As he spoke, Yu Qi led Yan Fei and the others out the door. This time, due to time constraints, they did not choose to go to Wanmin Hall, but instead found a restaurant nearby and had a quick meal.

Although the taste is not as good as Wanmintang, the cooking skills are worthy of opening a restaurant in Feiyunpo.

However, after the meal, Yu Qi discovered that Yan Fei seemed to be particularly fond of tofu. With so many dishes on the table, she spent almost 90% of her time eating the two plates of tofu dishes.

This made him a little bit interested. Not to mention Yan Fei's feelings for him, just the various problems she had helped him solve in the past two days were enough for him to treat her to a good meal later.

"I remember that I pulled out a lot of tofu before." After checking the inventory, Yu Qi quickly locked onto the target: "Black fat tofu, and glass crystal tofu, exactly three portions each."

After a little thought, Yu Qi decisively chose to stack them together to make a breakthrough. Although the quantity might be reduced, the taste would be greatly improved.

As a thank you gift, it's perfect!

"Black Fat Tofu (2 pieces): Made from a type of soybean called 'black fat bean', it has a smooth texture and melts in your mouth. It can provide a lot of calories after consumption and is often used to replenish energy in harsh environments."

"Glass Crystal Tofu (2 pieces): Shaped like glass and colored like crystal, it is naturally made tofu. When eaten alone, it tastes like flowing water, but if mixed with any other seasonings, it will bloom with an intoxicating and beautiful taste. However, it is extremely nutritious, and consumers often eat too much without realizing it, causing their weight to soar in a short period of time."

"Tsk, by the way, shouldn't this tofu be a common ingredient for weight loss and fat reduction? Why are the two I drew..."

After dinner, Yu Qi did not delay any longer and, led by Yan Fei, went straight to the tailor shop.

After buying herself a few sets of clothes that fit her, she asked the proprietress to measure the figures of Alicia, Yanfei, and Qiqi, and made several sets of daily clothes for each of them. Finally, she made three sets of summer clothes according to Alicia's figure as exclusive uniforms for the waiters in the shop in the future.

After a busy period of work, when Yu Qi and the others walked out of the tailor shop, their clothes had changed greatly.

Yu Qi changed out of the badly worn Bubulu uniform and replaced it with a slim black robe. Inside was a one-piece gown similar to Hanfu. Dark golden lines were arranged on both sides of the hem, depicting Liyue's most popular rock element pattern.

Combined with Yu Qi's slightly elegant temperament that he had developed from studying on Earth for a long time, coupled with his natural and harmonious aura...

Let me put it this way, when Yu Qi walked out of the dressing room wearing this outfit, the excitement in Yan Fei's eyes was almost turning into substance and flowing out, and even Alicia couldn't help but have a slightly strange look in her eyes.

"Tsk tsk, Boss, when you change your clothes, even I can't help but feel a little moved when I see you."

Chapter 51: Materials delivered to your door, coincidence?

"Allysia, stop joking." He rolled his eyes at Allysia helplessly, even though they had only been together for less than a day and he couldn't sense her emotional activities.

But Yu Qi had more or less figured out a little bit about Alicia, for example, in terms of her most basic preferences, she definitely liked girls more than men.

Although she seemed very close to him, after being teased so many times, Yu Qi still found it hard to believe her words like "I almost fell in love with you".

Probably just joking.

After paying the deposit and agreeing to pick up the clothes in two days, Yu Qi and others walked out of the tailor shop and went to Wanwen Collection to buy a complete set of literacy books. Then they walked down Feiyun Slope and soon arrived at Chihuyan.

First, I found a store selling daily necessities and ordered a complete set of kitchen utensils, including pots, pans, various beddings, pillows, tables, chairs and benches, and agreed on a time for delivery.

Then I found a store that specialized in selling tools such as stoves, bellows, iron blocks, and sinks, and bought a complete set of tools.

By the time he finished all these, it was almost evening and Yu Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew, I've been running around all day, I'm exhausted, is there anything else you want to buy?"

“Hehehe~” Humming a little tune, Alicia heard Yu Qi’s words, thought for a moment, and suddenly reached out to grab Yan Fei: “I still have some things to buy, Boss, you go shopping first, Miss Yan Fei, Qi Qi and I will be back soon!”

