I'm a male god in Liyue

Zhu Zi was taken aback: "Huh? It's delicious? Although the noodles the boss makes are indeed delicious, didn't Qi Qi not taste anything?"

Qi Qi said softly, "I don't know why, but now I can taste the flavors again, but only in the things Mr. Xia makes."

Zhu Zi fell into deep thought, then said seriously, "It must be that the boss's cooking skills have reached a new level."

Xia Zhi smiled and asked, "Where did you hear that from?"

That's how it's written in light novels!

"How many light novels have you actually read?"

“There are many. I used to buy every new book that Yaedo published every month! But buying them all is too expensive, so we would each buy one and then exchange them after we finished reading them.”

"...I think I understand why you dared to go out to sea alone..."

Zhu Zi lowered her head in embarrassment: "I acted impulsively back then, and even now, thinking back on it, I still feel that what I did was quite dangerous."

Xia Zhi nodded and warned, "It's good that you know it's dangerous. Don't do it again next time."

Zhu Zi replied honestly, "Yes."

Qiqi blinked, looking at the two of them, and felt that the scene was strangely similar to parents seriously disciplining a disobedient child.

She had never experienced such a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere in Bubulu.

After breakfast, Shen He went to wash the dishes, and Qi Qi diligently helped Zhu Zi wipe the table.

Xia Zhi mixed several rainbow juices and handed Qi Qi a specially made one.

Qiqi took a sip, and a satisfied and enjoyable expression immediately appeared on her face.

This is even better than incense!

Around 10 a.m., it started raining outside.

The shop's business has been affected as a result, mainly in its takeout business.

Because it's not convenient for guests to hold the cup while walking and drinking on rainy days, and rainwater can easily fall into it.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but start thinking about whether he should go to Chunxiang Kiln to order another batch of cup lids.

Xia Zhi cooked lunch, and because Qi Qi was there, she made two extra main dishes.

Qiqi ate with great relish.

There wasn't enough rice to eat.

Zhu Zi argued vehemently, "Boss! I told you to cook more rice! Qi Qi, why don't you stay for dinner tonight? Okay! I'll definitely cook more rice!"

Xia Zhi chuckled, thinking that this golden fried rice fanatic was probably hopeless. But Qi Qi had never tried golden fried rice before, so he might as well cook more. He could make some for Qi Qi to try tomorrow morning.

After lunch, Xia Zhi brewed a pot of fine tea from Qiaoyingzhuang and rested for a while before preparing to make desserts.

Today he's making glutinous rice dumplings with fillings, also known as daifuku.

Sweet red beans made with white jade flower honey, plus half a fresh berry.

A deluxe version of the otherworldly strawberry daifuku is ready.

Yao Yao really likes to eat this.

After all, white jade flower honey can enhance physical fitness, so young girls should eat more of it.

It was still raining outside in the afternoon, and the weather had become quite cool.

Xia Zhi looked at the shop door, wondering why Zhong Li hadn't arrived yet.

He didn't use [Stealing Techniques] yesterday because he wanted to save the cooldown time so he could use it at any time.

Xia Zhi was a little disappointed as the shop was about to close for the day and Zhong Li still hadn't arrived.

Just as he was about to randomly choose between Shen He and Qi Qi to use the [Stealing Skill], Hu Tao suddenly appeared.

"Miss Zhu, two glasses of juice, please!"

"it is good."

"Is there any free tofu pudding today?"

"No tofu pudding, but the owner made strawberry daifuku. Would Mr. Hu like to try some?"

What is a strawberry daifuku?

"It's a glutinous rice ball filled with strawberries, it's delicious!"

"Great! ... Oh? Isn't this Qiqi? Are you also working part-time at Mr. Xia's shop now?"

"Ah."

Qiqi nodded politely to Hu Tao and turned to get busy.

She still remembered the terrible things Hu Tao had done to her and didn't really want to deal with her.

Hu Tao stared at Qi Qi, watching her greet customers with a smile as they entered the store, her expression quite strange.

How come Qi Qi has changed so much in just a few days? If she couldn't clearly sense the excessive yin energy and death energy on Qi Qi's body, she would have thought she was a normal person just by looking at her outward appearance.

"Master Hu, here's your juice and strawberry daifuku."

"Oh, thank you!"

"Special offer: 200 Mora~"

"Okay, by the way, how many accounts has Zhongli kept at the store this time?"

"I need to check; Mr. Zhongli hasn't come these past two days..."

"He went to the construction site of Qunyu Pavilion."

"Hey?"

"He's the one who knows the old rules and ceremonies best when it comes to setting up the groundbreaking ceremony, so Ningguang invited him to give guidance."

"No wonder!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi, who was behind the table, suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder Mr. Zhongli hasn't been coming to the store these past few days; he's been busy.

However, since Master Hu is here today, let's choose Master Hu and see how much gold she truly possesses.

"Successfully used [Steal] skill and learned the skill [Border Walker] from the target."

"【Border Walker】: When entering the realm of the dead, one is unaffected by the negative effects of death energy and can see, touch, and harm incorporeal undead creatures."

Xia Zhi suddenly thought of the female ghost who would sneak into his room every night to steal food.

With this skill, it seems he can give the female ghost a massage now. I wonder what it feels like to touch her soul form?

Chapter 151 Why Don't We Stay Tonight?

After drinking the juice and eating the strawberry daifuku, Hu Tao got up to say goodbye and left.

As she left, she glanced at Qiqi, who was working, a few more times, wondering what she was thinking.

A little while later, it was time to leave work, and the shop closed for the day.

Shen He went into the kitchen, filled two food boxes with strawberry daifuku, held up an oil-paper umbrella, and escorted Yao Yao back, while also visiting Senior Sister Gan Yu.

Qiqi stayed, not caring whether she got to eat dinner or not; she mainly wanted to help Mr. Xia as much as possible.

By the time Shen He returned from Yujingtai, the meal was almost ready.

The dishes were even more plentiful than at lunchtime.

Halfway through his meal, Zhu Zi remarked, "I feel like the food tastes even better today."

Shen He nodded: "I feel the same way."

Qiqi lowered her head and ate her food attentively. She had never eaten this before and had no right to comment on it.

"Boss, have you really made a breakthrough in your cooking skills?"

"That's impossible. I must have just performed exceptionally well today."

"Oh!"

Actually, it's the hidden effect of the [Path of the Underworld Chef] (food deliciousness +10%) that's taking effect.

"Is Miss Qiqi going to gather herbs tonight?"

"I already went to collect herbs last night, and it's raining today, so I won't go again."

"Yes, it's not good to go out when it's raining, so we won't go for a walk tonight."

"Boss, let's play mahjong. With Qiqi, that makes four people."

"What does Miss Qiqi think?"

"...I'm not very good at playing mahjong."

"It's okay, we'll teach you!"

"it is good……"
