1443. Glass Man (3/5)

After watching the aurora outside the ice and snow hotel for a long time, until the gorgeous aurora swept across the entire sky, Qin Shiou saw that Wei Ni felt a little cold, so he took her hand and went back to the hall.

A young Caucasian man dressed as a waiter saw the two walking in together and said with a smile, "The aurora is beautiful, isn't it?"

Qin Shiou exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, buddy, I have to admit, I have never seen such a beautiful light! But I don't think you are very interested?"

The young man shrugged and said, "Even if it's as delicious as king crab, you'll get tired if you eat too much, right?"

Qin Shiou laughed. The young man is obviously a local. It is estimated that to him, the aurora is like a fisherman to the waves, it is too common.

He wanted to agree, but Wei Ni suddenly turned her head and stared at him. Daguan Qin's heart skipped a beat, and he had an idea to understand Wei Ni's thoughts, so he quickly hugged her and said to the young man seriously: "No, young man, you You are wrong, if 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 are with her, you will never get tired of it!"

Winnie smiled in satisfaction, she put her arms around Qin Shiou's arm sweetly and said, "Honey, I'm very glad you have such an awareness."

The young man said: "Well, maybe you are right, I love my mother very much, we have been together for more than 20 years, and I really haven't gotten tired of it."

Qin Shiou nodded and left, and the young man quietly added: "My mother washes and cooks for me, so I'm not tired. Where's your wife?"

"Then there are many things that can be done for me." Official Qin said triumphantly, "For example, on such a cold day, my wife can help me warm my bed."

The young man was so envious, he mumbled, "Damn it, why can't I have a wife like this?"

The next day was still near noon, and the sun didn't show up, but the weather began to improve. Although the sun was a little weak, it was very bright.

The little doorman came to look for them again. Asked expectantly: "Where do you want to go to see today?"

Qin Shiou and Winnie have discussed that today we will go to the beautiful and famous Ilulissat Icefjord.

As a result, after taking a sled on the road, they found a handicraft store, and the little doorman told them. That's one of Greenland's fledgling industries, glass bird shops.

"It is said that many cities in northern Europe do this. We just opened such a shop here, haha, but it is very interesting. They can make beautiful glass birds, glass fish, glass dogs, etc.

If you're going to take a gift home with you, this is it. "The little door boy said happily.

Qin Shiou and Weini entered the shop, saying it was a shop, but in fact the shop was very large, like a workshop, with many machines buzzing at work.

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

Qin Shiou looked at it, and it was different from what he understood. He thought the so-called glass bird, glass fish. Just like the glass handicrafts made by domestic craftsmen, some small animals are made by grinding and carving glass.

In fact, it is not so simple. The color of glass animals is almost the same as that of living things. 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 green glass to carve feathers, white glass to make the body, yellow glass to make the beak, and black glass to make the eyes. After these parts are made. Paste them together to form a perfect parrot.

This is real technical work!

"It's really beautiful, it's so realistic." Winnie praised.

The waiter smiled proudly, and then picked up the little seal that Qin Shiou was looking at. Put it in a glass tank, and with the rippling water, the little seal seems to be alive in it.

"It's so ingenious!" Qin Shiou also praised it, and then he had an idea and asked, "You all made it on the spot, right? For example, I want a hummingbird or a dog. Do you do it on the spot?"

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

Qin Shiou opened the door and let the waiter see the tigers, leopards, bears and wolves outside, and said, "Can you make one according to their appearance?"

The waiter looked at it and smiled in surprise: "Oh, God, you actually use a bear to pull the sleigh? This is really cool! Oh, sorry, I got off topic-it can be done, but maybe the time is beyond your expectations long time."

"How long?" Qin Shiou asked with interest.

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

The man shook hands with Qin Shiou, said that he was the owner of this glass handicraft shop, and then asked, "I heard from my buddy, you want to make pet models? How many do you want?"

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

The man thought about it and said: "Look at the price you gave, the normal price, each one only costs 400 yuan, and the time is one and a half hours to make one; if you are willing to give an expedited price..."

"Okay, that's enough time, we're going to stay here for a few days. Look at those little guys outside, do you need their photos or something? Squeeze each of them." Winnie said bluntly, not to be fooled by the boss Chance.

Qin Shiou added: "Then can you make glass people? Me and my wife."

The boss nodded and said: "This is also possible, but it will be more expensive, because you know, it takes a long time to carve a piece of glass into a human shape."

"How much?"

"A person is one thousand and one hundred."

"Five hundred yuan each, we want to carve thirty people." 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, to carve a glass man..."

"That's six hundred yuan!"

"No, it's not about the price, the amount of labor is simply..."

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

"Quick talk, ma'am, deal!"

The boss is not fooling around to make money. Making these glass handicrafts is indeed quite complicated, requiring him to direct the design and cooperate with multiple production lines.

It is simple to make tigers, leopards, bears and wolves, their color is single, only the black-footed ferret is a bit more complicated, such as the little white wolf has only two colors, black eyes and white body.

But it is troublesome to make a statue of a person. Using Qin Shiou as an example, hair, skin color, lips, clothes, pants, shoes, as long as the colors are different, you have to pick and piece them together one by one.

Of course, the final product was really realistic. Qin Shiou felt that this set of craftsmanship was too awesome. If someone said it was a wax figure, he would believe it. (To be continued.)
