[Historical Fiction Contest Entry]
Chef Yuan Zhou transmigrates to the late Northern Song Dynasty. In four years, Jin armies will march south, and their iron hooves will trample the Northern Song’s prosperous dream.
Yuan Zhou plans to keep a low profile, earn money steadily, and then buy a plot of land in Hangzhou ahead of time with his child bride and good-for-nothing younger brother, settling down as a small landowner. But a man who can cook is irresistible, and in Bianjing, where cooks are everywhere and food lovers are a dime a dozen, Yuan Zhou thrives.
Emperor Huizong of Song keeps dropping by Yuan Zhou’s pancake shop, demanding hot pot in the middle of summer and insisting that nothing goes better with it than shaved-ice jelly.
Li Shishi, the celebrated beauty of the capital, is always pestering Yuan Zhou, claiming her heart aches and she needs the handmade cream ice cream he makes to quench her thirst and beat the heat.
Yue Fei, the national hero, is still a painfully edgy teenager at this point, and comes to mooch off Yuan Zhou every single day!
Even Grand Marshal Gao, the best at cuju and the most fashionably dressed, has started learning rap from Yuan Zhou: “Yo, yo, check it out! Pancakes, hot off the griddle!”
Yuan Zhou can only say: “Trying to lead this bunch of foodies against the Jin is so hard!”
The logical thinking of the whole book is good and some of the food recipes are very reasonable. However, the ending is a bit sloppy and I hope the author can improve it slowly.
Not bad, not bad. The only problem is that as for the ingredients and seasonings, ordinary people couldn't afford honey at that time. Carrots seemed to have been introduced from Qingzhong, and 10 grams of pepper was enough for a house. The Heshen family found a large amount of pepper, which could be worth millions of taels of gold.
So-so, it was actually Yue Buqun and Lin Pingzhi.
The front is pretty good, but half of it is no longer busy.
It's a fake book, so I'll give it one star.
