Magic Land: I Make It Big as a Gourmet Food Supplier! Chapter 10

“Are you really willing to take over this stall?”

Lin Qi’s expression was very determined as he kept nodding his head. “That’s right, I have ten gold coins here. Do you think you can sell this stall to me?”

“Ten gold coins?”

When the owner heard this, his face immediately broke into a smile as he hurriedly nodded his head. “Alright, I can give you everything here!”

After the two of them established a contract, Lin Qi immediately became one of the vendors in the food street.

“Oh? Isn’t that Young Master Lin?”

Before Lin Qi could open his business, Lewis had already brought a few other young heirs over. All of them were stunned that Lin Qi now owns a stall.

“It can’t be? Lin Qi, why are you setting up a stall here?” Lewis observed his stall in an exaggerated manner.

Lin Qi had really bought the stall! There were even leftover roasted drumsticks.

“Hey, everybody! Come and take a look!”

Lewis wanted to let everyone know.

Yu Meng also heard the commotion and followed the crowd to surround the stall.

Facing the crowd, Lin Qi leaned against the wall of the stall as if nothing out-of-the-ordinary had happened and sighed.

‘These people had no sense of propriety.’ Lin Qi thought to himself exasperatedly.

“Lin Qi, did your family go bankrupt, or did someone steal from you? Why are you suddenly setting up a stall to sell roasted drumsticks?”

“Is it really that strange?”

Lin Qi replied indifferently, “I’m not like you who only knows how to spend the money given by his family. I’m truly self-sufficient.”

Those words struck a nerve with all the heirs as they were all pampered by their families. Everything they had was handed to them on a silver platter.

“If you don’t want to buy anything then leave. Just don’t block my business!” chided Lin Qi.

“Hmph, it’s obvious why the Young Master of the Lin family is setting up a stall. You’re broke! How embarrassing!”

After Lewis spat out those words, he turned around and left abruptly. The other heirs followed behind him and left as well.

The crowd slowly dispersed. Only Yu Meng was still looking at Lin Qi with a puzzled expression.

As a fairly knowledgeable person, she knew that as the Young Master of the Lin family, Lin Qi would not lack money unless he was urgently in need of a lot of it.

However, they were in the middle of the trial. Why would he still need money?

“Hey! What would you like to eat?”

Suddenly, Lin Qi’s voice pulled her back into reality.

“Huh?” She subconsciously responded.

She thought for a moment before asking, “That… Do you still have that sweet potato?”

“Oh! That Magic Sweet Potato, Yes, I do!”

Lin Qi deliberately turned around and retrieved the Magic Sweet Potato from the system. He then put it into the oven and heated it for a while.

“Here, take it!”

Yu Meng took the Magic Sweet Potato. She was not sure if it could really restore magic energy, so she planned to test it again this time.

She took a small bite. It was smooth and melted in her mouth.

Then, she felt the magic energy in her body surging again. It was certain that it was a mana-restoring artifact.

As for why it was a sweet potato, she had no clue.

“How much is this sweet potato?”

Lin Qi tapped his chin and realized that he had not set a price for his food yet.

His stall was bought for ten gold coins, and 100 silver coins equated to one gold coin, so the price of that sweet potato should be just a few silver coins.

“Let’s say it’s three silver coins for you!”

“What?”

Yu Meng was dumbfounded. Normally, that kind of mana-restoring artifact was very rare, and the rarer the item, the more expensive it would be. Even in the hands of some orthodox merchants, those artifacts were sold for almost ten to twenty gold coins一some profiteers would even sell those artifacts for more than fifty gold coins.

On the contrary, Lin Qi only wanted three silver coins? Was there something wrong with his brain? Was he trying to be a philanthropist?

“Lin Qi, are you sure this sweet potato is three silver coins?” Yu Meng asked again.

“Hold on, Yu Meng, do you think it’s too expensive?”

Lin Qi’s words made Yu Meng dizzy.

“Forget it. I can’t communicate with people like you. Give me ten sweet potatoes!”

Lin Qi was stunned and smiled bitterly. “This girl…”

Ten sweet potatoes were 30 silver coins. That was Lin Qi’s first profit.

However, sweet potatoes alone were not enough to set up a stall. He needed other dishes.

Lin Qi acquired a wooden board and wrote down the menu with some chalk.

“Magic Sweet Potato, Grilled Steak, Sweet Chicken Drumstick.”

Those were the dishes that his system could cook at the moment. The rest needed to be unlocked by upgrading the system.

2

Just like that, he started to set up a stall to sell food.

There were many nobles living in that small city. The Chi Zhong City was close to the central city, and because nobles liked to live among their fellow upper-class members, there were quite a few nobles appearing in the city from time to time.

However, the nobles generally did not like the food sold in these stalls. For them, enjoying the food in high-class restaurants was the best choice.

Most of the people who came to these stalls to eat were commoners.

The commoners naturally would not care about the specialties of the food in Lin Qi’s stall. To them, as long as it was delicious, that was enough.

However, it had to be said that because Lin Qi’s system had its own seasoning, it gave the food an aroma that drifted near and far一attracting many customers.

Among the dishes sold, the most popular one was his Grilled Steak. It could be said that he received a multitude of praises due to his mouth-watering steak. People’s eyes widened after eating it as if they were savoring a rare delicacy.

Even so, the speed at which he was earning money was still too slow. At that rate, it was likely that he would have to operate the stall for eight to ten more days while feeling unsure whether he could collect enough money to level up his system by then.

At noon, the sun was high in the sky.

Lin Qi’s stall was under the shade of a big tree. Although there were a few passing breezes, it was still very hot.

His gaze swept across the empty street and he leaned against the big tree. He helplessly said in a soft voice, “Sigh, running a business is hard work!”

Even though his food was delicious, it was quite annoying that not many customers took the initiative to try his food.

Just as he sighed once more, a slender figure suddenly entered his line of sight.

Not far in front of him, a woman in a red dress was talking to a few heirs with a seductive smile. Her voluptuous body, wrapped in a red dress, was faintly discernible from the distance. Lin Qi could not help but swallow his saliva.

That was the first time Lin Qi had seen such a beautiful woman. Immediately, his heart started to beat faster.

At that moment, he secretly muttered to himself. “What a fine woman.”

Just as Lin Qi’s gaze was hooked on the woman, a voice hollered at him, “Hey young man, are you still selling those sweet potatoes?”

“Ah?” Lin Qi immediately reacted.

He blinked and reluctantly looked away.. He turned to look at the man who was about to buy sweet potatoes from him.
