An unexpected migration - Shen Shaoguang and his family left their hometown by chance and came to Yong'an City, a prosperous but hidden city. The Shen family, who had just arrived, faced the challenge of making a living. Shen Shaoguang, who was well versed in cooking, decided to give full play to his talents and opened a small restaurant in a corner of the market. Her cooking skills are not as exquisite and luxurious as the palace cuisine, but they have the most authentic home-cooked warmth. Whether it is a steaming bowl of spicy soup or a plate of crispy and delicious oil spinners, they all contain her love for life and her persistence in taste. This unknown restaurant quickly attracted neighbors with its unique flavor, and unexpectedly caught the attention of Jingzhao Shaoyin Linyan.
As a local official in Yong'an City, Lin Yan deals with court affairs and market disputes every day, and is accustomed to the rules and coldness of official circles. During an inspection incognito, he was attracted by the aroma wafting from the small restaurant. After pushing the door in, he was not only impressed by Shen Shaoguang's cooking skills, but also infected by her optimistic and tenacious attitude towards life that was neither humble nor overbearing. At first, the intersection between the two began with "food" - Lin Yan often visited the small restaurant as a diner, chatting about the saltiness of a plate of food, people's livelihood in the market, and the selection of ingredients to talk about the good and evil of people. From Lin Yan's words, Shen Shaoguang gradually learned about the complex texture under the bright surface of Yong'an City, and also discovered that this seemingly serious Shaoyin actually cared about the people and silently sacrificed a lot to protect the peace of the place. A storm surrounding "food" quietly unfolded.
