A Michelin Chef's Guide to Raising a Child: Conquering the Eighties with Leftovers
Meng Lin was a “god” in a Michelin kitchen.
Then he opened his eyes to find just 2.13 yuan in his pocket and a skinny little girl by his side.
No money? No ingredients?
Off to the market, where he picks through the scraps nobody wants.
The stall owner next door thinks he's there to beg, but one pot of hotpot later, the whole street is filled with its aroma.
“Boss, three more bowls of this spicy hotpot!”
“This braised meat is even better than the chefs at the state-run restaurant make!”
Looking at the line of customers, Meng Lin grins. “Now that's what you call a whole different level!”
Before long, the bespectacled, mild-mannered reporter who always hangs around his stall becomes a regular.
One day, blushing, he hands Meng Lin a crumpled bankbook. “This is everything I own... Can I freeload meals at your place for the rest of my life?”
It's a bit short, but it has a solid foundation in the early stages. It doesn't have much space to describe food, and it mainly focuses on running stores. Everyone the heroine meets is complete and vivid, unlike the impetuous Internet novels, but it is a pity that the ending is too fast. I feel like the planting + opening could be expanded upon.
The heroine traveled back in time to the 1980s, took her daughter with her, started selling Malatang, and slowly got better step by step. When my tofu supplier was in trouble, I was able to find clues step by step to resolve the crisis. Overall, it was pretty good👍
A delicacy with sour, sweet, bitter and spicy taste, and it will have a salty taste when you taste it carefully. The system is not very useful and does not appear frequently. The female protagonist has her own cooking skills and there are not many messy people around her. Occasionally, one or two bad guys are quickly dealt with, but the long dialogues with the male protagonist are a bit dull and boring.
The author's writing is very strong, and the details, especially the description of the characters' actions, are rich, but not abrupt. The emotions are layered in these details, forcing people to cry. I like it.
✕✕✕ Food is just decoration, I don't like it
It's good-looking, well-written, the characters are well-developed, each has its own memory point, and the plot arrangement is also layered, which is quite attractive.
