Su Tang woke up with a massive headache.

"Sister, sister! I'll go get the doctor right away." Su Tang subconsciously grabbed onto the child's broad sleeves when she heard his soft voice.

Broad sleeves?

Su Tang looked at the small kid that barely reached her waist in front of her and slowly opened her mouth to say: "I'm fine, just let me rest for a while."

"Sister, a few of our tables have been taken away by auntie again. What are we going to do in the future?" As the child cried, these words evoked 'new' memories in Su Tang's mind.

Many memories that don't belong to her appeared in her mind.

She should have just started her freshman year, but instead, she was suddenly transported to this place called Cang Qin country.

There was no such country in history.

The original owner of the body was also known as Su Tang. She was the daughter of a small restaurant owner that was located in the western part of the capital city of Cang Qin.

Su Tang's mother passed away when giving birth to her little brother. Their father had been running this small restaurant to provide for the siblings.

Although the business of this small restaurant was average, the two were loved by their father and have not suffered much since childhood.

They lived decently even though their family was poor.

A month ago, Su Tang's father fell into a critical condition. Even selling some of their family's properties couldn't save his life.

From that moment onwards, 16-year-old Su Tang and the 7-year-old Su Jin Hang only had each other to depend on.

As if the passing of their father was not enough, Su Tang's aunt and uncle had deceived these two young siblings and secretly took the rest of their property to pawn.

This time it was the vicious aunt who came to "borrow" things again, but Su Tang happened to catch her in the act.

The original Su Tang stepped forward to snatch back the tables and chairs, but she was pushed to the ground by her aunt and had hit her head on the corner of a table as she was falling.

When she woke up the soul in her body had changed.

While Su Tang was sorting out her thoughts, she could remember the final moments of the 'real owner' of her current body. This caused tears to start streaming down from her eyes as she hugged her little brother to say: "It's okay, sister is here. It's okay."

The small broken-down restaurant looked even more miserable with wind blowing and creating crackling sounds against the wood.

Su Tang slightly sighed. She decided that she might as well make life comfortable since she has arrived in this unknown country.

Anyway, she had this little restaurant, didn't she?

In addition, this Cang Qin country was a peaceful dynasty with very good stability. She had heard that it was only due to the ruling Marquis that his cousin was able to ascend to the throne. This was what made Cang Qin's country so prosperous and thus the citizens also had a good lifestyle.

The environment of Cang Qin country was very suitable for ordinary life.

Su Tang has always been a foodie for all of her life. She even had a small blog about the culinary arts that gained more than 100,000 followers.

The original might not have had a good cooking skills or the ability to run this small restaurant, but the same couldn't be said about her.

Su Tang patted her brother and said: "Let's go and clean up the kitchen. I will make you a delicious meal."

Although she said she would make something delicious, there weren't many things left in the kitchen.

Su Jin Hang fished out some eggs from the corner like a treasure and said: "Sister when I saw aunt coming I immediately hid our eggs. She really couldn't find them."

Su Tang felt a little amused. Her stingy brother turned out to be very clever. If he didn't hide the eggs well that snake-hearted woman would have taken them too.

In the future, she would never let anything like this happen again. It was a pity that the original body was bullied by such a person and then lost her life.

This hatred must be repaid. Otherwise, she couldn't be at peace.

The kitchen was not big, but it was clean. Su Tang soon found the flour and then looked at the eggs. She thought, "Let's make some egg noodle soup since it's very simple."

The original owner of this body also learned how to cook with her father, but she was not very good at it.

However, the current Su tang was able to knead the noodles very smoothly and neatly. It was as if she had done it a thousand times before.

Because Su Tang used to make videos for cooking, all of her movements seemed very elegant. This caused Su Jinsheng to fall into a daze while watching her.

He thought that his sister seemed somewhat different.

Su Tang scooped water from a barrel to prepare boiling water for the noodles to cook right away.

The clear water reflected a girl with a beautiful face, pink lips, and slightly raised eyes. It was like a fairy coming out of a picture, but the bruises on her forehead made her beauty fade a little bit.

Su Tang couldn't help but touch her cheeks. However, what she felt was not happiness but fear.

She was just an orphan living with her little brother, but she had such stunning beauty.

This was not a good thing, in fact, this could become a disaster for her poor family.

Su Tang clears her mind and starts looking at the bruises on her forehead. This makes her feel a little relieved.

No matter how perfect a jade was, if it has flaws then it won't be as valuable.

These wounds may actually be helpful.

Su Tang finished drawing the water and went back to cooking. She kept the thoughts of dealing with her face and creating a comfortable life in the back of her mind for now.

Fry the eggs until golden on both sides and put them aside.

After stir-frying the onions, add ginger and garlic with a little oil then continue to stir-fry until all the fragrances come out.

One can't imagine how delicious it will be when this is mixed with noodles.

It was a very simple recipe but because the smells were so fragrant, her little brother couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "It smells good."

Su Tang smiled and brought over the two bowls of noodles with a fried egg on top.

"Eat and when we're done, let's clean up the restaurant." Su Tang rubbed Su Jinsheng's head. She knew that he had been hungry for a long time from how much he had been swallowing his saliva next to her when she was cooking.

Su Jin Hang couldn't wait to take a big bite of noodles. He had never been this impatient to eat food before.

His mouth was burned slightly from the hot noodles but he still said, "So delicious."

