A Marriage Swap in the 1960S: Marrying a Chef

[Several completed period novels and food stories in my author profile] After enduring seven or eight years in the apocalypse and going hungry, Wang Ying transmigrated to the 1960s. Her cousin, who lived in another branch of the family, came down with a fever. When she woke up, she started making a huge fuss about breaking off her engagement to the man she had been promised to. Her tearful aunt came to Wang Ying and asked her to marry him instead. When Wang Ying heard he was a cook, she was delighted. A cook was great. Hadn’t they always said that even after three years of drought, a cook wouldn’t starve? After everything she’d been through in the apocalypse, Wang Ying’s greatest dream was simply to eat her fill. Her cousin went to great lengths to steal Wang Ying’s marriage arrangement, expecting to become the wife of a wealthy tycoon in a few years. But then, while her cousin was busy currying favor with her stepchildren, Wang Ying was eating roasted chicken. While her cousin was caught up in the squabbles between her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law, Wang Ying was eating fish with pickled vegetables. While her cousin was busy with housework and cooking over the stove, Wang Ying was eating pork and cabbage stewed with glass noodles. Her cousin kept counting the years on her fingers. Why wasn’t she a tycoon’s wife yet? Meanwhile, Wang Ying’s cook husband won awards, prepared banquets for state leaders, and opened a chain of hotels. As the poker-faced cook washed Wang Ying’s feet, Xu Shuang asked her fondly, “How about rose-filled glutinous rice balls for a late-night snack?” [Important] 1. The heroine is a disaster in the kitchen. The hero is the only one who cooks throughout the story. 2. The heroine has a golden finger. 3. Poker-faced cook x food-loving young doctor. 4. An everyday story with a gentle pace and a large ensemble cast. Theme: Promote food culture
