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

Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe were still unaware of what had happened at home.

When they arrived at the county city, Jiang Danhe did not go to the noodle shop. Instead, he went to a wine shop and instructed Xiaoguo to wait for him before he went in by himself.

Xiaoguo nodded. Although he didn't say anything, she could guess his intentions.

Jiang Danhe came out with a jar of <anno data-annotation-id="0f3e3c10-3eff-46bd-b7ef-515327e4ab0e">Nu'erhong</anno>. According to the customs here, wine was usually given during the opening of a restaurant. It signifies that the restaurant would enjoy a long and lasting business.

Xiaoguo held onto the wine jar while Jiang Danhe drove the donkey cart steadily to the noodle shop.

This was the first time the two of them had seen the noodle shop after its renovations. The shop entrance had become wider. Looking inside, they realized that the interior had more than doubled in size.
