   We're talking about a different kind of food novel, and this one definitely deserves a mention. Who can resist snacks? I've read a lot of food novels, and they all seem pretty much the same, but you'll definitely like this one. It's heartwarming, with a fast-paced money-making spree, but it's surprisingly addictive. The female protagonist transmigrates to ancient times and takes up her old trade in making snacks: fruit leather, potato chips, fish balls, grilled shrimp, small fish, pine nuts, boneless chicken feet, spicy duck legs, braised beef, pork jerky, kelp, dried seaweed, spicy strips, dried tofu, crispy lotus root, sachima, small bread rolls, egg yolk pastries, ox tongue biscuits…

She also finds a little boy who calls her "Mom" (the boy is the male protagonist's brother's child). With only fifty yuan in her account, she begins her daily life as a street vendor. Because it's a world of domineering CEOs, there are no roadside stalls or food stalls in the novel's world. Thus, the female protagonist becomes the first person in this world to set up a stall, eventually opening a whole food street filled with all kinds of snacks. Jianbing (Chinese crepes), savory pancakes, cold pot skewers, spicy hot pot, grilled gluten, potato noodles, barbecue, and more are all available. There is a romantic pairing.
