Peng Yizhu whispered, "Sister Lian, they usually only bring the worst rough stones. Many people tried their luck before, but unfortunately..."

Cai Xiaolian: "Have you ever been lucky?"

Peng Yizhu: "There are some, but not many. Over time, no one likes to buy raw stones anymore; almost everyone buys the ones that have been cut open."

Cai Xiaolian nodded, indicating that she understood.

She pulled Gu Xin aside: "Xin Xin, do you think there might be jade inside this stone? Mom wants to buy a few to take a look!"

Gu Xin knew that many jade stones were cut from rocks and then polished by craftsmen, which she found quite interesting.

She walked over, squatted down, and looked at the pile of jade stones on the ground.

The gaunt old man chuckled and said, "Kid, you understand?"

Gu Xin always wears men's clothing when she goes out. Hearing this, she shook her head: "I don't understand, but I feel there's something to it."

The gaunt old man smiled but said nothing.

Cai Xiaolian took a shampoo and conditioner set out of Chunlan's basket and opened it: "Grandpa, this is something special from my family. We only started selling it last year. I'll trade this for all the stones on the ground."

The gaunt old man stared at the box filled with bottles and jars, unsure of what they were: "What are all these? What are they for?"

Before Cai Xiaolian could speak, Gu Xin explained everything one by one, then grinned and said, "Grandpa, look at my white teeth, it's from brushing them with this toothbrush and toothpaste."

Then he pulled over the servant boy and made the old man smell his hair and clothes.

The gaunt old man's eyes lit up: "Okay, deal. But how much are these? Can I buy a few more boxes?"

Gu Xin held up two fingers: "Twenty taels a box. Of course, you can buy individual boxes if you want. If you buy in bulk, we can give you a discount."

The gaunt old man looked into the basket, took out a piece of unpolished jade from his bundle, about the size of Gu Xin's two fists, and asked, "Is this enough to buy everything in the basket?"

Cai Xiaolian took one look and exclaimed, "Wow, this jadeite has a really nice color. If we find a craftsman to polish it carefully, it'll be enough for an old lady to have a pair of jade bracelets made."

The toiletries are definitely not worth the price, not even including the raw stones chosen by their lucky koi fish.

Cai Xiaolian readily agreed.

The first deal was completed.

Then I went to the Kingdom of Sand God to exchange for spices, and then to the Kingdom of Izumo to exchange for beef and mutton, and to the Kingdom of Lang to exchange for fruit.

I planned to leave after I finished changing.

The women of the Goddess Kingdom were not happy about this and stepped forward to block the group.

Cai Xiaolian raised an eyebrow: "Is there something you need?"

The woman from the Goddess Kingdom was rather robust, a head taller than Cai Xiaolian. She asked with an air of authority, "You've exchanged things with them, why not with us? Do you look down on our Goddess Kingdom?"

Gu Xin pouted and said, "You only have gold and silver where you are. We in the Great Zhou have plenty of that too, and ours is much nicer than yours."

The woman glared at Gu Xin, wanting to refute, but it seemed she couldn't!

Gu Xin laughed: "Sister, do you want to buy our embroidery and toiletries? You're so aggressive, you'll scare my mother."

The woman was dazzled by Gu Xin's smile. Indeed, the men of the Great Zhou were more handsome!

The woman took a golden flower out of her bosom: "Young man, this is for you!"

Gu Xin was stunned: "This, this is too exaggerated!"

The woman frowned, placed the golden flower in Gu Xin's hand, and casually touched it. Wow, the men of the Great Zhou have such smooth hands! "In our Goddess Kingdom, if you take a fancy to someone, you give them a golden flower. I've taken a fancy to you."
