An accident left Lin Ziyu, a scholar in Qingshan County, with only two shabby houses and a lot of debt. When everyone thought he was going to be impoverished, he set his sights on the most humble soybean.
Without a golden finger in the system or a prominent background, Lin Ziyu relied on his unyielding determination and wisdom beyond his time to make a fool out of the ordinary dried tofu. The secret recipe of dried tofu wafts far away, which not only revitalized the business of Liu Rumei, a pretty widow in a small teahouse that was on the verge of closing down, but also attracted the covetousness of the Li family, a wealthy businessman in the county, who signed a sky-high contract!
However, PoTian's wealth attracts hungry wolves. Jealous scoundrels want to destroy him, scheming wealthy businessmen covet his secret recipe, and some of the clerks he recruits are sneaky and cunning... From the imperial examination, screening workers, establishing rules, to dealing with open and covert attacks, every step is thrilling.
Let's see how a commoner stirs up the wind and clouds and turns his hands into clouds and rain in the game of business? Faced with coercion and inducement from all forces, how will he maintain this sole foundation of warmth and foothold?
