[Mapo Tofu in Legendary!]
[Mapo Tofu in Legendary: Mapo Tofu with six flavors in one, a dish created by Liu Maoxing through his comprehension of the sixth taste!]
[Through this dish, Liu Maoxing has officially embarked on the path of cooking!]
[It's up to you to save the light world and defeat the dark world!]
---
Takumi had just made his preparations when, to his surprise, Xiangling really got Mapo Tofu.
However, it seemed different from what he had expected!
When Sarah had watched "Hokage" earlier, she had received a recipe. Uncle Yile had decades of experience making Yile Ramen!
But when it came to Xiangling, why didn't she get a recipe? Instead, she received a piece of Mapo Tofu from the world of *Little Master*?
---
In *Little Master*, the rumored Mapo Tofu is a combination of six flavors: fragrant, spicy, color, hot, numb, and crispy. It was created by the Fairy Chef in *Legendary*.
The one that Xiangling got, however, was the dish Liu Maoxing had made to win the first culinary competition!
In this comparison, both Shao An and Ah Mao recognized that the sixth taste was "crispy," but they used it in different ways.
In the end, Liu Maoxing used his unique method to explain to Shao An: "A real chef uses more than just skills when making dishes. One needs heart. Only with heart can we create the most delicious dishes!"
This tofu was a testament to that!
---
At that moment, in the VIP box, a ray of light appeared before Xiangling and Guoba. The light dispersed, revealing an exquisite dish before one person and one crockpot.
"This… this! Isn't this a dish made by Liu Maoxing?" Xiangling exclaimed, curiously inspecting the dish.
It was delicious in color, fragrance, and taste. The aroma alone was enough to draw everyone's attention!
However, before Xiangling could pick up her chopsticks, the old foodie beside her, without hesitation, used two salesmen to carry the dish to the table. It was as if she were swallowing jujubes, devouring it with two big bites!
---
"Crispy rice!" came a shout from upstairs.
Takumi looked up, but now he couldn't ignore the unique fragrance wafting from above. This fragrance gradually spread throughout the store!
Though the store was well-ventilated and had a great environment, the distinct Sichuan flavor spread unnaturally through all the rooms.
---
"Wow! What is this? It smells so good!"
"I've never smelled anything like this before. Could it be a new dish from Miss Sarah?"
"Who ordered takeaway? How could it smell so delicious?"
"I can't stand it, my mouth is watering. Could this be Jueyun Pepper? Could it be Liyue cuisine?"
---
The rumored Mapo Tofu was indeed a dish with six magical flavors, but the smell alone had already captivated everyone in the store!
Though no one had the kitchen utensils, the tantalizing fragrance had already drawn everyone's attention.
A chorus of growling stomachs echoed around the room!
---
Upstairs, Xiangling was now standing with her hands on her hips, glaring at the crispy rice in front of her.
After hearing the commotion, Yanfei entered the room.
"What's wrong, Xiangling?" Yanfei asked, noticing the look on Xiangling's face.
Xiangling's cheeks were puffed, and she had some oil stains around her mouth, trying to cover it up.
"Did you… eat it all?" Yanfei asked, eyes narrowing mischievously.
Guoba, looking innocent, seemed to say, *Blame me. Who told me the food tasted so good? I couldn't help myself and finished it all at once.*
---
No wonder Xiangling was glaring. The rice crust—Maxius, the Demon God of the Stove—had eaten everything!
This demon god, once in charge of fire and livelihood in ancient Liyue, was the Kitchen God in Liyue's population. Grandma Ping called him the "Land Lord" of Liyue.
Before the Demon God War, Maxius helped human settlements master fire and cooking, bringing cooked food and culinary techniques to humanity.
If Maxius called himself a super chef, no one would dare challenge him. Thanks to his guidance, Xiangling was known as the "daughter of the planner."
---
Despite losing his power, Maxius still held strong connections, with many in Liyue being his old friends. In fact, it was his influence that made Xiangling a true culinary prodigy.
But right now, the food that had been drawn was devoured entirely by Maxius, leaving Xiangling fuming with her hands on her hips!
---
Afterward, Guoba seemed to realize his mistake.
Having finished his meal, he slowly walked over to Xiangling and tugged at her clothes.
"Crispy rice..." he mumbled innocently.
Guided by Guoba, Xiangling and Yanfei discovered a small ray of light where they had just finished eating.

[Mapo Tofu Recipe in Legendary!!]
---
Takumi, who thought things had quieted down for a while, was surprised to see Xiangling receiving a double yolk egg!
Had she actually gotten the recipe for Mapo Tofu? But it wasn't Liu Maoxing's version—it was the original recipe created by the Fairy Chef!
Xiangling was truly the chosen one.
For a moment, Takumi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was sad because he didn't get to taste the first bite of the Mapo Tofu, but happy because he had gotten exactly what he wanted from the anime!
---
With Yanfei and Guoba watching, Xiangling absorbed the experience in front of her.
All the methods for creating the dish were now perfectly imprinted in her mind. She only needed a kitchen to start cooking!
---
"Crispy rice, crispy rice!" Guoba cheered.
"Hehe, I, rice cracker, deserve to be the Demon God of the Stove! Xiangling, Xiangling, praise me quickly!"
Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
