The Lucky Carp Little Chef

[I wasn't in a good place when I wrote this, and the setting has problems. I don't recommend reading it.]

At first, a young woman selling pastries appeared beneath Sajin Bridge.

Mung bean cakes, hibiscus pastries, sweet-filled buns, and milk.

Later, a breakfast stall opened by Rainbow Bridge.

Egg pancakes, sour plum drink, candied chestnuts, and steamed soup buns.

Later still, a restaurant opened downtown.

Ham-braised rice, stir-fried rice noodles, spicy cold pot skewers, and bonbon chicken.

Tomato-braised beef brisket, gem-like pork, braised pork with preserved vegetables, and peanut brittle.

Ginger milk pudding, taro cake, and the owner's homemade sweet fermented rice.

Mustard green and pork noodles made with multigrain flour, boiled fish, and sunny-side-up eggs.

This Lady Ye, already renowned throughout the Great Liang, also grows a plant called chili peppers and invents hot pot. Every day, people line up for it!

Zhao Che is known as the Great Liang's fearsome Crown Prince. He's violent-tempered and ill-natured, but he has a secret no one knows: for reasons unknown, every night he turns into a scruffy little yellow dog and inexplicably appears in a young cook's room.

And not only does the cook feed him all kinds of delicious food every day, she shamelessly pets his fur and rubs his belly!

The dignified Crown Prince! How could he let someone humiliate him like this...

Awooo!

These pork ribs in sauce that the little cook makes are so good!

The ministers of Great Liang were astonished to discover that their Crown Prince seemed to be getting fatter by the day...

[Little skit]

The first time Ye Yiyi met Zhao Che.

At the moment their eyes met...

Ye Yiyi thought she saw an invisible tail wagging behind him...

#If affection could be shown by wagging your tail, you'd feel a tornado of love from me#

Reader's guide:

1. There's a romance, and the male lead is a dog-type guy.

2. The setting is modeled on the Song dynasty, and most of the recipes are based on actual recipes.

The Pampered Little Cousin starts posting in March

When Qin Ke was fourteen, she went blind and lost both her parents. She was taken in by the Xie family, a prestigious clan and scholarly household known throughout the Great Zhou dynasty.

The entire Xie family treated Qin Ke well. Her second cousin was carefree, her third cousin gentle, and her fourth cousin considerate. Only her eldest cousin...

Qin Ke was a little afraid of him.

But good times didn't last. The Xie family was falsely accused of rebellion and executed to the last member overnight. That very day, Qin Ke was to be married into the Eastern Palace.

Amid a ten-mile stretch of red streets, Qin Ke saw colors other than black for the first time. Unfortunately, they were the color of blood...

*

Reborn, Qin Ke learned many of the Xie family's secrets.

Her second cousin seemed frivolous and carefree, but secretly studied hard.

Her third cousin seemed meticulous, but would secretly go drinking in the brothels late at night.

Her fourth cousin seemed weak and delicate, but could knock down an entire bamboo grove with a single slap.

And her eldest cousin was even more frightening...

The bravest thing Qin Ke did in this life was rush straight into an unfamiliar yet safe embrace, guided by her hearing, when Xie Yao came home. She shouted with all her might, "Eldest Cousin!"

The tall, slender young man froze. Looking at his cousin, who was acting so out of character, he saw his second, third, and fourth brothers approach with jealousy in their voices. "Xiao Ke has never been close to Eldest Brother. What brought this on today?"

Qin Ke touched her nose. In her previous life, she had been afraid of him because she couldn't see.

That day, when the enemy surrounded the city, she saw Xie Yao covered in blood, fighting his way from the palace's Yongxiang to the city wall, heedless of the swords and blades. The only person in his eyes was her.
