There was a Canton system in the mining areas, providing comprehensive service. A professional was responsible for cutting the raw materials. If they discovered jade, they could choose to polish it or keep it as it was.
The Canton system was a public system because the mining area belonged to the public, where the services were free of charge.
There were many mines in the area, but there was usually only one public canton, so many people were waiting in line to cut the stones.
It was still early and there were not many people inside. After Li Du counted about ten people were in line, he and Zhong Daopao went and queued at the end of it.
The atmosphere in the Canton area was very strange. When the bets rose, the ones who make money would earn a big amount, but if they made a bad bet then they would lose a lot of money. There were countless times where extreme emotions such as joy and sadness would be seen.
