“... This is a reward,” said the man watching the lantern, gripping his stick. “If you can get this lantern to light, the five thousand taels will be yours.”

“Of course it is real. This is a banknote from De Sheng Chang. Don’t tell me you think it’s fake.” The man vigorously gestured at the glass bowls. “Take another look at this glass bowl. This is a genuine five thousand note.”

Five thousand taels.
