[Past and Present Cross Over] [Food] [Camper Van] [Travel] [Dual Systems] [Business and Fortune-Building]
After being laid off from her modern office job, Shen Qinghuan buys a used camper van and plans a trip.
But that very night, she unexpectedly binds to two Systems, one for the van and one for food.
The camper van lets her transport modern ingredients to the past, where she turns them into hit products.
Completing food-related missions earns points, which can upgrade the van's space and equipment as well as unlock online ingredients.
And so Shen Qinghuan has one foot in culinary delights and the other in poetry and distant horizons.
In Anping County of the Great Jin Dynasty,
Shen Qinghuan gets help from System Xiao Ba to find a new identity and survive in place of a mute girl.
Starting with a street stall selling beef meatballs, she gradually becomes a culinary powerhouse.
Food is about more than filling your stomach. It can also heal the heart.
A simple yet novel serving of beef meatballs is enough to help two students going through adolescence, one rebellious and one insecure, untangle their inner knots.
A serving of sweet but not cloying double-skin milk is enough to give a woman who has lost her support in life hope to carry on.
This culinary journey of hard work gives Shen Qinghuan a powerful sense of purpose.
In modern-day Huaguo,
Shen Qinghuan drives her camper van from Yuecheng and starts visiting the food shops marked on her map.
Whenever she arrives somewhere new, she posts about it on social media.
Sometimes she adds a few lines of poetry, sometimes reviews from diners.
Over time, she gathers more and more followers and becomes a famous travel and food recommendation blogger.
From an unremarkable office worker to a spokesperson sought after by local tourism bureaus, every step Shen Qinghuan takes counts.
P.S. The ancient-world storyline is the main focus; no romance early on.
Nice story👍🌹
