Zhuzi walked forward, reached out and patted Qiqi's shoulder gently: "Hello? Are you here to see Mr. Xia Zhi?"

Qiqi turned around with a confused look on her face: "Um, Xia Zhi, sir?"

"Don't you know Mr. Xia Zhi? Then why are you standing in front of our store?"

"Your store?"

"Yes, it's a summer shop, but it hasn't officially opened yet."

"I don't know, it smells so good inside."

"It smells good? It smells good? Are you talking about the smell of incense?"

"Incense, what is it?"

"Huh? Incense is just..."

Zhu Zi looked at Qi Qi's confused look and couldn't communicate anymore. She felt that this girl was so cute and cute. Could it be that she got lost from a nearby family?

So she bent down and asked softly: "What's your name?"

"My name is Qiqi."

"where do you live?"

"Bubu Lu, collecting herbs."

Zhuzi knew Bu Bu Lu, which was the most famous medicine house in Liyue.

She glanced at the medicine basket on Qiqi's back, which was indeed filled with fresh herbs.

This should be true.

Zhuzi turned around and reported, "Boss, it's a girl. She said her name is Qiqi, and she's an herb collector from Bubulu. She seems to have been attracted by the incense in our store."

Xia Zhi nodded and said, "Well, I have been to Bu Bu Lu and I know that there is a herb picking apprentice named Qiqi in Bu Bu Lu. It should be her."

"I haven't been to Bubulu yet."

"It's a good thing you haven't been there. It means you are in good health. People who go to Bubulu are sick and seek medical treatment."

"Oh yes."

"Open the door quickly."

"okay."

Zhuzi took out the key and unlocked the store door.

As soon as the door was opened, the full smell of incense in the room immediately rushed in, as if it had found a vent, making people feel as if they were suddenly drawn into a whirlpool of aroma.

It is strong but not greasy, elegant and refreshing, and it also has a strange power to calm the mind.

Qiqi raised her little face and breathed in the scent of incense greedily.

Zhuzi couldn't help but take a few more breaths, feeling that her mind seemed to become clearer.

Xia Zhi lowered his head and said softly: "Since Miss Qiqi likes the smell of incense in our store, why not come in and sit for a while?"

Qiqi turned her head and looked at him quietly, as if she was sizing him up, but also seemed to be hesitating.

After a moment, she nodded slightly: "Okay."

Walking into the store together, Qiqi carefully took off the medicine basket on her back and placed it on the ground. Then she walked to the table with the incense burner, stood on tiptoes and got close to the incense burner, closing her eyes and breathing from The aroma wafting from the stove.

It seems that she really likes the smell of [soothing incense].

Xia Zhi "watched" this scene and couldn't help but think of the description of the effect of [Soothing Incense].

It can soothe people's hearts and please ghosts and gods.

Qiqi is a zombie and should be considered a kind of ghost.

Since she likes it so much, it's easy to brush up on her progress.

Zhu Zi very wisely went to make a pot of hot tea, poured a cup for Qiqi, and poured a cup for the boss.

Qiqi held the cup and frowned slightly, but did not drink.

Xia Zhi said softly: "The tea in the store is not good, please don't take offense to Miss Qiqi."

Qiqi shook her head and whispered: "No, tea, it's hot. Qiqi doesn't like it."

hot?

Does it mean that the tea has just been brewed and the temperature is too high?

Xia Zhi was stunned and said, "That's right."

Qiqi probably felt that it was rude not to drink tea. The Eye of God embedded in the hat flickered slightly, and the slightest trace of heat that was rising in the cup in her hand disappeared in an instant.

She picked up the cup and took a sip. There was still no expression on her face, as if the tea she had just drank had no taste.

Then she put down the cup and continued to breathe in the scent of incense wafting from the incense burner.

Xia Zhi looked at the [1%] progress bar on her body and said: "Although our store has not officially opened yet, since Miss Qiqi has come in, she is also the first customer in our store. Why don't I invite Qi Qi?" Miss Qi, let’s have a drink of the special drink that will be sold in our store.”

Qiqi tilted her head cutely: "Drink?"

"Does Miss Qiqi like to drink?"

"Like it, coconut milk."

"Coconut milk, I like it too, but the one we sell in our store is not coconut milk."

Xia Zhi smiled and said to Zhuzi, "Zhuzi, go wash some cups and come over."

"Okay, boss!"

Xia Zhi stood up, walked to the table, and took out a bottle.

