Reborn to Feast on the World

“When you eat chicken, eat one that crows; when you eat fish, eat one that leaps.”

In his previous life, Zhao Haisheng was hailed as “the world’s most discerning eater.” Now he has returned to an early-1980s fishing village in Guangdong.

If you could live your life over, what would you do?

Zhao Haisheng doesn’t seek fame, beautiful women at his side, or a house full of riches. All he wants is peace in the world and the chance to savor life’s finest dishes.

This ordinary man has an extraordinary ambition: to build his own culinary empire, protect the world’s delicacies, and eat his way across the land.

Want to catch fish, shrimp, and crabs from the open sea? Not so fast. The fleet Zhao Haisheng has assembled holds a monopoly on the fishing industry. How much it catches, and what it catches, is up to him.

Want greenhouse-grown, soilless, inorganic fruits and vegetables?

“Then get lost! Our production team grows everything outdoors, in soil, and organically!” Zhao Haisheng shouts at these people who don’t know how to eat.

“All the world’s delicacies are within my grasp! I am the unrivaled king of cuisine!”

That’s how Zhao Haisheng sums up his life decades later.
