I'm a male god in Liyue

While eating breakfast, Diona looked at the dark, unappetizing things in her bowl and asked hesitantly, "What is this?"

"preserved egg!"

"What kind of bird lays century eggs?"

"It's just a duck egg, but it's been pickled for a while."

"It smells really strange."

"That's how century eggs are. You might not be used to it the first time you try it, but why don't you give it a try... how does it feel?"

"is acceptable."

"Let me tell you, chopped chili and preserved egg is also delicious, especially with rice! At noon..."

"That dish is too spicy and stimulating, Zhu Zi, you can't eat it for the next couple of days."

"..."

Zhu Zi lowered his head, looking aggrieved.

When the store opened in the morning, Xia Zhi noticed that most of the customers were dressed in Mondstadt-style clothing.

They all seemed to know Diona, and greeted her with smiles.

"Miss Diona, what brings you to work at this store?"

"Of course I'm at work!"

"Could I have a drink made with rainbow juice?"

"Don't even think about it! You bunch of drunkards... This is the rainbow juice you ordered, it's 400 moras in total."

The guests paid with smiles, eagerly picked up their glasses, took a sip, and looked completely satisfied.

"How about it?"

"It tastes great, even better than wine!"

The guests took a couple more sips and noticed that Diona was still standing by the table watching them, which seemed a bit odd.

"Miss Diona, is there anything else?"

"I'd like to ask, when are you going back to Mondstadt?"

"Let's wait a few days. We've come all this way to Liyue, so we should at least explore a bit. Besides, we haven't had enough of the rainbow juice yet."

"So you're coming again tomorrow, right?"

"of course."

"I would like to issue you a commission."

"Commission?"

"Yes, please send a letter to Qingquan Town for me. Tell my father that I am working here now and doing well, so that he will not worry."

"That's no problem. We can go back to Clear Spring Town along the way. But even the smallest adventurer's request must be paid."

"Okay! I'll pay for your travel expenses!"

Xia Zhi overheard Diona's conversation with the Mondstadt adventurers and nodded to himself, thinking that the cat was quite sensible.

Chapter 170 The Miraculous Healer, Doctor Xia

Around noon, Dr. Bai Shu from Bubulu arrived.

When Xia Zhi asked Qi Qi to bring the juice over, he told her to ask him to stay for lunch.

Bai Shu was a little surprised by this. He looked up at Xia Zhi behind the table and replied gently, "Okay, then I'll take care of you."

Qiqi took the money and turned to get busy.

Bai Zhu picked up a glass of juice, sipping it slowly while observing Miss Zhu Zi not far away.

The prescription that Miss Shenhe brought to pick medicine the day before yesterday was for Miss Zhuzi's stomachache. The combination of ingredients was exquisite. He had been pondering it in his mind for the past two days and had learned a lot from it.

Five doses of the medicine were prepared, and Miss Zhu should have already drunk two doses.

Based on visual diagnosis, she is currently in good health, only slightly deficient in qi and blood, and shows no signs of poisoning.

This is sufficient to prove that the actual effect of that prescription is the same as the theoretical prediction.

Bai Shu silently withdrew her gaze.

After the morning business hours ended, Xia Zhi came over to greet Bai Shu and asked if he had any dietary restrictions.

Bai Zhu smiled gently and said no.

Xia Zhi nodded and went into the kitchen to cook.

In addition to the usual meat and vegetable dishes, he specially cooked a pot of lotus seed and red date porridge.

After the porridge was cooked, he took out the bottle of [White Jade Honey] and poured a drop into it. This item, which contains a unique life force, sells for 70 points in the [Shop]. A small bottle contains about 70 drops, so one drop is roughly worth 1 point.

As the golden honey syrup was stirred, it slowly seeped into the porridge, and a rich, sweet floral fragrance gradually mingled with the rising steam.

The dishes were all served and everyone took their seats. Since Miss Akabane couldn't show up, Xia Zhi left a portion for her in the kitchen.

"Please forgive my simple meal, Dr. Baizhu."

"I've bothered you."

"Boss, why did you cook porridge?"

"I specially prepared medicinal cuisine for you, remember to drink plenty of it."

"Oh, thank you, boss! This porridge smells so good!"

"Dr. Baizhu, please also try this lotus seed and red date porridge and give me your pharmacological opinions."

"I wouldn't dare. Mr. Xia's medical skills are superb; I can only dream of matching them..."

"I only have a slight understanding of poisons; compared to that, my medical skills are far inferior."

After all, one is at the Grandmaster level and the other at the Master level; they are indeed far apart.

Xia Zhi served a bowl of lotus seed porridge to Bai Zhu.

Bai Shu took the spoonful with both hands, and as soon as he drank it, he felt a huge surge of vitality flow into his body.

At the same time, Changsheng, who had a symbiotic contract with Baizhu, also sensed this aura of [vitality].

What on earth is in this porridge?!

Although I couldn't understand what was going on between the man and the snake, I was deeply shocked.

Xia Zhi asked him, "How are you feeling, Doctor Bai Shu?"

"This is a very nourishing medicinal porridge. I wonder what medicinal herbs Mr. Xia added to it?"

"Lotus seeds, japonica rice, red dates, lily bulbs, and Job's tears, that's all."

"What is this floral scent?"

"It's just a bottle of ordinary honey that I brought from my hometown."

"..."

"Zhu Zi, your constitution isn't strong, so this kind of nourishing porridge is suitable for you. I heard from Qi Qi that Doctor Bai Zhu often coughs and seems to be in poor health. If you like it, you might as well drink more of this porridge."

"Thank you, Mr. Xia."

After finishing the two bowls of porridge, Bai Zhu discovered that the vitality that had been depleted in her body over the years had almost been restored.

This solved half of the problem that had been troubling him for so long, leaving only the toxins and disease in his body.

And Mr. Xia in front of us happens to have quite a bit of insight into poisons...

Bai Zhu ate his meal while thinking about something in his mind.

Although the other dishes did not have the same magical nourishing effects as lotus seed porridge, they tasted the best he had ever eaten in his life, which whetted his appetite.

Xia Zhi was also observing Bai Zhu from a god-like perspective at this moment.

He noticed that Bai Shu's complexion was improving significantly, and Chang Sheng's body, which was wrapped around his neck, seemed to have grown a little longer.

Xia Zhi was a little surprised.

Changsheng regained some of its original power through its symbiotic contract with Baizhu.

Xia Zhi stared at the silver progress bar on Bai Shu's body and fell into deep thought.

Guoba's progress bar is gold. If Changsheng's power were to recover further, reaching Guoba's level, would Baishu's progress bar change from silver to gold?

If he had already filled up Bai Shu's silver progress bar before this, would a gold progress bar appear on Bai Shu's body at that time?

Xia Zhi glanced again at Miss Chi Yu, who was cooking alone in the kitchen.

Originally, Miss Akabane had no progress bar. It wasn't until she inhaled the [Soothing Incense] several times and regained her original consciousness and memories that a golden progress bar suddenly appeared on her body.
