[Pre-release: The Gluttonous Empress Grows Crops in the Harem. Come check it out.]
Blurb: Liang Qi transmigrates to Bianjing, the capital of the Great Song.
The bad news: From the start, she's a kitchen maid responsible for preparing ingredients for the Imperial Household Bureau.
The good news: Her smart kitchen has transmigrated with her!
An automatic meat slicer, a silent blender, a programmed cooking machine, a voice-activated steamer and oven, a vacuum refrigerator, and all kinds of perfectly preserved ingredients... They're all in her portable space, ready to use at any time.
What's so hard about preparing ingredients?
She slices beef, lamb, and pork into paper-thin rolls, leaving everyone speechless.
She grinds the red bean paste until it's as smooth as cream, the best in the world.
She even whips cow's milk into clotted cream, bringing cream into the world.
While everyone else prepares ingredients until their hands ache, Liang Qi laughs herself silly in the kitchen at jokes told by her smart assistant.
Before long, the kitchen maid is promoted to head chef.
Soup dumplings, almond tea, zhajiang noodles, hot dry noodles, lamb soup, river-snail rice noodles, fire-chicken noodles, durian mille-crepe cake, taro mochi... One dish after another comes out of the kitchen.
The Imperial Household Bureau's catering schedule is booked solid, and Liang Qi even opens a restaurant of her own.
Students at the Imperial College flock there to check it out.
Officials from the Three Departments and Six Ministries are afraid of arriving too late and missing out on limited-edition dishes.
Even the imperial chefs from the palace drop by from time to time to learn from her.
Who in Bianjing hasn't heard of Little Chef Liang?
And now someone's come looking to make a scene.
On the day the imperial examination results are posted, people gather beneath the list, bustling as they try to find husbands among the successful candidates.
Liang Qi only stops by to watch, but the wind catches her sash and it lands right in the new top scholar's hand.
The top scholar, immediately wrapping the sash around his wrist: "Since you want to claim me, young lady, I'll just have to accept."
Liang Qi: ???
--Pre-release on the author's page: The Gluttonous Consort Just Wants to Lie Flat--
Su Su loves good food. One day, she transmigrates into the body of a low-ranking concubine in the imperial harem.
She has the lowest rank, receives no favor, and the whole palace has nearly forgotten she exists.
Su the palace-scheme disaster but foodie: The lie-flat plan is a go.
The other consorts fight endlessly for favor, framing one another, slipping poison into food, and making passive-aggressive remarks.
Her Jingren Palace alone is peaceful, filled with baking, steaming, boiling, pan-frying, and stir-frying. Even the background music is from a different genre.
She only wanted to snack on sunflower seeds while competing with the imperial chef in a cooking contest. How did the Imperial Household Department end up treating her so well?
She only shared a hot pot meal with the little prince. How did she get promoted to Noble Lady?
She only made a soufflé when the empress asked her to. How did she become the mistress of a palace?
She only prepared a huge feast for the empress dowager's birthday banquet. How did she end up ranked among the Four Consorts?
Su Su thinks it over: Surely I can keep lying flat as a consort, right?
Who knew that just leaving half a bowl of leftover zhajiang noodles for the emperor out of "kindness" would make the old emperor so deeply moved that he issued an edict promoting Consort Su to Noble Consort Su?
A noble consort has to help manage the harem. Su Su is so angry she throws down her spatula. "So I can't just lie flat like a salted fish anymore, is that it?!"
Later, Su Su becomes the empress dowager.
The court historian "interviews" her: How did you triumph at every step and fight your way out of the inner palace?
The empress dowager gazes into the distance. "Back then, I only left Jingren Palace because I wanted to have a few fragrant-free sunflower seeds."
Theme: Eat well and live well
The author needs to take good care of his health first and don't be in a hurry. I will always be waiting here.
Why do I feel like I've seen this before?
Is this article a scam?
Spread support, the author should take a good rest first, and don't be in a hurry to write. Take care of yourself.
I can't bear to feel like this anymore... I say I want to take a bite of the other person, but in fact I have been taken advantage of by my enemies. A modern worker with a monthly salary of 2,000 will not be so angry and sell his leader's face, and he is not selling himself into slavery...
No one in the knife guild wants to watch from the sidelines? After all, it's not like cooking can be an excuse for exclusive recipes. Not to mention whipping cream, no one feels wrong with so many people coming and going in the kitchen?
Although there is a dishwasher, doesn't it look like a weak one to outsiders and can be bullied? 🐶 Anyway, there is a dishwasher, but the arrogance is weaker [Clown]
I was wondering if I could use wood planing method to plan the mutton slices.
This book is so good, but it's not updated anymore 😭 😭 😭 😭 No, no
I suddenly thought of this article. Isn't it back yet? TAT Miss you, this article is really interesting
