Song Yunxi transmigrated into a story about a real and fake heiress, becoming the fake one.
She didn’t get to enjoy a single day of luxury. From the start, she was thrown out of the marquis’s estate and sent back to the dirt-poor Song family.
Song Yunxi quietly picked up her spatula and returned to her old trade.
Starting with boxed meals, she set out to win over the people of the Great Xia Kingdom, one meal at a time.
“Pork? It smells awful. Who’d eat this stuff... Shopkeeper, bring me another serving of pork and glass noodles!”
“Intestines? Such filthy things aren’t fit for an official like me... Mm, delicious. Bring me another plate.”
“Chicken feet? Tasteless, and no gentleman would eat them... Pack me ten more servings of these tiger-skin chicken feet!”
“...”
The people of the Great Xia Kingdom gradually came to understand one thing:
There are no ingredients that taste bad, only cooks who aren’t skilled enough.
And the young proprietress of Song’s Eatery was the most skillful cook in the land. Whatever food she prepared became delicious beyond compare.
When the marquis’s estate learned the truth about what had happened all those years ago and tried to bring Song Yunxi back, they discovered she had already risen higher than they had.
Not only were many high-ranking officials and nobles among her customers, gladly offering thousands of taels of silver just for the chance to enjoy one of her feasts, she was also an honored guest at the Eastern Palace.
