Latest Gourmet Novel

In Mong Kok, there was a restaurant that had been open for over thirty years, filled with guests and praised by diners.

However, prosperity also hid a crisis: the owner was old with no successor, and his apprentice started his own place, stealing customers with low prices.

Diners secretly lamented, fearing the restaurant wouldn't last much longer.

One day, the owner brought his granddaughter from the mainland and decided to hand the restaurant over to her.

That granddaughter was rumored to be a shepherdess who grew up in the Gobi Desert of the Northwest.

Diners secretly sighed, fearing the restaurant wouldn't last more than a few days.

Yue Ning, a Cantonese chef famous for cooking seafood, who was so picky about ingredients and even diners yet still sought after by gourmands, was reborn into the food-scarce 1960s and grew up in the vast Northwest, far from the sea.

She had never even seen grouper, abalone, sea cucumber, or bird's nest. Cattle and sheep belonged to the state; she could feed them but not eat them.

As reform and opening-up approached, Yue Ning thought about moving to the city to open a small restaurant. She swore she would no longer be picky about ingredients or diners.

One day, an old gentleman claiming to be her grandfather found her and told her he had a Cantonese restaurant in Hong Kong...

Only two people live in seclusion in the forest (key point!). The entire text is trivial, warm, and daily-oriented, involving growing vegetables, farming, and raising chickens and geese. There are no golden fingers; they rely purely on their own efforts to be self-sufficient.

Disclaimer: Has a couple, the protagonists' emotions are initially naive and slow to develop; they are growth-type characters, not cookie-cutter flat characters.

There are no outsiders, no dark human nature; the main focus is on delicious food. The ending will explain the larger environment (the part about showing off in the city).

An earthquake severed the only highway. Looking on the bright side, didn't that mean she now owned a mountain?

As the saying goes, "Clear waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets~"

Zhao Yeqing, who had just resigned, returned to her old home in the forest. Facing the sudden natural disaster, of course, she chose to pick up a hoe and get to work~

While others gained "golden fingers" to hoard supplies during the disaster, Zhao Yeqing dug the ground and grew food instead.

Looking at the childhood sweetheart who suddenly appeared after many years, she thought, "Aren't you being too boundary-less?"

Because of urban industrialization, humans were infected with a rampant virus. After the diseased corpses were incinerated, natural disasters descended.

The seemingly peaceful and harmonious life seemed to be shattered in an instant. Just when people thought they had cleared the infected and were about to resume their peaceful lives, they were met with earthquakes, high temperatures, extreme cold...

After diligently working as farmers in the mountains for several years, the two returned to the city. They casually pulled out farm products they had grown tired of, only to have them instantly snatched up.

"Huh? What's going on? How did we suddenly get rich?"

[No CP + Cultivation + Farming + Gourmet + Daily Life]

If you talk about life's extraordinary encounters, Ye Zhen dares to claim the first!

She was scared when she transmigrated to the cultivation world, but the experience was magical.

Originally, she just wanted to quietly be a nobody in the cultivation world, grow some plants to earn extra money, and silently ascend. She never expected to die and transmigrate back to her hometown to farm!

Unfortunately, after hundreds of years of hard work, changing worlds brought her back to square one.

Ye Zhen, back home: Oh great, I even have to do an internship and write a thesis when I get home!

Ye Zhen, crying tears of graduation: Let me die!

What?! After graduation, I still have to interview for a job? Working is impossible.

I'll just go home and farm!

Relying on her hundreds of years of farming experience from the cultivation world, she farms, grows flowers, and enjoys delicious food.

She goes up the mountain to gather wild vegetables, collect mountain delicacies, dig wild bamboo shoots, cultivate flowers, and plant grass...

I love farming, farming makes me happy!

After finding out the truth, he convinced himself to treat her as a sister, yet he dreamed of her every night.

After clearing his name and returning, Yu Zhile linked arms with another man, smilingly calling him "uncle," which made his face darken.

"I Became a Super Detective with an Underworld Informant":

Zhong Yongtang liked to stay under the big banyan tree, where many "people" played with her and told her stories.

But the children at the orphanage called her a freak and ostracized her.

At the age of ten, she was taken to the chaotic Kowloon Walled City by a beautiful woman.

After that, she gained three ghost family members—a former powerful family head grandfather, a Cantonese opera star grandmother, and a book-loving triad member brother, as well as friends from all walks of life in their previous lives.

An accident caused her grandmother to lose half of her merits, weakening her soul.

