Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 60 Rushing to Jiangcheng Overnight
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Master Jiang got off the plane. He rested in the hotel for a night. While eating the buffet breakfast, he was still thinking about the fire-proof cloth in the video.

Fu Xicheng was contacting Xu Jiayan to inquire about the matter, and when he saw the circle of friends that was posted to Jiang Cheng last night, the two people who replied were full of resentment.

He felt a little guilty, but not a lot.

"Who showed this to Mr. Xu? There should be few people in Jiangcheng who can produce something that even the old gentleman can't tell the difference between the two." He continued to inquire.

If it was someone everyone knew, he would have told it directly yesterday, so he was really curious.

Master Jiang's studio cooperates directly with the Imperial Capital Collection Museum. Where did they get the materials that they can't make?

Xu Jiayan simply and clearly sent the screenshots of the previously donated porcelain to the museum's official account.

Fu Xicheng looked at him for a long time. He had never heard of such a person before.

Next to him, Master Jiang had already checked the time several times.

The appointment is for ten o'clock in the morning.

Shen You's place was not too far away. She was wearing a solid-colored shantung gauze short-sleeved shirt and a silk swirling skirt. It was a traditional outfit, but also suitable for modern times.

I bought a set of pancakes and a cup of soy milk for breakfast at the entrance of the alley and ate them before setting off.

When arriving at the hotel, Shen You did not rush in, but waited outside for Mr. Xu who introduced them.

Xu Jiayan usually lives in an apartment not far from Jiangcheng Tibetan Museum, close to Professor Li's home, so he picked up Professor Li on the way.

Everyone entered the hotel and met in the reserved tea room.

Master Jiang and his group greeted Mr. Xu, Professor Li, and Xu Jiayan before noticing Shen You.

"This is Shen You, my apprentice. She runs a shop in Antique Street. That piece of fire-proof cloth belongs to her."

Professor Li stood beside Shen You and introduced with a smile.

Master Jiang looked at Shen You with some surprise. Such a young girl already had such connections in the circle.

Most antique shop owners can't afford to hire people like Mr. Xu and Mr. Li.

In this circle, high-end players and items are all traded at auctions or in small circles. You can’t get in without some skills.

But when I thought about how she could come up with such a precious fire-resistant cloth, everything made sense.

Fu Xicheng just told him that this person was not only the donor of a complete set of Ru kiln tea sets, but also provided the museum with lost craftsmanship.

"Hello, Miss Shen." Master Jiang greeted politely.

After the two sides got to know each other, Shen You took out the things. Master Jiang and his apprentice Fu Xicheng's breathing held for a moment, and they were speechless for a long time.

It was a good decision to come here overnight!

What Mr. Xu said on the phone yesterday was not nonsense.

Under the natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows, the faint luster emerging from the lines of the fabric is restrained, gentle, and exudes a fairy-like air.

One point more would seem too extravagant, one point less would seem a little lacking.

This is a perfect texture. Even Master Jiang, who is familiar with various ancient weaving techniques, has never seen such a unique fabric.

He is an expert in this field and knows its value better. It is a priceless treasure!

Seeing Shen You raising the lighter and about to burn it, Master Jiang and Fu Xiyan almost jumped up in anxiety.

Although I know that they must have tried it with fire a long time ago, I just can't stand such a simple and crude behavior that may damage the cloth.

It was so frightening to watch for a few seconds.

"We need some time to take a closer look." Master Jiang asked Shen You with his eyes.

"no problem."

The master and disciple were very happy to get Shen You's consent. They were much more careful than Shen You had been before, as if they were holding not a piece of cloth but a fragile treasure.

Master Jiang and Fu Xiyan were examining it carefully using their professional methods, while Shen You and the others were drinking tea and chatting at the tea table. "How is the hair crown being repaired?" Professor Li asked with concern.

"It's going smoothly at the moment, but the process is really complicated and takes a long time." Shen You answered truthfully.

"That's good." Professor Li nodded. "If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."

"Okay." Shen You didn't shy away from Professor Li. "Once I've fixed this, I'll have time to come and help you."

Professor Li smiled with satisfaction and almost showed off to everyone how great his disciple was.

"How can you talk about work as soon as you meet me?" Old Master Xu turned to Shen You and smiled lovingly.

"You don't have a boyfriend yet, right? Tell Grandpa Xu what kind of boyfriend you like and he will arrange one for you."

Speaking of this issue, Xu Jiayan looked over with a little more anticipation in his eyes. Professor Li looked at this and came over curiously.

He usually sees Jiayan's ability and character.

Even a prominent family like the Xu family, with its wealth and power, has a more complicated situation than an ordinary family.

Mr. Xu is very satisfied with this girl Shen You.

If both young people have this intention, there will be no problem with the support of Mr. Xu. However, Shen You's personality may not be able to accept the way of a big family.

Facing everyone's gaze, Shen You was stunned for two seconds before answering, "I don't have any idea about this yet."

She was too embarrassed to say what kind she liked.

She is a rather vulgar person. She likes guys who are over 180cm tall, good-looking, have abdominal muscles, and can cheat her of her feelings but not her money.

"Young people are like this now, putting work first." Grandpa Xu smiled and shook his head, "If you find someone you like in the future, be sure to tell Grandpa Xu, and I will help you screen them."

Shen You smiled and nodded.

Master Jiang and the others over there were also watching it, with expressions of joy on their faces.

"Ms. Shen, can I take some pictures of this fire-resistant cloth?" Fu Xicheng asked politely.

"Okay." Shen You agreed, knowing that he was going to send it to the studio team.

Fu Xicheng uses a camera that can capture as many details as possible.

When he sent two simple photos he took with his mobile phone to the group of his classmates, everyone was excited.

"It's really a fireproof cloth! I've never seen it before! But I still don't know what it's made of."

The Classic of Mountains and Seas and some mythological stories all record the raw materials for making fire-resistant cloth, each of which has its own magic.

The most common theory now is that it is natural asbestos, which is a silicate mineral.

But to make this thing into the extremely exquisite cloth in front of us, the process must be very difficult.

"Miss Shen." Master Jiang spoke up, "What are you going to do with this fire-proof cloth?"

If he wants to sell it, he will definitely buy it.

But there is still no second piece of this priceless treasure, and the weaving technique is also a mystery. Unless you really need the money, no one would be willing to spend it.

Just watch here for a while. Even the most capable person can only see the surface.

Only by returning to the studio with a professional team can we analyze the raw materials and weaving techniques and replicate them.

This requires the consent of the owner of the item, which is difficult.

"What do you say?"

Shen You put the question to Master Jiang, wanting to hear his opinion first.

She really couldn't bear to sell it since it was such a rare thing.
