Chapter: 118
Everyone held their breaths quietly, afraid to disturb his restoration process.
It was soon half an hour later. When Ye Chen stood up again, what appeared before everyone's eyes was a ceramic vase that looked like it had just been born anew, reminiscent of a Tang Dynasty spring jar.
He smiled at Zhou Liangyun and said, "You can take a look, are there any flaws left?"
Zhou Liangyun picked up the vase and examined it from top to bottom, saying with disdain, "What are you playing for? You're just using egg white to stick things together and call it restored? Even if I broke your legs, I'd use egg white to glue them back together. Is that okay?"
"Don't touch that vase!"
Just then, a clear and urgent voice echoed from outside the door.
Following closely, a cold-beautiful woman in a white casual suit walked in.
She had a refined complexion, a perfect figure, and stood at nearly 5'7", exuding an aura of nobility. Her beautiful eyes looked around the room, filled with a chilly arrogance, like an ice queen.
Zhou Liangyun's face changed color upon seeing this woman and quickly bowed low, saying, "Young lady, how did you come?"
The person arriving was the actual owner of the Ji Qing Tang, Song Shijia, the scion of the top-tier Song family in Jinling.
Just then, a clear and urgent voice echoed from outside the door.
Song Shijia scowled and said with an angry tone: "I'm afraid I didn't come, and you've ruined this store! What's going on?"
Zhou Liangyun chuckled nervously and hurriedly replied: "A customer was looking at a bottle when he accidentally broke it. His son-in-law used chicken eggs to fix it a bit, and I was just about to say that the repair is worthless and communicate with them about compensation, you know."
Song Shijia walked up to the jade jar spring bottle and observed for a moment before her face suddenly changed dramatically!
Then she immediately turned around and scolded Zhou Liangyun: "Quickly put it down! Who told you not to understand and mess around?"
Zhou Liangyun was taken aback: "Young lady, what's going on?"
Song Shijia shouted angrily: "This is a just-repaired cultural relic, except for the repair expert, no one else can touch it with their hands until now. Don't you understand this rule at all?"
Zhou Liangyun hesitated and said: "Well... I guess using chicken eggs to fix it doesn't count as a real repair?"
Song Shijia's beautiful eyes were filled with anger as she scolded: "You numbskull! After the bottle is repaired, its price will at least double, but because you touched it, we'll probably lose at least 2 million! You clean up your things and don't come tomorrow!"
She had previously seen a ceramic plate from the same era as the jade jar spring bottle at an auction in Hong Kong.
That ceramic plate has a very interesting history. It was a Tang-era ceramic that was broken during the Song dynasty, then a skilled craftsman from the Song dynasty used the same method to repair it.
However, due to this rare repair method being extremely uncommon and lost in history, the ceramic plate ultimately sold for 13 million yuan, far exceeding its actual value.
Now, the spring bottle is being repaired using a lost art by Ye Chen, which will also significantly increase the bottle's value!
Zhou Liangyun's face turned white with shock, completely unaware that just touching the spring bottle would bring such a huge loss and cost him his job.
Song Shijia continued to ask, "What about the master who repairs this spring bottle? Take me to see him right away." JrNovels.com
