April 15th.

By sheer coincidence, a party had been booked for that day, and Nanzhi grandly selected the largest private room on the second floor for it.

The customer, who had originally only booked a small dinner due to a shortage of silver, was startled when he saw the private room.

He wondered how he ended up with such a large room when he had only booked a banquet that cost one tael and one coin.

Despite his confusion, he could only manage a smile and lead his guests to their seats.

The guests he had invited were old friends from many years ago.

These friends were not from Yan City. They had sent a letter a month ago, saying they were coming to Yan City for business and wanted to see him. Unfortunately, his mother had been ill recently and the family's silver had been depleted.

Ironically, this friend had helped his family a lot in the past. That's why he had asked about the banquet prices at The Three Tastes early on.
