Chapter 31 The Lost Ancient Method

"This is the lipstick you wanted." Shen You also took out the makeup remover and blush.

After the usage was introduced, Zhao Wanyi was indeed moved. How could she not buy such a natural and delicate rouge!

"I want all of these."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will arrive in the capital tomorrow and the banquet will be the day after tomorrow.

"Okay." Shen You smiled as he counted the money. "A total of one thousand taels. The pair of hairpins you picked out will cost six hundred taels. They are unique pieces."

This is the heat-shrinkable hairpin made of plastic that she found while surfing the Internet that day.

But because the product was exquisitely made and the price was not cheap, she spent six hundred yuan on it and paid extra for next-day delivery.

When she heard the word "unique piece", Zhao Wanyi's eyes showed even more satisfaction.

Xiang He went outside and got another five hundred taels of silver from the carriage, paid the money, and left the shop.

They were used to the fact that the shopkeeper didn't even give them a box for such valuable items, but just gave them two paper bags.

It was the same last time.

In other words, only when something is irreplaceable can we tolerate those rules.

After closing the [Da Qi] store, Shen You contacted Gu Shaoyu.

He asked if he could bring someone who knew the business along to take a look, and Shen You said that was no problem.

After all, it is such a valuable thing, so it is normal to be cautious.

More than an hour later, Gu Shaoyu arrived in his somewhat ostentatious car.

But Shen You didn't expect that the person who knew the business was actually someone he knew.

"Let me introduce you to Xu Jiayan. My grandfather and his maternal grandfather were neighbors. We have known each other since we were young. He studies ancient books."

"I know." Shen You nodded.

Fortunately, I was cautious and put away all the things that shouldn’t be there.

There are things that can be displayed outside.

"Nice to meet you again." Xu Jiayan said gently, "Your shop has been renovated very well."

He looked at the words and paintings hanging on the wall and praised them repeatedly, saying that the paintings in particular showed a profound foundation and in-depth research on ancient paintings.

"They were all given to me by friends." Shen You said naturally.

Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu came over and asked quietly, "What's going on? Do you know each other?"

"I know him." Xu Jiayan replied.

"That's easy, we are all family!"

After Gu Shaoyu finished speaking, he held up a jewelry box very carefully, for fear of damaging the beautiful shape he had put together.

Shen You opened it with gloves on and took a look. "This pair will probably be auctioned for more than two million."

"Good vision." Gu Shaoyu nodded.

I originally thought that Shen You was a nameless person in the antique street, and he had suddenly taken over the inheritance of a relative.

Although she studied a related major, she has not handled many good things herself and certainly has no experience.

I didn't expect to be able to tell the price at a glance.

"After you smash it, this one will only be worth tens of thousands of dollars." Shen You felt heartbroken when he saw it.

Since there were experts present, she would not waste any words.

Just take out the silver restoration technique you just used.

Gu Shaoyu is the youngest in the family and does not have to take care of the family business. He does not usually manage the family business, but after all, he has been influenced by his family since he was a child and is not an ignorant person.

A closer look will show that Shen You really knows how to repair it.

His face was filled with excitement at being saved. Before he could ask the price, Xu Jiayan exclaimed in surprise.
"You know this kind of craft?! Half a year ago, a batch of cultural relics were unearthed, and several of them used craftsmanship very similar to this one. Unfortunately, they were severely damaged, and the restoration team has been studying for a long time and still can't restore it!"

"If it's convenient, could you go to the museum and give some guidance? I'll talk to the curator about the situation, and I should be able to sign you up as an external consultant."

In other words, I have a salary, and returning to the county with this status is considered quite respectable by others. It also helps my business.

But Shen You wanted to open a shop, and she didn't want to have too much involvement with the Tibetan Museum.

"No, Brother Jiayan, you are too unethical! Why are you cutting me off? I came here first, so should I be repaired first according to the order?"

Gu Shaoyu looked at Xu Jiayan accusingly.

Shen You said softly, "I don't have the energy to run between two places and do another job. How about this, I print out the production method of this craft for you."

"If that doesn't work, I'll pick another time to go to the museum."

The latter sentence was just a polite remark. She could make it according to the method, let alone those experienced veterans in the museum.

Xu Jiayan opened his lips and said, "This is an ancient method that has been lost."

Whether only she knows it or everyone knows it is completely different from the perspective of interests.

"I know." Shen You just replied.

She doesn't rely on this for a living.

Xu Jiayan saw Shen You sitting in front of the computer preparing to print.
I thought so too. She was willing to donate even the Ru Kiln, so why would she care about this empty reputation?

I can already imagine how excited the professor's face was when he got this page of A4 paper.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiayan looked at Shen You and couldn't help but smile.

Shen You handed the printed paper to Xu Jiayan, then turned to Gu Shaoyu.

"I estimate that it will take at least half a month to repair your thing, and cost 20 yuan to make it as good as the original one."

"No problem!" Gu Shaoyu agreed immediately.

20 is nothing to him.

"You haven't told Gu Yue about this yet?" Xu Jiayan spoke at this time.

Looking at Gu Shaoyu’s expression, you can tell that he really didn’t say it.

Xu Jiayan frowned, "If you take out such a valuable thing without telling her, you will cause trouble for Shen You."

"She just came home today. I will tell her." Gu Shaoyu explained.

"If they can all be repaired to the same state as before, it won't be a big deal."

"Wait." Shen You stared at the things in the box and suddenly said, "There is a small pearl missing."

Gu Shaoyu widened his eyes, took a breath, and counted according to what Shen You said, and it was indeed wrong.

"I must have missed one when I was picking it up that day. I can't find it now. It's over."

Everyone might have been thrown away with the garbage by the aunt at home.

"Forget it, I can find one with a high similarity for you." Shen You said helplessly.

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, I won't let you pay for the order, I'll give you an extra 50,000."

Shen You did not refuse. After the business was settled, Gu Shaoyu suggested that they go out for dinner and he would treat them.

"I'll put the things away, wait for me." Shen You put Gu Shaoyu's box into the storage compartment.

After opening the Beijing store, the storage compartment has also been upgraded, with more space, so it is no problem to stuff an extra jewelry box in there.

The dinner was set at a high-end Chinese restaurant four kilometers away.

There are panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, and the sparkling lake is right next to the dining table.

Gu Shaoyu ordered two signature dishes with ease, and left the rest to Shen You and Xu Jiayan to decide.

"No more words, just tea instead of wine, thank you for helping me solve this matter."

Everyone raised their teacups and clinked them together before starting to eat.

When they came out after dinner, Shen You was still holding a whole package of pastries in her hand. Apart from anything else, Gu Shaoyu's emotional intelligence is really high.

Seeing that she liked it, he asked the waiter to pack an extra portion. After all, there were not many people who could repair his thing.
