After finishing, Chen Yang added to Zhang Xulin, "Uncle Zhang, although this painting looks a lot like the original, it's too new. I'm afraid it won't fool the professionals."
Zhang Xulin was startled for a moment, then anxiously asked, "What should we do? Is there a quick way to age it?"
Chen Yang stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then said, "There's a framing shop on the east side of Vermilion Bird Bridge. Have someone take the painting there and ask the shop owner to help age it. It should be done in about an hour!"
"Can it really be done in an hour?" Zhang Xulin asked uncertainly.
In his memory, aging a painting was a very complex process. Whether using direct dyeing or fumigation, it would usually take a day or two.
He had never seen anyone who could age a painting in just one hour!
