A young white 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 praised: "It's simply beautiful, man, I have to admit, I have never seen such beautiful light! But I think you are not too interested?"
The young man shrugged and said, "Even if it's as delicious as king crab, you'll get tired of it if you eat too much, right?"
Qin Shiou laughed. The young man was obviously a local. To him, the aurora was probably like a fisherman to the waves, it was too common.
He wanted to agree, but Wei Ni suddenly turned her head and stared at him. Officer Qin's heart skipped a beat. He had an idea and understood Wei Ni's thoughts. He quickly hugged her and said seriously to the young man: "No, young man, you That¡¯s not right. If king crab is really delicious, how can you get tired of it? Just like if you really love a woman, no matter how long you stay with her, you will never get tired of it!¡±
Wei Ni smiled with satisfaction. She hugged Qin Shiou's arm sweetly and said, "My dear, I'm 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 am indeed not tired of her yet."
Qin Shiou nodded and left, and the young man quietly added: "My mother washes and cooks for me, so I don't get tired of it. Where is your wife?"
"That can do a lot for me." Qin Daguan said proudly, "For example, my wife can help me warm my bed on such a cold day."
The young man was immediately envious and muttered: "Damn it, why can't I have a wife like this?"
The sun didn¡¯t show up until noon the next day, but the weather started 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 see today?"
Qin Shiou and Wei Ni have agreed to visit the beautiful and famous Ilulissat Icefjord today.
After taking a sled on the road, they found a handicraft shop. The 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 Northern Europe do this. Someone has just opened a shop like this here, haha, but it is very interesting. They can make beautiful glass birds, glass fish, glass dogs, etc. If you want to bring gifts back, this is it. Yes." The little doorman said happily.
Qin Shiou and Wei Ni entered the store, saying it was a store. In fact, the store was very large, like a workshop, with many machines humming at work inside.
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 found it was different from what he understood. He thought that the so-called glass birds and glass fish were just like the glass handicrafts made by domestic craftsmen. They made some small animals by polishing and carving glass.
Actually, it is not that simple. The color of glass animals is almost the same as that of living animals. They are not painted after being carved, but are carved using glass of different colors and finally matched.
In other words, if you want to make a parrot, you need green glass to sculpt 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, they are glued together to form a perfect parrot. Parrot.
This is real technical work!
"It's so beautiful, so lifelike." Winnie praised.
The waiter smiled proudly, then picked up the baby seal Qin Shiou was looking at and put it into a glass tank. As the water rippled, the baby seal seemed to be alive inside.
"What a wonderful workmanship!" Qin Shiou also praised it, and then he had an idea and asked: "You all make it on the spot, right? For example, if I want a hummingbird or a dog, you can make it on the spot?"
The waiter said: "Yes, it can be done on site, but it is more expensive and takes longer. If you want to buy finished products, there are many kinds of animals here - especially birds, almost all kinds."
Qin Shiou opened the door to let the waiter look at 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 used a bear to pull the sled? This is really cool! Oh, sorry, I digressed - it can be done, but the time may be beyond your expectation. for a long time.¡±
"How long?" Qin Shiouasked 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 and said that he was the owner of this glass handicraft store, and then asked: "I heard from my guy that you want to make pet models? How many do you want to make?"
Qin Shiou said: "Yes, we want to do this, but we don't know how long we have to wait."
The man thought for a while and said: "Look at the price you gave, the ordinary price, each one only costs four hundred yuan, and it takes one and a half hours to make one; if you are willing to give an expedited price"
"Okay, this time is enough, we have to stay here for a few days. Look at those little guys outside, do you need photos of them or something? Give each of them a pinch." Wei Ni said simply and neatly, not to fool the boss. Chance.
Qin Shiou added: "Then can you make glass figures? My wife and I."
The boss nodded and said: "This is also possible, but it is more expensive, because as you know, it takes a long time to carve a piece of glass into a human shape."
"How much?"
"It's one thousand yuan per person."
"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, carving a glass figure"
"Then six hundred yuan!"
"No, it's not a matter of price. The amount of labor is simply"
"How about eight hundred yuan? One person, thirty people is twenty-four thousand yuan!"
¡°Speak quickly, madam, it¡¯s a deal!¡±
The boss is not just fooling around to make money. Making these glass handicrafts is indeed quite complicated. He needs to direct the design and coordinate with multiple production lines.
Making tigers, leopards, bears and wolves is easy. They have a single color. Only the black-footed ferret is a little more complicated. For example, the little white wolf has only two colors on its body, black eyes and white body.
But it¡¯s troublesome to make a statue of the creator. Take Qin Shiou as an example, hair, skin color, lips, clothes, pants, shoes, as long as the color is different, you have to pick and piece them together one by one.
Of course, the final product was indeed lifelike. Qin Shiou felt that this set of craftsmanship was so awesome. If someone said it was a wax figure, he would believe it. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
