The Riverside Cook: The Everyday Delights of Sanlang

In the hazy drizzle, the Riverside Fresh Eatery opens for business! Crispy pancakes with salted greens and minced pork, a pot brimming with fresh fish, shrimp, crab, and turtle, fermented rice wine topped with rose and sweet bean paste, and vegetarian soup with sesame oil tofu and fermented vegetables! Good food makes life sweet, but it also brings Huai Yue into trouble with the damned Fu Sanlang. Not only is her peaceful life gone, she also gets dragged into the truth behind her parents’ murder years ago.

Fu Zi: “You’re all honeyed words and false smiles, with a dagger hidden in your heart!”

Huai Yue: “That’s right.”

Fu Zi: “You’re up to no good, and you’re after something!”

Huai Yue: “Am I?”

Fu Zi: … “I am.”
