Although the capital of Daqing gathered the powerful of the whole country, there were still poor people after all, and they naturally could not consume in the east market, so there were a lot of street stall vendors in the evening of the west market.

Walking forward with the lanterns all the way, although Jiao Yuzhen was sloppyly dressed, she would not be pointed at in this West Market, she looked along the street happily, and never found that there was a person behind her.

The footsteps stopped in front of a stall, and there were some inconspicuous inferior jade objects on the stall, these jade polishing and carving are not good, and the jade is also ordinary nephrite jade rather than jadeite, but from the point of view of the polishing and carving, it is definitely not from the hands of a regular jade master, so Jiao Yuzhen took out a piece of amber rough in his arms and handed it to the stall owner who was about thirty or forty years old: "Boss, look at my jade, if you are interested in buying it, please give a price." ”

The stall owner glanced at the jade in Jiao Yuzhen's hand, and a touch of surprise flashed through his eyes, but the next moment he shook his head gently: "Girl, this is amber, and the small one is a stall, but I can't afford to buy amber rough." Why don't you go to the big store and have a look? ”

"Boss, if you can give me a set of tools for polishing and carving jade, I'll give this amber rough in exchange, okay?"

Since the stall owner has polished some inferior jade by himself to sell, he naturally has tools for polishing jade, and when he saw the amber rough in Jiao Yuzhen's hand, even if it was only a small one, it was definitely possible to buy the things of his stall, let alone just those tools, so he hurriedly took out a cloth bag from behind him and unfolded it in front of Jiao Yuzhen, and there were some hemp ropes, animal skins, sandstones and other things in the backpack.

Jiao Yuzhen couldn't help frowning when he looked at the contents of this cloth bag: "Are these tools for polishing jade?" These things...... How do you use it? ”

"This is a soft hemp rope, with this sandstone, and then dipped in some jade sand can be used to cut jade, this is a flint chip, can be used to cut jade, can also be used with sand to polish jade, and this animal skin and tree bark are used for polishing, stained with a little of these polishing powder, it's fine." The stall owner was very enthusiastic to explain to Jiao Yuzhen that in fact, these were not good tools, but ordinary jade craftsmen could only use these things.

"Okay. Thank you to the owner. Taking the cloth bag, Jiao Yuzhen handed a rough amber stone in his hand to the stall owner, and wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by the boss.

"Girl, stay!"

"Boss, is there anything else?"

"Girl, the little one is an honest businessman, and the girl gives the little one the rough stone of amber, which is a big price. So I asked the girl to take the money. As he spoke, the stall owner took out three coins of silver from his bosom, "These are the only small ones, not worth the price of this rough stone, but please accept it." ”

Seeing the stall owner's fingers full of small wounds through the dim light, Jiao Yuzhen shook his head lightly: "No need, the boss still needs some silver to prepare new tools, the transaction just now has been negotiated, and there is no reason to sit on the ground and start the price." ”

Jiao Yuzhen bowed his head slightly, turned around and left.

Although she Jiao Yuzhen has always loved money, she only loves the money she earns, and compared to the few coins of silver in the hands of greedy vendors, she is more worried about how to polish good jade with these backward tools, and because she thinks about things, she walks in the crowded night market, and she doesn't find a man in a royal blue brocade dress not far from her.

"A thief stole my money bag!"

Suddenly, a male voice sounded, and suddenly the person next to him instinctively shrank back, so that the man who shouted suddenly stood alone in the crowd......
