About This Novel
It was almost dusk, and the tavern was already full of people and steaming. Drinkers were sitting around seven or eight large wine vats, and delicacies such as boiled edamame, rotten broad beans, and fried grasshoppers were placed on the red paint vat lids. The drinkers drank from the vat and chatted about alley stories, market rumors, Yang Xiaolou's monkey play, King Jingjie's storytelling, which house was haunted, whose concubine ran away with someone, etc. With the help of a little wine, Yunshanwuhai talked like this, what he said, what he heard, and a few words added. In those days, this was a lot of fun. Old Beijingers are very particular about leisure and leisure. This kind of tavern is called a big wine tank. This happened in early July of the 26th year of the Republic of China (1937), one day after the July 7th Incident. There were people boxing in the pub, and some drinking too much, but most of them were chatting.
