The three of them worked for a while longer before they finished baking all the mooncakes they had made that morning.

The entire kitchen was filled with the unique aroma of baked goods.

"Zhu Zi, could you bring me the food boxes I bought this morning?"

"Oh!"

Zhu Zi brought over some exquisite small food boxes and some clean oil paper.

Open the food box, first line it with two layers of parchment paper, then select mooncakes that are not damaged and neatly arrange them inside.

"Boss, are all the boxes full?"

"Let's pack one first, and then we'll take it to Xiangling so she can try it while it's hot. We'll pack the rest of the mooncakes this afternoon after they've cooled down."

After filling a food box, Zhu Zi and Shen He put the remaining mooncakes into the cupboard, tidied up the scene briefly, and the three of them walked out of the kitchen together.

The two little girls sat at the table, chatting about something. Yao Yao was swinging her legs slightly and covering her mouth, laughing non-stop, while Qi Qi held a mooncake with a blank expression on her face.

"Big brother, have you all finished baking?"

"Well, we've been busy for so long, it's about time we went to have lunch. Would you like to come along, Miss Qiqi?"

"I'm not going. I'll watch the shop for you."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Miss Qiqi. Let's make snow skin mooncakes together this afternoon. I'll make you coconut milk flavored ones; you'll probably like them more."

"it is good."

"Then let's go."

Qiqi watched everyone leave, then looked down at the last piece of mooncake in her hand.

Yao Yao said it was very delicious, the best thing she had ever eaten.

After looking at it for a long time, Qiqi finally put the mooncake in her mouth and slowly ate it while enjoying the aroma of the incense.

good to eat……

Upon arriving at Wanmin Hall, Yao Yao greeted Xiang Ling happily: "Senior Sister! Yao Yao has come to play with you!"

Xiangling smiled and patted her junior sister's head: "Did Yaoyao practice shooting today?"

"I already practiced this morning!"

"Yaoyao is really hardworking."

"Yes!"

Xiangling looked at Xia Zhi and asked curiously, "How do you two know Yao Yao?"

"I invited Qiqi to come to the store to play, and Yaoyao came with Qiqi."

"So that's how it is, what a coincidence."

"Yes, what a coincidence, we even made mooncakes together this morning."

"moon cake?"

"Yes, we also brought you some mooncakes, as a small token of our appreciation."

As Xia Zhi spoke, he handed the small food box in his hand to Xiang Ling.

"Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Xia!"

Xiangling quickly accepted it with both hands and thanked her.

Out of politeness, she did not open the food box in front of him, but she felt that the box was quite heavy and the "mooncakes" inside seemed to be quite plentiful.

Xia Zhi didn't mind this, but the three girls beside him all stared at Xiang Ling.

Xiangling looked up, about to ask everyone what they wanted to eat for lunch, when she met their strange looks.

Xiangling was taken aback: "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Yao Yao looked at her and asked, "Senior sister, don't you want to see the mooncakes we made?"

Xiangling smiled and said, "I'll take a break and then see. There are a lot of customers eating now, and I'm busy with work. By the way, what dishes would you like to eat today? Yaoyao, would you like to order the boiled fish again?"

"I... don't really want to eat boiled fish today."

"Then Qingce Farmhouse Cuisine?"

"I don't really want to eat it."

"Here comes the food?"

"I don't really want to eat it."

"Is Yao Yao sick? Is she not having a good appetite?"

Yao Yao shook her head: "No, Yao Yao has just eaten mooncakes, so she's not hungry now."

Xiangling immediately reprimanded, "You're at a crucial stage of your growth, you can't skip meals just because you're not hungry..."

"Yaoyao knows, she will eat."

"Okay, that's good. Mr. Xia, what would you like to eat?"

"Miss Xiangling, do you have any new dishes today?"

"some!"

"Let's try the new dishes, and also have a serving of crab roe tofu. What else would you like to eat?"

Zhu Zi shook her head: "I don't need it, boss, I'm not very hungry."

Shen He also shook his head: "I'm not very hungry either."

Xia Zhi couldn't help but smile. Mooncakes are the most tempting baked goods when they are fresh out of the oven. While they were baking in the kitchen, the two girls couldn't resist their appetite and ate several mooncakes, which is why they feel full now.

"Then let's add another bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup, to help you guys cut through the grease."

"Okay, please have a seat and wait a moment."

Xiangling wrote down the dishes, took the small food box and went into the kitchen, casually placing the food box on the empty table next to the stove.

The food box was closed, but there was still a tiny gap, through which a wisp of mooncake aroma wafted out and was detected by the rice crust burning behind the stove.

"Huh!?..."

Guoba perked up and immediately turned to look at the exquisite food box.

Four people sat together around a table outside.

Zhu Zi asked in a low voice, "Boss, didn't you say this morning that you were going to cook for Yao Yao?"

Xia Zhi nodded: "Yes, that's what I was thinking, but since Yao Yao refused, then forget it."

Zhu Zi and Shen He looked at Yao Yao together, their eyes conveying a sense of "Yao Yao, are you confused?!"

There was no way around it, since Xia Zhi had never shown his culinary skills in front of everyone before, and had only given Xiang Ling pointers through tasting, so everyone didn't have a clear idea of ​​his cooking abilities.

It wasn't until they tasted the mooncakes Xia Zhi casually made this morning that they realized just how terrifying his culinary skills were.

That deliciousness was simply addictive, making it impossible to resist.

The little girl lowered her head timidly.

Zhu Zi looked away and asked in a low voice, "Boss, why don't you participate in the cooking competition?"

"Because there are no rewards for participating in the competition."

"You can get the title of Liyue's King of Chefs!"

"and then?"

"Then we can attract a lot of customers to our store... Oh, that doesn't seem necessary, we already have plenty of customers... hiccup..."

Zhu Zi suddenly hiccuped.

"Fool."

"I'm not stupid."

"I told you not to eat too many mooncakes, but you still ate so many. Now you're stuffed, aren't you?"

"Those mooncakes are all broken, it's such a waste not to eat them... *burp*"

"It's not like I'm telling you to just throw them away. You can put them aside for now. Besides, what's the big deal? Mooncakes aren't hard to make. If you want to eat them later, I'll make them for you again."

"Hiccup... because the mooncakes smelled so good... I couldn't resist... hiccup..."

Zhu Zi blushed and covered her mouth with her hand, but she still couldn't stop hiccuping.

Xia Zhi sighed and beckoned to her: "Come here."

"belch?"

"Let me help you catch your breath, hurry up."

"belch."

Although Zhu Zi didn't know what the boss was going to do, he still obediently got up and came to him.

"Turn around and face away from me."
