About This Novel

1920, San Francisco. Zhang Yi, who traveled through time and became a chef, took Ma Dongxi's physique and top-notch Chinese cooking skills to a restaurant on the verge of closure in Chinatown. This is the worst of times: Chinese people are walking on thin ice, being extorted double the protection fee, and the police's guns are always pointed at the foreheads of Orientals. The uncle is cowardly, his colleagues frame him, and the chef is alienated - do you want to rely on your cooking skills to make a living? Zhang Yi discovered that in this cannibalistic city, he had to first learn to reason with his fists. White people come to cause trouble? After beating him down, treat him to a bowl of ecstasy rice. A gang came to smash up the store? Even if he loses his limbs, he can still negotiate a bootlegging deal. Is the law a plaything of the powerful? Then turn congressmen into guests of Chinese food. When the "Peace Hotel" sign was erected at the busiest intersection in Los Angeles, everyone understood: The cooks here can cook dishes that save your life, or they can kill you.
