Lin Mo handed over the ticket, "Please, Master."
The Jade Carving Master took the receipt and asked, "Cut it open directly, or shall we make a window first?"
"Let's make a window first, don't ruin it by cutting it all at once. This is the stone my daughter picked. If it's any good, I'd like to make something out of it for her to remember," Lin Mo answered the master's question, knowing his wife would surely ask again, so he proactively explained, "Making a window means using a small drill to remove some of the skin of the stone to open up a crack, to observe the trend of the material inside, and then decide how to slice it based on the situation."
"Oh, oh..." Li Jinwen nodded in seeming understanding.
"Alright, making a window costs extra, 100. Just scan this QR code," the Jade Carving Master pointed to a QR code next to him.
The cost of cutting the stone was covered by the stall owner, but the additional cost for making a window had to be paid by oneself.
Ding.
