"I know."

"Oh?"

“I saw it last night, the notice on the door.”

"I see. Does Miss Qiqi usually stay here alone?"

"Ah."

What will it do?

"Look at the little magpies on the tree."

"Little Tufted Sparrow?"

"Hmm, it's a tiny little thing, very cute."

Xia Zhi fell silent for a moment, then suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

He looked up at the big tree in front of him and could hear the chirping of birds.

"Does Miss Qiqi like little sparrows?"

"like."

Xia Zhi nodded and raised his hand toward the treetop.

The two little sparrows that were originally afraid of people on the tree actually fell down and landed on his palm.

Qiqi opened her eyes wide with cuteness: "Little Sparrow!"

Xia Zhi smiled and stroked their feathers, letting Qi Qi look at them to her heart's content before putting them back on the tree.

"If Miss Qiqi is free tomorrow, why don't you come to our shop for a visit?"

"it is good."

Chapter 75 A New Shop Assistant from Liyue

After leaving Bubulu, Xia Zhi and Shen He went to the market together and bought her new bedding, pillows, and some daily necessities.

Back at the shop, Zhu Zi had already returned and was sweeping the floor and wiping the tables.

This girl is so diligent, she can't seem to have a moment's rest.

"Boss! You're back!"

"Well, I'm back."

Zhu Zi looked curiously at the beautiful older sister next to Xia Zhi, who could easily lift a large pile of items with one hand.

"Boss, who is this?"

"She is Ms. Shen He. She will be helping out at our shop from now on, and like you, she will be living at the shop."

"Ah, hello Sister Shenhe! My name is Zhu Zi! Please take care of me from now on!"

Shen He nodded and replied casually, "Hello."

"Miss Shen He is naturally aloof, much like Miss Qi Qi. She's just not very good at expressing her feelings; it's not that she has any issues with you."

"Oh!"

“Miss Shen He is the apprentice of an old friend of mine, so she’s practically family. Zhu Zi, you don’t need to be so reserved. Just let’s get along naturally.”

"I see!"

"Okay, take Miss Shenhe upstairs to pick out an empty room, help her tidy up, and also tell her about our store."

"Okay, boss! Miss Shen He, please follow me!"

Zhu Zi led Shen He into the shop.

"Miss Shen He, let me help you with some things."

"Need not."

"It's okay, it's too tiring for you to carry it all by yourself, give it to me."

Shen He couldn't refuse her kindness, so he handed her a small portion of the items.

Zhu Zi smelled a faint medicinal scent from the bag in his hand and glanced at it.

"These look like medicinal herbs?"

"Ah."

"Is Miss Shen He ill?"

"No, these are food that Mr. Xia bought for me in Bubulu."

"what?"

“I grew up in the mountains, eating these medicinal herbs.”

"……So this is ah."

Zhu Zi felt that his eyes had been opened.

“Um, this is the staircase. The boss and I both live on the second floor. This is the boss's room. We can't just go in without his permission. This is my room. There are three other empty rooms. Miss Shen He, you can choose whichever you like.”

"This one, please."

Shen He directly chose the room next to Xia Zhi's bedroom.

After all, she had promised her master that she would take good care of him, so of course, the closer the better.

Zhu Zi nodded, pushed open the door, and said, "Although the room has been cleaned before, it would be best to wipe it down again. Wait a moment, I'll go get some water and a rag."

Zhu Zi ran downstairs with a clattering sound.

Xia Zhi was browsing the online store at the table when she saw her suddenly return. She asked, "Why did you come down again?"

"I'll get the rag."

"Oh, Zhu Zi, wait a minute."

"Hey?"

"Come here first, I have something to tell you."

"Oh."

Zhu Zi obediently walked over.

Xia Zhi lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "It's like this, there are some things I need to tell you about Miss Shen He."

The warm breath brushed against her earlobe, and Zhu Zi's cheeks flushed slightly.

"Boss...wh...what's wrong?"

“Ms. Shen He used to live in the mountains and rarely had contact with people, so her perspective on issues is different from ours, and she is not very clear about some common sense. You should be more tolerant of her.”

"I...I know!"

"You should keep a close eye on her too."

"Looking?"

"Just be careful not to let her act impulsively. She's very strong and sometimes likes to resort to violence."

"I understand!"

"Okay, that's all. You can go ahead and get busy."

"Ok!"

Zhu Zi blushed and agreed. She ran back upstairs, pinched her burning earlobes with her fingers, and only went into the room when her complexion had almost returned to normal.

Shen He was standing by the bed, quietly surveying the room where he would be living for a long time.

"Miss Shen He, I'm back."

"Ah."

Zhu Zi wrung out the rag and helped wipe her while telling her about things.

“Ms. Shen He, our shop sells specialty drinks. Currently, there are only three of us. The boss is in charge of mixing the drinks, and you and I are in charge of greeting customers, cleaning up the place, and collecting money and keeping accounts.”

"It's actually very simple. Our shop is doing very well. We don't need to stand at the door to attract customers like other shops do. Customers come and line up on their own every day. We just need to guide them to sit at the table, serve them the juice, and then collect their money."

"The working hours are not very long. We start work at nine in the morning, have a two-hour lunch break, and can take a short nap. After working five days, we get two days off."

"The salary is also very high, 1 mora a month, plus room and board. We eat with the boss. In the morning, we look for a restaurant depending on the situation. For lunch and dinner, we usually eat at Wanmintang. Ms. Shenhe, do you know Wanmintang? The food there is very delicious. You will definitely like it."

Shen He listened attentively, nodding occasionally.

Seeing the happy smile on Zhu Zi's face, Shen He knew that she really liked her current job, which made him feel a little hopeful for his life in the human world.

After making the bed, Zhu Zi and Shen He went downstairs.

It was around 3 p.m.

Xia Zhi took out a bag and handed it to Zhu Zi: "I went to the Northern Bank today and withdrew 20,000 Mora. The money I gave you last time shouldn't be much left, right?"
