Divine Beast Little Canteen [Gourmet]

[Polished Complete Version Available Only on Jinjiang.] [This is a food novel about a nonhuman running a restaurant. My new column novel, I Livestream Fortune-Telling in the Human World, is looking for follows~] Blurb: In an era of spiritual qi revival, newly awakened monsters are struggling to get by. Luo Huai'an is a mythical Pixiu, but she still has to work hard like everyone else. When she hears that a nearby university is hiring cafeteria ladies, she pats her completely empty wallet and decides to apply. She only meant to apply for a job at Cafeteria One, but after she cooks a meal, the manager is so astounded that they immediately ask her to take over the haunted cafeteria. Running a business ought to be more profitable than working for someone else, Luo Huai'an reasons, and agrees. First, let's set a modest goal: get the whole university, students and staff alike, paying for meals at Cafeteria Eight every day! When Luo's Little Cafeteria opened, foodies didn't pay it any attention. “When I got into Hangzhou University, one of the country's top schools, I was thrilled. But after seeing the seven cafeterias serve steamed eggs with ants, mooncakes stir-fried with tomatoes, and roast duck with strawberries, I realized my enthusiasm had been misplaced.” “The haunted Cafeteria Eight is open too! You pay money to eat at the other cafeterias, but eating at Cafeteria Eight will cost you your life.” “I've had it. Cafeteria Eight isn't getting a single cent out of my pocket!” But later, they all changed their tune! “The pepper buns are so unbelievably good, I started drooling all the way over in the teaching building.” “I ate four bowls of scallion-oil noodles. Even my mom had no idea I could eat that much.” “I never thought I'd get to eat such delicious crab roe tofu at Hangzhou University in my lifetime! Is the owner a god of cooking descended to earth?” Reader's Guide: 1. The heroine is based on a Pixiu, which lets money in but never lets it out, so she's a stingy, awful boss. If you can't accept this character type, don't read. 2. The male lead is just window dressing. 3. Lots of monsters from books such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Classic of the Divine Marvels. Completed food novel in my column: The Imperial Palace Chef's Restaurant P.S.
