The aroma of cooking filled the house: I sent my eldest brother to become the Grand Secretary.

In the square of City A in China, the awards ceremony of this World Chef Competition is being broadcast on a large screen.

"Now, let's announce the champion of this year's chef competition. The champion team of the 2024 World Chef Competition is—the Shen Cao team."

Although Shen Cao was confident, she was still very happy to hear the news.

She and her companions embraced each other, tears streaming down their faces, and together they went up to the awards stage.

"Grandpa, did you see that? Little Grass did it." She held the trophy and looked into the distance.

Shen Cao has loved the kitchen since she was a child, and she would spend every summer vacation playing in the kitchen with her grandfather.

Grandpa was researching new dishes, and Shen Cao was learning from him.

However, her parents were worried that Shen Cao would neglect her studies, so they only allowed her to go into the kitchen during holidays.

Later, Shen Cao followed her parents' plan, went to university, and got a job.

However, she was not happy.

Therefore, at the age of 30, she resolutely quit her job and focused on what she loved—studying cooking systematically with her grandfather.

The path to becoming a chef is not easy. Shen Cao started later than others, so she had to put in more time and effort.

Her family was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle it, but how could she not be able to handle doing what she loves?

Shen Cao persevered and achieved excellent results.

Moreover, Shen Cao became even more determined about her future path.

She began to become interested in the preparation and origin of many different ingredients and seasonings.

Therefore, after winning the championship, Shen Cao began to travel around the world, wanting to fully understand the manufacturing process and origin of ingredients and seasonings from various places.

She went to the place of origin of the ingredients and started learning about the production and manufacturing process, all in order to bring out the best flavor of the ingredients.

For this reason, Shen Cao has a special room at home to store all kinds of seasonings and ingredients that she has collected from various places, and even a lot of seeds.

half year later……

After carrying the materials and ingredients she had collected home, Shen Cao immediately went to the Southern Province.

It's that time of year in the southern province when it's time to eat all kinds of mushrooms.

Shen Cao couldn't wait any longer and wanted to be among the first to taste the delicious mushrooms.

Shen Cao not only loves to cook, but she is also a complete foodie.

There's a saying that goes, "Most foodies are also excellent cooks."

Shen Cao is one of them.

To enhance her experience, she even hired a local guide so she could personally experience the joy of mushroom picking.

It will definitely taste better if you pick it yourself.

That day, Shen Cao and her local guide unknowingly wandered a bit further into the forest in search of more delicious mushrooms.

Along the way, Shen Cao picked a lot of mushrooms by hand.

She was very happy, one flower, two flowers,...

Simply can not stop.

Shen Cao, with her sharp eyes, suddenly spotted a very large and plump porcini mushroom.

However, the location is quite far.

But she felt she could do it.

He carefully held onto the tree next to him, and just as he was about to touch it, his foot slipped and he fell.

What Shen Cao didn't notice was that there was a cliff right in front of her.

Shen Cao slipped and slid into the cliff.

When Shen Cao died, she was probably lamenting that she was probably the first person to fall off a cliff while picking mushrooms.

In a dilapidated thatched hut in a village in the Great Xia Kingdom, on a bed.

Shen Cao woke up. "My porcini mushroom..." Her first thought upon waking was to check if she had managed to pick the porcini mushroom.

……

Wait, wasn't I picking mushrooms in the forest?

Where is this?

The scene that met Shen Cao's eyes could be described as utterly destitute.

The surrounding area consisted of dilapidated thatched walls, and the paper windows were riddled with holes. The room contained only a bed and a simple wooden cabinet, the doors of which were broken. Leaving the bedroom, one entered the main room. Although the main room was just as bare as the bedroom, it was relatively clean. In the center stood a square table and four long benches. Beside it was another table, completely empty.

Has she traveled through time?

At this moment, a memory rushed into her mind: she had really transmigrated, and the original owner of this body had the same name as her, Shen Cao.

Shen Cao's parents had four children. Shen Cao was the second child. She also had an older brother, a younger brother, and a younger sister.

The eldest brother is now 16 years old. She is two years younger than him, the younger sister is two years younger than her, and the younger brother is two years younger than the younger sister.

Although the family was poor, they still managed to send their eldest brother to school.

After all, education is the only path for poor people.

It's springtime now, and wild vegetables are everywhere on the mountain. The original owner went to the mountain to dig for wild vegetables, but the road was slippery after the rain, and he accidentally slipped into a big pit and died.

Shen Cao transmigrated into this world just like that.

Sigh, another unlucky guy.

Shen Cao looked around the house and found it to be completely poor.

In the kitchen, there was only a basket of eggs, half a vat of rice, half a bag of flour, and half a can of lard in the corner.

They left her a corn cob and a small bowl of wild vegetables in the wood-fired pot, but it didn't look appetizing.

"Gurgle... gurgle..." Shen Cao rubbed her rumbling stomach.

So hungry.

Think of the large basket of mushrooms I picked before I died, and then think of a hot mushroom hot pot.

Shen Cao was even hungrier.

Take out the rice that was left for her in the pot.

If only we had her homemade beef sauce, it would be perfect with cornmeal buns.

Who would have thought that the moment she thought of beef sauce, beef sauce appeared in her hand.

???

Is this the legendary cheat code that's essential for transmigrating into a book?

As she spoke, Shen Cao's consciousness entered another space. Here, she saw her storage room from her previous life, which contained all kinds of seasonings and ingredients that she had collected. In particular, there was a large refrigerator in the storage room, where she made all kinds of sauces.

After tidying up the things in the storage room, Shen Cao shifted her consciousness and returned to her current home.

This made Shen Cao extremely happy.

A cook without seasonings is like a soldier without a gun, possessing great skills but having nowhere to use them.

Now that she has this storage room, Shen Cao is confident that she can change the original owner's family situation.

The original owner's parents were not from this village. They fled to this village because of famine. The village chief saw that the family was pitiful and gave them a thatched house at the end of the village. He also took the family to the village head to register, and the family was finally able to settle down in this place.

The current setting is a fictional country called the Great Xia Kingdom. The original owner's home was located in a relatively remote area of ​​the Great Xia Kingdom. The climate here was somewhat similar to the border area of ​​the three provinces of Southern China, Guizhou, and Sichuan in the previous life, and resources were relatively abundant.

To support their family, the original owner's parents used all their money to buy a few acres of low-quality land in the village to grow crops, which barely provided enough for them. The original owner's father also did some carpentry work, taking on odd jobs to earn extra money. This was also the reason why the eldest brother was able to go to school.

Although this large family lived in poverty, everyone cared for each other. Life was tough, but they often found joy in the midst of hardship.

Shen Cao could feel that joy even from her memories.

It seems that my family members are all very good.

From now on, I will make sure they all live a good life.
