Play I Just Made a Big Pot Dish and Ended Up as the Prison Chef

Lu Yuan, a food blogger, transmigrates into the body of a street vendor with the same name. He wakes up inside a prison and is assigned the grueling job of cooking for inmates. The kitchen only has coarse grains and wild vegetables. Fortunately, he awakens the God of Cuisine System, allowing him to buy all kinds of ingredients and seasonings. His newbie reward is the "Essence of Sun and Moon Soup Base". Lu Yuan makes wild vegetable buns and thick wild vegetable soup, winning praise from the prisoners. When an inmate from the Heaven-rank cell is about to be released, he demands a feast. He deliberately makes things difficult for the prison magistrate, refusing food bought from restaurants and insisting on spicy meat. With no other choice, the magistrate sends Lu Yuan to cook for him. Lu Yuan conquers the inmate with boiled spicy pork slices. This inmate introduces himself as Jiang Rong, hall master under Guan Shanyue, and swears to prove Lu Yuan’s innocence once released. Lu Yuan’s wife Yu Mengcen comes to visit. During their conversation, Lu Yuan pieces together the truth: Li Yanzhou, the young master of the Li Clan, covets Yu Mengcen’s beauty and framed Lu Yuan to seize her. He comforts Yu Mengcen, telling her not to worry, for he will be free soon. On her way home, Yu Mengcen is harassed by thugs. Guan Shanyue arrives with his men to chase them away. Jiang Rong treats Yu Mengcen with great respect. After hearing how incredible Lu Yuan’s cooking is, Guan Shanyue decides to visit the prison to taste his food.
