Xie Feng, once the head cook of a special forces unit, returned to the city after leaving the army with an array of hard-won skills and a meager discharge allowance. But he struggled to readjust to civilian life. With bills to pay, he pushed a secondhand three-wheeled food cart and resolutely entered the food business, starting with lunchboxes packed with generous portions and astonishing flavor.
Thanks to the extreme efficiency honed in the military, his obsessive commitment to ingredient quality, and a "god's tongue" that could transform ordinary ingredients into something extraordinary, his "Veteran's Lunchboxes" quickly won the stomachs and hearts of countless customers. From a street stall to the little Veteran's Canteen, and from simple lunchboxes to breakfast noodles and pastries and specialty late-night snacks, his food empire continued to expand. Viral fame, competition from other businesses, ingredient shortages, management challenges... One difficulty after another came his way, but he overcame them all with a soldier's resilience and ingenuity.
