Siheyuan: The Chef Rises and Crushes the Whole Yard of Beasts

After transmigrating to the Siheyuan, he becomes a junior cook in the steel mill's kitchen. Li Shengli has no connections or backing, but he has a real talent for cooking. As a successor to imperial chefs, he can make even cornbread and cabbage taste like meat with a few quick turns of his spatula.

Jia Dongxu is down, and Qin Huairu wails as if the sky is falling. Silly Zhu has a foul mouth that annoys the whole courtyard. Third Master Yan schemes about everything, not even sparing the fish guts. First Master Yi talks endlessly about benevolence, but all he really thinks about is securing his old age. Li Shengli watches this pack of animals coolly, making no fuss and quietly living well. Today he stews a fish, tomorrow he cures some meat, and the day after he takes a side job to earn extra cash. The whole courtyard drools with envy, but not one person dares reach for his food.

While others fight over a bite to eat, he has already built up his savings and secured his place. Yan Bugui wants to mooch some fish soup? No chance. Qin Huairu wants to borrow grain? She can figure it out herself. First Master Yi wants to use him as a pawn? Sorry, he's not falling for that.

A cook holds the ladle, and the pot holds the riches. In this age of hunger, Li Shengli uses his culinary skills to outclass the whole courtyard, becoming the one everyone envies most. The Siheyuan's dramas? Nothing more than a wisp of cooking smoke by his stove.
