Synopsis

[Food + street vending + lighthearted comedy + no romance + ancient mythical beast] As Taotie, an ancient mythical beast, Song Zhiwei had never eaten a human. In fact, she was so picky that she nearly starved herself to death in an era when spiritual energy was scarce. Luckily, a hundred years ago, after taking human form, she was adopted by a descendant of imperial chefs. She learned everything from her adoptive parent and honed her skills into peerless culinary mastery. She woke up from a long meditation to find that more than twenty years had passed. The quiet little mountain village she remembered had become a bustling tourist district. People no longer paid with cash; everything was done by scanning QR codes. And she, a mighty ancient mythical beast, had less money in her pockets than she had on her face! To keep herself fed, Song Zhiwei set up a rickety stall in the most neglected, trash-strewn corner of the food street. From the start, she had nothing but a single wok, which she swung until it smoked! The other vendors sneered. “That dead-end alley is so deserted even dogs won’t go there. Who does she think will buy her fried rice?” Tourists waved their hands frantically. “We’re already stuffed from eating up ahead. We can’t walk anymore. No, we’re not eating, absolutely not!” But then… A mouthwatering aroma wafted for miles. “Boss! Please, fry me another serving! I’ll trade ten years of my brother’s being single for a bowl of your heavenly fried rice!” “Waaah, what kind of divine delicacy is this? I’ll eat another bite even if my stomach bursts!” Watching the line of customers stretching in front of her little stall in the dead-end corner, all swallowing eagerly, Song Zhiwei tossed her iron wok and smiled faintly. Anything made by Taotie is bound to be top-notch. (This world is full of web novels. Any similarities are purely coincidental.) (I do not accept baseless accusations of plagiarism. Please do not post comments about other novels under my work.)

Food Novels with No Romance

I want a story told from the heroine's perspective, mainly about cooking, and not one that relies entirely on a System menu. Don't recommend ones told from the male lead's perspective!!!!!!

The progression of the plot is quite reasonable, the source of the protagonist's craftsmanship is also reasonable, and the cooking process also looks reasonable. Can you inform us of the changes in the menu through the official account? If I were a tourist, I would be disappointed if I came all the way to find that the dish I wanted to eat was taken off the shelf without a word and replaced with another dish. In addition, the few people who appeared around Chapter 120 gave me an unfriendly impression for some reason. The summary is 9 points satisfactory. The author please continue to work hard [sending heartfelt wishes]

Highly recommended. It is a very heart-warming novel. The author is also very attentive. The whole story has a warm and healing atmosphere. The author has put a lot of thought into the description of food, and the atmosphere is full of fireworks. I've seen too many novels written that end up being a repetitive clock-in journal, constantly piling up plots and word counts. It's really not a one-size-fits-all novel. But compared to other novels that have become literary games and repeat the same plot every day, it's really a bit disappointing. This book can feel the sincerity of the author throughout the whole process, and the reading experience is very good. It's very satisfying. I hope the author can persevere. Come on [laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh]

A very good food article. If you like reading this kind of novels, I recommend it. Although the protagonist is a glutton, the demon part has been weakened so far, focusing on the purchase and matching of various delicacies and ingredients.
