[Folklore + Horror + Suspense + Mind-Bending + Wild Imagination + Food]
Luoyang is famed for three things: its grottoes, peonies, and water banquet. Of the three, the water banquet is the most mysterious.
Legend has it that there are two kinds of water banquet: Yin and Yang. The Yang banquet is for the living and uses ordinary ingredients, so there is little more to say about it. The Yin banquet, however, follows its own rules. It is made with the waters of the River of Forgetfulness and served as a feast from the Yellow Springs.
They say the Yin banquet is served only at night, with the living and the dead sitting together and sharing a meal. Only lonely spirits detained in the Yellow Springs, still waiting to be reincarnated, can partake in the Yin banquet and see their beloved family once more.
Strange and fantastic as the tale may be, it holds a tender warmth: loved ones reunited, and bonds between the living and the dead that cannot be severed. Yet the true Yin banquet hides an even more terrifying secret...
Strangeness lurks behind the food, and deadly intent hides in the delicacies. Tales of the uncanny from all corners of the land, flavors of mystery from north and south, all are gathered in The Strange Food Chronicles.
The first few chapters are a bit like a Chinese horror movie. The horror atmosphere has already been reached, but it still needs to be explained with science and common sense. If you insist on reading the first few chapters, the rest will be quite interesting and the story is very exciting.
I really like this kind of story with a main line that is composed of small stories. The author has a great imagination. Hmm, there is something wrong with the male protagonist of Turtle Turtle Tang. It's really a battle of love and hatred, and good people are not rewarded. I really love the food + weird content. There is some mysterious knowledge in the book, corpse extermination in Xiangxi, Mi Liduo, Five Ghost Hot Pot, myths and legends about dragons giving birth to nine sons, the evolution of ancient place names, etc. Finally, there is a warm ending. It is really great. Looking forward to the author's other works. I don't know if the person with the same name on Weibo is the real person.
It looks good, but I guess the author is from the north. The hot pots in Sichuan and Chongqing are all oil dishes, and there is basically no sesame sauce.
It's so pretty, but a little short. In the end, I was really upset...
It's a very nice book, I don't know why it's not rated highly. The author's writing is simple and smooth. The storyline is compact and fascinating. The only drawback is that it's too short.
Each little story is wonderful
The little stories seem to be unrelated at first glance, but they are intertwined. They are beautiful, really beautiful! Every character is flesh-and-blood and colorful! Worth watching
Nice! One link after another, one wave after another, the story about the horror of pica is very special, but the writing is attractive. Each story is very interesting, not cliche at all, and has the fate of the characters in the special background of the times. Ghosts are not necessarily scary, but even have a tender side, especially Sister Gu, she is so good, I feel sorry for her!!!
Beautiful, records various folk delicacies and legends
It's so beautiful. The author is amazing.
