My Food Became an Intangible Cultural Heritage Across the Stars

Si Xing was reborn nine hundred years in the future, with nothing to his name except the house his original body’s grandmother had left behind. After careful consideration, he decided to become the first in his family to get rich by livestreaming his cooking. Other people’s tomato and egg stir-fry: Mash the tomatoes into a pulp, toss the eggs into the pan whole, and stir-fry like crazy until everything is scorched beyond recognition. Si Xing’s tomato and egg stir-fry: Sweet and tangy tomatoes, tender, silky eggs, and a golden legendary dish straight out of the pan! Viewers who started out hurling abuse but ended up loving it: I was going to call him out for messing around and wasting ingredients, but his food smelled so good! The tears of shame streamed from the corners of my mouth. Si Xing thought Moon, the robot he worked so hard to support, was a real robot. Who knew that one day it would start talking! Robot: My true identity is Xie Xun, the richest man alive. I really love your cooking. Would you consider working for me privately? We can discuss the compensation. Si Xing: ??? Do you think you’re Qin Shi Huang, crowdfunding for treasure hunters and appointing me a great marshal? Pah! I’m not falling for that! Xie Xun: No, that’s not it. I’m only trying to seduce you. Bonus scene: “Hello, esteemed viewers. Today I’m making the crab dish that Ximen Qing’s wife cooks in The Plum in the Golden Vase.” Viewers: “Wait! What was that book called?” Coming soon: After the Return of the Supernatural, I Became the Most Popular Video Creator Lu Zhao was a hopelessly obscure video creator who specialized in uploading videos about the supernatural. Viewers: [Did this NPC get her nails done on the street for five yuan? Even my press-ons look better!] [You really didn’t put any effort into the makeup. This female ghost is going bald. Can’t you buy a decent wig?] [Damn, has this NPC not brushed her teeth in eight hundred years? Her mouth is full of filth. Gross.] Later, supernatural incidents surged around the world. Countless people died, and everyone lived in constant fear. Only then did people look back at Lu Zhao’s videos and realize: Holy crap! This guy’s crushing the head of a ghost that just wiped out an entire city with his bare hands! [QAQ What do you mean, shoddy production? You lied to me. These are real ghosts!!! Master!! Please let me cling to your coattails!!] Overnight, Lu Zhao became famous across the globe, and countless people begged him to save their lives. Lu Zhao expressionlessly crushed a ghost’s hand. “Want to stay alive? Then start by giving the video a like.” Friend’s ongoing novel: The Male Lead’s Foil in a Period Novel [Book Transmigration] by Chun Shan You Zhi The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character Quits I Was Raised by a Boss in an Infinite Dungeon by Ting Yun Li: As Long as I Pretend Nothing Happened, I Won’t Know They’re Bosses Friend’s upcoming novel: After Being Reborn, He Went on a Killing Spree [Infinite] by Lin Yao: A max-level expert returns to the Infinite Game to take revenge and punish scumbags Theme: Bringing traditional cuisine to new heights
