   Unexpectedly, Tang Mingfan casually said, "No need, I brought my own lunch today." Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. Was it raining blood? Tang Mingfan actually brought his own lunch today? At this moment, someone nearby said, "What kind of lucrative business has Lord Tang found, buying a carriage and bringing his own lunch?" Tang Mingfan: I just wanted to show off, aren't you all tired of thinking so much! What a bunch of idiots. The next day he brought spicy crayfish. The third day he brought boiled fish. The fourth day, he had blisters on his lips, and finally brought congee, side dishes, and steamed buns, but why were his steamed buns shaped like frogs and pigs? Tang Mingfan: My grandson is being filial. Also, why did even the cold dishes he brought smell so delicious? One day, during the court session, the Emperor arrived. At that time, Tang Mingfan was eating crayfish, but today he had changed to garlic flavor. Upon seeing the Emperor, he quickly wiped his hands and joined the others in paying their respects. To his surprise, the Emperor sat down opposite him and said with a smile, "Minister Tang, I came drawn by the aroma. May I have a taste?" Tang Mingfan protected his rice bowl, saying, "These are all unfit for the table; this humble subject dares not offer them to Your Majesty." Was he joking? The Emperor was so wealthy; why would he try to fleece him? The Emperor said, "If you can eat it, then I can eat it too. Men, bring my food here as well."

   The ultimate in transmigrated-to-ancient culinary delights! Absolutely amazing! The first book features a female protagonist who can cook countless dishes, even bringing meals to court for her father and brother, making all the officials and the emperor drool. She even opens a food street, with the three highest-ranking officials of the palace frequently sneaking out to sample the delicacies. The second book—don't be fooled by the title, this is a food novel. The female protagonist can cook a wide variety of dishes, mostly snacks. The third book is a bizarre, randomly set-up stall story: selling stinky tofu outside a prince's gate, boxed lunches at a deserted dock, and snacks outside a coffin shop—all of which sell out instantly… The fourth book features a female protagonist who transmigrates into the body of a 200-pound overweight woman, making diet meals and bringing meals to her father, who then gives her a giant food box… These four food novels are highly recommended; each one is a gem!
