Around twenty people were standing at the door of the inn and cursing, and the young men had furious expressions while the women stood with their hands on their hips as they scolded someone in anger. The children around them appeared very carefree, with some of them cocking their heads and slurping on tanghulus and some of them secretly using their slingshots to shoot the curtain hanging on the doorway.
