My Days Running a Gourmet City in Ancient Times

At first, Meng Qingzhou was just testing the waters with a 6-yuan first-recharge bonus. Then a whole string of big bundles, priced at 199, 328, 698, and more, disappeared into the game like a stone sinking into the sea. When she finally came to her senses and saw her own ID at the top of the spending leaderboard in Food Tycoon, her vision went black. When she woke up again, she was drowning in debt and had become Yuanling County's notorious spendthrift. She had too little to eat or wear, and everyone hated her. Other than a pretty face and a barren mountain where not a blade of grass grew, she had nothing... Wait! Was her game account still here?! Her confidence returned in an instant. Without a second thought, Meng Qingzhou set up a little shop and let everyone laugh at her to their hearts' content. The next day, she served up a bowl of max-level egg fried rice. After that... The county magistrate's son, who suffered from anorexia, got hungry. The young abbot, who had no desires, could no longer make himself leave. The free-spirited, flirtatious swordsman lugged around a bag of gold ingots and refused to go. The little shop grew noisy and bustling. A whole crowd shouted for her attention nonstop: "Chef Meng, where's my food?!" *A slow-burn, everyday food story *Entirely fictional setting, with lots of original worldbuilding [This novel goes premium on May 24, 2021.
