Chapter 660 Beauty Looks at Beauty
Su Xing didn’t know much about the strange stone circle before. After listening to Shen Bai telling her about this antique and strange stone exchange meeting, she took some time out in the past few days to look up some information and borrowed two related books from the library.
When she got tired of studying and drawing, she would just flip through a few pages of interesting reading material to rest her brain.
Among the pictures of famous strange stones she had searched, the ones that surprised her the most were some picture stones and pictographic stones. Each of these strange stones made her marvel at the wonders of nature.
However, the value of those strange stones is truly amazing. The most famous ones are worth hundreds of millions, and some are even estimated to be worth more than ten billion.
For example, "Dongpo Pork", chick hatching, blood and gall golden lotus, years, and the map of China.
Several of the ten most unusual stones are collected by the People's Government of Chaoyang District in Beijing, "Dongpo Pork" is collected in the Taipei Museum, and a few are in the hands of some collectors.
There are also some rare stones that have been sold among players in recent years, and the transaction prices are often hundreds of thousands or even millions.
This circle is really not something that ordinary people can afford to play in.
Shen Bai looked at Su Xing's expectant expression and felt reluctant to pour cold water on her.
He hesitated for a few seconds, then told the truth: "Actually, the strange stone circle is also quite messy."
"Uh..." Su Xing said, "It seems like there are a lot of artificially made stones?"
Shen Bai smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Su knows something."
Su Xing said: "I was reading books and materials recently and saw some methods of counterfeiting strange stones. I am quite curious about those counterfeiting methods."
Another reason why she is interested in strange stones is that she wants to see with her own eyes the counterfeiting methods used. She feels that some of these methods can even be used in the restoration of cultural relics.
At this moment, the two of them have already walked into the strange stone area.
Su Xing was talking to Shen Bai while glancing at the booths on both sides.
Most of the booths in this area displayed some Yuhua stones. She hadn't seen any stones that she particularly wanted to examine carefully yet, so she continued walking forward.
Shen Bai actually heard a hint of eagerness to try in Su Xing's tone.
"?" Shen Bai looked at Su Xing with a question mark on his face, "Are you interested in counterfeiting stones?"
Su Xing said: "I have looked into some ways of counterfeiting strange stones, such as carving and restoration, splicing and combination, dyeing and aging, etc. In fact, there are similar techniques in cultural relics restoration, but the principle of cultural relics restoration is not to interfere with the historical information analysis of cultural relics."
Shen Bai: "...Ms. Su is indeed a top student."
I really love learning...
After a pause, he teased, "Instead of learning how to forge stones, you might as well learn how to forge antiques, which is closer to your cultural relic restoration."
Su Xing smiled at Shen Bai and said, "If I have the chance, I plan to learn it."
Shen Bai, "Ah?"
Su Xing said: "We follow the principles of 'restoring the old as it was' and 'minimum intervention' in the restoration of cultural relics. During the restoration process, we must preserve the original materials and historical information of the cultural relics to the greatest extent possible. The purpose is to protect and restore the original appearance of the cultural relics, preserve their structure and function, and extend their lifespan as much as possible, so as to provide physical materials for historical, cultural, and artistic research, and also allow the cultural relics to better display and inherit cultural values.
The purpose of antique counterfeiting is more utilitarian, that is, to seek profit. Profit can stimulate people's potential in many aspects, such as innovation and creativity. Therefore, the restoration techniques of some antique counterfeiters may be very powerful. If I have the opportunity, I would like to learn their techniques and use their essence in the restoration of our cultural relics."
Shen Bai was stunned for a moment, then gave Su Xing a thumbs up, "Ms. Su is a very thoughtful person, I support you."
Su Xing's tone suddenly became more serious, and he added: "However, it is difficult for people not to be tempted by interests. I hope I can stick to my heart and maintain my moral bottom line."
Although she was chatting with Shen Bai, she was actually speaking to herself.
In fact, she cannot guarantee what kind of person she will become in the future. She can only make her values as clear and firm as possible, strengthen her heart, cultivate determination, and adhere to the moral bottom line.
Also, use your own abilities and means to accumulate enough wealth to satisfy your desires, so that you don't have to worry about things you don't lack.
Shen Bai said: "I believe in Miss Su's character. You are not someone who will be tempted by wealth and lose your original heart."
Su Xing laughed, "Thank you for your affirmation of my moral character, but I am not a person who regards money as dirt. I also love money."
Shen Bai said: "It's right to love money. Everyone loves wealth, but I believe you are a gentleman who loves money and will get it in a proper way."
"Thanks for the affirmation."
The two of them then came to an exhibition area with pictures of strange rocks.
There was a booth with a lot of people, many of whom were stopping to admire a large picture stone.
This stone is about 60 cm high and 40 cm wide. On it is a girl lying sideways. The girl's facial contours are clear and her figure is graceful, which is very attractive.
Many people gathered around the stone, admiring and commenting on it.
Some people think it is a naturally formed strange stone, while others quietly question it and think it is a man-made pattern.
The owner of the booth said loudly: "This is a natural stone. I spent more than 700,000 yuan to buy it. It was also appraised by an expert and has a certificate."
He took out his certificate and showed it to everyone.
Su Xing and Shen Bai also stopped and stood on the outskirts of the crowd, observing the stone.
Su Xing had only read two books and searched some information, so she couldn't tell at a glance whether the stone was real or not.
However, based on her painting skills, she felt that the beauty on the stone did not seem to be naturally formed.
She wanted to get closer to take a look.
Seeing Su Xing stretching his neck and looking intently at the stone, Shen Bai said, "You can move forward a little."
"Uh-huh."
Su Xing responded and moved forward.
Shen Bai also followed her and took two steps forward.
When the owner of the booth saw Shen Bai, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Hey? It's Boss Shen."
Shen Bai nodded to the other party, "Hello, Boss Wu."
"Okay." Boss Wu looked at Su Xing again, "Who is this lady?"
He didn't dare to make any random guesses.
Shen Bai said: "Ms. Su, a friend of mine."
Boss Wu smiled and asked Su Xing: "It turns out to be Miss Su. Miss Su, are you interested in my stone?"
Su Xing nodded and smiled, "It's beautiful, Boss Wu, can I take a closer look?"
"Of course, take a look."
He thought to himself: This Miss Su is even more beautiful than the beauty on his precious stone.
Su Xing got Boss Wu's consent, squatted down a little to block other people's sight, then put his face close to the stone and observed it carefully.
The people around: "..."
Why do beautiful women look at other beautiful women like this?