This bottle contains the diluted fruit pulp he took from water tank No. [-].

Zhuzi happily ran to the kitchen, washed the cups and brought them over, then stood by and looked at Xia Zhi intently.

Although she has signed a contract with Xia Zhi and became a waiter in this store, she has not seen what the special drinks sold in the store look like. She is really curious about how the boss prepares the drinks.

Xia Zhi took three cups, poured cool water into them, and then added a drop of fruit pulp from the bottle into each cup.

The clear water magically turned into seven colors, exuding an alluring light fruity fragrance. The light softly shone on the mouth of the cup, and a faint rainbow could be seen vaguely.

Zhuzi was stunned: "Boss, is this done?"

"It's done. This is our store's specialty drink, rainbow juice."

Xia Zhi pushed the two cups over.

"Send a cup to Miss Qiqi. This cup is for you. Try it."

"it is good!"

Zhuzi brought a cup to Qi Qi and held another cup in her arms. First, she admired the colorful juice in the cup in surprise for a while, then cautiously leaned over and took a sip.

It feels like there are countless kinds of fruits exploding in the mouth, and the different flavors blend together to produce various dreamlike changes.

Zhuzi couldn't help but squint his eyes and was reluctant to swallow it: "It tastes so good!"

Xia Zhi smiled and looked at Qiqi on the other side.

Qiqi was also picking up the cup and taking a sip, but the expression on her face remained unchanged.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but ask: "Miss Qiqi, what do you think the rainbow juice in our store tastes like?"

Qiqi pursed her lips and said seriously: "It's cool, I like it very much. Although it has no taste..."

Xia Zhi fell into silence.

Chapter 40 Qiqi’s Notes

"Qiqi, it's a zombie. No matter what you eat, it has no taste."

Qiqi probably saw the confusion in Xia Zhi's silence and explained in a low voice.

Then, she stared at Xia Zhi quietly, as if she wanted to see how Mr. Xia Zhi, who kindly invited her to sit with him and invited her to drink tea and drinks, would react after knowing that she was an inhuman zombie.

Hearing this, Xia Zhi didn't show any panic or disgust on his face. He just nodded with some realization and said softly: "I see. I was originally worried that Miss Qiqi didn't like my drinks."

This person seems different from others...

Qiqi shook her head and whispered: "No."

She looked down at the juice in the cup in her hand. The colorful colors were like a dream, and when she shook it slightly, colorful ripples appeared in circles.

"The drink is very beautiful, I like it."

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Qiqi, for your compliment."

He glanced at Zhuzi next to him again. The girl was sipping the rainbow juice in the cup with squinted eyes. She seemed to be immersed in the taste world of Baiguo and couldn't extricate herself.

Xia Zhi picked up the cup and took a sip.

It was obviously the second time he drank rainbow juice, but the taste of rainbow juice this time was completely different from the last time.

The combination of countless fruit flavors is truly ever-changing.

In a sense, the taste of every glass of rainbow juice he creates will be unique.

Even the taste of each bite will be unique.

It's a pity that even though there are thousands of flavors in front of her, this cute girl can't enjoy any of them...

Xia Zhi drank a few sips of juice quietly before asking, "Did Miss Qiqi just come back from collecting herbs?"

"Yes."

"Are you going to the mountains to collect medicine so early?"

"I'm going in the evening."

"Is it so hard to do things at night?"

"Hot during the day, like, at night."

"That's right."

"Is Miss Qiqi now working as an apprentice in Bubulu's herb collection?"

"Yes."

"Do you have to go to the mountains every night to collect medicine?"

"Every few days."

"What does Miss Qiqi eat every day?"

"Coconut milk."

"It doesn't smell right?"

"Well, it's cool."

"I see, Miss Qiqi likes cold things."

……

Xia Zhi chatted with Qi Qi, brushing her progress bar while getting information related to her.

Slowly, the incense on the table burned out.

Qiqi looked at the incense burner that no longer had smoke, with some reluctance and confusion in her eyes. She turned her head to look at Xia Zhi and whispered, "No more."

Xia Zhi nodded and said, "Well, it's finished burning."

"Is it done?"

"Does Miss Qiqi like this kind of incense so much?"

"I like it, it smells good."

"Then Miss Qiqi, please come over to my place tomorrow. I will light incense again tomorrow."

"tomorrow……"

Qiqi thought carefully and nodded.

"it is good."
