Exile in Lingnan: Start with a Broken Tavern

Lin Weiwei, the queen of modern catering, opened her eyes and transformed into the daughter of an ancient criminal who had her house confiscated and was exiled to Lingnan. Faced with a poor family, a sick mother and younger brother, as well as covetous policemen and a harsh environment, she holds a piece of divorce paper in hand and resolutely takes up the family's livelihood. At the beginning, there was only a broken thatch shed with air leakage. With her vision of cooking beyond the times, she turned the lychees, wild mushrooms, and sugar cane found all over the mountains and plains of Lingnan into magic. A bowl of "glazed ice powder" that relieved summer heat and quenched thirst amazed everyone and earned her first pot of gold. From roadside stalls to panxiapo taverns, grilled fish with lychees, chicken gizzards with sour bamboo shoots, cane sugar pastries... One after another novel delicacies have sparked conversations, and the tavern business is becoming increasingly popular. However, the road to rise is fraught with dangers. Ruffians extort money, peers fight against each other, food supplies are cut off, and they even get involved in local disputes. Lin Weiwei worked step by step, breaking through with food, making connections, expanding the tavern, building an ice cellar, establishing an ingredient base, and developing the small tavern into the "first floor of Lingnan" integrating food, accommodation, and commerce. Her reputation even attracted the imperial envoy who was hiding here because he was investigating the salt case. The two went from testing each other to working together to fight against powerful enemies. In the end, Lin Weiwei not only conquered gourmets all over the world with her delicious food and became a wealthy business legend, she also single-handedly changed the barren image of the place of exile, won dignity and freedom, and also gained her own happy marriage.
