Fried Chicken in the Season of Falling Blossoms (Food)

Even if you've written several viral posts with over 100,000 likes, even if you've memorized cookbooks, have a sharp tongue, and a sensitive palate, you still can't be the heroine of a food novel. Because in your previous life, you lived on takeout. Every meal tasted the same, spring, summer, fall, and winter. You'd eaten pork, but never seen a pig run. You couldn't tell a duck leg from a goose leg, or sweet potato leaves from water spinach. When inspiration struck, you'd just throw scallions, ginger, and garlic into hot oil without thinking, then toss in ingredients and seasonings. Everything burned as soon as it hit the pan, turned too salty with a sprinkle of salt, and got drowned the moment you added water. After all that effort, the only things you could guarantee were cleanliness, hygiene, and terrible taste. Then, with a sudden snap, you died. You transmigrated into a book as a cannon-fodder character who disappears after two lines, and became bound to a food System that only lets you make chicken rice. What can you do? You might as well start by slaughtering that strutting, black-and-white speckled chicken! A supporting actress's life is still a life! - A little scene - Zhu Yu has been busy in the kitchen for ages and has finally made dinner. She hands it to the maid. “Just tell the eldest young master this is steamed chicken with bamboo shoots and ham.” The free-range chicken, raised for 180 days, is marinated with Sichuan peppercorns and black pepper, then steamed with scallion and ginger water. Paired with Jinhua ham and fried bamboo shoots, the chicken is tender but holds its shape, springy and refreshing. With fragrant rice that's soft, fluffy, and delicious, it's a filling feast! The maid looks at the bowl of chicken rice, which looks nothing like the description and is absolutely revolting. “Madam... I can't say that.” *Transmigrate into a book / System / food / sweet romance *The heroine's cooking is awful at first, but her skills will improve little by little!
