Sorry for dropping off the face of the Earth. RL was... dynamic.

Here we go with yet another WIP. I need to feel creative... T-T

Silkie Chicken Soup (乌鸡汤) This Silkie Chicken Soup is a healthy and nutrient-rich soup with a touch of sweetness ideal for cooler weather or when you are under the weather. A whole black-skinned silkie chicken simmers for 2 hours in my Dutch oven with ginger, dried jujubes, shiitake mushrooms, goji berries, and a small ear of corn until the broth is savory, and lightly sweet.

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

[yokowan]

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.

at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly

[shithowdy]

at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.

at some point in your life you will be adding a small pasta to a soup and you will think "that is not enough small pasta." this is the devil talking. the pasta will absorb the stock and expand. this is how you end up with a soup that is a solid mass of soggy ditalini.

[foldingfittedsheets]

at some point in your life you will be bringing sugar and butter to boil for toffee and you will think “it hasn’t thickened enough.” that is the devil talking. the toffee needs to cool before it can set. this is how you end up with toffee that will annihilate your mouth. learn from this folly.

At first Li Lianhua wasn't worried, curiously examining the strange dead bug in his hand. The singular positive of Bicha poison was the immunity it lent against other potential poisons, so he let the insect fall out of his hand onto the ground and promptly forgot about it.

Until a few hours later, watching a potential client storm off.

“There's nothing wrong with you that drinking water and getting some rest won't cure,” he heard himself say with some horror. “My medical advice is, drink less alcohol.” He then watched with stunned detachment as his salary for the day stomped away in outrage, in search of a more serious physician.

If li lianhua's family lived he would have been the prince of nanyin and i wonder how much of canon would change.

I love the Jianghu world where any woman dressed as a man somehow has perfect passing that nobody ever questions.

And (though that happens more rarely) men dressed as women too.

“A-Fei,” Li Lianhua said, keeping his voice light. “Why do you look as though we would break our promise?”

A-Fei huffed out a breath. “It would be the smart thing to do.”

“A-Fei,” Fang Xiaobao said. “Will you tell us why you need the vessel?”

Meeting his eyes silently, A-Fei held Xiaobao’s gaze for a long moment. Then he opened the pouch, pulling out the ice shards and placing them at the openings of the Rama vessel.
