Ever since I took over the family’s dinner, my parents have never given me a good look. . .
Millet porridge + pickles, rice porridge + pickles, and occasionally stir-fried pork slices with cabbage. From the look in my mother's eyes, she must have suspected that she had given birth to a fake daughter.
But this fairy is also very helpless! I'm afraid the chicken legs and wings will be burnt on the outside and raw on the inside; I don't dare to touch the seafood and freshwater; as for egg tarts, cookies, French fries... these snacks and desserts sound like they are the most difficult!
Well, one day I discovered that a mysterious and useful magic pot had quietly emerged in my circle of friends. It is said that its functions are comparable to that of an oven + fryer + microwave. No oil is required for cooking, and you can become a health expert in seconds.
And, most importantly! This pot requires almost no cooking skills. Yang Guo can cook a Manchu-Han banquet with it.
