The rough men replied in a clamorous chorus:
"Don't you worry, Shopkeeper Li."
"That’s right. We see each other every day and work side-by-side; who would be low enough to pull any tricks?"
"Good. Now, split into three groups."
"One group starts from the inner courtyard and cleans outward."
"One group starts from outside the courtyard and cleans inward."
"Hurry up and get this three-tiered compound tidied up; there are honorable guests waiting to move in."
"The third group starts from the third floor of the restaurant, spraying water, dusting, and mopping their way down."
"I have only one requirement: from the rafters to the floor, I want everything spotless. Get to work!"
Over a hundred men scattered in a flurry. Suddenly, the entire Xiankeju was in an uproar, with constant banging, thumping, and shuffling echoing through the air.
