Zhao Chuchu was reborn in a time before the apocalypse. As soon as the space was filled with supplies, something fell from a high altitude and killed her. Then, she transmigrated, becoming a small villager in an unknown dynasty. She started this new life by taking out the natives, dealing with the plague, and becoming a divine doctor in one fell swoop. Using her fists, she gained high status. She bullied those scums until they cried for their mommy and begged for mercy. She produced large quantities of rice, beans, and sweet potatoes… She could do everything, and she earned a lot of money with that. Everyone watched as she reconciled with Xiao Xiucai. They watched until a baby was born, as well as until Xiao Xiucai became the top scholar and smoothly became the Chief Minister. Then, everyone waited for the day the Chief Minister would divorce his wife, who went through hardships in life with him. They waited and waited until the couple had grown old, the two living together for the rest of their lives.

The Chief Minister’s Ferocious Wife

Xie Heng was an intelligent man. It was not only in his studies but his culinary skills as well.

Zhao Chuchu only told him about fried potato pancakes but did not explain the steps, yet he somehow figured it out himself. First, he steamed the potatoes, removed the skins, and mashed them. Then, he coated them in flour, egg wash, and other ingredients. Lastly, he fried all of them after kneading them into balls.

Sitting before the stove, Zhao Chuchu watched Xie Heng fry all the potato pancakes until they became golden, causing her hungry stomach to growl.

Peering at Zhao Chuchu's gluttonous look, Xie Heng raised the corner of his mouth. Then, he took two freshly fried potato pancakes, served them in a bowl, and handed them to her. "Try them. Tell me how the taste is."

"Mmm. It smells good." Zhao Chuchu got a whiff of the pancakes' aroma. "Although it is missing some ingredients, the taste is almost close to the authentic one."
