You attend a dinner prepared by your host

With the negotiation being concluded to both sides' satisfaction, the only thing left to do is to attend a feast being held by Zee-Yan-Key, or whose name is actually spelled and pronounced as 'Xiangqi'. You and your entourage had your bath and were presented with a change of clothing made from silk. You notice that while seaming similar, the silk clothing differs a bit from the one from the Eastern Roman Empire. Perhaps this is something you should to with Zee... Xianqi later.

The dinner is as expected, a grand feast, with all kinds of food, those familiar to you as well as exquisite ones ones from Zhongguo. You also see that they prepared some kind of eating equipment in the form of two sticks but they aren't being used in deference to the local eating culture where you would wash your hands with water and then eat using them. During the feast, you notice that their food are heavily spiced way and you wonder whether they receive enough supply or whether the supply can be increased further. Yet another thing to ponder.

Meanwhile, you let yourself enjoy the feast, as well as feasting your eyes on the attractive women present in the room. The first one is Xianqi's wife, introduced as Meiyue, meaning 'beautiful moon' in their native language.

The other is Shuchun, the beautiful young woman who plays the unique string instrument during the dinner.

Unlike Meiyue, Xiangqi doesn't tell you the meaning of her name. It is as if he's trying to prevent you from becoming closer to her. That's rather strange since Meiyue looks to be quite young. Maybe he's her father or something?

Well, you don't really care for such a thing since you're here for the trade and risking it for the sake of fulfilling your own lust is not worth it. Besides, you have Angelika waiting for you at the castle.
