Dinner was lavish, with an equal mix of at and vegetable dishes.
Since this al was to celebrate Miss Ganyu's victory in the Mahjong King Tournant, Xia Zhi had tailored the flavors to suit her preferences.
Miss Ganyu ate to her heart's content.
After all, with Mr. Xia's divine skills, she didn't have to worry about her tendency to gain weight.
After the al, Xia Zhi gifted boxes of Silver Dew Tea to Ningguang, Yun Jin, Ganyu, and Yanfei.
This ti, he emphasized the instructions: only one leaf per brew, and even if they needed to stay awake for overti work at night, they should never use more than two leaves.
Ningguang glanced at Yelan with a smile.
Yelan remained composed, as if the person who had overindulged in tea last ti wasn't her at all.
The sky had completely darkened, and Ningguang and Yelan bid their farewells. The rest of the group went for a walk.
Miss Yun Jin was participating in this daily shop activity for the first ti.
For a big star like her, this experience was fresh and interesting.
"Boss, tomorrow's Thursday again!"
"Yes, rember to buy chicken and potatoes."
"Won't forget!"
"And small fish!"
"Didn't we have small fish last week?"
"Senior Sister Shenhe said she wants to eat it!"
"Really, Shenhe?"
"Mm."
"Then let's fry so again tomorrow."
Miss Yun Jin was a bit puzzled and asked softly, "What's special about Thursday?"
Zhu Zi explained with a smile that every Thursday, the shop serves fried chicken and fries. As for why, no one knows, but that's what the boss said! And the fried chicken is super delicious!
"Fried chicken..."
"If Miss Yun Jin is curious, why not co to our shop tomorrow afternoon? You can try it!"
"Well..."
Miss Yun Jin was curious about how good the fried chicken could be, but the thought of the high calories and the risk of getting "heaty" made her hesitate.
She shook her head and declined, "No, I've already taken a break today. The Yun-Han Opera Troupe has a performance to prepare for tomorrow, so I won't have ti. Thanks for the invitation."
Zhu Zi looked disappointed. "Oh, that's a sha. What about you, Miss Yanfei?"
Miss Yanfei tilted her head and smiled. "I can co over tomorrow afternoon."
"That's great!"
"Mm."
After the walk, Yanfei took Yaoyao back to Yujing Terrace, while Yun Jin returned to the Yun-Han Opera Troupe.
As for Ganyu, she had originally planned to get a massage from Mr. Xia and then head back, just like last Friday, to avoid interrupting her junior sister's romantic ti.
But during their afternoon chat, Shenhe had suddenly suggested that since her senior sister was on leave, she should stay and rest at the shop. The two of them could also spend so quality ti together.
Seeing the earnest look on her junior sister's face, Ganyu decided to stay. Breakfast the next morning wasn't a big deal, but she didn't want to disappoint her junior sister.
Back at the shop, the girls headed to the bathhouse at the back.
Seeing the huge pool, Ganyu's eyes widened in surprise.
This facility had been added to the shop just last Saturday. Since her last visit was on Friday, this was her first ti experiencing it.
"Senior Sister, co on in."
"Oh..."
"Wow, Miss Ganyu's figure is amazing!"
"Is it?"
"It's the soft and curvy kind. It's so... alluring."
"Ah, please don't say that..."
Ganyu blushed, trying to cover herself with her hands.
"Please, everyone, don't stare at like that..."
"We'll stare if we want to!"
"Wow, Diona's about to cry from envy."
"That's not true! Senior Sister Chi Yu, stop making things up!"
"Co here, let comfort you."
"No! You just want to touch my ears!"
Shenhe glanced over, then took her towel from the edge of the pool and handed it to Ganyu.
"Senior Sister, here."
"Thank you, Junior Sister!"
Ganyu took the towel and wrapped it around herself, finally feeling a bit more at ease.
This was her first ti bathing with other girls. Although she knew their gazes weren't malicious, it still felt a bit uncomfortable.
Maybe after a few more baths, she'd get used to it.
After so playful splashing in the pool, Zhu Zi looked at Ganyu and asked curiously, "Miss Ganyu, you just won ten million Mora. How are you planning to spend it?"
Ganyu was montarily stunned. "Well... I haven't really thought about it yet..."
"You haven't?"
"No, I don't really have many expenses in my daily life, and there's nothing I particularly want to buy..."
"You could buy a big house!"
"The house I live in now is already quite big, and it's in Yujing Terrace. I bought it a long ti ago when prices were still low. If I sold it now, it would probably fetch more than ten million Mora."
"Rich lady!"
"You said you bought it a long ti ago. How long ago was that?"
"That was a very, very long ti ago, when Liyue was just established. Everything was still quite rudintary. I bought a plot of land near the Yuehai Pavilion for convenience and had a house built. I think it cost a few thousand Mora back then."
"...Miss Ganyu, you should've bought more land back then!"
Ganyu couldn't help but chuckle. "I didn't need that much. Having a place to call ho was enough."
"You could've made a lot of money!"
"What's the use of so much money? I don't even know how to spend this ten million Mora..."
Zhu Zi sighed. "The boss says the sa thing—that too much money is useless. Sigh, it's hard to understand the mindset of the wealthy."
Miss Chi Yu looked up. "When I was at Yiyan Hall today, I heard so staff from the Feiyun Comrce Guild discussing how successful this Mahjong King Tournant was. They said the guild might hold it every year from now on."
"Oh, that's great!"
"Yeah, it's great. The boss is one of the organizers, so he'll get a share of the profits every year too!"
"That's not the point."
"What's the point, then?"
"The point is that all of us can participate every year."
"So?"
"So, that ans Miss Ganyu can win ten million Mora every year."
"..."
The group fell into a sudden silence.
Ahhh! Why don't I have such good luck!
Ten million Mora every year!
The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata shook her head. "The prize money won't stay the sa. This was the first tournant, so it was limited to Liyue. But as mahjong becos more popular, with the Feiyun Comrce Guild's connections, they could expand the tournant to other nations. It could beco the Teyvat Mahjong King Tournant. At that scale, the prize money will definitely be higher."
"Gasp!"
"It could easily exceed ten million Mora. Maybe even a hundred million."
"!!!"
The silence in the bathhouse beca deafening.
Ahhh! Why don't I have such good luck!
A hundred million Mora every year!