"Hey, Miss Alicia, where are you taking me?" Being inexplicably dragged away by Alicia, Yan Fei was a little confused and struggled instinctively.

In response, Alicia raised her hand and suddenly tickled her armpits, and when she relaxed her vigilance, she decisively led her to run: "Hey, Yanfei, just come with me, some girls' personal items!

Boss, please don't sneak over here and peek!"

Watching Yan Fei being pulled away by Alicia to buy some private items that girls need, Yu Qi shook his head and began to stroll slowly in the square of Chihuyan alone.

Compared to last night, Chihuyan was undoubtedly more lively in the afternoon. Perhaps because we had not yet reached the restaurant, there were fewer food stalls and more grocery stalls.

Yu Qi was quite interested in everything he saw along the way.

As he walked, he suddenly saw many strange stones in the shop in front, and many jades similar to jadeite and crystal were placed on the shelf on the other side.

With an idea in his mind, Yu Qi walked over.

From a distance, seeing Yu Qi coming over, the man standing in front of the stall, not sure whether he was the boss or the clerk, shouted, "Hey, sir, welcome to Jie Cui Hang. Would you like to try your luck by cutting two rough stones today? It's cheap and fun. Maybe you'll get rich before you know it!!"

"Jie Cui Hang? Pu Shi?" Yu Qi raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Boss, what's your name? Can you explain the meaning of this?"

Although he could roughly guess the meaning of "opened stone", which should be similar to the gambling stones on Earth, Yu Qi was still prepared to ask for clarification out of caution to avoid making a fool of himself.

"Oh? Sir, you asked this question. Are you a foreign merchant? Your Liyue dialect is so authentic that even an old Liyue person like me can't tell the difference!"

After a polite compliment, the other party bowed and introduced himself: "My surname is Shi. My parents gave me a cheap name, Shitou, to make it easier for me to raise me. Because my family is also engaged in the business of mineral trading, I have never changed my name. You can just call me Shitou."

"As for this unpolished stone, it naturally has a history!"

In concise and to the point, and with a hint of pride, he told Yu Qi in detail the origin, method, and story of the rough stone, which also included a lot of development history of Liyue's mineral industry. After the conversation, Yu Qi gained a deeper understanding of Liyue's past.

"So, sir, do you want to try your luck?" After the explanation, Shi Tou had a smooth smile on his face, and he didn't show any impatience because of Yu Qi's constant questioning.

"I'm not bragging about the stones. In the entire Liyue Harbor mineral world, our Jie Cui Hang is a well-known old brand. The raw stones here are all fine old mine materials from the Layered Abyss. They are top-quality jade raw materials. You can pick any piece you want to buy. The bigger the raw stone, the more expensive it is, but it is also more likely to produce good things!"

"Not to mention the distant past, just a few days ago, someone found a precious Night Stone from the rough stone here! The original capital of 200 Mora was sold at a sky-high price of 50,000 Mora!"

"Night Stone..." After carefully recalling the name of this mineral he had heard before, Yu Qi shook his head. He had no use for this precious mineral for the time being.

After thinking for a while, he was about to speak when Yan Fei's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Mr. Yu Qi, what are you doing here?"

"Ah?" Turning his head, he looked in the direction of the voice. Yan Fei, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, caught his eye. She was so eye-catching among the people coming and going: "Yan Fei, you're back? Where are Alicia and Qiqi?"

"Oh, when I came back just now, Alicia saw something and took Qiqi to buy something, so I came here by myself."

Walking slowly towards Yu Qi, Yan Fei said this with a faint smile on her face, so bright.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Yan Fei? The wind blew you over here!" Seeing Yan Fei coming over, Boss Shitou's expression changed slightly, and then he greeted her more enthusiastically. The smile on his face was no longer as smooth as before, but full of eagerness and respect.

"Are you also interested in rough stones? Why don't you try your luck by picking one?"

"Forget it, I'm not interested in this. But Brother Yu, are you planning to sell two pieces for fun?"

"Well~ Actually, I'm not that interested." Shaking his head at Shitou's somewhat disappointed eyes, Yu Qi stood up. In fact, he himself didn't quite understand why he came over to look at the unpolished stone. He could only say that he had a vague impulse in his heart.

