From Educated Youth to State Banquet Chef After Moving to the Countryside

Jiang Zhou, a Michelin three-star executive chef, is transported back to 1977 when his soul leaves his body after a car accident.

He becomes a disposable stepson, unloved by his father and stepmother, and is “sold” for five hundred yuan to work as an educated youth in the countryside of Northeast China.

It’s hell mode from the start, but he calmly activates the [Chinese Culinary God System]!

While others gnaw on coarse-grain buns, he turns humble ingredients into a banquet fit for an emperor. While they drink vegetable broth, his wild mushroom soup is so delicious it makes the whole village’s eyebrows tingle!

With his skillful hands, he turns the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Starting with a canteen at the educated youth compound where even the pig feed is better than the food, he wins over the whole village, makes a name for himself across the county, and stuns the nation!

When the college entrance exams resume, he leaves everyone in the dust. When reform and opening up begin, he rides the wave.

Years later, when people ask how the world-renowned “Eastern Culinary God” made his way to success, Jiang Zhou simply smiles.

“My legend began with a single meal.”
