Selling Ready-Made Meals in Ancient Times, the Whole Capital Goes Wild for Them

After her parents die unexpectedly, Xu Fuyi inherits their old restaurant, which is on the verge of closing. Unemployed and down on her luck, she plans to scrape by with ready-made meals, but accidentally unlocks a “connects past and present” buff: her restaurant can reach the ancient capital!

A bowl of bamboo-pole noodles and two roujiamo save a destitute grandfather and grandson. In return, a single copper coin turns into 35,000 yuan. Braised pork with preserved vegetables and iced milk leave a swordsman slapping the table in amazement, while the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review recognizes her as his benefactor on the spot.

Modern ready-made meals blow ancient restaurants out of the water. Iced drinks and quick, hearty dishes send the whole capital into a frenzy. Nobles and royals crowd her doors, and ancient coins turn into a modern fortune. She makes enough to become financially free without lifting a finger!

When greedy relatives try to seize control, she stands her ground with a Court of Judicial Review token. When a martial artist tries to dine and dash, the System’s defenses take him down with one tap.

Xu Fuyi: “I’m just selling ready-made meals. How did I become the capital’s top-tier star?” The whole capital: “Please open another shop, shopkeeper! We’re fighting over every last ready-made meal!”

A little note: This story is all about the clash of cuisines past and present, and the satisfying triumph of making money and turning your life around. No angst, helpful benefactors, huge windfalls, and an easy ride to success!
