Outside the Patent Office of the Taiji Commercial Alliance, a giant revolving abacus was hung today. Its Abacus Beads were made of colored glaze and garlic skins, emitting a fragrant aroma of garlic with every spin. Wearing a tall hat folded from a patent certificate and holding a garlic-shaped trumpet that spouted fire, Huwa shouted, "A new way to share technology! Cross-industry collaboration massive clearance sale!"
The Dyeing Technique Plus Blowing Technique Equals a Color-Changing Glazed Lamp
The dye shop owner and the Persian glass artisan Muhammad had gathered together again, but this time they were not arguing. Instead, they rushed into the Patent Office holding a bizarrely shaped object. "We used the Green Ox dyeing technique to color the glass, and then used the blowing technique to make a lamp!" Muhammad excitedly held up the glazed lamp. As the temperature changed, the lamp body shifted from Green Ox green to saffron red. Huwa's eyes went wide. "This is simply a 'Taiji Color-Changing Lamp'! Hurry up and apply for the patent!"
Just as they were about to register, Ali the spice merchant leaped out holding cumin powder. "Wait! I want a stake too! Add spices to the lamp, and it will emit a fragrance the moment it's turned on!" The four of them started arguing fiercely on the spot, until Huwa finally pulled out an "Arbitration Garlic"—whoever won got to speak first. As a result, Ali's cumin powder made everyone sneeze continuously, successfully snatching priority.
