"You ask me what I need to bring when exploring a dungeon?" "An enchanted longsword, a mithril suit of armor, a shriveled loaf of bread..." "No, buddy, you don't need any of that." "The only thing you need is a pot." ...A wild slime appears! "Grab it, coat it evenly with salt, and dry it instantly—dried slime is ready, chewy and a must-have for satisfying cravings." A wild walking mushroom appears! "Cut off its legs, add it to cream and simmer—a savory, melt-in-your-mouth creamy mushroom soup that's unforgettable; thickly slice its body and fry it—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, bursting with juice in every bite, leaving you wanting more." A wild goblin appears! "...Smells bad, tastes even worse. Take its roots for medicine, then make Dass!"

Aunt Guifen caught seven fish in one go in the pond where there were none.
A traitor caused trouble, but Aunt Guifen saved the hostage with an arrow and subdued the fleeing traitor.
Hunting pheasants, picking mushrooms, digging ginseng in the deep mountains... unafraid of jackals and tigers.
Life got better and better, and the envious old woman couldn't win against her in arguments or fights, nor could she get any of the benefits, so she could only be jealous.
...
My son wrote, and I had the opportunity to join him in the army.
Aunt Guifen took her twin daughters-in-law to join the army.
The family compound of the Northeast Military Region is nestled against the mountains, which are full of treasures. Guifen has raised her daughter-in-law to be plump and healthy, making her a beautiful young woman in the compound.
The two little grandchildren looked just like little dumplings, so soft and cuddly that all the grandmothers in the courtyard wanted to come and hug and kiss them.
Guifen quickly carried him away, saying, "Let your daughter-in-law give birth."
Wang Guifen felt that her son had struck it lucky to marry such a beautiful woman.

Also known as: The female protagonist of this angst-filled novel is nothing more than a bunch of gluttonous girls (I cured my love-struck mind with food) (Food Heals the World)
In another time and space, Lin Wei watched as a female protagonist from his previous world chased after him, begging for food, and fell into deep thought.
——
Lin Wei, a top-tier female chef with exceptional talent in China.
Although he transmigrated here to work as a background character who helps maintain the female lead's happiness.
But Lin Wei said she didn't understand.
Is it possible to be happy after repeatedly struggling with the male protagonist and suffering physical and emotional humiliation and harm?
Instead of indulging in love and romance, which can be incredibly painful, why not enjoy the happiness of delicious food?
So the female academic star, who was originally going to be the school heartthrob's simp for three years, stopped doing so.
He was determined to study hard to get into university, and he also craved the rice noodle stall near the school gate every day.
The female academic star: Isn't high school life all about studying? Dating? You watch too many TV dramas.
When the innocent girl who is a substitute for a rich family no longer worries about gains and losses, and no longer gets caught up in melodramatic and tragic love stories.
Little White Flower: Love is nothing compared to the aroma of lunch. I just want to poach the chef and have her cook for me three meals a day!
Even the real heiress in the "True or False Heiress" story doesn't engage in internal strife anymore. How can one expect something like family affection to exist?
If you have time, wouldn't it be nice to have another meal of golden egg fried rice?
What? The stall owner isn't open today? The sky is falling!
A female celebrity in the entertainment industry, a female general with illustrious military achievements in ancient times...
Huh? A post-apocalyptic setting?
I'm just a chef, why should I go to such a dangerous dimension?
The system rolled its eyes:
Who told you to cook such delicious food? Even the people two dimensions away from the next dimension can smell it!
After exhausting her health, internet celebrity Jiang Nianchu unexpectedly gained the opportunity to travel through time. With seven days left before the time limit, she went on a shopping spree, hoarding 30 million worth of supplies before traveling to the Great Yu Kingdom, which was in turmoil and suffering from a severe drought.
Because of a marriage contract, Jiang Nianchu married Song Lin, the third son of the Song family. After the marriage, everyone in the village said that the Song family had brought back a patriarch.
She complained that rice bran porridge was too sore to swallow, so I made her a steamed egg custard every day.
The clothes had to be made of fine silk and brocade, costing more than three taels of silver per foot.
She even complained that the pillows at home were uncomfortable and made a fuss about Song Lin buying her a silk pillow.
Aside from her pretty face, she was practically useless, yet the entire Song family always spoiled her.
Jiang Nianchu responded, "It's all because the Song family's luck has been getting better and better since I joined them."
Even on their journey to escape famine, they were blessed with good fortune, finding large gold bars in any random cave they entered.
The entire Song family tacitly agreed that Jiang Nianchu was destined for great fortune, and that treating her well would bring them great luck; they should simply spoil her rotten.
"Boss, one tea egg, please." "Fifty yuan each." "...Why so expensive?" A shop located on a dilapidated street in the city center. A seemingly ordinary tea egg dares to sell for fifty yuan a piece? This is outrageous! Has the owner gone mad? Aren't they afraid of being investigated? This is the story of a clever small business owner who, with the help of a culinary system, promotes Chinese cuisine through his own efforts and becomes a master chef. (P.S. This is my first time writing a novel. Please add it to your favorites if you like it, haha.) [Eating Bananas in Northern Fujian]

