Why is it ironic that Yulia says merci to the narrator when he pays her 11 rubles in The Ninny?

It is ironic because "merci" is a French word for "thank you," which implies gratitude and politeness, but in this context, Yulia is actually being sarcastic and mocking the narrator for only paying her 11 rubles, which is far less than what she expected or deserved. The use of "merci" adds an additional layer of sarcasm to her response.
