A heartwarming food story about everyday family life
Xu Anran, a rising star in the modern restaurant industry, opens her eyes to find herself transmigrated. Her father died young, her mother is gravely ill, she is injured, and her family is so poor they can barely afford to eat.
She transmigrates into a life that's fallen apart, but her heart remains calm.
She has seen grand families fall into ruin and knows that behind the gates of a great mansion lurk all manner of monsters and demons.
Her greatest wish in this life...
A little courtyard, a pond full of lotus flowers, and cats and dogs to keep her company.
Later, she learns that her mother has a teahouse in the mountains.
There is only one temple on the mountain, so few visitors pass by, and the teahouse has been closed ever since her father died.
So Xu Anran decides to rename the teahouse Mountain Kitchen.
Tea and snacks by day, hearty meals in the evening.
Seven-Treasure Lei Tea, plum wine, translucent flower cakes, butter snails...
Longjing shrimp, crab-stuffed oranges, vegetarian steamed duck, fish wrapped in lotus leaves...
Little by little, more and more villagers start making the trip up the mountain before sunrise every day.

Zhou Shi was born to an ordinary family. He is handsome and proper, and his sheer bull-like strength has made him one of the village's best hunters. Matchmakers have nearly worn down his doorstep, but he remains unmoved.
One day in the mountains, he sees Xu Anran digging for bamboo shoots despite her injuries. The girl's resolute face makes his heart race for no reason.
The old tree finally blossoms, and there is no stopping it.

Xu Anran is convinced she's perfect in every way, except that she's a little weak. Carrying water, chopping wood, hoeing the fields, and other chores take far too much strength.
One day, while digging for bamboo shoots on the mountain, she sees Zhou Shi carrying a wild boar weighing nearly two hundred pounds without even breathing hard. An idea strikes her.
She thinks: This man looks a little dim, but he's strong. He'd make a great waiter. If I trick him into coming to work at my shop, he can help me with all sorts of chores.
She never expected that his foolish act was just a disguise. He's a big bad wolf in sheep's clothing! He's after her, not her money!
Reading guide:
1) A soothing everyday story about rural life. It begins at the spring equinox and covers all four seasons.
2) The setting is fictional, but I will try to keep it plausible.
3) The restaurant sits beside a mountain, and most ingredients can be found there.
4) The heroine's family are all simple, hardworking farmers who keep away from the bustle and enjoy a peaceful life. With a breeze, they drift along; without one, they are content.
Upcoming novel A Cow in the Cultivation World, synopsis:
Xie Niuniu is the most honest and dutiful cow in the cultivation world. Since she lives longer than other cows, she naturally becomes the one who does the most hard labor (against her will).
Thanks to her great aptitude, in this place rich with spiritual energy, she turns into a woman.
Though she has become human, her innate nature remains. She only wants to be friends with the fields, so she starts a farming life right where she is, working the land and growing crops.
Today, a farmstay; tomorrow, a fishpond owner; the day after, digging in the mountains. Her life is endlessly pleasant.
One day, she happens to learn that she is in the First Sect, where experts abound, duels are an everyday occurrence, and people often lose limbs.
Just as she is wondering whether she should move somewhere else to farm, the cultivators go crazy!
They discover that the barren land behind the sect is gradually coming back to life. There are fresh vegetables you can eat raw, all kinds of juicy, sweet fruit, free-range chickens that love to walk, ducks that quack at the top of their lungs, and big, nimble fish that leap through the water... Delicious food, delicious food, delicious food, all of it delicious!
Overjoyed, they rush toward Xie Niuniu, the one who made it all happen.
Cultivator One: This book is a wondrous treasure, a thunderous blow! One punch, and the mountains shatter, all things reduced to dust. Take it, and you'll have to stay in the sect and keep farming!
Xie Niuniu: Are you kidding me? I just finished planting that orchard! You want me to destroy it with one punch?
Cultivator Two: This is the Spirit Beast Mastery Manual. Train in it, and you can command all beasts and communicate with their hearts.
Xie Niuniu: I'm a beast myself! We beasts have a common language! Are you looking down on beasts?
The sect's strange behavior leaves Xie Niuniu baffled. Should she leave this sect or not?
The cultivators: You're not allowed to leave!!!
We're sick of staying up all night cultivating and still eating badly!
To keep Xie Niuniu around, everyone goes from painstakingly cultivating through the night to doing everything they can to make her happy.
During their morning exercises, the cultivators all shout a slogan together:
Teacher, if you write so beautifully, I will make you angry and finish it.
