[No romance! Food novel, with surprise bonus updates from time to time!]
Qiu Haitang is the proprietress of the Qiu Family Eatery in Chang'an. On her first day in charge, she lucks into a System.
She isn't afraid of making enemies. While everyone else is still gnawing on steamed corn buns, she's already set up a stall selling chilled sour plum soup, earning a hundred copper coins a day!
While others are figuring out how to steam buns, she introduces spicy crayfish, with the line stretching to the end of the street!
A royal chef comes to challenge her? One spoonful of her secret sauce has him begging to become her disciple on the spot!
The powerful want to steal her recipes? Too bad for them: her customers can block the road all the way from the street to the government offices!
“Miss Haitang, do you have any new dishes today?”
Qiu Haitang wipes away her sweat and tosses the wok. “Just wait! Red-braised pork knuckle, Qin Town rice noodles, river-snail rice noodles... I guarantee you'll eat until you have to lean on the wall to get home!”
No melodramatic romance, just a symphony of pots, pans, and ladles!
Make money! Make food! Let the whole world know that Qiu Haitang's stove serves the finest flavors under heaven!
