Jiang Xiaomi, a "foodie" girl who is born with a keen sense of smell but is often funny, falls behind in her family. In order to repay her huge debt, she has to move to the big city and work as an apprentice chef at the most prestigious "Dingxiang House". She makes jokes along the way but is surrounded by dangers. She encounters the tough-talking and soft-hearted young master Shi Hotpot, the vicious critic Su Tiantian, the funny second chef Huo Xiaoran, and the legendary street vendor Li Youtiao, forming a unique gourmet team.
They are involved in cooking competitions, fame and fortune traps, gourmet gangs, competitions for mysterious ancient recipes, and nonsensical gourmet adventures. From market stalls to royal banquets, from daily bickering to gambles on fate. Food is their common language. Every dish is a mark of their growth. They tasted all the flavors of life among the pots and pans and their emotions, and finally guarded the "fragrant world" in their hearts after an unprecedented competition. The whole book is filled with ups and downs, laughter and tears, and warmth, friendship, dreams and food are all cooked in one pot.
