This is a personal growth history written with taste, and it is also a history of the scenery of a small county cooked in countless pots.
Thirty-five years of growth, with footprints in more than 30 cities, ultimately point to the same place - Guizhou Jinsha. There are wild fungi bred by the karst landforms, thousand-year-old tea trees nourished by the Chishui River, hotpots sizzling late at night, and mutton noodles that start queuing up at six in the morning.
But this book is about more than just food.
It is about how a man walked out from Jinsha and gathered friends from all over the world with a pot of black bean hot pot in a rental house in Beijing; it is about how he measured the world with his taste buds in more than 30 cities, and finally found that what he wanted to eat the most was the bowl of noodles in his hometown; it is about how after returning, he walked the streets with his brothers, writing down, making and passing on the old flavors that were about to disappear one by one.
Original flavor is the original taste of food and the background of life.
Original Jinsha is where a person comes from and is also where a group of people return.
