Transmigrating to a Tang Dynasty Tavern

Thanks to Chaye's cover-art shop for the illustration. After finally transmigrating back to the Tang Dynasty, he found himself a useless scholar. Although he was nominally a young master, in reality his family had nothing but bare walls. His only assets were a storefront out front and a little courtyard in the back. With no other choice, he devoted himself to researching recipes. He only wanted to live a little better in this world and satisfy his appetite along the way. Why was even that so hard? 1. This is a male-male romance with a bottom as the main character. The bottom is delicate, soft, and easy to push over. 2. This is a slow-paced slice-of-life farming and food story. 3. The author promises not to abandon the story and will update on time. Praise and bookmarks, please. XOXO~ (≧▽≦)/~, (≧▽≦)/~... 4. Thanks to Suosuo for the suggestions. Following the Tang Dynasty setting exactly would create some plot holes, so the general setting comes after The Heroes of Sui and Tang. I'll gloss over the little inconsistencies where I can. If there's one I can't ignore, please point it out. 5. I'm not much of a cook, just a foodie, so I bought cookbooks especially for this story. Some of the recipes are taken from various cookbooks, and the dish names come from sources such as Hangzhou Southern Song Dynasty Recipes, Traditional Hangzhou Dishes and Dim Sum, The Twenty-Four Seasonal Dishes, and Qing Yi Lu. If you have a favorite dish or a local specialty, please leave a comment below the story. While you're at it, please bookmark my author page. There's a loyal dog from the Everything Shop inside, and he absolutely won't bite you until your face is covered in blood. The story becomes a paid novel tomorrow. Thank you for all your support and affection. I know there may not be as many comments after that, but I'm shamelessly asking you to keep supporting me. I also know piracy is unavoidable, but a friend told me that stealing chapters the instant they're posted is going a bit too far. I hope you'll understand and support me. This is my new story, and the full manuscript is already complete. Please support it and add it to your collection! Theme:
