Chapter 115 Repair

"Is it true or false?"

The environment in which Bai Chuxia lived since childhood was destined to be an atheist, so even though she respected Yu Xuan very much, she still didn't believe Yu Xuan's words. If it were another person, Bai Chuxia would probably be reprimanded.

"If you believe, you have it; if you don't believe, you won't. In the early summer, this is all about your personal..."

Yu Xuan could see Bai Chuxia’s thoughts at a glance, but he did not force Bai Chuxia to believe his words. After all, faith is something invisible and intangible, and no one can verify it.

"Old Yu, then... is this string of beads worth 50,000 yuan?" Bai Chuxia asked. Apart from what Yu Xuan just said, Bai Chuxia still believed in Yu Xuan's professional qualities.

"Value, very value..."

Yu Xuan gave a reply without any hesitation, what a joke, a magic weapon can sometimes save a life. Of course, if there was no such string of phoenix-eyed bodhis given by the Living Buddha, Yu Xuan would probably have been no longer in the world.

So, let alone 500,000 yuan, Yu Xuan would take it out without hesitation. Of course, this string of Vajra was sold by Fang Yi to Bai Chuxia, but Yu Xuan couldn't compete with him.

"Okay, then I'll buy it..." After hearing Yu Xuan's words, Bai Chuxia nodded, and the other party said, "Give me the stuff first, and then give me an account. I'll call you 50,000 yuan, okay?"

"Okay, I'll ask Sanpao to give you an account..." Fang Yi agreed happily, and with Yu Xuan's reluctance, he watched Bai Chuxia put the string of King Kong into his bag.

"Old Yu, I have something to bother you..."

After putting away the Vajra, Bai Chuxia looked at Yu Xuan with a little embarrassedly and said, "Old Yu, you know that this string of Vajra was given to my uncle. Don't mention it is a magic weapon or something like that..."

The environment where Bai Chuxia is located is relatively sensitive to religious beliefs. In the hearts of many people, religious beliefs are even directly equated with feudal superstitions. Bai Chuxia doesn't want to criticize his uncle for his gifts.

"Girl, they are not as superficial as you think..."

Hearing Bai Chuxia's words, Yu Xuan shook his head with a smile, his identity and status determine a person's attitude and way of dealing with things. By the generation of Bai Chuxia's father, these minor details are no longer very important.

"Okay, Teacher Yu, the food is ready. Please use a simple working meal at noon?"

Seeing that the transaction between Fang Yi and Bai Chuxia was completed, Zhao Hongtao invited everyone to the cafeteria and said it was a working meal, but it was actually very rich. Although there was no wine, the dish of Saberfish alone was something that could not be seen at many banquets.

"Well? Hong Tao is meant to know that I like to eat swordfish..." Seeing the braised swordfish, Yu Xuan nodded with satisfaction, as if he was going to Hankou to eat Wuchang fish. When he came to Jinling swordfish, he was naturally an indispensable dish.

"Yu is old. Of course, there must be swordfish. Although the swordfish before the Qingming Festival is gone, it is also a wild swordfish..."

Zhao Hongtao smiled and replied, "The swordfish before the Qingming Festival is at the junction of freshwater and seawater at the mouth of the Yangtze River. The meat is the most tender. The price for two thousand years is already several hundred yuan per pound, and it is often not available for purchase."

"Hong Tao, you have to pay for this meal yourself..."

When Sun Lianda saw the dishes on the table, he frowned slightly. He had been a leader in the Jinling Museum for so many years, but he disliked eating and drinking the most, and did not want to watch his students get involved in this trend.

Hearing Sun Lianda's words, Zhao Hongtao couldn't help laughing and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I know that Teacher Yu is coming. I bought this sword fish myself..."

After graduation, Zhao Hongtao worked in the museum with his teacher. Naturally, he knew his temper and did not make such a mistake. Even if the teacher didn't say it, he would settle the remaining food money to the cafeteria.

