"Named the 'Eight Treasures Conference', it actually posed a topic that was to 'become popular among the common folks', which at first listen seemed somewhat inconceivable. Yet in reality, the so-called 'eight treasures' were not all as luxurious and rare as ordinary people might imagine."
"Take for instance the 'Eight Treasures Of Poultry': while it indeed included rarities like dragon and swan, common street sightings like quail and pigeon also managed to find a place; and then consider the 'sea eight treasures', where delicacies like sea cucumber and fish maw would be out of reach for the average folks, but for those a bit more affluent, acquiring some squid to feast on wasn't an impossible task."
