One cry shocks the world
Guo Yi's request was a bit excessive, but the time he proposed shocked everyone on the scene - one hour. Although Guo Yi knew nothing about calligraphy and painting restoration, even if he thought with his toes, this time was far from enough for normal methods, an hour, all the people present thought it was an impossible task, just to satisfy their curiosity, they would not refuse!
Of course, an hour is absolutely luxurious for Guo Yi.
They finally agreed!
Guo Yi carried a rented empty suitcase into a small painting studio. The studio had only a few chairs and a large table in the middle. They first cleared all the paintings off the walls, probably fearing that Guo Yi would go crazy and tear them down.
After closing the door, Guo Yi casually fixed the painting, then wandered aimlessly around the room for a long time. He took out his phone, which had been overdue for payment, and saw that only twenty minutes had passed. So he rolled up the painting, lay down on the large table, and soon fell fast asleep. These past two days, being tormented by that girl called Leng Qingfeng, he hadn't slept well at all. Now was a good chance to catch up on some rest. Of course, he didn't forget to set an alarm, and when the last five minutes arrived, the bell rang, Guo Yi jumped up and started doing push-ups vigorously on the floor.
Dang Dang Dang
Just one minute short of a full hour, the urgent knocking sound started, and these guys were all anxious!
Guo Yeman got up from the ground with a big sweat, took a few deep breaths to calm his panting, and then opened the door calmly.
As soon as the door opened, Li Wen'an and Feng Saonü rushed in immediately, ignoring Guo Yi and pouncing on the painting. Tang Xiaojie followed closely behind, but her demeanor was still relatively calm. Her bright eyes first took a look at Guo Yi, who looked exhausted, before turning to look at the painting.
"Oh no, how is this possible!"
The flirtatious woman was the first to be called out, while Li Wen'an entered a state of repeating "Oh my god, oh my god". Miss Tang immediately quickened her pace and walked over, took one look, and suddenly shot a shocked gaze at Guo Yao.
The strange appearance of the three people immediately caught the attention of those who had barely suppressed their curiosity outside, and they rushed over with a sudden "wow", followed by cries of surprise!
Their performance was very satisfactory to Guo Yi, and seeing that they were almost ready, he shouted:
"Mr. Li, are you still satisfied with this painting?"
Li Wen'an was about to nod when he suddenly paused and said to Miss Tang:
"You see—"
Miss Tang took the magnifying glass from Li Wen'an's hand, looked carefully and was silent for a while. The people around knew that although Miss Tang was young, she was quite familiar with restoration. Seeing her silence, they all stopped discussing and focused their attention on her.
Guo Ye was a bit nervous, these past few days he had repaired quite a number of things, but never under a magnifying glass, let alone X-rayed, would this pass muster in the eyes of an expert?
At last, Miss Tang straightened her waist and said calmly:
"I can't see any flaws, you guys take another look!"
Everyone said:
"Even Miss Lian can't find any flaws, then it's fine!"
That fat old man who just persuaded me was unbelievable, stroking the broken part of the screen and trembling with voice:
"I've been in this line for thirty years, and I've never seen anyone who can repair a character's painting to such perfection within an hour. At such a young age, he is indeed a master!"
Holy Hand?
Ah, this title is great! Guo Yi was delighted in his heart, but his face didn't show any expression, and he smiled slightly, saying:
"Restoring ancient paintings and calligraphy is merely a trivial skill, how dare I be called a master craftsman!"
As soon as the words came out, everyone took a breath of cool air. Miss Tang looked at Guo Yao with a pair of wonderful eyes, seemingly wanting to see from his expression whether he was being modest or boasting.
The flirtatious woman reacted extremely quickly, swiftly sticking herself to him, grabbing onto Guo Yao's back, her full breasts unapologetically pressed against him, smiling brightly:
"Can you also repair antiques?"
Kuo Yi hastily retreated a step, and it was clear at a glance that Li Wen-an's relationship with her was not ordinary. Guarding someone else's husband or lover while eating her tofu, he didn't have the guts for that. However, according to his surreptitious observation, Li Wen-an seemed to be unbothered by the flirtatious woman's actions, and instead gazed at him with shining eyes.
"Of course!"
The flirtatious woman immediately turned around and rummaged through the wastebasket, taking out some ceramic shards. Later on, she simply took out the trash and other miscellaneous items from the wastebasket, put the shards back in, and handed the wastebasket to Guo Yao, saying:
"We're all here!"
Kuo Yi took it over and weighed it casually with his hand. The paper basket made a rustling sound, and he asked without looking:
"What is this thing?"
"Northern Song Ru Kiln Lotus Bowl!"
Before the words had fallen, the people who were just surrounding the painting suddenly surrounded the wastebasket in a watertight manner.
"Lotus Bowl!"
"You're crazy!"
"Northern Song?"
Everyone was still in shock and amazement, except for Li Wen'an and Feng Saonv, only three people were unmoved - Guo Yao, Tang Miss, and the fat old man.
Guo Yi didn't understand, his greatest understanding of porcelain was the sea bowls fired from the Qili Kiln near his hometown, sturdy and durable, and there were many of them. Looking at this lotus flower bowl, its quality wasn't much stronger than that of a sea bowl, so what's the big deal about it that they're all marveling at?
