Description
Wang Ying, who had endured seven or eight years in the apocalypse and was starving, travelled back to the 1960s. The cousin in the next room had a fever. When she woke up, she was making a fuss about breaking off the engagement with her fiance. The crying aunt came to Wang Ying and asked her to marry him. When Wang Ying heard that the other party was a cook, she was immediately happy. What a good cook. Haven’t you heard that after three years of severe drought, the cook will not starve to death? After experiencing the apocalypse, Wang Ying’s biggest dream is to have enough food. Her cousin painstakingly arranged Wang Ying’s marriage, then waited for a few years to become the richest man’s wife. The result: While the cousin was fawning over her stepson and stepdaughter, Wang Ying was eating roasted chicken nuggets. While the cousin was dealing with the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and grandmothers-in-law, Wang Ying was eating pickled fish. While her cousin was busy doing housework and walking around the pot, Wang Ying was eating pork and cabbage stewed with vermicelli. …… The cousin counted the time on her fingers, why hasn’t she become the wife of the richest man yet? On the other side, Wang Ying’s chef husband won awards, cooked state banquets, and opened a hotel chain. The cold-faced chef Xu Shuang was washing Wang Ying’s feet and asked her dotingly: “Would it be good to eat rose-flavoured glutinous rice balls for a midnight snack?”

My Thoughts on Marrying a Cook in the 1960s
I recently dove into "Marrying a Cook in the 1960s," and I have some thoughts to share. It's a charming slice-of-life story with a dash of historical drama and a focus on the simple pleasures of home cooking.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the premise: a foodie protagonist marrying a taciturn chef in a historical setting. The idea of a love story built around food and everyday life was instantly appealing. The novel sets a relaxing tone right away, and it's easy to get swept up in the daily routines of the characters.
What Works Well
One of the strongest aspects of this novel is its focus on the relationship between the main characters. The female lead's passion for food and the male lead's dedication to cooking for her creates a sweet and understated romance. Their affection is shown through acts of service, and I appreciated the lack of grand romantic gestures. It felt very genuine and true to the time period.
I also enjoyed the supporting characters, especially the male lead's mother. She's a warm and supportive mother-in-law, and I loved seeing her develop a close bond with the female lead. The complex family relationships added depth to the story, and it was nice to see positive portrayals of familial love and support.
The slice-of-life aspect is also well-executed. The story provides a comforting glimpse into the daily lives of the characters, and it's easy to get invested in their routines and struggles. While there are some dramatic elements involving petty thugs and criminals, the story never feels too intense. The protagonists are generally calm and hardworking, and they manage to navigate the challenges around them with grace.
Areas of Concern
While I thoroughly enjoyed the overall story, I can see how some might find the pacing a bit slow. The focus on daily life means that there aren't always major plot developments, and some readers might prefer a more action-packed narrative. But for me, the charm of the novel lies in its simplicity and focus on character development.
Final Verdict
Overall, "Marrying a Cook in the 1960s" is a heartwarming and enjoyable read. It's a perfect choice for readers who enjoy slice-of-life stories with a focus on food, family, and sweet romance. While it may not be for everyone, I found it to be a comforting and engaging experience. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and heartwarming story.
