Chapter 190
This is the first time Chen Ming heard of rhinoceros skin lacquer. He thought it was made of rhinoceros skin. He didn't expect to see the information sent to him by Su Moxi. He actually used 65% raw lacquer and egg white wet to make thick lacquer. Then he used tools as the material to create concave and convex surfaces when the lacquerware was half dry. After it was dry, he used different lacquer layers to paint and grind it. Due to the different heights of the lacquer layers, different patterns can appear after grinding, resulting in a brilliant color. It looks easy, but it is definitely not that simple to make.
"Does there any detailed information about this?" Chen Ming asked.
"I'll ask someone to ask." Su Moxi immediately went to ask Lao Su for help. Although Lao Su is also an amateur, his interpersonal network is definitely much stronger than Xiao Su. He is the dean of the medical school and is also an expert in the hospital. His interpersonal network is still very wide.
There is a professional in Lao Su's circle of friends who specializes in ancient lacquerware. He has a very good understanding of lacquerware and even imitates the ancient lacquerware technology to imitate a batch of exquisite lacquerware. Moreover, his modern lacquerware is quite popular. This expert is Gao Haonan, deputy director of the Provincial Museum.
Su Mingrui received a box of tea pills from Chen Ming last time. After learning that the tea pills were so expensive, he felt that the box of tea pills was ashamed. He originally wanted Su Moxi to return it to Chen Ming, but Chen Ming insisted on reclaiming it and refused to ask Su Mingrui for money. Su Mingrui's income is not low, but he still can't afford to drink more than one million yuan per box of tea pills. If he really paid for the tea pills, the Su family would have a financial crisis in a short time.
Now that Dr. Chen has a place to help, Lao Su works very hard and personally goes to Gao Haonan's house.
"Lao Gao, I have something to ask you for help." Su Mingrui arrived at Gao Haonan's house and asked for help straight to the point.
"What's the matter? Wouldn't you just call me?" Gao Haonan asked strangely.
"That's the case." Su Mingrui talked about Chen Ming.
"Now, young people like to study this. I have some of my personal experiences here. In fact, they are published in journals, and some of them are in the books I published. Take these over to see if they have talent in this area. There are not many people who have done this. There are also people who can make a name for themselves like me. If young people are not afraid of wasting time, they can try it. Don't force it." Gao Haonan does not hide his personal opinion at all. Craftsmanship requires time to be tempered. Even if Gao Haonan does not hide his personal opinion, it is not so easy for others to learn. Gao Haonan has taught many students, but none of them can reach his level.
After Su Mingrui got the information from Gao Haonan, he personally went to Chashu Village. After hearing that the road to Chashu Village was built, he really wanted to go there, so that he could see his baby daughter and enjoy the scenery of Dalong Mountain.
Su Mingrui personally delivered the information he needed to the door, and Chen Ming was still very moved.
"Director Su, I'm really embarrassed to send it here from such a long distance." Chen Ming sincerely expressed his gratitude.
"Doctor Chen, I should thank you. I really don't know that your tea pills are so valuable, otherwise I can't accept you. But the tea pills are really good, it's simply a magic pill. I took it for a while and felt that many old problems were completely cured. My lover's health has also improved a lot. No matter how much money it costs, it can't buy health." Su Mingrui said.
Su Moxi could also see that Lao Su came here this time and seemed to be ten years younger than before, and the hair on his head seemed to have turned a lot darker. Lao Su didn't like to dye his hair. There was only one reason why his hair turned black, that is, the effect of the tea ball.
"I made the tea balls myself. This thing is valuable and valuable. Others can't buy it for money. It's not worth it, but it's actually not worth a penny. The tea leaves I picked myself and made by myself, and I didn't spend a penny of the capital. What's the money? After Dean Su finished drinking the tea balls, you can come to me at any time. I can drink them myself and provide them with them without limit." Chen Ming said.
Su Mingrui looked back at Su Moxi, "You girl, don't really want to stay in Tea Tree Village anymore, right?"
Su Moxi was stunned. You said tea pills, why are you looking at me?
Chen Ming did not pay attention to the changes in expressions between the father and daughter. He was more interested in rhinoceros skin paint.
The set of tables and chairs made by Chen Ming are made of hardwood, but not a kind of wood. They are mixed with wood from several kinds of trees, and the wood grain is not particularly good-looking. In addition, the colors of tables and chairs are somewhat uneven. Therefore, if you only treat it with tung oil or apply varnish, it is not very suitable. If you can use rhinoceros skin paint, it can just cover up the shortcomings of the wood color and wood grain.
"I have checked the raw paint for you, and you can buy it online. You can do it from any place. I don't know the specific market conditions." Su Moxi interjected.
