Food for Sweetness

From Tianhuang nobles to peddlers and lackeys, Yandi has conquered countless diners with his cooking skills. However, we happened to pick up a sick young man—— He vomited after eating the fragrant, thick and glutinous rice porridge with sesame seeds. The crispy and crunchy steamed buns with sour fillings were hard for him to swallow. He thanked him for the scallion oil pancakes that were crispy on the outside and tough on the inside. The sweet and salty honey-stuffed saury was like a stick in his throat. The fried grasshoppers that were burnt and black, and the fried bean dregs that made people run around in choking... Did he eat these? ? Later, the young man brought her back from Bandit Mountain with scars on his face. He lay on the bed and pulled her sleeves, asking angrily: "What should we eat for dinner?"

She set off for the capital, and merchants from afar brought news that she had opened a restaurant that was well-known in the capital. The restaurant had verandas with eaves and seats like flowing water, and was bustling day and night. And when he started doing business, she entrusted her to bring him all the way... The test questions for Taixue's planned provincial examination. That spring day, with willow branches flying in the alleys of the capital, he finally boarded the carriage heading to the Ministry of Etiquette. Under the curtains of the carriage, he looked at her bright smiling eyebrows. "Teacher, can I help you come back with a top score?" ———————————————————————— ★The background of this article is based on the Song Dynasty, and the food, imperial examinations and folk customs are all close to the Song Dynasty. ★The main thing is food, supplemented by the imperial examination, and the male and female protagonists work together to pursue careers. ★The heroine's skills are in cooking and knowledge, not gold fingers.
