qi was quite sufficient.
If the foreigners cannot win this battle, they will have to retreat.
In ancient times, the consumption of a cavalry army was equivalent to a dozen or twenty ordinary soldiers. No matter how powerful the army was, it could not sustain it without food.
In the past few days, they have eaten all the vegetables they bought in advance. Yesterday they had barbecue and today they had hot pot. It was very easy to cook.
You can eat in a while.
Handmade noodles cooked in a hot pot, paired with your own squeezed vegetable juices, it’s so delicious.
Shen You sat at the dining table, eating happily.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Wen Zhi left a message to go to Shuozhou City.
After Shen You got up, he found the rope skipping tool and started exercising.
She didn’t want to go out for a morning run. She was ready to buy a treadmill but hadn’t bought it yet, so she chose one that was more cost-effective.
After lying down for so many days, my physical fitness has deteriorated. She can't lie down any longer, and she eats a lot during this period of winter. Shen You is afraid that the cheongsam she spent a lot of money to customize will no longer be worn by then, so she has to practice.
An hour later, take a shower, wash your hair, have breakfast, change into decent clothes, and put on light makeup.
Some places in the Antique Street are open today, and customers will inevitably come to visit. Yesterday, Boss Huo was asking her what day they would open.
Today counts as the first day of the New Year for modern antique shops to open their doors, so face-saving work is still needed.
All the excavated antiquities are put into the warehouse.
Shen You put tea leaves, snacks and fruits on the plate, and opened the door.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, while she was cracking pine nuts and watching the treasure appraisal video, someone came to the shop.
"Happy New Year, Boss Shen." Boss Huo came over with two other antique street bosses, and Wu Zhiyuan.
"I heard you're open, why don't we come over and have a cup of tea."
"Happy New Year, please take a seat." Shen You made a gesture of invitation.
Of course it is good if the shop is popular on the first day of opening.
Colleagues sit and chat, and the topic cannot escape antiques.
"Although Boss Shen has only been in the industry for a short time, his business is quite big. I will have to rely on you in the future." A boss said with a smile.
Shen You praised each other in business: "You are so humble. How can I get this little business? You guys have collected a lot of good things. I heard about it." "You are so humble." Take out the good jade plates to put the snacks, and you said we have a lot of things?”
Boss Huo looked at the plates on the table, and the ordinary Chinese snacks also seemed to be at this moment. Very expensive.
He doesn't like sweet things, so he ate a piece of everything and just washed it on this plate.
"Boss Shen, where did you collect all these things? When you drink tea here, the tea sets, plates, and plates for nuts are carved lacquerware, and the bowl on the shelf is from the official kiln. Malachite green.”
The color is so beautiful!
Where to collect it from is probably the question that everyone wants to know the most.
“Some were auctioned, and some were collected from people I knew, and very few were missed.”
That's right. Transactions in other planes are not included. Last time she picked up the agate bowl leak abroad and the Ji Lan from the Yongzheng period at the auction.
That's because she saw that it was during the Yongzheng period that she made a profit on this, otherwise it would be a small loss.
After hearing what Shen You said, no one asked any more questions. They were all peers and knew how to talk. Apart from the public auction of things, how could we really tell them the channel.
A few people chatted in the shop for a while, and asked Shen You to go sit in their shop when he was free. He clasped his hands and stood up to leave.
Wu Zhiyuan stayed, and Shen You knew that he should have something to say, so he was not in a hurry and gave him more tea and waited.
"Boss Shen, it's like this. I have a junior in my family who is also majoring in cultural relic restoration and hasn't graduated yet. I wonder if I can work as an intern in your studio for a period of time without any salary."
The circle is There are many restorers, but few have the connections and resources like her.
This is also a step to establish a good relationship with her, and she has many treasures there, which can also be an eye-opener.
Shen You did not agree immediately, thought for a moment and said,
"In this way, after the first month of the year is over, set a time and you ask the other party to come over and see if he can adapt to our work. Room.”
The studio needs people, but she must meet them first, preferably Professor Li.
As long as there is no problem with the person, even if she can't do anything, she will sell favors to Wu Zhiyuan.
This is one of the best appraisers in Jiangcheng. Just practicing for a period of time is not a big deal.
But if there are problems with people, that won’t work. If something goes wrong, the studio will be responsible.
Wu Zhiyuan understood what Shen You meant, "Okay, that's it, thank you, Boss Shen."
"You're welcome, I also need people to do things." Shen You said politely.
"Then I won't disturb Boss Shen today." Wu Zhiyuan stood up and said goodbye.
"Walk slowly."
The studio won't go to work until the 16th day of the first lunar month. Shen You will go there, but you have to deal with Daqi's affairs before you have time to deal with this year's affairs. Work.
Shen You looked at the museum calendar on the table, put down his phone, and went to the antique street in the afternoon. There were not many stalls today, and it was a little cold.
After returning, she closed the wooden door outside the yard and began to clean up the antiques in the warehouse.
Bronze is extremely slow to clean, as it is oxidized and is still a broken part, so secondary damage needs to be avoided.
You have to number them according to the pattern above so that they can be put together later.
There is a master of bronze restoration in Jiangcheng Museum, but Shen You is still far behind.
She picked out a few pieces from the pile by looking at the patterns.
I was lucky, I found all the parts as soon as I picked it up, and the main body looked like a candlestick.
These frames were dug out not too far away from the altar. The bronze candlesticks are quite exquisite in workmanship.
She seemed to know how to spell it in her head. She tried it and it worked.
Limited to this candlestick, the remaining fragments have no clue.
