The third reaction... wow... wasn't this dish lost to time?
Wait, that dish and that dish seem familiar from culinary classics, listed as the origin of mythical cuisine...
Bai He held her breath.
The crew gathered around to watch were from the film industry and didn't have in-depth knowledge of food, so they didn't know these dishes' names.
But Bai He had really put in the work on food research, having studied abroad for years and missing the flavors of home, she ended up researching all the traditional cuisine of the Empire.
Her family always thought she was fooling around, that a lady from a noble family learning to cook and race was a waste, she was practically the prodigal daughter.
Even her dad and brothers thought she would only ever understand food and fun, and that her future lay in marrying a slightly awesome husband for lifelong security.
So they actively pushed her to go on blind dates!
