The utensils are not as dazzling as jewelry, nor are they overly expensive. Whether it is the colorful enamel of ceramic utensils or the clear transparency of glass utensils, when they are used daily, they exude a warm and quiet luster.

Wang Lin's understanding of glass products is still at the stage of ordinary glass products.

After walking into this store, he realized that there are many kinds of glass and they can be made so beautifully.

Among the many glass materials, the clearest ones are the utensils made of glass. Glass is also called artificial crystal. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was also called colored glaze. It existed as a supplement to jade. In the Tang Dynasty, Oriental envoys introduced colored glaze vessels to

He brought it back and spread it from Nagasaki to Osaka, and then to Edo, where it quickly became popular in the East.

Behind the birth of each glass, it has gone through the process of burning, melting, blowing, cutting, and grinding. It is full of the intricate thoughts and superb standards of the craftsmen. The craftsmanship of the glass has been carefully cared for and preserved to this day.

The glass material is melted, formed, annealed, and finished. The craftsmanship is exquisite and gorgeous. Ink lines are carved on the surface by hand throughout the entire process. The wide and deep lines are carved by the grinding wheel and then outlined with a fine wheel. After trimming, they are polished and polished to create exquisite patterns.

and texture. The whole process is done in one go, with no mistakes allowed.

Wang Lin looked at the dazzling array of colorful glassware in front of him. Some stood like bamboos on the dining table, with green, gold and transparent colors. Some were like a snowstorm, using glass to describe the appearance of flying snowflakes. Some were like cherry blossoms,

Gold and cherry blossom petals adorn the glass drinking vessels.

Wang Lin seemed to have entered a fairy tale world and was deeply surprised.

He looked at the price tags of the glass products. A small wine glass cost 30,000 yen, a slightly larger tea cup cost 100,000 yen, and a set of exquisite cherry blossom tea sets cost as much as 1 million.

JPY!

Although Wang Lin is a rich man, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that the glass products he knew were sold for the price of diamonds.

No wonder these handicraft shops can be opened in Ginza. How can they not make money if the items sold are so expensive?

In addition to the blessing of craftsmanship scores, how much do the raw materials of these glass products cost?

But this is the case in Tokyo. Handmade things are the most expensive because of high labor costs. This is similar to what it will be in China twenty years later.

Li Wenjuan leaned down and looked at the cherry blossom tea set: "Brother-in-law, I want this set. I saw this set of cups when I passed by here last time. I like it so much. Look at the cup and plate, do they look like Kazuki?

Cherry blossoms in full bloom? So beautiful!”

Wang Lin hummed: "The price is also very beautiful. For 1 million yen, I can buy you a set of diamond jewelry."

Li Wenjuan frowned and said: "Brother-in-law, I don't want diamonds, I want glass! I think glass is more beautiful than diamonds. Aren't diamonds also stones?"

The colorful lights in the store reflected on her face, and her frown gradually relaxed, and there was a sparkle in her eyes. In an instant, she raised a bright smile: "Brother-in-law, don't look down on the glass. Look at those

Antiques, aren’t they all made of iron, copper, or porcelain, are they still valuable today? They are much more valuable than those diamonds.”

Wang Lin let out a sigh and smiled approvingly: "Wenjuan, your values ​​have changed a lot."

"Then buy it for me?"

"Okay, buy it!"

Wang Lin spent 1 million yen to buy a set of glasses for Li Wenjuan.

Li Wenjuan couldn't put it down. On the way back to the hotel, she held the bag in one hand and held Wang Lin's arm in the other. She smiled happily: "Brother-in-law, I am so happy! This is the most meaningful birthday I have ever had!"

"Glass birthday!" Wang Lin knocked on her forehead.

"I like it, hee!" A smile appeared at the corner of Li Wenjuan's mouth, like a ripple that quickly crossed her face, and then condensed into two sparks in her eyes, which disappeared in the depths of her eyes.

Her smile, like starlight and spring breeze, melted Wang Lin's thousands of dusty hearts.

In the evening, Li Wenjuan took a map of Japan, spread it out on the table, and looked at it carefully.

"Brother-in-law, where else is there fun in Japan?" Li Wenjuan asked Wang Lin.

"Well, there are still many good attractions! Next, you can just follow me."

While Wang Lin answered, he picked up the hotel phone and called home.

Li Wenxiu opened her mouth and said, "Where's Wenjuan? It's her birthday. I'll tell her a few words. Did you buy her any gifts?"

"Wenxiu, you can never imagine what kind of birthday gift Wenjuan wants."

"What?" Li Wenxiu asked.

"A set of glasses."

"Glass?" Li Wenxiu chuckled, "How much is this? Wenjuan has changed her temper and doesn't like you spending money on her?"

"Ha! How much do you think this glass costs?"

"How much does a glass cost? One dollar? Oh, that's Toyo, three dollars?"

"Thirty thousand dollars!"

"What?" Li Wenxiu exploded upon hearing this, "You spent thirty thousand yuan on a glass? Wang Lin, although you have money, you can't spend it so lavishly, right? Give Wenjuan the phone, I

Tell her to take it and return it! Are you kidding me? You spent 30,000 yuan on a glass? You must have been bullied by the Japanese and treated like pigs butchered by them!"
