Yin-Yang Midnight Snack Shop [Metaphysics]

[The complete edition costs about as much as a cup of milk tea. Upcoming stories: "Opening a Restaurant in a World of Resurgent Hauntings" and "Returning to the Modern Era to Grow Spirit Plants and Take the World by Storm," below~] After clearing an infinite apocalyptic world, Ye Quan opened a restaurant and settled into retirement. She would open the shop after waking up, and eat the food she made first. Her rules! She'd almost forgotten what it was like to eat properly. This time, no one was going to stop her from enjoying her food! The haunted storefront on Xile Street is open for business! The newly opened late-night diner opens at dusk and closes at midnight. The menu depends on what the owner feels like eating that day, and prices depend on her mood, ranging from ten to a thousand, with no upper limit. Everyone agreed: It would close sooner or later. But then... From frying and grilling to roasting and baking, and exquisite pastries made from ancient recipes, customers lined up for late-night snacks. With satisfied bellies, they brought Xile Street to life after dark. After finishing their meal, the diners couldn't get enough. Clutching the table, they pleaded, "Boss, if you opened during the day, we'd crowdfund you into a fortune!" Someone in the shop glared at them, face deathly pale. "The boss got rich without staying open all day!" The diners: ...They're not wrong, but somehow that doesn't seem right??? Ye Quan: "The car-crash ghost needs to put on some makeup before coming back. Hanged ghosts, tuck your tongues away. Don't scare the other customers! If you need to communicate with the dead, take a number and get in line. No using spells to place orders illegally... And you can't send dreams to your children and grandchildren so they'll come take a group photo! Make way, make way, table thirteen's garlic scallops are here!" --Aside from a few little surprises, her late-night diner and retirement are still perfectly normal, right? Reader's note: This is a fictional world of occult arts and ghosts, unrelated to reality. Please don't be superstitious. The female lead runs a low-profile shop hidden in plain sight. She's an overwhelmingly powerful retired big shot who can overcome anything by force. Completed works: Interstellar farming, "The First Spirit Planter in the Galaxy"; fantasy shopkeeping, "A Gacha Pull Gave Me the First Vacation Island"; Western fantasy with fourth-dimension disasters, "Becoming a God Starts with Summoning Players" -- Upcoming story: "Opening a Restaurant in a World of Resurgent Hauntings" Fierce beasts return, flying corpses appear, flesh-and-blood Buddhas, bone immortals... Ye Ping'an transmigrates to a world of resurgent hauntings with her ancestral restaurant. Unfazed, she opens the door. "Grand opening special, everyone's welcome... Hey, you over there dressed as an octopus monster! Pay if you're eating. If you're not, stop blocking the door!" At first, everyone thinks it's just an ordinary restaurant. Until... A former customer, lost in the domain of the Hundred-Eyed Ghost and on the verge of despair, sees the boss shuffle over in her slippers. "I was wondering why you hadn't been by lately. Come on, let's go. You can't skip meals." Customer: ??? . The investigation team, swallowed by a Heart-Eater's lair and on the verge of a breakdown, watches Ye Ping'an carry takeout through the bloody fog. "You people have such strange tastes. Why do you like eating here? It's smelly, dirty, and hard to find... Ahem, that'll be 100 for the food and 1,000 for delivery. First-time customers get one percent off! Scan to pay or cash? Please come again!" Investigation team: ??? . At the scene of a strange phenomenon outbreak, Ye Ping'an cheerfully leans out of her grocery-delivery van. "Why don't you ever come eat at my place? By the way, do you still want this ghost? My shop could use a cleaner." The strange phenomenon: ??? . The investigation team looks at the former A-rank apparition, now a rag under Ye Ping'an's foot, and swallows nervously. "...What kind of incredible expert are you?" Ye Ping'an: "You're good with words, but that won't get you a free meal next time! I'm just an ordinary restaurant owner running a small business. The prices are clearly marked, and no credit!" Survivors / investigation team / ghosts: ??? Say that 'ordinary' part again while looking at yourself! The apparition behind you, all bruised and swollen, is about to cry! -- Upcoming magical farming story: "Returning to the Modern Era to Grow Spirit Plants and Take the World by Storm" After transmigrating for many years, Ye Zhuyu returns with her wood spirit root! She discovers that before she transmigrated to Shennong Mountain, she was the real daughter and supporting villainess in an old-fashioned novel. Her wealthy birth family refused to acknowledge her, and her adoptive family was doomed to a tragic end. Looking at her exhausted family, Ye Zhuyu returns to her old line of work: farming. Not long after... Her father returns to teaching at school, and his colleagues beg him to sell them hair-regrowth corn. Her mother starts a new business, and people clamor for whitening tomatoes. Her older sister goes back to school to earn her doctorate, and her classmates and advisor snap up sesame paste that improves memory and grapes that sharpen eyesight. An injured retired sports champion, a musician who lost her voice, and a doctor with a hand injury show up at the door, all to deliver thank-you banners after recovering! The wealthy birth parents and protagonists from the old-fashioned novel come begging, looking utterly defeated. Ye Zhuyu is puzzled. "I don't think I did anything? Move aside, you're blocking my farming." As she farms, spiritual qi revives in the modern world. Ye Zhuyu raises her hoe and charges forward: "Make way, make way, I'll handle it! Catch that fat one first and bring it back to raise! The long-legged rice, don't run! Let me see how many pounds one stalk can yield!" #Ever heard of the Classic of Mountains and Seas? How about trying Shennong's recipes!# #What's wrong with being a plant cultivator? Farming and eating are the strongest!# Theme: Cherish life and love living
