Shen An traveled through the Tang Dynasty and became the shopkeeper of a dilapidated restaurant near Baqiao.
His parents were dead, he was heavily in debt, and his shop was so poor that even the pot was leaking.
Shen An set a simple goal for himself: pay off his debts, repair the dilapidated shop, marry a few beautiful wives, and hire a group of workers. From now on, he would not have to get up early and could just be a salted fish.
