Looking at the expressions of novelty and joy on the faces of the guests, Xia Zhi felt that this idea was indeed feasible.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhongli Keqing came to the store alone.

Of course, the boss doesn't have to wait for a table, he can just ask for a seat in the back hall.

Xia Zhi made a cup of special rainbow juice and asked Zhu Zi to send it over.

Zhongli took the juice and said calmly: "Miss Zhuzi, I forgot to bring the money. Please put this glass of juice on the account of the Hall of Life."

"Ah, okay, Mr. Zhongli, please use it slowly."

Ten minutes later, Zhongli walked out of the back hall, said hello to Xia Zhi, and left calmly.

Xia Zhi saw that the progress bar on him increased by [1%] and became [16%].

Very good, I hope this big boss can take care of the business of the store every day.

It doesn't matter whether he keeps accounts or not. Xia Zhi mainly wants to make friends with him. After all, everyone is a god.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the afternoon business ended on time.

After sending away the customers in the store, Xia Zhi and Zhu Zi sat and rested for a while.

"Zhuzi, do you still have the red paper you bought last time?"

"some."

"You go and get it, and we'll write down the business hours and post it outside the store to tell customers that the store will be closed tomorrow, so they don't have to wait in line outside the store in the morning."

"Okay, boss."

Zhuzi nodded, ran to get red paper and pen, then cleared a table, threw the red paper on the table, and pressed the edge of the paper with a cup.

"Boss, how do you write it?"

"[Our normal business hours]"

"【Monday to Friday】"

"[Morning: nine to twelve o'clock]"

"[Afternoon: two to six o'clock]"

"Boss, is there any more?"

"Let me think about it... add another [holiday period]. Forget it, I won't add this one. We will write a separate notice on the day of Zhuyue Festival."

"Boss, aren't we also open during the Zhuyue Festival?"

"It's the festival. Let's go have some fun. What kind of class do we have to go to?"

"Wow, great, boss, I've written it."

"Well, let's let it dry for now. Remember to ask Xiangling for some rice cereal tonight."

"Ok!"

"Is there any more red paper?"

"some."

"Then write another one."

"it is good."

Zhuzi cleaned up another table and laid out the red paper.

"Boss, what are you writing?"

“It’s time to celebrate the festival, so I’ll write two poems about my hometown.”

"verse?"

"It's almost the same as your rice wife's haiku."

"Oh!"

"Just write "The bright moon rises on the sea, and we share this moment even though we are at the end of the world"."

"boss……"

"what happened?"

"There is a word I can't write..."

Xia Zhi thought for a while and said, "Give me the brush, I'll write it."

"Boss, can you write?"

"Ah."

Zhuzi handed him the pen doubtfully.

Liyue's writing is somewhat like the small seal script of the original world.

Xia Zhi lowered his head and slowly wrote these words on the paper.

Neat, confrontation.

Zhuzi was stunned.

"Boss, how did you do it?"

"It's almost like writing with your eyes closed."

"I wouldn't be able to write so well if I closed my eyes."

"It's just a matter of practice."

Zhu Zi was slightly startled when he heard this.

The boss was probably not born blind. He must have been very unhappy after losing his sight, so he practiced calligraphy secretly.

She didn't know how long it would take a blind person to practice before he could write like a normal person, but she thought it wouldn't be easy.

Seeing the boss's casual expression, Zhuzi couldn't help but recall the hard work of him practicing calligraphy alone in his room.

"Let's put these words up in the store."

"Oh well."

Zhuzi looked at the words on the table. Although it was not particularly beautiful, who else but himself knew how much sweat had been soaked behind it?

She suddenly felt something bad in her heart.

into the night.

Zhuzi finished washing the two people's clothes and hung them to dry on the bamboo pole at the back of the store. Then he came to the front of the store with a four-way lamp, made sure that the store door was locked, and then walked quietly upstairs.

Go back to your room and close the door without locking it.

