Lin Zhixia quit her white-collar job in the city, returned to the old town shop left by her grandmother, and opened a "Zhixia Bento Shop". There is no fancy packaging, just a home-cooked taste. Her bento changes with the seasons: scrambled eggs with Chinese toon and brown rice in spring, cold noodles with braised food in summer, roasted chicken with chestnuts in autumn, and steaming radish and beef brisket in winter.
Grandpa Zhang, who repairs shoes in the alley, always comes to buy bento, saying it tastes like his wife's; Chen Mo, a programmer who works overtime and comes home late, always orders a hot bento as a midnight snack; even Doudou, a naughty primary school student, pesters his mother every day to buy "the love bento made by my sister."
There are no earth-shattering plots, just the fireworks of the old city - the warmth hidden in each vegetable and rice makes everyone who passes by feel the taste of home in the lunch box.
