Su Qingyan, a modern top-tier private chef, unexpectedly transmigrated into the body of a frail, sickly orphan girl in the household of a down-and-out scholar in Bianjing, Northern Song Dynasty.
.
Her family’s home was empty and dilapidated, her father paralyzed, her mother ill, and three younger siblings still crying to be fed.
.
Outside, heavy snow had sealed the city, coal prices had skyrocketed, and the whole family was just one step away from starving to death!
.
Fortunately, she had access to a “Private Kitchen Inheritance Space”—modern culinary skills, the ability to refresh rare ingredients and seasonings, and even lost ancient recipes!
.
While others earned meager wages selling simple flatbreads, she made improved meat sandwiches, seasonal pastries, and medicinal porridge, starting at just five wen, and sold out every day!
.
Scholars from the Imperial Academy queued for her dishes, courtesans in the brothels placed high-paying orders, the Xie and Cui households competed to hire her as their chef, and even government officials came smelling her food!
