I'm a male god in Liyue

Back in his room upstairs, he bought a set of carving knives from the [shop].

【Seven-Piece Carving Knife】

Quality: Silver.

Type: Assistive devices.

Features: None.

Effect: Sculpting focus +20%, probability of perfect finished product +10%.

Hidden effects: None.

Price: 30 points.

This is a set of carving knives with a very high aesthetic appeal and decent effect. It can increase the probability of a perfect finished product, which is very useful even for a stone carving master like him. In addition, there is the powerful blessing of the [Shadow Gloves] (100% increase in the effect of two-handed skills). In fact, Xia Zhi's carving skills have now surpassed Zhong Li's.

Back downstairs, under the curious gazes of the two girls, Xia Zhi used a carving knife to cut open the two small rough stones.

Unlike Xie Cuixing's cautious approach of probing and cutting the stone at the same time, Xia Zhi's technique was more fluid and natural, as if he already knew exactly what shape of jade was hidden inside the stone. His carving knife simply followed its outline, gently cutting away the excess stone attached to its surface.

Soon, the two jade stones, one white and one green, were unearthed.

Wow, it really found jade!

"You guys are pretty lucky."

"Can we sell it for money?"

"It's too small, and it won't sell for much money anyway. Why not use it to have something you like engraved as a souvenir? What do you like? I can engrave it for you."

"Does the boss also do carving?"

"I happen to know a little bit."

"let me see……"

"How about tanuki? I remember you seemed to really like tanuki?"

"Okay!"

"Shen He, what about you?"

"Crane, is that alright?"

"of course can."

Xia Zhi nodded, picked up the carving knife, and began to carve with a relaxed demeanor.

The two girls watched intently.

In no time, a lifelike raccoon dog appeared in his hand.

"Wow, that's amazing! It feels like there was a raccoon dog hiding inside that jade stone all along!"

"Okay, here you go."

"thank you boss!"

After a while, a lifelike little female crane appeared in his hand.

Shen He looked at it and murmured, "Master...Father..."

"This one is fine too, here you go."

"thank you boss."

Next, it was time to cut open the larger rough stone he had bought.

Xia Zhi picked up the largest carving knife, walked to the rough stone, and cut it off with a single stroke.

A soft, creamy white hue peeked out from the cut, looking absolutely beautiful under the light of the four-way lamp.

"Boss, we've found a jade piece!"

"Ah."

Xia Zhi continued cutting the stone and soon extracted a large piece of beautiful white jade from inside.

"Boss, what kind of jade is this?"

"It should be snow jade."

"Is it precious?"

"Such a large piece of raw material could sell for over 100,000 yuan. If it were carved into a fine piece, the price could reach over a million yuan."

Wow! We've hit the jackpot!

"really."

"Boss, what are you planning to carve it into?"

"Let's play mahjong."

"Why?(?)"

The two girls looked puzzled.

Chapter 128 The Ghost Girl's Treasure Chest

Yuehai Pavilion.

After finishing her work, Gan Yu finally had a moment to rest and reached for the food box on the table.

This was sent over by Yao Yao earlier.

Gan Yu opened the food box, inside was a vegetarian version of almond tofu that Mr. Xia had specially made for her.

A rich aroma of almonds wafted out, tempting the appetite.

Gan Yu stared at the snow-white, exquisite dessert, her gaze drifting into a daze.

Almond tofu is a famous dessert in Liyue, but Ganyu has never eaten it over the years because it contains milk.

Besides that, she hadn't actually tried most of the famous delicacies of Liyue.

Being a vegetarian and living in Liyue, a city with so many delicious foods, is both a blessing and a curse.

Gan Yu took the still slightly cold bowl out of the container and noticed a clean porcelain spoon thoughtfully placed at the bottom.

Mr. Xia was probably worried that there were no tableware in her office.

Gan Yu picked up the spoon, a faint smile appearing on her face.

I picked up the spoon and carefully took a bite. It was smooth, sweet, and melted in my mouth. The unique rich flavor of almonds and the refreshing, slightly sweet taste of coconut milk blended perfectly together, making me feel as if I were lying on a beach full of almonds.

Gan Yu squinted her eyes, feeling as if the fatigue from a day's work was fading away.

Really delicious!

She put down her spoon and glanced again at the Qilin doll on the table.

I thought to myself, "That's wonderful."

--

"Boss, what is mahjong?"

"It's a type of card for playing. I'll teach you how to play it once it's engraved."

"it is good!"

Xia Zhi held the carving knife and cut the freshly unearthed snow-white jade into neat square pieces as if cutting tofu.

Each piece is exactly the same size, without the slightest difference.

The two girls looked on with a hint of amazement, but for a master stone sculptor, this was just normal practice.

Xia Zhi then switched to a small carving knife and began carving words on the small cube.

Circles, bamboos, characters, east, west, south, north, white hair, dice.

Replace the Chinese characters with the characters for "璃月".

After carving a complete set of mahjong tiles, they still need to be dyed.

Xia Zhi made an excuse to go back upstairs and spent 3 points in the [Shop] to buy 3 bottles of extraordinary dyes—red, black, and green.

These dyes are very difficult to fade and can only be washed off with special chemicals.

The raw materials for this special potion are also sold in the [Shop], although they only cost 1 point, but they cannot be found on the Teyvat continent.

In other words, these dyes are virtually colorless in this world.

Xia Zhi dyed a mahjong set and then casually carved two small seals.

Summer Shops, All Collected.

These two small stamps are for preparation for the upcoming food delivery business.
