"Desire", "Vengeance" and "Greed".

"Desire" is set in a remote area in Ancient China where a butcher named Chopper (Liu Xiaoye) is in love with Madam Mei (Kitty Zhang) and tries to buy her, but is beaten to her by the swordsman Big Beard (Senggerenqin) who gets her first. In retaliation, Chopper gets vengeance on Big Beard with his cleaver.[2]

In "Vengeance", a Chef (Mi Dan) is told that the strong Eunuch Liu (Xie Ning) will pass through in a month's time and wants to eat the Chefs renowned eight-course meal. If there anything bad should happen in the meal, the chef will be killed, so he chooses his mute apprentice (Ando Masanobu)to be his successor and to take his place and passes his secret about his fresh fish. The chef is unaware of the real identity of his assistant.[2]
