The previous version of God of Cooking was more male-oriented.
The book Li Yu wanted to write was more female-oriented. Palace fighting or house fighting are the most popular themes for females, but this is ancient times, and it is inevitable that some people would think too much when she, a peasant woman, wrote about these things.
After thinking for a few days, Li Yu finally decided what he wanted to write.
It is still a female-oriented story, but she did not write about love or romance. She still continued the concept of no CP from the previous part.
This time the protagonist is a woman.
That’s right, she was a 24-year-old woman who divorced her husband.
The heroine is the daughter of a well-off family. Her father and brother run two shops of medium size.
When she reached marriageable age, her parents carefully selected a young and promising scholar in the town for her, and after marriage, the two of them treated each other with respect.
The scholar's family was not well off, but the heroine's family did not despise him and supported him to study for the imperial examinations. The scholar lived up to everyone's expectations and later became a sensational top scholar.
Because the scholar was knowledgeable and good-looking, he was noticed by a noble lady from a wealthy family.
This man wanted to demote his wife to a concubine and marry a noblewoman, and his reason was very strange: her status as a girl from a poor family was no longer worthy of his status as the top scholar.
The heroine begged desperately while holding her child, but to no avail. Even her family members advised her to accept her fate, as they could not afford to offend the top scholar and the noble lady.
The heroine does not blame her own family, she also understands that they cannot defeat each other.
In the end, in order not to implicate her parents' family, she personally took her child to the yamen to sever the ties with her parents' family.
Finally, she asked the man to divorce her and let the child stay with her. Of course, the man disagreed. If he divorced, others would call him ungrateful, and his reputation could not be damaged.
In the end, the heroine threatened him that if he didn't divorce her, she would go to the government office to file a complaint, and finally the man compromised.
After the heroine successfully divorced, she did not choose to return to her parents' home. Instead, she started by setting up a stall and eventually became the largest businessman in the entire Celestial Empire.
There are emotional entanglements, the cruelty of business wars, the customs and practices of the heroine as she travels around the country, and the heroine's generosity in making friends.
In short, this is a story of the struggle of a small person.
Li Yu's original intention in writing this storybook was to bring a little comfort to the women here.
She doesn't seek to change someone's mind, but only hopes to give a girl the courage to start over occasionally.
Maybe it was just her fantasy, but she wanted to give it a try.
Now their family's financial situation is gradually improving, and they don't have to do many things themselves.
She just wanted to continue her storytelling career; she didn't want storytelling to be just a reading material to kill time when she was bored.
She also understood that once this storybook was published, many people would curse it, especially the men of that era, who would never allow women to challenge their authority.
Li Yu is not afraid. She doesn't need many people to like her. It's enough as long as she can help a few individuals.
This is her little selfish desire.
There is no end to making money, and she believes that once their business gradually becomes formal, they will make a lot of money.
She has no need to use her favorite storytelling career to write about things that men of this era like. She just wants to convey her own thoughts.
She suddenly found her goal in this strange world, which was not to raise children and grandchildren, nor to make a lot of money.
Instead, pick up your favorite pen, write your favorite story, and convey the ideas you want to convey.
After figuring all this out, Li Yu was full of energy and sat in his study all day without coming out.
She was preparing the outline of her own storybook and did not go out even when Lin Hai called her to eat.
Just say you are busy.
Lin Yu spent a day writing the outline and detailed outline.
She started writing the next day. She has never been a procrastinator, so it became much easier once she decided how to write.
Moreover, her writing experience in her previous life and the success of her previous book, The MasterChef, made her writing smoother.
When the family knew that Li Yu was writing a storybook, they tacitly agreed not to disturb her.
After writing in the morning, taking a break at noon, and writing in the afternoon for ten days, Li Yu decided to take a day off.
Go to the store to help out early in the morning.
"Mom, aren't you going to write today?"
Lin Hai came over to ask.
"I'm not going to write anymore. I'm going to take a day off. How's business been lately?"
"It's pretty good. When Ajiang is not around and I'm too busy, Meimei will come and help," she said.
"That won't work. Meimei wants to make sweaters, and Jiang won't be able to help out in the store every day.
We also need to find another apprentice and let Yang Liu take care of her. She can't stay in the kitchen all the time. Women who are often exposed to cooking fumes will age quickly."
Li Yu expressed his concerns.
"Ah?" It was the first time that Lin Hai heard that women would age faster if exposed to cooking fumes.
I didn't know how to reply to his mother for a moment.
Now that the topic has been brought up, Li Yu wants to implement it quickly.
But after finding someone, accommodation became a problem again because there was no room left at home.
So she discussed it with Lin Hai.
