   Reader note

   I recommend this book for several reasons. First, the food preparation sections are well-paced, not just rote descriptions, but adjusted to suit the historical context, local tastes, and available ingredients. Many details reveal that the author may actually be a cook and even wants to teach us. Second, the book is very relatable, focusing on a county and its surrounding villages rather than the entire country. Every name mentioned has a network of relationships and is connected to the protagonist to varying degrees. You'll understand what I mean as you read on. Third, the protagonist's rise to wealth is traceable; every step could be foreshadowing later events. There's unexpected wealth, a past life perspective, but most importantly, it's the result of painstakingly preparing each pot of food. I particularly love the line, "I'm not envious of Erchun's wealth." Fourth, the main character's family and friends: a pretentious father, a gossip-loving mother (okay, actually all women love gossip), an honest and upright older brother, a gluttonous younger sister and niece, a straightforward and contrasting wife, a mother-in-law who sides with Erchun, and a jealous father-in-law—each character is very interesting, making it increasingly addictive. Even the everyday family drama is entertaining. Fifth, just keep reading, you've patiently made it this far, go read five, six, seven, or eight more chapters. Erchun's system mostly functions as a points-based resource exchange system, and its appearance rate is low later on.

    These are must-read food-themed novels, especially the first one, which is my current favorite. I absolutely adore the female lead. I don't want to spoil the reading experience, but you'll definitely be captivated by her charm as you read on. The food descriptions in the second book are fantastic; reading it in bed last night made me incredibly hungry. The romance between the male and female leads is very delicate and natural. The third book is a time-travel story set in the past, a bit funny and silly, but quite interesting. If you like this type of story, give it a try. The fourth book is a heartwarming modern novel, incredibly healing, full of life, with a gentle, flowing romance that reveals happiness in its ordinariness.

    Reader note

    Here are some recommended food-themed novels! The female protagonist sells food at a stall, and the process of making the food is incredibly meticulous! 🌸🌸 Cheng Yuewan glanced at the clams in the basin; after an afternoon, they had expelled all the sand very cleanly. She nodded in satisfaction and took a small knife from the knife rack. With a gentle stroke along the seam of the clam shell, and a slight flick of her wrist, the shell opened with a snap. The clam meat inside was plump and moist, gleaming like pearls, with a delicate yellow fringe around the edge. She carefully removed the clam meat and placed it on a porcelain plate. The technique for removing the meat was extremely precise, ensuring the clam meat remained intact while also removing the adductor muscle attached to the shell. This required just the right amount of force; too much would tear the clam meat, too little would leave it unclean. With nimble fingers, she quickly prepared a large plate of clams. Next, she made shrimp paste. She took out the shrimp she had just peeled that morning; each shrimp was translucent, with a faint pink hue. She laid the shrimp flat on the cutting board and gently pounded them with the back of a knife. Pounding too lightly wouldn't loosen the shrimp meat, while pounding too heavily would damage the fibers, so each pounding needed to be just right. Once the pounded shrimp meat gradually softened, she switched to the blade of the knife to finely chop it. With each chop, the aroma of the shrimp meat gradually wafted out, carrying the unique sweetness of the ocean. 🌸🌸When it was chopped to about 70% of its original size, she added a little pork fat—this was the secret to making the shrimp paste even smoother. The pork fat should be cut into small cubes the size of mung beans and chopped together with the shrimp paste until combined. Then, she sprinkled a small pinch of fine salt on the shrimp paste. The salt was added in two parts: once for seasoning and once to adjust the texture. When the shrimp paste gradually became sticky, she added four egg whites, adding them little by little while stirring in one direction. Stuffing the shells is the most skillful part. Take out a clam shell, use a bamboo stick to pick up a ball of shrimp paste, and gently stuff it into the shell. It shouldn't be too full, or it will overflow, nor too little; about one and a half spoonfuls per shell. Bring water to a boil in a pot, and once boiling, arrange the shrimp-filled clams neatly on top, leaving appropriate gaps between each one. When covering the pot, Cheng Yuewan deliberately left a small gap to prevent water droplets from affecting the texture. Steam for about five minutes, then lift the lid. The steamed shrimp paste is an enticing pinkish-white, with a glistening sheen. The broth inside the clam shells is crystal clear, exuding a rich, savory aroma. Sprinkle with bright green scallions and drizzle with hot peanut oil; with a sizzle, the aroma instantly explodes in the kitchen. The final touch is a small spoonful of special soy sauce. This soy sauce is made by Cheng Yuewan using three types of soy sauce, with a little rock sugar and spices, and simmered over low heat. It's salty and sweet, with a rich umami flavor. When poured over the shrimp paste, the amber-colored sauce slowly flows down the smooth surface, creating a beautiful contrast with the white shrimp paste. And just like that, a delicious and beautiful clam-stuffed shrimp paste dish is complete. It's just not easy to make.
