I'm a male god in Liyue

"Mr. Xia, you've arrived."

"Good morning, both of you."

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's all go inside and have a seat."

"it is good."

The Mingxia Floating Stone had already floated up, but it was tied to the ground with iron chains. Everyone climbed up and entered a clean little wooden house.

"I'm sorry, the environment here is simple, please forgive me."

“Oh, Miss Keqing, why are you saying such things? I should be the one apologizing. It’s all because of my request that you two have stayed in such a simple place for so many days.”

"Haha, I'm already used to it. As a member of the Jade Balance Star, I'm used to living on construction sites all the time, mainly because of Mr. Zhongli..."

Zhongli shook his head and said calmly, "It's alright for me. Compared to before, the conditions here are quite good."

Xia Ci and Xia Zhen glanced at him. Only they knew that the "past" he was referring to was actually a long, long time ago, when the newly established Liyue City was indeed in a very harsh environment.

Xia Zhi took out the rice cakes she had brought: "These are rice cakes we just made this morning. Since we were coming here today, I made a few extra so you could try them too."

"Thank you, Mr. Xia."

After drinking tea and chatting for a while in the cabin, Xia Zhi roughly learned about the construction progress and suggested going for a walk on the construction site.

Along the way, many workers greeted Xiangling.

Chef Xiangling is back!

"Are we having fried rice with eggs again for lunch today?!"

"We've been craving food these past few days since you weren't cooking at the construction site!"

"Exactly! Without fried rice, I don't have the same energy to work as before!"

"I was dreaming about eating the egg fried rice you made last night!"

"Chef Xiangling! My brother fell off the shelf yesterday and was seriously injured. Before he died, all he wanted was a bowl of fried rice with eggs!"

……

Xia Zhi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The scene before me was strikingly similar to when the shop first opened in the summer.

He recalled that some customers in the queue said that their friends had terminal illnesses and wanted to drink a glass of rainbow juice before they died.

The people of Liyue are so witty.

Xiangling blushed more and more as she listened: "Master..."

Xia Zhi waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. A good dish is one that brings happiness to people. Xiang Ling, I'm very pleased that you can do that."

Xiangling nodded and smiled, "Master, they are actually quite nice people. When I was making innovative dishes before, they helped me a lot by tasting them."

Xia Zhi couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic: "Well... since they're so enthusiastic, let's cook them a nice meal for lunch."

Xiangling was taken aback: "Us? Master, are you going to make a move too?"

"Of course, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, they didn't rest and were still working hard for us, so we should express our gratitude."

"Ok!"

"Then let's go back first. There are so many people to eat, the kitchen should be preparing food by now, right?"

Ke Qing nodded quickly: "Yes! I'll take Mr. Xia there right away!"

That's fantastic!

I can eat Mr. Xia's cooking again!

The other girls were also very understanding: "Boss, let us help too."

"You help me with other things."

"Something else?"

"Shen He, bring out those red papers."

"Ok."

Shen He took out several stacks of red paper from his spatial ring.

The girls stared in surprise.

Xia Ci seemed to understand and asked, "Cousin, is this a red envelope?"

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "My cousin understands me best. Everyone has worked hard to build the school. As the principal, I'm going to give everyone a New Year's red envelope."

Ke Qing paused for a moment, then said, "Thank you, Mr. Xia."

"Miss Keqing, there's no need for this. It's not much money, just a small token of my appreciation."

"We should also express our gratitude."

Ying'er asked, "Boss, how many should we order?"

"Let's follow the standard that Ms. Ningguang gives to civil servants, let's give them three thousand."

Ke Qing looked completely bewildered.

Is this what you mean by not having much money?

Xia Zhi paused for a moment, then said, "Remember to book a large room separately for Miss Ke Qing and Mr. Zhong Li."

"understood!"

Ke Qing quickly waved her hand again: "I don't need it!"

"Hey, please accept this. I know Miss Keqing comes from a prestigious family and wouldn't care about this little bit of money, but it's just a small token of my appreciation."

"……All right."

Just then, Yao Yao, who was looking through binoculars, suddenly exclaimed, "Big brother, I see a huge cherry blossom tree!"

Xia Zhen looked puzzled: "What? A cherry blossom tree?"

Chapter 351 You Think You're So Great Because You're So High and Mighty (4K)

Xia Zhen couldn't help but look at Yao Yao and realized that she was facing Inazuma across the sea.

"Sister Zhu Zi, is this the sacred cherry tree in Inazuma that you mentioned?"

"Let me take a look."

"for you."

Zhu Zi took the binoculars from Yao Yao and looked curiously into the distance.

Sure enough, she saw the familiar cherry blossom trees from her hometown through the lenses.

"Wow, it really is! I can even see the silhouette of Narukami Shrine! Yao Yao, your binoculars can see so far!"

"You can actually see Inazuma's appearance in Liyue?"

"Hmm! But it's not very clear; you can only vaguely see the shadows of cherry trees and shrines."

"That's pretty awesome!"

"It's mainly because of the high altitude here; we're still standing on the Mingxia Floating Stone."

"Makes sense!"

"I want to see it too!"

"for you."

Then the telescope was passed around among everyone, allowing them to feast their eyes and satisfy their curiosity.

After all, most people here have never been to Inazuma and are very interested in that huge cherry blossom tree.

"That tree really does look like a fox."

"right."

"It's so beautiful."

"Are those cherry blossoms falling from above the same cherry blossom mochi we ate last time?"

"Yes!"

……

The telescope eventually ended up in Xia Zhen's hands.

She held it, gazing at her distant hometown, and only put it down after a long while, her expression slightly strange.

"Sister Xia Zhen, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Actually, I've been to Inazuma before..."

"is it?"

"But that was a long time ago, and it still feels a bit unfamiliar now."

"I haven't seen it for only half a year, but I already feel a little nostalgic!"
