A Record of Ancient Cuisine and Making a Living

Food blogger Shen Yingxue transmigrated.

Other people who transmigrate to ancient times become royalty or at least the daughters of rich families.

But when she opened her eyes, all she saw was a thatched cottage and a straw bed.

There were five people in the family, and they were old, weak, sick, and disabled. All they were missing was someone pregnant.

Her grandmother was ninety, and her younger twin siblings were still babies.

The only person she could count on, her mother, was sickly too.

Shen Yingxue felt like she might not be up to the task.

To feed herself, improve their quality of life, and find a little happiness, Shen Yingxue had no choice but to return to her old trade and work as a cook. She set up a food stall.

Fluffy wontons and taro cakes, pan-fried silverfish and red bean porridge.

There were new dishes every day, and every one was a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.

Whether they were officials and nobles or ordinary folk, people crowded around the food stall until it was packed every day.

Just as life was getting better day by day, the father everyone said had died long ago came home...
