On the night when the Later Jin Dynasty destroyed the country, Du Xingshi, the young minister of Si Tianjian, threw the Taotie copper tripod that sealed the Yanyun territory into the Yellow River. Little did he know that the tripod was a double-headed poisonous poison fed by the blood of the Khitan Princess Yelu Zhiwu of Shu. Five years later, the "Shanhe Sheji Kitchen Records" suddenly appeared in the city of the demon city of the Southern Han Dynasty, revealing that the Nine Cauldrons hide the souls of the five generations of monarchs. Those who eat the cauldrons can swallow the fate of the country and will also become gluttonous cauldron puppets! Du Xingshi teamed up with the mysterious cook Jiang Zhanshan and the pipa mathematician Blind Weng (actually an undercover agent) to pursue the tripod and solve the mystery, from the human flesh steamer on the Pearl River to the ghost banquet in Bianliang. Only then did they learn that the princess's tripod was actually to reverse the shame of the "child emperor" Shi Jingtang's sacrifice of soil. When the hungry ghosts in the Khitan cavalry transformed into cauldrons rushed to the south of the Yangtze River, the three of them used their tongues as scales and knives as chopsticks. At the banquet of the troubled times with messy cups and plates, they competed in a heaven-defying gamble in which greed proves the truth!
