Summary:

[This is a novel about food and mythical beasts in a catering business.]

In this modern era, where the once dissipated spiritual energy has revived, the newly awakened supernatural creatures were having a hard time. As mythical beast Pixiu, Luo Huai’an also has to work diligently. When she heard that a nearby university was recruiting cafeteria aunties, she touched her empty wallet and decided to apply.

She originally only wanted to apply for the position of cafeteria auntie, but after she cooked a meal, the person in charge was amazed and immediately asked her to operate the haunted Eighth Cafeteria herself. Being a boss should make more money than working for others! Luo Huai’an thought about it and agreed.

Let’s set a small goal first, and let all the teachers and students in the school spend their money at the Eighth Cafeteria every day!

————————————

When the Eighth Cafeteria opened, the foodies initially didn’t care.

“I was originally thrilled to get into the prestigious Aeronautics University, but after seeing the ant-steamed eggs, tomato-fried mooncakes, and strawberry roast duck being served in its seven cafeterias, I realized I was wrong to enroll here.”

“The haunted Eighth Cafeteria has opened! Other cafeterias charge money, but the Eighth Cafeteria will cost you your life.”

“I’m so pissed! Eighth Cafeteria, don’t even think about taking a penny out of my pocket!”

“But then, the food— they’re so delicious!”

“The pepper pancakes are so delicious! I was drooling even from the teaching building.”

“I ate four bowls of scallion oil noodles in a row. My mom didn’t even know I was such a big eater.”

“I never thought I’d have such delicious crab roe tofu at Aeronautics University! Is the boss a culinary god?”

============

Reading Guide:
1. The heroine is based on the Pixiu, a pixiu that takes money in but never gives out, making her a stingy boss. Readers who can’t accept this kind of character setting should refrain from reading.

2. The hero is mostly just a background character.

3. A large number of supernatural creatures from books like ‘Classic of Mountains and Seas’ and ‘Shenyijing’ will appear.

Translator’s Notes: This is from the same author as I Livestream Divination to the World. But instead of ghosts and fortune-telling, we get mythical beasts and cooking. If you enjoyed that work, I heartily recommend you also give this one a try.

While the character list would gradually look like a mythical bestiary, everyone will be walking around in human form. And the background lore for all these mythical beasts is fascinating.
