Synopsis

Worn out both mentally and physically by the cutthroat rat race in his industry, Chen Yuan returns to his hometown. He had planned to lie flat and live as a slacker, but the System forcibly binds itself to him. The System scans for available careers: village banquet chef, rural content creator, expert farmer, and rural Taobao partner. Before Chen Yuan can react, the System automatically selects village banquet chef, sending him off to cook up feasts in the countryside. Master Chen accidentally falls and gets injured, retiring on the spot. Chen Yuan takes up his mantle, and from then on, Chen Village has a new chef: Young Master Chen. Birthday banquets for the elderly, full-month celebrations, wedding feasts... Chen Yuan has every rural celebration and funeral feast under his spoon! Braised pork knuckles, Four-Joy meatballs, pork belly with preserved mustard greens, red-braised fish... He can whip up all kinds of banquet dishes without breaking a sweat. Every dish made by Young Master Chen is a feast for the eyes and the palate, leaving everyone clamoring for a taste. “Young Master Chen, before I go, I just want to eat at a banquet held in my own honor. Please, you have to grant my request.” “Ding! System task issued: Accept Yan Shuhua’s commission.” “Task description: Old Yan is turning sixty-six this year. All he wants is to attend a banquet held in his honor while he’s still alive. Young man, accept his request and arrange a special funeral banquet for Yan Shuhua.” “Accept?” Chen Yuan: “I accept!” To get their fill of banquet food, the whole village starts throwing feasts like crazy. Far from being unpopular, the trend catches on in a big way. “Honey, how about we work overtime tonight and make a second baby?” “What? Your sow just had ten piglets? We have to celebrate with ten tables of banquet food!” “Have some decency! Just because you want to eat at a feast, you’re pressuring me to get married?”

Looking for Food Novels! Incredible Cooking! Everything Looks Delicious!

Food novels! Modern-day or period settings are both fine. The protagonist should have amazing cooking skills, and running a street stall or opening a restaurant are both fine. I would like the process to be described in detail, preferably with food names as the chapter titles. Most importantly, there has to be a romantic pairing. I love watching other people fall in love, and romance and making money should both be part of the story.
