My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 1.1. Dinner at Midnight
Bang bang bang!
The loud banging on the door woke up the sleeping white fox, Yaoyao.

"Who is it? Can't people sleep in this cold winter weather?"

White Fox Yaoyao crawled out of bed with her hair all messy.

The knocking on the door continues.

A cold wind kept blowing in through the dilapidated window, and the white fox Yaoyao couldn't help but shiver.

This winter is really cold!
Reluctantly, Baihu Yaoyao dressed herself, her hair a mess, and yawned as she went down from the second floor.

Bang bang bang!
The knocking grew louder.

"Stop knocking! The door is already broken, and if you keep knocking, you'll break it down."

The white fox Yaoyao opened the drafty door and saw only two legs sticking out of the doorway.

I looked up and saw... holy crap!
Wow, that old man is so tall!
It looks about two meters tall!

Tall and big.

Her tiny frame made her look like a little potato standing in front of him.

When Shen Lao saw the white fox Yao Yao, he was startled; she was actually a human girl.

No! It should be described as a human cub.

Judging by his bone age, he's only fifteen years old. In the eyes of the demon race, isn't he just a cub?
"Greetings, young lady! Are you the owner of this place? I apologize for disturbing you so late at night, but may I have a meal here?"

The old man was very polite, bowing by patting his chest with his right hand.

"Oh dear! Get up quickly, why are you bowing like that!"

Bai Hu Yaoyao blinked. Why was he suddenly bowing to her?

"Thank you girl!"

The old man got up, walked into the restaurant by himself, and found a reasonably clean spot to sit down.

Bai Hu Yaoyao was puzzled. She looked at the snowy day outside and thought, "It seems to be past midnight. Is it the middle of the night?"
Who runs a restaurant that stays open late at night?

Besides, her shabby restaurant hasn't been open for several years, and now people are actually coming to eat there?

White Fox Yaoyao glanced at the dark street outside, covered in white snow, without a single ghost in sight. Where did this old man come from?

"No! Sir, why aren't you sleeping on such a cold night? You came out just to eat?"

"Besides, do you even have money to eat dressed like that?"

The white fox Yaoyao looked up at the old man.

No! It's an old man!

It wasn't that she looked down on the old man, it was just that his clothes and appearance were really not very nice.

The old man had a head of messy, white hair and his clothes were tattered.

This person doesn't look like a wealthy person at all.

It wasn't that she lacked compassion and couldn't bear to give the old man a bowl of rice; it was simply that she had no money!

"Silver? What is silver?" The old man blinked, looking completely bewildered.

In their demon realm, everything is bought with spirit stones.

What's going on with this restaurant?

Are you trying to get special treatment?

If he hadn't gone into the mountains to fight someone and chased that person for ten days and ten nights, he wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.

I was starving on the way back, and I saw a restaurant with its lights on late at night, so I went in.

Unexpectedly, the owner who opened the door for him turned out to be a human female cub.

This human girl looks quite clever; could she be mentally challenged?
In their demon realm, silver is considered worthless trash that nobody wants!

The old man slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing that the little cub was a human, and it was normal for it to want money.

But he had no money!
Bai Hu Yaoyao sighed, now certain that the old man was an idiot.

"Silver! It's the currency that can be used to buy and sell things. How can you eat if you don't have silver?"

She's so poor she's practically penniless; she doesn't have the kind heart to cook for others for free.

She herself is struggling to get enough to eat, okay?

The old man thought for a moment, then took out a thousand-year-old ginseng from his pocket.

"How about this as payment for the meal?"

"If possible, could you ask the men in your family to cook? I'm really hungry."

The girl in front of him was a young girl; he dared not let a woman cook for him.

In the demon race, making women cook and do chores is considered disrespectful and will be criticized, disliked, and punished.

As for using the ginseng as payment for his meals, it was because he had absolutely nothing else on him.

"Holy crap! This is ginseng? Is it real ginseng?"

The white fox Yaoyao's eyes lit up. Judging from the size of this ginseng, it was definitely over a thousand years old.

If this were sold, wouldn't it be worth several thousand taels of silver?
She quickly picked it up and held it protectively in her arms, afraid he would snatch it back. "I live alone, there's no other man in my house! You wait, I'll go make you some food right now!"

He dashed into the kitchen to check what vegetables were available.

Elder Shen: ...

Old Shen was dumbfounded. There were no men in this restaurant?

Would he have a woman cook for him?
Considering that this was a restaurant frequented by humans, he wasn't surprised.

Human women are not as delicate as the female demons; they can do business.

The white fox Yaoyao was as excited as if she had been injected with chicken blood.

Someone gave her a ginseng root, so she couldn't cook a meager meal.

In this dead of winter, apart from cabbage and beans, it's really hard to find any other green vegetables.

She opened a room where she had specially grown vegetables, including garlic sprouts and bean sprouts.

She assembled all these things little by little after she transmigrated here.

Want to open a restaurant? It's all for nothing if you don't have money to buy ingredients.

With no other option, she had to find her own way to create ingredients.

She then took out the two ounces of meat she had bought a couple of days ago.

They gave her such a large ginseng root; it wouldn't be excessive to prepare a huge feast for her.

She just didn't have enough ingredients, so she could only make what she had.

I took a head of cabbage, cut some yellow garlic sprouts, and grabbed a handful of bean sprouts.

I also plucked a sprig of cilantro from the ground in the backyard.

Cilantro is grown in the ground, so it's not afraid of snow; it can be eaten after a while.

Bai Hu Yaoyao first mixed eggs and dough and let it rest, she was going to make clear soup noodles later.

Cut the meat into pieces, tear the cabbage leaves into small pieces, and make a stir-fried cabbage with vinegar.

Garlic sprouts can be simply stir-fried.

I made a spicy and sour bean sprout dish.

She also skillfully prepared the egg noodles.

The noodles were as thin as silk, the chicken soup was clear, and a few sprigs of cilantro floated in the bowl.

The white fox Yaoyao carried the food to the front hall, saying, "Old man, are you getting impatient? My restaurant is simple, and this is all we serve."

By the time the food was laid out on the table, Old Man Shen was already drooling.

I never expected that the food this human girl could cook would smell so good!
"It smells so good! Your food makes my mouth water."

The old man picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

My eyes lit up after the first bite.

He has lived for thousands of years and has never eaten such delicious food.

The food looked simple, but it tasted delicious.

Old Shen devoured the food in a whirlwind, leaving the plate gleaming clean afterward.

Baihu Yaoyao was stunned. This old man eats way too fast!
How long has it been since you last ate?
The dishes she cooks are the simplest home-style dishes!

Is it so delicious?

Thinking of the unpalatable food in this world, she suddenly understood the old man's feelings.

She even felt a bit of sympathy for the people in this world.

They're so resilient!
The dishes she made looked simple, but they were all seasoned with her own special ingredients, making them far tastier than the food in this world.

"The food here is so delicious! I'll definitely come back again!"

"Here, take this. I see your hands and feet are frostbitten. You should take good care of yourself, little girl."

The old man wiped his mouth and left.

Before leaving, they gave Baihu Yaoyao a bottle of ointment for treating chilblains on her hands and feet.

Watching the old man walk out the door and disappear in the blink of an eye, I thought I was seeing things.

White Fox Yaoyao rubbed her eyes vigorously. "Are you seeing things?"

Did this person just vanish into thin air?
A new article has begun updating.

The setting in this story is purely fictional. Do not apply it to reality. Do not apply it to reality. Do not apply it to reality! I'm saying it three times because it's important.

This story doesn't have many outstanding characters, it's a slow burn, and it's not a pure farming story; it has fantasy elements.
