[Period military romance] [Food and face-slapping] [Marriage Before Love]
In her previous life, Jiang Li was a state banquet chef and an heir to a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. When she opened her eyes, she had become the most disliked military wife in an army compound in the 1980s. The original owner had been a complete menace, not only breaking the cold-faced officer she married’s heart but also making enemies of all the neighbors. Now she was about to be dumped and sent back to the countryside! No worries. With master-level medicinal food therapy at her fingertips, she could wield a spatula and win over anyone!
A fake best friend with a sugary smile wants to see her make a fool of herself? One bowl of “Heart-Clearing, Fire-Reducing Soup” cures the commander’s chronic leg pain, leaving the fake friend dumbfounded! Shameless relatives show up to freeload? Her “Eighteen-Pour Medicinal Feast” fills the air with its aroma for miles, and every big shot in the military district lines up outside her door with a lunchbox! Even the officer husband who used to be so cold now comes home every day and asks eagerly, “Honey, what’s for dinner?”
From a tiny kitchen in the army compound to the nation’s first private medicinal cuisine restaurant, watch a state banquet chef turn the food world upside down with a single iron wok in the 1980s. But… why is the man who used to talk about divorce every day suddenly cornering her in the kitchen, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he says, “Honey, I think I could use a little more nourishment…”
