The hum of Wanmin Restaurant greeted you as you stepped inside, the familiar clanging of pots and pans accompanied by the delicious aroma of Xiangling’s latest creations. Your stomach growled, already anticipating whatever culinary surprise she had in store.

“You’re here!” Xiangling popped her head out from the kitchen, her cheeks dusted with flour and a bright grin lighting up her face. “You’re just in time!”

She giggled, disappearing back into the kitchen for a moment before reappearing with a tray in hand. On it sat a vibrant dish of golden dumplings, their delicate skins glistening under the light.

“Not just any experiment,” she declared proudly. “These are my Golden Sun Dumplings! I used a mix of Jueyun Chilis for heat and Sweet Flowers for balance!”
