[Gourmet] [System] [No Romance] [Cozy and Healing]
Jiang Yanci returns from studying abroad and is forced to take over the leaky noodle shop his father left behind, but unexpectedly activates the "Chinese Cuisine Preservation System."
The system's little cauldron, dressed in a pale moon-white robe, appears and helps him unlock the talent to "taste the flavor of time."
A century-old Qing dynasty starter yields a sunlit, toasted aroma. A Song dynasty jar of culinary essence hides seasonings a thousand years old. Tang dynasty dougong brackets and Ming dynasty lattice windows unlock as he completes missions. Even the apparitions of Su Dongpo and Yi Yin appear to guide his cooking! He cures a picky eater with panda greens noodles, awakens an artist's memories with bamboo sap vegetarian noodles, settles an age-old feud with Dongpo soup, and, when a developer tries to demolish the neighborhood, joins forces with old street diners and millions of online supporters to launch a "battle to protect culinary civilization."
No romance-obsessed leads, just the warmth of everyday life. No empty talk about preserving tradition, just "tangible classical aesthetics and memories of civilization you can taste."
When the old street goes from dilapidated and marked for demolition to a Chinese food culture district, Jiang Yanci finally understands: guarding the noodle shop means guarding the roots left by his ancestors.
(No romance! Just heartwarming little moments that will make you cry. Perfect to read while eating, and soothing even when you stay up late.)
Oh ho! Well written and very interesting!
After reading this, why do I always want to eat fried noodles? ! What's going on...[Covering face][grieved]🤔
I'm trying to read a book. It's very nice.
This is a rare light novel about food, and it draws on emotions in every detail. It's a very good book.
