The Lirong Inn opened up a restaurant, which was essentially a makeshift shack constructed on the inn's empty space. The signage, with its flamboyant "Li Language Dragon Flavor," was crafted by the Painter, and the posters featured a portrait of the owner.
There was a lot of debate about hanging the owner's portrait, as people felt that putting up such a poster meant the closure was just around the corner or, to put it mildly, was a hair's breadth away. However, no one dared to say anything, so it was eventually hung up.
In a seductive red long dress, with heavy yet delicate makeup, the noble Dragon Mother—how to put it—couldn't be said not to be the Dragon Mother, but apart from the clothes, there really wasn't much of a connection. After the Painter artistically processed the bodily curves, facial features, expressions, and so on, she did indeed become more like the Dragon Mother as she imagined herself.
Art always stubbornly survives in all kinds of barren lands.
