Synopsis

Live broadcast on the entire Internet, millions of viewers watched the "God of Food" Zhang Qingshan taste the twelve-yuan pre-made food package into a handmade dish. With his reputation gone and his endorsement gone, he fled back to his hometown in Hongshan in despair. Under the old stove in my hometown, there is a handwritten recipe book, a kitchen knife engraved with numbers, and a bronze fragment from three thousand years ago. Grandpa left a message: Take the things and leave, and go to Beijing to find someone knowledgeable. From then on, a cook who relied on his tongue to eat was dragged into a treasure hunt across sixteen countries. From Dunhuang to Kyoto, from Paris to Istanbul... Every dish hides the secret of a lost artifact. Every time he "taste" history with his tongue, his sense of taste diminishes. At the end of the chase, he discovered that what his grandfather hid was not a treasure, but an entire map of a forgotten civilization. The stove is the battlefield, and the tongue is the sword and gun. But he wasn't there to get the treasure; He went to retrieve the story of the treasure. One pot can hold more than just vegetables. It's the country, it's the people, it's the way home.

Urban Fiction

I'm looking for some urban novels, like Ye Lingtian and Li Yuxin, or Xia Meng and Han Dong. The protagonist shouldn't have supernatural powers or cultivate immortality, and shouldn't be pretending to be poor either. Ideally, the books should be long. Thanks!
