Features: Old foundation, a genuine old Beijing term. Only old shops have a foundation. What kind of foundation? It's definitely not a pot base. A foundation is hard to explain in just three or four sentences. A foundation actually means a solid base. Beijingers call having money at home or having had money in the past "having a family foundation." These words were like gentle breezes, instantly dispelling the gloom from the faces of the Hong Kong players. Cheers erupted in the hall, and the atmosphere immediately livened up. The "Candlelight Dinner" cleared the bad luck from the Hong Kong players' hearts. Pang Changhong, who had once been an apprentice in an old shop, showed a skill at a critical moment, turning a tense situation into a light-hearted one—this is the essence of an old shop's foundation! If you want to know more about the stories of an old shop's foundation, don't waste your time asking me. Just keep turning the pages and savor it.
