Wen Jiujiu, a state-banquet chef and brewmaster, opened his eyes and became the daughter of a criminal who was sent to a deserted border city due to literary inquisition.
Faced with a bitter cold land, surrounded by unruly people, and a blind old mother who was starving at home and was crying for food, Wen Jiujiu rolled up her sleeves and said: As long as there is fire and water, the God of Cooking can hold a banquet anywhere!
Is there no fine salt at the border? She purifies mineral salt and makes snow-white refined salt;
No soy sauce seasoning? She ferments soybeans to create fragrant soy sauce.
Even the woody and fishy beef and mutton in Border Gate were turned into divine delicacies under her control of a kitchen knife and extreme heat.
What's even more amazing is that she used the low-quality highland barley from the border to distill the potent liquor "Shaodaozi", which became a life-extending elixir for the soldiers at the border to resist the severe cold!
The restaurant business is booming, but it attracts the ruthless imperial minister who is ordered to secretly investigate corruption at the border - the most powerful official in the dynasty, Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu is a ruthless person suffering from severe anorexia, but he is addicted to a bowl of Yangchun noodles made with warm wine.
In order to investigate the case, this powerful man not only hid his identity, but also helped her chop wood and light the fire every day.
Until the rebellion at the border, Yan Xiu was wearing black armor, like a god of death coming, beheading enemy generals.
Turning around, with blood on his face, he approached Wen Jiujiu in aggrieved tone: "Boss Wen, I have killed ten rebels, can I have some meat buns tonight?"
