Hearing Willow's words, everyone widened their eyes in surprise, "What? Do you know how to restore this ancient painting?"
"Yes." Willow smiled, warm and soft like a spring breeze.
Peter spoke slowly, "Willow said that she has read a lot of related books and finally found a way to restore this ancient painting. She came specifically to tell us, hoping to help us."
Everyone looked at each other, unable to make up their minds.
This ancient painting was badly damaged, and everyone was helpless. The state banquet was only a few days away, and time was getting tighter. Everyone was getting anxious!
Now, hearing that Willow had a way to fix it, how could they not be tempted?
One of the more senior restorers came forward and asked, "Miss Sullivan, can you explain your method?"
Willow smiled faintly and spoke eloquently, "First, use conventional methods to clean the stains on the painting. Rinse the painting with hot water at 60 degrees to remove the stains on the surface..."
Willow went on to say a lot of professional terms.
The more the cultural relics restorers listened, the more excited they became. After hearing it, their eyes lit up, "This method sounds feasible! What do you think?"
"You can give it a try! It's a good idea!"
...
Seeing these cultural relics restorers gathered in front of Willow, the corners of Carl's mouth twitched not far away. These people changed their faces too quickly.
But there was no way. This ancient painting was too difficult to repair, and time was urgent. Of course, everyone wanted to know how to restore it.
Carl rolled his eyes and asked Victoria beside him, puzzled, "Victoria, can ancient paintings be poured into 60-degree hot water?"
Victoria nodded, "Yes, in ancient times, painting pigments were generally divided into mineral pigments and plant pigments. The ancient paintings that have been passed down are generally mineral pigments, which do not dissolve in water like modern ink. Moreover, in ancient times, paper was produced by scooping it out of water, so it's fine to use water."
Mr. Wright stroked his beard approvingly, "That's right, it's what Victoria said."
Carl finally understood a bit and gained some knowledge.
In a short while, the cultural relics restorers had already listened to Willow's restoration methods and formulated a restoration plan.
Peter concluded, "This is the best restoration plan at the moment. As long as there are no mistakes, this ancient painting can be restored to the greatest extent."
Another restoration expert urged excitedly, "Then let's start quickly! Time is running out, we can't delay any longer!"
"Wait." A boy with glasses next to him raised his hand to stop him, "We're having a lively discussion here. Victoria, Carl, and Mr. Wright have been waiting in the corner. Let's call them."
Peter immediately frowned, "They don't know how to restore cultural relics."
Peter only knew how to draw, but didn't know how to restore cultural relics. What would be the use of calling her here besides causing trouble?
"Well, that's true..." The boy with glasses stopped mentioning them and continued, "For safety's sake, let the most experienced and qualified person do the restoration. This way, we can avoid mistakes, right?"
Many cultural relic experts wanted to restore an ancient famous painting, which is a professional achievement.
But now time was pressing, to ensure the successful restoration of the ancient painting, only the most experienced person could be chosen to avoid any mistakes.
Everyone looked at each other, "Among us, the most experienced and qualified person is Peter."
"Peter, you should do the restoration! We'll be here to assist you. If you need help, just say so. The most important thing now is to restore the painting!"
Peter pondered for a moment. He was not arrogant. He was indeed the one with the most seniority here.
"Okay, then I'll do it," Peter responded.
Willow thoughtfully said, "Teacher Montgomery, let me help you, so it will be faster. Besides, we have restored other ancient paintings together before, so we have a good cooperation!"
Peter thought for a moment. Willow was really good at restoring ancient paintings, so he nodded, "Of course."
A trace of imperceptible satisfaction flashed in Willow's eyes.
