New Yu Era 1322, early June, Golden Wind and Drizzle Building
"Xiaolou Bro, this place is too big. Just the first floor can accommodate a thousand people. Today isn't any special holiday, but I counted briefly, and there are at least three to five hundred people here. And there are still six floors above, this restaurant must serve at least a thousand people every day..."
"Tsk tsk, look at the menu prices; even the cheapest ones cost eight liang of silver. Just having a meal costs thirty to fifty liang. It's really expensive!"
"No wonder people from Yun Ye County always say that the Golden Wind and Drizzle Building is a gold-consuming pit in the prefectural city. Ordinary people simply can't afford it."
In a corner on the first floor, five young lads sat around a table, all dressed modestly and intently watching each other's lips as they spoke.
