Synopsis

Kuang Rui refuses to get caught up in the rat race and chooses to lie flat back in his hometown. He inherits his father’s braised meat shop and, after rejecting the rat race, gains a Food System. Together, they breathe new life into the shop. The humble home-cooked dishes that once went unnoticed are transformed into viral hits that customers flock to check in and try. Take steamed stinky tofu with minced meat, for example. It smells awful but tastes delicious, and one bite is enough to leave you craving more. Then there’s braised egg dumplings with yellow cabbage: tender and fragrant, they taste like home. And there’s rabbit diced and stir-fried in spicy sauce, along with pork stir-fried with chilies. Both are hot, numbing, and packed with flavor, with meat so tender you’ll be thinking about it long afterward. These signature dishes are ordered at almost every table, every day. Gradually, word gets around, and Kuang’s Braised Meat Shop becomes a famous local hotspot, packed with customers every day and busier than ever. The local travel agency recommends it to everyone: “If you ask us where you absolutely have to go when you visit, it’s definitely Boss Kuang’s shop. It’s number one!” Even the cast and crew of a celebrity drama find time to joke about it: “When it comes to boxed meals, our whole crew trusts Boss Kuang’s three dishes and a soup. Nothing else compares!” Even the road-planning department takes notice: “What do you mean, run-down neighborhood? This is prime real estate centered around Kuang’s Braised Meat Shop. You can’t build a cultural landmark without it!” Faced with all this, Kuang Rui calmly says, “Too far from the tourist attractions? Doesn’t matter! Kuang’s Braised Meat Shop is a stunning attraction in its own right!” The story and its characters are entirely fictional. Any resemblance to actual people or events is purely coincidental. Please do not imitate.

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.

Food Novels, But Not Ones Where the System Just Hands Out Recipes

I don't want stories where the System gives the protagonist individual recipes and they can only cook those dishes. I want a proper chef and food story.
