Country Banquets, and You Say This Is a Siheyuan?

Xue Gui thought he had simply transmigrated to another world and bound himself to a banquet-cooking System. Since childhood, he had studied culinary skills under his father's guidance.

He mastered every technique, from frying and deep-frying to braising and stewing, and became the famous Chef Xue in the surrounding villages.

Just as his banquet business was booming, he also found love. The two of them hit it off at first sight.

After everything was over,

Xue Gui said, "We've gotten this far together, but I still don't even know your name."

The girl replied, "My name is Qin Huairu. I also have a nickname, Xiao Ru..."

Holy crap, guys! City people really know how to have fun. After all the hard work I put into saving up for a wife, you're telling me this is Love in the Courtyard?

So Xue Gui got angry and decided to lie flat. He moved out of his city home, sent Qin Huairu off to cook banquets, and had her braise pork knuckles during the day and "braise" him at night.

As for him, he slept until he woke naturally and lived a life where food was brought to him and clothes were put on his back.

People called him crazy and useless, but he only laughed at how the beasts couldn't see through his plan.
