About This Novel
Wang Zengqi Qian said that he is not a person like Zhang Daqian who is really good at food. He just loves to cook, loves to think about how to cook coarse and fine dishes, and loves to talk about eating. In his view, talking about food is also an attitude towards life and culture. All he talked about were home-cooked dishes. Freshly picked garden vegetables, spring leeks and autumn wild vegetables, fresh food cooked in a small market, roasted bamboo shoots in a Buddhist temple, poplar radish, Dragon Boat Festival duck eggs, and wild vegetables from his hometown, all these ordinary foods have a vivid pyrotechnics and come alive in his writings. He is like an ordinary old man on the street, talking about the daily necessities of food, rice, oil and salt, and the flavor of life is reflected in his words.
