    The writing is so vivid, it made my mouth water – a truly authentic food article. The descriptions of the food are incredibly detailed, like the one below about tofu balls. The flavor is rich: chili peppers, houttuynia cordata, and sauce. The tofu skin is fried until crispy, while the inside is tender and smooth, though it's missing that perfect alkaline taste. First, Erniu and Suyu tried Shen Yu's method, eating a few before finally trying the potato cakes.

    A food-themed novel with a TV drama backdrop. The protagonist has impeccable morals and runs a small shop in a remote area. Some astute individuals recognize his unparalleled culinary skills and flock to his shop to speculate on land and real estate. The protagonist's shop only sells food he makes himself, so demand always exceeds supply. He pursues culinary perfection, and some dishes, incorporating the spirit of historical figures like Su Dongpo and Lu Xun, possess special, almost supernatural effects. The writing style is simple yet sharp, avoiding filler content, with an engaging plot and logical deductions.

    Reader note

    This is a must-read for any food-themed novel, but it's not purely a food story. The female lead has no romantic partner; her husband dies shortly after she transmigrates, and she relies on her culinary skills to rise from the countryside to the capital, even raising a younger brother-in-law who becomes a top scholar. She raises her sister-in-law, facing awful relatives and malicious villagers, but the clever and resourceful female lead never lets them get away with it. It's incredibly satisfying to see her deal with the villains. After leaving, the annoying relatives disappear. Later, in the capital, she remains cautious and prudent, eventually gaining the backing of the Crown Prince and becoming a princess. The entire story is well-structured, but there are no plot-driven moments, and the younger brother-in-law never overshadows the female lead. It's still a very enjoyable read!
