[Devoted couple, sweet romance, slice of life, ancient-to-modern transmigration, food and medicinal cuisine]
“Li Yan, you’re just a low-level kitchen helper. What gives you the right to tell me what to eat?”
Lin Ruobai keeps a cold expression, but her fingers unconsciously clutch her white coat as she fights through a stomach spasm.
The man wordlessly taps the cutting board with the back of his knife. His voice is low and husky. “Because your stomach is a wreck. Keep eating that prepackaged garbage and tomorrow I’ll be making you a farewell soup. Open up. Drink this spoonful of Chinese yam and poria congee.”
The cool, proud Dr. Lin, faced with the steaming medicinal congee, is so moved that her eyes redden despite herself. After swallowing it, she mutters softly, “...That wasn’t enough. I want more.”
In his previous life, Li Yan was a third-rank head chef in the imperial kitchen of the Forbidden City. Now he has become an illiterate vegetable chopper at a hospital cafeteria, drowning in online loan debt.
From the start, he can't even use a gas stove and thinks the microwave is a demon. The entire hospital is laughing at him!
But when he uses scraps to cook ginseng and perilla congee that can keep someone on the brink of death alive, and stews medicinal dishes in a battered clay pot that put Michelin-starred restaurants to shame, the hospital's bigwigs go wild!
Surgeons line up to grab a meal, while an affluent man with no appetite throws money at him for a dish.
To get the last piece of braised pork, the aloof female doctor even corners him in the changing room. “Come cook at my place tonight... My kitchen is bigger than the hospital's, and you can have me too.”
That sounds nice, thank you
