Duobao had been selling grain on Changping Street for three years, supporting her whole family with her “buy rice, get cupping therapy free” deal.
Then the Northern Garrison General and the Grand Princess went undercover to visit the town. One bite of her stinky tofu tanghulu broke their composure on the spot, and they tearfully claimed her as their long-lost daughter.
Life got even livelier after the reunion: her adoptive mother wielded a rolling pin to fight the Grand Princess for her, her biological older brother dropped to his knees the moment he came through the door, and the villainous Granny Zhao tried to poison her but mixed up the salt and sugar. In the end, she became Duobao's personal late-night snack chef.
With just a silver tongue, Duobao turned street thugs into deliverymen and talked noble ladies into investing their private savings in a snack shop. Her whole family was swept up in the chaos she caused.
