At 96 years old, Liu Laolao was born in Guangdong, while Liu Laoye grew up in Chongqing, Sichuan, where he mastered the family recipe for Sichuan pepper oil. After they met and married in Taiwan, they lived in the Trade Ten Village, a military dependents’ village in Gangshan. In this resource-scarce community, meals often lacked variety, featuring only bland noodles and simple fare. However, with the addition of Liu’s specially crafted fragrant pepper oil, even the plainest meals became flavorful and memorable, leaving the children eagerly cleaning their plates. Neighbors soon heard about this "pepper oil that transforms plain meals into delicious ones" and would bring empty jars to fill with it. This pepper oil became a cherished tradition in Trade Ten Village. After Liu Laoye's unexpected passing, Liu Laolao continued to pass down the recipe, and she now makes it alongside her granddaughter.
