The System Asked Me to Reproduce a Lost Recipe

Shu Yun is a young chef who runs a private kitchen in Suzhou. She is quiet and rigorous. The stove is where she feels most comfortable. She didn't expect that she would be bound to a "time and space taste collection system" from 300 years later. Its mission was to reproduce lost ancient dishes to collect taste data, but it fell into the modern era due to a delivery error. There is a bug in the system that drives Shu Yun crazy: there is no way to provide guidance on how to do it. It can only issue tasks, accept results, and then issue rewards from the future. Shu Yun can only rely on herself, from the Lianfang fish buns offered by Shanjia Qing Dynasty to the ancient dishes in Chu Ci that require research on ingredient substitution, groping, experimenting, failing, and starting over one by one. In the process, she reunited with Pei Shaoning, associate professor of history, the boy she met when she was stealing loquats when she was a child. He was gentle and distant, but he stood at the kitchen door and watched her for a long time while she was cooking. The system is gradually "assimilated" by modern food culture. Shu Yun went from a private kitchen manager to a state banquet kitchen, facing challenges at all levels including prejudice, capital, public opinion and power. This is not a cheating story. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
