The Imperial Chef Travels Between Two Worlds, Setting Up a Night Market Stall to Feed an Army

In the third year of the Great Famine, a thousand miles of land lay barren. Lu Xun, former head imperial chef of the previous dynasty’s Imperial Food Bureau, was trapped with three thousand elderly people, women, and children on a remote mountain with no way out. They had eaten all the bark and roots they could find and were on the brink of selling their children for food.

In despair, Lu Xun pushed open the dilapidated back door of the ancestral hall and stepped straight into a night market on a university campus in the twenty-first century!

Seeing bamboo skewers and leftover food discarded by students, cheap flour selling for two yuan a jin, and chicken carcasses going for just a few yuan a jin, the imperial chef who had once served three generations of emperors completely lost his mind.

To stay alive, Lu Xun set up a battered iron wok at the night market and returned to his old trade.

“Secret palace-recipe braised chicken carcasses? Three portions for ten yuan!”

“Long-lost Dragon Beard Noodles from the imperial kitchen? Just eight yuan, and all you can eat!”

With his mastery of ancient cooking techniques and knife skills, Lu Xun’s stall went viral overnight. Countless university students, food influencers, and even Michelin-starred chefs lined up to rave about it!

By day, he raked in cash in the modern world, clearing out expiring flour, frozen meat, multivitamins, and high-yield hybrid seeds from wholesale markets. At night, he pushed a cart piled high with supplies back to the famine-stricken world, where he set up huge pots to cook meat porridge, handed out seeds, and built workshops!

Before long, while the warlords of a chaotic age were fighting to the death over a few hundred shi of moldy old grain, a hundred thousand people at Lu Xun’s mountain stronghold were eating white-flour buns with braised pork and wearing military coats bought wholesale on Pinduoduo. The invading rebels were so tempted that they switched sides on the spot. “Stop fighting! Let’s go haul bricks for Mr. Lu. He feeds us meat three times a day!”
