So far, the show is great, and the prices are stable. There aren't any outrageous 548 yuan set meals selling fried rice; the prices are normal, and the story consistently revolves around food without any strange interruptions. I hope the sequel will maintain the same high level of quality as the previous installments.
So beautiful! 👍👍 A carefree vendor set up a stall that made a bunch of girls drool. Chapter 65 is really funny 🤦🤦 Chapter 75 was hilarious too 🤦🤦 They really went through with the family reunion!
It's definitely an imitation of Boss Lin.
This is a very enjoyable and interesting novel about food stalls, especially the recent plot, which makes setting up a stall more challenging. It showcases the fresh talent of a new author; keep it up, and please update more often! Author, don't slack off! Keep updating! I believe this book will reach a wider audience. Two updates a day are still not enough. I've already recommended it to you in the book recommendation section.
It looks great, but do food stalls really need to be limited?
It's great! It's one of the few works that depicts female characters without making me feel uncomfortable! They all have an extreme craving for food! Author, please update more!
Recommended food review (a budget alternative to the egg burger) I previously read a book about the weekly random food stalls featuring egg burgers, but unfortunately, that book was finished. I couldn't get enough of it, and thankfully I found this one. This article likely came about after the egg burger became popular, riding the wave of its popularity. But this book is very well written.
I personally think it's quite good. The characters are vividly portrayed and very interesting. It's a nice food novel. Please let me know.
It's good, I really enjoy watching it, but this type of story is best enjoyed in one go, not for following along with other updates.
Oh my god, this is so good! 😂 Why is the rating so low? I've read several food-themed books, and this is the best one. Even though I've only read a few dozen chapters, I couldn't wait to leave a review. I love it! The author writes so well, and the male lead is a great character—cool yet gentle. I hope the later chapters won't disappoint. I'll leave another review after I finish reading.
