This story's blurb:

This is the story of a legendary chef who transmigrates into the body of an inept descendant and rebuilds the family business.

Sang Jiuwei, the founding master of the Nine Flavors Restaurant, was so renowned that even the emperor would politely offer a generous reward just to taste her cooking. But a jealous noblewoman sent assassins after her, and she fell off a cliff, dying at the age of twenty-three.

When she wakes up, she discovers that she has become an inept descendant a thousand years in the future. Her parents are dead, she's living under someone else's roof, and all she's inherited is a naive older brother and a fly-ridden little eatery called the Nine Flavors Restaurant... You call this a restaurant?

Are all her descendants useless? (￣︶￣)

She has to rebuild the empire she worked so hard to establish. Hmph.

They say the person in charge of the Sang Family Hotel is the rightful heir to the Nine Flavors Cookbook, and that Director Sang's daughter is the most talented cook of her generation, a genius young culinary goddess. Their marketing is everywhere, so how come their food isn't as good as the stuff from some little fly-ridden eatery?

Sang Jiuwei: The Nine Flavors Cookbook? Isn't that the manual I wrote for my disciples?

To bring back the Nine Flavors Restaurant, Sang Jiuwei has no choice but to take on apprentices, teach them, take on more apprentices, and teach them...

Older brother (looking miserable): Little sister, I really might not have any talent for cooking!

Sang Jiuwei (picking out a slender cane): It's all right. Leave it to me. (￣︶￣)

There are no apprentices who can't be taught, only not enough canes!

If her apprentices don't graduate, how is she supposed to slack off?!

Note: There isn't much romance. The male lead is just in the background. The story doesn't stay in a fly-ridden eatery for long; it gets upgraded soon, and the villains are in the background too.

The Little Cook's Guide to Supporting Her Family blurb:

It took Su Qingli eight years to become the top chef of her generation. Her dishes were impossible to get your hands on.

On the glorious (showing-off) day she went to pay respects to her ancestors, she transmigrated into the body of a foolish girl with the same name in the Great Xia Dynasty...

And she was especially poor!

Ancestors, you're really my ancestors! (collapses on the ground and sobs.jpg)

Luckily, her new family seems fairly dependable.

Fine, fine, she just needs to make money. There's no way a top chef like her is going to starve to death!

Starting with a little roadside tea stall, she gathers grass jelly to make a new treat. Don't let its dark green color fool you: it's cooling, refreshing, and delicious!

She makes a name for herself, and becomes the go-to drink shop for traveling merchants and people taking countryside outings or going to burn incense.

Then the tea stall starts selling snacks and other tasty food too, and it becomes a sensation.

Donghe meat pies, chewy and fragrant; spring rolls, springy and refreshing; qingtuan dumplings that can be filled with anything...

The wealthy and powerful: Shall we go to burn incense (and eat)?

Once she makes enough money to open a shop, Su Qingli is firmly in her comfort zone.

Pan-frying, grilling, boiling, deep-frying, braising, stewing, and stir-frying; delicacies, desserts, and chilled dishes...

She wields her spatula and leads the whole village to the pinnacle of success!
