Give Me Some Food Fiction About Street Stalls or Opening a Shop. No Starting Out With a Kid
No more child-rearing plots. I'm so sick of them. If it's a food story, just make it about food.
Any No-CP Farming, Business-Building, or Food Stories?
Whenever a story starts with romance or soft erotica, I feel like I'm going to be poisoned by it. Are there any stories focused on building a career, with a protagonist who's not too obnoxious or chuunibyou?

The female lead can cook all kinds of delicious food, a bit like Chinese Hero. She can explain each dish as she cooks. It doesn't have to be about competing with others or picking fights through cooking; running a restaurant or something is fine.

Mostly about food, farming, business, and running a street stall!! I want everyday life among ordinary people, small-time officials and modest households. No palaces, mansions, or palace and household intrigue!!

I haven't finished it yet. I feel like I'm getting to the top but I'm almost at the end of the chapters. I'm not sure if it's going to be unfinished. I'll review it after I've finished it. Let's talk about lunch boxes first. If you want to make hot pot and don't want to lose fast food, a box lunch costs 20-25 yuan. Ever considered the cost of snack boxes? You are talking about the kind of insulated iron boxes in Northeast China. Let's not talk about whether there was thermal insulation technology in that era. The iron box alone would not have cost 20 yuan. There are also some minor issues at the front. A pound of pork belly is 40 yuan, and a pair of pigs is 200 yuan. The key point is that pigs in water are things that even beggars don't want, so it's unreasonable for you to write a 200-piece article. 200 Wen can buy 5 pounds of pork belly. Who spends 200 to buy garbage that even beggars don't want? The other thing is fried chicken. A portion of fried chicken is 25 cents. A small rooster can be sold for 20 cents. So he only has 5 pieces of fried chicken, and a rooster has to be cut into 100 pieces. It's definitely unreasonable~ Except for some price collapse, everything else is fine. There are some modern jokes, but they are too natural and there is no embarrassment of being forced to be funny just because you want to be funny. I often laugh when I look at it, which is why I can continue to read it when prices have plummeted. There are very few intrigues, the family is harmonious, and it is relaxing, enjoyable and not nerve-wracking to watch. After reading it, it ended too hastily, and there are still many imaginable futures that need to be realized. All that should be written is 7788, and in the future it will be all about fighting for a better life. If you write more food or add more plots, it will become as stinky and long as most novels. But I haven't read enough yet. Alas, there are very few novels that are so light-hearted, brainless, and calculating~
The author's writing style is very good. It is a warm and delicious article. The heroine has a clear mind and her family gives her the greatest support✊. I recommend everyone to read it. I think the ending is just right, not too bad, and it is good to leave a suspense.
This novel is really good to read, there is no intrigue, and the whole article has a warm feeling, with small climaxes interspersed in the middle. The length of the novel is moderate, and it won't make people lose the desire to read it because it is too long. I stayed up late to read it, it was really good. ✌️︎(ᐛ)✌️︎
It's good-looking (。•ˇ‸ˇ•。) and the protagonist's family is also very warm.
At present, I read that the heroine just met a bunch of radishes. The impression after reading it is really good. There are not a bunch of top players at home at the beginning, and everyone has his or her own character. I don't know if there is a male protagonist at the moment. But I think the heroine is very charming, and I will like it even if it has no cp or an open ending. I just wish there was no balance. Read the comments section and say it's a bit unfinished. ? I haven't seen it yet, but I hope it will be a finale where everyone is happy, family, and friends are all present. Let me add it. I personally feel that over 4,000 pages of this novel is too little. It has just opened a store with more than 2,000 pages. I thought that the heroine would come up with more desserts and snacks and open more chain stores to enter the capital, but it doesn't seem to be what I thought. The ending felt a bit too rushed. Why
There is a feeling of unfinished business. Looking at the whole story, the family line is described quite naturally, and the emotional line is not forced. The focus is on career. It's pretty good to have a female protagonist with a food career as the main focus, beautiful relatives, and a silently protective male protagonist. The finale ended suddenly just when I thought the relationship between the male and female protagonists could begin. It still felt a bit pity, as there could still be a follow-up. Mrs. Song's twins were gone, Mei Ya's Shili Hongzhuang was gone, and the male protagonist's long journey to pursue his wife was not seen. Although it ended a bit quickly, I still like this natural career development and emotional line. The hard work of starting from a young person to get rich, and there is no abrupt plot, so the whole story is still very smooth [Love] [Love] [Love]
It's a good read. I'm currently preparing and promoting food while cooking. From food stalls to restaurants, life has become better. It's very warm. If you like this kind of article, you can read it. I think the score is only 6.7, And it doesn't feel like [blowing kisses]
It's good to watch. There are occasionally unreasonable and imperfect plots. The rest is very exciting. It made me hungry. It's just that there is no need to be too detailed in the preparation of the subsequent dishes. Because I know how to cook, I always feel that the process written in the book is not right. It is funny but normal. There are thousands of ways to cook and there is no standard answer, so there is no need to write down the preparation of the dishes in detail.
It feels okay, sometimes the description may be too exaggerated, but other times it feels good. Come on, look forward to what follows.
It's really good to watch. Although there is no particularly ups and downs in the plot, the daily life is also very good. Although the target is no cp, the heroine only has a peach blossom, but it is not clearly stated whether they are together. If the heroine does not make it clear The emotional line is even better. I also feel that there are a lot of holes in the story that have not been filled in. For example, the heroine's father became the richest man, the heroine's sister got married in the capital, and the ending is very rushed. But overall, it is a very good story, one of the best among the food stories I have read [Blow kiss]
