Synopsis

[Male protagonist + Coming-of-age + Golden finger + Food-focused story + A few awful characters early on]

He wakes up to find himself transmigrated into ancient times as Jiang Ling, the exceptionally handsome eldest son of a farming family. His father is drowning in gambling debts, his mother is bedridden with a serious illness, his older sister has been sold off as a sacrificial bride, and his younger siblings are starving and gaunt. He quietly brings out his golden finger: an all-purpose pocket dimension where he can trade for seasonings and exchange items for silver!

He could get by on his looks, but he’d rather make a living with his skills. He sets up a food stall and cooks up a storm, sending delicious aromas down the whole street. From a roadside stall to a chain of restaurants, he makes a fortune.

Just then, the imperial court announces a new policy: women can sit for the imperial exams and enter government service? Jiang Ling’s eyes light up. He does everything he can to support his clever younger sister’s studies, and she rises from the lower-level exams all the way to the palace exam, becoming a female top scholar!

His romantic luck is just a little too good: wealthy young ladies, talented women, and even female officials keep showing up at his door, all asking to become “Jiang family cooks”…

I Need Ancient-Era Food and Farming Novels!

Looking for stories where the heroine transmigrates to ancient times, cooks, and builds a prosperous life. CP or no CP is fine. Not too many awful characters, and the male lead shouldn’t have too high a status. No palace intrigue, please. Great writing and airtight logic are a must.
