Even the God of Cooking Has Homework [Gourmet]

[Complete] [The author has several completed period dramas and food-themed novels. Feel free to follow!] Wen Fan, a female imperial food official of the Great Xia Dynasty, died. In the treacherous imperial court, even with her extraordinary culinary skills, she never found out how she died. After death, a story unrelated to her flashed before her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she had become the story’s ridiculous third wheel, tangled up between the hero and heroine. She neglected her studies for the sake of romance, pretended to come from a wealthy family to make life difficult for the heroine, and abandoned her family to pursue the hero… Wen Fan frowned. She couldn’t understand why anyone, a hundred years later, would give up the chance to study for a man. At the time, the wealthy hero had ulterior motives when he invited Wen Fan to have fun at a famous bar. Wen Fan stood up and slung her backpack over her shoulder, her tone calm. “No thanks. I’m going home to help my parents. You’re welcome to come eat at my place if you don’t mind. It’s right across from the school, the second-to-last house.” There’s a local legend in A City about a tiny restaurant with amazing food, ordinary prices, and long lines. It only serves three tables a week, though. Wen Fan: You’ve got to be kidding. Don’t I have homework to do when I get home? Once I’m done, I only have time to cook for three tables! [Please note] 1.
