《太平广记·卷五十三·神仙五十三》
天已经晚了，大家都有饥饿的神色，过了很久，分别拿醯盐竹筷，放到客人面前，一会儿，几个乞丐共同抬着象案子似的一块大板，板长四五尺，摆在草席中央，用油渍渍的布把它盖上。
日既旰矣，咸有饥色。久之，各以醯盐竹箸，置于客前，逡巡，数辈共举一巨板如案，长四五尺，设于席中，以油帕幕之。
It was already late, and everyone looked hungry. After a long time, they took salt and bamboo chopsticks and put them in front of the guests. After a while, several beggars lifted a large plank like a table, four or five feet long, and placed it in the middle of the mat, covering it with oiled cloth.
