Name: The Little Chef of the 1980s
Author: The Cold Wind of Autumn and Winter

Synopsis

Reborn in the 1980s, Su Yao opens her eyes to find herself on the verge of being thrown out by her scumbag father and his mistress. Her mother's house is about to be sold, and her younger siblings are about to end up on the streets. She clenches her fists: She has to make a living on her own!

With the skills she honed in her previous life as a top-tier postpartum nanny, she sets up a stall selling egg pancakes. Their aroma wafts halfway down the street, making the neighbors jealous and drawing her scumbag father to her door. But no one expects that this little girl is not only a good cook, but sharp-witted too...

She puts shameless jerks in their place and takes on her scumbag father, turning her egg-pancake stall into a chain of restaurants. The poor little one she takes in turns out to be the county Party secretary's own son. And the family that was about to be torn apart becomes one everyone envies, all thanks to her.

Su Yao says: “I'll earn money for the family, look after my younger siblings, and make a fortune in the tide of reform and opening up. Now that's a life worth living!”

Period-Era Fiction! Really Good Ones! No Pocket Spaces, They’re Too Unrealistic!

I don't know why, but lately I've been really into stories set in a bygone era, especially ones about transmigration. Transmigrating into a book is fine too. I read one about a soft-hearted freeloader and a green-tea schemer and really loved it. It felt so real, but it's still being updated. Ladies, any more recommendations? No stories where they get a pocket dimension and supplies like a supermarket, though.
