The chicken is free-range chicken that hasn't been fed feed, the oil is rapeseed oil that hasn't been sprayed with pesticides, and the seasoning is a fried chicken seasoning that Xia Zhi specially improved, with the addition of [Melker Star Powder].
Combined with the culinary master's techniques, and the hidden effects of the Shadow Gloves and the Way of the Underworld Chef, this is even more impressive.
A delicious bucket of fried chicken from another world is ready.
Xia Zhi made a large plate of fries and a large portion of ketchup, and asked Zhu Zi and Shen He to help carry the food out. Then he reached out and gently tapped the wall.
Miss Akabane came upon hearing the sound.
"Mr. Xia was looking for me?"
"I just made fried chicken, Miss Akabane, please come and eat with us."
"Okay."
Because Miss Akabane is a ghost and it's inconvenient for her to appear in front of outsiders, everyone simply closed the shop door.
Xia Zhi reminded them, "They're all freshly fried, so be careful not to burn yourself. If you like ketchup, you can dip the fries in it, or you can eat them plain."
Shen He was the first to reach out and pick up a large chicken leg from the plate. Her Ice-type Divine Eyes lit up slightly, and the temperature of the chicken leg, which was originally very hot, immediately dropped. Then she handed the chicken leg to Yao Yao.
Yao Yao took it and sweetly said, "Thank you, Sister Shen He."
Shen He nodded and said softly, "Be careful not to get oil on your clothes."
Yao Yao obediently replied, "Mmm!"
Zhu Zi also took a chicken leg. She had been craving it since she smelled it while she was tending the fire. She couldn't wait to take a bite, panting as it burned her, but reluctant to spit it out: "Ooh...so hot...delicious..."
Qiqi glanced at Zhu Zi, her Ice-type Divine Eye lit up, and she silently cooled down the chicken leg in her hand before starting to eat it in small bites.
Xia Zhi smiled, took a French fry, and ate it with ketchup.
After everyone else had taken theirs, Akabane also took a chicken wing, and like Xia Zhi, dipped it in the red tomato sauce on the plate and put it in his mouth.
The sweet and sour sauce suited her taste perfectly, the fried skin was crispy but not greasy, and the tender and juicy chicken seemed to explode in her mouth, bringing her an ultimate sense of satisfaction.
Delicious! Fantastic! Fried chicken is the best in the world!
Miss Akabane's soul turned slightly red from excitement.
Fortunately, everyone except Xia Zhi was focused on enjoying the food and didn't notice her lapse in composure.
Zhu Zi suddenly turned to look at Qi Qi.
"Qiqi, aren't you going to gather herbs tonight?"
"No, I'll rest."
"Yay! We can play mahjong again tonight!"
"it is good."
"The bed upstairs is still made up. You don't have to go back to Bubulu tonight; you can sleep here with us."
"Ah."
There was a hint of anticipation in Qiqi's eyes.
She enjoys playing mahjong with everyone; it makes her very happy.
Akabane listened with some confusion.
Who is Mahjong? Why do you play it?
Zhu Zi immediately began to explain to her in a teacherly manner, and Chi Yu's eyes slowly began to light up as she listened.
This mahjong game sounds pretty fun?
So after dinner, instead of going for a walk, everyone closed the door and started playing mahjong.
Xia Zhi, Zhu Zi, Shen He, and Qi Qi fought together.
Chi Yu floated behind Xia Zhi, watching and learning with great interest.
Xia Zhi played a few rounds, and seeing that she really wanted to play, he smiled and got up to let her play.
It's quite amusing to see four mahjong beginners playing against each other like complete noobs.
With nothing else to do, Xia Zhi went and made a few more glasses of juice and brought them over.
This was the first time Akabane had ever tasted the juice at the shop, and he was amazed.
Delicious! Fantastic! This juice is the best in the world!
They played until late at night before reluctantly stopping.
