[closed post - in whichever of the kitchens is the most platonic]

Typically, Luo Binghe is an extremely neat cook, but if anyone walks into the kitchen now, they will see him in disarray. His outer robe is slipping down his shoulder, and his curls are falling out of the bun he's put them in. Bowls of various sizes hold a random assortment of chopped vegetables with no clear purpose, and he has several pans on the stove already. There are a number of open cookbooks from the library spread out over the countertop, none of which Luo Binghe is using. He is currently tasting every bottle of sauce and jar of paste he found in the pantry.

What in the nine hells is he supposed to make for dinner for someone who just admitted to being from a different world entirely?? Luo Binghe was so confident when he offered to cook, but now he is doubting everything he's ever known about food. He isn't even cooking for Shen Yuan yet, just trying to get everything right for when he does. What tastes good anyway? Who knows??
