The years when I was reborn as a giant in the antique world

The eyes of the three were unabashedly surprised and disbelieving.

In museums, the importance of cultural relic restorers is self-evident.

They deal with, restore and protect precious cultural relics, which are equivalent to "cultural relic doctors", giving these "sick cultural relics" a second life.

Therefore, cultural relic restorers must have excellent restoration techniques, and are not allowed to independently restore cultural relics without experience.

Ordinary cultural relic restorers have to learn from the master for four or five years at the earliest before they can get started, and they will start with the restoration of general cultural relics first, and then slowly come into contact with third-level or even second-level cultural relics.

Cultural relics above the third level are precious cultural relics, and no mistakes are allowed.

Just like Ren Han, who has been working for 11 years, but has only been in contact with the third-level cultural relics since the past two years, and he was not qualified at all before.

But the young man in front of him was only in his early twenties, and he was still an intern who hadn't graduated yet. He actually had to restore a third-level cultural relic on his first day of employment!

Isn't this speed too fast?

At such a young age, can you really restore a third-level cultural relic?

Under the surprised and doubtful eyes of the three, Yunzhou looked at the three pieces of porcelain in front of him as usual.

The three pieces of porcelain are all blue-and-white porcelain from folk kilns in the early Qing Dynasty. They should have just been unearthed.

This is because the ancient ceramics have been buried underground for a long time and are eroded by water and acid-base salts to form rust.

The young man took a few glances and found that there were still some differences from the porcelain he usually repaired.

The porcelain here is more original, and the overall look is more worn.

When Yunzhou usually chooses broken porcelain pieces, he usually only chooses relatively high-quality ones. As for the unfired ones, the ones with rust and water rust are basically not picked out.

As for the porcelains that other customers want to restore, they are all high-quality porcelains, which are of high collection value and have few defects.

Otherwise, it will not be collected by them, and then they will spend a lot of money to restore it.

And the three pieces of porcelain in front of me are cultural relics with unique historical value.

Archaeologists certainly don't care about the appearance of the porcelain, and it will be more troublesome to clean it up.

As for the damaged part, Yun Zhou dragged it with his hands and took a closer look. They were all ordinary decorations, without particularly complicated glazes and patterns. It is not difficult to repair, and it is a medium difficulty.

After making a basic judgment, without further ado, he immediately put three pieces of porcelain in a plastic basin to wash in the sink.

There is stubborn soil rust, which cannot be removed by soaking in ordinary weak acid or weak alkaline solution. Mechanical decontamination is also required. Use a small ultrasonic cleaner or electric lettering pen to remove the hard attachments on the porcelain surface bit by bit. cleaning.

Fortunately, these are essential tools in the restoration department.

Yunzhou first rinses off the dust and dirt on the surface of the porcelain, then gently brushes the broken part with a bristle brush, and removes the stains that can be removed first, being careful not to damage the glaze.

After preliminary cleaning, adjust the diluted solution in proportion, and soak the heavily dirty parts in it.

After the stain is dissolved, use mechanical decontamination to remove the firm attachment, rinse and check again and again, and confirm that it is completely cleaned before it is complete.

The rust has penetrated into the interior of the porcelain. Yunzhou estimates that the cleaning of the porcelain will take at least two days, which is much more troublesome than before.

While preparing the solution very quickly, he thought, it would be great if Senior Sister Lin Yu was here.

Now Lin Yu still comes to work part-time every weekend. He is very efficient in cleaning and sorting broken porcelain pieces, and he is more proficient than himself.

Ms. Tao and Master Yan quickly withdrew their gazes after being surprised, and calmed down and focused on the work in front of them.

Since the researchers were able to send these third-level cultural relics, it shows that the young people are sure to restore them.

It's impossible to use the cultural relics in the museum to practice your hands. If it is damaged, you will have to pay legal responsibility.

It's just that I can't help but sigh in my heart, the young people nowadays are really getting better and better.

It is said that he has only studied restoration for more than three years, so it is not a bad idea to call him a genius.

But Ren Han's heart was complicated at this time.

Half an hour ago, he was still explaining the basic principles of cultural relics restoration to Yunzhou, secretly believing that the other party was helping him.

But the young man became a real restorer of ancient ceramics in a blink of an eye, and he was a third-level cultural relic as soon as he got started!

