In the corner of a fast-paced city, Shuang Li, an ancient novel author, and Hong Yan, a food painter, became connected over a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. One pen flows with the legend of two male protagonists and two female protagonists, and the other paintbrush records the taste memories deep in the alleys. The two have found an incredible resonance between creation and food. When Shuangli encouraged Hongyan to write, a journey of co-creation about "food and drink" quietly began. From their clumsy attempt to reproduce an ancient Poria cake to their persistence in the face of the temptation of publishing, they used words and brushes as boats and sincere friendship as anchors to find their own balance between tradition and modernity, depth and breadth, commerce and purity. This is a story about the original intention of creation, cultural inheritance, and the unusual warmth that shines in ordinary life.
