Sun Bird Night Market

In 2026, Lu Zhao, a Sichuan cuisine chef who lost his sense of taste and was stigmatized because his father Lu Qianshan was suspected of stealing cultural relics, returned to Chengdu's Qingyang Lane Hehuan Market and took over the late-night restaurant "Zhao Ye Bai" left by his father. When he used an ancestral copper spoon to make dandan noodles for an elderly man with cognitive impairment, he gained the ability to read memories through utensils and food, and discovered fragments of the "Fifth Ray of Light" that were imitated by later generations. Su Mi, a digital restorer from Jinsha Cultural Heritage, came to investigate and jointly investigated the disappearance of Lu Qianshan with food blogger Tang Xiaoman, market mediator Luo Erniang, and delivery driver Xiong Qi. The crowd borrowed tea bowls, twice-cooked pork, Mapo tofu and other foods to awaken the memory of artifacts, and found out that the founder of Vientiane Technology, Su Guanlan, had studied the "Wannixiang Banquet" with Lu Qianshan in an attempt to use the city's digital network to delete the painful memories of his wife Lin Wanzhou and the citizens. Lu Zhao learned that his mother died because of preserving the original memory in the experiment. In order to prevent the plan, his father took Guangyu into Jinjiang's "Food Memory Layer" and sealed his taste. Su Guanlan gathered three feathers of light and launched a banquet on the city's screens, causing a unified false memory of reunion to appear in many places in Chengdu. After Lu Zhao entered the core of the sacrifice banquet, he discovered that the Wanxiang Banquet was not the ancient Shu secret technique that made the royal power immortal, but a ceremony in which various settlements jointly offered food, shared food, and recorded names for ordinary people during disaster years. The fifth light feather was not a missing piece of real cultural relics. In the end, Lu Zhao handed over the naming rights to citizens who voluntarily participated and closed the system by sharing the cost of memory. Lu Qianshan disappeared with the memory layer. A year later, Zhao Yebai continued to operate, Lu Zhao recovered some of his sense of taste, and together with Su Mi, he preserved the true memories voluntarily told by citizens.
