Although it's described as an ancient Chinese novel, it's actually quite similar to running a restaurant in modern times. Normally, ancient times wouldn't have such a comprehensive selection of seasonings, but this one has everything. Ignoring these drawbacks, the story is generally good. Those who don't mind this kind of thing can give it a try.
The plot is fast-paced, and the female lead is constantly striving to improve her life, from a small stroller to a restaurant, creating a warm family atmosphere. Based on the synopsis, I expected scenes with a scumbag boyfriend repeatedly appearing, but her ex-fiancé disappeared quite quickly; the arranged marriage turned into a family reunion, and her fiancé became like an older brother.
This article is practically a poetry competition; almost every episode consists of poems praising food. It's more like a story than poetry, which really annoyed me, but it also shows the author's talent. 👍👍👍
A fairly standard food story, written with solid prose. It's short, but the plot is tight. There's a lot of description of food, but the overall flow isn't too overpowering. It's just that the ending feels unfinished.
The everyday life of the city soothes the soul; delicious food makes one forget their worries. 🍜🍜🍜 A gentle stream flows slowly, and love grows over time; a beautiful and virtuous woman is the object of a gentleman's affections. 🍒🍒🍒 The writing style is delicate, the food is tempting, and the author clearly did their research diligently, as the text includes many poems describing food.
It's a really good book, why are there so few reviews? Negative review. Now I know why there are so few reviews. It had a terrible ending. The author's writing was supposed to be very good, so can someone tell me what the princess's role was? I thought she would open a restaurant in the capital later on. The princess was foreshadowing, but it turned out she just loved to eat and that was it. And the emperor? Why is he portrayed as a wise ruler one minute and a mediocre one the next?
It's great! The family members aren't eccentric, the food is described in great detail, it's not too long, and it's a story about a female protagonist who leads her family to wealth through their own efforts without a system. It has a slow and steady feel, making it very comfortable to read.
The story itself is decent; it's a tale of a small family working together and struggling, without too many awful characters. However, the author uses a lot of descriptive passages—food, scenery, activities, and inner monologues—which are fine at first but become tedious after a while and negatively impact the reading experience, making it feel like reading an article rather than a novel. Nevertheless, the author's writing style is still commendable.
The writing was good, and the descriptions of various delicacies often made me get up in the middle of the night to have a late-night snack, but the ending was a bit sudden [what?].
The author's food descriptions are superb! The language is excellent; it's not just a rambling account. 😘