Zhuzi walked to the bed first, clasped her hands in front of the imperial guard hanging on the bed, and bowed devoutly. Then she sat down at the table, took out a piece of white paper, and began to write a letter seriously.

"Dear Mom and Dad..."

"...I am now in Liyue and have found a great job. I am happy every day. You don't have to worry about me..."

"...Mr. Xia Zhi is a very good person..."

"...It will be the Moon-Chasing Festival in Liyue soon. The city is so lively these days. I miss you a little, and I also want to eat the Feiying cake made by my mother..."

"...I won't come back for the time being, maybe until next spring..."

After writing the letter, Zhuzi carefully folded it, stuffed it into the prepared envelope, and placed it on the table.

Turning off the four-way lamp and climbing into bed, Zhuzi hugged the soft pillow and looked at the darkness in front of her, suddenly thinking of her boss.

The scene he faces every day should be the same as himself at this time, right?

Zhuzi opened his eyes and stared at the darkness for a while, then changed his sleeping position.

The somewhat tired body stretched out in the posture with big characters spread out, feeling very comfortable.

Especially my legs, which were a little sore from standing for too long, relaxed again after taking a hot bath.

Zhuzi was lying on the bed, feeling that her body had become lazy.

When I thought about the store being closed tomorrow and not having to get up early, I didn't want to move at all.

awesome.

Five days a week, two days off, nine to six, food and accommodation included.

You can drink juice as you like, order clothes as you like, and the boss will even massage your feet himself...

When she thought of the massage, the pleasant feeling in her memory began to attack her again.

Zhuzi couldn't help but pinch her legs, then blushed and hugged the soft pillow in her arms tightly.

It's midnight, the dew is heavy, and it's just the right time to pick herbs.

Carrying the medicine basket on her back, Qiqi walked out of Bubu Lu alone and walked towards the outside of the city.

Passing through the lotus pond is Feiyun Slope.

The shops on both sides of the street had their doors closed and seemed quiet, completely different from the hustle and bustle during the day.

Qiqi didn't care at all, just lowered his head and hurried on.

She didn't slow down until she reached the end of Feiyun Slope, stopped in front of the store, and carefully read the business hours posted on the door twice.

Then, she raised her head again and looked at the room upstairs.

It was pitch dark inside the window. I think Mr. Xia must have taken a rest.

Qi Qi retracted her gaze, no longer stopping, and walked quickly through the boundary of the Rebirth Hall.

The petite figure gradually faded away.

--

Under the eaves of the Hall of Rebirth, Hu Tao walked out of the darkness and stared at Qiqi's back quietly.

She couldn't help but think of the story of the "herb-picking girl Qiqi" she learned from Grandma Ping this afternoon.

"Is it immortality..."

She frowned slightly, and the expression on her face became a little uncertain.

Akabane suddenly appeared behind her and asked softly: "Are you in trouble?"

"Ah."

"Although our Rebirth Hall is responsible for dividing the boundaries between life and death, sometimes we don't necessarily have to make such a clear distinction."

"Sister Akabane, what do you mean?"

"Just like myself, do you think I am alive or dead now? If I am a living person, I have no body. If I am a dead person, the border does not accept me. In the final analysis, the little girl named Qiqi and I It’s the same, it’s just a once-in-a-lifetime exception.”

"Is it a fairy tale?"

"Yes, Xianyuan..."

"Do you really want this kind of immortality, Sister Akabane?"

"It doesn't matter anymore. I'm satisfied if I can always watch the Hall of Rebirth in secret."

"...I understand, then I don't care about Qiqi."

--

At the table.

Xia Zhi took out the [Blazing Incense Burner], used up all the remaining ingredients from this morning, and made 8 more [Happy Incense].

After recycling them, his points have become 19 points.

Xia Zhi opened the character information and took a look. His mental value dropped by 40 points.

He began to feel a hint of fatigue creeping over him.

That's almost it. That's it for tonight's refining. If he continues to consume it, he's probably going to be like last night, falling asleep as soon as his head hits the bed.
