A Country Chef Gets Questioned? I Fire Back with a State Banquet!

Zhang Yuan, a chef in Ping'an Village, is possessed by someone who transmigrated while he was haggling over prices. He takes over the village's celebration and funeral banquets, but he's so broke he can barely make ends meet. After awakening the Banquet Chef God System, he fires up three woks at once, frying spices until the aroma draws a million views! His knife work turns Wensi tofu into a chrysanthemum, astounding provincial officials. Even his sworn rival follows the aroma over with a 300-yuan gift! While livestreaming his preparations, Zhang Yuan faces teasing from the neighbors, a host who springs extra tables on him at the last minute, and disdain for rural banquets from city relatives. With god-tier cooking, Zhang Yuan overcomes every challenge: three woks blazing at once to bring out the wok hei, Wensi tofu carved with knife skills that amaze everyone, and an ancient osmanthus brew whose fragrance carries for miles. The influential viewer Dieyi supports him with livestream tips, while provincial officials visit in disguise to see for themselves and recognize his talent. From a village chef under suspicion to a banquet cooking god famed far and wide, he stirs up a storm with his spatula and forges his own triumphant path in the kitchen! During flood relief efforts, he also warms people's hearts with great-pot meals, becoming a legend of his time…
