Traveling through the Song Dynasty, Qian and Mei just want to be quiet foodies.
A bowl of mutton bone soup breaks the arrogance of officials and relatives, and half a crooked poem draws out the landless survivors.
Wenxi heard that the Pei family lived in Lingzhou, the Fanyang Lu family had lived in Youzhou, and the Zhao family in Zhuozhou was a close relative of the royal family - but they could only test Bingongke.
She casually compiled "Han'er's Happy Song in White Coil", which made all the scholars hang their heads in silence;
The five-string pipa she took out made the musicians exclaim "an old thing from the Tang Dynasty";
She didn't understand "When you raise your eyes to see the sun, you don't see Chang'an", but when she saw the fat little black man raising his glass, there was a desolation in his eyes that she couldn't understand.
Qian and Mei gradually understood that what she wanted to reconcile was not only the five flavors of salt and plum, but also the various oppositions in the world - elegance and vulgarity, south and north, officials and people, as well as those who live in foreign lands but yearn for the Central Plains.
A spoon with bare hands has a harmonious taste; looking at the world with a cold eye, everything is clear.
Let's see how a snack foodie in Bianjing of the Northern Song Dynasty warmed people's hearts with a bowl of hot soup and touched the hidden pain of history with a crooked poem.
The idea: to harmonize the five flavors of the world with delicious food, and to reflect identity through history.
