Blurb:
When Qiao Tan closed her eyes and opened them again, she had become a villager in Luping Village.
Her mother, a former concubine cast out of a wealthy household, was gravely ill and died suddenly. Her twin younger siblings were under ten, malnourished and frail.
As for her, after going to the household to ask for her monthly wages, she had been beaten by her stepmother until she was covered in bruises. By the time she returned to Luping Village, she was barely breathing.
Qiao Tan: This is awful, but... no matter how hard life gets, you can't let your stomach suffer. If you've got hands, you can make money.
The mountains are full of wild fruit in summer. Make it into candied fruit and jam. Dry fresh mushrooms in the sun, then use them to make fragrant mushroom-and-meat-sauce noodles.
Golden pancakes, good with anything. A richly savory pancake with a dozen kinds of sauce. Wontons, lamb offal, and tofu pudding. Soup dumplings with thin skins and piping-hot broth.
Fried dough sticks go best with soy milk. Nobody holds back when sharing roujiamo with friends and family. Look in the purse: silver aplenty. Hotpot, spicy and sizzling, with endless variations!
Before long, her timid, meek younger brother was saying, "Hold the pig down. I'll slaughter it!"
Her shy, introverted younger sister was saying, "We've got delicious spicy shrimp and pickled cabbage fish! Would you like to try some, honored guest?"
The friendly, hospitable waiter was saying, "My boss doesn't like people waving weapons around. You can leave. Next!"
Qiao Tan, working in the kitchen until she lost track of day and night: "?"
The news that Luping Village had produced a female culinary genius soon reached the military camp outside the capital.
From the commander down to the cooks, soldiers came in one wave after another, eager to feast at Qiao's Eatery.
Sweet-and-sour crispy pork, spicy and fragrant mapo tofu, tender fish maw braised to perfection, delicate and sweet steamed shad.
This, this, this!
How does that great general manage to resist coming here to eat?!
Until one day.
They saw the wise, mighty, handsome and extraordinary great general sneak into the backyard of Qiao's Eatery under cover of night and quietly fill the water jar to the brim.
Everyone: "..." They seemed to have discovered something incredible!
Theme: Hard work brings rewards
Uh... It's weird to call me big brother in ancient times...
I thought the auntie was suffering from discomfort after eating to cause trouble.
I haven't watched it for a long time and found out that the update is finished. Why do I feel so sick after watching it? Yang Wanqing is also disgusted, Qiao Song is also disgusted, Qiao Zhong's family is even more disgusting
All I can say is don't let this member of the staff become invisible. The main wife is bad but the member of the staff is not good either. Moreover, the heroine is a modern person, so why does she only think about her brother studying? It is understandable that the others are natives and men have always studied. But the heroine is a modern person, so why does she only think about her brother studying, and not even her sister? Reading or not is a matter of time. The heroine has been educated in modern times. It is one thing to still only think about her younger brother when she sees that she is studying. You cannot use the younger brother to be smarter and the younger sister to have an unstable mind. It is also very strange that the two are the same age. No matter how smart the younger sister is, she is not big-hearted.)
It's a bit frustrating. It's always like this. It's so annoying. It's like a fly. It can't be solved and it keeps happening. Alas,
Is the emotional scene so abrupt?
I feel hungry and want to eat roast duck 🧋
"Shadow" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ silver
This emotional line is so abrupt. . .
We are enemies in the same industry. I can't guarantee that she won't be jealous after making money.
