The next afternoon, at Malt Tavern in Pingcheng District.
"Oh, Veronica, back so early today?" the bar owner greeted the regular as he wiped glasses behind the bar.
"Took the day off," Veronica responded with a faint smile.
"Oh, it's 'that' day, huh?" the owner recalled that today was the full moon, "So, the usual for today?"
"Yeah, I'll have a set meal, plus an extra side of bread and ham and eggs..." Taking a seat at a single spot at the bar, Veronica began to order. She hesitated for a moment, then added something else, "And a beer for me, please."
"You're drinking today? Run into some good luck?" the owner raised an eyebrow.
Veronica shook her head with a smile, "Just felt like having one."
"Got it, coming right up," the owner nodded solemnly, then turned to call out to the kitchen, "Steamed meat set meal, extra bread, ham and eggs."
Then, he personally poured a cold beer from the barrel and handed it to Veronica, "A frosty beer, here you go!"
