Shanhai Canteen [Gourmet]

Ying Linglong had barely inherited the family business when she was greeted by the news that it had gone bankrupt. After looking into it, she discovered that her family had somehow entered into a support partnership with the mythical beasts found only in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Their main form of support was paying fines for these lawbreaking beasts... Watching the money flow out of her account like water, Ying Linglong refused to put up with this. She stormed over to the beasts. "Pay me back!" The beasts, looking weak, pitiful, and penniless: "We have no money..." Then get jobs! A few days later, a little shop called Shanhai Canteen opened in Jiangyu City. Handmade fish balls, fresh and springy; spicy-sour chicken gizzards, crisp and tender; golden crab roe rice, glistening with oil; and spicy, chewy river snails all appeared on the menu. Diners drooled and flocked to the shop. The Golden Crow shook its feathers, starting a mountain fire. It had openly violated forest and grassland fire-prevention regulations by illegally starting a fire in a restricted area, and was fined 200,000 yuan. Grinding her teeth, Ying Linglong paid the fine for him. From then on, the world lost the divine bird Golden Crow, while Shanhai Canteen gained a barbecue chef, Master Jin. Master Jin had perfected his command of the flames. Whether you wanted your food medium rare or medium, half-raw or charred on the outside and cooked through, he could get it just right. The diners, hesitant to speak: "Well done, please." The Chongming Bird accidentally revealed its monstrous form during a livestream. Instead of promptly fixing the situation, it made a grand declaration: "I was born with double pupils. They're not contact lenses slipping out of place!" For violating internet livestreaming regulations, its channel was banned and it was fined 50,000 yuan. Seeing that he was strong and didn't even need to eat, Ying Linglong reluctantly took him on at Shanhai Canteen to do odd jobs, carry supplies, and wait tables. He did a pretty good job and earned a "5,000-Yuan Debt Deduction Voucher" from Ying Linglong, drawing envious looks from the other employees. The little shop grew busier and busier, and even beasts started coming to seek work. Feifei: "Boss Ying, I've been filleting fish at RT-Mart for ten years. My heart has long been..." Ying Linglong grabbed her hand. "Hello, you're our prep cook. Can you start today?" Preorder: [Fluffy Farmstay] Yao Qianqian's eyes started acting up. Yesterday, the office had been full of sharp-suited professionals, but today, more than half of them had turned fluffy. The Golden Retriever manager patiently explained the workflow to her. "Do you understand?" Yao Qianqian stared at his swishing tail and fawned, "You're such a good boy! Give me a couple more barks." The pretty Ragdoll coworker at the next desk stretched. Yao Qianqian couldn't help staring at those pink paw pads, blooming like flowers. She thought, "Could I shake your paw? No, I mean, shake your hand?" She figured she must be seriously ill and went to the best eye doctor in the city. The raccoon doctor looked sharply at her. "Go home. This is incurable." Yao Qianqian left resignedly. She hadn't expected the adorable-looking raccoon doctor to be a real snake in the grass. He turned around and called the police, trying to have her sent to a psychiatric hospital. Yao Qianqian argued with a perfectly straight face. "How could anyone mistake a perfectly normal person for an animal? I was just groggy because I hadn't slept enough. I'm completely fine now!" The officer who came to her home eyed her warily. "But you were just petting my colleague like he was a dog." Yao Qianqian shed tears like wide noodles. "He was crouching by the roadside, fishing for evidence!" Fortunately, she wasn't sent to a psychiatric hospital. Instead, she received special funding from a mysterious organization, which encouraged her to open a farmstay in the countryside. She wouldn't have to worry about publicity or attracting customers herself. When the farmstay opened, a whole truckload of fluffy visitors arrived. A long-legged Arctic hare strode along briskly, then looked back. "What are you staring at? Never seen someone with fair skin, good looks, and long legs?" A big orange cat leaped down from the truck with a thump and shook its ears. "Sorry to bother you, meow." A certain black-eyed national treasure wolfed down fifty jin of bamboo shoots. A Tibetan fox, whose look was completely out of place, gazed into the mirror. "A square face is the next step in evolution." A snow leopard obediently carried its own tail over to a tree and lay down. A husky came bounding out and stepped on it. On the outside, Yao Qianqian said, "Ah, please stop fighting!" On the inside: Fight, fight! I love watching this! Theme: Hard work changes lives
