I'm a male god in Liyue

"Okay, we need to go early. There are a lot of customers, and we'll have to wait in line."

"A queue? It's so popular? What kind of juice is it?"

"You'll find out when you go to the store tomorrow."

--

In a small shop during the summer, a few people are sitting together chatting.

Gan Yu talked about the battles that took place during the war between demons and gods, Zhu Zi told the folk legend of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons of Inazuma, and Xia Zhi gave a modified version of Journey to the West. As for Shen He and Qi Qi, the two quiet girls sat quietly on the side as listeners.

The main problem was that there wasn't much fun to do in the store, so everyone just chatted idly.

There is a card game called "Seven Saints Summoning" that is quite popular in this world. Xia Zhi even heard the customers in the store mention that a limited edition rare card can even sell for as much as 100 million Mora.

However, Xia Zhi's current character is blind, so he can't play this kind of card game.

The other girls hadn't played these kinds of card games much before, and weren't very interested in them.

There are indeed many things in the world that can be played with friends, such as various board games, but if we're talking about something that even a blind person can participate in, then mahjong is probably the most suitable.

He can tell which card it is just by feeling it.

The shop sells mahjong tiles. These common items only cost 1 point, but the numbers "one" to "nine" on the Wan (character) tiles are different from the numbers commonly used in Liyue. People in this world might find it a bit strange.

After chatting for two hours, around four o'clock, Xia Zhi got up and went to the kitchen to prepare food, and the three girls went in to help.

Qiqi sat alone in the front hall, waiting for someone to come and open the door.

There will be many people in the evening, so Xia Zhi plans to make a serving of sixteen bowls.

Among them, the Magical Mapo Tofu was a dish he specially prepared for Yan Fei, who loves tofu, so even though he had already made it once at noon, he would make it again in the evening.

For the remaining fifteen dishes, Xia Zhi planned to make them different from the lunch menu, mainly replicating Liyue cuisine. After all, the Luna Festival is a major local festival in Liyue, and it's only right to follow local customs. Moreover, Mr. Zhongli is very likely to be the Geo Archon, so Liyue cuisine should best suit his taste.

Grilled tigerfish, spicy and numbing chicken, crystal prawns, emerald assorted vegetables, cold mixed vegetables...

At 5:30, Grandma Ping, Yao Yao, Xiang Ling, Yan Fei, and Guo Ba arrived together.

"Big brother! Senior sister won the championship!"

"Congratulations, Miss Xiangling."

"Hehe, I really have to thank Mr. Xia for his help the other day!"

"Wow! Xiangling is going to be the Queen of Chefs!"

"Miss Zhu, please don't shout like that! I'm still a long way from there! Hey! Guoba! Stop right there! You're not allowed to sneak into the kitchen!"

"Well!……"

"You're trying to steal some food again! You bad rice crust!"

"Well!……"

Xiangling quickly grabbed Guoba.

Guoba looked pitiful.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at this amusing scene.

Yan Fei walked over, carrying a beautifully packaged little bag.

"Mr. Xia, I'm very sorry. I was invited by Seven Stars to be the host of today's cooking competition, so I couldn't come here at noon and didn't have time to inform you."

"It's alright, Miss Yanfei, you don't need to worry about it. Lunch and dinner are the same. It's good that you came."

"I helped a client from Fontainebleau with a case a couple of days ago. She also works in the eyewear industry. I noticed that Mr. Xia seemed to like black-rimmed glasses, so I asked her to make me a pair as a return gift for the mooncakes."

"Thank you, Miss Yanfei."

Xia Zhi took the small bag and thanked him with a smile. He didn't really care about returning the gift; what mattered was his friend's thoughtfulness.

"Please sit down, everyone. We can start eating once Mr. Zhongli arrives."

--

Liuli Pavilion, a large private room.

The employees of Wangshengtang are having a meal together.

Hu Tao coughed and, as the head of the hall, spoke: "Everyone in the Hall of Rebirth, you've worked hard every day, thank you for your hospitality today..."

After a brief exchange, just as they were about to start eating, Hu Tao suddenly realized that someone seemed to be missing.

"Where's Zhongli?"

"Mr. Zhongli just left. He said someone invited him to dinner and he has to go there."

"what?"

Isn't the food at Liuli Pavilion delicious?

Chapter 119 The Second Diamond Item

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

There was a knock on the door.

Yao Yao quickly ran over to open the door.

"Mr. Zhongli is here!"

"Yes, I've kept you all waiting."

"No! We just arrived a little while ago!"

Zhong Li walked into the store and greeted everyone with a calm expression.

Yao Yao closed the door and ran to the kitchen.

A moment later, Xia Zhi came out and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhongli is here."

"I apologize for bothering you, Mr. Xia."

"Don't bother us, now that everyone's here, let's start eating."

"Ok!"

The girls helped serve the dishes, and sixteen bowls of food were placed full on two tables that had been temporarily put together.

Would Mr. Zhongli like a drink?

"No need, I'll just have juice, like everyone else."

"it is good."

Zhong Li took a glass of rainbow juice specially made for him, took a sip, and found it delicious.

He suddenly thought of his old friend far away in Mondstadt. If He had tasted this strange beverage, he wondered if He would still be so fond of alcohol…

Shaking his head inwardly, Zhongli put down his cup and looked at the steamer that had just been opened on the table, its aroma filling the air with the steam.

Inside are crystal shrimp that are translucent and clear, but unlike the usual way of cooking them, the crystal shrimp in this steamer are standing upright, resembling rising dragons.

Xiangling was quite surprised.

"Mr. Xia, what is this?"

"Crystal shrimp, but I made a slight modification."

Zhu Zi couldn't understand it, but he was deeply shocked.

She picked up a crystal shrimp with her chopsticks and took a small bite.

"Mmm~ Delicious!"

Zhongli immediately recognized the brilliance of this dish. After trying one, he felt that it tasted better than any crystal shrimp he had ever eaten.

"It should utilize the principle of two different types of dumpling wrappers, wheat and oat wrappers, which expand at different rates when heated."

Xiangling suddenly realized: "I see! What a brilliant idea!"

Xia Zhi glanced at Zhong Li, and after tasting the glowing dish, the glittering diamond progress bar on his body indeed increased by nearly 10%.

"Mr. Zhongli is indeed very knowledgeable."

"I can only talk the talk, but I can't actually make such exquisite dishes."

"Mr. Zhongli, please try some other dishes. Although they are all famous Liyue dishes, I have made some modifications to them. I don't know if they will suit your taste."

"Um……"

"Miss Yanfei, this is tofu we made ourselves this morning. Would you like to try some?"

"Delicious! This doesn't seem to be meat, does it?"

"It's fried soybeans and minced meat."

"No wonder the flavors blend so perfectly, I really enjoy it!"

"That's good."

After Zhongli had tasted the other glowing dishes on the table, Xia Zhi heard the system notification sound in his mind.
