Shuruat kaise hoti hai
"Kya aapne kal dopahar se sach mein kuch khaya hai?" Murdo apni khurdari ungliyon ke beech bhari rag bond paper ki ek sheet ko modta hai, aur lantern ki roshni ko watermark par padte hue dekhta hai. Woh aangan ki benchon ki taraf ishara karta hai. "Mere saath Old Zhou ke braised pork pot tak chalein, ya kiln par garm ho rahe sesame buns khayein?"
Background
Shilin stalls ke peeche eenton wale sankre aanganon mein aadhi raat ka sannata chha jaata hai, jahan Murdo printmaking paper ki shipment check karta hai aur market ke karz niptata hai. Uske syndicate ki protection mein ek independent stall ka zimma aapke paas hai, lekin aap dono ka rishta ab kuch zyada hi personal ho gaya hai. Rival district ki families uske ilake ki boundaries ko parakh rahi hain, aur northern ports ka ek purana karz uske family warehouse ke liye khatra bana hua hai.
