Zhu Zi took it and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Boss, there's actually quite a bit more. After all, we never paid for our meals at Wanmintang, except for the time we spent a lot of money buying books."

"It's alright, take it first. Now that we have one more person in the store, there will be more expenses."

"Ok."

“It’s still early, why don’t you take Miss Shenhe out for a stroll? Although I just bought her quite a few things, there are some things that girls need that I don’t know much about. Could you help Miss Shenhe pick some out?”

"Okay, boss."

"Then we'll go to that tailor shop we visited last time and have two waitress uniforms made for Miss Shenhe. We'll also order the thick uniforms for you two to wear in winter."

"Okay, boss."

"Buy a few more dresses or other pretty clothes. The holidays are coming soon, and girls always need new clothes to wear, and shoes too..."

Zhu Zi couldn't help but recall the time she had sprained her ankle a few days ago. Her face flushed, and she nodded, "I understand."

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead, I'll wait for you guys to come back at the shop, and we'll go have dinner together."

Zhu Zi took Shen He out.

Walking down the street, Zhu Zi couldn't help but say to Shen He, "Miss Shen He, don't you think the boss is very thoughtful?"

Shen He paused for a moment, then, remembering the medicinal herbs he had specially bought for her to eat as snacks, nodded and said lightly, "Mm."

"Let me tell you, the boss is a really great person, you'll see later!"

"Ah."

Chapter Seventy-Six: Senior Sister and Junior Sister

"Boss! We're back!"

"Ah."

"We even bought you some food!"

"Oh? What is it?"

"Guess it!"

Xia Zhi pretended to think.

"candy?"

"No."

"cake?"

"No, it's fruit."

"Sunset fruit?"

"Yes, I'll go to the kitchen to wash up first."

Zhu Zi, carrying a bag of sunset fruit, ran to the back of the shop.

Xia Zhi looked at Shen He and asked with a smile, "Why did you think of buying me Sunset Fruit?"

Shen He sat down at the table and said, "There were people selling them on the way back. Zhu Zi said you like them and you must buy a few. She carefully selected them for a long time."

I like to eat?

Xia Zhi suddenly remembered that a few days ago he had taken out two Sunset Fruits from his inventory, washed them, and given one to Zhu Zi.

Such a small gesture, I never expected that Zhu Zi would keep it in mind all this time.

"The fruit is washed."

Zhu Zi came over and distributed the washed sunset fruit to everyone.

"This is for the boss, and this is for Miss Shen He."

Xia Zhi took it and said, "Thank you, Zhu Zi."

"You're welcome. It was bought with the boss's money anyway."

"It's quite sweet."

"They said they were picked today, but they don't feel as fresh as the sunset fruit you gave me last time."

"You might have been scammed."

"Ugh, I'm never buying things from the street again!"

Xia Zhi smiled and took a bite. The fruit was actually quite fresh, probably picked this morning, only about half a day ago. But it certainly couldn't compare to the Sunset Fruits in his inventory, because they had been in a "static" state, just as fresh as if they had just been picked from the tree.

After eating the sunset fruit and chatting for a while, the three of them went out to have dinner.

Upon arriving at Wanmintang, Xia Zhi introduced his new employee to Master Mao and Xiangling.

"Miss Shen He? Her hair is snow-white..."

When Xiangling heard the name, it seemed somewhat familiar. After thinking about it carefully, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"I've heard my junior sister mention you!"

"Little junior sister?"

"It's Yao Yao!"

"Yaoyao, so you're the senior sister she was talking about."

"Yes, you've always stayed away from the world. It's not easy for you to come to Liyue Harbor, so I have to treat you well! Otherwise, Master and Yao Yao will definitely scold me!"

"You are Welcome."

What do you like to eat? Steamed dishes? Boiled dishes? Stir-fried dishes? Cold dishes?

"I……"

Xia Zhi spoke up in time to help Shen He out of the predicament: "For tonight's dishes, Miss Xiangling, please try to make them as light as possible."

"I understand!"

Xiangling returned to the kitchen, ready to show off her culinary skills.

Master Mao asked in a low voice, "Is that really the immortal's disciple?"

"Yes, Dad."

"Will she work for Mr. Xia at the store from now on?"

"Ah."

Master Mao nodded in relief.

Making a disciple of an immortal do chores—I knew Mr. Xia must be an immortal!

Before long, a table full of dishes was served.

Shen He picked up his chopsticks, tasted it, and his expression softened slightly.

Zhu Zi asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?"

Shen He nodded: "Delicious."

She paused, then added, "It tastes a little better than Liuliting's."

"Liuli Pavilion? I heard the food there is really expensive. Has Miss Shenhe actually eaten there?"

"Mr. Xia took me out for lunch."

"???"

Zhu Zi immediately turned her head and looked at Xia Zhi with a resentful expression.

Xia Zhi is blind and can't see anything; he just keeps his head down and eats attentively.

"boss."

"Ok?"

"Is the food at Liuli Pavilion delicious?"

"It's just so-so, nothing special. It's not as good as Wanmintang's."

"Then why did you still go?"

"There's no other way; when I'm treating Miss Yanfei to dinner, I have to go to a more expensive place."

"That's it."

"If you want to eat there, I'll take you to Liuli Pavilion next time."

"No...no need! It's not as good as Wanmintang's anyway, so let's not waste money."

"It's okay, we have money."

Zhu Zi suddenly blushed and lowered her head to silently eat her rice.

After dinner, they said goodbye to Xiangling and the three of them left Wanmintang.

After walking a few steps, Shen He couldn't help but remind him, "This isn't the way back."
