The Dainty Lady Opens an Eatery, and Nobles Are Dying for a Taste
Upon waking, Su Wan, a modern-day food blogger, finds herself the youngest daughter of Su Wencheng, an impoverished County Magistrate in the Dayong Dynasty. Unfortunately, misfortune strikes. Mr. Su is framed, stripped of his official post, and the family of five is forced to take shelter in a dilapidated old house in a small Jiangnan town. Faced with utter poverty, the pressure of her brother's tuition for the imperial examinations, and the predicament of her sister's unsold embroidery, Su Wan looks at the unfamiliar firewood stove before her, yet senses a familiar opportunity. Hot and cold dishes, perfectly balanced with meat and vegetables, send the aroma of home-cooked meals wafting through the street. Filling and heart-warming, they cause the queue in front of the Su Family's small stall to stretch into a long line. From a roadside stall to a riverside eatery, from an obscure little shop to the renowned Su Family Eatery famous throughout Jiangnan. Even in an unfamiliar dynasty, Su Wan persists in pursuing her passion.
