Human bone chopsticks. The protagonist of the story encounters a guest who asks for a boat, and when the boat is stopped for a while, the guest lands on the shore with a small saw, and returns with two bones at dusk, making twenty pairs of chopsticks in one day. The protagonist asks the guest, what kind of bone is this? The guest said it was a camel bone. The protagonist looked at it for a while and said, this is a human bone, why do you want to deceive people. The guest confided the truth, saying that it was indeed a human bone, which was found on the river beach yesterday. He saw that this man's bones were very moist, that is, almost patterned. The next day at the place, the twenty pair of bone chopsticks quickly sold half and made a profit. The protagonist asked what is the specific difference between human bones and camel bones, and the guest said that the camel bones are white and less godly, and the human bones are more crystalline and moist, which is better than the camel bones. I also asked what the difference between different human bones is. The guest said that the brittleness of the soil for a long time, the dryness of tuberculosis, are not easy to use, the bones of the elderly are yellow, similar to the old ivory, and the women's bones are greasy and smooth, but they are not as rich and material as the men's bones.
