A Snack Stall at the Imperial College (Food)

Tao Lezhen transmigrates and becomes Tao Demei, a young woman in ancient times whose parents are both dead and whose engagement has been broken off. She looks at the ramshackle hut that seems ready to topple in the wind, and at her younger brother and sister, both so hungry they’re skin and bones. Tao Lezhen turns down the neighbors’ attempts to set her up on blind dates, rolls up her sleeves, and pushes a cart to the entrance of the Imperial College to start a street-food business. “Jianbing guozi! Tasty and affordable! Add an egg, chicken strips, ham, shredded pork floss, or a fried dough stick!” “Lamb skewers, lamb skewers! Fragrant, sizzling lamb skewers, two coins each!” “Pearl milk tea! Milk tea with pearls, warms your stomach and beautifies your skin. A winter special!” The students at the Imperial College have long suffered through the cafeteria food, which has made every meal a chore. It’s only when Miss Tao’s food stall appears that they discover the joy of studying. “Miss Tao, one jianbing guozi, please!” “I want one too!” “I’ll have lamb skewers!” “One pearl milk tea for me!” Meanwhile, the parents can’t figure out why their children sneak out before dawn every day. They decide to investigate, only to find all their sons gathered around a pretty young woman, doing who knows what. “Morals have decayed… The world is upside down… So tasty and affordable…” “Your father is getting on in years and needs to build up his strength. It’s fine if you skip a couple of meals!” “You only think about yourself, you unfilial son.” “Big brother, you’ve already eaten so much. Hand it over!” Theme: Hard work brings prosperity
