Features: In the early years of the Republic of China, Lu Mengshi, born into poverty, was entrusted by the old manager Tang Deyuan on his deathbed to manage "Fujude." Lu Mengshi harbored the grand ambition of becoming a renowned chef in the capital and building a grand restaurant. He worked diligently, striving for change and growth. He was shrewd and capable, skillful in manipulation; he grasped market trends, adept in management; he knew people well and made wise arrangements. In a few years, with the devoted assistance of the imperial chef Liu Jindong and his confidante, Yu'er, he successfully resolved crises at the imperial banquet hosted by Zhang Xun, the military banquet on the battlefield hosted by Zhang Zuolin, and the night banquet at Wu Peifu's mansion, ultimately making "Fujude" a famous and celebrated restaurant in the capital. Just as the grand building of "Fujude" was completed, and Lu Mengshi was filled with triumph and ready to showcase his talents, he unexpectedly was unceremoniously dismissed by the two narrow-minded young masters, based on a last will and testament left by the old manager. This book is the novel adaptation of the television series. While enjoying the series, readers can also experience the pure artistic pleasure of Beijing-style literature.
