After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Those who receive the books and magazines are captivated by them, and the first thing they look at is the cover.

This cover is refreshing; it doesn't depict people or Su Jin, but rather all sorts of strange things.

They couldn't tell what these were, but they were beautifully and charmingly drawn.

You can make out some things from it; it should be pastries, and some dishes painted on the plates.

But what's most eye-catching is the thing drawn in the very center of the cover, which looks like a cauldron, but doesn't quite look like one.

The cauldron is divided into two halves, and there are pictures of what look like vegetables inside.

I looked at it for a long time but still didn't understand it.

I wondered if this meant there would be a recipe book in the publication this time?

These people couldn't wait to pick up books and magazines as soon as they got home, intending to first finish reading the serialized story written by Mr. Wuming and then the short stories he wrote at the beginning.

This story is called "The Little Chef of the Jin Dynasty," and it tells the story of a little chef.

Trusting Mr. Wuming, they began to read on.

This new story was initially written in a restaurant.

The female protagonist's name is Luo Nanzhi. She grew up in Yanzhou and has amazing strength. Even at a young age, she can lift a large rock that is the same weight as her.

Her father was a famous chef in Yanzhou, working as the head chef in the city's top restaurant. Her mother died when she was very young, so her father raised her as both a father and a mother.

She grew up surrounded by cooking and developed a love for it, but her father never liked her cooking.

Her father always hoped that she would grow up to be a virtuous lady, learn needlework and other women's skills, and be able to manage household affairs after she got married.

However, Luo Nanzhi was unwilling, so she always outwardly complied but inwardly defied, secretly learning to cook behind the scenes. Her lifelong wish was to become a chef like her father, and she even secretly dreamed of becoming the first female imperial chef of the dynasty.

But such good days didn't last long. As she grew older day by day, her father, Luo, was very worried and wanted her to get married. However, the matchmaker came several times, but Luo Nanzhi was unwilling to go to meet potential partners. She spent all her time in her kitchen researching new dishes.

Luo Nanzhi declared that she did not want to leave her father, so she wanted to find a man to marry into their family.

The man can be poor, but he must be good-looking, but after searching around, I couldn't find a suitable one.

One day, while fishing in a stream outside the city, she unexpectedly caught a man in the river.

Unexpectedly, when she parted the man's face, she found that he was "as beautiful as a flower." Driven by selfishness, she rescued the man and took him home.

She even found a doctor to treat her. When Luo's father saw that she was carrying a man back, he was almost startled.

When the man woke up, Luo Nanzhi discovered that he had amnesia and couldn't even remember his own name. She had no choice but to report it to the authorities, hoping they could find his family.

He had lost his memory and could only stay at her house temporarily. However, the man seemed to be in poor health, so Luo Nanzhi, who had originally wanted him to do some work, had to give up that opportunity.

The man seemed to know he couldn't do much, so he took the initiative to do all the housework.

Gradually, as they spent more time together, Luo Nanzhi and Xianyu secretly pledged their lives to each other.

Xianyu is the name Luo Nanzhi gave to her man.

Since his situation was reported to the authorities, they have been unable to locate his family.

Luo Nanzhi couldn't keep calling people "Hey," so she gave him a name.

At first, I thought I would catch him while fishing, so I wanted to call him Little Fish, but Dad thought the name was too perfunctory.

He was a rough and uncultured man who wasn't good at naming things, so he went to a fortune teller outside and spent a few copper coins to name him Xianyu (羡鱼).

Soon after, Xianyu married Luo Nanzhi and moved into the Luo family.

……

At this time, some people reading the story felt that this person's identity was not simple.

"Could this man be an assassin? Otherwise, why would the authorities have searched for so long without finding his family? Or perhaps he's not from Yanzhou."

"Is this going to be another romance novel?"

These people kept watching while thinking about it.

……

After getting married, Luo Nanzhi also entered her father's restaurant with her cooking skills.

Not long after, I heard that a wealthy man was celebrating his birthday and had invited the restaurant's chefs to his residence to cook.

I heard that the master has invited some important people this time, so the dishes must be delicious and include things I've never seen before.

Another problem is that the weather will be cold, and the dishes I just made will get cold. I will have to keep them warm, but they will lose their original flavor.

This stumped everyone; the new recipes they made failed to satisfy the wealthy man.

At that moment, Luo Nanzhi had a flash of inspiration and suddenly remembered that there was another way to eat the dishes she had made at home a few days ago that was perfect for a banquet.

Instead of offering a rash suggestion, she discussed it with her father.

However, Luo's father remained skeptical.

"Is this going to work? It's fine to try something new at home occasionally, but how can it be considered presentable?"

"Father, didn't you eat it? I just wanted to ask you how it tasted. Besides, this is the perfect food for winter. It warms the body and stomach and keeps the food warm, so you don't have to worry about it getting cold halfway through the meal."

When we first figured it out at home, Luo's dad ate the most!

Luo's father couldn't stop drooling at the thought of that taste. He swallowed and made up his mind to give it a try!

……

Those reading the storybook outside were suddenly intrigued by Luo Nanzhi's words.

"What kind of dish is so magical? It can stay warm in the cold winter and even make a master chef like Father Luo think it tastes delicious?"

They soon found out, because the storybook had just happened to start at the birthday celebration.

Yanzhou is neither in the south nor the north. There is no snow in winter, but the weather is cold and the wind is painful.

Even though there's an underfloor heating system inside, the door still has to be left open, so it's still cold.

The wealthy man's birthday celebration was held at several tables, all in the attic.

The important person the wealthy man had mentioned had arrived. After exchanging pleasantries, everyone sat down and looked at the steaming food on the table.

Someone asked the wealthy man, "What is this?"

"This is called Wen Ding, or Antique Soup."

"This is so rare, we must try it!"

Amidst a dazzling display of toasts and clinking glasses, everyone began to savor the exotic delicacies.

……

In reality, people who read this description can't help but swallow hard, and some even start to feel their stomachs growling.

"This description is just too good! Heaven knows I stayed up all night reading this novel, and shamefully, I'm actually hungry now. I can't even imagine how delicious the food described in this novel must be!"

It wasn't just one person experiencing this; many people who stayed up late reading novels also had their stomachs rumbling.

"It actually made me hungry! Why did I have to read this storybook so late at night? Mr. Wuming's intentions are too wicked, waaaaah~"

At the book appreciation banquet the following day, the young ladies were also discussing it.

"I've eaten this Wen Ding a few times, is it really that good?"

“I carefully read the storybook. The method of cooking in this storybook is different from our usual method of boiling water directly. The storybook says that this is ‘Warm Ding Base’. I just don’t know what the chili peppers in this spicy pot are, that can make people unable to stop eating and become obsessed.”

"Ha! It's just a storybook. The food descriptions are all made up. You actually believe it? Just enjoy it for fun, don't take it seriously."
