Interested readers can also check out my new story, another food novel: Super Popular High School Cafeteria.] The He family had been in the imperial chef business for a hundred years, but after years of poor management, the family announced it was going bankrupt. He Zhenxiu had only just transmigrated when she opened her eyes to the spectacular sight of her family losing everything and creditors demanding payment. Her parents, brothers, and sisters were all tied up like dumplings, tearfully saying their goodbyes as they were about to be sold off to pay the debts. And the original owner was quite beautiful, so she was to be sold to a filthy place. He Zhenxiu: "..." Help. She hurriedly spoke up. "Wait!" "I have the He family's secret recipes, passed down for a hundred years! Give me a month's grace, and I'll hand over a hundred taels of silver!" She rolled up her sleeves and got to work. Lamb and beef sizzled in the pan. Boiled meat in a spicy broth, fish in a golden sauce, Dongpo pork, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall... Before long, the streets of Bianjing were so packed that nobody could get through. The line stretched around the city walls three times over. From The Travels of John Robert: "In the distant and mysterious East lies an astounding nation. Its nobles will queue all night for a single meal. Hermits come down from their mountains overnight, scholars get into fistfights, and everyone goes mad, ready to lick their plates clean. In the end... I decided to settle there, too." [Reader's Guide] 1. One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins. 2. Inspired by the Song Dynasty, but set in a fictional world with plenty of original details. Please don't nitpick the history. 3. This is a food novel, so please come read it after you've eaten your fill~ Coming next: What If I Became Rich? Du Ruo is a top student recruited from a provincial key school to a private middle school. She's frail and small, from a poor family, and her mother works three jobs to support them. In a parallel world, Du Ruo is the daughter of the city's real estate tycoon. Her family donated two buildings to get her into the top class. She dyes her hair, wears miniskirts, and gets the worst grades in the class, driving her teachers to scream in frustration. One day, top student Du Ruo and rich-and-beautiful Du Ruo switch lives. The top student wakes up in a five-meter-wide bed. The housekeeper warms milk for her, the driver waits with a smile to take her to school, and her tycoon father racks his brains trying to please her before handing her a bank card with a hundred thousand in pocket money. The rich girl wakes up aching all over on a hard, 1.2-meter-wide bed. She slowly pulls on a cheap outfit from a street stall, then drinks a bowl of watery rice porridge that costs fifty cents, her eyes red-rimmed. Theme: Promoting traditional Chinese cuisine
