Cuisine: Starting with Conquering the Korean Sour Peninsula

Believing the rumor that selling snacks abroad was a surefire way to get rich, Wang Chengpeng packed up everything he owned and resolutely set off for the peninsula.

He never expected it to be the Sour Korea Peninsula. When faced with delicious food from China, the locals had nothing but skepticism, prejudice, and stubborn denials:

“How are you supposed to eat your jianbing guozi without kimchi?”

“Your fruit salad doesn’t even have watermelon rind or corn cobs. What kind of crap is this?”

“Why is your roast chicken dripping with juice? Did you inject it with water?”

“Boss, you can keep refilling this noodle dish forever, right? I don’t want the soup, just the free toppings at the condiment bar. So giving me a 95 percent discount is only fair, right?”

Just as Wang Chengpeng was about to be defeated by this stingy world and slink back home, the God of Cooking System finally came online:

“Ding! The Host’s determination has been detected. The God of Cooking System is now activated. Let’s conquer the world with delicious food!”

“Ding! The main quest has begun. We’ll start by conquering the Sour Korea Peninsula. It’s time to let the peninsula experience the shock of Chinese cuisine!”

“Ding! The beginner quest has begun. Sell one hundred standard jianbing guozi at a reasonable price, without kimchi, and satisfy one hundred customers!”

“Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have received the beginner’s gift pack: advanced jianbing guozi-making skills, guaranteed to silence even the most stubborn critics!”

Years later, a reporter from a global food magazine asked Wang Chengpeng the question that had been on his mind during an interview:

“Mr. Wang, why is your cooking so exceptional?”

Wang Chengpeng sighed. “I never wanted to be this good. At first, I just wanted to find out how stubborn certain people could be.”
