When she heard Cook Li's words, Yao Zhi smiled and said, "I can share the preparation methods and some recipes with you, Cook Li."
The moment he heard this, Cook Li was stunned. Recipes were very valuable in this era. A good dish could bring honor to an entire family. This was why people rarely shared their secret recipes with others and instead kept them as family heirlooms.
Even in the military barracks, each cook guarded their cooking methods and recipes tightly. They would only impart their skills and knowledge to their sons or close disciples.
After a while, Cook Li regained his composure and asked, "Yao-shi, are you sure you want to tell me your secret recipes?"
Yao Zhi found his words strange and replied, "Cook Li, they're just some simple home-dish recipes. As a citizen of Great Yan, it's also my responsibility to contribute to the country. If my recipes can help improve the soldiers' lives, I will do it gladly."
