I'm a male god in Liyue

"I've already removed it!"

"Let's go."

"Ok!"

Zhu Zi carefully opened the shop door.

Immediately, a joyful shout came from outside: "Open the door! Open the door!"

Zhu Zi quickly explained, "Not yet! We don't open until nine o'clock!"

Xia Zhi walked out and saw that a long queue had already formed outside.

The people of Liyue are so well-mannered!

Most of the people in the group were familiar faces; as for those who weren't familiar, they were probably brought along by those who were.

Xia Zhi stood at the shop entrance, facing everyone, and began to speak.

"Good morning, everyone. Thank you so much for your support. We are very touched that you have come so early to queue up. Our opening hours are set in advance and will not be changed for the time being. However, to express our gratitude for your patronage, the juices in our store will still be half price today. Welcome to come and try them."

“The boss is awesome!”

Xia Zhi smiled and nodded: "We're going to have breakfast first. Of course, we'll be back as soon as possible and try our best to open the shop early to serve you all."

"Boss, hurry up! We're waiting for you!"

"Boss, my family sells breakfast. How about I bring it over for you tomorrow morning? Just tell me what you want to eat!"

"boss……"

The people of Liyue are so warm and welcoming!

Chapter Sixty-Three: On Universal Reason

After having breakfast at a shop in Huyan, the two of them walked back.

Zhu Zi changed into flat shoes today, and the sound of her walking was not as crisp as yesterday, but it became lighter and more brisk.

Xia Zhiwei tilted her head back, thinking of Qi Qi.

She didn't come to the store this morning.

Perhaps it was because he saw that his shop had started operating and he was worried that sitting in the shop would affect business.

It's also possible that he gave her incense, and she was already full at the medicine shop.

"Boss, let's hurry back, there are a lot of people waiting."

"Hmm, don't rush. You just ate, and strenuous exercise is bad for your stomach."

"Boss, it seems like the tables in our shop can't accommodate that many customers."

"That's true, but there's nothing we can do about it. Our place is only so big. At Wanmintang, customers who arrive late have to wait patiently for a table. But we sell juice, so we could consider doing takeout."

"takeout?"

"It's about selling the cups along with the drinks to customers, so they can carry them in their hands and drink while shopping."

"Boss, the glass cups in our shop are so expensive!"

“We can use fresh bamboo tubes instead. There are lots of bamboo growing in Qingce Village, and lots of reeds growing in Dihua Prefecture. They can be used to make straws.”

"Where are Qingce Village and Dihua Prefecture?"

"They are two places located in the north of Liyue."

Is it far from here?

"It's quite far, but it's okay. Right now, it's just an idea of ​​mine. We'll go to the Adventurers' Guild at noon to post a request, get some bamboo tubes and reeds first, and see how they go before making any further plans."

"Okay! Boss!"

Back in the store, we opened for business.

Another busy morning has passed.

I went to Wanmin Hall for lunch, and then went to the Adventurers' Guild across from Wanmin Hall to post a quest with Catherine to collect bamboo and reeds. The demand wasn't too high, and they should be available around Liyue City.

Once the idea is confirmed to be feasible, in order to obtain a stable, long-term, and large-scale supply, it is necessary to contact the people in Qingcezhuang and Dihuazhou.

Back in the shop, the two sat together to rest and drink tea.

"Mr. Xia!"

A quirky, familiar voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Hall Master Hu."

Xia Zhi looked up, smiled and greeted her, while casually glancing at the tall, ethereal figure behind her.

"I'm here to patronize your business again!"

"Thank you."

"I also brought Zhongli, our guest master from the Rebirth Hall, to you. I told him he had never tasted the rainbow juice in your shop, but he didn't believe me!"

"is it?"

Xia Zhi thought to himself, "They are gods, who knows how long they have wandered around Teyvat, what haven't they seen?"

It's perfectly normal that He doesn't believe.

"Exactly! Are you guys resting right now?"

"It's alright. Master Hu is a friend, not a guest. I'll go and prepare it for you right away."

"Hehe, Mr. Xia is such a straightforward person. Here, this is 200 Mora."

"Master Hu, it's half price today too."

"Really?"

"real."

"That's great."

Zhongli simply greeted them in a calm tone: "Good afternoon, both of you."

"Guest Zhongli, please don't stand on ceremony, please have a seat."

Xia Zhi walked inside the table, took out a cup, and began to mix the juice.

A moment later, Xia Zhi brought a tray and placed two glasses of rainbow juice in front of Hu Tao and Zhong Li.

Zhongli looked at the colorful liquid in the cup, her eyes flickering slightly.

This was truly the first time he had ever seen such a beautiful drink.

Zhongli picked up the cup, took a small sip, and savored it carefully.

Hu Tao looked at him and asked eagerly, "How was it?"

Zhongli put down his cup and said slowly, "It is indeed a drink I have never had before. It is very unique, but the taste is a bit weak."

Hu Tao asked, somewhat puzzled, "Bland?"

Zhongli nodded and said, "Mm."

Walnut held her cup, took a sip of juice, and found it to be a dreamy taste unlike anything she'd had yesterday.

"I don't feel like the flavor is bland anywhere?"

"It's just a bit bland for me personally, but it should be just right for you."

"Really? I didn't expect Zhongli to have such unusual tastes."

"..."

Zhongli shook her head helplessly, picked up her cup again, and silently drank her juice.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment, then stood up and said softly, "Since Guest Zhongli thinks the flavor is a bit bland, why don't I remix it for you?"

Zhong Li stopped drinking and said, "Oh? Then I'll trouble Mr. Xia."

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "No trouble at all."

A moment later, Xia Zhi brought over three fresh glasses of juice.

From the outside, they look no different from the previous juices, with their beautiful rainbow colors, but the fruity aroma wafting from the glass has become much stronger.

Xia Zhi placed the three glasses of juice in front of Zhong Li one by one and said, "Please enjoy."

Zhong Li nodded, picked up the first glass of juice, and took a sip.

"How does Guest Elder Zhongli feel?"

"The flavor is still a bit bland."

"How about trying a second cup?"

"This tastes just right, I like it very much."