But since he had learned so much history from the stone owner, he didn't want to return empty-handed. He pointed to a rough stone in front of him and said, "But since we're here, let's buy one."

"Okay, let me see. This rough stone is priced at 1,120 Mora. I'll give you a discount, 1,100 Mora will do. Do you want to have the stone cut in our shop?"

"Open it now!"

"Sir, please wait a moment. I will arrange for a master to help you cut the stone. As the old saying goes, 'Who knows if there is jade in the stone? One cut will tell whether you win or lose.' I see that you are so radiant today. I think good luck must be coming!"

"Thank you for your good wishes, boss." Shaking his head, not caring about Boss Shi's compliment, Yu Qi and the others didn't have to wait long before Alicia and the others ran over from a distance, holding a bunch of various bags in their hands.

At the same time, the unpolished stone selected by Yu Qi was dissected in the hands of master Jie Cuixing.

"Ah, it's shipped!" With a cry of surprise, the crowd watching not far away gathered around instantly. At the same time, the expressions of Yu Qi, Yan Fei, Alicia, and Qiqi all changed.

After looking at each other, the four of them couldn't help but focus their attention on the ore in the old master's hand.

Just a moment ago, they simultaneously felt a hidden elemental force emanating from the cut ore.

"Let me see, this color..." The stone cutter's voice gradually became a little strange. Looking at the light green color revealed in the stone, he couldn't help but frowned: "It's not jadeite? It doesn't look like jadeite! It's not jasper or Kunyu either. It looks a bit like malachite."

After shaking his head several times, the old master scraped away the stone chips around the jade. As the jade was revealed bit by bit, he gradually determined the true appearance of the jade: "It turns out to be Cuihanyan."

He walked over holding the jade stone, which was the size of an ordinary person's fist, and handed it to Yu Qi.

"Sir, you are quite lucky. This piece of Cui Hanyan rock can probably be sold for three thousand Mora in the market, which is a small profit."

Holding Cui Hanyan, Yu Qi's expression seemed particularly strange, especially after Yan Fei said something in his ear, it became even more subtle.

After leaving Liecuihang, Yu Qi discussed with Xiangling about the chef coming to the store tomorrow at noon. Holding the green jade, Yu Qi walked back to the store with a strange expression on his face.

"Yan Fei, are you sure? Is this the raw material needed to open up the cave?"

"Yes!" Nodding vigorously, Yan Fei was also a little confused: "Cui Jue Rock is the raw material that must be used to make the Chen Ge Pot. It is also needed to use the external scene technique to make the Half Cave Heaven."

"In most cases, Emerald Rock can only be mined in the Abyss. However, after the Black Rock Factory started mining and quarrying in the Abyss, the output of Emerald Rock has been decreasing, and finally it is almost gone."

"Especially, the Emerald Jade Rock itself is a precious immortal object. It is difficult for ordinary people to bear the immortal luck on it. If you come into contact with it for too long, it will be harmful to your body. Therefore, even if many people find it by chance, they will avoid it like the plague because of the discomfort in their bodies."

"Originally, I was planning to ask my grandmother for a piece of Cuijue Rock. She is the best at outdoor scenes, and she should have some left, but now..."

Looking at the fist-sized jade in Yu Qi's hand, Yan Fei said helplessly: "To be honest, this is the first time I have seen such a large piece of Cui Jue Rock! Even if it is used to make the top-notch Chen Ge Pot, only half of it is enough!"

"This is really a coincidence!"

"Coincidence?" Yu Qi raised his eyebrows and thought: "Maybe."

“Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore!” Alicia didn’t think too much like Yu Qi did. She happily stuffed a skewer over and said, “Come and try it. I grilled it myself. It’s from another world, ahem. The ingredients in Liyue Harbor are really rich. Many of them I haven’t seen before. Let’s try it and see how it tastes!”

Chapter 52: Encounter

After returning to the store, they put away all the things they had bought on the way. Except for the large items such as tables and chairs, pots and pans, and forging tools that had not yet been delivered, the other things did not take up much space. At least Yu Qi and the others arranged everything quickly.

"Hmm~" Looking at her house that had almost completely turned pink, Alicia nodded with satisfaction: "This is now a room that a beautiful girl should live in! The original colors were so gloomy that living in it made people feel like they were growing hair!"

