He Shuyan, heir to the Imperial Kitchen Dining Group and successor to its culinary legacy, transmigrates to the 1980s and becomes a dramatic military wife who would rather die than marry into poverty.
From the start, he's at a remote outpost on the northwestern frontier, surrounded by blowing sand and short on both food and water. His husband, Wei Zheng, is a famously cold-faced elite soldier, and is preparing to submit his marriage report: a divorce application.
Looking at the gaunt soldiers and desolate landscape, He Shuyan rolls up his sleeves and heads into the kitchen.
Those wild greens? No, they're perfect for a cold salad with sand scallions!
That mutton with its strong, earthy smell? No, it's roast whole lamb, hand-grabbed lamb, and lamb soup with flatbread!
Those bitter sea buckthorn berries? No, they're deliciously sweet-and-sour sea buckthorn juice!
Wei Zheng, who had been waiting for a laugh, finds himself unable to tear himself away from the wonderful aromas every time he comes home.
“Report, Commander! The braised pork Sister-in-law made today smells incredible. The soldiers in the neighboring regiment want to transfer over!”
He Shuyan not only wins over the whole regiment's stomachs with his cooking, but also leads the military wives in setting up a food-processing factory, selling northwestern specialties all over the country.
Watching his wife grow more and more impressive, Wei Zheng quietly tears up the divorce application. “Honey, what's for dinner tonight? I'll help you in the kitchen.”
This is a book that is not suitable for reading at night. It makes me so hungry🍽️! The current main line is career, the emotional line is a little lighter, the heroine's change is a bit sudden, and it doesn't feel natural enough. But the overall rhythm is good, the more I watch it, the more I like it🔥, five-star recommendation!!
The writing is very good, really good. Even the heroine's life is really hard. After all, she has to fight against the harsh environment. Sometimes I think of the salt-alkali land in the Gobi Desert and the Production and Construction Corps, and I really can't help but admire it.
It's so beautiful that I can't stop. It vividly describes the craftsmanship of top chefs. The author's writing style is really good.
Do you know how greedy a person from Jiuquan (Guazhou) is to read the word "scallions"? Because Guazhou is close to Liuyuan Xingxing Gorge, and due to my father's work, they can always bring back scallions from work. Mix the scallions blanched in water, and make scallions dumplings. My favorite is pickled scallions. Since pickled products are prone to stomach cancer, I haven't eaten them for many years 😢
It's so beautiful that I can't stop reading it. It's the best period novel I've ever seen. It feels so good that everyone in the family area of the Third Regiment is twisting together and working together. The only flaw is the serialization. The author will update it soon 😢 😢
It's a really well-written food article about a military wife. She travels to the northwest desert and plows the land with her own hands to open a factory and build a factory. The food she makes impresses everyone. She is also very attentive and cares about everyone around her. The heroine is very worthy 🤭
It's so vivid that it could be made into a TV series.
It looks great!! I just can't get enough of it.
It has a great sense of immersion and is a spiritual food worth watching.
The plot is flowing, the language is vivid, and there is no sloppiness in undertaking business or construction. There is no golden finger, only enthusiasm for life and land ❤️
