I'm a male god in Liyue

"Ah."

"Did you run very far?"

"It's a little far."

Did you bring instant noodles?

"I brought a box."

"That is not bad."

"Why hasn't Miss Akabane arrived yet today?"

"You slept in, didn't you? It's a rare Sunday today."

"Now that the weather is getting colder, I don't even want to get out of bed in the morning."

"Me too. It'll be even harder to get up early in winter."

"Our shop is alright, we don't start work until nine. I used to work at Chunxiangyao, which opened at seven, so I had to get up at six in the morning to get ready, make breakfast, and then rush to the shop."

"It's so tiring!"

"You're so lucky, your first job as a young person is like this... I'm so envious."

"Hey, Qiqi must like winter, right?"

"Yes, I used to like it because it was cool, but now I have the beads that Mr. Xia gave me, and it's cool in both winter and summer."

Lips tend to get dry and chapped in winter.

"Don't worry about that, because I'm currently working on lipsticks."

"Lipstick?"

"It's a lip balm that you can apply to your lips. It moisturizes your lips, and in winter, just a little bit will keep your lips soft and supple."

"really?"

"Of course, but I'm still working on it. I'm not very familiar with those alchemical tools yet, but the boss has been too busy these past few days, so I can't keep asking him for help."

"come on."

Just then, Xia Zhi's voice came from the kitchen: "Breakfast is ready, everyone come in and take it."

"it is good!"

"Miss Akabane, you've arrived! Just in time!"

"right!"

Everyone has had breakfast.

Shen He took the booklet that Xia Zhi had written the night before and went to Yuehai Pavilion to give it to Ning Guang and ask her to invite Ke Qing to dinner at the shop that evening.

Ningguang smiled and nodded in agreement.

After seeing Shen He off, Ningguang sat down at the table and carefully examined the improved papermaking method.

The steps above are written very clearly, even she, a layman, can understand them. There are no technical difficulties at all, and it's the kind of thing you can use immediately after receiving it.

"Mr. Xia always manages to surprise me, Bai Xiao."

"Lord Ningguang."

"Go and make a copy of this booklet. Keep the original in the secret archives, and then send the copy to our official paper mill."

"Yes!"

"Remember to sign new contracts with the paper mill supervisors and above. The news about the new paper cannot be leaked for the time being."

"Yes!"

"Hundred Knowledges".

"Lord Ningguang."

"Go find Yuheng Star and tell her about Shen He's invitation."

"Yes."

Each of them, possessing vast knowledge and expertise, accepted their orders and departed.

"A sharp drop in paper prices is good for ordinary people, but not for these people."

Ningguang sat alone in the chair, looking at a list on the table, her eyes gleaming.

"I still need to make some careful plans, otherwise these paper manufacturers, big and small, won't be willing to give up this lucrative opportunity."

Zhu Zi and Ying Er went to the port area together to visit Miss Yan Fei at the legal consulting firm and invited her to lunch.

Diona and Miss Akabane were washing dishes in the kitchen, while the Great Tree King sat at the table reading a book.

Qiqi took the box she had put in the corner and said, "Mr. Xia, I dug up a Purple Herb last night."

"Oh? Really? This kind of thing is hard to find."

"I sealed it with ice."

"Yes, that's a good idea. You can keep it."

“I don’t need it and I have nowhere to put it, Mr. Xia, please take it.”

“I don’t really need it… but it’s really not appropriate to keep such a highly poisonous herb in Bubu’s hut, so I’ll keep it for you for now.”

"it is good."

Xia Zhi added the Purple Herb to his inventory and gave Professor Qi Qi some new herb identification tips.

Qiqi took out her notebook and started taking notes very seriously.

After talking for a while, Diona ran out of the kitchen with her shaker, her face beaming.

"Boss, my fermented rice is ready!"

"What wine?"

"A classic wine from Mondstadt! Would you like to try it?"

"Pour me some."

"it is good!"

Diona poured Xia Zhi a small cup.

Xia Zhi tasted it, his expression strange.

"Boss, is it good?"

Did you try it yourself?

"I tried a little."

"how do you feel?"

"taste not good."

"..."

"No, I mean, it tastes just as bad as any other wine I've ever had."

"..."

"No, no, it's just that I personally feel all the wines taste awful, except for the rice wine you brewed, boss..."

Diona blushed and kept trying to explain.

Standing behind her, Akabane couldn't help but laugh as he watched her tail wriggle around.

"It's okay, don't be nervous, I'm not blaming you."

"So... boss, do you think it tastes good?"

"good."

"good?"

"It tastes a bit sour. Did you brew it in that jar in the kitchen?"

"Yes! It's fermented in no time, so convenient! If it tastes sour, could it be because I didn't wash the pickled vegetables properly when I made them in the jar before?"

"No, it's not a problem with the jar, it's a problem with the raw materials."

"I brewed it according to the recipe in the book!"

"It's a matter of grape variety. Because of the different climate and soil, the grapes in Mondstadt taste somewhat different from those in Liyue, which leads to differences in the taste of the wines they produce."

"That……"

"The solution is simple, Diona, just add some black pepper or something to the drink and adjust it."
