Shanhai Hotpot Restaurant

Ming Qian was struggling with both a mortgage and a commercial loan, and had just been forced out of work, when his luck finally turned and he found a priceless piece of ancient jade. The night before he planned to turn it in and let the relevant authorities find its owner, a silver-haired, painfully chuuni young man suddenly appeared in his home, trespassing. The silver-haired hottie was dressed in ancient-style clothes and spoke in a stream of words Ming Qian couldn't understand. "You are my fated mate. This jade is my clan's token of betrothal." "Our union is destined by heaven." "I am the last nine-tailed fox in heaven and earth." Ming Qian: "Which hospital is treating you? I'll call and have them come pick you up." Ming Qian had to pay off his loans and raise a fox, so in the end he chose to start a business. He opened a hot pot restaurant that even he had no faith in, spending every day waiting for it to go under and admitting that he was bad at everything and best at losing money. Later: The nine-tailed fox became the restaurant's most popular and least popular waiter, both at once. Yinglong became the most popular delivery driver in the restaurant. Dang Kang consistently ranked first among outstanding employees. The Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant became an overnight sensation. The hot pot joint that had seemed on the verge of closing at any moment somehow became a source of local pride. When Ming Qian was interviewed: "How did we get popular? I have no idea." "Ah, I hope fewer customers come. We don't have enough staff, so please bear with us." [VIP Notice]: This novel will become VIP-exclusive on March 15, with 10,000 words updated that day. Pre-release novel: The Demon King's Farm Blurb: Well, I transmigrated. On the very first day, I saw my identity card: Demon King. I thought long and hard, but couldn't figure out what this identity card was for. After all, I was unarmed, and I didn't exactly look like someone who could use magic. Fortunately, I got the standard protagonist perk when I transmigrated: a System. It was an MC System, too, but as a beginner player, all I'd just learned was how to grow wheat. It seemed like farming was about all I could do for now. And so, I achieved the dream of generations of Demon Kings to conquer the world by farming. -- When the demon lords of Hell finally reached the human world after countless trials and tribulations, they saw their ruler standing before endless fields, hoe in hand, with a scarecrow behind him. He was shouting at the wheat fields, "This is the empire I've won for myself! Hahahahahaha!" "Exploitation? There's no exploitation here. You get what you work for, and those who don't work don't eat." "Bandits and thieves? Perfect. We need people to work in the mines." "Everyone here is equal. The only difference is what kind of work they do." This was his farm, the utopia he had created. Theme: Create a better life with your own hands.
