Perhaps the happiest place is a large inn with an old-fashioned sign hanging outside. Inside, waiters serve guests with peanuts, wine, stewed meats, and dried bean curd, In one corner, a bewhiskered old man savors his repast contentedly, while in another, some men of letters toast each other.
酒樓是最熱鬧的地方，貼著狀元紅、五加皮、茅台等紅花紙的酒罈，橫放了一大排；滷肉、花生米、豆腐乾隨著店小二滿場飛舞，盡快的送給客人下酒；那廂有一個虯髯大漢正在據案暢飲，這邊又有幾個方巾文士在淺酌小吃。
