I sell lunch boxes in the underworld

Chapter 25 Extraordinary Talent

Li Ming explained, "Well, she said that since she's alone, she'd be too tired to handle all the orders. She said boxed meals are the easiest to accept and can be prepared faster."

He hesitated and said, "But, Great Grandpa, are you sure it takes more than ten years to make this taste?"

The old man took a sip of his wine as he spoke. "Even if you're gifted, controlling the heat isn't easy. Look at the knife skills and the ingredients. The meat is a mixture of fat and lean. Too much fat would make it greasy, too much lean and tough. But this braised pork is rich but not greasy, and melts in your mouth."

Li Ming frowned and said, "That's not right. The boss is a young girl who looks no more than 20 years old."

"Cough cough cough..."

The old man choked when he wasn't paying attention. He widened his eyes in surprise and said, "What did you say? This was done by a girl in her early twenties?"

Seeing that the old man was choked by his words, Li Ming said innocently, "Yes, that's why I asked you if it really takes so long to make braised pork like this."

For a moment, the old man was silent.

After a long while, he finally managed to say, "Maybe he really is gifted and was born to be a chef."

Li Ming put a piece of braised pork in his mouth and said with a smile, "So, I made a profit. I spent a hundred yuan to order such a portion of braised pork."

The old man ate two pieces of braised pork with some regret, "With this skill, she can open a good restaurant in the underworld."

"Grandpa, do you think opening a restaurant is that easy? Renting a storefront, decorating it, hiring waiters, chefs, and so on, all require considerable expenses. Since the girl chose to sell boxed lunches, it's probably because it's too tiring to do it alone, and secondly, it's probably because she doesn't have enough funds."

Li Ming thought about what happened yesterday, "Based on my dealings with her yesterday, she probably won't accept the investment."

The old man didn't say anything more. Everyone has their own aspirations. If the cook is in a good mood, the food will taste better.

The old man went to the kitchen to get a plate, poured the braised pork into it, simply arranged the dish, took a photo and sent it to his group of old friends.

Happy: ["Picture"]

Lehehe: [Xiao Ming is such a jerk! He said I hadn't had braised pork in ages, and he insisted on buying me some. Knowing I have bad teeth, he even had the boss stew it longer. This wine tastes a little off, but I'll just have it.]

A cup of Erguotou: [……]

Tomorrow's first: [Old Li! You eat alone!]

Hum: [That's right! You don't share your delicious food with us!]

After the old man sent the message, he stopped looking at the group messages. The grandfather and grandson exchanged messages, one after another, without caring how much impact his picture had in the group.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on their door.

"Old Li, open the door! Don't hide in there silently! I know you are in there!"

When the old man heard the voice, his face changed.

Li Ming looked towards the door and said, "Great Grandpa, it's Grandpa Xu."

The old man said angrily: "I know, why did you come so quickly!"

Then he looked at the plate with a few pieces of braised pork left and stuffed them into his mouth in a few gulps.

Because he ate too much at once, his mouth couldn't hold it any more and a piece almost fell out. He puffed his mouth and chewed the braised pork with great effort, then drank the wine in one gulp.

Li Ming, who was watching the whole process: "..."

He lowered his eyes to look at the little food left in front of him. When he was wondering what to do with it, his great-grandfather directly picked up the braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth.

He didn't stop until his mouth was full. When he had almost finished chewing, he picked up other dishes and stuffed them into his mouth.

Finally, he poured the beer into his mouth and then got up to open the door for Old Man Xu.

Old Man Xu saw Old Man Li frowning and said, "Why did you open the door so late? Where's the wine? Let me have a sip. I see there's braised pork and peanuts."

Old Li said, "You are late. We have already finished eating."

"Impossible, I came here immediately as soon as I saw the picture you sent." Old man Xu said as he walked in.

When I got inside, I saw Li Ming's slightly puffy mouth with a suspicious mark at the corner of his mouth, and the empty plate in front of him: "..."

He picked up the wine glass on the table and found it was empty.

Old Man Xu's eyes widened as he shouted angrily, "Old Li! Didn't I just say you're a terrible chess player and you're always regretting your moves, yet you refuse to admit it? Why are you so stingy?"

Old Li, as if his tail had been stepped on, immediately retorted, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't do that. It's obviously you guys who are bad at playing around, and you won't admit your loss!"

Old Li snorted twice, looking at Old Xu with a stern face and a stern face. "I'd rather throw it away than give it to you. What's wrong with that? My great-grandson bought it for me! If you're capable, ask your son to buy it for you!"

Grandpa Xu’s son was in a car accident and his legs were paralyzed. He died earlier than him.

Li Ming quickly pulled the old man, but the old man waved him away and said, "Don't worry about this."

Old Xu was furious, but he couldn't do anything about it. He turned to Li Ming and asked, "Xiao Ming, where did you buy this?"

Li Ming answered honestly, "Grandpa Xu, there's a new stall across from Tiandi Bank. There's a young girl selling lunch boxes there. But it's already this time today, she should have sold out and gone home."

For a moment, the two old men who were originally arguing with each other were attracted by his words.

Old Li: "A living person?"

Old Man Xu: "Setting up a stall in the underworld?"

After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and asked, "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

Li Ming said with a puzzled look, "How is that possible? Many ghosts in the underworld know about this now. If you want to eat it, you can buy it tomorrow."

Old Man Xu thought of the fragrance he had just smelled when he came in, and swallowed his saliva greedily. He glanced at Old Man Li and said, "Xiao Ming, when you buy it tomorrow, can you bring me a portion?"

Li Ming said under his great grandfather's eager gaze, "Grandpa Xu, the boss has a group. You can join the group and ask the boss to deliver it to you."

After he finished speaking, he took out his cell phone and invited Old Man Xu to join the group.

Seeing that his great-grandfather was also staring at him, he quickly invited his grandfather to join the group.

When Old Man Xu saw the invitation, he immediately clicked to join, and didn't forget to play a trick on Old Man Li. "Haha, thank you, Xiao Ming, for not being stingy and mean like your great grandfather."

Old Li said angrily, "I agreed to his invitation, and I have done my best!"

"Humph~"

Old man Xu turned his head and left.

Old Li looked at his back and paced the ground angrily with his cane.

Li Ming tried hard to minimize his presence, for fear of being implicated by his great-grandfather.

However, Old Li suddenly said out of nowhere, "Ask the boss if he can come to your house and cook a meal. The price is negotiable."