Without waiting for Su Tang to respond, Su Jin Hang continues to eat even faster while sweating from his head. He quickly finishes his bowl of noodles, but he does not seem satisfied yet.

Su Tang was amused by watching her little brother. He usually talks like an adult, but he is acting like a little kid right now.

"Eat slowly, I can't finish all of mine, so you can have some of mine if you still want more."

Su Tang hadn't moved her noodles yet, but Su Jinsheng had already finished eating.

Su Jin Hang heard what his sister said and unconsciously swallowed his saliva: "No, sister you eat. I will just watch."

Su Tang slowly started eating her noodles to make sure her little brother had finished eating. She has always done things without rushing and was very organized, but the look of her little brother next to her made her feel a little amused.

In fact, she would have given Su Jin Hang another bowl of noodles if she wasn't afraid that he had eaten too much.

"Sister, I have never eaten such delicious noodles! This is much better than what our father made." Su Jin Hang couldn't help but add, "Sister, you could go to participate in the Capital City God of Cooking competition!"

The Capital City God of Cooking Competition?

Seeing his sister's puzzled look Su Jin Hang opened his mouth: "I heard from the teacher in school, the Capital God of Cooking Competition will end registration today. If you manage to win first place the reward will be one thousand taels of silver!"

One thousand taels?

Su Tang's eyes brightened. If she could get this thousand taels of silver then she and her brother's lives will be guaranteed in the future.

She carefully observed this small restaurant and saw that a lot of things needed to be replaced. The sunlight from outside could be seen through the southern corner of the roof.

Such a house will surely play a symphony of ticking sounds on rainy days.

The business of their small restaurant was currently not good. If they could participate in this competition then they might be able to improve the reputation of their restaurant.

With this in mind, Su Tang said to Su Jin Hang: "We can discuss the rewards later. Can we still sign up now?"

Immediately Su Jin Hang said, "Yes, the registration place is at the Westside Market, and it will just take half an incense of time to get there!" but then he hesitated, "But most of the applicants were men, only a few women have signed up."

Su Tang: "Did they say that only men were allowed to sign up?"

"Of course not."

Su Tang was prepared to go out: "Let's go, as long as we have the ability we don't have to pay attention to what other people say."

Su Tang looked at the house next door. This was the shop of their vicious aunt.

Their family had a small business too. The siblings' father used to help out at their aunt's shop, but when their father passed away their aunt started to treat them as outsiders.

The Capital, Westside Market.

The two officers at the Capital God of Cooking Competition registration were boredly chatting.

"This is the last day. The people who wanted to sign up have already signed up."

"Sure, why do you think the government asked the law department of enforcement officials in the capital to hold a Cooking competition?"

"Keep your voice down. Don't you know? That person doesn't eat much and he's very picky about what he eats. This is for the benefit of the government."

"When you say that one, are you talking about Marquis Weiyuan?"

They were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't even notice that two people arrived in front of their stall.

Su Tang smiles and softly says, "Hello, may I ask if this is the place to register for the God of Cooking Competition?" Her voice was gentle and melodious, making the men subconsciously look over after they heard her gentle and melodious voice.

But after seeing the scar on her forehead they lost interest immediately.

It was a pity that such a nice voice had such a face.

One of the officers said: "It's here to sign up. Are you going to sign up for your brother? He needs to come in person to sign up."

The officer's tone was polite. They were officers from the capital, so naturally, they shouldn't be too arrogant, otherwise who knows which rich family that they might offend.

"I'm here. It's me who's going to sign up. Are there any requirements for registration?"

The two officers looked at each other: "There are no requirements, but there are not many women here who come to sign up."

"It's okay, some of the women from the Wang family in the eastern part of the city are also participating in this competition. There are no restrictions on men or women." The other officer explained.

Su Tang quickly completed the necessary procedures and the officer said: "Tomorrow morning, take your ingredients to the Daji for the preliminary test. Only the ones who pass will actually enter the official competition."

Daji was a bazaar at the intersection of the eastern and western parts of the capital. It also has the largest foot traffic flow. It seems that those who signed up will have to go there to cook tomorrow.

Su Tang understood that tomorrow will be a fierce competition.

First, they will filter out the group of people who sign up casually just to try their luck. Then, those who just know a little bit about cooking, but mostly just come to join in on the fun. Finally, the remaining contestants actually come to compete with their cooking skills.

This was going to be interesting.

Su Tang nodded smiling and asked, " My lord may I ask you, how many people are signing up here and how many people will be selected tomorrow?"

Seeing that the little girl was asking so politely, the office said: "The number of applicants counted from yesterday was about three hundred."

Today is the last day of registration. The exact number of contestants is currently unknown, and there are seven or eight stalls like ours in the Capital."

"However, we do have an accurate number for how many people will be selected. The Mayor has stated that only 150 spots will be reserved for the official competition."

Of the three to four hundred people, only one hundred and fifty will qualify for the actual competition.

They will eliminate half of the participants by the time the real God of Cooking Competition has truly begun. It was just so cruel.

Su Tang smiled and thanked them.

On the way home, Su Jin Hang couldn't help but say, "Sister, this competition seems very difficult."

Su Tang already had a plan in mind and said, "Don't be afraid. This is only the beginning, and it should be easy for me." She has already figured out what ingredients she will need to bring for the competition.
