My God of Cooking Ancestor Sells Street Food with Me

share time: 2025-10-15 06:02:03

Unemployed Lin Xiaoman is eating instant noodles in her rental when she accidentally awakens her eighth-generation ancestor Shen Congzhi—a Qing Dynasty imperial chef once praised by Emperor Qianlong as "the soul of cuisine." Appalled by Xiaoman’s despair, Shen drags her to sell street food. But his "imperial rules" drive Xiaoman crazy: porridge must use well water from 3 AM, skewers marinated for 12 hours—only three sales on day one. Xiaoman begs to switch to instant seasonings, but Shen slams the table: "We can’t cheat the diners who trust us!" That night, Shen uses the last piece of pork to make "Imperial Braised Offal"—tender meat, broth simmered for six hours. An overtime programmer tries it, posts a video, and the next day, the stall is swarmed with people, even Michelin chefs come to learn. When a "local enforcer" Wang comes for protection money, Shen hands him a bowl: "Try this—I made it for Qianlong." Wang cries as he eats—he’s been raising money for his sick mom. Xiaoman and Shen not only waive the fee but teach him to cook, turning the stall into a "healing shop." Shen smiles at Xiaoman: "Selling street food isn’t shameful—cooking with conscience is what makes a god of cooking."