Pink curtains, pink table mats, pink sheets, quilts, pillowcases, if time wasn't so tight, she would even replace the carpets and walls with pink decorations!

Standing at the door and looking at the room that had changed drastically, Yu Qi not only paused, but suddenly he was afraid to step into the room.

The pink room, the pink girl, and the dizzying pink aura that seemed to materialize...

"What kind of light pollution is this!" Yu Qi complained silently, then slowly walked into Alicia's room.

"Hum, hum, hum?~" Humming a little tune softly, Alicia carefully strung together the small ornaments specially selected from the market, one by one, made them into the shape of a wind chime, and then hung it on the window.

Although they were all cheap and ordinary trinkets, Alicia still smiled with fondness as she watched them swaying in front of the window in the breeze.

Hearing Yu Qi and the others walking into the room, Alicia turned around and greeted them: "Hey, boss, have you put away all your things?"

"Well, there aren't many things anyway!" Sitting down at the table, Yu Qi looked at the pink ceramic tea set in front of him and couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Ailixia, you..."

It was really hard for her to find so many pink things in this ancient-style Liyue Harbor.

"Hmm, how about it? Isn't it beautiful?" She waved proudly at Yu Qi, guiding him to carefully look at the changes in her room. Alicia looked at him and asked expectantly, "Boss, do you want to get one too? I bought several sets of different styles and patterns as backup?"

"Boss, if you like it, I can give you a set!" Looking at the three people in front of her, Miss Pink Fairy couldn't wait to promote it: "Yan Fei and Qi Qi, you too, I have specially selected a set of suitable tea sets for you!

Look, pink, cute, very girly furniture, isn’t this the color a perfect and beautiful girl should use?!"

“No thanks!” Hearing what Alicia said, Yu Qi waved his hands frantically as if he had received an electric shock, and shook his head repeatedly, saying, “I still prefer the current color scheme, so there’s no need to change it!”

"Besides, if I, a grown man, use such a pink color combination..."

"I think it's pretty good, but unfortunately, pink and I don't seem to match very well!" Shaking her head with some regret, Yan Fei took out a picture of the porcelain with patterns of auspicious beasts such as Qilin that Alicia took out from the bag beside her, and couldn't help but move closer.

"Wow, Miss Alicia, where did you buy this porcelain? The workmanship is so great!" Yan Fei reached out to touch the smooth porcelain, especially the tea set with a Xiezhi pattern. She couldn't let it go: "Can you tell me the store? I want to order two sets of such tea sets later."

When she accompanied Alicia around before, she didn't see her buying porcelain, so she couldn't help but feel curious at this time.

"Oh, I bought this in a store called Chunxiang Kiln. I spent a lot of effort to get it from the salesgirl." Raising her neck with pride, Alicia picked up Qiqi with a smile and touched her all over her arms.

Seeing this, Yu Qi couldn't help but feel a little envious - but as for who he envied, it was hard to say.

"I also ordered a batch of porcelain from her, which will be delivered to the store after it is fired in a while."

"Chunxiang Kiln?" As if remembering something, Yan Fei put down the tea set in her hand and nodded: "So it's that store. I've heard of their reputation. The porcelain they produce is really good."

"Although it is not as large as the official kilns and cannot undertake the firing of large porcelains, in terms of ordinary porcelain, especially daily tableware and various vase decorations, it is definitely not inferior to the official kilns in terms of quality and exquisiteness."

"I've never bought porcelain from them before, but I didn't expect that they have this kind of craftsmanship."

"That's great. I'll go over there with you someday. Miss Ying'er said there are many new styles of porcelain there."

"Qiqi, I don't know; Qiqi can't use it, porcelain." On the other side, shaking his head with some difficulty, Qiqi poked his head out from the roundness, as if he had just realized what Alicia was asking him.

He said softly, "I don't like tea and rarely use it, so I don't need it."

"How can that be possible?" Ai Lixia rubbed Qiqi's face lovingly and said with a smile: "We are all sisters, so of course we should treat each other equally. Look, this is what I picked specially for you. There are white, blue, and sparrow patterns. Isn't it cute?!"

"Little Tuan Que..." Qi Qi looked at the pattern on the tea set in confusion, blinked, took the teapot and touched it: "It's smooth, not like a little Tuan Que... But, Qi Qi likes it very much."
