During the troubled times of the Republic of China, Zhao Yulan, the daughter of a small landowner in Northeast China, had her property plundered by bandits and had to move to the market to make a living. She originally wanted to sell tofu and sauerkraut safely, but because of her "unlucky constitution", she made ridiculous news: iced tofu became famous, spicy sauerkraut became popular, and she became a god of wealth by stepping out of the market. Scholar Du Changshun and her partner, one is a talker and the other is a troublemaker. The two have been hailed as "the strange woman of the Northeast" and "the magician in troubled times" from being a living treasure in the market. They make constant jokes and their absurdities become legends.
