On the day of the divorce, Lu Zheng only took away his six-year-old daughter and a few small boxes of luggage. The tall buildings in the city were suffocating, so he decided to return to his hometown - an ancient town hidden at the foot of the famous mountains but long forgotten by tourists.
The old house faces the street. Until that day, my daughter said that she was hungry but I couldn't cook a delicious meal. When I was helpless, [the food inheritance system was activated]. Countless unfamiliar culinary knowledge and ancient recipes flooded into my consciousness.
The next day, he tried to make the "Golden Soup White Jade Banner" suggested by the system, a simple cabbage and tofu dish, but it had an amazing aroma. The first backpacker who strayed in almost swallowed his tongue. The photo was posted online, and the topic "The God of Cooking is hidden under the scenic spot" spread like wildfire.
Diners range from small groups to long queues. The dilapidated ancient town began to wake up, and vacant shops were rented out one after another, and handicrafts, teahouses, and B&Bs were sold. Tourists who originally came only to climb the mountain have listed "going to the foot of the mountain to have a meal with Sister Lin" as a must-have. The bluestone road was polished by footsteps, and the lanterns on the eaves were kept on all night long.
In the end, the title of the travel guide changed from "Journey to a certain mountain" to "Ancient Food Town and Its Mountains". Lu Zheng's shop is still in the same place, but the old tree at the door is covered with prayer cards from all over the world. He held his daughter's hand and stood in the dusk, watching the smoke blend into the lights of thousands of houses. It turned out that the smell of healing others eventually warmed him deeply.
