Duel in front of the emperor, narrowly won with one move. Eighteen-year-old Liu Angxing took over the imperial kitchen's golden knife and became the youngest palace chef in the Qing Dynasty for two hundred years.
But the splendid Forbidden City has never been just a kitchen.
Li Lianying's temptation, Emperor Guangxu's secret decree, and the conservative plot - the first bowl of porridge is a life and death situation. What's even more terrible is that the "eating devil" who was defeated by Master Abe has made a comeback. Eight legendary kitchen utensils are scattered all over the world. A cooking war sweeping the government and the public and the world has just begun.
From the imperial dining room to the cliffs of the Yangtze River, from Emei Suzhai to the isolated islands in the South China Sea. Knife duel, fire battle, ultimate cooking for three days and three nights - this is not cooking, this is hard work.
Dudu's waiting, A Fei's return, Shiro's growth, Ren's sword soul... The old team reunited, and the Seven Stars returned to their positions.
The young master said: Cooking is something that brings happiness to people.
But what if this happiness must be protected with a kitchen knife?
Open this book and witness how a young chef cooks for an entire era with one pot and one knife!
