The Eight Delicacies Restaurant of the Martial World

[Complete] Please leave a five-star review!

“Golden Hairpins” and “The Eight Delicacies Inn: The Nine Provinces Cauldron Arc” are coming soon.

The Eight Delicacies Inn has plenty of food. All wandering martial arts foodies are welcome!

An unconventional food story + martial-world ensemble cast + occasional silliness + occasional passion + a healing road-trip story featuring a private kitchen on wheels.

The heroine is laid-back, but that doesn’t stop the private dishes she cooks from becoming a sensation in the martial world, worth a fortune!

*

The martial world is a small place. People who roam the martial world will sooner or later cross paths with the Eight Delicacies Inn, which travels in a few horse-drawn carriages.

The inn’s waiter is Caoshangpiao, the martial world’s greatest lightness kung fu master. He is graceful and elegant, and never spills a drop of soup when serving dishes or delivering takeout!

The odd-job man is Baixiaotong. While washing dishes, he can find out any martial-world secret you want to know. Of course, there are no secrets in the martial world.

As for the bookkeeper, whether a meal costs five thousand taels or five coins depends mostly on the weather, and also on his mood.

Wherever people are, there is the martial world.

And wherever the martial world is, the Eight Delicacies Inn is there too!

We’re hiring!

A series of connected little stories from the martial world: the warmth and coldness of human relationships, chivalry, family, friendship, romance, pets, food, life and death. I’ll write until I run out of things to say!

*

Heroine: Open for business.

Formerly a great demon who killed without batting an eye; now an assistant chef who chops bones, raises chickens, and grows vegetables. Translation: I’ve been holding back for ages! Finally, I can use a knife!

It’s another day of the Eight Delicacies Inn warmly (not really) welcoming martial-world guests!

A few things to know before reading:

1. This story is also known as “Miss Wang’s Mobile Martial-World Private Kitchen,” a private kitchen on wheels.

2. It’s a proper private kitchen. The Eight Delicacies Inn mostly serves dine-in customers, but occasionally offers takeout.

3. A short story, full of made-up details, in a completely fictional setting. It’s very much a fantasy, written for fun.

4. The story may well follow the characters’ whims, so please don’t make personal attacks against the author.

Xiaobai: Why doesn’t the blurb mention me?

Heroine: You were poisoned and lost your martial arts. You can only get your super strength back by eating spinach, so you’re always hanging around the Eight Delicacies Inn for free food. It’s not exactly a fresh idea.

Xiaobai: …Then what about Lao Qu?

Heroine: Most bosses won’t let someone called “Unfollow” appear in their blurb.

Please add my upcoming story “Golden Hairpins” to your collection!

*The story of the five beloved granddaughters of the old lady of the Yong’an Earl’s household, an ensemble cast of women.

The old lady of the Yong’an Earl’s household has four beloved granddaughters, all with elaborate coiffures and golden hairpins, dignified and graceful in their own ways.

At home, they squabble all day long. In public, they act like dutiful sisters.

The old lady isn’t worried about these four granddaughters.

She has one worry she can never let go of: When will she find the fourth granddaughter who went missing as a child?

Please add my upcoming story “Sect Basics? Great-Grandmaster, You’re Anything but Basic!” to your collection!

Starting in January, ready to warm up your reading list!

[An unofficial great-grandmaster and her little sprouts, just about to bloom. A heartwarming, healing story with a big helping of satisfying wish fulfillment!]

The great demon Ning Ran transmigrates into a book!

She arrives in a conventional cultivation novel, at a minor immortal sect. At the very beginning, the sect’s pillars perish along with the forces of evil.

Then the scene shifts, and the sect’s hopes for the future sacrifice their souls for all living beings.

All that remains is a bunch of little sprouts waiting to grow, who are obviously malnourished.

The little sprouts are crying as they’re driven to the brink, their noses running as they declare in baby voices that they’ll defend the sect to the death!

Ning Ran’s brows knit as she watches…

*

Get up and cultivate! Otherwise, our sect will be wiped out tomorrow!

Sprout No. 1: Great-Grandmaster, do we really need to work this hard when we’re just a marginal sect?

Sprout No. 2: Great-Grandmaster, not getting enough sleep will stunt my growth~

Sprout No. 3: Great-Grandmaster, I’m hungry. Can I have a bun first? I can’t train on an empty stomach…

Sprout No. 4: Great-Grandmaster, my little head is buzzing from being so tired. Can I lie down for a bit?

Sprout No. 5, Sprout No. 6…

The unofficial great-grandmaster, a proper great demon: Lie down? Haven’t you seen what happened to everyone who lay flat before? They all ended up lying down for good!

In my world, every other sect is the marginal one!

The little sprouts nod like pecking chicks.

Theme: Travel the martial world well, and eat well! Chivalry and the warmth and coldness of human relationships.
