A movie released in September last year, "The Taste of Peppercorns", lazy people did not often watch this kind of theme before, let's call it a family warm drama. The rating of the movie is very high, which is the main reason for attracting lazy people to watch, I did not expect that there are many cameos of stars, the overall feeling is not bad, the plot is smooth, the sense of truth is real, and the concept of home and family affection is portrayed very well.
The whole story revolves around the death of a hot pot restaurant owner, Zhong Zhentao, and in the process of preparing for the funeral, the daughter Zheng Xiuwen discovers that her father actually has two families in Taiwan and the mainland, that is, two half-sisters Lai Yayan and Li Xiaofeng. As a result, they get together, tell each other their hearts, and also uncover the contradictions of their respective families and the value of life.
Because he could not afford to pay liquidated damages, Zheng Xiuwen decided to open the hot pot restaurant until the end of the lease, but no one in the clerk would boil the soup base. With the reunion of the three sisters, they studied together, and they finally got to know their father and the taste of the secret recipe.
Ren Xianqi, who made a cameo appearance as a doctor in the film, and Andy Lau, who made a cameo appearance as an ex-boyfriend, actually know her father far better than Zheng Xiuwen's daughter, because her daughter is busy talking and does not speculate, so she gathers less and leaves more, or opens her heart under the explanation of the two of them. In the same way, the other two sisters eventually reconciled with their families, which is very ordinary but profound. Originally, I thought that the three sisters would keep the hot pot restaurant open, but I didn't expect to choose to close the store in the end, which may be the problem of life, but also the answer to myself, and I have no regrets since then.