Since there was still work in the afternoon, everyone did not drink. After dinner, the group came to the restoration room of the museum and prepared the tools used to restore the "Yongle Encyclopedia".

Cultural relics restoration is a very meticulous discipline. If you are improper, you will cause damage to the already fragile cultural relics, especially cultural relics such as calligraphy and painting. It is not an exaggeration to be careful.

This time, Sun Lianda and Zhao Hongtao took action personally. When Sun Lianda prepared some potions, Zhao Hongtao carefully removed the cover of the book "Yongle Encyclopedia" from the whole book.

In ancient times, thread-bound books were always on the books, but the lifespan of the lines was much shorter than that of paper. I don’t know how many times the lines in this book "Yongle Encyclopedia" have been replaced, so cutting the lines and repackaging them will not affect the value of the entire book.

"These medicines can make the cover paste soft without hurting the cover page inside. Fang Yi, medicine is also very important to us..."

While operating the work, Sun Lianda did not forget to teach Fang Yi that as a scientific expedition worker, he often had to work in the field. In the absence of ready-made medicines, he often had to do it himself.

Sun Lianda once presided over the excavation of an ancient tomb. When he was unearthing the objects, he found that the number of unearthed cultural relics exceeded previous estimates. The anticorrosion liquid they brought was insufficient, so Sun Lianda diluted the anticorrosion liquid on the spot, which ultimately did not affect the entire scientific research process.

"Teacher, you won't soak the real pages inside, right?" Fang Yi asked worriedly when he saw the teacher put the two front and back covers in the liquid.

"No, you'll know later..."

Sun Lianda smiled and shook his head. After nearly ten minutes of soaking the sealed page in the liquid, he used a pair of wooden tweezers to remove the page from the liquid and placed it on a sweat-absorbing tissue that had been prepared.

After sucking away the liquid on the surface of the sealing page, Sun Lianda took out a set of exquisite gadgets, from needles to file picking needles, etc., and also put on reading glasses that he rarely wore, carefully opening a gap on the page that was compacted by the sealing page.

When Sun Lianda took action, almost all the people in the restoration room held their breath. They did not dare to make any sound, for fear of disturbing Mr. Sun's movements. They just widened their eyes and refused to let go of Mr. Sun's every move.

Sun Lianda's movements were very gentle, almost using the speed of crawling snails to disassemble the edges of the cover page, and then kept brushing the anticorrosion liquid for calligraphy and paintings on it, for fear that the original cover page inside would be damaged.

It took Sun Lianda more than two hours to pick the work of opening the sealing page. After all the four sides were picked open, Sun Lianda and Zhao Hongtao both took tweezers at the same time and evenly uncovered the layer of cover that was later pasted.

"It's really the Yongle version of "Yongle Encyclopedia".

Looking at the cover page that revealed the true face of Mount Lu, both Sun Lianda and Zhao Hongtao were excited because next to this page was the book "Yongle Encyclopedia" handwritten by Jiajing. The fonts and formats of the two were slightly different.

"Hong Tao, work harder, let's install the thread..." Despite the fatigue of contacting and working for several hours, Sun Lianda greeted Zhao Hongtao again, and spent more than an hour to stitch the cover page and the book together.

After doing these tasks, Sun Lianda was so tired that he collapsed on the chair. The energy spent on restoring cultural relics was much more than physical strength. Sun Lianda, who was in his sixties, was no longer enough to do this intensity of restoration work.

"Lao Yu, the publication of this book "Yongle Encyclopedia" is definitely of great significance to the study of Ming history..."

Looking at the book "Yongle Encyclopedia" on the table, Sun Lianda showed a gratified smile on his tired face. For a cultural relics worker, the value of their discovery and protection of cultural relics is reflected in the information feedback of the cultural relics themselves to history.

"Brother, this thing belongs to private ownership..."

Hearing Sun Lianda's words, Yu Xuan shook his head with a wry smile, but his eyes were aiming at Man Jun and Fang Yi on the side-
