Content introduction:
Food rambling is the theme memory of literary masters. What is recorded in the book, or people or things, or scenery or places of interest or tidbits or anecdotes, are all related to eating. It uses a plain tone to sink all aspects related to diet, but it is not high, let alone sublimate appetite into the essence of culture.
Recommended reason:
Gourmet was originally a despised "gourmet ghost", but Su Shi once claimed to be it and wrote "Gourmet Fu": "Cover the beauty of polymer to support my gourmet." Since then, "gourmet" has become synonymous with literati's pursuit of food without losing elegance. Zhao Heng, the author of this book, is an expert in this field.
The five "old people" have their own styles: Tang eats liberal arts, Liang Shiqiu eats rationality, Wang Zengqi eats profoundly, and Yuan Mei eats fastidiously and casually. I want to know what life is like at your table.
