小饕餮开店日常

Little Taotie Yun Tao wakes up one day to find his powers out of whack. He’s stuck in his cub form, saddled with a weak and frail earth god as his guardian, and so broke he can’t even afford a decent meal.

Luckily, he binds to a half-broken system that lets him summon legendary figures from The Classic of Mountains and Seas (Shan Hai Jing) to help run a business.

For his very first draw, Yun Tao pulls a UR-tier rebellious employee—the notorious Tai Sui.

Tai Sui glares. “Brat, what the hell did you summon me for?”

“To help out at my restaurant,” Yun Tao replies in his sweetest, most innocent voice.

Tai Sui sneers. “Not happening.”

Yun Tao grins, flashing sharp little fangs as the shadow of a gluttonous beast looms behind him. “Then I’ll have to change your role… to ingredient.”

Tai Sui: “Boss! I’d be honored to work here! ^_^”

Soon, Blessed Carp Sashimi becomes the hottest new health food, Worry-Free Scallion Oil Noodles is a favorite among overworked office workers, and Taotie Delicacies draws crowds from far and wide—breathing life into the once-forgotten shopping street.

Not long after, Fei Fei’s Bakery, The Nine-Tailed Fox Flower Shop, Shan Hai Farm… one after another, more mystical stores pop up.

Business is booming, and Yun Tao can finally eat his fill. The only downside? As a rare and fluffy little glutton cub, he’s in constant danger of being cuddled bald by his overly enthusiastic employees.
