🍜 Maoqiu Century

How to play: tap “Generate” to drop ingredients → tap one ingredient (it highlights) then tap another of the same level to merge; tap an empty tile to move it (or just drag).
On the shop page pick an ingredient → tap the floating “🍳 Go cook” button (or “🍳 Kitchen” in the tab bar) → pick an idle cooker, choose a seasoning, fire. Finished dishes go to your pantry to deliver or gift. You can only cook recipes you own in “📖 Recipes”.
Tap “Chef Lv” to spend attribute points: 💪 Stamina raises max energy, 🤸 Dexterity improves high-tier ingredient odds, 🧠 Intellect unlocks advanced recipes and raises the ✨ excellent-dish chance (×1.5 reward).
First time in you set your 🧬 origin: ethnicity sets your starting stats (all 56 differ), 🏠 home province pays ×1.10 gold there and ×1.05 in neighbouring provinces (change it for 500 gold).
In the kitchen, the “🛠 Equipment” tab sells 50 stoves (higher ✨ excellent chance, up to 65%) and bellows (global cooldown cut). Higher recipe levels also mean longer cook times (+20% per level).
Tap “📜 Quests”: daily commissions refresh three per day (deliver / merge / gift / serve / signature) and pay gold plus ingredient packs (no energy; unclaimed ones are paid out automatically). Regulars are six storytellers who drop by 30% of the time — reach 10/40/80 affection to unlock their stories and 100 for a one-off return-gift order.
🎐 Seasonal windows: Laba, New Year, Qingming, Dragon Boat, Mid-Autumn… each opens 15 days of limited ingredients and orders (×2 reward), up to 6 per day. Leftovers are sealed into gold when the window closes; anything you have seen returns next year.
