As Zhu Zi watched the cat's retreating figure, she remembered the things and letters she had previously asked Komahaya to send home: "I wonder if they've arrived yet..."
"It's been almost two months, they should have arrived by now."
"I haven't received a reply either."
"If it exists, it should be arriving soon."
"I asked my mom to send me some cherry blossoms in the letter."
What is "Hi-Cherry Blossom"?
"The cherry blossoms from that big cherry tree at the shrine are especially beautiful and can be used to make Hi-orange Mochi."
"Is it tasty?"
"delicious!"
"Is it even tastier than the mooncakes the boss makes?"
"Ah, no, that's still not available... But if the boss made the cherry blossom mochi himself, it would definitely taste just as good!"
"I've never made cherry blossom mochi before."
"Boss, I can teach you!"
"Sure, I'll cook for you guys when Fei Ying arrives."
"it is good!"
After chatting for a while, the young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and Xingqiu came to the store together.
"Mr. Xia."
"Hello you two."
"We've come here this time to hand over the profits to you in accordance with the previous contract."
"I would be grateful if you two could make the trip in person."
"No trouble at all. This is to personally thank Mr. Xia; this is your payment."
Xia Zhi accepted an anonymous card from the Northern Bank.
"According to the previous contract, this is your share of the profits from this competition. There are a total of 20 million Mora in your card. We will calculate and send you the share of the mahjong sales separately."
"it is good."
"The contract that Ms. Yanfei signed with us was only for this competition. However, our Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is very optimistic about it and hopes to continue to cooperate with Mr. Xia in the future to hold the second Chess King Competition. We believe that you can also see the capabilities of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce from this competition."
"I will think about it."
"Okay, I hope we can work together again."
After finishing their tea, the eldest son of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and the young master Xingqiu took their leave.
"Cousin, how are you going to spend all this money?"
"I'm planning to open a school."
"???"
Chapter 302 Mr. Zhongli lends a hand (4K)
"It's about starting a school."
Xia Zhi fiddled with the anonymous Northern Bank card in his hand and repeated himself.
"Cousin, which school is it?"
"primary school."
"Boss, what is primary school?"
"It's like a school for children, but bigger than a regular school."
"Oh."
The Great Tree King paused, suddenly remembering the words he had spoken in his dream a few days ago.
While everyone was watching a movie, she looked at the primary school in the film and felt emotional. She then compared the differences in educational opportunities between the two worlds and even said that Ningguang would have been better off using the money from building the Jade Pavilion to build a school.
Of course, she was just saying that at the time. After all, Liyue is Morax's territory, and Ningguang's money is her own. She can spend it however she wants, and she shouldn't interfere on someone else's turf.
I never expected that my cousin would remember what I said so casually and now he's actually planning to set up a primary school.
Well, even though my cousin always teases me, he still cares about me a lot...
As the Great Compassion Tree King was thinking this, he heard Xia Zhi ask everyone.
"Zhu Zi, have you ever attended school?"
"I've been with her!"
What do you study?
"Literacy! Inazuma's Writing System"
"and then?"
"there is none left!"
"You only teach literacy?"
"Yes, the school teaches literacy, and the teacher also tells us the legend of Inazuma!"
"Don't your teachers teach anything else?"
"Does the boss mean a craft? That requires you to find a master, give gifts, and be an apprentice for several years to secretly learn the skills!"
"...I understand. Ying'er, what about you? Have you ever been to school?"
"No, I used to not even have enough to eat, so how could I have had the chance to go to school?"
"I see. Where is Miss Akabane?"
"When I was there, Liyue was in a state of chaos..."
"I understand. Where's Qiqi?"
"I didn't have that either. When I was a child, my family was poor, so I had to go to the mountains to collect herbs to supplement the family income."
Diona went to the Adventurers' Guild to post a quest and hasn't returned yet. We don't know what the educational environment in Mondstadt is like, but judging from her bewildered look, it's probably not much better.
As for Shen He, she also never went to school. Her family was destroyed when she was young, and she was adopted by Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, where she received careful instruction.
Xia Zhi nodded and said, "It's a pity that we haven't been able to go to school for various reasons. It seems that it's necessary to start a school. I wonder if the 20 million in this card is enough."
"This much is definitely enough."
"It's hard to say. Land costs money, construction costs money, hiring teachers costs money, there are too many places where money is needed."
"There will be tuition fees as well."
No, we don't have that.
"what?"
"My purpose in founding the school is to provide educational opportunities for children in Liyue who are disadvantaged, so enrollment will be free."
"!"
"This is just an idea for now, I'll think about it more carefully. Oh, by the way, cousin, it's Saturday today and you're free anyway, could you draw a design for the school for me?"
"Row."
Xia Zhi sat at the table, pondering some questions alone, while the Great Tree King took out paper and pen and began to draw with great interest.
After a while, Diona returned happily from outside, carrying two thick books.
"I'm back!"
"Ah."
After exchanging greetings, Diona noticed that the atmosphere in the store seemed a little too quiet.
what happened?
Cat was a little curious. She glanced at the boss sitting over there and asked in a low voice, "Senior Zhu Zi, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, the boss is just planning to open a school."
"Huh? The school?"
"that is……"
After listening to Zhu Zi's explanation, the cat roughly understood.
"Oh."
What book is that in your hand?
