Guo Shixuan's meaning was very clear, that is, to hand over the porcelain bowl to Wen Lao, as long as the ultimate goal can be achieved without damaging the porcelain bowl itself.

"Okay! That's good!"

"If I hadn't guessed that this porcelain bowl should be a family heirloom, in order to prevent the porcelain bowl from being damaged, the family attached a layer of earthenware to it." Wen Lao nodded and continued.

"It should be like this. I'm not too clear about the specific situation. I also took it back from the owner of this porcelain bowl." Guo Shixuan basically had the same opinion as Elder Wen.

"I'll start working after I make some preparations!" Now that he has obtained the owner's permission, Elder Wen is no longer pretentious, and intends to restore the porcelain bowl to its original appearance as quickly as possible.

"it is good!"

"The two of you wait for me here, and I'll go back when I go." After Wen Lao finished speaking, he walked out of the study, his steps were very vigorous.

"What did Wen Lao go to do?" Poor Hou couldn't even get in the conversation today, he could only watch the two people talking silently from the sidelines, and now he finally had a chance to speak.

"I don't know either. It should be to prepare materials and tools." Guo Shixuan was also confused.

I don't know what kind of method the other party will use to make this porcelain bowl show its true colors.

After a while, Elder Wen led Lin Bo into the study. Elder Wen was holding a pot of hot water in his hand, while Lin Bo behind him was holding a copper basin with a little water in it.

It's just that the water in the basin is cold water, while the water in Wen Lao's hands is hot water.

"Old man, what are you going to do?" Poor Hou couldn't help but asked Elder Wen.

"You'll know in a while." Wen Lao said with a smile.

Seeing Wen Lao's confident appearance, Guo Shixuan was also relieved a lot, it seemed that the other party really had a way.

The two of them watched as Elder Wen poured the hot water into the copper basin filled with cold water, and kept stirring it with his hands until he felt it was a suitable water temperature.

He directly buckled the porcelain plate upside down into the copper basin.

Guo Shixuan and Poor Hou looked at all this in surprise, this is the way to soak in water!
The outer layer of earthen pottery was soaked away by soaking in water. Now Guo Shixuan understood what Wen Lao's unconventional means meant.

Is it just this way?

To say the least, there are decades of clay pottery attached to it. Looking at the steam in the water, the water temperature should be moderate. Can this really dissolve those clay pottery?

Lin Bo didn't leave either, and stood aside quietly watching the operations of several people, giving Elder Wen a hand.

Time passed by, and the blue-and-white porcelain bowl did not move, and it was still the same as before when it was soaked in warm water.

After soaking for less than half an hour, Mr. Wen turned the blue and white porcelain bowl over again, so that the whole blue and white porcelain bowl was soaked in the water and sank to the bottom.

Because the blue and white porcelain bowl is not too big, it can soak the whole bowl.

"There's no response!" Poor Hou couldn't help but said.

These days, he has basically been staring at the blue and white porcelain bowl intently.

He wondered if there would be any changes, but to his great disappointment, it had been more than half an hour, but there was still nothing in the blue and white porcelain bowl.

"What are you in a hurry for? Is this matter urgent? If it can be easily removed, it would be meaningless to add another layer of clay."

"Hey! You can't just scrape off the top clay layer with a blade, otherwise it will definitely damage the enamel of the bowl itself." Elder Wen also seemed a little helpless.

However, as someone who often deals with these antiques and cultural relics, he knows that this thing is like this, so he can't be too anxious. It must be very difficult to deal with this thing that has passed for hundreds of years.

If you broke something in a hurry, it would not only be a matter of your own reputation, it would probably destroy a peerless treasure.

"All right, all right." Tattered Hou shut his mouth embarrassingly, just wait and see what happens.

Less than 15 minutes later, some small and dense air bubbles emerged from the surface of the inner wall of the blue and white porcelain bowl.

"There is movement!" Guo Shixuan immediately sat up straight, his eyes fixed on the blue and white porcelain bowl.

"Well, it seems to be effective." Wen Lao nodded.

As long as the blue and white porcelain bowl is a little loose, the back can be easily solved, even if the iron bucket doesn't even move, then the back can't be opened.

Seeing the bubbles change from small and dense to large and sparse, the bubbles are getting bigger and bigger, and if you listen carefully, there will be a gurgling sound.

This shows that the interior of the clay pottery is decomposed again.

It can't be the air bubbles exposed from the blue and white porcelain bowl, then it can only be clay pottery.

After all, clay pottery is still soil after all, and it will never become porcelain, so as long as you grasp this feature and dissolve the soil with water, the surface of the clay pottery will be easily solved.

This principle also uses the principle of mutual generation and restraint of gold, wood, water, fire and earth among the five elements.

Among them, water and soil are mutual growth and mutual restraint. Wen Lao used this characteristic to think of using water to dissolve the surface soil pottery.

As the bubbles grow bigger and bigger, the inner wall of the blue and white porcelain bowl has cracks, especially the bottom of the bowl, which is now spreading out like a spider web.

But the crack is not from the blue and white porcelain bowl itself, but from the clay pottery on top.

Elder Wen cautiously reached in and pressed the bottom of the bowl a few times, feeling that the bottom of the bowl was indeed soft.

There was a look of joy on his face: "In five minutes at most, the whole pottery clay will be soaked soft, and then this layer can come down with a flick of your hand."

"This will not damage the embryo of the blue and white porcelain drama itself, but also soften the layer of clay on the surface. As long as the clay is soft, everything behind will be easy to handle." Wen Lao explained.

Guo Shixuan nodded heavily. Why didn't he see that it was clay, and he didn't think of soaking the bowl with water to soak up the clay layer.

It is estimated that the family has kept the bowl cool and dry since it was sealed with that layer of clay for a hundred years, and has never let the bowl get wet again.

I don’t know if the person who sealed the pottery clay told his descendants not to soak this blue and white porcelain bowl with water, otherwise, the secret would have been revealed long ago, and it would not be Guo Shixuan’s turn to pick up this big leak up.

However, the pottery clay used by the ancestors for this blue and white porcelain bowl is indeed high-quality pottery clay, otherwise, after so many years of oxidation, the surface of the pottery pottery clay should have cracked long ago, and it would not be able to play a protective role.
