I'm a male god in Liyue

Nature is a good thing.

This means that his investments have paid off these days.

The two black iron boxes containing year-end bonuses that he gave out this morning have essentially returned tenfold.

And Master Mao, a black iron-colored progress bar also appeared on his body.

[Progress: 0%]

This was an unexpected bonus.

As for Baixiao and Baiwen, they come to freeload meals and massages far less often than Baishi, probably because they are still lacking experience points and therefore haven't leveled up.

Xia Zhi glanced at it twice, then shifted her gaze to the other side, focusing on Guoba.

He saw that the rice crust was growing.

It's like my cousin drank the "Essence of the Sun and Moon" and her body grew from a little girl into a young woman.

Guoba's body was also slowly growing, but the change was very small and not as obvious as her cousin's.

This means that Guoba's strength is slowly recovering after consuming [God Jumps Over the Wall].

Xia Zhi remembered what Gan Yu had told him before about Guoba's true identity.

The former "Demon of the Hearth" - Maxiuse.

Xia Zhi remembered that when he was filling the progress bar on Guoba, it was because Guoba had stolen the mooncakes he made, causing the progress bar on it to be filled instantly.

At the time, he was quite puzzled by this.

Looking back now, perhaps it's because Guoba's identity is the "Demon God of the Stove," so food-related interactions have a certain special effect on him.

After a while, everyone gradually came to their senses.

The first to come to their senses were ordinary people.

Diona stared at the "God Jumps Over the Wall" in her bowl and muttered to herself, "The boss was right after all. If I eat this first, I won't want to eat anything else..."

Bai Shu pushed up his glasses, his eyes filled with surprise. Just that small bite had made him feel his life force overflowing. He turned to look at Chang Sheng on his neck and whispered, "Quickly use the power of the symbiotic contract to absorb more [life force], don't waste it."

Chang Sheng was also helpless, and replied in a low voice, "I'm already trying my best to absorb it, but the [life force] on your side is too vast, I simply can't absorb it all... Don't eat yet..."

Charlotte turned her head and called softly, "Lady Ningguang."

Ningguang looked at her: "Hmm?"

"Liyue has a wide variety of delicious food. I think we could totally put up a 'Food Column' in our Liyue newspaper. What do you think?"

"can."

The immortals were the ones who regained consciousness next.

Grandma Ping looked on with emotion, while True Lord Li Shui and True Lord Xiao Yue looked satisfied, and Xiao silently ate his second spoonful.

The three gods and Guoba were the last to regain consciousness.

Because of their connection to God, they experience the deliciousness of food more intensely.

Xia Zhen stared blankly at the "God Jumps Over the Wall" in the bowl.

Xia Ci, who was next to her, gently nudged her with her elbow and whispered with a smile, "You were still hesitant yesterday when I asked you to recognize your cousin, but now you know how good your older cousin is, right?"

Xia Zhen turned to look at her, frowning slightly: "What do you mean by 'adopted cousin'? He's already my cousin. Hmm, his cooking is still as delicious as it was at home..."

"?"

Xia Ci stared blankly at her.

After a long silence, she sighed softly, "I originally thought only Shen He was worthy of being my opponent, but I didn't expect there to be other masters..."

Once everyone was awake, Xia Zhi asked, "Is everyone satisfied with this main course?"

"Satisfied!"

"It truly deserves the title of 'divine leap over the wall'!"

"Mr. Xia's cooking skills are truly incredible."

"You flatter me, everyone. If you like it, please eat more. If you're still not satisfied after you've finished eating, you can come back here for more."

"!"

"Just please take care of your health and don't overeat."

"Uh-huh!"

True Lord Li Shui and True Lord Xiao Yue exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with relief.

Fortunately, they had gone to find some medicinal herbs beforehand and had Doctor Bai make some stomach-strengthening and digestive pills, otherwise they would have been left only to sigh at the sight of the vegetables today.

This hard work of traversing mountains and valleys was totally worth it!

Xiao, who was standing next to him, had already silently finished eating the [God Jumps Over the Wall] in his bowl, and he felt a little full.

As a demon, I should naturally learn more from the Emperor… Since the Emperor has taken medicine, there must be a reason for it…

Xiao quietly put a pill into his mouth.

The sweet and sour taste of the medicine bursts forth on the tip of the tongue.

Then, he felt the fullness in his stomach quickly subside.

I'm getting a little hungry again.

It's truly a miracle drug.

No wonder even the Emperor said it was delicious.

Xiao, holding his own bowl, silently got up and walked towards Xia Zhi.

The True Lord of Lishui and the True Lord of Xiaoyue were both stunned.

Xiao ate so fast!

This is what a master does.

In the end, everyone finished the entire large jar of "God Jumps Over the Wall".

Guoba even wanted to jump into the jar to lick the remaining soup on top.

Fortunately, Xiangling stopped him.

After tidying up the scene, we brewed a few pots of tea and sat down to chat.

Charlotte came over.

"Mr. Xia."

"Ok?"

"That's right, we've started a new astrology column in our newspaper."

"I know that. Zhu Zi read it to me. That teacher Mona is very good at astrology. It has indeed been sunny for the past week."

“Mr. Xia is too modest. I heard from Lady Ningguang that you are also proficient in divination. If you are interested in Teacher Mona’s astrology, I can invite her over to exchange ideas with you another day.”

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

"Mr. Xia, you're too kind. Actually, I also have something I'd like to ask you."

"what's up?"

"After I came to Liyue, I discovered that there is an incredible variety of delicious food in Liyue. Although our newspaper recently started a star chart column, Mona only writes one article a week, and there are still six days of pages without interesting content to fill. So, I want to start a food column as well."

"This idea is indeed feasible."

"Would Mr. Xia be interested in contributing articles to the Liyue Newspaper?"

“Contributing articles… I’ll pass, but you can ask Xiangling. She’s a master chef now, and she even won the Chef King Competition. She’s a household name in Liyue City, so she’s a more suitable contributor than me.”

"Miss Xiangling, are you interested?"

"Yes," Xiangling nodded, but looked a little embarrassed. "However, I'm not very good at writing."

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "It's alright, I can help you."

"Great! With Master's help, there won't be any problems!"

Charlotte looked at Xiangling and discussed the details with her: "For submissions, we need one article per week."

"Uh-huh!"

"As for the payment, according to our newspaper's standard, it's 10,000 Mora per article. You have the status of a culinary king and the background of Wanmintang, so you're a celebrity. Therefore, we can offer you a higher price, 20,000 Mora per article. What do you think?"

"Okay."

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

"Happy cooperation!"

Master Mao listened to his daughter and Charlotte discussing business, his expression a mixture of satisfaction and complexity.

You can earn 20,000 Mora for writing one article. If you write one article a week, that's four articles a month, which is 80,000 Mora.

Wanmintang takes the affordable route. Although the business looks good, the profit is actually far less than that of Xinyuexuan and Liuliting. The net income per month is only about 100,000 Mora.

Sigh, my daughter has grown up.
