Lao Zhou has been suffering from a cough for half a year. He took more than 1,000 medicines but it didn't work. That afternoon, Zhou You, a canteen helper, made him a bowl of porridge, and Lao Zhou stopped coughing.
At noon of the same day, someone publicly overturned his cooking pot and stepped on his food, saying - "Who will eat the food cooked by a helper?"
He didn't make any noise. From the humidity of the cabbage to the time when it was salted, he reported the faults of the pot of vegetables one by one. The cafeteria supervisor couldn't argue.
That night, he took a sip of Kuding tea - he no longer felt the bitterness.
Someone told him three years ago: If you cook a meal for others, you will get nothing less. Humans have five tastes - bitter, sweet, sour, salty and umami. He only has enough for five bowls in his life.
He just finished the first bowl. There are four items left.
Later he learned that there is a type of people in this world called tasters. Some people take away other people's taste, some create taste out of thin air, and some live by "preserving" other people's taste.
And the food he cooks can make those who eat it break through - the price is that he himself will never taste the same.
