I Sell Lunch Boxes in the Underworld

The true daughter, Qin Yuvine, was found and brought back to the Qin family, but she was neither loved nor cared for. Her parents feared making the fake daughter upset, so they favored the fake dau...

Chapter 144 What are you looking at!

Before Qin Yunie could speak, the ghosts watching around him urged, "Yeah, Boss Qin, when are you finally going to open your restaurant?"

"Boss Qin, if you open a day later, you'll earn a lot less ghost money!"

"Exactly! Although Mr. Qin's boxed lunch is not bad, we'd also like to try ordering!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yunie considered it in her mind. She had spent almost all the money she had earned recently, and there wasn't much left. With the money she earned in the next few days, she could open a restaurant in a storefront. She wasn't in a hurry to buy a house, since she already had a house. Even if she had to wait ten or eight years in the underworld, it wouldn't be a problem.

The key point is that many wealthy ghosts in the underworld actually prefer to order food. She remembers several customers who come to buy boxed meals almost every day and ask when the restaurant will open every few days. However, Qin Yune didn't have enough money before, and later she spent all the money on protective talismans and the like.

This may be the downside of suddenly having money: it can lead to retaliatory spending, even though she buys things she thinks she needs.

Although she seems to have earned a lot of money during this period, she actually doesn't have much money in her pocket right now.

However, if she earns a few more days, she should be able to open a restaurant. If she's going to do it, she should do it big, a landmark store in the underworld, the first and only big and good store in the entire underworld.

Thinking of this, Qin Yunie no longer hesitated and immediately said, "Give me some more time. I still need to look for a shop, right? I want to open a bigger one. Can you help me keep an eye out for suitable shops? I'll try my best to open one!"

Her words immediately drew gasps from the ghosts, one of them exclaiming excitedly, "Boss Qin, are you telling the truth?!"

The other ghost chimed in, "Yeah, if it's true, we'll start promoting it for you!"

Qin Yunie nodded and said with utmost seriousness, "Of course, I've already said it. As long as the shop is settled, it will definitely open this month."

Upon hearing Qin Yunie's words, one of the ghosts immediately said excitedly, "Boss Qin, I do know a larger storefront, the location is alright, but the goods sold on the left and right sides might not be very good. It's located at the alley entrance opposite the main street, a two-story storefront, which used to sell clothes. I know the shop owner, and he said a while ago that he wanted to rent it out. If you see it and think it's suitable, I'll go and ask him for a discount."

Another ghost messenger chimed in, "I remember there are a few empty storefronts on Central Street, some of which are under the control of the Underworld. If you're interested, Mr. Qin, we can ask about the prices for you."

Qin Yunie responded with delight, "That's great, thank you so much!"

He waved the pastries in his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Qin, you're too kind. We should be thanking you. We've been craving these pastries for so long, and we never expected to get to eat them ourselves."

Qin Yunie was taken aback when she heard this, then remembered that she had just given some to the ghost guards at the entrance of the Yama's Palace. They must have told the other ghost guards about it. She nodded and said, "I'll make more next time."

Although the ghost messenger was present, he was the one eating the most at this moment, and immediately said, "Boss Qin, you can't be biased! Since you want to make more, why not make even more and make some for us too!"

"Yes! It looks so appetizing. I've never eaten such beautiful pastries before!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yunie was surprised that everyone praised the pastry so much. She immediately said, "I have some left on my food cart. I'll have Lin Sui take them out, cut them into small portions, and let everyone have a taste."

Upon hearing this, Lin Sui didn't say anything, but turned around and went to the dining car. Wang Meiling and Li Zihan also followed to help.

All the ghosts' eyes followed them to the food cart, looking on with longing, "We can actually eat pastries?!"

The other ghost, seeing so many pastries, was so tempted that it drooled, "They look delicious."

Before long, Lin Sui and the others brought out the cut portions. Each ghost could get a small piece. Although the portion was small, it was enough to get a taste.

The first ghost to eat it couldn't help but exclaim, "I never thought I'd get to eat the pastries I couldn't eat while I was alive, but now that I'm dead!"

"Yes, if this were in the past, I would never go into a store like this, I couldn't afford it."

"This tastes so good. It's a savory filling, but the outer layer is slightly sweet. They don't interfere with each other at all. The flavors are actually even better when they're combined."

"Boss Qin's skills are truly amazing. Whether it's dishes or pastries, they all taste so good."

Chatter could be heard from the ghost group, but it was all praise for Qin Yunie's pastries.

After finishing their snacks, many ghosts couldn't help but stare longingly at the small pieces of pastry that other ghosts had just received. Their fixed gazes made the ghosts who had just received the pastries feel uneasy, and they hurriedly stuffed the pastries into their mouths, as if they were afraid that if they were a second too slow, someone else would snatch them away.

"Boss Qin, when will you be able to start selling these pastries?" a ghost asked eagerly.

"Yeah, it's so small, I didn't even get to taste it before it was gone. Could you make more? I really want to buy ten or eight at once so I can eat my fill." Another ghost chimed in.

"This smells so tempting, it's making me really want to eat it," the ghost said.

At this moment, the two ghost messengers, because Qin Yunie had given each of them two or three pieces, were still slowly savoring their food while the other ghosts had finished eating.

This was quite alarming, immediately attracting the attention of all the ghosts.

All the ghosts' eyes were fixed on the two of them, their gazes almost tangible, as if they wanted to snatch the pastries from their hands.

The two ghost messengers sensed something was wrong. They abruptly stopped eating the pastries, quickly put the rest into the lunchbox, covered it completely, carefully tucked it into their bodies, and then glared back at them with stern faces: "What are you looking at!"

The other ghosts could only regretfully avert their gazes. If they weren't ghost messengers, they could have sneaked away quietly...

Ah... I'm so hungry... I really want to eat it...

Seeing this, Qin Yunie was both amused and exasperated. She had only thought that since they wanted to eat, she would share some with each ghost, but it seemed that things had gone wrong.

She immediately said, "I'll make more tomorrow, so that you can all buy some."

All the ghosts shouted excitedly, "Long live Boss Qin!!"

"May Mr. Qin's business prosper!"

While all the ghosts were excited, one ghost quietly glanced at the other excited ghosts and said to his companion, "Let's come earlier to line up tomorrow, otherwise we might not get any if we come late!"

His companion nodded vigorously, "That's what I think too!"
