There are a lot of descriptions of the chess pieces in the chess game, which gives off a pretentious and sophisticated feeling. It is recommended that there be some such descriptions but not too many, as it will make people tired and irritable after reading too much. But the food is still well described, which I like.
As the author of "The Poor Cook", I would like to share with you the creative process of this work: This novel started with a simple idea - to let food become a mirror to reveal the truth behind the palace. But as Lin He (Ah He) grows up, the story gradually takes on a life of its own. She is no longer just a palace maid who is good at cooking, but has become a symbol of sticking to her heart in the vortex of power. What moved me most in the creation was Ahe's choice when facing every crisis. When she smelled the faint smell of almonds in the honey brew, her keenness to discern the truth in subtle details is exactly what I want to convey to readers - in this world, the most powerful power often comes from persistence in details. From red sandalwood screens to Lingnan honey wine, there is a mystery behind every dish. But what is more important than the suspenseful clues is how Ahe completes his own transformation through repeated tests. She lets us see that true strength is not lost in power, but in making extraordinary achievements in ordinary positions. If the first volume is "breaking the situation", showing how a poor woman gained a foothold in the palace; then the second volume is "maintaining integrity", exploring how she maintains her original intention after gaining power. When Lin He went from being a cook to becoming a palace official, the temptations and traps she faced became more hidden, and the wisdom she needed became deeper. What I cherish most is the journey of readers growing up with Ahe. You are worried about her danger and rejoiced in her breakthrough. This resonance makes this story go beyond a simple palace battle narrative and become a journey for us to jointly explore human nature, power and original intention. I look forward to continuing to accompany you in the next chapters to see how Ahe uses one pot and one shovel to cook his own Qingming world in this nine-layered palace.
The description of the process of cooking and making snacks is very detailed and realistic. The psychological activities of the characters are delicate and real, and the overt and secret struggles in the palace seem calm and calm. There is an undercurrent surging in private. It's interesting, not bad.
As a bookworm of twenty years, it has been a long, long time since a novel has attracted me to stay up late every night until I finished reading it. Although the length is not long, the author's writing style is smooth and the writing skills are profound. The plot is ups and downs and exciting. It may be more perfect if the characters related to it (such as the princess, the seventh prince, the thirteenth, the apprentice, etc.) Can be explained in the follow-up. The above is just my humble opinion. I hope to publish more good books [Like]
The author is probably one of the best pastry chefs in Chinese writing [laughs]. He took a different approach and wrote the palace drama from the perspective of the imperial kitchen. The heroine relied on her superb pastry skills to go through ups and downs, and went through hardships to find the main culprit who framed her. The writing is good and the story is exciting [like].
Let's talk about the good parts first: The article is basically free of typos and is easy to read when reading through; 2. Article titles are basically seven-character titles, except for one chapter, and the title of the article is properly connected with the content, allowing people to grasp the key points and know what each chapter is about; The three articles are developed on the two lines of strategy and food. The two lines complement each other and are very enjoyable to read; The four pictures are intertwined with each other, and the reader's mood can easily change due to the changes in the heroine's situation. The bad: Every time the description is about the heroine who has just been promoted, she is on the cusp of some storm, and she is in some situation, and every time it is used after the heroine is promoted. However, although the author knows that the author wants to express the heroine's awareness of safety, it is a bit boring to use words like "however" and "in what kind of turmoil" every time; I don't know if everyone's expectations for this article are too high or something? The rating is a bit low, I think he deserves a rating of about 8 points. If you really calm down and read it, you will feel that this book is actually quite good. [Like] What I'm saying is that there's a typo in my review [I'm about to cry][I'm about to cry][I'm about to cry]
The rhythm is tight, the design is fresh, and it looks very nice. The character creation and description are also very good, and there is no male protagonist who runs out of nowhere. It was originally set to be a time travel, but then the heroine seemed to have become an ancient person.
The writing is quite good, but it's a bit scary to read. It's such a hard life for a chef.
It's very interesting. The author's books about cooks and food are all very interesting.
It looks good, it looks good, I say the important things three times, it's my type
