Features: One cannot settle for mediocrity in everything, especially when it comes to food. Most chefs are ordinary people with limited education, and without rewards or punishments, they tend to slack off and be lazy. If the cooking is not up to par today and you settle for it, tomorrow's dishes will be even more undercooked. If you eat food that lacks flavor and endure it without complaining, the next time the seasoning will be even more careless. This book is the masterpiece of Yuan Mei, a literary genius of the Qing Dynasty. It not only embodies the understanding of food and cooking by this great prose writer but also includes his unique evaluations and insights on the standard of living. It is both humorous and literary. Additionally, the book includes other classics of traditional Chinese food culture, such as: Lin Hong's Mountain Home's Simple Offerings (Song Dynasty), Li Yu's Random Notes on Leisure (Qing Dynasty), and Ni Zan's Yunlin Hall's Food System Collection (Yuan Dynasty). Reading these works offers a different kind of enjoyment and holds significant collectible value.
Here is the translation of the given content into English: "2" translates to "Sui Garden Food Manual 2"
