You Asked Me to Cook a Country Banquet, So I Made the Manchu-Han Imperial Feast

Ou Huang returned to his hometown, intending to enjoy a leisurely life. But he was forced to bind himself to a strange System. He was assigned to be the village cook, responsible for preparing dishes for village banquets. Whether it was a senior's birthday, a baby's full-month celebration, or a wedding feast... every joyous occasion in the countryside was in Ou Huang's hands! From red-braised pork knuckle to four-joy meatballs to pork belly with preserved mustard greens, every dish Ou Huang made was not only tempting to look at and wonderfully fragrant, but tasted incredible too. The villagers fought to get a taste every time. *Ding!* The System sent a new quest: "Accept Ms. Yan Shuhua's request. - Quest details: This year is Ms. Yan's sixtieth birthday. She hopes to hold a funeral-themed dinner party for herself at a special moment in her life. Are you willing to take the job?" Ou Huang replied, "Sure!" From then on, the whole village seemed to catch fire with enthusiasm, organizing all kinds of banquets so they could enjoy feasts of delicious food. This trend didn't annoy anyone. On the contrary, everyone was happy to join in. One villager suggested, "Honey, why don't we work overtime tonight and make another baby?" Someone else heard that their neighbor's sow had given birth to ten piglets at once and excitedly declared that they had to throw a big party to celebrate. There were even jokes going around: "You have to be realistic about life. Don't rush me into getting married just for the sake of joining in the fun!"
