This scene opens with a conversation between a rich man and a poor man. The rich man tells the poor man that he is making a lot of money by gambling on jade. The poor man tells him that he can't afford to gamble on jade, so he needs to find a way to make some extra cash. He asks the rich man to sell him a rough jade stone that he bought at an antique market for a price that is way too high for the quality of the stone. The wealthy man agrees to sell the stone to him for the price he paid for it.
