After asking in detail, it turned out that the "red gold knife" was actually a copper knife.
And it's not just the kitchenware shortage.
Su Qingluan originally thought that the lack of iron pots and kitchen knives was just a matter of money. As long as she could earn money, she could buy them, no matter how difficult it was. However, she had not expected that many of the most basic seasonings and ingredients that she was used to in modern times would be a luxury for her now!
Forget the modern industrialization of MSG and chicken powder, which rely on technology and ruthless labor. Even common condiments like sugar and refined salt were essentially reserved for the wealthy and powerful. Ordinary people rarely ate sweets, and the only salt they could afford was crude salt, which was rich in impurities, bitter, and inexpensive.

As for other meats, such as pork and mutton, people only buy some during festivals; or poultry like chickens and ducks, although most families raise them, they need to lay eggs and people are reluctant to slaughter them.

Then it was a huge loss for her to travel through time this time!
How could she admit defeat with her burning passion for food? Su Qingluan pondered for a while and came up with an idea.
