Above there is heaven, below there are Suzhou and Hangzhou. Beyond the charming scenery of Suzhou, its delicious food has become an important element that attracts overseas guests. Before liberation, Zhu Ziye (played by Xia Tian), who lived in Suzhou, was an unprecedented and unparalleled seasoned foodie. He comes from a wealthy family and has no worries about food and clothing with the property left by his ancestors. However, Zhu Ziye had no interest in wearing women's clothes at all. The only thing he loved in his life was eating. He is well-versed in all the delicious foods in the streets and alleys of Suzhou, knowing the subtleties, the tricks, the fame and the legends. Back then, Gao Xiaoting (played by Wang Shihuai), who was still a poor student, met this big foodie. The huge disparity made him full of hatred and aversion towards Zhu. The decade-long turmoil that brought disaster to the country and the people has finally ended in failure. In the current situation where everything needs to be rebuilt, all walks of life are presenting an unprecedented and unique vitality. As the manager of Songhe Lou Restaurant in Suzhou City, Gao Xiaoting is determined to revitalize traditional culture. At this time, Zhu Ziye appeared before him as a "gourmet"... This film is adapted from the novel by Lu Wenfu.[Collapse]