Kuo Yi cast his gaze at Miss Tang, this little girl whose name he didn't know had already calmed down from the shock earlier, looking at her expressionless face it seemed like she was very familiar with this piece of porcelain.
As Guo Yi looked at her, she smiled slightly, and her delicate eyebrows involuntarily raised slightly as she said:
"Your kiln's porcelain has always been renowned for its extraordinary value, even the Ru kiln porcelain from the Qing dynasty is now priced over a million, while the Northern Song Ru kiln products are worth a fortune, and it's said that there's only one piece of Northern Song Ru kiln lotus flower bowl, an absolute treasure!"
Everyone listened and looked at the fragments of the paper basket, and couldn't help but show a suspicious expression. Not to mention how such a precious thing could be broken like this, even if it were a single piece, it's impossible for it to appear in this cultural market that can't even be considered third-rate domestically.
The fat old man nodded, stretched out his hand and scratched his long eyebrows, saying:
"The Palace Museum in Taipei has this one!"
"Oh..."
Everyone looked at the flirtatious woman with some interest. Among them, a young man seemed to be quite familiar with her and smiled:
"Sister Na, this thing didn't come from Taipei by any chance, did it?!"
The flirtatious woman's expression didn't change as she cursed:
"You little brat knows what? When did I, Zhang Na, say that this is the real deal? This is a high-quality fake, absolutely everyone's handwriting..."
At this point, his face fell and he shouted at Li Wen'an:
"It's all because of you, otherwise I could have smashed this treasure. I'm warning you, if you dare to see that little slut again..."
Li Wen'an saw that things were going badly and hastily pulled Zhang Na, saying seriously:
"What's the point of saying this? The matter at hand is urgent. It's not easy to meet such a master today..." He turned to Guo Yi and said:
"You see, this——"
Zhang Na also knew that now was not the time to settle accounts, so she stared at Guo Yao with a pair of watery peach blossom eyes, her eyes flowing, and her body also leaned in close. The momentum was such that as long as Guo Yao said he could fix it, she would immediately go open a room - don't mention it, Zhang Na's figure was indeed not bad, especially the chest which was truly turbulent and majestic, and that butt... cough, cough, thinking a bit too far ahead!
Guo Yi hadn't spoken yet when a kind-hearted and benevolent-looking fat old man squeezed forward, took a look at the paper basket, and burst out laughing.
"This lotus bowl is so broken that it can be sold as pearl powder, how to repair? This young man is a rare master, um, saying holy hand is not excessive, after all, in such a short time --- But this holy hand is also human, you think ceramic is mud, just stick it on and it will stick?"
Guo Yi furrowed his brow and said:
"Can't it just be left unrepaired and unsaid? Is there even a need to repair such a fake thing?"
"How can you say it's a fake? This is actually high-quality imitation and doesn't come cheap! Can you really fix it or not?"
Zhang Na's full red lips pouted, somewhat displeased!
"Of course I can fix it, but there's a prerequisite - nothing here can be missing. If even one piece is short, then I won't be able to help you out! Tomorrow, at this time tomorrow, I'll send the stuff over to you."
After finishing speaking, I poured these fragments into a plastic bag and turned around to walk out, completely ignoring their surprised expressions.
Of course, this high imitation is worthless, and they don't have to be careful either, because as the fat old man said, this thing has already broken into powder. Let alone the high imitation, even the real one is not worth anything! So when I took it away directly, they didn't stop me.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Kuo Yeh hastened downstairs when Miss T'ang followed him down.
Guo Yiting stopped in his tracks, turned around and smiled at Miss Tang:
"Thank you!"
This is Guo Yi's sincere words. No matter what her purpose was, she actually helped a lot, although she didn't need to, but it was truly heartfelt gratitude.
She was slightly stunned, but immediately smiled and said:
"I didn't actually help much, you don't have to thank me."
She is not an absolute beauty, but her smile makes people feel like a spring breeze, because her smile has a kind of innate kindness and purity in her eyes, from "you" to "you", it also brings an unspeakable closeness and naturalness. This girl is not simple!
"My name is Tang Xiaolan, what's yours?"
"Guo Ye."
"I'm so sorry, I misunderstood you at first. I really didn't expect that someone could repair the painting in such a short time. You've really opened my eyes wide. Can you tell me who your master is? I really want to know who can cultivate such a genius."
"Do you want to know?"
Tang Xiaolan nodded vigorously, her eyes shining brightly.
"Alright then, let's go eat! I'll tell you after we finish eating."
This wasn't Guo Yi trying to take advantage of the opportunity to get close to the beauty, he really didn't have dinner plans tonight!
"Alright, alright!"
She agreed readily, and there was even a hint of excitement on her beautiful face. It seems that her curiosity is really great.
Guo Yue chose the Dongcheng roast goose restaurant, apparently she was a regular here. Otherwise, judging from my outfit, I reckon even the security guard wouldn't let me in. Under everyone's astonished gaze (have you ever seen a beautifully dressed girl and a guy wearing a tank top and shorts entering a high-end restaurant?), Guo Yue walked naturally to the second floor buffet. Then, Guo Yue once again opened Tang Xiaolan's eyes wide, it was her first time knowing that one person could eat so much!
She had many questions to ask, but good upbringing prevented her from asking when someone was wolfing down food. As a result, she waited until Guo Yi finally put down his chopsticks before cautiously asking:
"Can you really restore those fragments?"
"What do you think?"
She shook her head.
