A Guide to Running an Ancient Chinese Restaurant

Li Wanqing transmigrated, and from the start, both her parents were dead, leaving behind two younger siblings who still needed to be fed.

There was no money at home, and the rice jar was nearly empty.

Luckily, in her previous life she had founded a restaurant and mastered culinary skills beyond compare.

By the fields, beside the little stream,

people often saw Li Wanqing dashing around with her younger brother and sister.

At the dam where conscripted laborers worked, she started selling radish and pork-bone soup.

The laborers, working in the chilly spring water, rushed toward her pot with money in hand.

At the dock where grain boats unloaded their cargo, she brought out hearty bowls of food.

Ten coins a bowl, and the delicious aroma stopped the dockworkers from slacking off.

As soon as work ended, they gathered in a circle around her little stall.

After saving up some silver, Li Wanqing opened a dessert shop beside the county school.

The students stopped discussing the Four Books and Five Classics.

Instead, they all came to beg her for the exclusive right to name one of her desserts.

When the county magistrate's mother celebrated her birthday, he specifically sent an invitation, asking Li Wanqing to make that thing called a cake.

As her reputation grew, Li Wanqing soon claimed the top spot on the capital's Gourmet Rankings.

A foodie with money on the brain followed the scent all the way to her.

Money aside, having her cook for him every day was one of the most important conditions of their partnership!

A young lady showed up at the capital's once-every-three-years cooking competition.

She came from a remote county, so at first everyone looked down on her.

Then, all of a sudden, a whole cheering squad appeared, singing her praises everywhere and proclaiming her culinary prowess.

People in the capital offered huge sums just to secure a spot on the public judging panel!

"Lady Li's braised pork intestines are fragrant, savory, and wonderfully chewy. They're absolutely the best in the world!"

"I love her orange barramundi. You want to know what dessert is? This is it!"

"Lychee pork is obviously the best!!!"

Coming next: What Should I Do After Turning into a Cat?

Su Nuan came across a post: "If you turned into a little animal one day, do you think you'd be happy?"

At the time, Su Nuan had replied, "Of course! I can't even imagine how happy I'd be."

But now, with dirty fur and her stomach rumbling loudly, Su Nuan fell silent.

It really happened!

Su Nuan was shocked and confused, but after turning into a cat, the first thing she planned to do was go home and ask her own cat why it was ignoring her!

Before she could get home, a net from the cat-catching squad swept over her head. At the last second, a stray cat grabbed her by the scruff and carried her beneath a hidden eave.

"Where's your mom? Didn't she teach you to stay away from the cat catchers? Is your mom dead?"

Su Nuan: ...

Was that really not an insult?

Wait! The important thing was that she could understand animals now!

From that day on, Su Nuan transformed every now and then. She couldn't figure out why, so in the end she just gave up and spent all day hanging out with the little animals.

"Cats should act like cats! Look at you, all filthy, like some dog!"

Su Nuan: ...Was that rough, smoky voice really coming from her proud cat?

"Hehehe, hot dogs, hot dogs! Where did I hide my hot dogs?" That was the neighbor's Samoyed.

"It's three in the morning! Why are you crowing? You're a parrot!"

Little animals sure had eventful lives!

The days passed, until one day she opened her eyes at a crime scene.

"Help me... Somebody, please..."

"I want to go home... Mom..."

When she opened her eyes again, Su Nuan made a call. "Hello, Officer? I want to report a crime."

Lu Yu was a police officer with the Beijing Public Security Bureau. Besides handling cases, he also had to obey his grandmother's orders to look after a childhood friend he had only met a few times.

Childhood friend?

He didn't have a childhood sweetheart.

Lu Yu stood outside the girl's home. Through a gap in the door, he could see furniture scattered everywhere and the place in complete disarray. Just then, he heard a faint noise from the kitchen.

His raised hand froze.

Had someone broken in?

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes and quietly entered. The next moment, he tackled the little thief!

"You've got some nerve."

Su Nuan lowered her eyes to look at Lu Yu's hand around her waist. "You do too."

But during the interrogation that followed, he discovered that this person wasn't a thief. She was his childhood friend.

But why did she seem a little off her rocker?

Lu Yu crossed his arms, a vein twitching at his temple. Looking at Su Nuan's utterly serious face, he was almost too exasperated to laugh.

"So you're saying the guy who got beaten into a pig's head is the criminal we've been tracking for months, and the culprit is a... kangaroo?"
