Fan Tao, a foodie nicknamed "Gourmet", was poisoned by food. He traveled back in time to the 1970s, when food was scarce and people often went hungry. He made a lot of jokes because of his eating, and because he mastered knowledge that people didn't know at the time. Fan Tao not only solved the family's hunger problem, but also improved and "invented" many foods. He was able to save the lives of relatives and friends, exposed and stopped some food safety issues, and offended evildoers and received revenge.
"Food is the first necessity of the people." The whole book focuses on the relationship between ordinary people and food, elaborating on a seemingly simple but actually complex principle of life: Only when a person is full can he live, and only when he eats well can he live well. Food connects family, friendship and love, and food also reflects the sinister nature of people's hearts and the harshness of the world.
