As for the competing businesses, there were also special elegant seating areas waiting, each bearing the nameplate of the competing merchant.
At this time, on the long tables covered with red silk on the platform, some works had already been placed one after another, all covered with red silk, hiding their true form; in front of each item was a wooden sign, bearing the name of the piece.
