Watching the others play around, Sui Yi stood there laughing incessantly. Mu Zhi walked over to her side and patted her back to calm her down. Sui Yi turned to look at Mu Zhi, her eyes sparkling as if they could drown him. After playing around for a while, the group went out together and headed towards the largest restaurant in the market.

"Yunlai Restaurant, with customers coming like clouds, what a great name!" the second brother exclaimed.

"Tch, second brother, stop pretending to be a cultured person with that sour look on your face," the third brother mocked. Little did he know that the second brother was a truly cultured person. Whenever he had time, he would go to the village to listen to the teacher's lectures. Of course, he couldn't afford to pay tuition, so he could only squat in the corner to listen, but thanks to his clever brain, he remembered everything.

"Alright, stop sighing, Ninth Sister, let's go inside." The eldest brother shook his head as he watched the two bickering again.

As soon as they reached the door, the waiter ran over with a smile, "Please come in, esteemed guests. Would you like to stay here or have a meal?"

"We'd like to eat. Could you find us a quiet room and bring us your best dishes?" Mu Zhi took out a silver ingot and gave it to the waiter; it was a full fifty taels.

The waiter, beaming, led the group toward their room. "The quietest rooms here are the superior rooms on the third floor. They have a great view, and you can even see the scenery across the river when you open the window."

Upon arriving at the room, the waiter poured tea for them before leaving to instruct the kitchen to serve the dishes.

"Fourth brother, how many taels of silver do you estimate this restaurant can net a day?" the second brother asked.

"No less than a thousand taels," the fourth brother replied after taking a sip of tea.

“If we can make so much money, then let’s open a restaurant too,” the third brother said.

As the group chatted about what business to start that would be profitable, the waiter arrived with his men to serve the food. Dishes were brought to the table, thirty in total. "Can we possibly finish all this food?" the sixth man asked.

"Take the leftovers home."

"..." Sui Yi was speechless. Listening to what the others were saying, she couldn't help but rub her forehead. It seemed that changing their old habits would require long-term preparation.

"Eat quickly, or it'll get cold," the eldest brother said.

The group over there were wolfing down their food, partly because they were hungry, and partly because they had never eaten anything so delicious before, so their movements were rather rough. Meanwhile, the people over here were eating with refined elegance. Mu Zhi first served Sui Yi half a bowl of soup, saying, "Jiu'er, drink some soup to warm your stomach before you eat."

Suiyi took the bowl and finished the soup. Then Muzhi started putting food on Suiyi's plate. "Eighth Brother, don't just keep putting food on my plate, eat some yourself too!" After saying that, he put a piece of pork rib on Muzhi's plate. Muzhi silently ate it.

After they finished eating, it was almost 9 PM. "Let's go back and get a good night's sleep. I have something to tell you all tomorrow," said Lao Ba after they finished eating.

"Waiter, the bill, please." Mu Zhi called the waiter over, and after settling the bill, the group left the restaurant together. Back home, they said goodbye and went to their respective rooms, all eager to get back to their rooms. Being teenagers, they couldn't contain their excitement; the adjustment period would probably take several days to subside. Sui Yi and Mu Zhi didn't interfere, letting them adapt and change on their own. Mu Zhi escorted Sui Yi to her room and watched her fall asleep before returning to his own. Their rooms were right next to each other in the same courtyard.
