Seven dishes, five meat, one half-meat and half-vegetable, plus a soup—without at least a tael of silver, you can't pay for it.

Liang Yuan glanced at Chu Ming, then at Ning Hao, smiling as he replied, "Senior Brother Xu, you do have a sharp eye. I just finished copying it today."
"Heh, then congratulations, Junior Brother Liang. With your skill, copying a True Map of Mountains and Rivers will fetch at least three taels of silver. It's really worth celebrating."
"Senior Brother Xu flatters me." Liang Yuan's face was humble, but his heart was pleased.
But when he turned to Chu Ming, that comfortable feeling vanished instantly.
After praising Liang Yuan, Xu He turned towards Chu Ming: "Ning Hao excels in poetry and prose, and Liang Yuan is gifted in painting. Junior Brother Chu, you must learn much from your Senior Brother Ningx and Senior Brother Liang."
Who learns from whom?
