Siheyuan Courtyard: Max-Level Chef Starts by Splitting Families

Era Story · Courtyard House · Portable Space · Divine Cooking · Blind Date Hijacking · Calm Everyday Life

In 1954, material goods are scarce, but for the transmigrator Li Jianye, life is extremely comfortable. Born into a family of imperial chefs, he possesses a "food ingredient space" and divine cooking skills, and at only twenty years old he has already become the head chef at Fengze Garden, with a monthly salary of 92.5 yuan!

On this day, because dozens of people from the large family are crammed together and simply cannot fit anymore, his old-fashioned grandfather finally agrees to split the household. Li Jianye receives a large cash compensation, and turns around to buy the spacious main house of Courtyard House No. 95 in full at the street office, becoming neighbors with Yi Zhonghai, Shao Zhu, and Jia Dongxu.

Faced with the schemes of those beasts, Li Jianye cannot be bothered to pay them any mind. His only goal is to take advantage of his prime years and find a pretty wife, so he can live warm with his wife and children by the heated brick bed!

So, with a pile of cash and top-quality ingredients in hand, Li Jianye takes big bundles of hard currency to knock on the go-between Madam Wang's door. From Yu Li to Chen Xueru, from Qin Jingru to Ding Qiuping... Li Jianye uses table after table of state-banquet-level cuisine and the three essential household items to begin a blind-date hijacking path that makes all the single men in the entire Four-Nine City green with envy!