Ren Han felt hot on his face, it turned out that he was thinking too much.

But who would have thought that this ungraduated intern would be a cultural relic restorer?

He has worked in the museum for more than ten years, and up to now he has only restored the third-level cultural relics, and the other party's starting point has been the same as his own——

Ren Han understands that it is impossible to make fun of precious cultural relics in the museum, and the restoration ability of young people must have been confirmed.

It's just that he doesn't believe that an intern who has just studied porcelain restoration for more than three years can be compared with a master who has studied for more than ten years.

There are only two restorers of ancient ceramics in the city museum, he and Yunzhou. He must not be compared by the other party, otherwise, wouldn't the work experience of more than ten years be in vain?

Thinking of this, Ren Han took a deep breath and sped up his movements.

After get off work, Yunzhou returned to the studio and sorted out the things he was going to bring tomorrow.

In fact, there are still a lot of materials to bring.

Whether it is preparing adhesives, priming, puttying or coloring, the materials used for non-marking repairs are different from ordinary repairs.

Yun Zhou thought about it, and brought some different kinds of materials.

Otherwise, if something is missing and you have to prepare again, it is better to prepare it all at once. Anyway, the storage cabinet next to his seat is quite large, and it should be able to hold it.

He asked Cheng Ting to find a few helpers, took out some of the various materials in the studio, and packed them in different categories. The trunk was full, and the back seat was also full.

Yun Zhou greeted Director Ye in advance, and came to the gate of the museum early.

Vehicles are prohibited from entering the museum, and curator Ye arranged for staff to move the materials out of the vehicle and put them on flat trolleys.Because there are too many things, the large trolley can hardly fit.

After a strict inspection, the staff and Yun Zhou supported and pushed the cart to the Cultural Relics Restoration Department, and it was time to go to work.

Ms. Tao was about to enter the door, and she looked at the car full of things parked at the door in surprise: "Xiao Zhou, what is this?"

Yun Zhou smiled slightly, revealing the small dimples on his cheeks, "This is the material for repairing porcelain. I usually use it frequently, so I don't need to trouble the curator."

"Oh……"

Ms. Tao was slightly taken aback. She had never seen anyone bring materials to the repair room.

The restoration materials used by the cultural relic restorers are all provided by the museum, and applications can be made if necessary.

But after so many years, I have everything I need, and the categories and tools are complete. It is nothing more than replenishing consumables every two or three months.

As a restorer of ancient ceramics, Ren Han did not ask for supplementary materials. Could it be...Yunzhou's restoration method is different from his?

The restoration techniques of different restorers will indeed be different to some extent. Some top restorers have their own unique skills, but the techniques belong to the techniques, and the materials are similar.

Ms. Tao couldn't figure it out, but he didn't study the restoration of ancient ceramics, maybe he could see the difference when the restoration was completed.

Yun Zhou's action also caught the attention of Master Yan and Ren Han.

As the same department, the two big men came over to help, and put the materials into the cabinet with the youth.

Oh, there are so many.

It took the three of them more than half an hour to finish the move, and the entire locker was piled to the brim, leaving no space left.

After Ren Han sat back in his seat, his gaze still turned to Yunzhou's position from time to time.

These materials are all new to him, completely different from ordinary restoration materials, but the variety of them is dazzling, much more than the materials he used.

He frowned, feeling a little disturbed, what the hell is this young man doing?

Yunzhou took out the commonly used tools and materials and placed them on the workbench in order for daily use, and then went to the sink to continue cleaning the rust on the porcelain.

**

It took about a month for Yun Zhou to completely restore the three pieces of porcelain.

Except that cleaning and aging took a little more effort than usual, the other steps were very skillful, and the whole process was as natural as flowing clouds and water, without any pause in the middle, and it was completed quickly.

The young man formulated a suitable blue and white glaze color at one time, and after simply trying the color, he glazed it directly, and began to outline the decoration with a fine brush.

Seeing such a picture, Ren Han immediately opened his mouth wide in surprise, his eyes almost popping out.

…what's the situation?

Just paint directly like this?

Coloring is the most difficult step in porcelain restoration.

Under different light, the color of porcelain glaze is different.

Cultural relic restorers must be precise when adjusting the color. A slight deviation will cause the supplementary part to be separated from the original porcelain, and the original appearance of the ancient ceramics cannot be fully displayed.

