    My new book is out! It should be tagged as "historical" but I'll change it later. While the beginning is a time-travel story, the main text doesn't feature any fantastical elements like systems or cheat codes. It focuses more on historical facts and events, striving for accuracy in all titles, names, places, and social contexts. Those interested in history can learn more about the Spring and Autumn Period through this book. Additionally, every few chapters, the author details the recipes for traditional Chinese dishes, including the preparation processes for some state banquet dishes, as well as highly confidential recipes and ingredients, such as the recipes and methods for making various hot pot broths. Readers who enjoy cooking can treat this book as a cookbook; by following the steps, you're sure to create dishes you've never tried before. A special reminder: if you're a kitchen novice and make a mess, don't blame the author! [Awkward laugh]
