“嘶——” Influence of the wind I rubbed my temples hard again, trying to dispel the stubborn pain. Damn hangover, why did I always insist on drinking so much at every banquet? Wasn't it supposed to be a convenient way to get ahead in the official world? Now, thanks to this hangover, I probably wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything today.

Pushing the door open, I found myself in a bustling street. The morning was lively, with vendors shouting and pedestrians bustling. It was hard to believe that I was living in the Northern Song Dynasty, a time when the economy was prosperous and the culture was flourishing.

I wandered around the street for a while, planning to find a place to eat to ease my hangover. As I passed a small tea shop, the aroma of delicious food wafted out, making me unable to resist. I walked in and found an empty table. The tea master saw me and smiled. "Sir, would you like some tea?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, please. I'd like some of your specialties."
