Mei Shuzhen's Selected Works 05: Mei De Shi

Just looking at the titles of each article in this book will make you want to think: Red Beans Turn into Snow and Frost / The Carnal Prayer Mat Served with Rice / Sour and Spicy Wang Zhaojun / Dried Tofu is Sold Out...

Different from the so-called gourmet articles in the market, Mei Shuzhen carries on the tradition by "getting to eat" and uses the connection derived from taste to write a new realm of writing about food and drink.
