--Synopsis--
Lou Yi transmigrates to a dynasty that doesn't exist in any history he knows. Still, there's one comforting thing: he's a noble heir of exalted status!
At first, Lou Yi plans to coast through life, living off others until he dies.
What? A culinary wasteland! That's unacceptable.
Lou Yi could live without his life in this world, but he absolutely cannot live without good food. Death would be the end of everything, but life without good food would be worse than death.
No white sugar? No problem. Lou Yi will find a way!
No chili peppers? Don't worry, Lou Yi will send people to look for them.
No fine wine? Easy. Lou Yi knows how to make yeast starters.
Everybody! One, two, three restaurants are up and running!
What! The emperor of a neighboring country is demanding that Lou Yi come open restaurants in his territory, or he'll start a war!
I've never heard of anyone threatening somebody into making money for them!
Is Lou Yi the kind of man who'd bow to force? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
How about trying out some explosives, buddy? If I don't blow up your palace, I'll admit defeat. Just look at the genes in my family line. I'm born lucky.
After dealing with the neighboring country, Lou Yi announces that the prices at all the restaurants he owns there will double!
The people of the neighboring country curse their own emperor as they eat. Why did you have to provoke him? Now all the money in our pockets is lining the pockets of that greedy businessman, Lou Yi!
Theme: Through food, a reflection of culture, history, and personal experience, we nourish the human soul, bring people together, create memories, and stir emotions.
