My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

The ghost saw an adorable orange cat talking to it, and its heart softened instantly.

The things in the underworld look so scary, but the appearance of Shan Nai makes the humanoid ghosts feel very familiar.

"I've eaten it, and I especially loved it." The ghost tried to force a smile, but it had suffered too much before its death, and it seemed unable to smile no matter what.

Shannai pointed to the soup pot, "10 coins each, want some?"

The departed soul nodded, then quickly shook its head, "Never mind, I can't even afford the Meng Po soup..."

Shan Nai was shocked. "Tell your family to burn paper money for you, oops, send you money!"

"Oh...? You can do that..." The ghost fell into deep thought.

It had some coins when it first died, but it used them all up without anyone noticing.

"If they don't send it to me..."

"Then you should scare them to death in their dreams!!" Shan Nai waved her cat paws, baring her teeth and looking fierce.

The departed soul seemed to understand, and thought that Shan Nai was right. "Okay, I'll go to the Dream Tower right now!" This time, I'll ask for more money so that I'll have extra money to buy Meng Po soup.

It was already past the end of the underworld's working hours, and the sky was getting darker and darker.

More and more customers were coming to the mala tang stall, and the first batch of ingredients was almost sold out. Shan Nai hurriedly opened her spatial warehouse to see if the item box had been refreshed.

"Haha, it's true that you can only refresh the page after you sell it!"

Shan Nai simply placed the ingredient and utensil boxes on the empty shelf under the Mala Tang cart so that it would be convenient to restock.

Fortunately, I had already exchanged items with the other two hosts. If the items I picked up were too mixed up, they would not have sold very quickly.

This is a timed competition to earn points; it's not enough to just sell a lot, you also have to sell quickly.

One cat was clearly not enough for her, so she specially went to the Underworld Street to hire a few cowards and bought firewood. Small chores like chopping vegetables and washing dishes were left to the cowards.

The cowards were long and gourd-shaped, even smaller than the current orange cat Shan Nai, making them perfect for huddling under the hot pot cart and helping out.

Her job was to continue promoting the spicy hot pot stall in crowded places like the outskirts of the Senluo Palace, Huangquan Street, and around the Wangxiangtai.

After wandering around for a while, Shannai was a little tired and decided to head back.

Along the way, many curious people were already walking in twos and threes towards the Naihe Bridge.

"Have you heard? The queue at the Bridge of Helplessness stretches all the way to the beach of the River of Oblivion!"

"When did Meng Po's soup become so delicious? Or are all the souls of the dead in today's world in such a hurry to be reincarnated?"

"No, no, who drinks Meng Po soup? It's just that a mala tang (spicy hot pot) stall opened next to Meng Po soup! Mala tang... isn't that a weird name?"

"Oh... let's go try it!"

The bluebird and the siren walked hand in hand, chatting as they went.

This made the little black and white dogs standing to the side very itchy.

"Malatang? I remember it's a kind of snack in the human world. Who in our underworld knows how to make that stuff?" Xiao Hei frowned, indicating disbelief.

Xiao Bai patted his shoulder and pointed towards the Bridge of Helplessness, "Open your eyes and look, you can see the queue from here. It's not just number 1, many parallel numbers have this snack, I love it too, I'm going to buy some!"

Shannai sat on a large willow tree, wagging her little tail. "Meow meow meow, there are number plates in the human world, how amazing~"

As more and more people gathered at the mala tang stall, Shan Nai hurriedly went back to help.

Because so many customers came to try it, Meng Po couldn't help but come over and lend a hand. As the number of people flocked to her Meng Po soup increased dramatically, she sold a lot of bowls.

[Congratulations to host number 1105 for making it into the top 100 and receiving the only intelligent upgrade.]

Upon hearing this notification, Yamana, who was collecting coins, paused in her actions and mentally confirmed the upgrade.

It turns out the top 100 have another chance to upgrade, that's great!

The Mala Tang (spicy hot pot) cart has been improved and refined in an instant, with an automatic heating stove added to the bottom.

There are two extra compartments on the left for sesame paste and chopped green onions and cilantro, and the ingredients also include meat rolls and tripe!

A dozen folding stools have appeared in the cart rack.

Shan Nai looked at the folding stool and pouted, "The stool is a bit of a gimmick, isn't it? When there are a lot of people, it's better to eat standing up."

But Shan Nai still brought out stools so that customers who were choosing mala tang could sit around the cart.

"Huh? Is this meat slices? Why weren't there any before!"

The one speaking was Xiao Hei, who was choosing his dishes. He had been waiting in line for a long time, and it was finally his turn.

One second there were no meat rolls, and in the blink of an eye there were tons!

"Ah...it might have just been turned over at the bottom of the pot, hehe, there's even tripe!" Shan Nai stretched out her cat paw and rubbed her face.

Xiao Hei nodded and scooped meat rolls and tripe into the bowl.

He had seen this snack on the roadside when he went up to pick up people before. It was something that humans loved to eat, and he had always wanted to try it, but he never had the chance.

I never imagined I'd be able to enjoy a bowl of piping hot mala tang on my own turf today!

The underworld is cold and damp all year round. Many diners who finish eating mala tang (a type of spicy hot pot) exclaim that their whole body feels hot and burning. They haven't felt their own body temperature for many years and find it very rare.

The later it gets, the more lively it becomes, with the long queues continuing to grow. Everyone who's tried Qiaotou Malatang says it's amazing!

The three mischievous brothers and the gluttonous ghost also got the news, and together they sneaked to the Bridge of Helplessness to cause trouble, do evil, and get free food.

They deliberately disrupted the long queue, cutting in line and causing trouble. Because the three mischievous brothers were small and could hide, they were extremely difficult to catch, which angered many people, and some even refused to queue to go home.

"Boss, the glutton is relatively easy to deal with; as long as there's something good to eat, it'll behave. But the troublemaker is..." The cowards hung their heads, speaking in hushed tones.

The cowards are very well-informed; Yamana had already received news from the troublemakers after the loud commotion at the back of the group.

"I'll go check the situation. You guys keep an eye on the stall." Shan Nai's green eyes lit up, filled with murderous intent.

She wanted to see who would try to ruin her money-making competition!

The local street official just came and collected the stall management fee, protection fee, and garbage fee. Her business is legal and compliant!

Meng Po grabbed her little soft hand, blinked at her, and stuffed a pink token into her palm. "Here's your identity token, sister. If you're in danger, you can use it to call me. Be careful."

Shan Nai's big eyes suddenly became as round as a full moon. She looked up and met Meng Po's eyes, which were as clear as autumn water. Her ears were soft and her little mouth trembled.

I love Sister Meng Po so much! She's so gentle!

"Thank you, sister." Shan Nai tilted her head, her round eyes looking incredibly cute.

After saying that, she took out a small harpoon and ran away at full speed.

Meng Po watched as a large orange cat ran away with a harpoon in hand, a sight that melted her heart.

Several ghosts were causing trouble in the group, so they weren't hard to find.

"You guys come here for a second." Shan Nai held a harpoon in one claw and beckoned to them with the other.

The gluttonous creature was a chubby little thing that made the ground shake when it walked, but it was the most obedient. It waddled over and asked, "Is there anything delicious?"

"Yes, do you have any coins?" Shanna asked, looking up.

"Yes, I have some!" The gluttonous ghost produced several bills from who-knows-where, and the amount was not small.

Shanna curled her lips into a smile, revealing her sharp upper canines, and nodded. "If you line up properly, you're guaranteed to eat the most beautiful and unique food. If you don't line up properly, you won't get a single bite!"
