Liu Jinzhi transmigrated into the body of a manor maid who had knelt to death in the snow.
The first thing she did after waking up was pack her things and flee back to Bianjing.
But she never expected that her parents had died, and her heartless uncle had stolen her inheritance.
Her family was penniless, and her younger siblings had nearly starved to death...
Fortunately, Liu Jinzhi had spent three generations of her previous life learning how to cook.
No money?
Then she'll start with a street food stall.
Selling tadpole noodles:
"Mix minced garlic, chopped scallions, coarse salt, shredded galangal, cilantro leaves, toasted sesame oil, and sweet rice vinegar into a sauce and pour it over the noodles. Stir evenly with bamboo chopsticks. Just the smell alone is enough to imagine how tangy, spicy, savory, and fragrant this bowl of tadpole noodles must be, with a tender, slippery texture. One mouthful slides right down, so soft and springy you hardly need to chew."
Selling braised goose:
"The bright red braising sauce runs all over the goose, while the rising steam sends the fragrant aroma everywhere, surging toward you in waves like the sea."
Selling clay-pot porridge with aged preserved radish:
"When you use this aged preserved radish to make porridge, its saltiness and the radish's robust fragrance slowly seep into the porridge as it simmers. Add various dried ingredients and seafood, and the finished porridge may not look particularly beautiful or fancy, but its texture will be wonderfully smooth, tender, fresh, and fragrant."
There are also crystal dumplings with redbud blossoms, Longjing tea cakes, green-stream soup, crystal aspic, the Zhou Emperor's Eight Delicacies...
Liu Jinzhi's food stall becomes a sensation throughout Bianjing!
But a food stall isn't her final destination. She wants to make the best food in Bianjing and open the biggest restaurant!
Please note:
1. Family life and food
2. The male lead is a gentle, refined gentleman

[Domestic life + Married first, love later + Running a restaurant]
At fifteen, Nian Xiangxiang picked up a young crippled man and entered a fake marriage with him.
On their wedding night, she talked at length:
"I married you only to get back the restaurant that belonged to my parents."
"You're not the kind of husband I want, and we have no future together."
"Once our lives are more settled, we'll divorce and go our separate ways."
The crippled young man nodded, close to tears, and agreed.
Letting a stranger into your life is hard, but adjusting to it wasn't as difficult as she had thought.
Someone mended her tattered clothes.
Every morning when she opened her eyes, there was a hot meal waiting for her.
After a tiring day, she always came home to a slender figure waiting for her on the doorstep.
And when she ran the restaurant, someone was there to help.
She cooked, while the young man welcomed the customers.
She went shopping for ingredients, and the young man followed behind with a basket.
Gradually, the restaurant began to thrive. At first no one paid it any attention, then business picked up, and finally it became famous throughout Bianjing.
Her career was flourishing, and so was her love life.
A young man who met all her standards for a husband appeared, hoping to spend his life with her.
The crippled young man wiped away his tears, packed a small bundle, and left under cover of night.
When she found him, the young man was weeping bitterly.
She said, "Come on, let's go home."
"You're not divorcing me?"
"No."
"But I don't meet your standards for a husband."
"I can change my standards."
Nian Xiangxiang hugged him. "Yinsheng, let's spend our lives together, taking things slow and steady."
1. The woman takes charge outside, the man takes care of the home. Includes female-led romance dynamics, so if that's not your thing, don't read.
2. A slow-paced story about taking life one day at a time.
3. The male lead really is crippled, so if that bothers you, don't read.

"First let Liu Jinzhi's Four Thousand Strings" catch a big bug to the author~ Isn't it always equal to one or two? This one really confused me. Everything else is written very well. This unit of measurement is really weird.
That person is bad, but that doesn't make it right for you to be poor.
"I'll give you a reward of forty cents a day" is a big bug for the author~ Didn't it say 50 before?
There are more male supporting roles than men 💔 Let's just say that if you can't allin, there's no need to write so well
Hmm... Actually, I want to say that in the ancient environment, businessmen, especially proprietresses of small restaurants, are indeed not suitable for scholars (in a secular sense, this does not represent my personal opinion). As a time-travelling heroine, even if she has the idea of equality, does she intend to challenge the secular world? She just needs to live her own life. Even if she finds someone who is also in business, it will be easier than finding a man with a strong family and who will definitely study and become an official. This is my second or third food article. The author wants to write a story about a heroine and a male protagonist who studies and becomes an official. Every time I see this, I feel indescribably awkward.
Four thousand guan is not four thousand taels, why does it become four thousand wen???
Is there no other fate for the black-hearted uncle? After taking the original owner's money and not supporting the original owner's younger siblings, are you going to let them go like this?
"It covers an area of fifty square meters" is a big bug for the author~ In the Song Dynasty, a 50-square-meter store might be described as follows: "This store covers an area of about five feet and five feet square." Because 50 square meters is about 555approx23.45), And 23.45 Feet is about two feet, three feet, and five inches. Saying "five feet and five feet is more than enough" is a more intuitive way of describing it that conforms to the customs of weights and measures in the Song Dynasty. It allowed people at that time to roughly understand the size of the store. Of course, specific expressions may vary depending on regional customs.

I don't understand the conversion of money in this article at all. It's about money and thousands of dollars. Why won't you change it even after it's finished?
