"Professor Hu never taught you?"

Hu Xiangsheng is from the older generation and has inherited the tradition. When it comes to making paints, Xiao also inherits the mantle. After all, she is also Hu Xiangsheng's student.

Sheng Tang smiled a little sheepishly and rubbed her hands, "I can just buy the paints I usually use in the market. I haven't done it myself." After all, she had never repaired murals before, so she only knew how to do it.

The traditional techniques are quite cool, but I have never learned them in detail from Hu Xiangsheng.

Jiang Zhi smiled and said nothing. He put on his gloves and packed the soaked garcinia.

In the traditional pigment series, Garcinia is a plant-based pigment that can also be purchased in traditional Chinese medicine stores. However, those used for mural restoration are usually imported from India. Garcinia is toxic, so it needs to be used before use.

Soak the water and then add some light glue.

When Sheng Tang saw that he didn't answer, he felt a little anxious, but he couldn't show it. After thinking about it, he turned around and said, "I'm so sorry to fall asleep here. Did I give you any trouble?"

Trouble?"

Jiang Zhi walked to the operating table, tightened the rope on the bamboo, and said slowly, "It will definitely cause more trouble, but luckily -" He raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "I'm used to it."

If she can't tell, does that mean that she usually causes him a lot of trouble, and this person is shameless? She keeps to herself and is cautious about her words and deeds, so why does she cause him trouble?

Don't go too far as a person. If you are given a step, go down. Don't climb along the pole.

Moreover, she protected his privacy so much that she asked him about the violin before he got straight to the point.

Sheng Tang came closer to him, looked up at his side face, and smiled flatteringly, "Well... So, you are a very, very good person. You don't bother me when I am such a troublesome person, and you still take care of me like this.

"

Jiang held the mortar in his hand, which contained finely ground color powder. He continued to grind it a few times, "Do you feel comfortable?"

"ah?"

"Do you feel comfortable saying something against your will?"

Sheng Tang rolled his eyes, "How can I go against my heart? I mean every sentence from the bottom of my heart."

Jiang Zhi raised his lips slightly, "Tell me what you want to do."

"You can teach me how to make paints, apply gold and lime powder, etc." Although this time the practical part of the restoration will definitely be handed over to either Qi Yu or Xiao Ye, but since she is involved, how much more can be done

Learning the same thing is the same, who can guarantee who will rely on what to make a living in the future?

Jiang Zhi glanced at her, said nothing, walked around to the workbench, poured out the colored powder in the mortar, and lowered his head to do his own work.

"Um..." Sheng Tang came to him again like a little follower, "Or you can use the flying water method again. I'm very smart and can do it at a glance."

"Not only will you be allowed to sleep in my place, but I will also have to perform for you once. Do you think I am a nanny and part-time juggling?"

Sheng Tang gave up and raised his hand to hold the hem of his clothes and gently shook it twice, "Master..."

Jiang Zhi lowered his head, glanced at her hand, and then looked at her again. The corners of his slightly pursed lips slightly raised, and there was a smile in his eyes. Sheng Tang was definitely a discerning girl. When he saw this, he whispered softly, "You

Just teach me."

Jiang Zhi suppressed a smile and said, "I will demonstrate it to you once. You can learn as much as you can."

"okay."

In fact, the overall process of making flying water is simple, but the difficulty lies in experience. Jiang Zhi directly mixed the color powder that he had just installed with water, stirred gently, let the thickest particles settle, continued grinding, and poured it into the binder.

In a good bamboo tube.

"You need to stand it in the bamboo tube overnight, and when the water flows away along the cracks of the bamboo, the color paste will be left."

Sheng Tang was a little disappointed when he heard that, "We still have to wait all night..."

Jiang Zhi looked at her look and wanted to laugh even more, but he did not tease her and said, "When the dryness reaches a certain level, you need to untie the rope on the bamboo and open the bamboo. You can see that the color paste is layered.

The ones at the bottom are thicker and the ones at the top are thinner.”

Although it was not possible to operate immediately, the teaching did not stop and Jiang Zhi spoke carefully.

"The bottom one was called 'Tou Qing', also called 'Tou Green' in ancient times, and the ones above it were called 'Er Green' or 'Er Green', and the top ones were called 'Four Greens' and 'Four Greens', and then each

Separate the layers for later use. To put it bluntly, the flying water method is very simple. It is the filtration process of the pigment. The most important thing is to control the dryness and wetness of the pigment."

This made it clear to Sheng Tang, "I heard from Qi Yu before that the ancient construction teams that restored Tibetan murals and thangkas all used this oldest color-making method."

"Yes." Jiang Zhi said, "Xiao Ye and Qi Yu were both apprentices taught by Professor Hu step by step, and both of them are now masters of traditional color-making methods. The older generation of restorers in Dunhuang are very good at using pigments.

Strictly, especially when copying Dunhuang murals, you have to make the pigments yourself. Mineral pigments cannot be blended with each other. If you only have the first green color but want to use the second green color, you cannot simply combine the two into one. Of course, you can mix the mineral coloring part.

Most clearly."

Sheng Tang nodded. She had done copying and knew that there were strict procedures for mixing various paints.

"The ancient method of color making is better in texture and color. If you want to grind the color, you should use a stone trough. The ground powder will be separated into color numbers according to the method of flying water." Jiang Zhi gestured towards the stone trough in the corner.

Stone troughs are common. There is a round stone roller in the middle of the stone trough, which is convenient for rolling mineral materials back and forth. This thing has been passed down from ancient times to the present. Even though modern stone grinding technology is advanced, fast and convenient, stone trough grinding is so time-consuming.

Traditional methods are still the most commonly used by Dunhuang restorers.

Sheng Tang pushed further and said, "Let me do it once."

"What's the rush? There's a long way to go." Jiang Zhi chuckled.

"Anyway, idleness is idle." Sheng Tang thought that the most important thing was persistence.

Jiang Zhi leaned against the console, sighed, and said seriously, "Xiao Qi, come here."

A bit serious.

Sheng Tang felt a little uneasy and moved to him in small steps, thinking about it in his mind. Did he say something wrong?

Jiang Zhi didn't speak, but just looked at her. She felt like her hairs were about to stand on end. Just when she was about to ask him what was wrong, she saw him leaning over, his face close to hers, "You want to sleep in the same bed with me?"

Well……

"It's so late and I don't think you have any intention of going home. I think you may have this idea." Jiang Zhi smiled.

Sheng Tang reacted suddenly.
