Laravel eloquent is very slow when joining two models - laravel

Question

There is a model Invoice which equals to a purchase basket and model InvoiceItem which stores items inside a specific invoice. The model invoice has status field, if its value is 2999 and someone has verified it, it is successful. I need to get invoice items which are sold. Here is codes:
class Invoice extends Model
{
protected $fillable = [];
protected $table = 'payment_invoices';
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class, 'user_id');
}
public function scopeSuccessful($query)
{
return $query->where('status', 2999)->where('verified_at', '<>', null);
}
}
and
class InvoiceItem extends Model
{
protected $fillable = [];
protected $table = 'payment_invoice_items';
public function invoice()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Invoice::class, 'invoice_id');
}
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class, 'user_id');
}
public function vendor()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Vendor::class, 'vendor_id');
}
public function scopeNotDeleted($query)
{
return $query->where('deleted_at', null);
}
public function scopeSold($query)
{
return $query->notDeleted()->whereHas('invoice', function ($q) {
$q->successful();
});
}
}
The following statement
InvoiceItem::sold()->take(10)->get()
returns 10 sold items but it is very slow. it takes about 4 seconds to retrieve the information while the query
select *
from laravel.payment_invoice_items pii
join laravel.payment_invoices pi
on pi.id = pii.invoice_id
and pii.deleted_at isnull
and pi.status=2999
and pi.verified_at notnull
limit 10
takes about 800 milliseconds. Eloquent is very inefficient. Is there any solution to use the eloquent and get the same efficiency here?
