Bliss Point, whose Chinese name means... the point of satisfaction, is a subtle state. Even a little more or a little less can ruin the happiness people get from it. The term was originally coined by a world-famous beverage company to describe sweetness.
You could also understand it as bliss.
But later, the word was overused in all sorts of fields. Economists are particularly good at borrowing terms, so they keep trying to work bliss points into every economic theory and application. Unfortunately, humanity's pursuit of money and status can never be satisfied, so this ideal point doesn't exist.
Food, however, is different.
Just the right amount of salt, exactly that hint of sweetness, a touch of sourness, a little heat to excite the tongue, and even the bitterness people try to avoid: when paired well, all of it can bring... ultimate satisfaction. Seen that way, a good chef is worth more than thousands of so-called elites.
At least, that's what Chi Qinghuai believes.
Because Chi Qinghuai is a chef, or more precisely, a private chef. The kind without a restaurant who spends every day cooking in other people's kitchens. As it happens, she never imagined she'd become someone who spent every day dealing with the necessities of life. After all, she could read a thousand characters at three, write essays at five, play the zither beautifully, and had a head full of knowledge. Surely she was destined for an intellectual career.
But because of one woman, her path quietly split in two.
Theme: Food can bring people satisfaction, but what about... love?