As the saying goes, if you miss a little bit, you can miss a thousand miles.

Ren Han immediately became a little more angry.

Doesn't this young man need to mix it several times under natural light, and then carefully confirm the decoration before painting it!

It's just too sloppy, where is this repairing porcelain?

Thinking that it took nine years for him to come into contact with the precious third-level cultural relics, and the young man started to restore the third-level cultural relics as soon as he came, but he treated them with such an attitude, his anger rose up.

Although all repairs are reversible at present, it has reached the final part of the coloring, and the glaze will be damaged if the repair is not careful.

Who will use reversible repair unless it is absolutely necessary.

Ren Han barely restrained the anger in his heart, and took a deep breath to calm down.

The other party is currently repairing, so don't interrupt it rashly. After he repairs, he will be able to see the difference in glaze color, and the difference will definitely be great.

He must stop Yunzhou from causing secondary damage to cultural relics.

Yunzhou didn't know anything about it, and concentrated on painting the porcelain.

As the afternoon passed, the sun was gradually weakening, and he also completed the restoration.

He was about to stand up and move his body, but when he looked up, he found Ren Han standing beside him. He couldn't help being startled, "Brother Ren, what's the matter?"

"Yunzhou, how could you just—"

Only halfway through the conversation, Ren Han saw the repaired blue and white flower vase on the workbench, but at a glance, he couldn't find where it was repaired.

His words were choked in his throat, and he unbelievingly picked up this 'lotus petal-patterned octagonal flower vase' and looked carefully at the sun, the more he looked, the more frightened he became.

This, this is clearly a complete piece of porcelain, and there is no trace of restoration at all!

Ren Han's actions attracted the other two restorers.

It was almost time to get off work, and they were about to pack up and leave, but now they were all attracted by this flawless blue and white porcelain.

The 'Early Qing Dynasty Blue and White Lotus Petal Pattern Octagonal Flower Insert' in front of me has long since lost the broken and rust-stained appearance when it was just delivered a month ago.

"Xiaozhou, did you fix this?"

"It's perfect, better than any restorer I've ever seen!"

"how did you do it?"

The two old masters expressed their amazement one after another.

The two of them have been in the museum for so many years and have communicated with restorers in other museums several times, but they have never seen such beautifully restored porcelain.

Ren Han's master has been engaged in porcelain restoration for 35 years, and was later transferred away by the provincial museum because of his outstanding skills, but even he could not do so.

However, the young man in his early twenties in front of him did it!

At a young age, he has achieved achievements that others cannot achieve in a lifetime.

Ren Han was in a state of trance.

He was shocked not only to see the restored porcelain, but also to see the glaze that Yun Zhou successfully prepared once.

There is only one time, and the deployment is successful once!

What is this concept?

Absolute master class.

He bowed his head in shock, embarrassed and ashamed.Thinking of how he wanted to stop the other party just now, he wished he could slap himself twice.

Does a master-level restorer still need to be taught by a junior restorer?

It was ridiculous.

Fortunately, that sentence was not uttered, otherwise he would be ashamed to stay in the museum, it would be too embarrassing.

However, Ren Han looked at the blue and white porcelain in front of him, and suddenly thought of something.

Some top restoration masters can indeed repair the surface of porcelain so that no traces can be seen. However, the skill that can't see the flaws in the sun, could it be——

Thinking of this, his heart beat rapidly, his Adam's apple swallowed unconsciously, and he curled his fingers and tapped against the rim of his mouth.

The crisp sound of porcelain echoes in the ears, without intermittent stagnation, and it is particularly clear in the quiet space.

"The traceless restoration must be the traceless restoration!" Ren Han's face flushed with excitement, "it's Master Feng's long-lost traceless restoration!"

No one can achieve such perfection in sound except for the flawless restoration technique.

This is the pinnacle of ancient ceramic restoration, unsurpassed.

The way he looks at the young man has completely changed. This young man has inherited Master Feng's traceless restoration technique. This is the best news in the entire ancient ceramic restoration industry. "Master Yunzhou..."

Yun Zhou: "Brother Ren, please call me by my name."

Ren Han smiled: "Master Yunzhou, where do you live, if it's convenient, I can take you back?

By the way, I will apply to the leader right away, and I will help you starting tomorrow. "

Yun Zhou: "..."
