Yipin Pot became a Food Soul during the Ming dynasty and was once a common dish from the Huizhou Mountains. It was named for an allegory in which Lady Yu, wife of Bi Qiang of Shitai County, presented the dish to the Emperor.

Originally a nameless recluse living in the wild, he was taken in by Lady Yu and named "Guo Yipin" in the identity of her elder brother. He was forced to learn the etiquette and to treat others with false courtesy, thus developing a complex character.

Yipin Pot was cooked by Lady Yu and named by the Emperor, so the soul is dressed in formal clothes. As a specialty of Huizhou, his shoulders are embroidered with a pattern resembling the eaves of area. The layers of food are displayed like the landscape, and the sheer lace of his circling arms represent the clouds in the mist.

Yipin Pot is a skilled painter who carries a brush and ink to paint the landscape in his down time.

Yipin Pot's brush and ink are more than his painting tools; they are also his combat weapons.

The mountains and rivers of his hometown have long been part of his heart. He can paint them with great precision even in the face of a dangerous enemy, the majestic landscapes removing their will to fight and resetting their skill cooldowns.

Yipin Pot contains a rich variety of ingredients that can be adjusted based on the condition (usually include fresh local ingredients). Common meats used are shark fin,sea cucumber, chicken, and duck, while vegetables like tofu, mushrooms, and dried bamboo shoots are used as well.

The ingredients must be placed in a specific order. Dried bamboo shoots go on the bottom of the pot, followed by a layer of chopped meat, then fresh or fried tofu, and then a layer of meatballs. Cover everything in bean noodles, then garnish with spinach or day lily. Add seasoning and water and cook over a low flame.

Yipin Pot is a man of few words. He always conceals his emotions. Although born in the wilds of Huizhou, he is famous for his refined bearing within the royal court.
However, unbeknown to other officials, he has poor social skills and his only hobby is Chinese ink painting. He only wants to use his brush the keep the landscapes of Huizhou alive...

"Since my arrival at Kongsang, old friends lament about the passing of my past luxuries. However, that does not matter to me... I am now free to paint the mountains and rivers to my heart's content. To me, there could be no greater blessing.

I just saw the untold beauty of the Alcove at sunset, as the sky erupted in gold and dusk merged with clouds. I rushed back to depict the scene. My thoughts dwell in the painting, thus the journal must end here."

[Master],

You seem quite fond of paintings of nature? If that's not the case, why do you always come to my study?

Well, if there is an ink painting that you want, you can just tell me. We both live in Kongsang... There is no need to be so uptight.

When you look at the paintings, do you prefer the serenity of mountains and rivers, or do you prefer the blooming lives of birds flying in forests?

I once heard of the story of the goddess inside a painting. The appreciator gazed at her for a while, but that was enough to make the goddess think of him for eternity. No one would expect the beautiful lass in the painting to turn into a lovesick woman. Perhaps, hiding inside the painting for thousands of years has brought her nothing but loneliness, causing her to fall for the first mortal she sees...?

Sometimes, rather than engaging in the four arts, having someone by my side mixing ink...might be a better option?

The weather has been quite pleasant. I'm considering going out to find some inspiration.

They say that Huizhou is filled with beautiful infrastructure that embodies an artistic style. Be it the infrastructure, the nature, or the fields, everything has its own aesthetics. Changgai Valley, Mianxi River, and Maihuayu Village... If you were to come with me, I'm sure you would like these places.

However, it will be quite cold by the river. Be sure to bring plenty of clothes to keep warm.

(PS: If the kids want to come for a trip as well, we should bring a few more thick coats.)

(The letter is also a painting. Beside the writing, two figures are sitting by the porch, gazing into the beautiful scenery.)

As we sit underneath the same roof and listen to the melody of the wind chime, it feels so... pleasant. It's as if we're living inside a painting of mine. In the past, I admired the beauty of paintings believing that nature is perfect as it is. But now, I think your presence will make the painting better.

I wish to invite you to live in the reclusion of woods. We'll cross the rivers, climb the peaks, gaze at the fields, and bathe in the sun. I want you to be the muse in all my paintings. What say you?

  **Story****Mountainous Pastime**I go for a stroll in the mountains out back with Yipin Pot and he stands by the roadside looking at something in a daze. What's he looking at?
  **Story****Sea Bass' Thoughts**Yipin Pot stares at the Fermented Tofu and Wenzheng Mountain Bamboo Shoots on the dining table. Could it be that my Anhui cuisine is not up to scratch.
