I'm a male god in Liyue

The two True Lords ate their golden fried rice with happy expressions.

This tastes much better than the breakfast that Ah Ping makes!

After breakfast, the two True Lords formally held an apprenticeship ceremony.

Xiangling was quite familiar with this ceremony, and at the end, she offered Xia Zhi a cup of tea.

Xia Zhi took the tea, took a sip, and that was considered his formal acceptance of her as his disciple.

Xia Ci took photos with great interest, holding a camera nearby.

Qi Qi stood to the side watching the entire apprenticeship process, a strange look flashing in her eyes.

She learned about herbs from the boss, so she was practically his apprentice, even though she was the one who started first...

Shen He's gaze was also a bit strange.

In her dream, she taught her boss how to use talismans, and he called her "Master."

Now that Xiangling calls the boss "Master," wouldn't that make her Xiangling's grandmaster?

Then wouldn't her master, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, be Xiangling's great-great-grandmaster?

And since Granny Ping is Xiangling's master, it seems that True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng is two generations higher than Granny Ping...

It's a bit confusing...

Let's all just call each other by our own names.

After the apprenticeship ceremony, the two True Lords slipped away.

Xiangling went to the kitchen to wash the dishes very sensibly.

Over the next two days, Xiangling shuttled between Wanmintang and Xiaji Xiaodian.

Xia Zhi's teaching method is also very simple.

"Your first task is to make a golden fried rice that I'm satisfied with."

Xiangling accepted the task with great enthusiasm.

Then, Wanmintang's menu suddenly added a special-priced dish these past two days—egg fried rice.

Thursday.

In the morning, as usual, Zhu Zi and Diona went out and bought a bunch of chicken.

In the morning, Xia Ci went out alone to Hanfeng Ironware, paid for the various parts she had ordered, and retrieved them. Afterward, she stayed in the back room alone, assembling the parts to create a somewhat bulky speaker tape recorder.

She tested it and felt the sound quality was pretty good.

Around noon, Ke Qing rushed over from the construction site.

"Is this the thing you were talking about before?"

"Yes, this thing will be installed in the places you mentioned last time. It can be used as a broadcasting system to transmit information or play music, which is great."

"how to use?"

"There's a polished electrical crystal in here, used for power supply. It needs to be recharged when it's used up. Since you happen to be the holder of the Lightning God's Eye, come on, help me recharge it."

"..."

Keqing took the device from her and charged it for a while as requested, until she heard it make a "beep beep" sound.

"Okay, this sound means it's fully charged."

"Oh."

"There's a button here. Just press it and talk to it."

"Let me try... Hello?"

The machine repeated, "Hello."

"It really is my voice..."

Ke Qing looked at it and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"I feel like this thing is quite useful..."

"Yes, it's just too bulky. I'll make some improvements later."

"Ah."

Since it was already noon, Keqing decided to stay and have lunch.

"Miss Keqing, have you finished the sauce you brought back last time?"

"We've already finished eating!"

"I made a few more bottles. If you like them, take some back with you?"

"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Xia!"

Ke Qing happily agreed.

During the meal, Xiangling suddenly sighed.

Zhu Zi asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just ran into a little trouble."

"trouble?"

"Well, I've been practicing making fried rice at home these past few days. The portion size is too big, and the guests can't finish it. Even if it's free, some guests still think it's too oily and would prefer plain rice, but I don't want to waste it..."

"This matter..."

"Sigh, if only there were a place like this where I could cook whatever I wanted, with lots of people, low expectations, and lots of big eaters, and some feedback too..."

Xiangling muttered to herself.

Ke Qing looked up and said involuntarily, "I know a place like this..."

"what?"

"That's how it is on our construction site..."

"!"

"There are so many workers, as long as they can eat their fill, that's fine. Forget about greasiness, we want it to be heavy on oil and salt. If you're cooking for one person, no matter how much you make, it should all be eaten..."

"!!"

Xiangling's eyes lit up.

This place is perfect for practicing cooking!

"If you want, I can take you in."

"Okay! I'll go back and pack the kitchenwares right away! Then I'll go to the construction site with you!"

"Um……"

Xiangling looked very motivated. "When I get back from the construction site, I'm determined to impress my master!"

Ke Qing was also satisfied. Great! She could finally eat a slightly better meal from the communal pot.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Everyone has a bright future!

Xia Zhi nodded and said, "If you're not in a hurry, Xiangling, you can leave later. Today is Thursday, and I'm going to make fried chicken this afternoon. You can stay and learn how."

"Oh, okay! Master! Miss Keqing, I'll go over later!"

Ke Qing's expression turned serious: "It's alright, I'll wait for you."

Whether or not she eats fried chicken doesn't matter; her main goal is to make more friends so that it's convenient to ask Xiangling for a private meal when she gets hungry at night.

in the afternoon.

Yun Jin came over.

As per their weekly appointment, she came to have Xia Zhi massage her legs.

As soon as Yun Jin entered the store, she heard Mr. Xia singing opera.

It's still "The Goddess Splits the Temple".

But this time, Mr. Xia's voice was much nicer than last time!

Yun Jin seemed to hear the sound of ocean waves in it.

She stood at the door and only went inside after the opera had finished.

"Mr. Xia sang so well!"

"Ms. Yun Jin is here. You flatter us. We are just recording."

"Oh? Recording?"

Yun Jin looked curiously at the large loudspeaker on the table.

"this?"

"Ah."
