A Mercenary Starting with Cutting Radishes

Fang Yuan, a cold-dish chef, has two wishes.

First: to stop working with flour every day and switch careers for good, becoming a chef specializing in hot dishes.

Second: to return to his hometown and open a restaurant of his own.

Later, he quits in a fit of pique and goes abroad to clear his head. Somehow, he winds up as a cook for an overseas security company, where mercenaries who've had their fill of meat and fish keep clamoring for silver-thread rolls, flaky baked flatbread, and crystal cakes.

At first, Fang Yuan just wants to earn some extra money, save up, and return home to make his dream come true. But when the unexpected happens and he's forced to wield a rolling pin in his left hand and an M4A1 in his right, with responsibility on his shoulders...

This is a passionate story about a chef among mercenaries, celebrating brotherhood.

This book is gripping, its emotions sincere and moving, its characters vivid and full-blooded, and its ideals upright and pure.

The author uses plain, unadorned prose to tell one twisty, bizarre, fun, and thrilling story after another.

This is unquestionably a rare gem of a book...

I really can't keep praising it, so I'll just clasp my hands and prostrate myself before all you wonderful readers. Give a newcomer a chance: take two minutes and click to have a look.
