Xiqiao Food Talk

In a century-old village at the foot of Yunqi Mountain, there is an inconspicuous small courtyard with a gurgling stream in front of the door and a bridge leading to a quiet path. Twenty-six-year-old Shen Xiqiao is the owner of this small courtyard. She was once an urban white-collar worker. Tired of pre-made dishes and cold cubicles, she returned to her hometown and transformed her ancestral home into a private restaurant with no signboard or menu - "Zhiwei Xiaozhu". Shen Xiqiao has not received any professional training, and her perception of taste seems to be an innate talent. She can taste the aroma of wild mushrooms carried by the wind from a mile away, and can accurately determine the seasoning ratio with her hands. Her dishes use seasonal ingredients from the mountains and bring out the original taste on the tongue. The courtyard only accepts one table of guests every day, and reservations need to be made three months in advance. There are old gourmets who come looking for something to enjoy, frustrated city travelers, and middle-aged wanderers looking for memories. But Shen Xiqiao just stayed in the kitchen quietly, comforting people with food. Until one day, a mysterious man who was temporarily blinded due to a car accident was "dropped" by his friend at the entrance of the courtyard. This man who calls himself "Mu Yan" has become the only "uninvited guest" in the courtyard, and the only person who is closest to Shen Xiqiao's heart, not because of the delicious food. His appearance comes later than the new shoots in spring, but just in time.
