After transmigrating, Gu Ning inherits a restaurant on the brink of bankruptcy and picks up a filthy little cub.
He's also got a whole group of troublemakers on his tail.
The torrential interstellar rain soaks him to the skin, and his heart... The cub beside him looks even uglier after getting rained on.
Gu Ning picks up the cub and steels himself to work hard for a living.
How hard can it be to run a restaurant?!
In his hands, even ordinary dishes become extraordinary.
Fried rice = ability-awakening medicine
Malatang = loosens your muscles and strengthens your bones
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall = instant teleportation
More and more people come from far and wide, while the little cub grows sleek and glossy, its looks improving by the day...
Huh? Where's the cub?
It turned into a man?
That's fine... Not! Aaaah!!!
Give me back my baby!
P.S. The love interest is a fox. Because he's injured, he'll have the mind of a cub during the day, but recover somewhat at night.
Thanks to Bishui Gugu for the cover character design.

New story, please add it to your reading list: The Real Young Master Really Doesn't Want to Be a Tycoon [The 1970s]
Shen Changfeng had just paid off his mortgage when he got into a car accident and transmigrated. He ended up as the cannon-fodder real young master in a novel set in a bygone era, doomed to die horribly after constantly picking fights with the fake young master, the protagonist.
Shen Changfeng's inner monologue: God, you really can't stand seeing me happy, can you?
Luckily, the little home he'd just finished paying off transmigrated with him. Everything inside refreshed once a day, so it had all the sugar, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea that were scarce in the 1970s. He stocked the fridge with pork, beef, and lamb. He'd never have to worry about missing out on delicious braised pork, soy-braised beef, or cumin lamb again!
He was living the good life, lying flat at home every day, watching shows and enjoying good food.
As for the original protagonist? Who cares?
Every now and then, when he got bored, Shen Changfeng would set up a street stall selling braised pork, chicken feet with lemon, and spicy crayfish. Even with his half-hearted routine of working for three days and slacking off for two, he somehow became the richest man in the country. His story was even more protagonist-worthy than the protagonist's.
Shen Changfeng's inner monologue: I really didn't want to be a tycoon!

"Bearing fox nine" is a big bug for the author~
Provoked... Right?
My wife's article is very good except for the fast pace. Is it the end of the story?
Cheche, hurry, sweet
Shouldn't it be "Looking up at the bright moon and thinking about my hometown"?
The protagonist is speechless! Destroy it
If possible, except for the food, I would give this chapter a negative 9 points
Wow, I've finished reading it and spread the flowers. It feels okay. I feel like it's missing a bit of meaning. It lacks impressive details and plot. Come on! Looking forward to meeting you next time.
I'm so annoyed. I'm so annoyed. Stop making noise. Okay, I'm so noisy. How can I be quiet? (I'm talking about the comments in the article describing the Internet comment section)
Familiar recipe, familiar taste haha
It turns out it wasn't a dream! So exciting!
