Naming the Water Margin after "spicy" is probably to give the Water Margin a new flavor. People have various demands for taste. After tasting one taste for a long time, they want to change to another taste. I guess Xiaodong's intention is to give readers of Water Margin a change of taste. Both numbing and spicy are strong and irritating tastes. Readers, please be careful, don't be numbed by Xiaodong, and don't sweat the spicy food.

The food in the mountains and countryside is also indescribably delicious, but it is often hidden in the depths of memory and becomes stronger over time. This book is a collection of personal essays about Sichuan local cuisine. It is divided into five seasons: spring has begun, wheat has turned yellow, rice has ripened, the weather has gotten colder, and the Chinese New Year has begun. The author returns to the remote mountain village along the path of memory, and uses simple and vivid language to record the taste of his hometown that once brought people pleasure in his memory. The taste of his childhood is also the taste and things that are about to pass away or are slowly passing away. In this flat world where distances are increasingly shortened, in this era where molecular cuisine, space cuisine, etc. Are emerging one after another, convenient fast food and takeout have caused today's young people to stay away from and lose a lot of things. The author restores food to life scenes, highlighting the eternal theme of "food is the first necessity of the people". In particular, food (not necessarily delicacies) is not only related to people's material life, but also closely related to people's spiritual life. Remember nostalgia and traditional food is a due and necessary part of it. Those insignificant things will bring unique or exclusive value and meaning to that generation due to their past appearance, and will become more precious as time goes by.
