16:" Jin Yong's Unique Art of Rampaging in a Different World ": recommendation:💚💚💚💚
Old Master Jin Yong's martial arts definitely enriched the first half of our lives. Therefore, it was not easy to write about Jin Yong's Doujin. The good thing was that there were too many points of resonance. The bad thing was that because it was familiar, the requirements would be higher. This was an old book, so the requirements were not too high. There were enough words.
" Bringing Wuxia to Thunderbolt " was a rare Thunderbolt Doujinshi novel. The author used the ancient plains as a starting point and the Timeline as a clue to tell the story. The writing style was passable, and it was close to the Thunderbolt style, giving people a unique reading experience. The description of martial strength in the book was objective and true, giving people a shocking feeling. At the same time, the author also integrated his own imagination into it, bringing novelty to the readers. However, this book was relatively more stud-like, and there might be some discordant content. Overall," Bringing Wuxia to Thunderbolt " was a novel worthy of recommendation. The readers could choose to read it according to their interests and needs.

Although the original ingredients had the original flavor of food, Yun Chu still believed that the most delicious food still needed to be divided, cooked, and handled. The food that was finally served on the table was the food that most suited the stomach of the Tang people.
Steaming, braising, stir-frying, stewing... There were many cooking methods in the kitchen.
Whether it was Goguryeo, the Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, Tiele…or even whales, tigers, sharks, and hungry wolves, the Great Tang was a furnace that could cook them all into peerless delicacies…
