Ke Qing was making a vow in her heart when she suddenly heard Zhong Li's voice behind her.
She turned around and saw Zhong Li walking towards her with design drawings in his hand.
"Mr. Zhongli, what is it?"
"I just inspected the site and found that the details in this area can be improved."
"Oh?"
"look……"
Zhongli pointed to a certain spot on the drawing and explained it to Keqing.
After a moment, Keqing nodded: "It can indeed be optimized, so let's proceed with the optimized plan."
This decision could have been made that way, but this design was, after all, designed by the former Grass God.
That's the goddess of wisdom; she always strives for perfection, so such a small flaw shouldn't exist.
Given that former colleague's current personality, Zhong Li wasn't sure if this was a flaw she had intentionally left behind.
He thought about it and decided it was best to ask for her opinion first. He wasn't afraid that she would cause him trouble later.
"Miss Keqing."
"Ok?"
"If we're going to optimize this area, there are a lot of things that need to be changed. We'd better talk to Ms. Xia Ci, since she's the chief designer."
"Hmm...you have a point, but she's not here right now."
"Liyue City isn't far from here. If we send someone back now, they should be able to get there by lunchtime."
"Well……"
lunch?
Ke Qing's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Lunch and such didn't really matter; the main thing was that only she and Zhongli were familiar with this design at the moment, and she was worried that if she sent other people back, they wouldn't be able to convey the message clearly.
Ke Qing's expression suddenly turned serious.
"In that case, I'll go back and talk to Xia Ci myself."
Chapter 315 The Deliveryman from Inazuma (4K)
After buying some ingredients from the market, Xia Zhi went into the kitchen and started making the red oil hot pot base. He also cooked a pot of beef soup, fish soup, and chicken soup on the stove next to him.
With so many people in the family, one beef hot pot is definitely not enough. It would be good to also make sour fish soup and mushroom chicken to enrich the flavor.
"Cousin, the mushrooms are here." Xia Ci went to her room and brought back some ingredients from the Chen Ge Pot. "And beans too."
It's [large tuna belly soybeans], a type of ingredient that's frequently used in our homes, and she's already growing them in bulk.
"Go wash them all. Set the mushrooms aside for now. Grind the beans into a paste."
"I want to eat bean curd sheets!"
"Okay, I'll do it... Oh, right, Qiqi!"
"boss?"
"Since you're free now, go to Yuehai Pavilion and ask Yao Yao to come over for hot pot at noon. Also, ask Grandma Ping and those two True Lords if they're free. If they are, invite them over for a meal too."
"Ok."
Qiqi nodded and went out.
Xia Zhi turned around and asked again.
"Miss Akabane, is Master Hu home?"
"Yes, but she probably hasn't gotten up yet."
"Her sleep schedule is a bit messed up..."
"Haha, there's nothing we can do. People at the Rebirth Hall usually work at night, unlike our shop."
"Go back and invite her over for hot pot later."
"thank you boss!"
"It's alright, hot pot is more lively with lots of people. Diona, go mix a few bottles of liquor, but not too strong."
"Good boss!"
The soup in the pot simmered until it became increasingly thick and white.
Xia Zhi took out various spices and began to season the soup base.
As the ladle was stirred back and forth, the aroma emanating from the soup gradually became richer and more enticing.
Xia Zhi scooped out a small bowl for everyone to try.
"Come and taste it for me."
"Ah."
Is the beef soup spicy?
"Hiss, ha, not spicy!"
"What about the mushroom and chicken soup?"
"Very fresh!"
"What about the sour fish soup?"
"Just right."
Xia Zhi nodded, but didn't add any more ingredients to the soup.
With his culinary skills, there was no need for a tasting; it was just to satisfy their cravings.
"Summer shop, found!"
Diona's cat, Dolphin, suddenly stirred slightly, as if she had heard a sound. She turned her head to look towards the direction outside the kitchen.
Then, everyone heard a polite knock on the door outside the shop, asking questions.
"Hello! Is anyone in the store right now?"
"I'm coming!"
Diona put down the small bowl in her hand and immediately ran out.
Upon opening the store door, Diona saw a sweetly dressed young girl standing at the entrance, with a large, unidentified package at her feet.
Why! ?
The two faced each other and were taken aback when they discovered that the other also had cat ears and a cat tail.
Diona tilted her head and widened her eyes.
"I...I...I can't believe my eyes, can I?! This lady...you have two tails?"
"Oh, you read that right, there are two lines. Little sister, would you like to touch them?"
"Wow... will the forked parts hurt? Which side grows first? What if they all grow together uncontrollably while I'm sleeping?"
"Ah, well..."
"Is it hard to answer? I've never seen a person with two tails before!"
"Little sister, don't worry, I think you'll grow two tails soon too!"
"Huh? I... I can grow two tails too?"
"Hmm! Little sister, you're a yokai too, right? You can already transform into a human, so your yokai power must be very strong. I also grew an extra tail without realizing it while climbing a tree, and people call me... a cat demon?"
"A monster? A cat demon? Oh no, no, sister, you've misunderstood. These ears and tail are symbols of our [Kertsline] family bloodline."
"Oh? So you're not a youkai from Liyue?"
"No, no! I'm actually from Mondstadt. Oh, by the way, sister, what brings you here?"
"I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Kira, a courier from the Inazuma multinational logistics company [Komahaya]. I'm here to deliver a package to Ms. Chizuko from Summer Shop. Is she here?"
"Here I am!"
Diona turned around and called into the store.
"Senior Zhu Zi! Your package!"
"Oh!"
Zhu Zi responded and ran out.
Qi Liangliang looked at her and said, "Hello, I need to verify your identity."
"Oh! Please wait a moment, I'll go get my identification."
Zhu Zi hurriedly ran upstairs to her room.
