Then, he threw his head back and swallowed the Qilin's eye, opening his mouth to speak,
"Paper lasts a thousand years, silk preserves for eight hundred, indeed."
"Really!"
Xiantong rejoiced, pushing the glutinous rice bowl to the eunuch, "Come on, come on, it's your turn!"
The special agent eunuch lifted the bowl, sniffed it, and shook his head, "People say it's about the paste maker, but restoring ancient relics isn't just about pasting. On the smaller scale, it involves washing, uncovering, repairing, backing, and completes five steps.
Even the glue-making process requires removing gluten from flour, sifting and washing, settling for three days to remove impurities, repeat sifting, boiling, and careful comparison to restore the paper's color. Otherwise, doing it hastily will only spoil this rare artifact."
Xiantong nodded repeatedly, "Oh yes, yes, yes! You're absolutely right! What should we do?"
