Siheyuan: Banquet Chef, Making the Whole Courtyard Drool from the Start

[State Banquet Chef + Siheyuan Fanfiction + Food and Farming + Cunning but Protective + No System + Low Aggression]

Jiang Weiguo, a state banquet chef in his previous life, woke up one day transmigrated to a siheyuan in 1961.

His start was hell mode: both parents dead, barely a penny to his name, and a pair of malnourished twin siblings who were still crying to be fed.

To make matters worse, the whole courtyard was full of “beasts”!

Yi Zhonghai wanted to guilt-trip him? Jia Zhangshi wanted to seize his home? Yan Bugui charged a toll even for a cup of hot water?

Faced with all their schemes, Jiang Weiguo gave a cold laugh and hefted the ladle in his hand.

Want to bully me? Ask my cleaver if it agrees!

Want to take advantage of me? No chance! I’ll seal up even the cracks in the windows!

In this era of scarcity, Jiang Weiguo thrived thanks to his state banquet-level cooking and forward-thinking business sense.

In his hands, even a handful of wild greens could become a peerless delicacy!

And so, life in the courtyard changed:

In the front courtyard, Jiang’s younger siblings ate until their mouths shone with grease, their cheeks rosy and healthy;

In the middle courtyard, the other “beasts” writhed with hunger at the delicious smells, drooling but unable to get so much as a bowl of soup!
