"it is good."
Xia Zhi poured two glasses, added black pepper, shook them, and handed one to Shen He.
The two drank the wine in their glasses, and Xia Zhi even showed a hint of lingering enjoyment on his face.
"It tastes really good."
Ms. Shen He has always had unique tastes; she used to enjoy eating raw Qingxin (a type of herbal tea), it's hard to say, but the boss...
Zhu Zi and Ying Er exchanged a glance and fell silent.
Oh no, it seems the boss's sense of taste has gone bad.
Chapter 305 The reason for Prince Yan's retirement has been found (4K)
Under everyone's gaze.
Xia Zhi picked up the shaker on the table, poured himself another glass of wine into a clean glass, added a little black pepper, and gently swirled it.
Then he looked up at Zhu Zi and Ying Er: "Would you like to try some more?"
Both girls shook their heads in unison: "No, no!"
The sour and spicy taste was still lingering on their tongues, making them really not want to try it again.
"Those who drink can order one dish for lunch today..."
"I come!"
"I come!"
The two girls had just started to speak.
The cup on the table was gone.
There are ghosts!
They turned to look, and Miss Akabane had already raised her glass and taken a sip, a hint of lingering enjoyment on her face: "That's right, that's the taste!"
Ying'er couldn't help but ask, "Is it delicious?"
"It tastes good... Boss, can I order some food?"
"Just order it."
"I want to eat braised pork and bamboo shoot soup!"
"Row."
Miss Akabane nodded with satisfaction.
Zhu Zi looked at her and said, "Miss Chi Yu is so cunning!"
"cunning!"
"They actually ran away without permission!"
"Running away without permission!"
"Ying'er, don't mimic me."
"Oh."
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "See? I didn't lie to you."
"Boss, I was wrong."
"I was wrong."
"Do you want more drinks?"
"need."
"Want to try."
"Okay...how does it feel to you?"
After the two girls finished drinking, their expressions turned somewhat surprised.
"Seriously, the taste is completely different from before, boss, how did you do that?"
"Just a little bartending technique."
"We didn't see you mixing drinks."
"Swirling the glass is when you're mixing the drink."
"!"
"Diona knows this technique too. If you want to know, you can ask her when she gets back. Okay, I'm going to the kitchen to prepare the dishes. I need to grind the tofu."
"Let me help you grind the grain."
"Boss, let me help you wash the vegetables!"
"I am coming too."
"Don't all come in. Leave two people here to make tea for the guests later."
"Qiqi and Xiaci, please stay here. It's too hot in the kitchen."
"……Um."
Qiqi silently sat back down.
This is a matter of physical constitution, there's nothing we can do about it.
She currently possesses the [Corpse Bead], so although she is not afraid of heat, if she gets too close to the stove, the invisible cold air emanating from her will affect the temperature of the pot, which in turn will affect the chef's cooking, making the heat less than perfect.
That wouldn't be helping, that would be causing trouble.
Qiqi glanced at Xia Ci, who was quietly reading at the table, and also took out her own notes, lowered her head and began to review seriously.
Around 11 o'clock, Zhongli, Baishu, and Yanfei arrived at the shop one after another.
Qiqi quickly put away her notes and ran to make tea.
Xia Ci then closed the book, put it aside, and came over to greet the three guests.
After waiting all morning, the fun is finally here!
"My cousin is busy cooking in the kitchen. Everyone, please sit down first. How about we play mahjong for a while?"
Yan Fei smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Zhongli replied calmly, "Okay."
Bai Shu smiled gently: "Alright."
Facing three overpowered opponents, Bai Shu suffered a crushing defeat, as expected.
Xia Zhi came out of the kitchen halfway through and greeted everyone. Seeing Chang Sheng's somewhat anxious look, she couldn't help but laugh.
Dr. Bai, without any auspicious signs, all your good deeds are useless.
It's good that you guys don't send money.
Changsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when it was time to eat; it felt ashamed to lose any longer.
Bai Shu didn't care about that and smiled as he helped tidy up the mahjong tiles: "It seems I'm really not suited to playing this kind of game. I should stay at Bubu Cottage and focus on getting better."
Zhongli said calmly, "This thing is just for entertainment. It's suitable for playing with in your spare time, but you shouldn't get addicted to it all day long."
The Great Tree King next to him gave him a strange look. No, who exactly is it that follows Risui and Tsuki to the teahouse all day?
Oh, you're retired? You have so much free time every day? That's alright then.
When the food was served, there was a fresh lotus seed porridge specially prepared for Bai Zhu, a magical mapo tofu specially prepared for Yan Fei, and a dish of peace and harmony specially prepared for Zhong Li.
Xia Zhi then had Diona mix several glasses of rainbow rice wine for everyone, which was even more upscale than the banquet at Qunyu Pavilion a few days ago.
After lunch, Xia Zhi and the three guests sat down at another table to discuss business.
Xia Ci moved a chair and sat down next to Xia Zhi, maintaining a quiet and obedient posture.
"I invited the three of you here today because I have a favor to ask of you."
"What's the matter?"
"You all probably know about the chess king competition held by the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce a few days ago, right?"
"Ah."
"I invented mahjong, so I also get a share of the profits from this competition. Yesterday, the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce sent over my share of the profits."
Xia Zhi took out the anonymous Northern Bank card and placed it on the table.
"A total of 20 million Mora."
Over the years, Bai Zhu has spent astronomical sums of money collecting medicinal herbs.
The cases that Yan Fei handled were often in the tens of millions, and some even reached hundreds of millions.
As for Zhongli, this God of Wealth doesn't even take Mora seriously.
