This Empress Is Bored

Qin Xiaoguo was a successful chef working in the future era. A turn of fate brought her to the past, into a time of famine and uncertainty. Waking up one day, Qin Xiaoguo found herself face to face with a boy who acknowledged her as his mother.
Having transmigrated from the year 3024 to 42 BC, Qin Xiaoguo had traveled across a three-millennium time leap to the past. She was transported to a destitute place, and also became mother to a hungry, skinny boy at the same time. 
Her only comfort to her new-found circumstances was a spatial ring that allowed her to transmigrate—giving her free access to food and other belongings from a different era.
After years of raising her son singlehandedly, Qin Xiaoguo had a surprise visitor at her door. It was a man claiming to be her husband, requesting to stay the night. Out of confusion and pity, Qin Xiaoguo let the self-proclaimed father of her child into the house.

Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother

After Mrs. Yang left, Xiaoguo closed the door and returned to the kitchen to work on the mutton skewers.

Zhuang Zhuang thought that it was odd when he saw Mrs. Yang take the donkey.

Xiaoguo explained, "Aunt is driving to the county. She is helping me to buy some things."

"Buy the herbs for making sour plum soup. When we eat mutton tomorrow, we can drink this soup. It's sour and sweet."

Zhuang Zhuang had never heard of sour plum soup, but he nodded happily. He was looking forward to the sweet and sour taste.

Just as Xiaoguo had expected, the two of them couldn't finish threading all the skewers even when Mrs. Yang returned at noon.

Xiaoguo washed away the oil on her hands before taking the herbs from Mrs. Yang.

Mrs. Yang wanted Xiaoguo to check if everything was there. Xiaoguo didn't even look at the herbs and went in to get the money.
