Li Xiu stood by the counter for a while, then pointed at a yellow crystal in a tray and asked, "How much is this?"
"This is natural yellow crystal, it's five thousand red sand currency per carat," the young girl said.
Small towns usually don't have their own currency and use the main city's currency they depend on. Previously, Zhongshan City used Red Sand City's currency.
Red Sand City's currency denominations are quite large, but their actual purchasing power is low.
"How much for this one?" Li Xiu pointed at one of the Asche yellow crystals and asked.
When he left, A Fei gave him some red sand currency, not enough to buy precious gemstones but enough for a yellow crystal.
"I'll weigh it for you." The girl took out the yellow crystal, put it on an electronic scale, and weighed it; it was 21.6 carats.
Five carats equal one gram; this yellow crystal is a little over four grams.
