Old Americans Eat

Five Chinese people who came out of a failed laboratory in Silicon Valley opened a small restaurant on an inconspicuous street in Oakland. The boss, A Gui, sold the store in a courtyard house in Beijing and started over in a foreign country with several of his former colleagues - mentor Director Zheng, chip expert Liu Gong, programmer Xiao Zhou, and administrative manager Mrs. Zheng. The name of the restaurant is "Lao Mei Eats", and the signboard has a line in English: Americansdontfeedus, wefeedAmericans. The business has gradually improved from being deserted, and it relies on more than just food. Agui learned some crafts passed down from his ancestors and made some decorations in the store, and his life was heading in a good direction day by day. But there are people coming and going on the street. The Vietnamese noodle shop next door, the new car repair shop at the corner, and the gangsters who come to collect protection fees every month have their own stories. Some people come and go, some people leave and come back. The talismans on the wall, the clay figurines tied with red ropes on the shelves, and the copper bells hanging on the doorframes all watched in silence as events on this street happened one by one...
