I'm a male god in Liyue

"I'm fine with anything... If the boss wants to go, I can go with you and protect you."

"Well, thank you."

Xia Zhi thought for a moment, then said with a smile.

"It's late autumn now, not the right time for travel. We can go to Mondstadt for a trip next spring."

"really?"

"Yes, it's a benefit activity for the store. We organize a trip, and all expenses on the trip will be charged to the store's account."

Wow! Long live the boss!

"Speaking of group training activities, since we have a day off today, why don't we go to Heyu Tea House?"

"Boss, the tea there is no good! It's not the immortal tea from Jueyun Pavilion!"

"We don't drink tea, we just listen to the opera, but it seems the rule there is that you have to order tea to sit for a while."

"Then we can order the cheapest pot of tea!"

"Ah."

Chapter 146 This is how Gan Yu is used

The Heyu Tea House wasn't very lively in the morning.

Because people who drink tea usually come in the afternoon.

Yunhan Society usually doesn't perform until the afternoon.

At this moment, there was only a tea master on the platform telling a story, titled "Lord Yan Leads His Yakshas to Fight the Sea Demon".

"The sentiments of modern people can still be recounted, but the events of a thousand years ago are hard to preserve. A century of war saw the return of sages, but the stories of immortals continue to be told."

"...At that time, the land of Liyue was rife with war between hundreds of demons and monsters, causing immense suffering to the people... So, the Rock King led his immortals to save the people from their dire straits... The Rock King was the progenitor of all immortals. He was accompanied by five great guardian Yakshas, ​​each possessing extraordinary supernatural powers and unparalleled strength!"

Xia Zhi listened quietly. He was not unfamiliar with the term "Yaksha" because he had seen a few words about it in the book "Jueyun Jiwen".

"The Yaksha is a mythical beast of Liyue, known for its ferocity, terror, and fierce fighting, which kills to protect the Dharma."

"Although the Yakshas possess great power, they are not immune to the entanglements of karma and the defilement of hatred."

Based on the records in the book and folk legends, if these are true, it is not difficult to see that Yaksha is a guardian of Liyue, and one who specializes in martial arts.

This is why they committed so many killings that they were burdened with karmic obstacles, and most of them ended up with an ominous fate, which is why they have now disappeared without a trace.

All of this is truly heartbreaking.

Karmic obstacles...

Xia Zhi suddenly remembered the [Bodhi Beads] that he had previously obtained but then reverted to an earlier state.

That item can eliminate karmic obstacles; I wonder if it will work on Yakshas.

As Xia Zhi pondered this, he picked up his teacup and took a sip.

This taste...

Xia Zhi silently put down the teacup in her hand again.

It's a long story...

He had ordered this cheapest tea before, but he thought it tasted so-so back then. Mainly because he hadn't yet acquired the skill [Art Appreciation] from Lord Rock, and he wasn't as picky about tea as he is now.

Tea ceremony is also a kind of art. Now that he has become a connoisseur, when he drinks this cheap tea, he can clearly feel that many aspects of the tea production process are not done well. Selection of tea leaves, selection of water, water temperature, rinsing tea... Xia Zhi suddenly remembered that Hu Tao used to complain to him that Zhong Li always ordered the most expensive tea when he went to drink tea, and he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

After listening to a storyteller, the three left the Heyu Teahouse.

"Boss, where are we going?"

"Let's go shopping and buy some good tea while we're at it."

"Peerless Cloud Immortal Tea!"

"You probably can't buy the real celestial tea in the shops here, but you can buy some good tea produced by Qiaoying Manor."

"Qiaoying Village? Where is that?"

"It's a place located in northern Liyue, bordering Fontaine, and its tea is quite famous."

"It must be very expensive."

"It's not easy to transport these from Qiaoyingzhuang, so they must be quite expensive. We can buy some to make tea or tea eggs."

"Tea eggs?"

"A kind of braised egg, it's quite delicious."

Zhu Zi couldn't help but secretly swallow.

She doesn't know when it started, but every time she hears the name of a food she's never heard of before from her boss, her mouth starts watering uncontrollably.

"Let's go buy some tea! And some eggs too!"

"Ah."

Feiyunpo is full of elegant shops, but if you want to buy ingredients, you have to go to Huyan.

The three of them went to the general market, browsed around, bought tea and eggs, and also bought some flour.

On the way back, I passed by Chunxiang Kiln and saw Ying'er standing at the door, beckoning customers to buy things.

Zhu Zi greeted her warmly, "Miss Ying'er!"

"Miss Zhu, what's going on here...?"

"We have a day off today, so we're out shopping for groceries!"

"Oh... a holiday..."

Then the three of them left under Ying'er's envious and complicated gaze.

By the afternoon.

The tea eggs in the pot were still slowly soaking in the brine, while Shen He was washing the dishes.

Zhu Zi lay on the table, sniffing the aroma wafting from the kitchen, looking somewhat absent-minded.

Xia Zhi held a cup of hot tea and savored it attentively.

"Boss, Xiangling is out, so Wanmintang shouldn't be as crowded as before, right?"

"Ah."

"So, should we eat at home or go to Wanmintang Restaurant from now on?"

"Either is fine. If you don't want to go grocery shopping too early, then we can eat at Wanmintang..."

"No, no, no! Boss! I really enjoy waking up early!"

"Yeah?"

"Yes!"

"Then we'll eat at home."

"Ok!"

"You can buy some milk tomorrow morning, and I'm going to make some egg tarts."

"Egg tarts!"

Although she didn't know what egg tarts were, Zhu Zi couldn't help but swallow her saliva again and quickly agreed.

"I'll remember to buy milk!"

Xia Zhi nodded and took another sip of tea.

As expected of Qiaoyingzhuang's fine tea, although it is very expensive, the taste is much better than the tea I had this morning.

I made fries and ketchup yesterday, and I'll make egg tarts tomorrow. So, as the main dish in the meal, I can also make fried chicken.

Hmm, how about we wait until Thursday and have Zhu Zi go to the market to buy two chickens? We can make a family bucket then.

After a while, Shen He came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, sat down and naturally poured himself a cup of tea, which he drank quietly.

Zhu Zi sniffed and couldn't help but ask, "Boss, how long do you need to boil the tea eggs?"

"If you want to eat one, you can scoop one out now to try, but it will taste even better if you braise it for a little longer."

"Then I'll wait a little longer!"

"Bring the mahjong tiles over, let's play for a while."

"Great! ...Speaking of which, Miss Gan Yu really has good luck with cards."

"Maybe they're just lucky with their divine beasts."

"Next time we can take her to the jadeite shop and have her help us choose two stones; they're sure to yield some good jade!"

"good idea."

"Boss, Ms. Shen He, do your clothes fit you well?"