To accumulate merits, she quickly completed the Wong Chuk Hang probationary inspector training in three months and used aggressive methods to assist in solving cases during her probation, leading to her being exceptionally admitted to the East Kowloon Major Crimes B Team.

The patriarchal A Team leader bluntly said that she, relying on unorthodox methods, wouldn't last half a year and would eventually be transferred to guard a reservoir.

Zhong Yongtang said nothing, because her brain and the invincible informant system behind her would prove everything.

A headless male corpse was found hanging in the wilderness. Before the victim's identity could be determined, a second and third body appeared, causing public panic.

There was no identification at the scene, and no match with missing persons' information. The police were at a loss, and the case stalled.

Zhong Yongtang, observing the autopsy, repeated the words of her late model friend: "Such well-proportioned muscles, either a model or someone who works out frequently."

Ultimately, this sentence became the breakthrough point for the entire case.

A famous actress disappeared from the stage, only to appear in a red dress at a deserted TV studio in the middle of the night, falling from a building. Tabloid magazines sensationalized the ghostly atmosphere, causing widespread panic.

Zhong Yongtang's underworld informants provided clues.

Ghost A, a Cantonese opera enthusiast: "I saw her leave from backstage."

Ghost B, a paranormal enthusiast who likes to wander in deserted buildings at night: "I saw someone strangle her with a rope. It was your grandmother who is so weak she needs to inhale sandalwood every day."

Ghost C, a frontline paparazzi from a defunct newspaper: "I photographed her scandal back then!"

Word by word, they pieced together the truth of the case, leading to an unsolved case from twenty years ago.

The ghost matchmaker calling out a famous family's daughter case, the haunted elementary school with baby cries at midnight case, the locked-room ghost murder case...

Zhong Yongtang and her team solved one strange case after another with the help of the powerful informant system, even making the headlines of the hottest weekly magazine—Newbie inspector's fiery breakthrough against ghostly schemes, transforming into a demon-catching super detective.

Meanwhile, the A Team leader's face turned green with anger, and he became a suspect in a murder case.

Ps: Not much romance, the male lead is Lu Shiyao.

After transmigrating back again, Chen Kangle gained excellent cooking skills. To pay off her debts, Chen Kangle picked up a spatula and started selling boxed lunches at a construction site.

At first, Chen Kangle, who sold boxed lunches on an electric scooter, was mercilessly despised by the workers.

"This boxed lunch seller is too shabby, they don't even have a table."

"Such a simple stall, you can tell at a glance the food won't be good, probably not even as good as our construction site's cafeteria."

Later—

"Boss Chen, I want five boxed lunches tomorrow. My whole family loves your boxed lunches. The braised eggplant and scrambled eggs with chives are super delicious."

"Boss Chen, ever since I started eating your boxed lunches, I haven't been to the construction site's cafeteria."

Just like that, Chen Kangle's boxed lunches became a hit.

From not being able to sell ten portions a day, she developed to selling over two hundred boxed lunches a day.

After saving enough money, Chen Kangle opened a boxed lunch restaurant. The restaurant became more and more popular, with more and more branches opening, and Chen Kangle's boxed lunches became the most popular in the country.

At first, everyone thought there was no future in Cheng Ruoxing selling snacks.

"How much money can you make selling snacks? It's better to get a job."

Spirit herbs, fresh meat, crops... The inn's produce is not only clean and delicious but also efficiently and continuously supplied;

Food, medicine, forged items... The inn's products are not only high-quality and affordable but also come with rare attribute bonuses;

Chess, board games, puzzles... The inn's entertainment is not only fun and exciting but also attracts legendary NPCs;

The Green Mountain Sect was massacred. The youngest junior sister, Jiang Runian, transmigrated into the apocalypse and bound an inn management system.

Along with her, an entire sect of slackers also transmigrated.

Having died with regrets in her past life, she must not repeat the same mistakes in this one.

Jiang Runian decisively decided:

Master is skilled with the sword, so he'll be the head chef, making top-tier attribute-enhancing dishes;

The eldest senior sister is extremely fast, so she'll handle super-efficient serving and delivery. Becoming rich overnight is not a dream...

Rise! Green Mountain Sect, who refuse to be beaten down again!

【Opening Guide】

Primarily inn management, a mix of survival + infrastructure building + farming + gourmet! The story is slow-paced, apologies to little angels looking for a fast-paced, cool story!

There is a male lead, a loyal and obedient 'golden retriever' type. The romance subplot is minimal.

A light, simple novel. The Green Mountain Sect = the golden finger. It's a purely fictional setting, please don't overanalyze (begs).
