1443. glass man

After watching the aurora outside the door of the Ice and Snow Hotel for a while, until the gorgeous aurora swept across the horizon, Qin Shiou felt a little cold when she saw that Winnie felt a little cold, so she took her hand back to the hall.

A young white man dressed as a waiter saw the two of them walking in together and smiled and said, "The aurora is beautiful, right?"

Qin Shiou exclaimed: "It's so beautiful. Man, I have to admit that I've never seen such a beautiful light! But I don't seem to be very interested?"

The young man shrugged and said, "Even if he tastes like a king crab, he will get tired of eating too much, right?"

Qin Shiou smiled. The young man was obviously a local. It is estimated that for him, aurora was like a fisherman's waves, which was too common.

He wanted to agree, but Winnie suddenly turned her head and stared at him. Qin Daren's heart was beating. He had a sudden inspiration to understand Winnie's thoughts, so he hugged her and said seriously to the young man: "No, young man, what you said is wrong. If the king crab is really delicious, how can you get tired of eating it? Just like if you really love a woman, no matter how long you have been with her, you will not get tired of it!"

Winnie smiled with satisfaction, and she hugged Qin Shiou's arm sweetly and said, "Dear, I'm very happy that you have such an awareness."

The young man said, "Okay, maybe you're right. I love my mother very much. We have been together for more than 20 years, and I'm not tired of it."

Qin Shiou nodded and left, and the young man quietly added: "My mother washes and cooks me, so I'm not tired of it, where is your wife?"

"Then you can do more for me." Qin Daren said proudly, "For example, in such a cold day, my wife can help me warm the bed."

The young man suddenly became so envious that he muttered: "Damn it, why can't I have such a wife?"

The next day, it was almost noon before the sun showed up, but the weather began to get better. Although the sun was a little weak, it was very bright.

The little doorman came to them again and asked expectantly: "Where do you want to go today?"

Qin Shiou and Winnie discussed it and went to the beautiful and famous Ilulisat Ice Fjord today.

As a result, after riding on the sled, I found a handicraft shop, and the little doorman told them that it was one of the newly emerging industries in Greenland, the Glass Bird Shop.

"It is said that many cities in Nordic countries do this. Someone here just opened such a store, haha, but it's very interesting. They can make beautiful glass birds, glass fish, glass dogs, etc. If you want to bring gifts back, it's it." The little doorman said happily.

Qin Shiou and Winnie entered the store and said it was a store. In fact, the store is very large, like a workshop, with many machines buzzing in it.

After the group walked in, a waiter came to receive him and asked them what they needed.

Qin Shiou looked at it and it was different from what he understood. He thought that the so-called glass birds and glass fish were like glass handicrafts made by domestic craftsmen. They made some small animals by polishing and carving glass.

In fact, it is not that simple. The color of glass animals is almost the same as that of living creatures. They are not painted after carving, but are carved with glass of different colors and finally matched.

In other words, if you want to make a parrot, you need to carve feathers in green glass, make a body in white glass, make a bird's beak in yellow glass, and make eyes in black glass. After these parts are made, they are pasted to form a perfect parrot.

This is a real technical job!

"It's so beautiful, so realistic." Winnie exclaimed.

The waiter smiled proudly, then picked up the little seal that Qin Shiou was looking at and put it in a glass jar. As the water rippled, the little seal seemed to be alive inside.

"It's a clever trick!" Qin Shiou also praised, and then he had a sudden inspiration and asked, "You are all made on-site, right? For example, I want a hummingbird or a dog. Do you do it on-site?"

The waiter said: "Yes, it can be done on site, but it is a bit expensive and it takes a long time. If you want to buy finished products, there are many species of animals, especially birds, which are almost all."

Qin Shiou opened the door and asked the waiter to see the tiger, leopard, bear and wolf outside, and said, "Can you make one according to their appearance?"

The waiter looked at it and smiled in surprise: "Oh, God, you actually used a bear to pull the sled? This is really cool! Oh, sorry, I can do it if I miss the topic, but it may be a long time that you expected."

"How long?" Qin Shiou asked with interest.

The waiter asked them to wait, and then found a middle-aged man wearing glasses and work clothes.

The man shook hands with Qin Shiou, saying that he was the owner of the glass handicraft store, and then asked, "I heard from my guy, do you want to make a model of a pet? How many do you want to make?"

Qin Shiou said: "Yes, we want to do this, but we don't know how long we will have to wait."

The man considered it and said, "Depending on the price you give, the average price, each one only costs four hundred yuan, and the time is one and a half hours; if you are willing to give the expedited price..."

"Okay, this time is enough. We will stay here for a few days. Look at the little guys outside, do you need their photos or what? Pinch each of them." Winnie said simply, not giving the boss a chance to fool him.

Qin Shiou added: "Then can you make glass man? My wife and I."

The boss nodded and said, "This is OK, but it's expensive, because you know, it will take a while for a while to carve a piece of glass into a human form."

"How much?"

"One person is a thousand hundred yuan."

"We want to carve thirty people for five hundred yuan." Winnie bargained happily.

The boss shook his head and said firmly: "This is a big order, beautiful lady, I really want to take it, but the price you gave is too outrageous. To be honest, carving a glass man..."

"Then it's six hundred yuan!"

"No, it's not a matter of price, this labor amount is simply..."

"How about eight hundred yuan? One person, thirty people are twenty-four thousand yuan!"

"Hurry people and speak quickly, ladies, deal!"

The boss is not fooling around making money. It is indeed quite complicated to make these glass handicrafts. He needs to direct the design and cooperate with multiple production lines.

The production of tiger, leopard, bear and wolf are simple. Their colors are single, and only black-footed ferrets are a little more complicated. For example, the little white wolf has only two colors on its body, black eyes and white bodies.

But the producer's statue is very troublesome. Take Qin Shiou as an example, hair, skin color, lips, clothes, pants, and shoes. As long as the colors are different, they have to be selected and pieced together one by one.

Of course, the final production is indeed realistic. Qin Shiou felt that this craft was too awesome. If someone said it was a wax figure, he would believe it. (To be continued.)
