The main line of the story unfolds along the four seasons of a small shop called "Chuan Xu Ji". Boil spring water in spring, summer solstice in summer, autumnal equinox in autumn, and late frost in winter. Each dish corresponds to a season, a person, and a memory. Xiao Xu planted salt-frost grass and mint in the ground to regain the sense of being alive in the soil. From being estranged from Lu Chuan to being side by side, from testing each other to supporting each other, the relationship between the two was like the soup at the bottom of the pot. It took a full two years of simmering on a slow fire before it gradually showed its flavor.
