Blurb: Zhao Xiyin transmigrates into the body of an ordinary young cook in the Imperial Food Bureau.
She thinks it's a decent, respectable job, but who could have guessed that every master in the palace would be so difficult to please?
The emperor's appetite is unpredictable, the empress has exacting tastes, and the noble consort is fussy about her food... One slip-up and she'll be rewarded with a beating.
The entire Imperial Food Bureau: Trembling.jpg
Luckily, Zhao Xiyin comes with a mind-reading buff.
The emperor, unable to work up an appetite as he reviews memorials: [The Imperial Food Bureau serves chicken, duck, fish, and meat every day. Can't they make something fresh for spring?]
Zhao Xiyin: "Steamed locust flowers, steamed shepherd's purse, elm-seed buns, peach-blossom fruit drinks, and spring-stream vinegar fish. Coming right up!"
The emperor eats until tears stream down his face. "Waaah, the taste of freedom outside the palace."
The empress stares at the account books, unable to eat: [I want blazing-hot food. Blazing hot!]
Zhao Xiyin: "Sichuan-style malatang, spicy pork tripe, mala stir-fry, and spicy chicken. Coming right up!"
The empress eats until tears and snot run down her face. "That hits the spot!"
The noble consort dabs on scented rouge, unable to stomach her food: [I've gone crazy. I want something stinky.]
Zhao Xiyin: "Extra-stinky river-snail rice noodles, durian mille-crepe cake, pork-intestine noodles, and stinky tofu. Coming right up!"
The noble consort stinks up the whole palace as she eats. "Mmm, I'm hooked."
Zhao Xiyin always manages to figure out exactly what the masters want. She's never once been wrong.
From the emperor and empress dowager to the princes and princesses,
Zhao Xiyin: "Coming right up. I'll make it all!"
The delighted masters: "Reward her! Give this little cook all the gold, silver, and jewels!"
Actually, she should now be called a court lady of the Imperial Food Bureau.
She even outshines the higher-ranking Court of Imperial Sacrifices and Imperial Kitchen Directorate.
The third-rank head of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices sobs, "Lady Zhao, please help us out and draw up a menu for the Longevity Festival!"
-
Zhao Xiyin has always thought that the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace dislikes her. Why else would he turn and leave whenever he saw her, never once giving her a kind look?
Until she hears his thoughts: [My heart's beating too fast. I'm not ready to confess yet.]
Zhao Xiyin: ?
--The next serial, Bianjing Foot Spa, is now underway. See the author's page--
Shen Miaomiao transmigrates into the body of a spoiled young lady.
After her wicked stepmother stirs up trouble, she is thrown out of the house.
The only thing left to her by her late mother is a bathhouse, but it's been so poorly run that it's on the verge of closing.
Everyone is waiting to laugh at the spoiled young lady.
Shen Miaomiao, who used to review wellness centers in her previous life: I only know how to "eat, drink, and have fun," anyway.
A bathhouse can't just offer scrubbing. Hot spring baths, premium spa treatments, all-you-can-eat food, billiards, mahjong... Let's get it going!
Later...
A long line forms outside the bathhouse, and it makes a fortune every day.
The little shop turns into a commercial district, bigger than the largest entertainment quarter.
Foot baths replace afternoon tea for noblewomen, and spas become the hottest topic among young ladies.
As for Shen Miaomiao... Who would dare call her spoiled now?
Thanks to the foot spa, everyone in Bianjing has become "spoiled."
A little scene:
After the court officials, even the emperor comes to the bathhouse and orders an "essential-oil back scrub."
The old bath attendant strips him and pins him face-down on the bathing table. His legs shake. "Y-You mean I have to take off even my loincloth?"
Through the screen, someone hears the emperor howl: "Don't scrub that damn spot! My butt... crack!"

Just treat it as an ordinary food article and it's fun to read. There's no logic, but it's okay.
Finished spreading flowers!! [Spread flowers][sprinkle flowers][sprinkle flowers] It's really super pretty! In fact, I was a little worried about this when I first talked about Prince's CP. Fortunately, it was explained at the end. Don't worry, it's true that it's plain and simple [Spreading Flowers]
Madam... Your writing is so short... Why are everything you write so short... Dessert Shop is also very short...
It's so good, it's the first novel I've read in a while! I can feel it has flesh and blood, I like 😆 and look at the full scale [three-flowered cat head]
Sprinkle flowers! [Spread flowers][spread flowers] Super pretty!!!
I've finished reading it. It's pretty even even though it's plain~[Rabbit Head with Erect Ears]
There is too little written and not enough to read.
Sweet little article, very cute!
"The Ai family is very satisfied with this daughter-in-law" is a big mistake for the author ~ this should be the grandson-in-law.
