"Shopkeeper, I'm feeling just fine. Xiao Tong, do you want to come drink a cup?" Shopkeeper Fan lifted his little wine cup and took a small sip.
"No, no, I can't hold my liquor like you can, Shopkeeper."
Xiao Tong shook his head; he was a young waiter at the tavern and still had a lot of work to do later. He couldn't drink; getting drunk would only hold things up.
Just then, a waiter came clomping upstairs and loudly said to Shopkeeper Fan, "Shopkeeper, Miss Mo and that big brother have arrived. They say they've brought some good stuff over for you to taste!"
As soon as Shopkeeper Fan heard this, his eyes lit up. He knew Xuexue must have brought some newfangled thing again. He hurriedly put down his wine cup and stood up, eagerly saying, "Quick, quick, bring them up."
"Aye! Right away!"
The young waiter answered and dashed back downstairs to fetch Xuexue and Big Bull.
Before long, Big Bull and Xuexue came up carrying a basket.
