Two white bamboo rats laid obediently in the cage.
The cage was tied up with thin wire, and it looked a little crude. This was the popular trend among craftsmen right now. At first glance, it was easy for people to feel nostalgic about the era when the industrial field was not flourishing, and it would make people be willing to fork out a few weeks of income to buy it.
The cage was quietly placed next to the kitchen stove. The young employee in the Shao family's restaurant was sharpening his knife. It sounded like a rat who was grinding its teeth.
The two bamboo rats had their heads placed against each other. They were still chewing on bamboo pieces, like two street office cadres at a food stall discussing the new Five-Year Plan [1].
