The restoration of cultural relics starts from the live broadcast

Chapter 29 Finding Uncle Long

Chuhe was a little embarrassed, and he immediately explained: "We want to buy silk that can be used to make book covers."

"Oh! So I'm buying silk fabrics. Come on, follow me." The salesman enthusiastically led Chuhe and Xu Tongshan towards the direction of silk fabrics.

After passing through numerous daily necessities counters, Chu He clearly felt that there were fewer customers around him.

The salesman led the way and said: "I didn't expect you to buy those. Do you want to wholesale? Generally speaking, the silk used to make book covers is actually a bit expensive. I suggest that you can synthesize it with artificial leather and polyvinyl chloride."

"Is artificial leather cheaper?" Xu Tongshan asked the salesperson.

The salesman nodded: "Of course, both artificial leather and PVC coating can be used for scrubbing and hot stamping. It is easy to process and cheap. Those hardcover book covers made by publishers use these materials, especially the amount Larger series of book covers."

"Little girl, you should still be in school, such as some textbooks, such as "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation". Those covers are all made of those materials."

After hearing this, Chu He politely declined: "The cover we want to make is a little different, and the quantity we need is not much, but we need to find suitable materials for us."

"This is it." The salesman then pointed to the material beside him and said, "This is superfine velvet binding cloth. Do you think it suits you?"

Chu He touched the material, shook his head, "No."

Seeing that Chu He had touched every frame cloth of different specifications, the salesman asked with some confusion: "Handsome boy, what kind of cover do you want to make?"

"That's right, Chuhe, you've touched almost everything here." Xu Tongshan didn't understand.

Chu He touched the frame cloth in each cabinet, but he was still dissatisfied. He knew exactly how the cover of "Yongle Dadian" felt, so as long as there was similar silk cloth, he would be able to sense it.

"Maybe. This store doesn't have it." Chu He obviously gave up.

"But, this is one of the best silk shops in Kyoto. If it doesn't exist here, it will be difficult to find it in other places." Xu Tongshan told Chuhe her worries.

Chuhe thought for a while, and finally said: "Let's go, let's go to the next family."

"Handsome guy, don't you want to look any further? There are more over here." The salesman pointed to the innermost cabinet.

Chu He looked at the cabinet over there and found that there was another small cabinet there, so he walked over and found that the cabinet contained raw silk. Next to the raw silk, there was a brand called Mulberry Silk.

Chuhe touched it, was stunned, and said in surprise: "It feels a bit like it, is there any other raw silk?"

"There is also zuò silk behind you." The salesman immediately gestured.

Chuhe turned around and asked the salesman to open the cabinet, then he took out the tussah silk and touched it carefully.

Xu Tongshan was curious on the side: "What did this come from? Is it those silks?"

After Chuhe touched the tussah silk, he immediately became excited, "Yes, this is it!"

"What is this?" Xu Tongshan was taken aback by seeing Chuhe's abnormal excitement.

Chu He laughed happily: "I found raw silk that is close to the cover material of "Yongle Dadian", and it is this tussah silk!"

"What exactly is tussah silk?" Xu Tongshan was confused by Chu He's inexplicable excitement.

The salesperson explained: "It is a filament made from the silk produced by tussah silkworms. It is called tussah silk. This kind of silk is naturally luxurious, smooth and comfortable, soft to the touch and elastic."

"Yeah, my brother is right, and the mulberry silk behind you is silk made from silkworm cocoons. Because it is raised indoors, it is also called domestic silkworm silk. The quality of mulberry silk is the best, and it is the mainstay of natural silk. source."

Chuhe gave Xu Tongshan a chance to popularize the mulberry silk in the cabinet behind him.

Xu Tongshan seemed to have discovered a new continent, but she was still a little puzzled, so she asked Chuhe: "But, shouldn't we use the best quality mulberry silk for the cover of "Yongle Dadian"? Why use tussah silk? What? The prices are obviously cheaper."

"When we restore the cover of "Yongle Dadian", we don't mean to use the most expensive and best materials, but to use materials that are close to the original cover, and tussah silk meets the perfect conditions for us to make the cover." Chu He explained to Xu Tongshan.

The salesman listened to Chuhe mentioning that he wanted to restore the cover of "Yongle Dadian", so he couldn't help but look him up and down, and then praised him: "Sure enough, handsome guy, you can restore cultural relics at a young age."

Chu He smiled sheepishly, and then asked the salesman to pack up all the tussah silk in the cabinet and buy it together.

Seeing Chu He buying so much, Xu Tongshan wondered: "Do you need so much tussah silk to repair the cover?"

"You don't know how old the book covers of "Yongle Dadian" are. I guess most of them will have to change the cover." Chu He trembled when he thought of changing the covers of nearly a hundred volumes.

Soon, after paying the money, Chuhe walked out of the silk shop with a large bag of tussah silk. Seeing that Chuhe was carrying such a heavy bag, Xu Tongshan said distressedly, "Let me get some for you."

In fact, Chuhe was indeed carrying a heavy load. When she said this, she was a little moved, and then he was ready to say no and thank you.

Unexpectedly, Xu Tongshan took Chuhe's small rope bag directly, "Come on, you don't have anything in your bag, I'll get it for you."

Zhang Wuji's mother once said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more she deceives others.

Afterwards, Chuhe took out his mobile phone, looked at the photo of the paper of "Yongle Dadian" on the mobile phone, and said with a sad face: "Now the material for the cover is done, but what specifications of paper should we use for the paper making material?"

After hearing Chuhe's words, Xu Tongshan thought about it carefully, and then said to Chuhe with a smile: "Chuhe, I want to eat ice cream."

"Then go buy it, there is a store in front." Chu He pointed to Mei Yijia in front of him.

"But, I want you to buy it."

Xu Tongshan deliberately emphasized: "After you buy it, maybe I will tell you where to find a lot of paper with many specifications, so that you can choose one of them as the repair paper."

"Really?" Chuhe didn't quite believe Xu Tongshan's words.

"When did I lie to you?" Xu Tongshan raised her eyebrows, "Hurry up and buy ice cream, it's getting dark, we have to hurry, otherwise Uncle Long might not be in the courtyard."

Therefore, Chuhe chose to trust Xu Tongshan again.

When he looked at Xu Tongshan who was eating ice cream, he asked, "Where are we going now?"

"Now go to the courtyard house on Donglin Street on the Second Ring Road. Let's find Uncle Long." After speaking, Xu Tongshan picked up her mobile phone and prepared to call a Didi car.

"Who is Uncle Long?"

"Besides my grandfather, he is the old man who loves me the most!"

"...I didn't mean to ask that."
