Name: Gourmet: You Hired Me as a Security Guard, So Why Am I Making the Residents Drool?
Author: Fu Xiaola

Synopsis

[Gourmet + System + no romance + cooking competitions + lighthearted daily life]

In his previous life, Liu Ran was a programmer who worked around the clock. He died suddenly on his twenty-fifth birthday and was reborn just as he was graduating and looking for a job. This time, he decides to skip thirty years of struggle: he’ll become a security guard right after graduation and laze around!

But the Gourmet System intervenes and changes the life he had planned for himself.

From the triple-combo rice rolls, Dongpo pork, and bear-shaped cookies that drive the residents wild, to lucky dumplings, rose soy-sauce chicken, and sweet-and-sour pineapple pork that make his coworkers fall in love with the cafeteria food…

“Common folk lead humble lives, buffeted by every flavor under heaven.”

In a life where he can see no light, watch as he uses one delicious dish after another to heal those who have been hurt inside.

He thinks he’ll spend his days enjoying these simple yet wonderful dishes,

but then there’s the mysterious System, his missing grandfather, and the legendary kitchenware…

When a genius chef from Mihua Country provokes him, he accepts the challenge of the King of Chefs competition and climbs step by step to the top!

“Open your eyes and take a good look! This is the food of our Huaguo!”
