   This was my first time reading a food-themed novel, where a modern person transmigrates to ancient times and thrives in the European culinary world. The protagonist is a sailor from the Ming Dynasty who is shipwrecked and rescued by a Portuguese ship. He ends up in Portugal, opens a Chinese restaurant in the capital, and occasionally conquers the palates of people from England, Spain, and France. The descriptions of cooking are quite detailed, and the descriptions of the eating experience are particularly enticing, making me have a great appetite for a while. There are also some nautical elements, which I really enjoyed, and it even felt like a dream connection to my geography studies. There is a slight dual-male lead plot, but it's minimal, so if you mind it, it's fine. The plot is fast-paced and very enjoyable to read in one go.

    I highly recommend this new book about courtyard houses! It's a breath of fresh air in the genre! Absolutely not mindless! The foreshadowing and comebacks are incredibly sophisticated! You won't even notice them if you don't have a brain! It's free of malice, cowardice, overly sentimentalism, and extreme convoluted plots—just pure, satisfying reading. The inventions and historical context are absolutely realistic and stand up to scrutiny. The characters are vividly portrayed without any deliberate distortion or misrepresentation! It's very down-to-earth! A rare gem! It might seem a bit timid on the surface, but the comebacks are brutally honest! It incorporates many inside jokes, original scenes, and even poems and songs written by the author—it's fantastic!

    The first book is about transmigrating to America. Every ten days, the location and food are randomly selected. The second book involves unexpectedly acquiring a food system. The third book offers a random location and food every week. The fourth book focuses solely on food. The fifth book involves transmigrating to a parallel world and opening a Chinese restaurant. The others are also quite good.
