Who can relate? Jiang Tang, a socially anxious woman, wakes up one day to find she has transmigrated into ancient times and become the proprietress of a run-down little tavern!
Not only was her previous owner buried in debt, she had also driven off the only chef.
Gazing at the empty kitchen and the hungry diners waiting outside, Jiang Tang just wants to die on the spot and disappear.
The good news is that she has been bound to an Ancient Cuisine Management System.
The bad news is that the System's missions are bizarre. It keeps making her perform in public and awkwardly chat with strangers. It's a social-death scene every time!
To repay her debts and survive, Jiang Tang has no choice but to grit her teeth and get to work.
With the System's magical recipes and business tips, she cautiously introduces one creative modern dish after another:
spicy crayfish, iced milk tea, barbecue rice bowls...
The little tavern that was only meant to keep her afloat unexpectedly becomes the talk of the whole city, drawing in countless diners who come just to try it!
“Boss, your food is so delicious! Please, can I have another serving?”
“Boss Jiang, today's sweet-and-sour ribs are incredible! I declare you my goddess!”
“I heard the prince next door queued up three whole streets overnight for your Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!”
Jiang Tang: ...Help! I just wanted to be a quiet, socially anxious tavern owner. How did I become an ancient-world top-tier star in the restaurant business?! I must be doing this wrong! Σ( ° △ °|||)︴
The writing style is relatively immature, but the descriptions of the food are very detailed and made me a little hungry.
It's pretty good so far, it's pretty good to watch, and I'm looking forward to the follow-up.
