Even After Transmigrating to Ancient Times, I Can Still Cook a State Banquet

Su Qingyan, a top-tier star of modern home-style cooking, is accidentally transported into the Northern Song Dynasty, where she becomes a frail orphan in a poor scholar’s family in Bianjing. Their home is bare, her father is paralyzed, her mother is sick, and her three younger siblings are still crying for food. Snow has sealed off the city, charcoal prices are soaring, and the whole family is one step away from starving to death! Luckily, she is bound to a home-cooking inheritance dimension, complete with modern culinary skills, a supply of rare ingredients and seasonings that refreshes, and long-lost ancient recipes! While others sell steamed buns for a pittance, she makes improved roujiamo, seasonal pastries, and nourishing medicinal porridge. Prices start at five coins, and everything sells out every day! Students at the Imperial Academy line up for her food, courtesans pay handsomely to reserve it, and the Xie and Cui families compete to hire her as their cook. Even the Emperor comes, drawn by the aroma! A crooked rich man withholds her wages? She calls him out until he pays up in front of everyone! A rival poisons her food to frame her? She strikes back with a “detoxifying medicinal dish” and makes a name for herself! The powerful try to seize her recipes? Sorry, even if you pay, I won’t teach anyone how to make my signature dishes! From a street stall in an alley to a chain of restaurants, from barely managing three meals a day to becoming the richest in Bianjing, Su Qingyan not only feeds her whole family, but also breaks through class barriers with her cooking and gets everyone in the Northern Song Dynasty hooked on modern flavors! A powerful noble: “Miss Su, marry into my family, and you can run all our restaurants!” Su Qingyan: “Get in line to buy my osmanthus cakes first. We’ll talk once you’re at the front!”
