The streets and alleys of their hometown were filled with warm memories and enticing aromas. Cuihua and Chef Ai Lu entered a time-honored Hubei restaurant, its simple furnishings exuding a sense of history. They sat at an antique wooden table, eagerly awaiting their first traditional dish.

A fragrant roast duck, its skin crispy and meat tender, with a unique smoky flavor that made one's mouth water, was presented before them. This dish stirred up culinary memories deep within Cuihua's mind; she felt as if she had returned to her childhood, sitting in her grandmother's courtyard, savoring the roast duck her grandmother had made herself. That was the first time she had experienced the allure of food, and it was also the source of her talent and love for cooking.

The culinary genius Ai Lu became interested in a Sichuan dish next to him, a specialty called "Spicy Hot Pot." He noticed his fingers trembling slightly, a tremor he was certain only occurred when he encountered extraordinary food. This dish reminded him of hot pot feasts from his childhood, those winter nights spent with his family around a blazing iron pot, enjoying the warmth of the food and the warmth of family.

Cuihua and Ai Lu, the master chefs, decided to pass on these precious cultural heritages.

During their journey through time, Cuihua and Ai Lu, the master chef, witnessed all sorts of cuisines and civilizations, but they always felt that their connection to their hometown—Wuhan—was the strongest.

When they set foot on Wuhan soil again, the familiar yet strange feeling evoked a mix of emotions. They strolled through the bustling streets and alleys, searching for the flavors and memories that had accompanied them as they grew up.

In an unassuming little shop, they discovered a forgotten traditional delicacy—doupi (bean curd skin). Made with high-quality soybeans and glutinous rice, doupi is carefully ground, steamed, and fried, resulting in a crispy, sweet, and delicious treat that is a common breakfast choice for Wuhan residents. However, with the rapid pace of modernization, this traditional food has gradually been replaced by fast food and takeout, and few people still taste or preserve it.

Cuihua and Ai Lu, the master chefs, were deeply attracted by the unique flavor and production process of this bean curd skin. They decided to revive this delicacy and let more people know and appreciate its charm. They asked the shop owner for the secret to making bean curd skin and incorporated it into their own dishes, creating a brand new bean curd skin duck neck, which is very popular with diners.

Besides bean curd sheets, they also discovered many other traditional delicacies and cooking techniques in the streets and alleys of Wuhan. These included traditional stone-ground soy milk, slow-cooked chicken soup over a wood fire, and handmade dumpling wrappers. Behind these seemingly ordinary foods lies a rich culture and history.

Cuihua and Ai Lu, the master chefs, deeply felt that these traditional delicacies and cooking techniques were not only treasures of Wuhan, but also cultural heritages of China and even the world. They decided to revitalize and pass on these precious cultural heritages.

They began promoting these traditional dishes and cooking techniques in their restaurants, inviting local chefs and artisans to share their experiences and stories. They also created dedicated accounts on social media to showcase the charm and cultural significance of Wuhan cuisine to the world through videos and text.

During their journey back to their hometown, Cuihua and Ai Lu Chef not only rediscovered their love and passion for food, but also gained a deeper understanding of their responsibilities and mission as chefs. They hope that through their efforts, more people will learn about the culture and history behind the food, inherit and promote the excellent traditions of Chinese cuisine, and contribute to the progress of human civilization.
