Over the past two years, the White Tiger Tea House's business had expanded.

"This year's drought is truly bizarre. In my forty years, I've never heard of anything like it."

"The weather isn't even hot. In fact, it's cooler than in previous years, but there's just no water. I'm afraid this year's harvest in all of Shanyang Prefecture will either be a complete failure or suffer a massive drop in yield."
