[No System | No Mindless Protagonist | Intelligent Characters | Alternate History]
Li Bufan woke up one day to find himself transmigrated into a penniless shopkeeper in the Great Qian Dynasty.
No System, no golden finger. All he has is a small restaurant on the verge of closing, three hundred taels of loan-shark debt, and three days to live.
If he can't repay the money in three days, the gambling den will take the restaurant and then drag him to the back hills to silence him.
The shop has no rice, oil, vegetables, or meat. All he owns are a few bags of flour, half a jar of coarse salt, and half a bottle of brown sauce.
It was the worst hand imaginable, and everyone was certain Li Bufan was doomed.
But they didn't know that living in this body was a modern food-service tycoon who had run more than ten thousand outlets.
What looks like a dead end to everyone else is precisely the chance he needs to turn things around.
So he starts by turning pig offal into delicacies, opens up the market with one signature dish after another, overhauls the restaurant through standardized operations, and fends off malicious competition with business tactics.
His goal has never been merely to pay off that three-hundred-tael debt hanging over his life. He intends to open Li's Restaurant across all thirteen provinces of Great Qian!
He'll show his competitors in Great Qian how a restaurant ought to be run!
