In the late 1970s, in Qingshan Village, a small southern village, Lin Xiaoxi, a 15-year-old orphan girl, lived with her grandparents. She holds ancestral recipes and supports the deserted farmhouse with her good cooking skills, dreaming of taking her family out of poverty. Gu Chen, the calm and capable eldest son of Gu, was attracted by her optimism and ingenuity in the fields and on the stove. In an era when supplies were scarce, girls warmed up the years with delicious food, harvested family affection and love in the smoke and starlight, farmed and weaved hand in hand with their lovers, and opened a warm picture of rural life in the early days of reform and opening up.
