A Winning Life in the 1970s [Gourmet]

Main story complete.

[The neighboring novel, Whale Princess's Beloved Life in the 1990s, is being drafted. Please add it to your reading list.]

Blurb:

What's it like to have the golden finger of 'Spirit Words'?

One sentence can help a good person find a wild chicken and become rich beyond their dreams!

One sentence can make a bad person break a leg, get disfigured, or fall into a cesspit!

With just a few words, she can make anything happen as she wishes!

Le Ru transmigrates into a sweet, naive village beauty, a cannon-fodder character in a period novel.

Only on the verge of death does she learn

that she was nothing but a stand-in for the big shot's moonlight.

Fortunately,

she not only has the golden finger of 'Spirit Words,'

but also brings her excellent cooking skills to the resource-poor 1970s.

Tired of potatoes? How about crispy tornado potato sticks?

Hundreds of villagers have to share one wild chicken, and it's a real headache. How about chicken-shredded cold noodles instead?

The fish are jumping in the river. How about catching some and making pickled cabbage fish?

Or, if all else fails, try some little fish pan-fried with flatbread!

Before long, the eldest Le daughter earns the nickname 'Little Chef.'

People from all the surrounding villages come to sample her cooking.

Even important people from the city drive their Red Flag cars all the way out to this backwater,

just to taste the food made by the so-called 'Little Chef.'

With skills like these,

who needs a big shot?

She should hurry up and stay away from the main plot, make a fortune with her best friend, and reach the pinnacle of life!

But before she can become a ten-thousand-yuan household,

a crowd of important people suddenly arrives from the city,

carrying a will and insisting that she inherit an estate worth hundreds of billions!

Oh my gosh, she's a trust-fund baby who gets to win without lifting a finger!

Content warnings:

1. Both leads transmigrate. The female lead, Le Ru, and her friend Jiang Heng were not a couple before transmigrating.

2. The original male lead is reborn and chases after his wife, but he may not succeed!

3. The story focuses on friendship and family, with romance coming later.

4. An everyday-life story with a warm, slice-of-life feel and occasional face-slapping. Domestic concerns, a leisurely pace, and building a prosperous life.

5. The female lead has a lucky koi-fish persona. She has amazing luck, and whatever she says comes true.

Whale Princess's Beloved Life in the 1990s

In one sentence: A blue whale princess cub transmigrates as a little lucky star in the 1990s!

Blurb:

As the saying goes, when a whale falls, all things thrive.

Jiang Xiaojing is the most doted-on little princess of the whale clan.

One day, she transmigrates

and becomes a minor cannon-fodder character in a period novel.

In the book,

her brother is thrown beside a railway as a child, grows up and goes astray, and eventually turns against their parents;

after working hard all their lives and earning a lot of money, her parents are targeted by her second uncle's family. Their reputation is ruined, they lose everything, and they die in despair;

her beloved grandfather also ends up alone, with not a soul beside him when he dies.

She herself is used by the female lead and eventually becomes a stepping stone for the male lead, dying in a car accident.

It's all so tragic!!!

H-how can she put up with that?!

Jiang Xiaojing gets so angry that a tall plume of water vapor shoots from her blowhole!

To her surprise,

her plume of water vapor turns into a heavenly downpour!

It eases the long drought in the area around Banxi Village!!!

Later...

The people of Banxi Village say the old Jiang family at the east end of the village has a little granddaughter who's the reincarnation of a lucky child!

Ever since the day she was born, the Jiang family's life has gotten better and better.

Not only has their eldest son, who went missing years ago, come home, he's brought back a number of city folk. Word is that they're all important, wealthy people!

Her parents' business is booming, too. They've bought several villas in the city and have become the richest family in the country!

Even old Master Jiang has moved to the city early to enjoy his retirement!

Most importantly, Banxi Village has never suffered another drought!

The harvests get better every year!

Everyone's life has gotten so much better!

A work of pure fantasy, with no real-life inspiration.

The female lead's behavior and personality do not represent the author's own. Please don't take it too seriously.
