Synopsis

[Gourmet + business management + farming + women supporting women]

Jiang Yuxi, the fake heiress of a wealthy family, is thrown out and returns to her village to inherit the buffet restaurant her biological parents left her.

The restaurant is in a remote mountain wilderness. With no money or customers, Jiang Yuxi also has to raise funds for her biological father’s surgery. Just as she’s about to despair, she accidentally activates the [Buffet Restaurant System].

The restaurant connects to an [ancient era suffering from famine]. To the starving and freezing people of the past, the buffet restaurant is like a wolf walking into a sheep pen.

Hot pot, barbecue, desserts, drinks, and liquor: everything is [free] and [unlimited]!

Upgrade the restaurant! Upgrade! Upgrade!

Unlock ingredients! Unlock! Unlock!

That night,

Lord Zhang trudged back and forth carrying sandbags. His legs trembled with exhaustion, but he gritted his teeth and kept at it, all for a taste of those secret-recipe crawfish.

“Oof!” Distracted for a moment, Lord Zhang collided head-on with someone, and they both tumbled to the ground.

He was about to yell at the other man when he recognized him. “Old Li, didn’t you say you wouldn’t eat food that was thrown at you, and that you’d rather die than come here?”

Lord Li ignored him and hurriedly hoisted his sandbag back onto his shoulders. Only then did he glare and snap, “If I didn’t come now, I’d starve to death from craving it!”

…

Years later, the once-barren mountain had transformed into a thriving imperial capital, and Bao Le Me Buffet Restaurant had become famous across the land.

A mysterious guest arrived quietly…

Any Stories Where the Female Lead Runs a Shop? An Inn, Blind Boxes, and So On

Preferably nearly finished. Stories about selling things in anime worlds are fine, and so are stories about selling things in wuxia settings. Male-oriented novels are fine too, but there must be no female lead.
