After Song Fengwan relayed Duan Linbai's words to Qiao Xiyan, she took out a catalog from a car's glove box. Inside the catalog were detailed illustrations of flora and fauna.
Since there were already many jade wares on the market with traditional Buddhist plants or flower designs, people had to create outstanding designs to stand out among the crowd. This was why the Qiao family chose to make each product by hand.
They first had to sketch out the design onto the jade, then roughly carve out the outline before using a smaller tool to create the details. There were many things people had to pay attention to in the jade carving process.
"Wanwan, do you know when Third Master Fu's birthday is?" Qiao Xiyan asked as he steered the car into an antique marketplace and found a parking lot according to the road signs.
"Is his birthday coming up?" Song Fengwan closed the catalog.
