Chapter 1057: Princess Zhao Yue (5)

"Miss, with just this material, I'm afraid it's not even worth the wages. Why not have an apprentice carve it for you? That would save some money!"

Cai Wei said with a smile, "I heard that you are the top master craftsman here. With an expert like you around, why would I ever go for an apprentice? Rest assured, I'll pay whatever the amount is. If you're worried, I can pay the silver upfront!"

Seeing Cai Wei's smile and good nature, the master craftsman found it difficult to say more. He simply accepted Cai Wei's stone, agreed on the carving details, and sent Cai Wei on her way.

In just one morning, Cai Wei had bought a cartful of jade utensils, spending only a little over five hundred taels of silver.

After shopping, she instructed Zhang Biaotou to haul the items back to the manor and ordered Chun Liu to follow him and place the items in her room.
