In Peiping during the Republic of China, there was an old dim sum shop deep in Jin Hutong called "Jinweizhai".
Madam Hu, the proprietress, is in her thirties, fair-skinned, and has a pair of slender eyes that always smile. The snacks she makes are bland, but anyone who eats them will cry.
The ten-year-old orphan girl Jinnian was picked up by the fox fairy proprietress and brought back to the dim sum shop. She has a special ability: she can taste the "emotion" in food - there is sadness in the mung bean cake, jealousy hidden under the honey, and a person who has been dead for hundreds of years is hidden in the sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed rice.
The thousand-year-old fox fairy has cultivated Taoism with good taste, and after tasting all kinds of flavors, he has achieved the right fruit. The price is to never be emotional. With a single move of sincerity, thousands of years of cultivation are gone.
But Jinnian couldn't tell more and more: Was the look in the lady's eyes when she looked at that man's wine bowl considered "emotional"?