"I don't want much. No matter how much money, please help me buy it. Buy more so that I won't buy less, and it's troublesome. Anyway, I'll still have to make furniture. I will first make furniture and practice craftsmanship, and then start building a wooden building in the future." Chen Ming said.
"My friend will send you the information and books about building the wooden building you want soon." Su Moxi said.
Su Mingrui immediately asked curiously: "What wooden building?"
"This guy is not going to build a brick building, he is going to build a wooden building. He also wants to imitate the antiques. I asked someone to find some books on related ancient buildings for him." Su Moxi said.
"Why didn't you say this earlier? The most professional person in ancient architecture must be those experts in museums. Finding an ancient architecture expert will definitely be much more reliable than your friends." Su Mingrui blamed.
"Yes, since you want to build an antique wooden building, it's better to find a professional." Su Moxi said.
"Doctor Chen, you are not in a hurry to do this?" Su Mingrui asked.
"No, no hurry. I just want to build it now. With my level, it is impossible to build it." Chen Ming said.
"If you don't have a hurry, I'll ask someone to find an expert in ancient architecture. Although my friends do not have ancient architecture, there are a few friends in the ancient museum. They will definitely know people in this field. At that time, you can even ask an ancient architecture expert to come and provide guidance to you. Or directly find them to design." Su Mingrui knew that Chen Ming was not short of money, so asking an ancient architecture expert to guide the design was nothing for Chen Ming.
Chen Ming actually just wanted to build an ordinary wooden building. As he did, he seemed to be unable to build an antique building that shocked the world.
Su Mingrui was also very surprised by Chen Ming's talent in carpentry: "This is the furniture you made after you have only studied carpentry for less than a month?"
"Before, I should have played with planes when I was a child." Chen Ming said.
"That doesn't count." Su Mingrui carefully looked at the set of tables and chairs made by Chen Mingxin, "If you use some better wood, this set of furniture will be sold for tens of thousands of yuan."
"That's the wood is valuable, not before my craft." Chen Ming smiled.
"But your skills are very good. I don't know how much better than the mechanically processed tables and chairs sold on the market!" Su Mingrui said.
Su Mingrui spent a few days in Chashu Village, and he ate at Chen Ming's house every meal. Su Moxi also took the opportunity to eat for free.
"This time I came here, I felt that your house seemed a little different than before. Thank you for sitting here for a while, my whole body felt much more relaxed." Su Mingrui said.
"Every time I come here, I feel that the air here is very fresh. If I stay here for a while, my whole body's fatigue will disappear suddenly." Su Moxi had already felt this way, which is why she often makes excuses to come and have a meal.
Chen Ming smiled: "Maybe it's closer to Dalong Mountain. Now there are many trees planted around and many medicinal materials. The air is much fresher than before. In the words of your city people, the negative ion concentration here is higher."
Su Mingrui felt that it was not that simple. He often went to places with very good environments for vacation. The so-called places with very rich negative ions were not as comfortable as here. But he didn't understand what was going on, so he had to give up.
"It's really addictive to stay here. I really want to live in such a place for the rest of my life." Su Mingrui said.
"Welcome Dean Su to come and play at any time." Chen Ming and Su Mingrui were more familiar with each other. Su Mingrui had no airs at all, was knowledgeable, and spoke very well. Chen Ming felt very comfortable talking to him.
Su Mingrui stayed in Chashu Village for three days and had to go back.
Originally, Chen Ming wanted to give Su Mingrui another can of tea pills, but Su Mingrui refused firmly.
"If you don't want Chawan, just take two cans of honey. I have a room of honey." Chen Ming now has two boxes of bees, each of which can shake honey once every two or three days, and you can get more than ten kilograms of honey at a time. These two boxes of bees reproduce very quickly. In a few days, the leaves of the bee colony are already full of bees. The number of bees is also very large.
The flowers in the medicinal field are blooming constantly, providing endless pollen to the bees.
Chen Ming didn't eat much honey, and the honey he had shaken was piled up in the corner of the house.
"This bee is really good, many times better than the famous brand honey sold in supermarkets. It is a good thing that you can't buy with money." Su Moxi recently ate honey every day. Her skin, which had become a little dark in the countryside, has returned to a white and tender state. This time, even skin care products have been discontinued. Eating honey alone is much better than using skin care products.
"You can put such a good thing here, it's a waste. Why don't you sell it for some? Many of my friends like this kind of honey. Do you want me to recommend it to them?" Su Mingrui didn't want to take Chen Ming's honey for nothing. It's more tiring to owe favors than to owe money.
"Then you take it all back. It's not something valuable." Chen Ming didn't care much either.
