To save her critically ill grandmother, Hao Xingwei signs a contract with a System, agreeing to run a small restaurant for it for ten years.
On opening day, a customer surnamed Li, with the bearing of an emperor and a magnificent presence, brings his brothers in for a meal that earns nearly a month's worth of revenue. Before leaving, he pays a hefty sum for two baskets of potatoes.
After that, the customer surnamed Li often comes to eat with his brothers, sisters, and wife. He always insists on leaving with something from the restaurant, never going home empty-handed.
Hao Xingwei casually asks what year it is, and gets the answer: “Wude.”
So the other side of the time portal is the Tang dynasty.
One day, the tall, muscular man who carries a pair of iron clubs asks her in a hushed voice if she has any bulletproof vests, walkie-talkies, tear gas, or the like. He's going to help his brother fight for the family fortune.
Hao Xingwei: “Oh, the Xuanwu Gate Incident.”
Other customers at the restaurant include a beautiful woman living alone on Mount Hua; a handsome young man with a tattoo on his forehead and a dog at his side; a gorgeous young man with fine features and a fiery temper; and two young Taoist attendants who call themselves Qingfeng and Mingyue...
Who cares who they are, as long as they pay their bills.
Then one day, an old man comes into the restaurant and asks how much a cup of peach juice costs. He wants to buy some for a monkey to try.
Hao Xingwei: ?
What kind of monkey gets treated that well?
Curious, she follows the old man out of the restaurant.
And there she sees a monkey with a furry face and a thunderous jaw, pinned beneath the Five Elements Mountain.
Good heavens, which Tang dynasty is this?!
1. The main focus is still the food, with a bit of trying to fix some regrets from history and the original stories. Romance to plot ratio is 2:8. The love interest is Ne Zha, one-on-one, with sweet everyday romance and absolutely no tragic love or bitter heartbreak.
2. A big mash-up of Journey to the West, Investiture of the Gods, and Lotus Lantern, blended with the New and Old Books of Tang, the Comprehensive Mirror to Aid in Government, all kinds of official and unofficial histories, and some invented history.