[The female lead is intelligent and slightly goofy, while the male lead is obsessive, neurotic, sarcastic, soft-hearted, and arrogant.]
Yu Guiwan, living in the apocalypse, had thought about all sorts of ways she could die, but she never imagined that she, a top-notch chef, could be poisoned to death by a pot of mushroom soup!
She was filled with humiliation, only to discover that she had traveled through time.
Even more humiliating was that, as soon as she came back to life, her heart was stabbed by the original owner's husband, her immortal bones were removed, and all of them were given to his innocent and virtuous disciple, euphemistically called a sacrifice of love.
Yu Guiwan: You scoundrel, you know how to use a CPU!
But what she didn't expect was that she could transmigrate again. When she opened her eyes again, there was still a year before her immortal bones were taken away... She decided to cultivate diligently and hold on for the time being!
She made a comeback, taking cooking as her path, and became known as an unambitious culinary practitioner.
Yu Guiwan: I'm not afraid!
With a flick of the spatula and a toss of the pot, she can make everything from boiled pork slices and spicy crab to snail rice noodles—if you can imagine it, she can make it! Doesn't that smell amazing?
Joined the poorest sect? No problem!
Is it just about earning spirit stones? She does mukbangs, delivers takeout, and even the Sword Sect's top experts have become her delivery guys. Why would she worry about going broke?
Before he knew it, he had won over many powerful figures, and even the cold and aloof Demon Lord had the audacity to come and freeload a meal.
[Time Travel] + [Alternate Universe] + [No System] Zhao Heng, a middle-aged executive at a tech company, was laid off and switched to delivering food, only to die suddenly.
His soul transmigrated to the late Great Yu Dynasty, becoming a destitute farmer separated from his wife and children. Facing his two infant children, he relied on his survival skills from his previous life to catch bamboo worms and make braised meat, barely managing to survive in this chaotic world.
However, the aroma of a pot of braised meat attracted the covetous eyes of wolves. Local thugs came to his door, wanting to steal the secret recipe and even kidnap his daughter.
In a desperate situation, a band of "mountain bandits" broke down the door, and the young man leading them turned out to be his brother-in-law!
Thus, a long-buried case involving a military family was suddenly revealed: a missing wife, relatives who had become outlaws, and the sinister hand behind the scenes that had overthrown the court...
Zhao Heng, thrust into the eye of the storm by fate, resolutely stepped into the turbulent currents of this chaotic world to protect his family and clear his name of a long-standing injustice.
Watch how he starts from a pot of braised meat, stirs up the winds of change, and establishes his own order on the verge of collapse of the dynasty!
This is an era of delicious food, where people are tempted by a multitude of culinary delights!
Behold the legendary culinary adventures of the ultimate foodie, the chubby guy, in this culinary age!
In this book, Xiao Zang has included a large number of delicious recipes, hoping they will suit everyone's taste!
What to do when reborn into a cultivation world where everyone practices abstinence from grains? Ling Yue, a top chef in China, firmly believes that no one can escape the "it smells so good" law; those who can escape it simply aren't culinary enough! Everything that flies in the sky, grows on the ground, runs on the ground, swims in the water, or is nurtured in fire can be turned into delicious dishes, their aroma spreading for miles. Doesn't that make your mouth water? Of course, it does! But what good is satisfying only your appetite? Fine, Ling Yue rolls up her sleeves and starts making special spiritual foods. Lotus flower pastries, peach blossom cakes, and fresh flower cakes that quickly restore spiritual energy! Lotus root and demon bone soup and spirit fish soup that heal internal injuries faster and more effectively than healing pills… Roasted chicken, roasted duck, roasted ribs, and roasted pig's trotters that quickly restore stamina; fried chicken legs, fried ribs, and fried meatballs that quickly stop bleeding… If that's still not enough, there are also rare delicacies that grant the ability to fly, become immune to spells, teleport, ignore formations, seal space, and create illusions. Although time is limited, almost no one can resist! Ling Yue's sudden appearance has led a group of cultivators who practice the fasting method to stray further and further down the path of gluttony... Main characters: Ling Yue, Mo Junze
Not a wish-fulfillment novel + There is a male lead + The male lead has very little screen time in the early stages!
This is a story about a female protagonist's growth throughout her life, without relying on the male protagonist's resources.
Warning: The female lead is a bit too saintly in the early episodes. If you mind that, don't watch it, or you'll get angry.

When Wang Yanxi woke up, she found herself transmigrated into the post-apocalyptic survival novel she had been staying up all night to read.
Even worse!
She was even assigned to the same district as Feng Wuying, the villain who slaughtered the district in the novel!
To avoid being targeted by the villainous character, she set three ironclad rules for herself:
Absolutely no system announcements!
I absolutely refuse to be included in the leaderboard!
Never steal anything the villains have their eyes on!
However, the S-rank hidden title, "Koi Sacred Body," grants you maximum luck!
In addition, there's a hidden profession: [Dark Cuisine Master]...
Her path to survival seems destined to be "high-profile".
Others eat her "disastrous cuisine".
The half-zombie buff makes it want to bite anyone it sees.
Uncontrollably bursting into song on the spot,
It intermittently meows like a cat, as if it's having a seizure.
Even the top assassin became a chatterbox after eating her cooking...
The cold-blooded villain, after eating her pancake, suddenly glowed with fluorescent green all over, looking like a shimmering human Christmas tree!
Wang Yanxi: Help! I just want to survive and get through the game, why am I always being targeted by the villains?!
