Dual male leads, a slice-of-life story set in Republican-era China, a straight man falling for another man, face-slapping, and a sweet tale of redemption.
Gu Huaizhou, the owner of the newly opened Shiweizhai on Yutang Street, can’t stand Shen Zhixing, a long-robed ragpicker. What’s the point of dressing so primly when you’re down on your luck? Every day, Shen stands across the street watching him clean out the slop buckets.
Until one snowy night, Gu catches Shen using his frostbitten fingers to pick the star anise from the leftovers, one piece at a time, and wash it clean.
He dries them on the windowsill wrapped in an old newspaper, beside half of a water-damaged copy of The Cuisine of Suiyuan Garden.
Gu Huaizhou suddenly remembers that the young master of the Shen family in North City, three years ago, was supposedly an expert at recreating lost ancient recipes. He doesn’t know if the rumors were true.
His own restaurant is on the verge of closing, and that is exactly what it needs.
Once the idea takes hold, Gu Huaizhou goes looking for him.
As they spend time together, however, he discovers that this man is a treasure trove.
Before long, Gu Huaizhou finds his gaze drawn to him again and again. Then things start to feel more and more out of place...
A cool, soft-hearted, straight restaurant owner gong X a well-mannered, down-on-his-luck ragpicker shou who’s a hidden gem