Chiyu returned to the Hall of Rebirth, Zhu Zi went into the kitchen to boil water, and Qi Qi took out a small package containing a change of clothes that she had brought from Bu Bu Lu.
She learned from her experience the day before yesterday when she forgot to bring her clothes and couldn't take a shower.
Xia Zhi glanced at the clothes she brought; they were very clean, but looked somewhat worn.
He couldn't help but think of Qiqi's wallet again.
He felt that the girl was being a little too frugal, looking at the small cloth bag she kept close to her body.
What girl doesn't need one or two pretty new clothes?
Now that Qiqi is an employee in his shop, she should have an employee uniform, as should Yaoyao. It just so happens that the day after tomorrow is Saturday, so he can take the two of them to the tailor shop in Huyan to order a few uniforms, some light ones to wear now and some thick ones to wear in winter.
After taking a shower, Xia Zhi returned to her room and smiled as she looked at the wall next to the Hall of Rebirth.
The female ghost has already eaten her fill tonight and shouldn't be coming over again, so he doesn't need to order the [Calming Incense], saving 1 point.
After completing my daily minimum living allowance tasks as usual, I went to bed.
When I woke up the next day, it was already Friday.
Since Miss Gan Yu will most likely come to the shop this afternoon to get to know Shen He better, Xia Zhi asked Zhu Zi to buy more vegetables when she went to the market this morning.
While making breakfast, Xia Zhi made an extra bowl of ramen and then knocked on the wall.
Miss Akabane came again upon hearing the sound, and said apologetically, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Natsu."
Xia Zhi smiled and shook his head, saying, "It would be better if Miss Chi Yu came over; the shop would be more lively."
He could "see" the barely concealed longing for food in Akabane's eyes, but given her personality, she certainly wouldn't be willing to openly say that she wanted to come over for a free meal, so he had to take the initiative to invite her.
After all, she was his first loyal reader, and he even got a golden treasure chest from her.
It's perfectly normal for him to spoil her a little.
Next spring, we'll all go on a trip to Mondstadt together, and I can ask her to watch the house for me then.
When the store opened in the morning, it was already past 11 o'clock.
Bai Zhu came to the shop again for a juice. Judging from the time, he must have just finished his morning consultations and rushed over from Bu Bu Lu.
Xia Zhi looked at the progress bar on him, which had turned into a silver bar of 5%, and seemed to be deep in thought.
When Atractylodes macrocephala first arrived at the store yesterday, the progress bar was at 1%.
He drank two glasses of juice in the store, and when he left, the progress bar had changed to [3%].
Xia Zhi remembered that yesterday afternoon, A Gui from Bubulu also came to the store and bought two cups of takeaway juice.
Therefore, it seems that Agui bought those two glasses of juice for Baizhu to drink, which would have just increased his progress bar from [3%] to [5%].
Is Atractylodes macrocephala using rainbow juice to replenish its own "vitality"?
The idea is indeed feasible.
However, this rainbow juice, which had been diluted three times, contained far too little "vitality." It would be just right for an ordinary person, but for his current physical condition, it was a drop in the ocean.
Unless Xia Zhi prepares a more concentrated rainbow juice for him.
Or, give him a drop of [white jade flower nectar].
But that would only help him restore the meager vitality in his body; it wouldn't help with the various toxins and diseases affecting his body.
Xia Zhi shook his head inwardly.
trouble.
Chapter 157 Is Senior Gan Yu in Love?
By the time Bai Zhu finished her first glass of juice, Xia Zhi's "learning from the master" technique had just cooled down.
He "looked" at Bai Shu, hesitated for a moment, and did not choose him, but instead chose Changsheng, who was wrapped around his neck.
The system notification sounded in his mind.
"Use [Learn from Others] on the target?"
Sure enough, even with a supernatural being like Changsheng, he could use his skills on it.
So it seems that crispy rice crust should also work.
When Xiangling returns from her travels, we can try making the rice crust.
Xia Zhi "looked" at Changsheng and made the decision.
