Upon hearing this, the ghosts burst into laughter and said, "Yes, yes, this is a legitimate stall, the food is delicious, and it's unique."
Qin Yune looked at the child who looked quite young. His clothes were old but clean, indicating that although his family was not wealthy, his mother did her best to make his life better.
She asked softly, "Do you want a boxed lunch?"
The child nodded, "Yes..."
He asked hesitantly, "How much is a boxed lunch? I might not have that much money..."
Qin Yune approached, bent down, and patiently asked, "12 yuan a serving. Little friend, are you eating this by yourself?"
The child shook his head. "No, my mom is going to be reincarnated tomorrow. She's never had a full meal before. I heard from the uncle in the same room that you sell boxed meals here, so she can have a good meal before she's reincarnated."
The ghosts present, regardless of gender, were all quite old. The youngest was someone who had just offered himself for a job, while the others were almost all in their twenties or thirties, or older.
Almost every family, regardless of size, has children, and hearing him say this always moves people.
One of the female ghosts, who was in her early thirties, said with red eyes, "Boss, I'll pay for the lunchbox this kid wanted. I'll buy it for him."
She was only this young when she died, and seeing this child now immediately reminded her of her own child.
"Yes, it's on our side. Let his mother eat her fill before she can be reincarnated."
The child was startled, but after realizing they were all kind-hearted, he quickly bowed and thanked them, saying, "Thank you, uncles and aunties."
Holding up the few remaining coins he had made for the dead, he grinned, revealing his gap-toothed mouth, and said, "I have money. I want to buy it for my mother myself."
He turned and handed the money to Qin Yune, "Auntie, could I have a boxed lunch?"
Qin Yunie felt a lump in her throat. She took the money, nodded, and went back to the stall to get two full boxed lunches, filling each dish to the brim. She then handed them to him, saying, "Today, boxed lunches are buy one get one free. Here are your two boxed lunches."
He took the lunchbox and said with a smile, "Thank you, Auntie."
Then he carried the two boxed meals back home.
A female ghost in her twenties wiped her eyes and said, "I'm too old to watch such sentimental scenes."
After looking at her for a few seconds, the male ghost next to her couldn't help but say, "You don't have any tears in your eyes, you don't need to wipe them."
The female ghost: "..."
She rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.
He was a straight man in life, and he won't become romantic even after death.
Qin Yunie, who had just been feeling a little sour, was instantly amused by the two of them.
The other ghosts couldn't help but laugh.
For a moment, it dispelled some of the heaviness from before.
After selling out of boxed lunches, Qin Yune calculated his earnings for the day and discovered that he had surpassed his previous highest earnings, reaching 5,000 yuan!
This is real, solid income for a day!
With an exchange rate of eight times, her income for just one day was a whopping 40,000 RMB!
Qin Yu Nie's peach blossom eyes gleamed; making money was so satisfying! Making money made her happy!
She radiated joy and happiness from head to toe, even down to the last strand of her hair!
She grinned happily, humming a little tune as she went across the street to deposit the money.
What if such a large sum of money is lost?
...
Xiao Nie carried the boxed lunch to Grape Monster's house. Grape Monster lived in a well-known wealthy area of the underworld, in a two-story villa. Although it was not as big as when he was alive, this small house alone would cost twenty or thirty million.
Most of the people living here are quite wealthy.
Xiao Nie delivered the boxed lunch to the villa's entrance before calling Grape Monster.
The grape monster hurriedly came downstairs to get it.
An aged yet powerful voice rang out from behind, "Where are you in such a hurry to go?"
Grape Monster turned his head in surprise, "Great-Grandpa, you didn't go for a walk today?"
The old man, with his hands behind his back, slowly complained, "They went to play chess. I was bored, so I came back first. They're bad at chess but love to play."
The grape-shaped man's strange name is Li Ming, and the little old man behind him is his great-grandfather. Currently, only the two of them live in this villa.
Grandpa Li loved playing chess, but the other old men in the neighborhood weren't very good at it, though they all enjoyed playing. Grandpa Li wasn't too keen on watching these novices compete against each other.
Li Ming was both amused and exasperated, but didn't join in the complaints. "I'll go get something from the door first."
Grandpa Li waved his hand, "Go on, go on."
Li Ming returned with a boxed lunch less than two minutes after he went out. Grandpa Li was making tea and didn't even glance at him.
He raised an eyebrow, not wanting to disturb the old man, and instead walked to the dining table, opening the lunchbox with a few deft movements.
Today's boxed lunch consisted of braised pork, eggplant with garlic sauce, and shredded potatoes and carrots. He specially ordered the braised pork because the old man has no teeth and can only eat soft, tender food.
When he ordered yesterday, he specifically asked the owner to stew it for a longer time so that it would melt in his mouth.
The moment he opened it, the irresistible aroma of braised pork filled the entire room.
Grandpa Li smelled the aroma and took a deep sniff. "Braised pork?"
Li Ming poured out the liquor again. Grandpa Li suddenly looked in his great-grandson's direction, a glint of light flashing in his cloudy eyes, "Where did you get this food? There's even liquor in it!"
Li Ming smiled knowingly and raised his wine glass. "Great-Grandpa, would you like a drink?"
"A new food stall has opened in the underworld, and I specifically asked them to deliver two meals. I didn't expect that they would have alcohol today, so I asked the owner to also deliver a bottle of baijiu, a bottle of beer, and some peanuts."
The old man stopped fussing over his tea, walked straight to the dining table, picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the braised pork melting in his mouth. The taste of the braised pork instantly filled his mouth. He exclaimed, "I haven't had a bite of braised pork in so many years."
He then picked up the glass of wine that Li Ming had just poured and placed in front of him, took a sip, and said, "Tsk~ That's good."
Seeing this, the old man picked up another piece of braised pork with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. "Mmm, this is the taste. This braised pork tastes like the best restaurant back then. You have no idea how good their food was back then, how popular it was. You had to queue up to eat there. In our time, being able to treat someone to a meal there was something to brag about."
"It's easy to make this braised pork, but to achieve this level of flavor requires more than ten years of experience. This owner is really something."
The old man became quite talkative when it came to food.
Li Mingguang heard the old man talk about it and was so tempted that he immediately picked up a piece of braised pork with his chopsticks. He found it delicious and picked up several more pieces. It really tasted great.
The old man looked at him, as if he hadn't eaten for centuries, and wanted to say something to him, but then, as if remembering something, he frowned and said, "With this kind of skill, you're just setting up a stall to sell boxed lunches?"
