The imperial chef Zhu Yuci transmigrates to an interstellar world on the very night he resigns from his post.
In this strange new world of highly advanced technology, humanity has developed sensory suppression disorder as a result of the evolution of their mental abilities. Only delicious food can awaken the five senses, so the status of chefs has risen accordingly.
Rubbing his hands with anticipation, Zhu Yu logs on to the Star Network livestreaming platform, hoping to check out the new recipes his fellow chefs have to offer. Instead, he sees:
"For home cooking, get our all-in-one seasoning blend, with a complimentary food-shaping base! Top-tier technology: stir, mix, and recreate a chef's delicious cooking right at home!"
"Today, we're making a white-person meal that was all the rage online in the ancient era. Boil eggs and chicken breast with a little salt, cut an air-freighted cucumber into strips, and arrange it carefully for a delicious meal!"
"All right, I finally got a reservation. Let's try the famous chef's signature premade dish, Steak King. Just heat it up in the robot for a few seconds. Now let's taste it. Mmm, blood gushes from my mouth. Delicious!"
"Carefully select the tiniest bit of the finest pulp from one hundred bayberries. Make sure each strand can pass through a needle's eye! Then use a molecular pulverizer and reshaper to make today's top-tier bayberry caviar, perfectly reproducing the taste of bayberries. No wonder this molecular gastronomy dish is the favorite creation of this year's winner of last year's chef competition!"
Zhu Yu's eyes widen in shock. Zhu Yu cannot understand.
He takes a few deep breaths, then slams the table and stands up. "You actually call this trash food!"
From the moment he starts livestreaming, he'll give this world a taste of the Eight Great Cuisines of China!
Four Happiness Meatballs and Double-Crisp Stir-Fry, Scallion-Braised Sea Cucumber and Clay Pot Pork. Clear broth, rich creamy soup. A perfect feast of ten dishes that leaves all the competition in the dust!
Mapo Tofu, Sichuan Boiled Pork, Husband and Wife Lung Slices, and Spicy Blood Curd. Then there's the ultimate weapon, hot pot: numbing, spicy, savory, and aromatic, making you eat until tears stream down your face without stopping!
Wenchang Chicken, Roast Marinated Pigeon, and Steamed Sea Bass. Chicken that tastes like chicken, fish that tastes like fish. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, and true flavor moves the heart!
Stinky Mandarin Fish, Moldy Tofu, and River Snail Rice Noodles. They smell awful but taste amazing. Their flavors defy convention, inspiring a love so fierce it borders on obsession!
From then on, Chinese cuisine sweeps across the entire interstellar world.
The richest man in the galaxy spends a fortune on a single dish from Zhu Yu. The interstellar king of pop is photographed by paparazzi lining up late at night for a reservation. And the Imperial Marshal, who has suffered from anorexia for years, suddenly logs on to show off:
"Good morning. How did you know Zhu Yu said yes to my proposal yesterday?"
