Lu Shizhou was once the youngest head chef at Lanzhou’s leading restaurant group. After a deliberate frame-up sent his life into a tailspin, he retreated to a cramped home in the old city’s Yanhua Alley.
Relying on his extraordinary culinary talent, he opened a small restaurant called A Little Table at the mouth of the alley and began rebuilding his life with a simple bowl of noodles.
Shen Wantang is the CEO of Wanzhou Investments. Her palate is so discerning it borders on the impossible, and top restaurant professionals across the city quake at the mention of her name.
She had sampled Lanzhou’s finest delicacies, yet still couldn’t find the taste she longed for, until one night, a thread of fragrance drifted from a little shop.
She said, “Your food tells a story.”
He said, “Then come and hear it.”
