I don't want stories where the System gives the protagonist individual recipes and they can only cook those dishes. I want a proper chef and food story.

She has a soft and waxy feeling. She is very everyday and warm. She has full-level cooking skills at the beginning. She looks more and more warm as she goes on. I feel a little put off by the name, which looks like someone in her forties or fifties.

I love watching this type of stuff, it's so effortless. They are all articles about farming and food. I like the article about the elder sister-in-law the best. There is no big story about palace fighting going to Beijing or anything like that. There is almost no emotional line. They are all about driving the development of the whole village. It is easy to follow. The writing is good and the plot is not exaggerated.

They are all food books that I have already read. I won't talk about the first one, but the title can be summed up. It is best not to read it at night because you will be hungry. The second is to look for ingredients in various planes, but there are strange foods in various worlds. I also traveled to Journey to the West and worshiped the Great Sage as my teacher. The fourth book must not be deceived by the title. It is a food story. It is very interesting. The male and female protagonists are ordinary people and very warm. 5 Is to travel to the world of cultivation and become a cook

I have to say that it's getting harder and harder to find interesting food articles that you can read [I'm about to cry]. The first two are old books, and the last two are recent ones. 1️⃣It belongs to both food and family. 2️⃣The story of a mature man and woman in the South? 3️⃣It is quite special and started from scratch. It started from pdd accumulating points to make seasonings. (The routine is so familiar, don't you think so? Tomato) 4️⃣ Food must be interesting.
