The ’90S Nanny Builds a Food Empire

[Food + family life + raising kids + building a fortune] In 1994, Lin Xiangxiu mustered the courage to bring her child to the city to find her husband. On the way, she had a dream: her husband had married another woman, denied their marriage, and even planned to trick her into staying in the city as a nanny to care for his pregnant wife. Lin Xiangxiu kicked him straight into the police station, never expecting the kick to land her a job opportunity. The leader's family was looking for a nanny for Mr. Lu, a picky, fastidious man who was hard to please. The pay was a generous three yuan an hour. Lin Xiangxiu thought it over. Being a nanny was being a nanny, so she might as well take the job! In spring, she made spring pancakes, bamboo shoots and fresh pork soup, and braised rice with bamboo shoots. In summer, she served spicy mint chicken feet and blanched squid. In autumn, she made steamed hairy crabs and lotus root stuffed with sticky rice and osmanthus. In winter, she cooked grilled barbecue and steamed cured sausage. With her incredible cooking skills, she managed to fatten everyone up. Strangely, ever since she started working as a nanny, nannies seemed to be in short supply throughout the entire police compound. One family after another came to her door, specifically asking to eat her cooking. From a humble nanny to the owner of a chain of restaurants...Lin Xiangxiu felt her life was getting brighter and brighter! But why was Mr. Lu, that picky, fastidious man who was so generous with money, looking at her in an increasingly strange way? Please check out my next upcoming novel, The Doomsday Expert Goes on a Hoarding Spree in the 1960s. Ye Qing survived for ten years in the apocalypse before dying. Right before she died, she was so hungry she frantically dug three huge holes in search of an earthworm to eat, but found nothing and literally died of frustration. When she opened her eyes again, she had become a pitiful young bride who had just married into the Xiao family in the 1960s. "Qingqing, it's all my fault as your mother-in-law. I went to three or four families, but all I could borrow was a little sweet potato and millet. I made a pot of thick porridge. Just do your best to drink some. I know you don't like it..." Ye Qing's eyes lit up. Was that the sweet-smelling, steaming hot sweet potato porridge? She snatched it and gulped down five huge bowls. The sweet potato porridge was so fragrant and sweet that she ate until she was dizzy. She didn't even bother with the guy in her mind calling himself the System, let alone its endless demands for her to play the tragic heroine... Who cares about all that! Ye Qing kicked the System so hard it went silent. Her eyes turned to the fertile land on the back mountain. Now that she'd been reborn, she was going to hoard everything she could in this life! She'd stockpile it all for winter! Wild boars and pheasants? I'll take them! Baical skullcap and ginseng? I'll take them! Raspberries, wild grapes, hawthorns, wild rabbits, river fish, and eels, I'll take them all! A wild man? I'll take him too... Wait, why does this strong, dark-skinned, handsome guy in front of me look so much like my husband who died in the line of duty? Theme: Take life seriously
