In Chengdu, China, on April 12, 2025, a woman stirs a chili fermentation vat at the Wang Feng factory, where chilies macerate slowly. She carefully monitors the subtle balance of heat, humidity, and resting time--conditions essential for the chilies to fully release their powerful, complex aromas. This precise gesture, repeated daily, embodies a patient alchemy at the heart of Sichuan's culinary traditions, preserving ancestral know-how.
