Early morning.
Chen Ji returned to the Silver Apricot Garden with a shoulder pole.
Xiao Man came out holding the Little Black Cat, rubbing his eyes, and asked, "Young master, what do you want to eat today?"
Chen Ji stood under the apricot tree with the shoulder pole, answering irrelevantly, "Xiao Man, what is the next festival? The Imperial Palace will also participate."
Xiao Man was puzzled, "Why is the young master suddenly asking this?"
Chen Ji urged, "Just answer the question."
