"Zui Xianju", a time-honored restaurant in Jiangcheng, is run by the hot-tempered Shen Zhaotang, known as the "Empress of Fire Spoon". She has a son-in-law, Lu Chen, who comes from a family with declining cooking skills. She has been married for five years and spends all day in the kitchen making fire and making soup.
The whole government regarded him as a prodigal son who was a free-for-all, and he was beaten and scolded at all times and never retaliated. He was hunched over the stove to add firewood, his back was as hunched as a shrimp, and his cuffs were frayed. Everyone thought he would just give in.
In an accident, he acquired the ancestral skill "Heart-to-Heart Fire". Every time you stew a pot of soup, you can actually get a glimpse of the diners' life - joys and sorrows, separation and true feelings, all emerge in the soup.
This skill allows him to simmer soup that is not only delicious and fragrant, but also has the power to soothe people's hearts. A bowl of cabbage soup can save an old dog from overeating and wake up a desperate person.
Others rely on secret recipes to stew soup, but he stews soup with various flavors. Neighbors began to rush to drink the leftover soup he made, and even the food judges dropped their spoons with shaking hands, saying that "what you are drinking is fireworks, and what you are tasting is life."
The son-in-law who was once used as firewood now uses a stove fire to simmer the best soup in Jiangcheng. That pottery bowl with the words "Heart conveys the fire of the hearth" engraved on the bottom will eventually shine again in the world's banquet.
