People came to Wei Xian Pavilion for one reason: to eat exotic game they couldn't find anywhere else. It wasn't the kind of thing you could have whenever you wanted.
Many who couldn't get an order were resentful, complaining that they had come for nothing.

Tu Xiao'an had seen the menu. A single Pangolin cost a whopping fifty thousand—an incredibly high price. And even then, it was unavailable now.
Pangolins were said to have medicinal properties. They were considered a Miracle Elixir that could invigorate blood flow, dredge the meridians, nourish yin, and fortify yang. This was why the creatures were being eaten to the brink of extinction.
