Here's the blurb for this book:

[Business building + Cantonese morning tea + food]

Xia Yongen inherits her adoptive mother's estate: a century-old Cantonese teahouse, notorious for its terrible food, closed for years, and buried in debt.

She's good at making instant noodles. Fancy dim sum? That's asking too much!

Just then, a teahouse management System falls from the sky.

The System comes with recipes for all kinds of dim sum, an immersive practice space, and fully automated financial and business reports. It can teach her to cook in just three days, and she'll never have to tear her hair out over the books again.

With treats like bowl cakes, coconut milk layer cake, Malay sponge cake, and shrimp dumplings, Xia Yongen sets up a street stall. She works hard from the ground up, saves every penny to pay off the debts, and steadily rebuilds the shop.

More than half a year later, the long-closed teahouse finally reopens.

Local old-timers: This teahouse is famous for its awful food. How much better can it get just by changing owners...? Wait, these dim sum taste just like they did when I was a kid!

Skeptical netizens: Tch, it's all marketing. Hiring a few old people to line up doesn't make you an old-established brand... Holy crap! These are the long-lost taro puffs with honeycomb pastry? And there's Cantonese opera in the shop too!?

Famous food blogger: Sure, the food is delicious, but it's no different from other teahouses. It's not a must-visit... What? There's no tea charge! Is the owner crazy?

Later, crowds fill the entrance to Wing Hing House. Everyone sits in rows on red wooden benches, waiting for a seat and a bite of dim sum.

Competitors try to steal her exclusive recipes? They go out of business!

Big money tries to buy her out? Not a chance!

Foreign chefs try to copy her? Get out of here!

Years later, Xia Yongen, busy kneading dough in the kitchen, falls into thought.

Huh? I just sell dim sum. How did this lousy teahouse become a global sensation?

[Reader's Note]

A feel-good career story from the heroine's perspective. There is a male lead, with romance making up thirty percent and business and competitions making up seventy percent.

Here's the blurb:

After an accident, Ye Baojun is transported to Hong Kong in 1969, where she becomes one of the refugees fleeing across the border.

For other people, Hong Kong in the sixties means neon lights and foreign trading houses. It means meeting a tycoon at the races and starting a tangled romance.

For her, Hong Kong in the sixties means a leaky wooden shack crammed with ten people, the constant risk of arrest and deportation, a sickly, depressed mother, and a reckless, foolish older brother.

Gold is everywhere here, but so are bones.

Faced with a nightmare from the start, Ye Baojun rolls up her sleeves and decides...

As a cooking blogger with tens of millions of followers in her previous life, is she really going to starve in Hong Kong?

From a street stall to a late-night food stand, and then to the Grand Jun City Hotel in Causeway Bay, Ye Baojun wins over countless people with her cooking.

Gang leaders, the wealthiest Chinese merchants, movie moguls... All the biggest names in Hong Kong fall for her cooking.

Theme: Preserve the flavor with craftsmanship, and keep striving for a better life
